    I've been praying for a sign-off since I dropped an app in November. If only one freaking person would pay one scrap of attention to one frakking little report they were willing to accept and order at 80 hours. It's close to two crying damn months and I don't even have one sentence, even an animal grunt, of feedback. I was supposed to leave tomorrow (3am) for the mine, today they postponed another week; the third one-week postponment in a row.

    There are a number of web sites now that provide a place for scientists to "self publish" their work without having to go through the usual peer reviewed journal process which can often take up to 2 years. The journals themselves are published usually by book companies and are, to put it mildy, expensive. I think some of the sites have peer review panels while others are simply repositories. Certainly, people aren't allowed to go in and spray graffiti over things they don't like. Scientific Commons[^], DSpace[^], and Open Access Journals[^] are some I know about.

Yes, you can work out that Adam was 6000 years ago. The problem is, the Bible does not say that Adam was the first man, it's just assumed that Gen 2 is Gen 1 in more detail, but there are reasons this makes no sense and it does not make that claim.

    So, since we're apparently getting the entire story finally: The firemen put up a display of cross cultural symbols associated with this time of year, numerous religions, on their own time, on private property? Yea, whoever complained is a putz, but if the department itself(rather than the men behind it) backed it, he'd have a case.

Not sure what you mean by convenience checks. Checks (Cheques) are not very common here these days. Dan Neely wrote: TOH if the type of loan you're discussing is what I think it is[^], it's apparently a very uncommon product in the US. Many mortgage providers here offer what they call an offset account which is very similar to what your link describes.

    NEVER underestimate the amount or quality of dumbness this world can produce (I think it was einstein who said the only two infinite things are the universe and stupidity and he wasnt sure about the universe!) Go away and research the subject, analyze the options for and against, understand the problem and them come back when you agree with me.

    Yes, very well put. Fuel from corn is insane, and yes, corn is a gross feeder and requires more fertiliser than any other crop I can think of. I have stopped growing it at home, I'd rather pay 30 cents an ear when it's harvest time, than pay the cost of growing it to my soil. This is also why corn as fuel is in fact a loss in terms of CO2 and oil use. The corn lobby in the US is the only reason such an insane path has been taken.

His Lordship's cooling trend can be derived from the IPCC (CRU) data too (as demonstrated by His Lordship in these 4 graphs)[^]. "If we begin in 1993 (top left) and advance the start-date for the global temperature data successively by 4 years at a time, the UN’s own data show the world heading for an Ice Age. Using the same data as the UN’s climate panel, we reach a diametrically opposite (and equally unjustifiable) conclusion." 'Caught Green Handed'[^] (page 25).
