Drug Checkpoint Ahead?

Relax and Keep Driving...

Why? Because there isn’t exactly such a thing as a drug checkpoint. In City of Indianapolis v. Edmond, the Supreme Court found random drug checkpoints unconstitutional in 2000. Since then, police (particularly in the mid-west) have gotten into the habit of putting signs up warning drivers of upcoming drug checkpoints and then detaining and searching drivers who make illegal u-turns or desperately fling contraband from their vehicles. These checkpoint-like fake checkpoints serve as the functional equivalent of a checkpoint without violating the Court’s prohibition against checkpoints.

Run Your Car On Water!

PRELIMINARY PLANS
TO RUN YOUR CAR ON TAP WATER!
IT ALSO WORKS ON YOUR

The Plan
Build and install a low-cost alternative method for running your vehicle (internal combustion engine) on tap water, using off-the-shelf components.
This is simply an efficient way to convert ordinary tap water into gaseous hydrogen and oxygen, and then burn these vapors in the engine, instead of gasoline.
This "minisystem" runs easily from your existing battery and electrical system, and it plugs into your carburetor with simple off-the-shelf fittings.
You will be installing a plastic water tank, a control circuit, a reaction chamber, a hi-pressure carb/FI fitting, and 3 gauges, and then hooking into your existing carb/FI.
The simplicity comes from its being an "on-demand" system requiring no fancy storage or plumbing. You crank the gas pedal or throttle, and you electrically create more vapor for immediate consumption, on demand; low-high flow rate as needed, from idle to maximum power. The only real change is that you are using tap water as fuel, instead of the traditional petroleum-based fuel.
Given a choice, which way would you choose?

Second Hand Smoking Myths

Don't Let Real Science Get In The Way!

Dr. Bernard M. Wagner, the editor of Modern Pathology, recently wrote, "Are there 450,000 smoking-related deaths per year in America? Maybe...but no human beings are ever studied to find out". Wagner went on to say the biggest obstacle to knowing what is actually going on is the low autopsy rate in this country, about 10%.

Perhaps the best (or maybe the worst) example of the LaLonde effect is the recent report of the Environmental Protection Agency on the "dangers" of second-hand smoke (ETS).

In an article published in the Winter 93-94 issue of Bostonia, a magazine published by Boston University, the EPA Report was vigorously attacked by Dr. John C. Luik, a non-smoker, and a senior associate of the Niagara Institute, Ontario, Canada. As Luik showed, the EPA study was based on some 30 studies from several different countries. These studies dealt, essentially, with the effect of smoking by a smoking husband or wife on a non-smoking spouse. Of the thirty studies, 24 showed no statistically significant connection between ETS (environmental tobacco smoke) and lung cancer. However, while the EPA saw fit to discuss and refer to all 30 studies, it made a statistical analysis of only 11 U.S. studies. EPA conceded that ten of these studies also showed no statistically significant increase in lung cancer risk. One study alone showed such a risk, but to show such a risk, the EPA was obliged to reduce the statistical "confidence factor" which it normally uses in such analyses from 95% to 90%!

The EPA then went on to merge all of the eleven studies together (a statistically invalid procedure since the studies were not all structured the same way), and to reanalyze the results, using the newly reduced "confidence factor". By folding, mutilating and stapling the data, the EPA decided that the spouses of smokers had a risk of developing 119 lung cancers, as opposed to a risk of 100 such cancers in the spouses of non-smokers. Without the reduction in the "confidence factor", no statistically significant risk could have been shown. None-the-less, the EPA branded ETS a "carcinogen".
Writing in Toxological Pathology, Alvan Feinstein, a Yale University epidemiologist quotes another prominent epidemiologist as saying this about the EPA report: "Yes, it's rotten science, but it's in a worthy cause. It will help us to get rid of cigarettes and become a smoke-free society". The "LaLonde Effect" is alive and well!

Lung Cancer & Heavy Smoking:
Nearly 90 percent of people who develop lung cancer are smokers, yet only about 10 percent of lifetime smokers will develop the disease.

Second Hand Smoke - Biggest Hoax Of the 20th Century!

