Biodiesel... until the car fueled by water is reality... :)

my husband and i are planning to make biodiesel for our diesel car.

looks like it will be a hobby for him-- he enjoys chemistry.

we will make a fumeless processor, and put the whole setup in our basement.

I have been doing research into biodiesel. The part that's the kicker to me is that, currently...the only sedans available in the US are either the small VW models or a few Mercedes that are coming in. All the american stuff are trucks. I contemplated something the size of the new Chevy HHR with a diesel engine...using biodiesel...and running a green, efficient, and profitable taxi service. Having a real hurdle trying to find a vehicle that would do.

Evidently, at the moment, the most common here in the states is B20. A step in the right direction and easily produced. Also it requires NO engine modifications at all.

BWAHAHAHAHAHA--WTF? Did anyone read this Pat Robertson article?

apparently, god is not a theater fan .

he prefers television

hollywood pat robertson on sunday said that hurricane katrina was gods way of expressing its anger at the academy of television arts and sciences for its selection of ellen degeneres to host this years emmy awards.

I'm with George Carlin on this issue. I'm now a Sun worshiper...but I pray to Joe Pesci. After all, he's the kind of guy who can get stuff done. The neighbors downstairs making all the racket...I prayed for years for them to stop. All it took though, was one visit from Joe...no more noisy neighbors.

Pat Robertson is definitely a nut job. He exemplifies all that is wrong and evil with this radical fundamentalist evangelical movement that seems to have such power today. Just remember....many of the most powerful men in America seem to currently depend on PR and his ilk as their "base".

Do You Talk About Poltics Freely (In Real Life)?

or are you careful as to what you say?

?

CoonDawg

I try to get a feel for what people are thinking before adding my 2 cents in.

My level and tone of discussion depend on the above, but for the most part I freely express my opinions. It really depends on the circumstances. Ever since I gained my political awareness, I feel like I'm making up for lost time. The one thing I really try to avoid is entering debates where I don't have enough facts about the subject. I'll usually sit back and listen... I can't stand when people who have no idea what they are talking about just start blathering on making no sense and spewing whatever the popular party doctrine may be on that particular day....and that's on both sides of the aisle.

She goes to work, but she's a slob because she'd rather be surfing the net or playing playstation. It affects other parts of her life too. Don't get me wrong, we are here for her and want her to do better with her life...We just don't know what more we can do.

but if you want the kid to exercise and dance...well, stop stuffing your bloated, goitered face...get off your fat ass and take your kid outside to play...or put some music on and play with them...
typed like a true asshole. oops. forgot to add the mandatory imo ending.

Well, for your information, I wasn't targeting anyone specifically with my comments...they were rather general. Maybe this tubby guy is the last one who should be making weight references...but I find that many are lazy when it comes to spending time with their kids and would rather leave education and development to others...case in point, my stepdaughter. Somewhere along the way she got the idea that her son would just assimilate information and that reading to him and doing activities with him were just not necessary. Looking at other aspects of her life such as her housekeeping abilities, this is primarily because she's lazy.

PS...Compared to most assholes...I'm just an anus

friends

what are your favorite sci fi movies or books.. mine.. asimov's foundation series.

clarke's childhoods end.. the day the earth stood still.

close encounters.

CoonDawg

I'm a HUGE Heinlein fan. Job: A Comedy of Justice is probably one of my favorites of all time...as well as Stranger in a Strange Land and To Sail Beyond the Sunset.

I also like Harry Turtledove's alternate history stuff and some Piers Anthony. I loved Enders Game.

As far as movies...well, where to begin....

The Matrix Trilogy, Outworld, the BattleStar Gallactica series...old and new....I even like the old Buck Rogers series.

Ern

PS...my wife is a bigger sci-fi fan than me. She just bought a new set of the Robot Trilogy and the Foundation series

She writes sci-fi short stories in her spare time.

I think it's okay for fawning grandparents to "baby talk" to their grandkids....but for a TV show to be filled with gibberish...sure it's a time filler with music and color...but if you want the kid to exercise and dance...well, stop stuffing your bloated, goitered face...get off your fat ass and take your kid outside to play...or put some music on and play with them...

Barny sucks...but at least he TALKS to the kids. As soon as I could, my grandson was directed to things like Sesame Street and Bob the Builder...Thomas & Friends....things that he might actually get some benefit from. My grandson was Bob the Builder for Halloween last year. It was so cute. This year, I'm supposed to take him trick or treating.

All this swill comes back to people being more and more dependent on things to keep their kids busy without encroaching on their time to do their thing.

JMO, of course...
