does any one know what icp is and how is it different from hplc? does anyone know what icp is and how it is different from ms/gc and hplc?? elementary instrumental analysis 101 : icp = inductively coupled plasma (emission spectroscopy) icp is a method of analysing the elemental makeup of a sample by heating the sample in a radio frequncy argon plasma arc (around 10000k) and measuring the emmission spectrum. most icp's are capable of simultaneous analysis of a number of elements. most usually icps are used for the analysis of metals, although they are capable of analysing for a number of metalloid and non-metal species. gc/ms = gas chromatography / mass spectrometry gc/ms is a method of analysing complex mixtures by first separating them into their component molecules (by gas chromatography, in which the sample is injected onto a column containing a stationary phase of, for example, a carbowax and the column is heated while a flow of gas - normally helium - passes through the column and carries the sample forward. different compounds desorb off the column at different temperatures and flow rates). the mass spectrometer then acts as the "detector" for the gc - measuring the amount of any given component and determining its structure by mass fragment analysis. gc/ms is one of the most powerful methods for examining complex mixtures of organic compounds. it is capable of determining some materials in the parts-per-billion ppb range. hplc = high performance liquid chromatography just as gc (gas chromatography) operates in the gas phase, hplc operates in the liquid phase. hplc is an amazingly adaptable analysis technique which can examine mixtures of both organic and inorganic compounds by injecting the sample mixture onto a column which is then eluted from the column using a mixture of solvents (of varying composition). the column/solvents are chosen so that the material under study is separated by being attracted to the column packing to varying degrees. hplc can be coupled to ms or icp. | 1 |

are us soldiers really not allowed to have porn in iraq? that's what someone told me, but i find that hard to believe. not even playboy? during the 60s, playboy was kept in business largely because of american gis in vietnam. i can't imagine it's any different today! us soldiers are not allowed to have pornography for three reasons. 1) it is considered offensive to some female soldiers . 2) it is offensive to islam . 3) it may cause soldiers to commit sexual assault . do you see the kind of crap, american soldiers have to deal with ? the army has become a "politically correct" organization. next they'll be telling us to hold hands and sing camp songs . sometimes it truly sucks to be a soldier .!!!! | 9 |

is this funny? a 7 year old and a 4 year old are upstairs in their bedroom. "you know what?", says the 7 year old, "i think it's about time we started swearing." the 4 year old nods his head in approval. "when we go downstairs for breakfast, i'll swear first, then you swear after me, ok?" the 4 year old agrees with enthusiasm. the mother walks into the kitchen and asks the 7 year old what he wants for breakfast. "oh, sh*t mum, i guess i'll have some coco pops". whack!! he flies out of his chair, tumbles across the kitchen floor, gets up, and runs upstairs crying his eyes out. she looks at the 4 year old and asks with a stern voice, "and what do you want for breakfast, young man?! "i don't know," he blubbers, "but you can bet your f***ing life it won't be coco pops! that is dam funny, lmao..to funny..thanks for the laugh..i'll pass it on at work.. | 7 |
why do you think the american youth is so apathetic? especially when this last election proved that is the youth come out in numbers, they can have their voice be heard. why are we ok with apathy and ignorance? :/ well, i'm pleased that did their part to help sweep the neocons out of their absolute power position. no doubt if there had been a military draft hanging over their heads they'd be a bit more pro active but hey! the youth turn out was the biggest in 20 years so yay for the kids! now if only they'd get really active in saving the planet they're gonna inherit. it's the most important issue they face. | 9 |

why so many religious people try to tell others how to live? didn't your prophet or whatever tell you to look the beam in thine own eye before you look at the mote in your neighbor's? what's with all this talk about sin? let other people live their lives, love who they want to love, be happy the way they want to be happy! shut up and find your own happiness, you unsufferable nimrods! i'm an atheist myself, but in defense of religious people, there are some wonderful, well-meaning, loving religious people out there. then there are some jerks. it's the same, in my experience, with any group of people. there are always going to be some loudmouths who want to convince you to be like them. but don't let them make you think that they're all like that. they aren't. | 0 |

referees have done more than enough mistakes n have cost many teams.misuse redcard,handball on18.em i right? i think fifa should develop a system of dealing with this issue. i suggest the refferees should be paid accordin' the accuracy of the game. tennis has used high-tech system to insure judgement is as accurate as possible. in rugby, referees use "video referee". i reckon, fifa should use other 'assistants' for the referees. with the technology today, there's no reason why the whole thing can't be improved. by the way, what's that thing on the referees' ears?? are they communication tools?? | 5 |