It is barely an exaggeration to say that the prohibitionists invented secondhand tobacco smoke (and rechristened it “environmental tobacco smoke”) because it is (still) difficult to justify prohibition for the smoker’s own good. Anti-tobacco activist Stanton Glantz wrote in 1986: “The issue should be framed in the rhetoric of the environment, toxic chemicals, and public health rather than the rhetoric of saving smokers from themselves or the cigarette companies” (p. 150).

“[It] is safe,” writes Sullum, “to say that the hazards of secondhand smoke have been grossly exaggerated” (p. 159). As the evidence reviewed by Sullum himself suggests (see chapter 5), this conclusion may well be an understatement. The health hazards of secondhand smoke may be the hoax of the twentieth century. The strand of junk science underlying this hoax owes much to the 1992 EPA report that classified secondhand tobacco smoke as a “Group A carcinogen.” It may be useful to quote a source that was not available to Sullum at the time of his writing, namely, the recent judgment of U.S. District Judge William Osteen: “The court is faced with the ugly possibility that EPA adopted a methodology for each chapter, without explanation, based on the outcome sought in that chapter. . . . The record and EPA’s explanations to the court make it clear that using standard methodology, EPA could not produce statistically significant results with its selected studies” (Flue-Cured Tobacco Cooperative v. EPA, No. 6:93CV00370 at 60, 77, M.D.N.C., July 17, 1998).

and the worst threat to humanity ever 'invented'.
===========================================================
All the anti-smoking studies are Epidemiologic Studies

Risk of Lung Cancer:
A relative risk of 1.19, even if the data were not manipulated, is extremely weak. It is of the same general magnitude as the risk that an American citizen faces of dying in a bicycling accident over the course of a lifetime. It is a risk that is less than that associated with developing colon cancer by drinking chlorinated water, which is in most U.S. cities' water supplies. It is generally accepted in the medical literature that any time a relative risk is less than 2.0, the distinct possibility exists that the finding is artifactual and a consequence of the influence of confounding factors.
For instance, many studies indicate that dietary factors alone can influence the rate of development of lung cancer, both in smokers and in nonsmokers, through a relative risk in the range of 20 to 30 percent or so, the same relative magnitude of risk attributed to ETS by the EPA. Multiple reports from the National Cancer Institute and others demonstrate that, because of their lifestyles, the diets of smokers tend to be deficient in beta carotene, vitamins A, C, and E, folate, selenium, and other nutrients known to be anti-carcinogenic. In addition, smokers have lower blood levels of beta carotene and other nutrients than can be explained by diet alone. Characteristically, smokers exhibit other high-risk behaviors that reflect an unhealthy lifestyle. Although the degree to which nonsmoking spouses share such high-risk behaviors has not been extensively quantified and is currently under study, it is only common sense that many of the various risks, especially the dietary ones, might be shared.
As individuals grow older, they have an increased risk for the development of lung cancer, as well as other cancers. Age, then, becomes a very important confounding variable in any study that evaluates the effect of an environmental agent on the development of lung cancer. The EPA analysis, as well as some of the original reports, did not control for this important variable.
There are more than 20 other confounding factors that have been identified as important to assessing risk for lung cancer. When the suggested relative risk is very low, as it is in passive smoking, a single uncontrolled or unaccounted variable can cause a totally spurious interpretation. The EPA's risk assessment acknowledged that confounders are important to any evaluation of ETS as a potential carcinogen. Its concern for confounders was extremely limited, however, and their influence was evaluated by employing a modeling of data by a method as yet untested and unproved by conventional peer review. The EPA, in essence, ignored its own guidelines and established requirements to rule out confounding as an alternative explanation for an association before basing causal inference on epidemiologic results. Until studies take these variables into consideration, we will never know the true risks of ETS exposure.



British Medical Journal report:

Most recently of all, an explosive new study that seriously questions the impact of environmental tobacco smoke on health was published by the British Medical Journal (16 May 2003). According to the study, one of the largest of its kind, the link between environmental tobacco smoke and coronary heart disease and lung cancer may be considerably weaker than generally believed.

