My base equipment. coffee cans (26 + oz size) coffee filters (not cone type) wire strainer 2 glass cooking thermometers Crock-pot (large enough to hold at least 1 coffee can of liquid + 2 cups, got mine at salvation army and soap is all I use it for) wooden spoons (If properly treated first you could use them for cooking after but that is a lost art) 2 cup or larger pyrex measuring cup Kitchen scale or my preferred scale is a digital scale from Harbor Freight. You may want molds and whatnot, I don't bother I just let it harden in the Crock-pot then cut it out. Once you start to use lye you do not want to involve metals unless you know exactly what they are and how they will react. Aluminum for example will violently react. This is how Works or Drano bombs work.

6 months and two batches of soap latter (I'm experimenting and building a surplus) I became zit free. As a test I started using dove and the acne returned on my chest and back, then I started using lava (was my normal full body wash) and the acne started on my forearms again. Back to the homemade stuff and it all went away.

Red Dawn (2012)

Casino Royale (1967) is satire of the James Bond and spy films in general named from a Bond novel so Casino Royale (2006) is a novel adaption not a remake. -
Just saw it. *Sigh* What a hamfisted treatment. Granted the original wasn't the greatest story ever told but the reboot (boot as in the noise some make when vomiting) is trash. Even more so by the fact that originally it was going to be the ChiComs invading the west coast not the dinky ass North Koreans. The removed and changed a lot of the original drivers to the point that one felt like they watching someone play a zero substance war video game. The only good thing in this move was where the invaders where calling people who where defending their home terrorists. Sound familiar? OK so two good things, kids less than half my age saying it sucked compared to the original. Glad I didn't pay full price, wish I had waited to download a cam. How much do you want to bet that when I go to see Evil Dead (the remake of The Evil Dead) that the next time I see Mr. Campbell , I'll look him in the eyes with tears in mine and whisper "You lied... to us all." Because I can not remember a remake that wasn't shit let a lone shit compared to it's predecessor.

If you give it a try Might I sugest this as a filling. Ingredients: 1/3 cup of sugar Two tablespoons of cornstarch One and a half cups of whole milk One Tablespoon of pure vanilla extract 1/3 cup of whiping cream Directions: Combine the milk, cornstarch and sugar to a sauce pan and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer for about three minutes, stirring constantly to prevent sticking. Remove the saucepan from the heat and allow to cool completely. Pour the contents of the saucepan into a mixing bowl. Stir in the vanilla extract and whiping cream. refrigerated 1 hour. Set mixer to whip/high and go at it till it looks right. Or go at it with a whisk and kill your elbow like I do. That is my recipe for vanilla mousse. According to my grandmother (way back in the day when she refused to let me eat them) the fillings use to be banna cream pie, vanilla cream pie, vanilla mousse then the tasty junk.

Let me explain those definitions for you because there is a difference. The definition for atheist is plainly stating that they believe there is no god or as the agnostics put it "Atheists have faith there is no god." The definition for agnostic is plainly stating agnostics just don't know either way. Left = THERE IS NO GOD! Right = THERE IS A GOD! Center = Maybe, maybe not. Trust me when I say true Agnostics don't like being lumped in with atheists because a true Atheist tends to be just as bad as a bible beater. Exactly! You don't see, nor do I, but neither of us are the public we are just a miniscule fraction. Just like the average person can't tell you what the three branches of American government are nor their function, they can't tell you what Romanticism is. Hell they will tell you that it is wooing, but not in so few words. Be it deliberate or accidental it is a result of dumbing down the language. But I'll give you that do think it, they just don't know that they do.

It is just as impossible for an Atheist to be agnostic as it is for a devout fundamentalist Cristian to do the same. Your "goth poser" example is like comparing apples to ER309L. The general public does not equate Satanism with any for of romance tho I will give you you average person can't express what they truly mean because they don't have enough of a grasp on vocabulary to express it or the think the artistic expression extends to concise communication. Hell, even my vocabulary is garbage, but when people get pissed in vocal conversation one tends to lose what isn't being used.

You wouldn't happen to be one of those people who claim an atheist can be agnostic are you? I mean I can identify with Christians but that doesn't make me a christian and if I claimed to be, well that's all it would be, a claim. You have to be honest about the "panic", it could and has been used as a Great Oz propaganda tool. Sure you do have the uneducated masses who would take a walk in the woods, see the remnants of a cooling drain and or gut pile and assume the worse. You also have the kids who play at Satanism. All it did was get people to say "There is none of that here. All it was was scared Christians looking for a boogeyman in the woods." Never mind the fact that many Satanists participated and even instigated preposterous outrage over nothing as cover. I find paranormal to be highly laughable but the occult under the original intention of the word is very real. I personally haven't seen a book prior to 1950 where occult was used to mean magic or some paranormal drivel that was not written by an individual who was/claimed christian. Hell Kabbalah Occult literally means "Receiving hidden knowledge". Once you look at what cult means you start to understand the occult was the hidden knowledge needed to properly care for a shrine. That leads to the crux of the belief that occult means magic, but knowing you have to keep the pipes clean and the water at a specific level in the vat so that when the fire is lit on the alter a door opens revealing a statue of the deity... simply is not magic.

