Talk:Colored fire

message: It would probably be advisable to not do any cooking over these colored fires, especially if one does the garden hose in the copper pipe trick. Most garden hoses are made from PVC plastic, which is an organochlorine compound. The formation of higher than normal levels of the highly persistent and toxic compounds polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins (PCDDs) is likely, since the recipe is perfect (low temperature - <800C, low turbulence and air mixing, chlorine source, and catalyst - copper.). This was a huge subject of debate during the 1990s regarding correlation of PVC and copper input to dioxin output of waste incineration plants.
The best thing is probably to stick with the commercial products. If using metal salts to color the flames, it doesn't take much metal to create long-lasting colorful flames. The commercial products likely have just enough and no more than is needed to get the desired effect.
*Alternatively, you could do your cooking first and then toss the colorants in, or do your cooking in something like a Dutch oven (which is a cast-iron pot with a tight-fitting lid - great for making stews and the like).  --Special Operative MACAVITYDebrief me 17:30, 29 September 2009 (UTC)

Talk:Misquah Hills

message: The first sentence of the Geology section now (14 March 2009) reads that the bedrock "forms the roof of the Duluth Complex, part of the larger Precambrian rock formations of the Canadian Shield, making them among the oldest ranges on earth."  Cited is Ojakangas & Matsch, Minnesota's Geology (University of Minnesota Press 1982), p. 15.  I think this goes too far.  While the hills are on the shield, they are a more recent addition, are they not?  I do not see support at Ojakangas & Matsch p. 15 for the assertion that they are among the oldest ranges on earth.  In fact I cannot see that the Misquah Hills are even mentioned in the book (they are not in the index), but will continue looking.  Kablammo (talk) 20:45, 14 March 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I was confused - I was thinking perhaps that they meant that they were one of the oldest topographic highs... but I don't know about that.

thread_title:  Age 

message: I am confused by some of the statements I've been reading about exactly how large the Misquah hills range is supposed to be. Go to google maps, find lake Misquah, and hit the terrain button, and I can clearly see the range extending seven miles west between lake Winchell and Brule Lake, and I can see it extending about four miles east to Lima Mountain. However, if that's all the larger the Misquah hills are, then that range most certainly does not include the second range you see a little to the south, which goes from about Eagle to Pine Mountains. I'm rather inclined to believe the term originally only meant those peaks north of a line extending east-west from Lake Brule, but has since come to possess a wider currency, though I'm not sure of this. Either way, we have contradictory sources in the article, if on the one hand all the peaks are either 4 miles east and 7 miles west of Lake Misquah, but on the other hand, Eagle Mountain is one of those hills, at more than 7 miles distant.

"Despite the aforementioned developments of the show's mythological plot arc, there is also more subtly the first explicit reference of a detail that is only finally confirmed (both for the audience and for Mulder) in the last episode of the series - The Truth (I and II) (episodes 9X19/9X20) - seven seasons later."

Additionally, it seems Ullerstam never used the express term "sexual minority," rather Hugo G. Beigel did in reviewing Ullerstam's work.  The review itself is what has been cited, not Ullerstam's work.  Ullerstam argued on behalf of these people as minorities but the closest term used in English translation is the title itself, "Erotic Minorities."  --208.54.35.152 (talk) 23:16, 22 August 2016 (UTC)

Talk:Toby Esterhase

message: Since John le Carré is known to have worked for MI6, it seems possible that the organizations and individuals portrayed in his novels are at least partially based on real counterparts, albeit in deniable and oblique ways. The origin of the term 'lamplighters' (the name of Toby Esterhase's operation), is never explored or explained as far as I can discover. There is however a real term which may be the one he was trying to disguise, gaslighting. Gaslighters attempt to undermine an individual and destroy their mental balance using a range of psychological attacks, which clearly must be facilitated by close and detailed surveillance of the individual (Le Carré does say that Esterhase's operation is involved in surveillance). Gaslighting would probably be particularly useful for running already stressed enemy agents to earth! /Plishman 03:00, 8 September 2007 (UTC)