Are non-smokers at risk from ETS?This is what everyone wants to know. The truth is that the scientific establishment has found it impossible to reach agreement on the issue. Interviewed on Radio 4's Desert Island Discs (23 February 2001), Professor Sir Richard Doll, the first scientist to publish research that suggested a correlation between lung cancer and primary smoking, commented: 'The effects of other people smoking in my presence is so small it doesn't worry me.'
Professor Doll's comments may surprise some people but not those who have analysed the argument about passive smoking in detail. In 1992, for example, the American Environmental Protection Agency published a report that was said to demonstrate the link between passive smoking and ill health in non-smokers. In 1996 however a US federal court ruled that the EPA had completely failed to prove its case. It was found not only to have abandoned recognised statistical practice, but to have excluded studies which did not support its pre-determined conclusion, and to have been inconsistent in its classification of ETS compared with other substances.

Smoking & Pregnancy Myths:

Sudden Infant Death Syndrome is not even a specific disease, but just an unexplained death. The risk factors (other than sleeping position) are identical with socioeconomic disadvantage. In The Netherlands, SIDS deaths increased by 10 times between 1971 and 1985, despite declines in maternal smoking during this period, because of a switch in the customary sleeping position (AC Engelberts, GA de Jonge. Choice of sleeping position for infants: possible association with cot death. Arch Dis Childhood 1990;65:462-467.) After publicity against the prone sleeping position, death rates fell 37% in just one year.

So-called maternal smoking harms are really medical deficiencies that are maliciously being blamed on the victims themselves.
Courtesy of Carol Thompson 08/23/93 Smokers' Rights Action Group P.O. Box 259575 Madison, WI 53725-9575 Phone: 608-249-4568

Anti-smokers also falsely blame other poor birth outcomes on maternal smoking. Respiratory Distress Syndrome should not be attributed to smoking because most studies find less RDS among smokers' babies (E Lieberman, J Torday et al. Association of intrauterine cigarette smoke exposure with indices of fetal lung maturation. Obstet Gynecol 1992;79:564-570).

In more rational times, before the anti-tobacco hysteria began in earnest, women who smoked continued to smoke and enjoy other normal pleasures of life without guilt during their pregnancies. Many even smoked during labor to help them relax and take the edge off their pain. If their doctors mentioned smoking at all, it would be to advise them to perhaps cut down if they were heavy smokers, something which most did intuitively because they didn’t “feel” like smoking as much.

But pity the poor North American smoker today who becomes pregnant, because she will be told that if she continues to smoke at all (or have any alcohol or caffeine) during her pregnancy, she is putting her developing fetus at high risk of death or disability.

Nothing could be further from the truth, as the following annotated bibliographies and tables will show.

Though there is considerable evidence showing that on average the babies of women who smoke during pregnancy weigh on average a few ounces less than babies of women who do not smoke and that the rate of low birthweight babies is somewhat higher for smokers, there is no credible evidence for the hyperbolic claims that the babies of smokers have a higher mobidity and mortality rate. Quite the contrary, the babies of women who smoke during pregnancy have a better survival rate ounce for ounce, a somewhat lower rate of congenital defects, a lower rate of Down’s syndrome, a lower rate of infant respiratory distress syndrome and a somewhat lower rate of childhood cancer than do the babies of non-smokers.

Dr. Richard L. Naeye, a leading obstetrical researcher who studied more than 58,000 pregnancies, states unequivocally:

“We recently found no significant association between maternal smoking and either stillbirths or neonatal deaths when information about the underlying disorders, obtained from placental examinations, was incorporated into the analyses. Similar analyses found no correlation between maternal smoking and preterm birth. The most frequent initiating causes of preterm birth, stillbirth, and neonatal death are acute chorioamnionitis, disorders that produce chronic low blood flow from the uterus to the placenta, and major congenital malformations. There is no credible evidence that cigarette smoking has a role in the genesis of any of these disorders.”

[“Cognitive and Behavioral Abnormalities in Children Whose Mothers Smoked Cigarettes during Pregnancy,” Developmental and Behavioral Pediatrics, Dec l992: 13(6); p. 425, emphasis added].

Here.
The Study focused on more than 35,500 people who had never smoked but who had spouses who did. The researchers found that exposure to passive smoking was not associated with deaths from heart disease or lung cancer.

SuperNova.org REOPENS!!!!

