Placer pronounced "plass-er"

2006-08-12T22:00:00.000-07:00

Placer mining

(pronounced "plass-er") refers to the mining of alluvial deposits for minerals. This may be done by open-pit or open-cast mining or by various forms of tunneling. Excavation may be accomplished using water pressure (hydraulic mining), surface excavating equipment or tunneling equipment.

Found in the dry, hilly regions of south central Madagascar, these amazing frogs escape the searing heat and dry winds of the region by burrowing into the ground for the duration of the dry season. Very shy by nature, when threatened, these frogs inflate themselves and will not hesitate to charge their assailants. These frogs can be very gluttonous, devouring a wide variety of bugs, grubs and the like.

What kind of Frog are you?

Star Wars Transformers are coming

2005-11-16T08:45:00.000-08:00

From IGN.com news:

Star Wars Transforms
New toys are more than meets the Jedi.
by Hilary Goldstein

November 14, 2005 - Starwars.com recently revealed an exciting new line of toys from Hasbro. Mixing the two most-popular Hasbro brands, Star Wars Transformers arrives in January.

The first wave features four Star Wars character as robots in disguise. Darth Vader transforms into a Tie Fighter, Obi-Wan into a Jedi Starfighter, General Grievous into a Wheel Bike and Luke Skywalker becomes an X-Wing.

No price point has been announced at this time, but if the series keeps in line with Transformers Alternators expect to drop around $20 a pop. Also expect these to disappear from shelves in a hurry.

The first pics of all four Star Wars Transformers can be viewed at starwars.com.

Hackers found a way to exploit Sony's controversial copyright protection software. The software automatically installs itself on a PC when a user runs one of Sony's new protected CDs and the files are hidden making it difficult to uninstall.

The hackers utilize the cloaking technology of Sony's software to hide malware that can break down firewalls and expose the system.

Sony has provided a download to uninstall the cloaking software (though it won't remove the copyright protection software it hides) so that users can reveal the files, supposedly removing the threat posed by the trojan.

Subject: ugh

Brad,

It would be difficult for me to be any more miserable right now, I feel like the worst person ever. First, let me start by saying that I am truly truly sorry, and I hate myself for hurting you. Of all the people in the whole entire world, you were honestly the last person that I would ever want to wrong in any way. There is no excuse at all for anything that happened, so I won't even try other than to say all of us had WAY too much to drink, and I did a stupid thing. I can handle you being pissed at me, I absolutely deserve it, I can even handle the ugly words that were exchanged between us, what I can't handle is thinking that you see me as a different person. It is weird, I feel like I just went through a horrible break up or something. The world looked funny yesterday, I couldn't crack a smile if you paid me, there are songs I can't listen to, and I just ! feel beyond crushed. I don't know if you meant everything you said to me, and I am hoping that you didn't. I know that I was wrong on many levels, but I am also hoping that this is something that we can deal with. I know it sounds totally crazy and stupid, but you have come to play such a significant role in my life, I can't imagine my days without you. It is totally strange and weird to say that, and you could say that my behavior didn't reflect that, and you would be correct. I hate feeling like you hate me, and I hate feeling like all of your friends think I am a terrible person, because I am not. I know there is nothing I can say or do to take back what happened, but I just want you to know that fighting with you was just about the worst thing I could have ever imagined. It was right up there with one of the ugliest nights of my life, and I would give anything in the world to rewind and fix it.

I am not sure if you will respond to this, part of me thinks that you won't. If not today, then maybe some other time. Also, thanks for getting my stuff together, although I think my sunglasses are still at your house, if you could keep your eyes peeled for them that would be great. I can't even focus or work today, I can't eat, I seriously feel like it was an ugly break up, and I am hoping against hopes that it was not that and you are not done with me. Please don't cut me off, I really don't think I can handle that.

I am so sorry.

Dear Elizabeth,

Thank you for your concern. I'll be sure to file it away under "L" for "Long-winded diatribes from drunken whores I couldn't care less about".

You did a stupid thing huh? No...doing long division and forgetting to carry the one is "a stupid thing"; Mixing in a red sock with a load of whites is "a stupid thing"; Blowing some guy in a bathroom for 45 minutes while I sit at the bar wondering if you're taking so long because you ate too much bran that morning isn't as much a "Stupid thing" as it is grounds for permanent removal from my social calendar.

To be honest, I'm not sure if it was more amusing that you went and degraded yourself in a public toilet not once but twice in a 2 hour span, or that you seemed to think that by saying "Well, I didn't fark him" somehow gave you a clean slate.

So forgive me if I couldn't care less if the world "looked funny" to you yesterday. Since your world revolves around blow dryers, golden retrievers, Prada Bags and Jelly Beans, I'm sure it must have been most unsettling to actually have to consider someone else's feelings for 24 hours straight. The good news for you is that my friends don't think you're a terrible person, they just think you're the average run of the mill cum-guzzling blond who commands about as much respect as your average child porn collector. I could be wrong but, it's pretty hard to respect some B&T chick who comes out to spend the night at my place even though she's seeing someone else in New jersey and winds up tongue-bathing the taint of anyone who decides 30 minutes of droning commentary on Colin Farrell's new haircut is worth putting up with for a hand job in the men's room. The good thing about being a guy is that when I eventually bump into the young lad who finger-blasted you on top of a towel dispenser last saturday, we'll have a shot and laugh our heads off about the time it happened.

