Those are called the asphaltenes they're an ingredient in asphalt.

The asphalt will burn.

And then the asphaltenes and this is the crucial thing the asphaltenes get whipped by the waves into a frothy emulsion, something like mayonnaise.

People look at the roads, for example, and they'd say, Angola 90 percent of roads are untarred. Ah, problem!

And Andy and his team discovered that they were going to spend 200 million of those dollars on asphalt to surround the schools themselves.

Now most environmentalists don't say growth is good, because, in our lexicon, asphalt is two words assigning blame.

What we do is we take a fire hydrant, a no parking space associated with a fire hydrant, and we prescribe the removal of the asphalt to create an engineered micro landscape, to create an infiltration opportunity.

In another development, IDF halted the paving of an asphalt road by Jews between the Ma aon settlement and the Ma aon farm where a settler had been murdered some two weeks earlier. (Ha aretz, 6 May)
