As the crucial CyberVille vote nears, the Phantom falls victim to the hypnotic power of 2040's most popular singer and learns the terrifying secret of the Maximum Era.
The Phantom learns that 2040's hottest singer, VainGloria, is being used by Rebecca Madison to brainwash the children of Metropia's City Council members in an attempt to have the Councilors vote to approve CyberVille. The Phantom spoils the attempt only to learn that VainGloria was a distraction. While the Phantom went after VainGloria, Rebecca "fixed" the Council vote through bribery.
After the groundbreaking ceremony for CyberVille's construction, the Phantom finally confronts Rebecca face to face. The Phantom has learned that CyberVille is actually part of Rebecca's plan to bring on the Maximum Era (a reconfiguration of the Earth's polluted ecosystem which will result in the deaths of all people not protected within the safe confines of CyberVille). Though he is enraged enough to kill Rebecca there and then, the Phantom follows the dictates of Phantom justice and lets Rebecca live, though he swears he will stop her and her plan to decimate the Earth.
That night, back in the Lair, the 24th Phantom recites the Phantom's Pledge for the first time, taking his place among all the other Phantoms in the fight against injustice and evil.

Occupational Safety and Health Data Collection and Injury Prevention Work Group
- February 15, 2006:
Occupational Safety and Health Data Collection and Injury Prevention Work Group
Bureau of Labor Standards First Floor Training Room February 15, 2006 10:00 - 11:30 A.M.
Present: William Peabody, Chair (Maine Department of Labor), Gary Baxter (Maine Employers Mutual Insurance Company), Brad Brown (Maine Bureau of Insurance), Peter Doran (Maine Occupational Research Agenda), John Rioux, Vice Chair (Maine Department of Labor), Stephanie Jazlowiecki (McTeague-Higbee), Jeff Levesque (Workers' Compensation Board), Kim Lim (Maine Department of Labor), Louise Morang (Maine Association of Occupational Nurses), John Rioux (Maine Department of Labor), Carol Tompkins (Cannon Cochran Management Services, Inc.), Dave Wacker (Maine Department of Labor), and Leslie Walleigh (Workplace Health).
Absent: Brian Doe (Hannaford), Al May (Bureau of Health), Steve Minkowsky (Workers' Compensation Board), Vanessa Santarelli (Maine Department of Labor), Stefanie LaRose (Canon Cochran Management Services, Inc.),
Staff: Terry Hathaway (Maine Department of Labor) & Ted Bradstreet (Maine Department of Labor)
William Peabody, Chair, called the Occupational Safety and Health Data Collection and Injury Prevention Work Group to order at 10:01 A.M.
January 25, 2006 Minutes. After a correction in the first line on page 3, adding the word "be" before sent, Jeff Levesque made a motion to approve the minutes with the correction. The motion was seconded by Dave Wacker. Vote, unanimous.
Report to Legislature – Bill Peabody. The report to the Legislature is at printing. Leslie said that although she had asked that the Legislative Report be sent to the Health and Human Services Committee, she has found out that it might not be appropriate. Bill will discuss with someone higher up the line to find out the protocol.
Data & Prevention Subgroups Update.
Data Subgroup – John Rioux. John and Ann Beaulieu (Maine Department of Labor) attended a meeting with the Internal EDI Committee at Workers' Compensation. They are working on EDI rules. John came away with a better idea of the EDI data elements. Needs will be addressed. Cost data and wage information will be brought over to the database at the Workers' Compensation Board. The Workers' Compensation Report Flow and EDI transfer is being discussed.
The Data Subgroup discussed how to standardize the M-1 Form (Workers' Compensation). It was suggested that the group look at ergonomic and MSD cases to see if the data tells anything over a period of time. In terms of prevention, the group could check into existing statistics to see what they might show.
Prevention Subgroup – Dave Wacker. The Prevention Subgroup discussed developing a survey for small employers. A draft will be submitted at the next Prevention Subgroup meeting as well as the next meeting of the entire group. Brad Brown will provide MOD 2 information at the next meeting.
Legislative Update – Bill Peabody. Bill will be attending a legislative work session tomorrow afternoon concerning workplace violence. There will be a work group and Bill may call on members of this group to help with the report.
Bill stated it is a quiet year. There is one Bill before the Legislature, which requires contractors who are working on State projects have the OSHA 10-hour training.
Planning the Year – John Rioux. John handed out the Work Plan from the last meeting. He asked members for input – setting standards for insurers offering consultation and training. If folks come up with more tasks, let John know.
Also, John handed out a matrix from Al May for the group for the upcoming year, which has columns for the Tasks, the Key Individuals, and Due Dates (the meeting dates are listed in the Matrix).
John discussed that the deadline for the next year's annual Legislative Report would be November 15, 2006 to allow the report to go through the approval process. The Data and Prevention Subgroups should complete their work by the October meeting to allow time for approval and any clean-up.
Jeff needs a letter of support from the group for him to do an EDI analysis of the system's reporting structures. He will report to the group at the July 19th meeting.
Other. Dave explained the SafetyWorks Training Institute (STI), which has moved to the Department of Transportation (DOT) building in Fairfield on Route 201. STI is on the second floor. He explained that the furniture has been moved from the First Floor Training Room. There will be an open house on February 21st at 9:30 AM. The BLS offices will also be moving by September, either the old Digital plant in North Augusta or the Carleton Woolen building in Winthrop.
Leslie asked if the work group could change the next meeting date from March 15th to March 22nd as the Maine Indoor Air Quality Conference is slated for March 15th. Bill said that Terry will poll the membership and let them know.
Bill asked the group if there are any presentations they would like in the near future. At the current time, OSHA is on "hold". If the subgroup chairs can think of any presentations by outsiders, they should notify Bill.
Peter asked how can the work group impact prevention? John suggested by improving the reporting process. Peter also brought up schools. Bill stated that the Bureau had been working with some of the school systems. There are specific problems, assaults. Dave and his group are meeting with schools. Leslie suggested the inappropriate placement of students in schools (mainstreaming).
John will modify the work plan and send it out to the group.
Next Meeting. The next regularly scheduled meeting may be held on Wednesday, March 15, 2006, at 10:00 to 11:30 AM, in the First Floor Training Room or on Wednesday, March 22nd, depending on the outcome of the poll. The Data and Prevention Subgroups will meet at 9:00 prior to the work group meeting.
Adjournment. Bill Peabody adjourned the meeting at 11:30 AM. Respectfully submitted,
Terry M. Hathaway Recording Secretary