Acquire the daily show commercial free in 1 min. segment MP3 format free HERE. If you want a specific video (don't ask for daily show or nightly news) just ask in this thread. As it will be a massive consumption of my hard drive space seeding the D show I will only temporarily seed the other video's.

If there is then it isn't in the old location as of last week.

Consider this. How scientific evidence is produced by the pharma industry. All scientific evidence is bought an paid for by the company that will benefit from the findings. In many cases hundreds of trials are done before the final test (see the syntactical game there?). The information from the trials is kept secret preventing the public from ever seeing it. In most cases the trial information shows as a whole that at best the drug is ineffective at worse lethal, but they are using the trial to find a specific profile of people who will see some benefit. By the time they are ready for the final test they have refined the profile so much that it can not represent the global picture of the people who will end up being prescribed the drug in question. The tests are performed on such small groups of people that you can not get an accurate picture as to how the drug will effect large numbers. The test is done to quickly to show negative long term effects, some tests are done as quickly as 2 weeks. The efficacy and safety statistics are always misrepresented. Read my fist post in this thread. The final panels reviewing and recommending either have, are or will be on the payrolls of the companies submitting for approval.

Guess I lucked out. At 14 I became a Strega and aver the next 4 years convinced my father and his brothers to give up the holy roman church. Yeah they became Lutheran but hey. Nonna always did call me her little ammaliatrici (charmer). On my mothers side, one aunt blew me off knowing I was on the path, the other died claiming me to be a demon worshiper mostly thanks to her husband. My mother became Wiccan and my stepfather became agnostic (he was an atheist). Satanism (not this kid created from reading a few Anton S. LaVey and Aleister Crowley books and turning it into a mockery)is actuality a christian offshoot of Luciferinism. A few observations: Adult kiddie satanists, tend to be pseudo intellectual atheists with a child like persecution complex. You know, no one gives a shit but they still whine about how they are hated. Satanism: Most attend a traditional christian church. Most are Masons. Some practice dark wicca and or voodoo. All believe. Luciferinism: Some attend a traditional christian church. All are Masons or where Masons (there is something above the 33 degree but I cant remember what it is called). All of them practice a plethora of other religious rights and "spells" if you will. None of them where central middle class or lower, that isn't to say there aren't any now times are hard for anyone but the rich. Almost every single male set of my Phedodar. Many where jesuits, priests, nuns and a variate of ministers and what not. And neither group is as secretive as many would have us believe, in fact they seem to revel in the uninitiated of the anti organized religion persuasion knowing about them. It is some piece of dogma they go by about "Some have to know the truth least the lie become truth" or something like that.

Consider this. Medical experts use to promote bloodletting as a cure all. Medical experts promoted cigarette smoking as beneficial to health, especially to asthmatics. Early last century the Surgeon General effectually claimed we where at the pinnacle of medical science and everything would be curable within 2 decades. Doctors have a shorter average life span than just about any other profession. I'm sure that 3000 years ago "Your penis is turning black because you are cursed by Venus for not having enough sex with temple whores." sounded just as logical "Here take this drug that can give you cancer to cure your cancer."

The Walking Dead
Vater Araignee replied to Simon Bar Sinister's topic in Movies, Books, Art, TV, Gaming and Computers
but it isn't difficult to have some rubber maggots spilling out of a walker once in a wile. Or to add a buzzing sound in areas with a more than one or two bodies. I mean come on, with that much rotten flesh... -
Consider this. The IRS audits three times the percentage (thats PERCENTAGE) of individuals as it does business and the larger the company the less likely it is to be touched. The mega multinationals being the lest likely to get audited are also the most likely to commit fraud. Consider this. In studies the leading fingerprint experts have been shown to be wrong over 50% of the time. Consider this. American Polygraph Association who have a vested interest in stating a polygraph is the most effective form of lie detection and has a 98% accuracy rate. Truth is when you dig up the numbers of their studies you find that they ignore the ones without number they want and when you average all the different studies you find the rate is only 84.5%. So roughly 1 in 5 whose jobs depend on successfully passing a polygraph are screwed because the lie detector examiner lied.

The Walking Dead

I have noticed something. The zombie virus must destroy flies. -
I have been coming the dark recesses, ya know the place where half memories go to die a slow death. Anyway I believe you where partially right about the lamb but if I remember correctly it was more mutton plus they had some kind of pink yogurt and the local water was cloudy from minerals. Consider this. Cultures with the highest instances of people becoming centenarians (they also have amazing amounts of octogenarians and nonagenarians) also do not have many allopathic practitioners. Sure their cultures have a lower average life span than western cultures do but once they make it adulthood more of them live longer and healthier than we do. An MD is great at reassembling and replacing broken parts but if they can only manage heart burn what makes people think they can cure CHD? Closer inspection of centenarian cultures starts showing that they practically have zero instances of terminal illnesses that we look at as common old age illness.
