is Palin a paleontologist(or a Palineotoligist)? Why would she in
particular know or care about coprolites(petrified dung)?

My last doctor's visit the question of alcohol consumption came up. I
told the doctor that I only drink on special occasions like Christmas,
New Years, July 4, etc. and then only drink beer. He asked how much I
drink and I told him that a case of beer lasted me and my wife for a
year.
Yes, I got the "You need to cut back on alcohol consumption" speech
too and promptly ignored it.

There are a few of us. I drink a six-pack of beer per year and a bottle
of wine lasts me a week with meals. That's it. There really are a few
of us who drink in moderation.

Don't concern yourself with Chris. He's living proof of what happens

I believed you were referin to a public figure, my apologies. That does sound
pretty stupid, though. Truthfully though I've never heard any conservative
ever suggest the Israelis leave. Your exboss my have thought he was right
wing, you may have though he was due to your own beleifs, but that is ahrdly a
genuien right wing position. Did he also think America would be better if the
blacks would get on a boat and go back to Africa? Cause if he did 30 years ago
he would have been a Democrat.

More correctly the rightwingers get tired of the name calling and irational
ravings. One is not required under any circumstances to endure the rantings of
a fool. He may rant at length if that is his choice but there is no
requirement that I stand and listen to him. On balance there are other
activities that are a much better use of my time.

Not from a clean, properly oxygenated, near-atmospheric pressure flame.
NOx compounds are not formed at the relatively low temperatures found
there, and CO is only formed in the presence of insufficient oxygen.

My request for a Cite to Cliff was a polite way of saying that he has
no clue. If he tries to find cites for space heater combustion
products killing plants, he should realize that he is wrong. You
might also look for a cite for your statement about CO and NOS.

I think you are missing the point.
The issue is that the rights are given by the Creator, and the
government is constrained from limiting those rights.
The individual states should also be required to recognize the same rights.
No state should be allowed to restrict basic rights of humans.

Cliff did not make that claim. Reuters did basing their report on world

figures to Reuters.

You posted a link to an article which spoke solely for the United

=========
Even with multiple not-for-profit insurance companies you still
wind up with massive duplication. For example each company has
their own Board, Chairman, President, multiple vice-presidents,
and other corporate officers, and each of these has a staff and
perks, etc. You still have duplication of IT and other services.
Each of the non-profits still accumulates "excessive of income
over expenses," as reserves.
It makes much more sense from the standpoint of maximizing the
impact of health care dollars for the public to have a single
payer public option, with the requirement that the salaries are
GSA [with possibly a few GSA "super grades"], the furniture is
GSA, the buildings are GSA, the benefits [medical/retirement] are
government standard, no corporate planes, no excessive executive
perks, etc.
Make no mistake about it. Some people will take it in the shorts
big time with a change to a single payer public system such as
the 30 Well point executives that make over 1 million dollars per
year each, but this largess is funded with money skimmed from
health care.
There is little to no chance that all of the money currently
being skimmed off the top will be recovered and used to pay for
actual health care, but much of it can and will be with a single
payer public option. However, much will depend on how well
Congress "micromanages" the new organization, for example by
specifying staffing/manning to prevent the establishment of
another "all chiefs, no indians" organization and by forcing the
use of GSA services/products where applicable, i.e. no antique
commodes for the executives offices, and GSA standard vehicles.

TOPIC: How to play with EMC2 and G code without an actual mill

I would like to somehow practice EMC2 (milling application, 3 axis),
and G-code and other such things, without actually running a mill. It
would be a "simulation". What kind of software can I use.
Ergo, say, if I could specify the tool geometry, location, raw
material geometry and location, then applied G-Code, I want to see
what I would end up with AS IF I machined it.
Any suggestions?
Preferably Linux
thanks