Come visit us in our "Ohana" (Hawaiian for family) guest cabin.
It's a perfect base for exploring all of Southwest Colorado, while enjoying everything Vallecito Lake has to offer! This is a newer lovely studio with a complete island kitchen. Enjoy a fire in the glass front wood-stove set on the river-rock wall.
Just perfect for newlyweds or for a romantic getaway. The aspen covered ceilings are vaulted, and it's definitely decorated "Colorado" with a little "pilot's lounge" touch. You can enjoy the large patio with BBQ and umbrella tables over-looking the garden and yard area surrounded by mountain views.
Walk up to the view deck for boat watching on the lake. It's just a beautiful setting - we haven't had any regretful travelers in the few years it's been rented, so we welcome you to beautiful Vallecito Lake!
Durango is just 35 minutes away with all the fine dining and tourist attractions you could want. Take a day trip on the Durango & Silverton Narrow Gauge Railway or to mysterious Mesa Verde National Park. Go white water rafting or just shop at the charming stores on Main Avenue.
Owners are on site in the main house and will assist you with as much or as little travel help as you desire.
Our main house is also available throughout July. Click on the website below under "Links to more information" "property website" to see all the details and photos!
Keywords: Cabin
We found Vallecito Lake in 1989 while on a "wild west" vacation with family. We were astounded at the beauty at the lake, and loved the convenience of Durango for shopping and dining. We purchased our land in 1993 after coming back from California a couple of times, then built the home in 1996. We added the "Ohana" guest house in 2003. We have since moved up here and semi-retired, and also maintain a home in Phoenix.
Nancy Walb purchased this cabin in 2003
We're vacation renting our home mainly because we want others to experience the magic, beauty and tranquility that we have found at Vallecito Lake, CO.
We love nature hikes and looking for edible mushrooms, ATV'ing, fishing on the lake, bike riding and just being at home to BBQ a great meal!

Anglers, take note: Autumn in Missouri offers some of the best fishing around. Thanks to our many creeks, rivers, streams and lakes, Missouri offers countless fishing opportunities. Whether you're seeking that massive bass or just want to spend a relaxing day on the water, you'll find your perfect fishing trip in the Show-Me State.
NOTE: Some Missouri State Parks have restrictions on campfires and open burning. Contained charcoal fires used for cooking, as well as gas and cook-top stoves, are allowed. Check the State Parks camping webpage or call ahead for updates.
Fall is spawning season for brown trout, and you'll find plenty of these fish in the clear waters of Lake Taneycomo. Brown trout and rainbow trout make their home in this lovely lake, which borders the eastern and southern edges of Branson. Cast your line into the crisp water and get ready to brag about your amazing catch.
At Maramec Spring Park, abundant trout populate the cool waters of the Meramec River. Located six miles east of St. James, the park contains the fifth largest spring in Missouri. Facilities include a store, a cafe, shelters, campgrounds, and the ruins of the 1826 Maramec Iron Works. Although the park is privately owned, the trout area is administered and stocked by the Missouri Department of Conservation. Downstream from Meramec Spring Park, outside the park's boundary, a favorite destination for avid trout fishermen (and women) is the designated Red Ribbon Trout Area on the Meramec River.
About eight miles west of Warsaw, Harry S Truman State Park welcomes park-goers with beautiful fall colors. The park's location on a peninsula makes it a great fishing destination. Cast your line from the shore or set sail from the marina. In addition to fishing, Truman State Park provides a lovely place to hike, camp, nature watch and savor a picnic.
Graham Cave State Park, three miles outside the township of Danville, serves as a wonderful fishing destination and a fascinating trip back in time. People made their home in Graham Cave more than 10,000 years ago. Today, you can learn about these early inhabitants, thanks to the park's excellent historical exhibits. Take a peaceful hike through the park and explore the mouth of the cave. The 386-acre park includes access to the Loutre River, for excellent fishing.

GONZALES, La (NBC33) – A two-year old died late in the night on Wednesday, Jan. 12 because her godparents abused her.
Sunday, Jan. 9, two-year old Jaylynn Muse was brought to Our Lady of the Lake Hospital by her godparents Terrell and Shantell Donahue. Jaylynn had been in their care for three days. When she was brought to the hospital, doctors discovered the child was bleeding from the brain.
Juvenile detectives learned that Shantell Donahue, 28, slapped the child on the hand to discipline her. When she began to cry, her husband, Terrell Watts, 27, punched the child a number of times in the stomach, causing her to fall backwards and hit her head. Upon arrival to the hospital, doctors were not sure she would survive. Today, Jaylynn passed away. Shantell and Terrell Donahue were arrested for Second Degree Murder.

