to bury their hatchets, band together, ditch special interest handouts and collectively do the right things for the average American? (Besides an act of a supreme being?) :0corn
Is some of this post missing? I'm not sure I understand the question sir. If you could please expand on it, I would appreciate it.

What are some processes that could affect the composition of magma other than fractional crystallization? Please describe the processes:0008
I believe you're asking about Magma Differentiation between a collection of igneous rock formations in a closed area, specifically other than fractional crystallization?
So for those that are unclear what we are talking about, this is about the differing processes that affect mineral composition of igneous rock formations.
There are several different mineral compositions or types of rock in the earth's core. Magma melts these minerals or rocks and once expelled through the mantle and crust they settle as igneous rock formations that are studied by geologists. (I am sure there are better more expansive explanations but this is how I understand it). By studying rock formations in a closed area or in close proximity geologists can study the composition of said rocks that give them clues as to the original composition of the different rocks that were melted by the magma.
Some of these processes are as follows. Crystal fractionation.

Singular melting events from distinct sources.

2 or more magmas mixing together.

Contamination or assimilation of magmas by the earth's crust or crustal rocks.

Differing degrees of partial melting of rocks from the same core source.

Liquid Immiscibility.

So the short but too long explanation of these I'd this.
Crystal fractionation is when rocks containing different elements such as potassium, rubidium, magnesium, etc.... are melted together some of the elements have a higher melting point, differing densities can form crystals that are ejected from or dropped out of the magma thus changing the composition of the resultant igneous rocks. For instance some rocks on the bottom of the formation may contain high concentrations of an element with a lower melting point, while other rocks may have very little of that element. This would be indicative of crystal fractionation.

Contamination or assimilation is somewhat self explanatory. As the magma is pushed through the crust, some of the crystal rock will melt into the magma, thus changing the composition.

Singular melting events from distinct source rocks is again pretty much how it sounds. The composition of the magma would be somewhat consistent and fluid, however this type event has been historically hard to prove.

There are also varying degrees of melt from magma which would produce a completely different composition. Elements that have higher melting points would not be as dense in the first formations yet prevalent in the "melt 2" phase.

Magmas mixing together would cause one melt, the hotter of the two to absorb many of the denser elements but would maintain a similar yet distinct composition by density between the two magmas. The differences would be evident in the viscosity, density, and temperature.

Liquid Immiscibility is when two magmas meet but are unable to mix due to differences in the equilibrium of substances contained within each magma. For a liquid to be a liquid then all liquid and solid elements contained within the liquid must be in equilibrium, meaning the reaction of elements has reached a balance. When two liquids are in equilibrium they do not always mix, such as oil and water.

I know this is not a very good explanation and crystal fractionation has a lot to do with water content that I didn't even attempt but this is the best I can do as far as explaining what I know about it.
Hope this helps,
FDC

why dont dogs get colds :shrug:
Dogs absolutely get colds. They are not transmitted from humans just as you can't give a cold to another human being. Colds are not communicable. The signs of a cold in a dog are not as easily recognizable as of those in a human. Dogs will become tired, runny nose, sleepy eyes, and oftentimes their tail will be down, but they definitely get colds.

Preds will win again in two games.

Hope this helps,
FDC

well shit, since you are wrong on the colds thing, I am not feeling good about my Preds :scared
No I'm not wrong dude?! Go to petMD and look. Dogs get the flu as well. Don't know where you heard they don't get colds but if you want to believe that them you go big guy. Kennel cough is a type of cold. Colds are viral brother all living organisms are susceptible to a viral infection.

FDC you have 16 more minutes to answer my question. Unfortunately in that time 19.4 babies faces will have been gnawed off by pit bulls.
Did you see the story recently of the pit bull that saved a little girl getting her face gnawed at in real life by Labrador? Thats a real news story.

Also did you hear about the dentist that win the Pulitzer prize for medicine. That's not real because we know that dentists aren't doctors.


In answer to your original question. 90% of all dog attacks are the responsibility of the owner. Get your facts straight.

Hope that makes you cry,
FDC

Andy? Bro? Where do you see a contradiction? Colds are believed to be caused by viruses. Viral infections are different from bacterial infections. Dogs can get colds, humans can get colds. Some viruses that are reactive in humans are not reactive in dogs.
When you sneeze on someone when you have a cold does not mean that person will get sick with a cold. Colds are not always communicable between humans or dogs. Several viruses can cause colds. I think you're missing one point, a cold is not singularly exclusive to one particular symptom or virus. If you have a sore throat and a cough, you can call it a cold. You can have a head cold with a runny nose.
Dude, all this information is readily available for your edification on petMD and WebMD. If you're trying to tell me that when you put 3 dogs and 3 people in a room with a person with a cold sneezing constantly while licking the dogs and humans food, only the people will get the cold...... you're absolutely and completely incorrect. None of them will with any measurable consistency.
I think you're trying to say that a dog can't catch a cold from a human, and that's misleading. Colds are transmittal to humans and dogs and they both can come down with them.

I am saying that colds are TOTALLY transmittable among humans ... and you know I have had so many dogs between owning, rescuing and fostering to not have any with "colds" :0008

If you could change several aspects of the National
political system, what changes
would you mandate?
Eliminate the two party system. Do away with all political interest groups and privatized campaign funding. All candidates would be given a set amount to spend. Initiate a popular vote and eliminate the electoral college. Term limits on Congress, age and term limits on supreme court judges. Regulate municipal, county and state judicial branches of government.
Initiate an economic sub-branch to oversee, consolidate, initiate and regulate economic legislation such as the IRS, the budget, grants, etc... eliminate filibusters, end all lifetime benefits for congressmen and women. Initiate a forty hour work week and pay scale commensurate with hours worked.
Basically make being a congressman a privilege with expectations and clear cut work rules and not every have to see another congressman bring a fucking snowball to a sitting session in order to argue scientific fact.
That is my answer to what I would change about the political system.


To all,
I will ask that no more matters of politics be asked in this thread. I do not want the thread moved. I'd appreciate everyone's cooperation in this matter.

Dude, that's not all your saying. Your asked why dogs can't catch colds, I said they can, you said I'm wrong. Dogs get colds all the time. Whether or not they caught them from you or not doesn't refute the scientific evidence to support that.

Okay I see why you capitalized totally and I fixed that part of my post to reflect that colds are transmittable between humans, however they are also transmittable to dogs dependent upon the virus. Some viruses are more virulent than others.