By the way, for the amount of time you claim to spend in spin class you really must be doing something wrong to sport the thunder thighs you do. Watching you parade around my bedroom in a thong was a little like watching sea lions mate. Thought you might like to know.

PS. I BCC'd about 100 people on this email.

Talk to you never,
Brad

2005-10-31T12:57:00.000-08:00

I already knew "Leatherneck" was a reference to their original leather collars but now I know:

Marines have several generic nicknames, mildly derogatory when used by outsiders but complimentary when used by Marines themselves. They include "jarhead" (it was said their hats on their uniform made them look like mason jars, or that the regulation "high and tight" haircut gave the appearance of a jar-lid)...

Dropsy Kills

2005-09-16T08:17:00.000-07:00

Dropsy is fatal to bettas and there is no known cure.

GENERAL INFO: This is a most common and most fatal betta disease. Very little is know about it, other than it is abdominal bloating and that the tissues of betta get filled with fluids. Some say it is contagious, other say it is not. All I know is that it has killed many bettas in my fishroom over the years and I have never EVER been able to save a single one of them. I treat it as a very contagious disease, since it is most fatal, and I don’t joke around with it.
SYMPTOMS: It is easy to diagnose a betta with Dropsy: Look for two signs: an abnormally big (bloated) belly and if you look at betta from the top, raised scales. Scales will look like an open pine cone. If you see this, you are out of luck, and so is Betta. He will soon go to betta heaven :((…
TREATMENT: No known cure. Keep water clean, keep him AWAY from any other bettas etc… You may try tetracycline if you catch it very early on. I always try something, just in case, though I have to yet found anything that will stop this horrible disease. It may take up to 15 days for betta to die, though usually about 5 days. Any betta with dropsy should be immediately ISOLATED!!!! Prayer may not hurt.

After several hours of friendly debate and online research my crack problem solving team of coworkers have finally only somewhat grudgingly agreed to accept the following definitional differences between what is considered barbequing and grilling:

Barbeque is a slow cook process with indirect heat.

Grilling is a fast cook process with direct heat.

Personally I think they're the same thing, the only difference being whether you use BBQ sauce.

Thank you FixedGear for answering my question: Why are bicycle cranks always on the right-hand side?

From:	fixedgear
Subject:	Re: a question about bicycle gears
	It is a holdover from when most bikes were single speed, direct drive. The action of pedalling would cause the (right hand threaded) drivetrain to get tighter, not looser. The rear sprocket is threaded on to the hub. Pedalling forward causes the sprocket to want to get screwed on even tighter, a good thing. Did that make sense? This is sort of related to why left pedals are left hand threaded, so they don't get looser with use.

Tryptophan is a natural sedative released in men's brains after reaching orgasm. This is why men naturally roll over and fall asleep after having sex.

Women's brains release a natural stimulant, Oxytocin after an orgasm. This is why they naturally want to sit up, cuddle and talk after having sex.

2005-06-11T14:28:00.000-07:00

some of minime's chores are cleaning out the car and taking out the garbage/recycling, here's a conversation we had a few minutes ago:

minime: I found six Red Bull cans in the car this week

i: Yeah I been drinking a lot of those lately

m: I'm glad you're drinking less beer

i: ?! why's that?

m: because i think sugar free red bull is better for you and it's easier to take out the recycling

i: the recycling?

m: yeah, i just have to do the cans, no bottles

i: lol, i never woulda thought of that

all about the angle

2005-06-04T12:45:00.000-07:00

Photos like this look better when the model is looking at the camera through the reflective surface rather than directly at the lens. Notice how in the first photo both angles look focused but in the second one the reflected image seems distracted.

Lactose is the predominant sugar of milk

2005-05-25T07:52:00.000-07:00

"Lactose intolerance is the inability to digest significant amounts of lactose, the predominant sugar of milk. This inability results from a shortage of the enzyme lactase, which is normally produced by the cells that line the small intestine. Lactase breaks down milk sugar into simpler forms that can then be absorbed into the bloodstream. When there is not enough lactase to digest the amount of lactose consumed, the results, although not usually dangerous, may be very distressing. While not all persons deficient in lactase have symptoms, those who do are considered to be lactose intolerant."

I really miss Carl's Jr.

2005-05-23T13:49:00.000-07:00

Western Bacon Cheeseburgers were always my favorite but this new Spicy BBQ Burger looks pretty good too.

Word on the street is Carl's Jr. had so many hits on their website over this they had to launch a separate site just for Spicy Paris.

On a personal note

2005-05-22T07:42:00.000-07:00

Last day of my Pursuit of Excellence.

I've always considered myself an introvert. Now I see being introverted is an ineffective behavior for me to realize my purpose.

I'm really an extrovert. I need creativity and attention.

I am committed to exploring ways to meet my driving needs in support of my purpose of becoming a whole person.