how are the officals used today in ice hockey? the nhl has four on ice officials, two referees and two linesmen, as well as a host of off ice officials (two goal judges, video replay judge, time keeper, etc). the referees are responsible for supervising all other officials. they may consult with the other officials, but they're decision is final. linesmen handle face offs (they drop the puck), call offsides and penalties. they tell the referees what they saw and the ref makes the decision on the linesmen's call. | 5 |

does anyone know what this is....? on entering the woolworths web site,after logging in, and then ordering, the following came up ; 'fredhopperprocessortest' unset came up, does anyone have an idea as to what it is, cause i then realised that i was no longer logged in and couldn't do any ordering. it seems that i'm having problems throughout, my mother tried to get in to 'gala bingo' she logged in put money in her account ready to play but couldn't, the page comes up but no images are visable, she can't get in to the play rooms. has anyone else had the same or similar difficulties?? my mum is driving me round the bend as a couple of her friends are avid bingo players playing at gala bingo and she can't do it, so if anyone out there can help save my ears from being bashed every day and stop my mind from being driven round in circles i would really appreciate your voice, help, and opinions. from a desperate son with a continuous headache of a mother, please, please, please, please did you install a new antispyware? try disabling any antispyware or pop up blockers you may have. also try another browser. if you have been using ie, try using enigma browser. | 4 |

how do i know if my printer is an ink jet printer? i have a lexmark x125, it's a scanner, printer, copier, and a fax all in one. i want to print some t-shirt iron ons and you have to have an ink jet printer. i feel dumb asking this question. most multifunction devices use ink-jet printers for the printing components. if the ink you buy is in a cartridge that slides into a carriage that is attached to a bar, and this unit slides back and forth over the paper, you've got an inkjet printer. yours, for sure, is an inkjet printer. i ascertained this info by going to lexmark.com then clicking on "technical support" then clicking on the model, and found enough references to ink-jet that i am sure the lexmark x125 uses an ink-jet to print and should take "ink-jet" papers of most types including iron on. | 4 |

how could drinking water be obtained from seawater? to create water from saltwater, you could - boil or evaporate the saltwater and collect the vapor using a distilling contraption (e.g., put a plastic bag over the pot and catch the condensate)--this is the most practical way - use osmosis to separate the water from the saltwater, but this would be extremely expensive and require a lot of membranes/filters a heat source could be the sun, a fire, an energy plant, or anything else producing heat (geothermal, coal, nuclear, etc.). more heat produces desalinated water faster. to create more water faster, use a bigger heat source. | 1 |

do you think that german citizens during wwii thought their government was wrong? were they blinded by patriotism and innundated by lies and propaganda? did they know all the evils of their government? well, you have to realize that after wwi, germany was plunged into a deep depression. both economy and morale were virtually nonexistent, and they were deeply humiliated by their loss. but then along came hitler, who was, by all accounts, an excellent politician. he was a magnanimous speaker who told the german people exactly what they wanted to hear. he raised both morale using a sense of nationalism, and the economy, using the "common man" (i think he focused mostly on farmers). even the anti-semitism made sense at the time; they felt like they needed someone to blame for all their hardship, and hitler gave them one. it was in this fashion that he managed to seize power; germany was putty at his feet. there were obviously a select few who did find something wrong with the regime, but these were exceptions, rather than the rule. point is, hitler knew what the hell he was doing. he was brilliant, plain and simple. of course, he was also very wrong in the head. he had skewed ideals regarding other races, he wildly misinterpreted nietzsche (although to be fair, just about everyone does), and his intentions were nothing short of evil. but he was brilliant. taking all these factors into account, it kind of makes you wonder how anyone in germany could think their government was wrong. | 9 |

belgians has proposed serving low-alcohol (2.5 per cent) suds in elementary schools. possible aspects? it's healthier than sugary sodas and lemonade, they claim. limburg beer friends pitched the idea to about 30 schools, and 2 agreed to a trial pour at lunch-time. ages 6 to 12. let's see how their grades hold up. oh my god how absolutely discusting to serve any level of alcohol to a child of that age. do we not have enough alcoholics in this world without training our children to become one?? it is absolutely ridiculous that anyone would actually agree to doing a trial of this. what happened to good old fashioned water or milk?? these are both very healthy alternatives to sugary drinks such as cola and do not mean putting drugs( because thats what alcohol is, a drug) into a childs system. | 3 |

