I was sent this link via email from KentBook, who used to hang out here. In honor of the season, I share this with you:
It is beautiful.

Oh and – 3rd!

How come KentBook don’t ever come around, him and BeachBum, I see him commenting on HotAir sometimes. Unsocialbles, I tell ya.
-
The Bonnie and Clyde movie is not as good as the original, but there is part two yet.
-
Yeah, I see Kentbook hanging out and fighting the Libs at burkablog, too.

Good morning Hamsters. Woo-hoo, 46 all night, feeble dribbles, and we shall break 50 today so the soothsayers proclaim.
Well, the Aussies recently kicked out the liberal moonbats who believed the MMGW garbage and instituted the infamous carbon tax that was choking the national economy. You knew it was going to be disastrous when the Green Party got a foothold in a coalition government a while ago and sold their rot to Parliament. The new PM Tony Abbott is a conservative who is repairing the wreckage the moonbats caused. There is a certain advantage to a parliamentary system in that a vote of no confidence in the government can spur new elections. Don’t have to suffer until the next election cycle to clean house.
But of course coalitions can sometimes make mischief in such a system. -
Every day, The Federal Register, the daily journal of the United States government, publishes on its website and in a thick booklet around 100 executive orders, proclamations, proposed rule changes and other government notices that federal agencies are mandated to submit for public inspection.
So far, so good.
It turns out, however, that the Federal Register employees who take in the information for publication from across the government still receive some of it on the 3.5-inch plastic storage squares that have become all but obsolete in the United States. -
#8, that’s hilarious! Check your @hamous.org email if you still have that one for a related funny.

#9 It works, but I won’t see it til I get home.
Meanwhile…back on planet Jabberwockey, Domino Sugar has defied the established laws of Organic Chemistry and produced carbon free sugar. -
Awesome! So without the C I’m left with only the H and the O, which means I can eat as much of their sugar as I want without getting fat since it will pretty much be just like eating water, right? Better living through chemistry, that’s my motto.

If only! I am surprised a sugar company is so concerned about not generating any CO2 while growing sugar cane. I’d be even more surprised if any econut would be buying sugar, and surely no one else would be attracted to the “CarbonFree” label. Sierra Club members don’t buy toilet paper or refined sugar. -
Question for the local chemistry experts:
What is the difference between a carbohydrate and a hydrocarbon? Is the latter derived from the former over pressure temperature and time? -
How come KentBook don’t ever come around, him and BeachBum
I blame Dave.

#10 Hamous
LOL Yikes. Transmutation of elements without nuclear processes. Their sugar is miraculously made of silicon chains and H and O. That’s why it’s so delightfully crunchy. Kinda like crushed glass. No calories–goes right on through.
Sorry folks, I can’t go on. 🙂 -
What is the difference between a carbohydrate and a hydrocarbon
It’s all in the name. Hydrocarbon molecules contain hydrogen and carbon. Carbohydrates contain carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen.
-
Carbohydrate is a molecule with C, H, & O. Found in plants (sugars, starches, etc.). Many are edible/food sources.
Hydrocarbons are molecules that contain only H & C. Found in the ground. Some are non-toxic; most are.
Chemistry-boy can go into more detail. -
So carbohydrates contain oxygen and hydrocarbons do not. Some believe that hydrocarbons are derived from carbohydrates and the mechanism is microbial action on the plant material in a low or zero oxygen environment. I guess the microbes are surviving by extracting the oxygen from the carbohydrate and leaving the hydrocarbon as a by product or as a waste product?
-
Some hydrocarbons are produced by biological activity. An example would be the flatulation you experienced after consuming your “chili” con frijoles. Your body produced some methane from the carbohydrates in the beans. Most hydrocarbons come from really deep, skinny holes in the ground. They are then combined, split, or otherwise messed with to make everything from diesel fuel to plastic milk jugs.
-
plastic milk jugs.
Ya mean like those kind you can see in Silicone Valley that seem to defy gravity?
-
Man-made crude oil (without the biological activity).

No, you philistine prevert.
What you’re describing are bolt-ons. -
Just what we need – another cockroach that’s harder to kill.
Kinda like some politicians. -
*VERY* well done, US Air Force.
On another christmas note, I had not realized Beethovan had written his own “Hallelujah Chorus”.Ironically, in its original German text, Beethoven’s “Hallelujah Chorus” doesn’t actually contain the word hallelujah. So I provide, immediately below, the English text that is commonly sung to his music. But then I supply the German text and a more or less literal translation of it.
Hallelujah! unto God’s Almighty Son.
Praise the Lord, ye bright angelic choirs,
in holy songs of joy.
Man, proclaim his grace and glory!
Hallelujah! unto God’s Almighty Son.
Praise the Lord in holy songs of joy!
Welten singen Dank und Ehre
dem erhab’nen Gottessohn.
Preiset ihn, ihr Engelchöre,
laut im heil’gen Jubelton
Worlds sing thanks and honor
to the exalted Son of God.
Praise him, ye choirs of angels,
loudly, in holy tones of jubilation.(Bold mine)

#22 Dooooodski: Interesting article. Using the sun to super heat the water making high pressure steam seems like a good way to minimize the energy inputs, thereby maximizing output. If one is cracking and reassembling the carbohydrates to form a desired hydrocarbon, one could conceivably produce 120 octane gasoline in an efficient manner. If you can burn 120 octane gasoline the compression ratio can get increased to 11 or 12 to one without detonation, this will enable smaller engines to produce more power more efficiently. Perhaps GTOTracker could join in here.
Your link was published in 2004. I would be interested to see an updated report of the existing plants. -
I went to mass this morning, almost forgot that it was a holy day of obligation. The school kids were there. It’s so cute to see them, and the teachers keep moving problem kids closer to them in the pews.
Oh, to be young again!
And we had a visiting priest celebrate the mass; he has a rather cute way of talking about Adam and Eve in the garden. He describes how Adam named all the animals, and then tells God he’s still lonely: “None of these animals are going to cut it, God.” So God creates Eve, and Adam’s response was “Now, that’s what I’m talking about!”
I hope I have his sense of humor when I get to be his age. He’s been a priest for 51 years. -
Putin understand the need to control the media if you want to be a dictator.
Obama only wishes…. -
almost forgot that it was a holy day of obligation
Since Dec. 8 fell on a Sunday, if you went to Mass yesterday you satisfied your obligation.

Did that bellowing cow Jessica Farrar have her Abortion Holiday Party on the Feast of the Immaculate Conception this year?
-
Jessica Farrar sounds to me to be about as faithful a Catholic as Nanzi “Blinkie” Pelousi or Terd Kennedy. Fraud comes a whole lot closer to the truth.

#26 Bones,
Yeah, been following it loosely for a few years now and I haven’t heard much at all lately. I know part of the original roadblock in Carthage was the stink from the plant as they were using turkey guts, but don’t know how they’ve fared since then. -
Dooode:
I think there was a youtube video posted here, with a Japanese guy and a demonstrator vessel from which he extracted hydrocarbons from garbage using heat. -
As far as “joyful music” goes, the Michael Buble channel on Pandora works real well today. Ifn you do not like swing or big band music you won’t like it much.
-
Nope, our priest explained yesterday that Sunday is reserved for Jesus, so Monday became the day to recognize the Solemnity of the Immaculate Conception. So I went to mass today.
Mary’s kinda special to me. I talk to her a lot. -
Oh, and when I realized that I share a birthday with Mary, I was very happy. How cool is it, to share a birthday celebration with your personal patroness saint?
-

Well, you can’t go wrong by going to Mass today (or any day) but the precept to attend Mass today is abrogated.

States’ convention for Constitutional Amendments?
The first amendment I’d like to see discussed – absolutely NO exemptions for Congress or any federal employee or appointee when it comes to living under the laws that are passed. -
Today is Rear Admiral Grace Hopper’s birthday, she’d have been 107, I saw this on the Google Doodle.
For you folks in Rio Linda she was the first person to “de-bug” a computer, AND she did it literally! She removed a moth from a relay. -
Sing it Merle!

Gradma’s supposed to get run over by a reindeer, not the reverse. And the reindeer’s not supposed to run down some young wimmin.
They need to gather their collective caca over there. -
Since the Catholics celebrated the Feast of the Immaculate Conception yesterday and the Orthdox celebrate the Conception today, I thought I would point out one of those relatively small (or big depending upon your point of view) differences between the two. In a nutshell, the differences hinge on a different view of original sin.
As already said, original sin weighs on the descendants of Adam and of Eve as corruption, and not as legal responsibility or moral stain. The sin brought hereditary corruption and not a hereditary legal responsibility or a hereditary moral stain. In consequence the All-holy participated in the hereditary corruption, like all mankind, but with her love for God and her purity — understood as an imperturbable and unhesitating dedication of her love to God alone — she succeeded, through the grace of God, in sanctifying herself in Christ and making herself worthy of becoming the house of God, as God wants all us human beings to become. Therefore we in the Orthodox Church honor the All-holy Mother of God above all the saints, albeit we don’t accept the new dogma of her Immaculate Conception. The non-acceptance of this dogma in no way diminishes our love and veneration of the All-holy Mother of God.
We can refer to Mary as “immaculate” in the sense that her obedience to God was so marked that she may rightly be declared as pure as any sinner might be. Her holiness has never been matched or exceeded. However, we do not believe in the Immaculate Conception as understood in Catholicism. We do not believe that she had to be herself conceived free from any taint of original sin. Our objection, substantially has to do with St. Augustine’s characterisation of original sin. As Bishop Kallistos has observed (also John Meyendorff and other Orthodox theologians) … if we believed what St. Augustine taught about original sin then the Immaculate Conception would be a logical outworking of that in terms of Mary’s holiness and obedience. However, since we do not believe that original sin is transmitted sexually, conception is irrelevant to this issue.

I emailed my doc’s office, letting them know I was praying for them through all of this Obamacare insanity. I got a response back: “It has been a nightmare.”
I think the brevity of the response is more frightening than anything she could have said. -

And all these years I thought it was just about Filioque ; – ) I think my point of view falls into the “relatively small” category. -
And all these years I thought it was just about Filioque
Well, that and the whole cat juggling thing.

Did you know there’s such a thing as phobophobia? A morbid fear of developing a phobia. If you suffer from that would you collapse in on yourself like a black hole?
-
The Pope juggles cats! Why I never knew.

Navin R. Johnson was the Pope???

Stop! Stop! Stop it! Stop it! Stop it! Good. Father, could there be a God that would let this happen?

Big, subhuman thug decides to play Knockout…in a crowded mall.
He picks on a girl half his size who brings him down and starts wailing on him.
Big dude comes running to help and lands his shoe right in the thug’s face. I
think he at least has a broken nose. What a shame.
Quickly delivered rough justice.
Do not go here if you are offended by profanity, F-words, etc. -
#54 – not nearly ENOUGH justice IMHO………………..
-
#55 Whiskerfish: Definitely not enough; he is likely to recover from those little love pats in an hour or so. I am thinking permanent paralysis from the neck down.

The sixth annual new years day cook-off will be taking place at el rancho canadiana on … wait for it…. new years day. Stayed tuned for details, watch for details through our host.

Breaking news. John Cornyn has a challenger. Cecil Austin ( I think- don’t hear so well) congressman. Heard it on 740 during news.

#58 TexCan
Has it been a year since you had a hoopla at your place? Where did 2013 go? -
If someone tried a knockout stunt on Mrs. TexMo, she would unleash just like that woman did…. if she still had her wits and was not seeing stars.
-
I hear that Steve Stockman may run for the Senate, presumably Cornyn’s seat.

Texpat #54;
Do not go here if you are offended by profanity, F-words, etc.
My wife notwithstanding I do get offended by swearing and the f-bomb unless it’s news worthy. And THAT, texpat, was very newsworthy.