When I first put this on I thought I had found my HG concealer. My hyperpigmentation scars were covered and my skin looked flawless. Then l looked at my face in a lighted mirror and the truth was revealed: not only was it super cakey, but it seemed to settle into every single pore and made them look HUGE. It looked even worse in the sunlight. It's also pretty hard to work with as it dries super fast. Plus, they only have 4 shades to choose from. I'm still using it to offset the dark yellow of the Mary Kay concealer I recently bought in my ongoing quest for the perfect concealer, but even combined with that it still sinks into my pores. I really wanted to like this concealer, but I definitely won't be buying it again.
I gave this a try since the reviews were so great and the sound of an oil-free long lasting concealer that covers fully drew my attention and so did the price. At Ulta there was a buy 1 get 1 sale so i got this and something else. I have to say I was impressed! Ive tried so many different concealers since I am obsessed with concealer and this one goes on so creamy but delivers great coverage. Also, it's hard to find a concealer that won't break you out and this one doesn't! It's also fantastic for dark circles! I'm going to try the Age Rewind double ended one next!
While I adore my MAC and Time Balm, I am always looking for something better, cheaper and easier to purchase. I picked this up in Medium Beige as Maybelline was BOGO 50% off and I had gone in to buy the primer. This color matches my NW25-30 skin near perfectly and applies seamlessly. It does last 14+ hours on me without getting cakey or creasing. Doesn't make me breakout and covers slight imperfections nicely. I find I do have to blend this in quickly otherwise it becomes difficult to work with, and while the doe-foot applicator is convenient and "hygienic" (it's just me using it!!!) I prefer pots because I use my own brush. I would give it a 4 and a half as it is near perfect...but alas it doesn't quite get that status. I just like having this to use for my everyday look as I don't have to use up my expensive stuff. This is a great concealer and I will be repurchasing this one again.
More reviews by breathecaroline
It was an okay product. It had decent coverage. But, I had two very big problems with it. First problem: They have a very limited color selection so I could only use it under my eyes because it was too light for the rest of my face. (I got it in cream. The next darkest color was way too dark.) Which is a big bummer for me, because I'm looking for a concealer I can use for my under eye bags as well as blemishes and redness. Second problem: It dries SO QUICKLY. Usually when I put on my concealer, I dot it over the places I need it, then blend it out. With this concealer, I can't do that. Once I put it on my skin, I have to quickly blend it out before it dries and becomes impossible to even move around. Also, it can look extremely cakey. Usually when I wear this concealer, I have to dot a little bit of my foundation over it to make it not look as cakey. Overall, I don't think I'll be buying this product again.
I love this concealer! I have tried so many high end and drugstore concealers. My biggest request is that they not emphasize the baby fine lines under my eyes. I use Clarins Instant Smooth primer under all of my concealers, so it's important that any concealer I use play nice with the Clarin's (MUFE and NARS do not BTW).
I have this concealer in the shade Cream. It comes in a tube with a doefoot applicator.
I don't really have dark circles, but do like to have decent coverage under my eyes to help give me that well-rested look. I feel like this concealer delivers exactly what I want. I've been using MAC's Select Moisture Cover Concealer (NW20) and I do still love the MAD for a lighter coverage than the Superstay gives me.
*Super creamy consistency
*VERY pigmented
*Doesn't settle into fine lines
*Blends wonderfully with all of my frequently used foundations and TM's (Lancome Tiente Idole Ultra in Bisque 2, LM TM in Nude, EL DW Light in intensity 3, and Maybelline Superstay 24 hour in Nude)
*Cheap cheap cheap
*Hasn't broken me out (yet)
*Not a wide color range
*a little goes a LONG way
*takes a bit longer to set up than MAC
I use this concealer when I want more coverage than my MAC will give me. I'd say I use them both equally. This is a little more difficult to blend than my MAC, but I am in love with the consistency! It's so creamy and sets up so well! It doesn't budge at all especially when I set it with a powder.

I bought this along with the foundation in a set on clearance at Target awhile ago, and it was the last one so I got it despite the fact that it was one shade to light. So I don't use this as a concealer, I use it as a eyeshadow primer and it works well. I want to get it in the right shade so I can try it as a concealer, but for now this will do, it is lighter than my skin tone, so it works well for my lids and it evens out any darkness I any have on them. It keeps my shadow in place longer, and doesn't interfere with the color of my shadows. So far I like this, and can't wait to try it as a concealer....

I love this concealer!!! I have tried so many brands from drugstore to high end and this is the only one that does what is supposed to do. It covers really well, blends easily and stays put for hours! I am slightly oily in the t-zone and this area is usually where I have a need for concealer. I put it on any blemish or red spot early in the morning and it lasts me straight through to the evening. The consistency is not too thick or too thin. It's just creamy enough without being greasy feeling and although I am sensitive to a lot of ingredients this has not caused breakouts. It says 24HR on the tube and I don't know if it would last that long but I am extremely impressed with this concealer. I don't have any under eye issues so I have not tried it there. I wear NC20 in MAC and chose the ivory shade for this concealer. It's a bit light, but once it's blended and I apply loose powder and blush it's undetectable. This is definitely HG for me and because drugstore companies pull their products so quickly, I am definitely stocking up in case this is discontinued.

24 hours? How about two?! This product definitely didn't live up to its claims of long-lasting concealer on my skin. It faded quickly, even when worn over foundation AND under powder, and it caked up under my nose, even though I don't overapply. I guess the search continues to find a lasting concealer...

This is a great concealer at a great price. I have recently gotten sick of paying a ton of money on cosmetics, so I've been on the hunt to find drug store brands that are comparable to my department store staples. I have been a devoted fan of Origin's Quick Hide! concealer, up until I discovered this little Maybelline gem. Superstay works just as good as my old Origins concealer, at less than half the cost.
Superstay does not crack or settle into lines at all. Where ever you put it is where it will stay until you wash it off. The bottle says that it has 24 hour staying power, and I believe it! Works great for hiding both blemishes and dark under-eye circles. Looks totally natural and flawless. Definitely glad I gave this one a try.

I figured I was perimenopausal with the way I've been feeling for quite awhile. I'm in my forties, so it's to be expected. Anyway, I had hormone blood tests done, and it seems I'm not near menopause at this stage, so does this rule out perimenopause? I'm not sure.
But, I did find out I have Hashimoto's, which is a thyroid disease that causes hypothyroidism, which explains a lot of my symptoms. Depression, extreme anxiety, feeling like a ton of bricks fell on me, etc. Maybe there is some perimenopause symptoms mixed in, for good measure (sarcasm because I'm tired of feeling this way). Maybe some of you guys are experiencing some thyroid problems, too, because some of the symptoms I read here points to it. |

dee, yes hypothyroidism does have some symptoms that are very similar to perimenopausal symptoms. I'm almost 53 and my doctor says my hormone levels are not yet showing any signs of approaching menopause, so I keep thinking it's thyroid disease! But my thyroid levels are always normal, so it's frustrating to think "gee, imagine how much worse I'll feel when I become menopausal, or if I do get thryroid disease. My mother and all my sisters have thyroid disease, so I think I'm going to ask my doctor to do more specific blood tests, because I've heard you can have certain thyroid antibodies that cause symptoms, while still maintaining a normal thyroid level. Hope you'll feel better once your thyroid medication kicks in. |
pickyshopper, that's exactly right. My thyroid test (TSH) always indicated I was 'normal'. Finally I asked for the full thyroid panel including Free T3, Free T4 and the antibodies, and it showed I have the Hashimoto's which was indicated by the high antibodies. Thanks for your well-wishes. |

Arizona Coyotes
By the Numbers: Coyotes lead wire-to-wire against Penguins
The up-and-down Phoenix Coyotes added another one to the up column Saturday.
After alternating wins and losses in their past five games, the Coyotes put together a strong all-around effort to beat the Eastern Conference-leading Pittsburgh Penguins 3-1 at Jobing.com Arena Saturday.
Here's a closer look at the win by the numbers:
Coyotes defenseman Zbynek Michalek's goal at the 10:50 mark of the second period was his first of the season, and first since March of 2012.
Coyotes President and CEO Anthony Leblanc tweeted that the Coyotes set the franchise's regular-season single-game revenue record for the second time this season.
Saturday's win over Pittsburgh marked the Coyotes' 20th win this season when scoring first -- improving them to 20-7-3.
The Coyotes landed 26 hits on Pittsburgh, dominating the physicality battle 26-17.
Phoenix center Mike Ribeiro's goal at the 12:42 mark of the first period gave the Coyotes an early 1-0 lead, and also marked his 200th career goal.
Saturday's attendance of 17,342 -- an over-capacity sellout -- marked Phoenix's second-largest crowd of the season, behind only a New Year's Eve contest against the Edmonton Oilers, which drew 17,416.