can roddick win another major? he can, but it will be tough. more and more players are getting a read on his serve, and the rest of his game has not really improved as it should have. while his forehand has always been a weapon, the backhand still lags way behind. his movement still looks a little clumsy, and his volley is on the level of most clay-courters. as hard as he hits, he could use the angles better (like safin for example). a guy with that kind of firepower should not be scrambling so much. if he manages to make these improvements, he could be back in the running. that said, he's been around a while now and old habits die hard. he'll also need a bit of luck while federer's still at the top. nadal could also prove to be tough on hardcourts too. | 5 |

what if you think you found the perfect guy but he isn't ready for a serious relationship, how long do u wait? ask yourself, how long are you willing to wait? and is that either with or without any assurance? because in a relationship, there is a so-called give and take and it applies on some instances such as yours. you cant make yourself wait that long and then it will all be in vain.how about considering your own happiness? go out and make yourself available to others, after all if the perfect guy is really meant for you, love will find a way so goes the cliché. | 8 |

why do you suppose japanese cars are better than american made cars? depends on what you mean by "japanese". many (most) "japanese" cars you see these days on the streets of the u.s. are actually made in the u.s.a. in factories governed by japanese management practics. if you mean "why do japanese companies seem to make better cars?" the answer is management style. its got various names, tqm (total quality management), or "just in time inventory." but the answer is that the japanese are always looking at ways of improving not only what they make but how they make it. anyone at a toyota plant, anyone, can shut down the entire assembly line if they see a problem. every employee is solicited for their thoughts on how the cars and the manufacturing of them can be improved. management and labor are very well intergrated. workers are rotated through jobs, you might spend a few months working on installing the brakes, then a few months painting, then a few months working on upholstery. each worker knows the entire car. operations like ford and g.m. much less so. it may have gotten a little better but the existing union structures have created an advaserial relationship between labor and management. no flexibility at all, little intergration. so things don't improve. "i'm a master machinist iii, you can't ask me to paint, its not in my job description!" and on the management side, nobody trusts or respects the workers to ever give them the level of input that the japanese manufacturers do. its a cultural thing. | 6 |
if exersize in the am is good, then why not skip breakfast??? so i agree cardio in the morning on an empty stomach will burn alot of fat... so why would it not be a good idea to skip breakfast on the days you cant make it to the gym?? you will be running off stored fat, right???? but eating breakfast is so highly looked upon. its the same concept isnt it??? it is and established fact that cardio in the morning on an empty stomack increases your fat burning expodentially. however approx 30 minutes after your session is over your body will begin to go after your muscles for energy rather than your fat cell or carbs and you will be in effect working against your goal. the more muscle your have the more calories you burn so you must have breakfast after your morning workout. so keep doing your cardio on an empty stomach but be sure to have at the minimul a protien shake once your are done. plus, as the other guy mentioned eating every few hours increases your motabolism keeping your internal furnace running on high. | 2 |
can anyone suggest health insurance covering me (32 yr), wife (27 yr), my father (69 yr), mother (64 yr)? any medical insurances covering both prehospitalization and post hospitalization charges and how long is the lag period for me to actually get the insurance once i insure my family first off, ask yourself what needs do you have? lets take each case, first your father is over 65, and he may or may not qualify to parts a & b & d of medicare, check into this first. then depending where your father lives, (presuming he has medicare) he can purchase a medicare supplement plan, or the more popular hmo medicare plans. i would suggest you contact medicare to find out if your father qualifies for medicare, and also ask what is available in your state for his options. i could go on for hours about the differences on hmo and supplemental plans- if you have more questions contact me. next, mom is 64, so when she turns 65 she will also be eligible for medicare "again check with medicare" so her needs will be different than yours- it will depend on her health needs, what dr. she sees as far as the policy type i would recommend. last you and your wife, both of you are in the child bearing years- so if you are thinking of having children in the future please make sure the policy you pick will cover maternity, many new plans do not cover maternity. when looking for a health insurance plan, lots to consider: a. is your a dr. a provider "ppo or hmo" this will dictate the type of plan to pick from. b. do you want to prepay for services and pay a copay for services? (hmo, which are normally higher premiums, because a portion of your premiums is paid directly to the dr. you pick) c. would you willing to pay more out of pocket with copays, and co-insurance (normally a percentage of the negotiated rate varies between 10-40%) in order to select a wider number of physicians (ppo), most ppo have thousands of drs to pick from. d. premiums, premiums, premiums, set your monthly or yearly budget for healthcare costs. e. gaining popularity in the health scene is "health strategies", normally this means hra or hsa plans, or what i call a self funded type of plan, coupled with a high deductible. with this type of strategy the consumer "you" act like a health insurance company- you see health insurance companies re-insure, this means they take out policies with lloyds of london and others to limit liability. with this type of plan, you take on a high deductible and pay out toward this deductible during the year, put money aside "ex. hsa non taxable in most states" to save for your deductilble, health insurance co's call this "reserves" most have billions in reserves, so it is not hard to figure that the odds are on your side that you will "accumulate money".. remember the health insurance corps are not into it to loose money. smart consumers throughout america are switching to consumer driven type plans, as hsa eligible plans. i would suggest going to my website www.hsainside.com or calling me direct for any questions. rudy rivas, president www.hsainside.com | 6 |