The old SuprNova.org returns as NewNova.org It has been a while since we posted a news on the site and that is due to my computer still not working. Right now I took my time to get to a computer and write up this news, since I thought it was quite important. You all remember the old SuprNova.org, right? And most of you were very disappointed when you heard that SuprNova.org was never going to return in its old form. Well, this fact will not change. But I am happy to announce that another site is going to open using the old SuprNova.org code, with some bugs fixed to make it faster. I will try to explain how all of this happened, in a short story. A very good friend of mine who is very good with PHP and scripting has always wanted to run a website like SuprNova.org and he tried making few torrent websites (which I will not name), but he never really managed to get the user base, simply because he lacked the designer skills. Then he asked me if he could use the design of SuprNova.org and we made a deal. Since I know that he will really try his best to keep the site up running and will work towards making his site better, we agreed that he will pay for the hosting of my web servers (current SuprNova.org) for 3 months. So about two months ago, he got the source code of the old SuprNova.org and has modified the code so that it runs faster and does not take so much computer resources, his site is up and running. The new site is called, NewNova.org and it looks exactly like the old SuprNova.org only with a new ownership. I would like to point out that I will have nothing to do with the new website, I might come visit their forums once their are up and running but that is about it. I know that this person is going to do all that he can to keep the site running and to make a nice community. This person asked me to not name him, since he wants to be anonymous (as much as that is possible on the Internet), but I can say that he is quite known in the P2PP2P world. Links: NewNova.org community and that he has always done nothing but positive things for the whole TorrentBits Ratio Injection Vulnerability Source: All TorrentBits based trackers are vulnerable to a 'bug', which makes it possible for anyone to boost up their share ratio infinitely. In order to perform this trick you will need 3 applications: - HTTP Analyzer - Mozilla Firefox - User Agent Switcher Extension - Any BT-client Next step is to install all these programs. The mozilla user agent switcher only will need some setup: Go to: Tools -> User Agent Switcher -> Options -> Options -> User Agents and click on add and write "BitTorrent/3.4.2" After this is done you can go to your favorite private tracker and download any torrent you want. After you've downloaded the torrent open it up but dont start the torrent yet. Next thing to do is open the HTTP Analyzer and click on the arrow next to the green play button, from there choose 'select a process' from there on choose the aplication your using to download torrents and start the capturing of http headers. After this you can start up the torrent file, the BT client will now communicate with the tracker and submit some basic information. The HTTP Analyzer program will capture all the data we need to boost up our ratio. Once the torrent has started and the first headers are captured pauze the torrent and go back to the HTTP Analyzer, from the top field select and copy the url, next thing to do is starting up FireFox After this is done simply paste the url we just copied, but dont press enter yet, first find the part of the url that tells the tracker our upload ammount (in bytes and usualy 0 on first contact), it should look something like this: http://some.tracker/announce.php?info_hash...rted&key=Lxk3cc The part we are interested in is the part it says "uploaded=0", if you want to add 20 GB to your upload ratio then replace the 0 with 21474836480 after that hit enter 1 time and 1 time only. Now go to your private tracker and check your ratio, your upload should have 20 GB's added. You are probably wondering, why we have posted this information on the site? Because instead of just few people knowing it and abusing it, everybody can do it now meaning the coders and scripters will have to find a way to fix the problem now. This bug was found by http://xyflar.blogspot.com/ and written for SuprNova.org by bogaa from meganova.org and changing the user agent with the plugin we've just configured.