Baked Stuffed Artichokes With Pecorino
Photo: psfreeman
Eat the stuffing, heart, and stem with a knife and fork; dip the outer leaves in vinaigrette, if desired. Recipe by Charlyne Mattox: April, 2011 from the Real Simple website: http://www.realsimple.com/food-recipes/browse-all-recipes/baked-stuffed-artichokes-pecorino-00000000054482/index.html.
Yield: 4 servings
Community Recipe from
Recipe Time
Prep Time:
Cook Time:
- 4 ounce(s) baguette or country bread, torn into large pieces
- 1/2 cup(s) grated pecorino cheese (2 ounces)
- 2 tablespoon(s) olive oil, plus more for brushing leaves
- 2 tablespoon(s) chopped fresh chives, plus more for serving
- Kosher salt and black pepper
- 2 artichokes
- Vinaigrette (optional)
- 1. Heat oven to 400° F. In a food processor, pulse the bread until pea-size crumbs form (you should have about 1 ½ cups). Transfer the crumbs to a medium bowl and toss with the pecorino, oil, chives, and ¼ teaspoon pepper.
- 2. With a vegetable peeler, peel the stems of the artichokes. With a serrated knife, slice off and discard the top third of each artichoke, then halve each artichoke lengthwise through the choke (the fuzzy fibers at the center of the artichoke) and stem. Using a spoon, scoop out and discard the choke and thorny inner petals.
- 3. Place the artichoke halves cut-side up in a baking dish and season with ½ teaspoon salt. Brush the edges of the leaves with oil. Dividing evenly, fill with the bread crumb mixture, mounding slightly. Pour enough water into the dish to reach ¾ inch up the sides. Tightly cover the dish with foil.
- 4. Bake until the artichokes are tender, 45 to 60 minutes. Uncover and bake until the crumbs are golden, 5 to 7 minutes more. Sprinkle with more chives. Serve with the vinaigrette for dipping, if desired.

Hello. Happy Spring! =D
Last fall, my neighbor cut down all of his monster pine trees along our property line (thank goodness!!). My house sits higher on a hill than his does, and it also sits farther forward, so without those trees, things look pretty bare, not to mention that now there's no privacy buffer between our houses (and now you can actually see onto my backporch from the road). I'm not much of a wooden fence person. My neighbor and I get along very well, so I certainly don't want him to think that I'm putting up a "spite fence". But I do have young children and a little more privacy would be nicer, especially from the road. I would like to put in a hedge or row of shrubs of some kind on my side of the property lin . I think that would make both of our houses look nice. I don't know much about shrubs/hedges/trees, so could you give me some ideas? I would really like something that flowers all summer or something with variagated foliage - anything that's pretty to look at all summer and not just plain green, if possible. They don't have to be tall, but if they are tall growers, that's OK. I have quite a length to hedge, so I could even alternate different kinds. I live in Ohio. My zone is technically Zn 5 at the top of the Ohio Valley, but I'm really right on the border of 4 and 5. The area is full sun. (I have already begun to re-balance the soil from the pine trees). Thank you. =D |

Hi livingdedgrrl, This side of this forum doesn't get much action but possibly others will post too. I don't know of anything that really blooms all summer, so alternating things does sound like a good idea. I would assume that you would want something fairly fast growing, right? You might check out the link below, and maybe do a search on hedge, or hedge sun. Have you maybe thought about some tall grasses? Or Bamboo!...You might check out the Bamboo Forum to see if there is anything tall that is hardy in your area/zone. I know lots of then can be invasive though, so that is to be considered.

Annabelle Hydrangea does ok in full sun for me and blooms a long time for a shrub. I came across the link below when I was looking for zone information on it. There's a pink form now that looks interesting. The reblooming fragrant lilac sounds like a winner too. Lonicera Sempervirens (Coral Honeysuckle) is a very long blooming VINE if you want to consider putting up something for it to climb on. 'Alabama Crimson' is a good cultivar with bright red flowers that attract hummingbirds. This type of honeysuckle is native and not invasive like Japanese honeysuckle. |

JWoww says that having a baby has put a halt to her sex life.
Recently, JWoww made an appearance on the HollywoodLife podcast, in which she admits that since she and her husband Roger have had their daughter Meilani, they've barely had any sex at all!
JWoww admits that she's ready to kick her sex life back into high gear, but their 6-month-old daughter, Meilani, is still sleeping in bed with her and her husband, and it's taken a major toll on their sex life.
JWoww said on the HollywoodLife podcast that despite the major lack of sex in her relationship with Roger, he's totally fine with it!
"I always say I want to get her in her crib by 8 or 9 months. He said if this is going to kill my sex life, I'll let it kill my sex life. She sleeps with her hands on his face."

So my wife got me a cheese making kit for Christmas and I am finally able to give it a try Sunday. I am going to make a farmhouse cheddar, from Home Cheese Making 3rd Edition by Ricki Carroll. Given my propensity to overdue just about anything I take a shining to I built a cheese press today. It only cost me about $35 so my wife thinks we got off easy so far.
Awesome. How long will it take before its ready to eat? I bought my wife the cheap mozzarella kit and she made two batches and lost interest. I've been a little too intimidated to try anything else yet
That looks crazy. Have the rennet and culture in freezer. Its funny. I can make beer. But cheeze is making me go huh? Report your results. Errors and triumphs when yiu make
Brew on folks!
Welcome to cheesemaking, snccoulter! I got in about seven years ago...it's awesome! If you keep everything clean, follow the recipe, and use decent ingredients, you'll be fine, everytime. You might not be 100% on style, especially at first...but I've never had a cheese turn out inedible. Take the plunge, get the process started...then, Relax, don't worry, and pair some homemade cheese with a homebrew! (RDWAPSHCWIAH? It might catch on!)
Boreal Brewer -"Son, you can't sing or dance, I don't like your writing, and you can't draw a picture to save your life. But you make a fine beer!" An 80 year old friend
The Farmhouse Cheddar should be ready in about a month. Why let a little bit of curdled milk intimidate you. I plan on making salami here soon also. What is more fun fun than Beer Cheers and Salami.
How do you know how much pressure you are applying?
The book tells you what you need to know as to when to put presser 10 lbs for 10 min then 20 lbs for 10 min the 50 lbs for 12 to 16 hours... for this cheese so far it has been easy.. i have it hanging right now.
I am going to get some other springs here in a few days. I thought the springs I had would work but they are to strong 50 lbs is about 1/4 inch compression. What I did was place a scale on it and start compressing the springs. I am going to build a scale so I can track the compression therefore track the pressure being applied. Today I went with good an firm for the 50 lbs that it will sit under tonight...

