Laaloo Posted August 23, 2013 Posted August 23, 2013 What's so bad about Jersey? I'd rather stay in Jersey than half other states in the US any day of the week.
Cricketics Posted August 23, 2013 Posted August 23, 2013 What's so bad about Jersey? I'd rather stay in Jersey than half other states in the US any day of the week. Maryland/va aka Washington DC. best. Not far if you are fan of NY. So you can easily travel there. Nice, clean, green Maryland, VA. If you like mountains we got that a lot too. If you like crowded place and find some other states too slow, offcourse it's not as busy as manhattan, but you will find it still pretty busy place to be.

randomGuy Posted August 26, 2013 Posted August 26, 2013 Engineer's plastic-to-fuel device passes patent office tests Determined to find a cheap and sustainable fuel, engineer Chitra Thiyagarajan developed a unit that converts plastic waste into a fuel similar to diesel. After a series of tests in a sustained three-year effort, Thiyagarajan finally perfected the device and applied for a patent.
Detonator Posted August 26, 2013 Posted August 26, 2013 Engineer's plastic-to-fuel device passes patent office tests That could be a big thing in future. :hatsoff: Looks like wastes of thermoplastics like Polyethylene, teflon and as quoted in the article, PET can't be treated. Sadly they are the most common plactic wastes. If they find a way to dispose them off, it would be a huge. ( I m not sure, open to be proved wrong :--D ) An overstatement but I have a feeling that this could do what Bloom Box did to electricity.

All plastic except PET bottles can be converted, note that PET is used ONLY in bottles. See the below link for a table containing different type of plastics and their uses: http://www.factsonpet.com/facts-on-pet/

See the below link for a table containing different type of plastics and their uses: http://www.factsonpet.com/facts-on-pet/ Thanks for the link. I m just re-collecting the things I studied in chemistry last year. :--D. Yes, I was wrong about polyethylene. The PET part in the article is what confusing me. The plastic to fuel conversion is already there. One example, note the PET and PVC aren't allowed here too. http://www.plastic2oil.com/site/plastic-feedstock This law is around for a long time. "Polyethylene and polypropylene are pure hydrocarbons, only they are arranged in long chains. If you chop those chains into shorter ones, you get oil, if you chop them even shorter, you get diesel, and if you chop them again, you get gasoline and eventually burnable gas." www.energeticforum.com

Crookbond Posted August 28, 2013 Posted August 28, 2013 ^ Rude electronic media leaves Deepika in tears Hungry for more, the news channels persisted with their relentless questioning at the felicitation and demanded one-on-one interviews. One cameraman followed every move of the archers, forcing Deepika to request him to move away even as she had breakfast with the team coach. Instead of acceding to the request, the cameraman taunted the 18-year-old, saying Deepika should actually be grateful for such media coverage. Unmindful of the affront — to a World Cup champion, ranked No. 2 in the world in her sport — the smiling trio of Deepika, Buruily and Bombayla obliged the interview requests patiently. But with time running out and the team scheduled to fly out in the afternoon, they requested the remaining TV crew to conduct combined interviews instead. That became a sore point with a couple of reporters insisting on ‘exclusive’ sound bytes. Things went out of hand when a reporter accused Deepika of being arrogant by refusing to talk individually to everyone. That’s when Deepika broke down. Wiping her tears, Deepika said she had not slept for more than 24 hours, had a headache because she had not eaten since morning and was rushing to catch a flight. http://www.thehindu.com/sport/other-sports/rude-electronic-media-leaves-deepika-in-tears/article5065598.ece?homepage=true
Detonator Posted August 28, 2013 Posted August 28, 2013 ^ :facepalm: Certainly not a good news in this thread.
Crookbond Posted August 28, 2013 Posted August 28, 2013 :(( I wanted to post the "good news" and it was followed up with some worse ones! :wall:
