Dracos6 , while i agree with your method and others that use it I can only speculate that the grinding will only speed up the process of oxidation , why not just leave them whole. That would make less surface area exposed , and possibly less oxidation and longer life (active).

A quote from TiHKAL: quote: The term LSD comes from the initials of the German for lysergic acid diethylamide, or Lysersäure Diethylamid. The number "25" following it has many myths attached to it, such as it was the 25th form of LSD that Hofmann tried, or it was his 25th attempt to make LSD. From my own experience with chemical companies that are allied with pharmaceutical houses, I had assumed that the chemical name (which might be a mouthful for the pharmacologist) was simply replaced with a pronounceable code number equivalent. But the answer here is yet simpler. Hofmann, in his LSD, My Problem Child wrote: "In 1938, I produced the twenty fifth substance in a series of lysergic acid derivatives: lysergic acid diethylamide, abbreviated LSD-25 ... for laboratory usage."

Hmm a link to PETA , (Do you realy loooove animals ? We do....) , really when you read their properganda about meat , it seems really relative to Europe / Us markets but as we don't keep our beef iside during winter i can go home and tuck into a massive slab of flesh for dinner guilt free.

Well now that I'm aware of all these new keys on the computer (thanks Benz ) i thought I'd give it a go chatting in Arabic (as you do). Anyway i compiled a line of jiberish: ﺦﻅﺫﻛﻏﺳﺷﻘﺭﻷﻺ and tried to post it in the chat room , well it wouldn't take it ?So what's going on , may-be the people that monitor chatrooms when people post in Arabic are maddly trying to work out what i said , and as it makes no sense may-be they think it is code ? (I love a conspiricay theory :D ) or may-be the software doesn't support Arabic ? Any way quirky isn't it ? Just think of all the conversation we have been missing out on with our Arab brothers.

Didn't lock the chat room door tho , what a mess

I would tend to think of Al qaeda as an ideology more than a functional organisation , you don't need to be a member you just have to agree with the Ideology then make it big and your in.

I guessing the air-fare will be 2000-2500 to europe .

As a hang up from the days when i used to do alo t of cycling i still love "Le Tour" (by the way , how do you make those accent marks above the letters ? ) Any way those that watched the live coverage last night would have seen Gabriel Gatte do his segment called "the taste of the tour" where each day he profiles the food that this region where the stage is being held is renowned for. Any way last night was a cake but he did make an interesting comment that this area is also renowned for it's wild mushrooms. He went on explain that the people go out into the forest and collect all the mushrooms/fungus they can find , then they take them to the local chemist shop. The chemist will then tell you which ones are poisonous and which are edible , i think that is very cool. Can't see what's in it for the Chemist , maybe he charges for his service , but wouldn't it be good if your local Amcal had this sort of knowledge and service. [ 08.

Le toúr :D Wow computers are so cool , now another one that's been bothering me in that little symbol for microgram ?

With the availability of Marquis reagent for Meth, MDMA , etc... and sites that test pills for content , why has LSD been excluded ? It seems their is a product that tests for presence of LSD as seen here but I've not seen any science yet to put the argument to bed. So maybe there is demand for a site that posts results of blotter tests ?

Wouldn't hydrogen be pretty dangerous in an accident ? I think natural gas would be the way to go , then you could fill up at home on your gas bill !!

quote: if the US wasn't occupying Mecca That isn't true , sure the American govt. has some influnece over the Saudi royal family , but that is a long way from occupation.

WOW , I didn't think Beecher had it in him , but Schilinger did murder his family so i can see why he did it.

Love your avitar , kind of hypnotic.

quote: one of the old female security guards was Tony's wife on the Sopranos Of course ! I thought i knew her from some other show just couldn't place it.So what happened to Tobias' partner (Chris) he wasn't around last night ?

speaking of diverse portfolio of acting , but he preist and Chris (the Tobias' partner) both appear in one of those Dick Wolfe SVU type shows , huge charchter change for both of those. And while I've got some fans here , can some one fill me in as to why O'riely and that female doctor he had raped are now so friendly ?

The US version is still good for a laugh , some how corporate America cracks me up just because of the way they veiw the orginisation and political correctness.