F*ck Roadblocks

Encountering A Roadblock (What to expect and how to handle the situation) Roadblocks are usually established in locations that prevent easy avoidance, offer ample parking for interrogating suspected law violators and issuing tickets, and usually in places and during times that will not cause serious traffic tie ups, although there have certainly been exceptions. The stated purposes of roadblocks are usually legalized excuses to stop and scrutinize motorists for which there would otherwise be no reason to do so. These excuses include "sobriety checks," license and registration verification, possession of insurance, proof of citizenship, and seatbelt usage. The desired effect is to establish a sense of fear and intimidation among the population. The pity is that it works, as far as the "desired effect" is concerned. Even if the courts disallow roadblocks for certain purposes, e.g. the recent cases prohibiting roadblocks from being used to identify drug users or couriers, the enforcement agencies just claim another purpose for the roadblocks and it's business as usual. The courts have gone out of their way to allow the police great latitude in what they can do, once they have you stopped and under their control. The point of the above discussion is to suggest that you engage the roadblock process from the standpoint that the current courts find them legal and a legitimate law enforcement tactic. Therefore, there is little to gain by launching into a tirade over the constitutionality of roadblocks, at least while you are stopped at one. However, this is not to say that all your rights are null and void once you enter a roadblock. First, the police do not have the authority to search you or your vehicle, not without probable cause, or at least reasonable suspicion, that you have, or are committing a crime. They may ask your permission for a search---which means they do not have legal grounds to force a search. Never permit a voluntary search of your person or your vehicle. The police may try to cajole you into permitting a search. The old ruse, "if you don't have anything to hide, why object to a search?" should be ignored, or met with a response that you value your right to privacy and do not consent to a search of your vehicle. If, under any set of circumstances, the police force a search of your vehicle, assume the worse case scenario. If they can't find anything illegal in your vehicle, they will place something in your vehicle that will justify their search. This is a sad commentary on the state of affairs, but these events should be expected in a schizophrenic society that employs police state tactics to intimidate common citizens. Often, an involuntary search is preceded by another form of search, the once-over by the urban myth known as the infallible drug sniffing dog. Old Bowser can be relied upon to find drugs anyplace the police want to find drugs. (Yes, the dogs can detect drugs, but they can be easily manipulated or tricked into "sensing" drugs where no drugs exist, at least prior to the roadblock stop.) Most people are so relieved to be allowed to leave after the harrowing experience of having their car ravaged that they never consider launching a civil suit against the police department. If the police are persistent about searching your vehicle, you should be equally persistent in demanding that they specify what illegal item they are looking for and why they think you have it in your vehicle. If they cannot come up with plausible answers to these questions, they do not have legal grounds to even consider searching your car. The courts allow the police to detain drivers for further interrogation, but not for indefinite lengths of time. The courts seem to tolerate 20 minutes of harassment and intimidation and consider that tolerable for a suspected criminal. However, unless you ask to leave, the courts have said the police are under no obligation to tell you can leave. You have to ask, "Am I free to go?" If the police do not have defensible grounds to further detain you, they have to let you leave. There is no greater symbol of a society having lost its bearings than the "sobriety roadblock." It is universally admitted that roadblocks apprehend very few drunk drivers, far fewer than the same allocation of resources could apprehend during regular patrols. Again, the purposes are intimidation, using the stops as a pretence to look for other criminal activity, and to garner public relations points as a "get tough on drunk drivers" agency. DWI roadblocks are usually set up at night and can be quite unnerving with the bright lights, orchestrated show of force, and flashlights thrust in drivers' faces. All the previous comments about searches are applicable to DWI roadblocks. Also, you should not allow any penetration of your vehicle's interior space, that includes sticking a flashlight (often contains an alcohol sensor) through your window. You can be required to show the usual documentation, such as your driver's license, but you do not have to open your window any further than the space to hand it out. You do not have to answer questions about where you have been or where you are going, whether or not you have been drinking or what items are contained in your car. If you are ordered out of your car, lock the door behind you. You do not have to perform any feats of balance, answer quiz questions, or recite the alphabet. In fact we recommend that you respectfully decline to do any of these things. A so-called field sobriety test is conducted for one reason only---to develop probable cause to arrest you for drunk driving. You can not pass a field sobriety test, no matter how sober or gifted you are. If the police believe they have probable cause to charge you with drunk driving, they can coerce you to take some form of breath or chemical test to determine your blood alcohol content. You can refuse, but the penalties for refusal are often as severe as a DWI conviction. When you are first approached at a DWI roadblock, open your window slightly and wait for the officer to make his statement or ask his questions. If he simply offers the canned explanation for the stop and asks to see your license, have it ready to hand to him. If he asks any further questions, you should politely decline to enter into a discussion. Something like; "officer, I really don't approve of roadblocks and I don't care to discuss my affairs" should suffice. If the officer persists, ask for the return of your license and ask if you may leave. It's important not to answer any questions, no matter how harmless. Your willingness to answer some questions, but not others, will raise suspicion. Worse yet is to give incriminating answers to seemingly routine questions. If you set the stage in a manner that it is clear you are not going to answer questions, period, there can be no defensible reason for detaining you, based on what you said. Just answer every question with "I don't wish to discuss my affairs, may I leave now?" By law, you are not obligated to answer these kinds of questions and you cannot be detained because you refuse to chit-chat with the officers at a roadblock. If you have the time, the courage, and the confidence to verbally express your displeasure with being stopped at a roadblock, please do so. It would be a nice change of pace! The police love to report how grateful the citizens are and how motorists appreciate the presence of roadblocks, and how they complement the officers on "being out there and protecting us from the menace of (fill in the blank). This, of course, is largely propaganda. In 1939, the Jews in Germany probably said "thank you" when they were given their yellow stars. Groveling is an ancient response to intimidation by authority.

