The Carter administration devised a strategy to reduce the popularity of the communist rebels by coercing the El Salvadoran Government to confiscate farms acreage of more 10 acres, and to give that acreage to the poor city dwellers. The results were a disaster, especially for the former urban poor who were suddenly forced into subsistence farming, and almost collapsed the professional farmers. At the time the press was having a field day reporting the abuses of the right wing death squads and never looked into what exacerbated the problem, which was the land reform program pushed by the Carter administration.
My Boss emigrated to the US and became a US citizen from El Salvidor, and he absolutely hates Carter because of the Communistic policies Carter foisted on the El Salvadorans. Any property owner that own more than ten acres had their land confiscated and redistributed to the "poor" people in the cities with out compensation. Then add to that the mess he made out of the US, outrageous unemployment, double digit inflation, credit crunch for the farmers, American industry collapsing all over the country and the Iranian hostage crisis, think G. W. Bush times two or three!
I suspect the summary article in the LA Times is probably leaving out the few things they didn't actually get wrong, for example I would dearly love to see how the researchers defined Liberal and Conservative, and how they determined which students belonged in which populations; on some campuses if your not a card carrying commie, your a conserative.
it's important to know exactly which garment is undergoing combustion in order to react in a correct and timely manner without unseemly haste or panic I was on fire you insensitive clod, and without undue panic!
Your problem is your thinking in a Liberal Vs. Conservative dimension, but when you look at it in a collectivist vs. individualist dimension you realize that the liberal left and the conservative right are only a few degrees apart rather than 180 degrees; hell even the communists and the religious fascists are only a couple degrees apart.
when you push the glass lens over the edge of the tool, gravity and the longer duration of contact causes the center of the lens to wear more than the edges, which causes the edge of the tool to wear faster so both the tool and the lens start out flat and are curved to an accuracy of a couple ten-millionths of an inch when your done.
I hate digital cameras period, I always want to take another exposure and the digital is always "recording image". The logic in the camera is always fighting against me, I struggle with the UI trying to change from exporure mode from shutter priority to iris priority, and the auto-focus is the work of Satan. I have a film SLR a Cannon FTB ql (35 mm film) and the only thing the battery is used for is the TTL exposure meter, and a Russian Lubitel II twin lens (120 film) that doesn't use any batteries. If your even thinking about hooking a camera up to a telescope, the more automation the camera has, the more the automation is going to get in the way.
Basically you take the oil react it with methanol/sulphuric acid solution to separate the fatty acids from the glycerin, then take the FA and react them with sodium methoxide so any irritants or alergens are pretty much denatured.
Depends on where you are, some places in Africa, South America, Asia, and Australia don't enjoy the same economies of scale we're used to; when generator fuel is hauled in in 20L cans on the backs of camels $4/gallon is a bargain.
I don't think that Exxon ever did a cost/benefit study where the cost was workers killed and the benefit was maintenance expenses saved like BP did in Texas.
It seems like almost any plant oil could be used to make biodiesel Well that's the beauty of it, any plant or animal oil or fat can be used to make biodiesel, even oils that have been previously used like restaurant fryer oil. Using Biodiesel doesn't have to exclude the oil being used for other purposes first.
Is there any proof the KDawson isn't like an psychotic hallucination of CmdrTaco? I really think KDawson is taco's invisible friend with whom he has perverted sexual fantasies.
the "karma system" would have to be multi-dimensional, you'd get more publication credit if your articles survived peer-review, you might get more peerage credit if you comments to an article were moded up by others etc. if your publication score is high, you'd need less peer review, if your peerage is high you'd be able to review more articles or your review would get a heavier weighting. Considering it's the first time my idea has seen the light of day I think it's pretty good, but of course it's still rough and needs some polishing. At worst it could be an idea that seems good at first glance but has unanticipated problems. The system might even encourage some interesting cross field collaborations, maybe a scienceforge instead of a sourceforge.
I'm not sure that even electronic publishing could ever be free, just keeping the disks spinning and bandwidth paid for the usefull life of an article has an monitary expense. I will admit that the monitary expense is minor compared to the costs of editorial and peer review, yet these cost are not exclusively a monitary expense, the initial editorial and peer review could easily be payment in kind for publication credit. I would explain what I'm thinking about as a chimera of Slashdot and arXiv.org. The editors would be editors and be resonsible for maintence of the actually sections and their continuity, there would be an advisory board and advisory boards for the subject sections like at arXiv.org and the whole thing could be karma based. So an article would be submitted, when the editorial board signns off, it goes to the advisory board who would either veto it for errors or vote on it it to establish a ranking for science and topical interest, if the ranking is high enough it gets published on the main page or the subject pages, failing that in stays in the firehose for a while then gets archived. Because topicality is considered for display position and it's web-based all of the mundane things like hardware/software/sysadmin expenses could easily be advertiser sponsored. The "related stories" feature would be very inteesting especially if it could be weighted to provide both agreeing and disagreeing related articles.

I saw it on TV, in case you missed look at the wikipedia entry on the situation; his use of US sovereign territory was a bit over-stated.

You don't honestly think that Big Government, Big Bussiness, Big Religion, Tax and Spend Bush is a conservative do you?

When your the Commander and Chief of the most powerful military in the World, people tend to get nervous when you say "OOPs can I have a Do-over".
Nikon D70 is noted, it sounds like my kind of camera, digital or film thinks for the recommendation.
I might add that buying the best occulars, eyepieces, you can afford as they'll usualy be either a lifetime investment or a lifetime agravation.

Now that I'm home and can get to my bookmarks, check out the journey to forever if you want to know how to actually do it yourself.
most of the difference for you is taxes, without the taxes the prices are pretty much the same.

In the same way too much causes you to die of the screaming shits like dysentery.

it's from Vegoil and biodiesel.
