I know I for one would rather read just positive stories from time to time so here is a selection of happy news or positive news websites. Rose tinted glasses at the ready .

www.positivenews.org.uk

Maybe we should copy all these links to free books and old books and have another thread where we can put links to free books, might be useful and reference topic? I know I would find that useful .

Thanks eyeofthestorm for that link. I am kind of interested in reading the story of faust.

If you are looking for freestuff JustinBoots the http://forum.justfortheloveofit.org is all about living life without money, so might pick up some cool tips their. I also posted some computer links, which has lot of info on cool computer apps (some free) and websites that let you do cool stuff.
http://sshomestead.com/forum/index.php/topic,2335.0.html might be of use .

Your welcome Neight let me know what you think when you seen it if you don't mind .

This lecture certainly inspired me and I wanted to share the oppertunity to others to share in this,

The "Last Lecture" by Randy Pausch

It might be upsetting as the guy giving the lecture is dying and has probably passed away by now .

What's agenda 2 1? Johnny?

That is something to look forward to, thanks for the head's up.

If I wanted to use the urea probably filter it, depending on it's UV tolerance probably blast it with a bit of UV and temperature while at it, microcurrents have been shown to kill off microbes very effectively in hostile environments so might even try that. Though the real trick is to have it so you don't have to come in contact with it.

My major worry would be heptatsis c, thankfully I had some vaccination against it because I worked with bloods but hep is very persistant lasting upto 2 weeks on surfaces and only need small amount for infection.
HIV is rendered inactive after short exposure to air 10 mins so imagine it be realitive easy to ensure that it was destroyed.

You are right safety and health are pretty prime concern, I would also include in design a flush system that can sterolise the whole tubing. Something like perrisafe would be great because it is a bleach that is used in cell culture after about 10 minutes it deactivates and becomes blue meaning it is safe (still toxic if ingested i bet) but won't kill mammalian cells that pass through tubing etc.

Urinary tract infections aren't they usually yeast or opertunistic bacteria? Just out of curiousity? The are lot of hormones in the water in UK apprantly, fun days.

Yeah they didn't take me by the ears but thought it might be useful for some of you

Alot of children in the UK Johnny max know worse swear words than the F word infact I think swearing is probably not as harshly regarded as over in the states and some words you guys seem to regard as swear words kind of socially acceptable down here. In saying that I try not to swear. You are definitely right kids are the future .