Popping Tips for Concessionaires We recommend following these ten simple steps to make sure you’re popping up the best tasting concession popcorn possible. Check your ingredients: Pop Weaver® popcorn, oil, and salt (or seasoning). Check your proportions. Always use three parts corn to one part oil. Too much oil will ruin the taste of the popcorn. Preheat your kettle for about four minutes. Add oil and let sit for 15-30 seconds. Add Weaver popcorn and salt or seasoning. Pop for 2-3 minutes or until there is at least two seconds between pops. Dump the popcorn. When dumping the popcorn, never cross your arms in front of the kettle as you reach for the popper. You could get burned. Scoop the popcorn to the front of the popper. Scrape the bottom of the popper. Never scoop on top of the corn because it forces tiny bits of popcorn through the grate. Serve the popcorn by scooping the top inch or so from the popcorn heaped up in the popper. Fill the bag with a wiggling motion. Do not pat the popcorn or try to force more into the bag. source How to make Popcorn First Start - When Popper is cold.1. Turn on the kettle agitator switch (if you have one).2. Turn on the burner/heat switch.3. Pour the properly measured amount of oil into the kettle.4. Take about 10 kernels of raw popcorn and throw them into the kettle that already contains the oil.5. Wait.6. Fill a measuring cup with the proper amount of raw kernels and add a liberal amount of either popcorn salt or Flavacol (butter flavored, colored salt). Most people prefer highly salted popcorn.7. When the 10 kernels of popcorn in the kettle have stopped popping, pour the full contents of the measured corn into the kettle. The popping cycle will last about 3 - 4 minutes.8. When the crackling noise of the popping corn is no longer heard, dump the kettle and empty it completely. Consecutive Pops - When Popper Has Popped Corn Just Before.1. Pour the properly measure amount of Oil into the kettle.2. Wait about 45 seconds - or until the Oil in the kettle starts to smoke slightly.3. Pour the contents of the properly measured corn cup (kernels plus popcorn salt or Flavacol) into the kettle.4. Wait about 2? minutes. If you are using a pan on the stove without an agitator, you must constantly shake gently. When the crackling noise of the popping corn is no longer heard, dump the kettle and empty it completely.5. Repeat if needed for more popcorn.6. When you are finished popping, turn off the kettle agitator switch (if you have one) and turn off the Pilot light/ heat switch.7. After the machine has cooled enough so as not to be dangerously hot, wipe the outside of the kettle with a soft damp cloth. This helps prevent a heavy build-up of the Oil. More Popcorn Tips - Kernels, Oils and Salt Popcorn Kernels: Most popcorn will pop. Some pop better than others do. Our Weaver Hybrid Popcorn is grown and processed for the professional user who demands carefully selected hybrid yellow large kernels producing tender, crispy, almost hull-less popped kernels. Our corn is packaged with moisture content at 13 - 14%, the optimum for good expansion. Retaining the moisture content of fresh corn is imperative for getting the most tender, biggest popped corn and fewest "Old Maid" un-popped kernels. We do not recommend storing kernels in the refrigerator or freezer. Self-defrosting models can actually dry out the kernels. Kernels keep best in an airtight container stored in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat given off by kitchen appliances.Two Tablespoons (1oz.) of un-popped kernels makes about 1 Quart of popped popcorn. One cup of plain, air popped popcorn has about 19 calories. One cup of plain popcorn popped in oil has about 54 calories. Popcorn OilMost domestic cooking oils, such as Corn Oil or Peanut Oil, are satisfactory for popping popcorn. Professional popcorn