    I am a Lab Tech and have operated / calibrated many spectrometers. OES measuring the emissions of light. AA measuring the absorbance of light.

    My Emotional Experience

    My Emotional Experience

    In the course of an hour I was at my uncle's. He was surprised to see me, but gave me a cordial welcome. The first thing he did was to disarm me, and that ended my pistol-toting. I have never had one about my person or home to this good day. And I never will understand just why I had that one. A...

    My Emotional Experience

    In the hands of Satan

    In the hands of Satan example one... The first example I have of the life in the hands of the Satan is that of the William "Action" Jackson. When the boys of the devil got a hold of him they... 1. Stripped him naked tying his wrists and feet 2. Put a meat hook in his rectum to hoist him 3...

    Was Peter the first Pope?

    I also don't elevate any denominations here knowing we all have issues to contend with. I am a member Appalachian Conference Pentecostal Holiness, but the glory days of revival are long gone.