166 km away, but certainly worth the travelling, you will find the 'Eternal City' of Rome which is one of the top cities for sightseeing in the whole world.
The Fioritura di Castelluccio is an amazing sight - a multicolored carpet of beautiful flowers, which is particularly fabulous between May and July.
The nearby Norcia is a lovely town which sits within the stunning countryside. It is known for its speciality hams made from wild boar, known as Norcineria.
The Sibillini National Park is a great place to explore for a day out. There is a panoramic drive from Monte Monaco, along the crest of the 2175 metre Monti Sibilla. The National Park is now protected because of its host of rare wildflowers and orchids.
At the zoo at Citta della Domenica the animals live in their natural environment. There is a separate reptile house plus many nature trails to allow you to escape.
For a sightseeing adventure take a trip to Spoleto which has a host of fabulous Roman buildings and a magnificent 12th century Duomo. Or visit Assisi, the home of some of the finest churches and religious artefacts in the world.
Cascate delle Marmore is 63 km away, and it too has areas of outstanding beauty. It is home to the highest waterfall in Europe which you have to see, as well as the botanical gardens in the Lower Outlook. There are lots of walking routes here and a number of sports are on offer.

Figured I could shed some light on the scenario seeing I deliver these tanks for a living. First propane does not expand at an exorbitant rate like most gases when going from a liquid to a gas state. Yet propane still offers an explosion risk, our plant in PA had a 100lb. tank let go on them and set off a chain reaction of cylinder explosions due to fire which let to tanks being found up to a 3/4 mile away. The real risk is leaks which increased outside temperatures can create on a tank that normal at room temperature. CO2 expands at an unbelievable rate, and due to the fact that it is packaged as a liquid in the cylinder it has plenty of fuel for expansion on an extremely hot day. Yet, my guess would be the tank and subsequent safety was nearing test date or out of date because a temperature of 100 degrees rarely (but obviously will) create a rupture disc to fail. Our tanks are stored in storage container's in the middle of the yard and never fail, granted the northeast is not known for its balmy temps but still. Transportation is always recommended for a non-passenger compartment of the vehicle. Even I won't travel with it in the cab of my personal truck and I consider CO2 mundane after dealing with the assorted, more dangerous gas I deal with all day. This far into this I feel like I have wasted too much time yammering on about a mundane topic to begin with, sorry. Side note on Nitrous. Those tanks are made to handle the temperature extremes of being in a vehicle. You can check the maximum temperature of any tank you own, excluding propane, acetylene, etc.. Look for a DOT number, and in that vicinity there should be a four digit number, normally around 2500 - 2750, that is the maximum pressure the tank is rated for when built.
OSHA Hazmat Technician and gas specialist with Airgas.
We have tanks that have test date stamps back to the 1880's. If it continually passes hydro testing it will continue to be put into use. The US Navy tanks are among the oldest tanks out there, the typical "birthdate" of most of the tanks out there now range from 1940 - 1960, with the exception of most of the aluminum CO2 cyl's most of you have. I have an interesting fact to your WWII reference. The company that owned my location prior was Linde Gas, which was the number one worldwide supplier for a long time till recently. Their production facility for the tanks themselves was in Germany during Hitlers' rein which required Linde to stamp every tank with the Swastika. To this day, as my buddy found one just two weeks ago, you can still locate some tanks that have not been edited to delete the Swastika. If you ever get a tank that has a box with four little boxes next to some of the older stamp dates, that tank was stamped with a Swastika which means it made its way Hilter controlled areas during that time. I am such a gas nerd.
1880's? That is so cool. I like my aluminum tank and all, but that is pretty neat.

Thanks FREE EAGLE for your replies, straight from someone who knows about cylinders. I have some old ones from an old time iron worker, one with the boxed Swastika added and it passes hydro with ease as well my 1952 scuba tank. Scuba tank I keep stored at app 2-300 psi, was told the steel is like a rubber band and is relaxed and the steel will stay more elastic. True I haven't a clue but told from a long time bottle delivery driver. On the Co2 if it released in the car even when secured in the back seat the Co2 buildup would make your body stop breathing just like someone knocked the wind out of you. The trigger system in you throat would cause this, I know as we used to have Co2 bottle fights. Yes stupid when young around aircraft in the early 70's. Best part was the Navy always had emptied Co2 bottles once a month, we would release a few into cardboard boxes to quick chill a couple 6-packs. This during Nam as a civilian A&P helping the Navy. They never could figure why the bottles ended up empty once a month. Just after the last holiday I met a Blue Rino propane delivery driver, he said his yards in the California central valley and has filled tanks sitting for weeks in the sun without any problems and we're talking 108*F last week alone. Made me laugh on the reply about transporting a Co2 bottle on the motorcycle, JATO comes to mind? I have seen 260/280 cu/ft sized bottles that had their tops cut off before the neck taper then inverted and made into deep sounding gongs in those fancy big buck nature stores. With 2" square tube, short chain and a leather covered stick full of sand all with that rusty natural look for $975. I think I found a use for a couple of "no one owns bottles" I have laying around, job for Mr. plasma cutter. They're safe old helium bottles.