oils, such as Coconut or Canola, are the best because they are a superb blend of highly refined oil and special seasonings, without the addition of wax. Popcorn Oil insures maximum popability, enhances the flavor of each kernel, and is easily digestible. Popcorn Oil does not require refrigeration - it will not get rancid at room temperature. It will not get sticky on the popper, nor will it burn or smoke at the high temperatures required to pop corn.Coconut Oil is the most common oil used by professionals. It produces the "Movie Theater" taste and smell. It remains solid at room temperature. It is a "fully saturated" popping oil and will not form black varnish inside and outside your kettle. It will not turn rancid as will virtually every "liquid" oil. Because it does not produce a soggy product, popcorn popped in coconut oil will keep for weeks in a tightly sealed container. DO NOT USE butter, margarine or lard to pop corn, as these oils tend to burn and produce excessive smoke when heated to high temperatures.For the best results use four parts kernels to 1 part oil (for example 1Cup popcorn kernels uses ? Cup oil). Popcorn SaltOrdinary table salt can be used to season popcorn, but most table salt is too course and the crystals will not stick to the kernels. The flavor of popcorn can be enhanced by using a fine popcorn salt or Flavacol ( a finely concentrated butter flavored, yellow colored popcorn salt).White salt can be put in the popper with the unpopped kernels or sprinkled on after all kernels are popped. Flavacol must be put in the popper with the un-popped kernels for best results. It works very well in a stove top popper also. You should use about ? tsp. of Flavacol for ? Cup popcorn kernels. How to clean and maintain your Popcorn Machine CleaningThe mixture of Oil and Salt has the tendency to form a hard crust on the metal if not removed immediately; the longer it stays on, the more difficult it is to get off. Most domestic cooking oils are satisfactory but will smoke or burn. Coconut Oil has a higher burning temperature hence will not get sticky on the popper, nor burn or smoke.Have a soft cleaning cloth in a handy position. Get in the habit of always wiping down the kettle after the final dump of popcorn. You can wait until it is just warm if you are worried about burning yourself. Simply wipe the sides and lip of the kettle. This can actually be done at virtually anytime prior to the next time you heat the kettle for a new popping.We carry heavy-duty carbon cleaners that soften and dissolve carbon build up on not only kettles but also other cooking devices. Kleen Sweep is an aerosol product you spray on - wait 15 minutes to 5 hours - then wipe off. Fast Off is a brush on liquid commercial product you brush on - wait 15 minutes to 8 hours then wipe off with a damp cloth. Heat 'n Kleen is a powder used inside the kettle. Just heat a few tablespoons in water and then "steam" you popcorn machine.AT NO TIME SHOULD A KETTLE BE IMMERSED IN WATER. Cleaning the glassStandard window cleaner may be used to clean the popcorn machines glass walls. Never use when there is product in the machine. Be careful of homemade vinegar based cleaners. They leave an odor when heated up. Pop 'n Shine is an excellent product that cuts the grease and leaves no streaking. MaintenanceYour popper, as any other machine needs attention if it is to function properly. You can do your share by oiling the motor at least once a year - more often if you use the popper frequently: go over it occasionally and tighten screws, bolts, and nuts, which might have come loose.However, like your car, your popper will need a general overhaul after at least 2 years. A professional kettle clean can make your popper look brand new!It is cheaper to spend a few dollars to have your equipment gone over than to have to buy new equipment.