As an employer ,I'm all for the changes.We employ 60 staff over 2 sites, it's got to the point recently that it's so hard to fire some one that we only employ new people as a last resort , and then we use an employment agency so if they turn out to be no good we just give them back to the employment agency and they become their problem.The cost of employment via an agency is greater as you pay GST on their wages which comes as a bill once a month , but it far outways the inconvience of being forced to employ dud staff . Good people are always in demand , when the going gets tough it's the duds that are first to go , like wise with hiring the good people are snapped up fast. In the rural areas good people are hard to come by , as soon as they show any talent they head off to the city never to return.So if i treat my good staff bad they will walk as there are so many other places looking for these types. So , i will do anything to keep my (good)staff , more pay ,better conditions, any thing to keep them. Anyone tried to fire some one ? Last time i did i spent so much time and money on solicitors , counciling , group hugs and drama that i gave up and just put it down as a lesson to screen people more thoroughly (or use an agency). As far as the unionist activity of last week , i can't believe the arogance of these types. Almost all that i know that work on building sites are making huge $$$ compared with the rest of the comunity , the real battlers work in child care , call centres , hospitality. And this myth about the working man battling on for huge hours not being able to spend time with the family , f@*k me i would love to work a 40 hour week with a lunch break. Almost all employers work well over the 40 hour week without all the benifits , and throw in the added stress of keeping your head above water and the fact that the buck does stop with you , you just don't knock off and go home and worry again in the morning. Being an employer is not for everyone , but anyone can do it , you just have to have the balls to put your house and entire lifes effort on the line with the faith you will succeed . At that point you tend to see things in a differnet light. So sometimes i entertain the idea of going back and working 40 hrs for wages and having a lunch break (not eating at your desk between calls) and leaving the stress behind , but then i wouldn't be able to spend so much of my day here

Excellent , i can feel the warmth of the fire from here.

Looks sexual to me , very male.

Watch that chunky potting mix , if it sits up close to the young ones (the chunks that is )the water it holds can start a rotting where it touches the plant. Easy fix is a thin layer of sand over the top.

This will be the greatest thing to ever happen to Australian soccer , imagine making it into the world cup this is so much fairer than having to beat the fourth best South American team just to get there. FIFA ratifies Australia's move to AFC 14:19 AEST Thu Jun 30 2005 AAP FIFA's executive committee has ratified Australia's migration from the Oceania confederation (OFC) to the Asian confederation (AFC), a move that will have a major impact on soccer in both regions. Australia had not been expected to be given approval to join Asia until September when FIFA's Congress meets in Marrakech, Morocco. But the executive committee saw no reason to wait until then, said FIFA president Sepp Blatter on Wednesday. "All the participants were happy with the move and this being the case, the executive committee approved it under the statutes. It did not need to wait for Congress," he said. Blatter added: "The Oceania delegates have thought for many years that Australia was too powerful and blocked the way of the other 11 countries. "Now New Zealand, and the Pacific islands at least have a chance. They can go it alone, I am sure it will be a success." Mohamed Bin Hammam, the AFC president, said: "The FIFA executive committee decided to allow Australia to move now and I am very glad it has happened. "It makes sense from both the Oceania point of view and for Asia it is good that we have another strong country," he said. Australia now becomes the 46th member of the AFC and its new status should have a hugely beneficial impact on the development of soccer in the country. The move will also end a series of mis-matches which have included Australia crushing Pacific island nations American Samoa 31-0 and Tonga 22-0 in World Cup qualifiers in the past few years. At the same time it will give Australia a far more realistic chance of reaching future World Cup finals - something they have not done since 1974 in West Germany. Australia have usually won the Oceania zone qualifying competition with ease - and then faltered in a two-legged playoff against South American or Asian opponents. This way they can afford to lose some matches like every other nation does during the 18-month long qualifying campaign - and still get through to the finals. The announcement was made on the day Australia coach Frank Farina stepped down from his job after three straight defeats by his team in the Confederations Cup. Australia are still hoping to qualify for the 2006 World Cup in Germany through their traditional route, but will be an Asian nation for the 2010 qualifying campaign ahead of the finals in South Africa. ©AAP 2005