The Road to Freedom: An Interview with Walter Block
[This article is excerpted from The Privatization of Roads and Highways.]
Question:Suppose the state is taken out of the equation; let's presume private road owners can write and enforce the rules of the road. As it is in their best interest to ensure safety, the roads will be used more and therefore become more profitable. Given that this is the case, do you speculate that road rules will become more strict or less? Do you think drunk driving, speed limits, and seat belt laws would be scrapped by these private road owners — and they would instead institute a contract agreement with each driver stating that if they cause death, injury, or property damage to other travelers on these private roads, they must take full responsibility for restitution?
Walter Block:It is difficult for me to speculate as to how a free market in roads would actually operate. I'm a theoretical economist, not the entrepreneur to whom such questions would be better addressed. However, with that proviso, here are my thoughts. I speculate that some road owners would have more strict rules, others less strict, some slightly lenient, and others very lenient. Then, the market would sort things out. That is, possibly, consumer desires would impel road entrepreneurs into either a more or less strict stance — I don't know which. Or, possibly, such diversity would endure. In some venues (bars, hockey) there are less strict rules; in others (tea parties, basketball) there are more strict rules. In hockey, for example, they allow and even encourage the players to fight; this is strictly banned in basketball. Some road owners might go one way on this, others, the other way, and the market (the blessed market, the "magic of the marketplace") would confer greater profits on those who supply consumers with a better product (rules of the road in this case) at a lower price. I am trying to apply economic analysis as it is commonly applied to ordinary issues (bubble gum, beans, beer) to an area (roads) to which it is unusual to do so.
Question:I have heard it argued that privatizing roads will lead to cleaner air. Drivers having to pay the market price for roads would find it more costly to drive, prompting a shift to bus, trolley, train, and car-pooling. I realize this is crystal-ball gazing, but do you foresee an increase in driver cost, or a decrease? If, as I'm sure you will suggest, the bottom line decreases making driving more accessible to all, how will you answer the greens who will condemn such an assault on planet earth?
Walter Block:I foresee a decrease in cost in road use compared to now. This is the ordinary expectation when we privatize things like garbage removal, postal services. There is even a general "rule of two" promulgated by Steve Hanke, E.S. Savas, and others: it costs the public sector roughly twice as much to do anything as the private. I'd be amazed if roads were an exception.
Air pollution, with one exception to be mentioned below, is entirely a separate issue. The reason we have it at all is due to a government failure to uphold private property rights, in that pollution is merely and simply an uninvited border crossing, a trespass of dust and other particles, as it were. So, air pollution could rise, fall or stay the same as we moved to road privatization. It all depends upon the state upholding, or failing to uphold, private property rights in this domain.
The one exception is that lawsuits for pollution would be much easier with private rather than public roads. No longer would you have to sue millions of separate auto owners. Now, you could sue one or just a few road owners for being bawdy houses, not of sex, but of aiding and encouraging pollution on their property, which then leaks out onto other people's property.1
Will there be a role for government in "urging" private property owners to sell their land to road construction companies? Building a large highway, for example, can be a daunting task. If property owners hold out and refuse to sell their property to a road company, the whole project could grind to a halt. Can government step in and encourage the sale — much the same as with the railroads of the 1800s using the government right of eminent domain?
Walter Block:Eminent domain is totally and completely inconsistent with free enterprise and libertarianism. It amounts to no more and no less than land theft. The whole point of my (and my son's) debate with Gordon Tullock was on this issue. He said that private road ownership would be impossible without eminent domain laws (expropriation as it is called in Canada), and I (we) denied this. In a nutshell, our argument was that it is possible to burrow under holdouts' property or bridge over it, without violating their property rights.[2]
Question:In the United States, what bureaucratic encumbrances and agencies would stand in one's way if they were to actually start a company that intended to purchase, own, and control all roads and streets in an entire state?
Walter Block:Zoning authorities; bureaucrats in charge of land use; the Environmental Protection Agency; the Department of Transportation; the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
Question:How would the private ownership of roads affect metropolitan commuters? Would the costs to use streets go up? Would congestion problems decrease, remain the same, or diminish?
Walter Block:Road privatization would help everyone, except for bureaucrats, politicians, "civil servants" employed by present statist road managers, etc. I claim that the cost of street use would decrease. See the "rule of two" mentioned above. Congestion problems would decrease, as peak-load pricing (charging more during rush hours than at 3 a.m., which irons out the variations in demand during the day) would become the order of the day. Right now, the government engages in anti-peak-load pricing, which exacerbates the problem. They commonly sell monthly tickets to bridges, tunnels, etc., at a cheaper price per trip than otherwise. But who uses such tickets? Employees, not casual shoppers, visitors. And when do they use these tickets? Precisely during rush hours.
Nor is this any accident. The principle holds true (congestion is a government failure) in many other cases too. Compare congestion during Christmas with the post office and private firms. The former tells you not to mail during the peak-load times; the latter roll up their sleeves, put on extra workers, and satisfy consumers.
Question:How can you reconcile burrowing under someone's property with such issues as mineral rights? At what point above and below do property rights stop?
Walter Block:There are two theories on this. The first, the erroneous one, is called the ad coelum doctrine. Here, if you own an acre of land on the surface of the planet, you own territory right down to the center of the earth, in narrowing circles; e.g., your property comes to a point there (along with everyone else's). In effect, you own a cone (think ice cream cone) of land, with the top, the acre on the surface of the earth, and the bottom point at its center. Also, your property extends into the heavens, in ever widening circles, again in a cone like formation. The problem with this, for the libertarian who bases property rights on the Locke-Rothbard-Hoppe theory of homesteading, is that you did nothing at all to mix your labor with the land 1,000 miles below the surface. As a practical matter, moreover, you would have the right to forbid airplanes from traveling over your acreage, even 30,000 feet above. Remember, according to this mischievous doctrine, your ownership extends from the core of the earth upward, to an indefinitely far distance. What this implies for ownership of other planets is just another reductio ad absurdum of this view.
In the latter, correct homesteading view, you own only that which you mix your labor with. If you farm, you own only as far down as the roots of your plants; maybe just a few feet more, to preclude anyone from doing something under your land that disturbs your crops. Say, ten feet down or so, depending upon the texture of the earth. If you build a house, then your property extends in a downward direction only so far as to preclude anyone else from caving in your house from below; again, the exact distance would depend upon how firm is the earth below your foundation. If your house extends downward for fifty feet, you might own, say, to one hundred feet below.
Merely farming or building a house, then, gives you no mineral rights whatsoever. Someone else could drill for oil, or mine tin, or whatever, five thousand feet below your property, if they were there first. Thus, there is no reason, in principle, that the hold out against the road developer could always preclude the latter from building a tunnel under, or a bridge over, this land.
Question:Would building a structure above someone's land, effectively covering their home, be an invasion of their property rights?
Walter Block:It depends upon how high above. Yes, it would or might well be an invasion if you built ten or one hundred feet above, but maybe not if you did so two hundred feet above, and almost certainly not if you did so four hundred feet above.
Question:Can you elaborate on the hypothetical road privatization of one or more municipalities in Saskatchewan?
Walter Block:In rural Saskatchewan there is a good gravel road built to the doorstep of every farmhouse. Yet many highways are filled with potholes and are quite treacherous to travel. Currently, the municipalities create and upkeep local roads, and the province does so for the highways.
Municipal property taxes, which pay for roads and schools, among other things, are too high for the liking of most land owners. Tax revolts have recently ignited in southern Saskatchewan by farmers who were simply too pinched to pay land taxes.
One option to reduce taxes that has been suggested is for two or more municipal districts to combine and pool resources and share administration costs. This should, in theory, lower taxes. Another idea, which I would like to promote, is the privatization of all municipal services and the dismantling of this third level of government all together in rural areas.
Why launch road privatization in rural Saskatchewan? Because you would have a far greater chance of influencing the opinions of a few hundred farmers of the privatization of a rural municipality than you would have of convincing city people that they could live without city hall. Farmers are already self-reliant. They snowplow their own roads for instance. And Saskatchewan, where the taxes are high and the rural voters are alienated by the urban/socialist dominated legislature, is a great place to harness discontent.
Question:So here are some questions these farmers will need answered before they would sign on to such an experiment in laissez-faire capitalism:
If a company bought up and operated as a business all of the roads in one or more municipalities, how would it best collect revenue from the users of these roads? Note that in an area perhaps one hundred miles squared there may be a few hundred points of entry from non-company territory. There will also be visitors, some frequent and some not. Perhaps these local roads will need to be paid for in full by locals?
Walter Block:It is hard to say how they would best collect revenue from the users of these roads. This is an entrepreneurial decision. It is like asking, before the advent of Disney World, would they charge by the ride or have an entrance fee? Would they make it cheaper if you purchased a week-, month-, year-long ticket?
Now that I've ducked your eminently reasonable question, let me speculate about it. One possibility would be a charge per mile, depending upon the time of day, day of the week. Another would be a fixed fee. A third would be some combination, thereof. Perhaps the road owner (likely to be a company the shares of which are owned by the local farmers) would allow choice in this regard to its customers. Those road companies that served consumers well would profit and be able to expand, those that did not would suffer losses, and would be more likely taken over by better managers. Probably, visitors would be charged more, unless the place was trying to attract tourists.
Let's look at private roads in malls. Some allow you to park for free, if they want to encourage attendance. Others charge a fee, unless you make a purchase. Practices vary. So might they in Saskatchewan. All we can say is that if different pricing policies long endure, then they all satisfy consumer needs. If not, the efficient ones will out-compete the inefficient ones.
Question:Heavy trucks which haul grain and livestock down these gravel roads are responsible for much of the degradation. Perhaps the drivers of these trucks would need to pay more road access fees than would drivers of cars and pickup trucks?
Walter Block:Here I am on firmer ground. We once did have private roads, several centuries ago. They charged more for heavier wagons, horses, and more axles. They also charged based on the width of a wheel. A lot for thin wheels, which churned up the dirt roads (think ice skates), and less for wide wheels, which tamped them down (think steam rollers). I have little doubt that heavy trucks would pay more, lots more. Possibly, they would be charged inversely to the pressure in their tires.
On the other hand, if we had private roads, we would most likely have economic freedom all around. This means, in effect, no unions. But organized labor ruined the railroads. Without railroad unions, the railroads would likely carry most freight, and those big trucks would be far scarcer on the highways (confined to short hauls). So, this question might be moot.
Question:Many of these country roads come to a dead end at one farmers' house. In effect, the road is a "driveway" which is primarily used by that one farm family. Would a farmer be able to buy his own road?
Walter Block:Sure. Why not? That is like asking, would someone be able to buy his own newspaper, restaurant, shoe store. Of course, anyone can bid for anything he wants in a free society. On the other hand, there is such a thing as specialization and the division of labor. It is likely that there will arise road specialists, who could take these tasks off the hands of the farmers (with the agreement of the latter). In similar manner, not every farmer is his own carpenter, plumber, roofer, restaurateur, etc.
Question:What if an individual bought a road that led to his farmyard but, in addition, was also used (during the era of state owned roads) by a neighbor to reach an otherwise cut-off piece of property? Now, for some reason (perhaps the two neighbors hate each other) the new owner of the road decides to deny passage to his neighbor. What are the likely resolutions to this problem?
Walter Block:I cover this question in chapter 1 of this book. Suppose you live on a street, and all of a sudden its owner says either you can't get out onto the street at all, or he'll charge you one million dollars each time you do so. Do you have to ride a helicopter, or become a great pole-vaulter, to get off your own property? Not at all! Under present institutional arrangements, before you buy a house or any piece of property, you get title insurance. You want to be protected against anyone else claiming he really owns the house you just bought. Well, in an era of private roads, you would also buy access insurance. You wouldn't want to be trapped on your own property. No one would buy any real estate at all unless he were sure that this sort of entrapment couldn't happen to him. Indeed, it is in the financial interest of the owner not to do this, since he wants to attract, not repel, people from living adjacent to his road, so that he can make more profit from them.
Question:If a man wants to live alone in a rural area where there currently is no road — would he likely bear the brunt of the cost of building and maintaining it? Once built will he own it?
Walter Block:Yes, he would bear the full brunt of making the road, just like he now bears the full brunt of carting bricks, plaster, cement, to this out-of-the-way place. And of course, he would then own the road, just like he now owns his house. There would be no government subsidy, such as provided by the post office, to deliver mail at out-of-the-way places for the same price as that which one obtains in the city, where it is cheaper to deliver mail, thanks to economies of scale.
Question:Ditching government. Let's say that laissez-faire capitalists within a particular municipality are successful at substituting a free-market enterprise for every local, state-run service; education, roads, sewer, etc. Let's say that local taxes peel back to about 50 percent of their former levels (even though they should be zero because the government now provides zero services). How do you think that local citizens can work together to eject the municipal government? Or do you think it is possible? Keep in mind free-market solutions are now proven to work better and a majority of the local population understands that the local government is a useless bunch of bandits.
Walter Block:I'm not sure I fully understand this question. The only way to eject any government (municipal, state, federal) is to have a near majority or more of libertarians who vote the rascals out of office.
Question:Did the original inhabitants of North America "own" the land? Did they have "property rights" and was this land stolen from them (the Indians) by the white man? If so what is the antidote to this wrongdoing? Do "we," the current owners of this land, give it back when and where an heir to the original owners can be found? Can there be parallels drawn between property stolen from the Russian or Cuban aristocracies in the communist revolutions with property stolen from Indians in North America? What's the difference? These questions are all relevant to road building, since if the Native Americans really own virtually all the land, and they do not wish to sell it for roads, that pretty much ends expanding this form of transportation. If reparations are paid to them in the form of land, we may be forced to destroy most of our highways.
Walter Block:First of all, even if I accept your premise in its entirety, that the Indians really own most of the territory of the United States, it is by no means clear that they would wish all or even most of the roads to be turned back into farmland or forests or hunting preserves, or whatever. Surely, most of this acreage is worth far more in support of highways and streets than for these other purposes. If the Natives own it, why would they want to suffer the vast economic losses entailed in such conversions? Because farms and woodlands are more consistent with their "culture"? Unlikely in the extreme. They now preside over a plethora of western-oriented gambling establishments, due to loopholes in the law, and it is difficult to argue that these are part of their traditions. No, profit maximization is no monopoly of white, blacks, or orientals.
Second, it is by no means clear that the Indians are the rightful owners of anything like the entire United States. Under libertarian law, they could justly claim only those parts of the land that they homesteaded, or occupied, not hunted over. They owned those paths that they used to get from their winter to their summer places. This is based on the Lockean-Rothbardian-Hoppean homesteading theory. I estimate that they owned, in this way, at most 1 percent of the land in the United States.[3]
The antidote to land theft, and some land was indeed stolen from the Indians, is reparations, or, better yet, return of the stolen land. Yes, indeed, "we" the current owners of this land must give it back when and where an heir to the original owners can be found. But possession is properly 9/10ths of the law. The present owner is always presumed to be the rightful owner. The burden of proof to the contrary falls upon he who would overturn such property titles. This applies to all claimants, throughout history, without exception. There is no statute of limitation on justice for the libertarian. However, the further back in time you go, especially if there was no written language, the harder it is to meet this burden of proof. In the case of the Indians, lacking a written language, and the theft having taken place so many years ago, there is little hope for much in the way of justified land reparations. In Canada, the courts have allowed the testimony of tribal elders to be determinative in such matters. But a proper court would dismiss this as mere hearsay.
Question:I have heard that you are working on a new book. Can you tell us a little bit about it — and when it will be ready for our consumption?
Walter Block:My new book, to be published by the Ludwig von Mises Institute, will be on road privatization. It will be based on my extant publications on this subject, plus lots of new material not previously published. Possibly, material generated in this present interview process will be used in it. Let me turn things around a bit: I have got a question for you: what would be a good title for the book? The working title is something like "Road Privatization," but, hopefully, we can do better.
Question:I just wanted to ask what you think is the outlook for the future of liberty currently, and also what projects or actions you believe to be effective, and get some advice for libertarians (and other liberty lovers) to take in order to live more freely. After all, roads will not be privatized unless the climate for freedom is far greater than at present.
Walter Block:When I started in the libertarian movement, in around 1963 or so, there were probably, literally, one hundred libertarians in the entire world. Now, using that word, libertarian, in the same way as earlier, there must be tens of thousands of us, if not hundreds of thousands. We have made great strides. In the early days, if I didn't know the person as a libertarian, they probably weren't one. Now, there are entire libertarian organizations, let alone individuals, of which I'm entirely unaware.
I think the prospects for increasing our numbers is great. Maybe not for increasing them proportionately, since it is easier to grow in percentage times when you have virtually zero. If we doubled our size once a year in the early days, we might still be able to do so once every few years, nowadays.
But, we face obstacles. Two of the greatest exponents of the philosophy, who stand head and shoulders over everyone else in terms of the numbers of people they've converted to the one, true faith, have recently passed away (Murray Rothbard and Ayn Rand). This will make our task far more difficult.
Question:How should we proceed? In the same old ways: writing, lecturing, teaching at university, promoting the Libertarian Party. I don't think we have any comparative advantage in rabble rousing, or in picking up the gun.
Walter Block:My natural inclination is to refuse to answer this question (I know, I know, I have already started to answer it; don't ask). My reason for this "refusal" is that the prospects for liberty have nothing to do with my own commitment to the process of trying to obtain it. That is, I am going to keep trying, at exactly the same pace, no matter what the prospects are. My reasoning has little to do with the likelihood of success. I do it because I think it's my moral obligation to do it, because I want to pass on to the next generation the flag, or the torch or the banner that's been passed on to me, and because it is just so much fun.
However, you've asked me a civil question, so I suppose I should take a hack at it. So, here it goes. I'm a pessimist on the outlook for liberty. I think humans are hard-wired, based on sociobiological consideration, to be anti-freedom. We, as a species, have lived for millions of years in groups of twenty to thirty in caves and forests, where markets couldn't, or anyway, didn't function. As a result, I contend, we are not biologically built to appreciate markets. Every time I get a new freshman class, I have to demonstrate to their utter amazement and consternation that minimum wages don't help the poor, that free trade does, that markets, not welfare, help the poor, etc., etc. I think the reason for this is not merely the TV programs they've seen, or children's books (for how, then, do we explain them?) but rather that our species is biologically biased against economic freedom. It will always be a hard slog to promote liberty.
Looking back over history, over the entire world, there are very few instances of freedom we have had. Yes, two hundred years ago in the United States and Great Britain; but these were aberrations. As social scientists, we do not have to explain these statistical outliers; rather, we have to account for the 99.99 percent of human history where freedom is not an ideal. It is perhaps a testimony to the libertarian movement that the freedom philosophy has rarely been stronger throughout all of history, but in only a dozen or so countries.
What are the best means of attaining freedom? Well, I'm a methodological individualist on this (as on most things). That is, different strokes for different folks. Some will best be convinced by folk songs, or movies, or novels (e.g., Atlas Shrugged). Some by teachers and writers (my own comparative advantage, plus this best suits my personality). Some by political parties, or by a move to New Hampshire, or by setting up a new country.

Butter is usually purchased in foil-like packaging that protects it from light, the absorption of odors, moisture loss, and discoloration.
Butter is a smooth, fatty substance made by churning cream (most often the cream from cow's milk). The churning causes the fat in the cream to separate from the liquid, which produces butter. The remaining liquid is known as buttermilk.
Ghee is the traditional Sanskrit word for clarified butter (e.g., butter that has the milk solids and water removed). Having no milk solids, ghee has a longer shelf life and can be heated to much higher temperatures than butter without burning.
Coconut and palm oil are called the "tropical fats." These oils contain a significant amount of the saturated fatty acid, palmitic acid. Coconut and palm oils are staples in the traditional diet of the Polynesian countries, where they are eaten in their natural state. However, in the United States, these oils are used primarily in the manufacturing of processed foods, and are not readily available for use in home-food preparation.
Lard and beef tallow are the fats derived from pigs and cows, respectively. These products are used in food manufacturing and, to a lesser extent, in home-food preparation.