Protection For File Sharers

The majority of the Methlabs.org administration and development team
have been forced out of their website following a series of threats and
incidents. The member of the group that had been trusted to handle the
finances and servers slowly managed to take over each individual part of
the web site's assets, eventually claiming control over the entire
group and locking out the majority of staff.

The organisation's founders, Tim Leonard and Ken McKelland, as well as
the majority of the organisation's staff and developers (including the
main developer of the PeerGuardian2 application, Cory Nelson and the
staff members responsible for auditing the PeerGuardian Blocklists) have
all been forcibly removed from the servers that were funded from
donations given to the organisation by happy users, and from text advertising
placed on the websites forum and project pages.

The money, which was to have been used to help fund the development and
hosting costs of the group is now unavailable, stolen by the one who
was trusted to keep it.

Development of PeerGuardian will resume, and the website will
temporarily move to http://peerguardian.sourceforge.net/ until a new domain is
registered and a new server found. The intention of the group is to
register a non-profit organisation to handle the development of Methlabs
applications and to promote open source projects that aid both security,
privacy and peer-to-peer technologies, in order to prevent a repeat of
this incident.

The team wish all their users the best through this difficult time, but
promise that development will continue. Please visit
http://peerguardian.sf.net/ for news as we make progress. All other
sites, including http://methlabs.org and http://blocklist.org, are under
control of the rogue member and should not be trusted for safe updates
to our applications or lists.

A new build of PeerGuardian will be released soon to reflect these
changes. Until then we ask you to continue using Beta 6a but with caution
as the update servers are no longer under our control.

All staff are available in irc.freenode.net, channel #methlabs if you
wish to chat.

Why Government Spending is ALWAYS Wrong!

What Is Seen and What Is Not Seen**1 In the economic sphere an act, a habit, an institution, a law produces not only one effect, but a series of effects. Of these effects, the first alone is immediate; it appears simultaneously with its cause; it is seen. The other effects emerge only subsequently; they are not seen; we are fortunate if we foresee them. 1.1 There is only one difference between a bad economist and a good one: the bad economist confines himself to the visible effect; the good economist takes into account both the effect that can be seen and those effects that must be foreseen. 1.2 Yet this difference is tremendous; for it almost always happens that when the immediate consequence is favorable, the later consequences are disastrous, and vice versa. Whence it follows that the bad economist pursues a small present good that will be followed by a great evil to come, while the good economist pursues a great good to come, at the risk of a small present evil. 1.3 The same thing, of course, is true of health and morals. Often, the sweeter the first fruit of a habit, the more bitter are its later fruits: for example, debauchery, sloth, prodigality. When a man is impressed by the effect that is seen and has not yet learned to discern the effects that are not seen, he indulges in deplorable habits, not only through natural inclination, but deliberately. 1.4 This explains man's necessarily painful evolution. Ignorance surrounds him at his cradle; therefore, he regulates his acts according to their first consequences, the only ones that, in his infancy, he can see. It is only after a long time that he learns to take account of the others.**2 Two very different masters teach him this lesson: experience and foresight. Experience teaches efficaciously but brutally. It instructs us in all the effects of an act by making us feel them, and we cannot fail to learn eventually, from having been burned ourselves, that fire burns. I should prefer, in so far as possible, to replace this rude teacher with one more gentle: foresight. For that reason I shall investigate the consequences of several economic phenomena, contrasting those that are seen with those that are not seen. The Rest Here.

Waffle House® Waffles

Waffle House® Waffles It was two friendly Atlanta, Georgia neighbors who got together in 1955 to build the first Waffle House in their eventual 1200-restaurant chain. With the dimpled breakfast hotcake as a signature item (and this is 3 years before IHOP was founded!), the privately-held chain grew into 20 Southern U.S. states. Today tasty food at rock-bottom prices, plus 24-hours-a-day service, makes Waffle House a regular stop for devoted customers any time of the day or night. And don't even think about referring to your server as a waitress; they're called "associates." For the best clone of the 45-year-old secret formula for these waffles you really should chill this batter overnight in the fridge as they do in each of the restaurants. But, hey, sometimes you just can't wait, right? If you need instant gratification, the recipe still works fine if you cook up the waffles the same day. At least wait for 15-20 minutes after you make the batter so that it can rest and thicken a bit. That'll give you time to search for the waffle iron and heat it up. Also, you might need some time to dust it off. 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour 1 teaspoon salt 1/2 teaspoon baking soda 1 egg 1/2 cup plus 1 tablespoon granulated sugar 2 tablespoons butter, softened 2 tablespoons shortening 1/2 cup half & half 1/2 cup milk 1/4 cup buttermilk 1/4 teaspoon vanilla 1. Combine flour, salt and baking soda in a medium bowl. Stir to combine. 2. Lightly beat the egg in another medium bowl. Add the sugar, butter, and shortening and mix well with an electric mixer until smooth. Add the half & half, milk, buttermilk and vanilla. Mix well. 3. Add the dry flour mixture to the wet mixture while beating. Mix until smooth. 4. Cover and chill overnight. (You can use batter right away if you like, but a good 12-hour chill makes the batter better.) 5. Rub a light coating of vegetable oil on a waffle iron. Preheat the waffle iron. Leave the batter out of the refrigerator to warm up a bit as your waffle iron is preheating. 6. Spoon 1/3 to 1/2 cup of batter into the waffle iron and cook for 3 to 4 minutes or until the waffles are light brown. Makes 6 waffles.