why doesn't colin powell talk about the bush administration? no one has heard anything from colin after he was kicked out. i think that he's been blackmailed or threatened or maybe even paid off. too bad he doesn't dish some secrets. your right about this. i did have some reservations about colin powell, but i think after bush fired him to get the real puppet with condi, what is there really to say. colin really wanted to work on the peace of the middle east, and george bush wasn't having any of that. i am still in awe of the enron criminals trying to use the we haven't done anything wrong rhetoric as a defense for stealing. this could be what is to come from this administration, since they use the same defense. i am hopeful for indictments starting in january of this year. | 9 |

sore and in pain? (women only)? most of my friends envy me but i think i need help, any advice? my man is larger than most in the reproductive area (i am a small woman), and during intercourse the pain is quite intense. i am used to the pain by now because i guess of the pleasure pain combination. but i am usually very sore after. most sites i've read up said to lube up because friction is usally the reason for soreness and pain. but i dont have a problem in that department. i am sure there are women out there in this tight situation. anyone with advice please help? think you should go see your doctor,i know what most of the sites say but your right that does not always solve the problem,my friend had exactly the same problem and unfortunately like you she was little and her boyfriend was very large, she ended up in hospital with internal injuries,no ones fault and not due to rough play or anything like that ,she just simply was too small for him, please seek medical advice ,she had an operation in the end ,im not saying that will happen in your case but your doctor will be able to give you the best advice possible, so do go see him , | 2 |

why do americans care about everyone else before be think about ourself? i don't get it, i click the yahoo homepage link and i always see illegal immigrants protest, darfar is becoming worst, what about the voting rights of iraqis, in these huge overblown out pictures in huge fonts and links. but things about exhaust of social sacristy, iran enriching uranium, the downfall of american schools, the fatting of americans and the death of our soldiers and how it has almost reached 2500 hundred dead get put in small little fonts where it says more news. i mean are we important enough to make our own headlines, i mean before america can help the world we still have 49% of young african-americans with aids, growing debts, and rising terrorism. in short how come we spend more energy on the welfare of mexican people who came here looking for a better life illegally, before we look at our own people who face more and more issues as the days past? i don't think its americans. its our government. i'd say the majority of americans want to take care of our own. but our government seems to have other ideas. should we say they are un-american? i feel ya. | 9 |

would you favor an amendment for nota? in too many elections (like the one just passed) i find myself looking at ballots where i don't want any of the candidates elected. but there's no way to vote, "none of the above" (nota) would you favor a constitutional amendment that all elections include a choice of nota, and that if nota won an election, a new elections would be held in which none of the candidates in the prior election could run? we would end up tying up the political process for years on one election alone. it would be better to level the playing field and put caps on money spent on an election. if that is done then there would be an increase of people able to run therefore more quality in candidates. big corporations would no longer have control of politics. | 9 |

why do black people typically sway democratic? because the democrats are the most prejudice and they demean any successful blacks. they maintain their power over blacks by constantly telling them they are victims and cannot possibly live without government handouts. they are covertly keeping blacks suppressed and living with a sense of poor self-esteem. it is sad that they do not rejoice in the wonderful black politicians the republicans have put into office. their own black politicians continue to make them feel like victims. republicans believe that all races have the brains and ability to make good lives for themselves, their families and their country. the dems have brainwashed too many of them and it will continue until they quit believing these self-defeating lies they are being fed. funny how former kkk leaders still infiltrate their ranks. i don't think their basic beliefs have changed. they just changed their tactics of how to keep blacks 'in their place'. disqusting. | 9 |
