From 02-Aug-2005's New York Post August 2, 2005 -- JERUSALEM — Did you hear the one about the Jewish doctor who helped the Saudi crown prince make it big-time with ravishing Riviera babes? Well, it's no joke. A prominent Israeli urologist regularly slipped into Saudi Arabia dressed in Arab garb to secretly treat King Fahd, who died yesterday, and other royal princes for their impotency problems. Dr. Moshe Many told The Post he made frequent top-secret medical missions to Saudi Arabia — and to the posh playgrounds of the randy royals — to help them overcome a problem they had bedding European women. His visits, which started in 1978, when Fahd was crown prince, were arranged by Saudi gazillionaire playboy-arms dealer Adnan Khashoggi shortly after the Camp David peace accords. The royals "didn't know I was an Israeli. They thought I was Italian," Jerusalem-born Many told The Post. He said the princes had an inferiority complex that rendered them impotent when they tried to have sex with European women. He helped them out by prescribing a prosthesis, he said. Many, 70, said he ended his clandestine doctoring after Fahd was crowned king in 1982. Asked what Fahd would have done if he had discovered he was Israeli, Many said, "Once he had accepted me as a physician, he himself would have taken care of it, and it wouldn't have become known. "But he never learned it," he said. Although Israeli officials were aware of his undercover urology, Many insisted, "I was not going there to spy or to get information." We are all engines of karma

Now you're going to make me google "Greenhouse Thermodynamics" We are all engines of karma

So, I've been pondering... If CO2 blocks the IR going out, why doesn't it block the IR coming in? Net/net, that would be zero, correct? We are all engines of karma

ahck... We are all engines of karma

Good point, ...had never looked at it in those terms. I'm definitely going to ponder that one. Where are you getting the information that says IR is the primary radiative heat transfer mechanism? To continue the debate here, let's make sure we're focused on the same point: Is CO2 dramatically impacting the surface temperature of our planet? Many people, including the folks at Exxon, don't think it's the first order driving force in the change we're observing. What are the folks at Exxon missing? Not their money... Off to ponder...

I believe the issue here is the _change_ in ocean energy. The sun has always been around, and while I don't know, haven't heard anthing about a change in its energy output. CO2 doesn't make up enough of the atmosphere to dramatically affect energy content of ocean through radiative heat transfer. Likewise, radiative heat transfer doesn't become significant until high temperatures. Underwater volcanic activity sounds like the most likely culprit to me, and there is nothing we can do about that. Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying we shouldn't clean up after ourselves, e.g. emissions, but gases are not going to have a dramatic affect on liquid energy content. We are all engines of karma

Yes, very good ones. Here's another: Two cows in a pasture. One asks, "Aren't you afraid of mad cow disease?" Two says, "No" One asks, "Why not?" Two says, "Because I'm a duck" We are all engines of karma

Hurricanes are driven by water surface temperature, not air temperature. The ratio of Energy/Temperature is the mass * heat capacity. For an equivalent mass, the heat capacity ratio is of interest. The increasing energy is coming from the ocean, not the air. Water, especially liquid water, has a much higher heat capacity than CO2. So, what's heating the liquid water on the planet? I doubt it's warm CO2 in the air. My recollection is the emissions "thingy" got big over concerns about the ozone layer, which had to do with skin cancer and cataracts. Hurricanes and skin cancer are not connected. We are all engines of karma

I just read this article. ... Your security is in your own hands. And every state that doesn't play with our security has automatically guaranteed its own security. And Allah is our Guardian and Helper, while you have no Guardian or Helper. All peace be upon he who follows the Guidance. So, basically, he's saying we all have to become Muslims to have peace. OBL is full of shit. We are all engines of karma

I have a friend who went to Israel. He's a very level headed guy. He was appalled how the Israelis treated the Palestinians - quote "...worse than dogs" Not that I'm taking sides here... I don't particularly care for either side. We are all engines of karma

Is this based on heat capacity? We are all engines of karma

LMAO!

I cannot get this out of my head now.

