Re: [Biofuel] Fw: Allah or Jesus?

2006-11-22 Thread Alon
 Dear group
And strong believers,
to my humble point of view, the most amusing approach to resolve, the conflict 
between the two large religions the hopefull christianity, and rather extreme 
Islam, also, to gain some more serene approach towards life here - 
one must refer to the sorce of these religions, or at list two steps back in 
the riligion dynasty, to the hebrew bibel - or king james version any way..

and I quote from the book of genesis: (2:15) "And the LORD God took the man, 
and put him into the garden of Eden to dress it and to keep it.

now am I dreaming?!  - or is this a kind of a biblical way of saying that 
man is here mainly to 'dress gods salat?'

- before criticising me for this most imaginative perspective, bear in mind 
pleas, that untill after the flood when noah came out of his ark, man was 
forbidden to eat meat and solely fed on the 'froot and grass of the earth' - 
also bear in mined, that there is a lot of description of vegeterian food 
sources that where in the garden of Eden as well.

So in conclusion - I can say surely,  that a man,  how take his role, in this 
world, to heavily, may ponder upon this verse, and gain a rather, more, sound 
perspective, on existentialism.
yours,
Alon.

[Biofuel] Methanol Price Increase?

2006-11-22 Thread Thomas Kelly
Hello All,
 Did I miss the news?
 Has there been a significant increase in the price of methanol recently?

 I just got the bill for a delivery (two  55gal barrels). Previous price ( 
July): $2.60 USD/gallon; current bill: $3.54 USD/ gallon    35% increase in 
a few months?
 I'll call my supplier in a little while ...  maybe it's just a billing 
mistake. I am just hoping someone has some info.  

   Thanks,
 Tom___

Think methanol price is strongly dependant of natural gas price which is linked 
to fuel prices.

Tom,
Yep, you missed it, I used to think it followed natural gas prices too but that 
is not the case unless there is a significant market lag that causes the price 
to lag about a year behind. Wellhead Gas prices have gone down considerably 
since last year. Someone mentioned that there was a force majure  (sp) at two 
plants in India this fall. Tsunami effects?? guessing on this one.

Conspiracy theories aside. It may have to do with our free market again since 
Biodiesel production has taken a sharp increase in the US the additional demand 
on the market could be the cause. this is often the case with finite supplies 
introduced to new markets overnight - Prices move up.

Re: [Biofuel] Methanol Price Increase?

2006-11-22 Thread Thomas Kelly
Jim,
 Thanks for the reply. 
 I originally got into making biodiesel for environmental reasons. However, 
I've experienced considerable $ savings .  first on fuel for a car and now 
heating my house/water. I'm spoiled. I have a good, reliable fuel that is much 
more environmentally friendly than fossil fuels and have been making it at a 
fraction of the price of fossil fuels. 
 When I started making BD I said:  "If it (BD) was available around here I 
wouldn't have to make it  ... I'd buy it". Maybe increased demand is driving 
the price of methanol up. That might be a good thing    if it is a sign 
that biodiesel production is increasing nationally/worldwide     if we 
could include increases in ethanol use, solar & wind generated power, the 
payoff in terms of environment, climate, health, and world "harmony" may well 
be worth the price we pay for energy.
 I'll continue to make my own BD even if the price of production goes up. 
I've developed a bad case of distrust for oil companies.
 Best to you,
 Tom

Jim,
Thanks again. The site you provided answered the question about price
Quite a spike.
 Looks like a combination of demand and decreased production.

 "Continued strong demand and a large number of competitor outages 
caused an unprecedented shortage of methanol supply in the third quarter 
that drove spot methanol prices to record highs," said Bruce Aitken, CEO of 
key supplier Methanex."

Re: [Biofuel] Methanol Price Increase?

2006-11-22 Thread VAN DER SLUYS, WILLIAM
It is my understanding that most of the methanol available in the US is 
produced from ethylene (petroleum).  I'm not surprising that methanol prices 
have gone up, but, I am surprised it took so long for them to do so.  They 
probably will come back down in the near future since oil prices have moderated.

The other way to make methanol is from wood, by way of pyrolysis (destructive 
heating which also produces charcoal) but this is not commonly done since it is 
more difficult and costly.

Re: [Biofuel] Methanol Price Increase?

2006-11-22 Thread Thomas Kelly
William,
 Actually methanol prices have not been directly linked to oil prices. 
My understanding is that natural gas is the normal feedstock for methanol 
production. Of course, oil prices do effect distribution costs.
 I had an interesting discussion with the sales rep. from the chemical 
supply company I've been getting my methanol from.
 He mentioned seasonal fluctuations that are fairly predictable  ex 
Here in the US, winter windshield wash contains methanol to prevent 
freezing. Increased demand in winter causes prices to go up a bit.
 He said that the current spike in price was related to a dramatic drop 
in production by a manufacturing plant in the Caribbean and two in India. 
He said that methanol prices have always been volatile; spikes in price are 
not uncommon. He could not say when prices will drop back to more normal 
prices, but seemed quite sure that this was a temporary increase.

 James Phelps provided a valuable link  www.purchasing.com that has 
price info with explanation for methanol and other items.

 I'm not surprising that methanol prices have gone up, but, I am surprised it 
took so long for them to do so.  They probably will come back down in the near 
future since oil prices have moderated.

The other way to make methanol is from wood, by way of pyrolysis (destructive 
heating which also produces charcoal) but this is not commonly done since it is 
more difficult and costly.

[Biofuel] FLU SHOTS CONTAIN MERCURY

2006-11-22 Thread Mike Weaver
*SURVEY OF THE WEEK:*
*FLU SHOTS CONTAIN MERCURY*
A survey of over 9,000 Americans found that an overwhelming majority of 
people had no idea their flu shots contain mercury. "More than 75 
percent of Americans feel a mercury-containing flu shot should not be 
given to a pregnant woman or a child," said Lisa Handley, a founding 
parent of PutChildrenFirst.org 
, 
the group that organized the survey. Handley's own son, Jamison, had an 
adverse reaction to a flu shot containing mercury in 2003. "I know 
firsthand how life-changing a flu shot with mercury can be, since our 
son began his regression into autism after his flu shot." In 1999, 
government agencies called for the removal of Thimerosal, the 
mercury-based preservative in most vaccines. Then, in 2001, the American 
Academy of Pediatrics stated that, "mercury in all of its forms is toxic 
to the fetus and children." Despite these actions, 90 percent of this 
season's flu vaccines still contain Thimerosal.
