  1. Just a quick browse of of the Wiki page for Mercola shows he is a big-time medical crackpot. Just a few tidbits for your amusement:

     

    • Mercola advises elimination of most prescription drugs and immunizations, and favors what he calls natural food choices, lifestyle modifications and energy psychology tools to address emotional challenges.
       
    • Foods he recommends avoiding include pasteurized milk, homogenized milk, most fish (due to mercury content), trans fats, certain processed vegetable fats (such as corn and canola oil), unfermented soy products, artificial sweeteners, sugar, starches, and for those with elevated insulin levels (such as anyone who is overweight, diabetic, or has high blood pressure or high cholesterol) he also advises avoiding all grain products (including "even whole unprocessed grains, and alternative grains like quinoa, amaranth, millet and teff"), fruit juices (including fresh-squeezed fruit juices), and canned, packaged or artificial foods.
       
    • Mercola makes an extensive argument that disease alerts such as swine flu and their resulting immunizations were actually false alarms put forth to terrify the public.

     

    There is MUCH more on Wiki, QuackWatch, and even a BusinessWeek article about his marketing of "questionable" products.

  2. I'm now in my own apartment for the fall, and I noticed that the oven's dial goes up to 500 degrees fahrenheit. According to twn.ca's conversions, that's 260 degrees celsius. ...

     

    One very important fact about the basic home oven: They do not maintain a constant temperature. The burners/elements (gas/electric) cycle on and off to acheive an average temperature. My oven (natural gas) runs about +/- 30°F around the selected temperature.

  3. In September 2008, McCarthy made this statement about Amanda Peet's position: "She has a lot of [nerve] to come forward and be on that side, because there is an angry mob on my side, and I like the fact that I can say she's completely wrong"

     

    (Don't ya' just love the "angry mob" reference?)

     

    Original interview with Amanda Peet: http://www.cookiemag.com/entertainment/2008/07/amandapeet

    Follow-up statement (apologizing for a poorly worded phrase.):http://www.cookiemag.com/entertainment/2008/07/peet_apology

     

    The same magazine published a "Vaccine Expert Q&A". (One doctor cites studies disproving any link between vaccines and austism. The other doctor cites his "29 years" of practice, and finishes with, "I think that the public health benefits to vaccinating are grossly overstated."

  4. did you even bother to read my links?

    What does that have to do with anything? You asked for information, it was provided, you ignored it.

     

    However, I did visit the two links you offered. Both sites, "Debunking Evolution" and "Darwin's Theory of Evolution Debunked" simply parrot many of the common misconceptions of evolutionary biology. All of their arguments are addressed by the data available from numerous researchers. If you ever decide to try learning what science has to offer, the TalkOrigins website makes their results accessible to the masses in more readable forms.

     

    I did go through several FAQ and they were all shit ...

    In other words, the scientific facts do not fit your world-view?

     

    ... i already know nothing revolutinary.

    I'd say that is an accurate statement.

  5. i did read your articles you guys posted, before i read the debunk of evolution then again after i read the debunk because i wanted to make sure i was getting good intel.

     

    Oh, really?

     

    ... If you want to actually *learn* something about the subject you're criticisizing, Go Here.

     

    At best, I believe you quickly skimmed the TalkOrigins FAQ. Did you bother click through even one of the more than 60 links to more detailed information?

  6. Guiness Stout Ice Cream

     

    It's surprisingly good -- not bitter at all.

     

    1 cup Guinness stout(or any stout beer)

    1 cup whole milk

    2 cups cream

    2 ounces glucose syrup

    1 cup sugar

    1 cup egg yolks

     

    Bring beer, milk, cream, glucose, and sugar to a boil, drizzle into the egg yolks while whisking vigorously. Heat to 185 degrees F stirring constantly and pour through a fine seive and chill over an ice bath. When ice cream base is cold, freeze in an ice cream machine.

  7. Is this just a standard jet engine (turbofan type) with it's outer casing removed?

     

    From what I have read, "open rotor" is just a new name for "turboprop".

     

    I found this: http://www.aviationweek.com/aw/generic/story_generic.jsp?channel=awst&id=news/aw051208p2.xml

    General Electric is joining with NASA to revive studies of its long-abandoned GE36 unducted fan, or "open rotor" and is simultaneously launching a next-generation CF34 technology effort as part of a pressing drive to develop families of fuel-saving engines.
  8. A few years back, Epson settled a lawsuit concerning prematurely "empty" cartridges. More recently, a suit was filed against HP and Staples for "colluding to inflate the price of printer ink cartridges"

     

    The OEM cartridges in my Epson CX4800 are non-resettable, but I found a refill kit with new automatic resetting chips. For the price of less than two sets of OEM cartridges I have refilled the replacements three times, and I still have enough ink for at least four more refills.