Thomas Friedman, a columnist for the NYTimes, summed it up - we need a modern "Manhattan" project to develop new sources of energy. The long term survival of our society and way of life depends upon it. We are all engines of karma

Yes, at one point. But, after reading Rhode's books' about nuclear weapons, and how much power Curtis LeMay had, several things started adding up in my head. Curtis LeMay was vehemently anti-Communist. He was very angry at JFK for not supporting the Cuban invasion. He chewed JFK out in front of "everyone" at the White House. The Russians had previously ignited the largest thermonucear weapon the world has ever seen (50 megatons), and he was convinced we were going to war with them sooner rather than later. So, he wanted to be proactive, before they could start delivering their weapons to American soil. Curtis LeMay and our senior military commanders from WWII watched what the Russians could do when they took Berlin. The Russians lost over 5,000 men a _day_ for over a _month_ just taking Berlin. That made a distinct impression on everyone. Then, JFK was going to withdraw from Vietnam, which IMO, was where we tried to show the Russians they weren't going to push America around. Curtis LeMay and those around him were extreme warriors, and couldn't allow that to happen. After JFK's death, we flew thousands of solo bomber flights over Russia. They had no defense, and didn't know if the bomber's were loaded. That was Curtis LeMay's doing, and it took almost 50 years before that was acknowledged even remotely in public. While there are no smoking guns, I personally find it unbelievable that Lee Harvey Oswald was personally responsible (if at all) for JFKs death. JFK, etc., were all very powerful men, and Curtis LeMay, being SAC commander, was the alpha male among them. All signs point to him, IMO. We are all engines of karma

Apparently, one of Lyndon Johnson's early opponents in Texas was found dead, in a farm field, of multiple gunshots to the head, with a 22 caliber _rifle_ lying next to him. The local judge declared it a suicide. We are all engines of karma

Names are nouns, therefore Jesus is a noun. QED. I was saved when I was 12 years old, wanted to be a Southern Baptist Preacher when I was 16, then discovered the first law of thermo when I was 19. Spent several years of my life very actively reconciling the two. Large amounts of beer and hard drugs finally helped me write that last chapter, for me personally. It would take me 5 minutes to explain it to you over a beer, but _you_ still might not get it. Too bad. You should look into that, and ask yourself: What reservoirs of energy are in effect when you apply your free will? You'll come to recognize, after sufficient study, that our science has _not_ identified all the reservoirs of energy that deal with free will. Language is hard, especially when the observations being reported must be the same independent of the observer. That doesn't make the reservoirs of energy any less real, though. Your thoughts count. Hell, you can even be Jesus yourself, if that's how you want to apply your free will. Good luck. Watch out for the rocks. BTW - you strike me as a pretty judgemental person, and there is absolutely no reason for that here. Go buy a pair of polarized sun glasses. Maybe god will let you see a rainbow, instead of the white-heaven black-hell thing you currently see. We are all engines of karma

Be careful, please... We are all engines of karma

IMO, your starting point is wrong. God is _not_ a he. It's a verb. A flow through _everything_ that has ever existed and will ever exist, and that which hasn't existed, yet. Free will is your connection to that flow. It's _real_. God/the flow has a pronounced tendency to make rainbows, even if you can't see them. And there are billions (uncountable) across all interactions between cultures, etc., on this planet. Even in our day to day lives. Oh, too be able to traverse a rainbow, fully, at will. Now, that would be an accomplishment. Language evolves. To those who insist on seeing God as a noun, their interpretation involves with experience. That's OK for them. It's one of the reasons we have so many different religions basically saying the same thing, but at odds with each other. I've been fortunate in this life to have seen breath takingly complex rainbows (not the rain storm kind) and almost feel it made sense. Each time, it's made me feel small and insignificant, ...and thirsty We are all engines of karma

I'm confident it's only a small fraction of the Muslim faith as a whole that are causing problems. IMO, this small fraction needs to be turned out from within, and aggressively so. Also, their money backers need to be turned out, and aggressively so. The rest of the Mulsims cannot sit back and hope it goes away. America, as a great and diverse culture of people that exercise free will and do so reasonably happily amongst ourselves, and enjoy doing so, should not tolerate helpless complaints from Wahabi extemists. If they need our help, we should give it to them, in effective form (9mms and larger). It'd be even better if our guys carried the guns and did the shooting. We are all engines of karma
