    smoking Woods for smoking

    I've added chunks of manzanita to my smoker several times, works well. In flavor, closer to oak than the fruit woods I usually use. I have a friend who frequently grills/hot smokes chickens over a fire of manzanita burls. Tastes great and no problems with it burning too hot, but I suppose you...

    NuMex Heritage chiles

    Did anyone end up growing the Heritage Big Jims? How were they? Any news on Heritage Sandias for this coming year?

    preservation What vinegar do you recommend?

    I haven't made it up there yet myself, but how is Art's Jamaican Market in Oakland? Do they carry enough peppers? http://www.yelp.com/biz/arts-jamaican-market-oakland

    DICKT POLL GLOBAL WARMING

    And who precisely would that be? Actual accredited scientists, not door-to-door college kids canvassing for Greenpeace. Actually, climate scientists have looked closely at a host of other factors that could contribute to the observed climate change to date. Sunspots alone aren't enough to do...

    And with that, my apologies to anyone's whose feelings were hurt in this thread. Like I said, "views" are fine but if you're going to throw around accusations like pseudoscience, you should have your very basic facts right.

    Great points. I was thinking a deisel/electric freight train, but I was just kidding around. Then I looked up the Hector Mine quake to make sure I had the date right and OMG! there was a train passing by the epicenter when it struck! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1999_Hector_Mine_earthquake...

    DICKT POLL GLOBAL WARMING

    The most massive planet is Jupiter. It has a mass of 1.90*10^27 kg (that's one followed by 27 zeroes) and at its closest, it is 3.9516 AU = 591,000,000 km away from the Earth. The closest planet (obviously the moon is closer, and can affect tides etc...but it doesn't seem to trigger...

    "Views" are fine, but facts are facts and if you can call what professional scientists do pseudoscience, you reap what you sow. And the fact is, the planets have far less gravitational influence on the Earth's surface than do freight trains (numbers available upon request). So you might want...

    Earthquakes and Disasters predictions

    Apparently, I too have the gift of predicting earthquakes. At 9:40 am Pacific time March 3, I posted: "in my neighborhood (right by the San Andreas fault) I can predict there will be several earthquakes each month, and always be right, it's just that they're usually very small."...

    DICKT POLL GLOBAL WARMING

    Fascinating, but are these "pulls" gravity or some other force? Where do you publish your predictions beforehand? Have you ever predicted something that didn't happen? How do you determine if an earthquake was big enough to be the one you predicted? I ask that because in my neighborhood...

    DICKT POLL GLOBAL WARMING

    Fascinating. Are these "pulls" via gravitation, or some other force? And how do the resultant volcanic eruptions contribute to global warming, if burning fossil fuels releases ~300x as much CO2 each year as all volcanic activity combined, and volcanoes also release sulfates and other aerosols...

    DICKT POLL GLOBAL WARMING

    Really, stars several light years away can shift tectonic plates on Earth? It's clear who's doing the pseudoscience here. Also, I let it pass last time because your statement that plants are net emitters of carbon was even more laughably wrong, but you are dead wrong on the relative amount of...

    DICKT POLL GLOBAL WARMING

    oh dear lord. Yes, plants emit some co2 in respiration, burning organic molecules they previously synthesized by absorbing co2. But many more molecules, also made by absorbing co2, are not burned. That's how plants grow. Thus the net effect is absorption, not emission. Except for a few...

    Plants as net emitters of carbon? Fascinating, tell me more about how your world works.
