Review: |
In case you've forgotten what kind of show you're in for when jumping into a volume of Peepo Choo, the opener here – which takes off right from the end of the second – wastes no time reminding you. The gentle-giant during the day, yakuza-killing war machine at night stands briefly crotch to head against the maniacal yakuza member, Morimoto, after having just finished off another victim. Said victim remains decapitated and impaled a top his murderer's more unexpectedly deadly weapon before the beast makes his exit in a glass-shattering, blood-splattering show of outright gratuity. He leaves Morimoto untouched in his wake to save the young man for our entertainment later, a switch-hitter twist on the story's most prevalent element that ends up being one of the best parts of this final volume.
Peepo Choo
hasn't felt like the most thought-out manga since the get-go – different aspects of the story never felt sufficiently relevant enough to another, past some overlapping characters whose importance to each others situations was minimal at best. Even if they had overlapped, the yakuza story somehow crossing paths directly with Milton's cultural experience, it would've been a horrible mess which speaks to how much the two elements simply don't mesh in a single series. This final volume doesn't make up for the often slapdash execution, but it does bring Peepo Choo's stronger points to a predominantly satisfying finish by continuing to explore the culture shock they share.
The first half of the series played heavily on Milton learning the harsh truth that Japan wasn't the fanciful, colorful, anime-obsessed culture he'd expected. It also wasted no opportunity to sprinkle atop the story a varied array of other cultural stereotypes played equally for laughs and contrast. In this third volume, Jody finds himself in the extended company of Morimoto - booze, drugs, prostitutes and all the trimmings. Jody thus bears direct witness to Morimoto's obsession with what he perceives as the gang-culture of America - a YouTube-inspired idolization of the violence, swearing and gang-signals that also translates to his body being covered in a variety of tattoos ranging from offensive, to silly, to simply out of place. It works with Milton's earlier preconceptions of Japan to really bookend the series with a focus on two characters with similar problems from very different lifestyles. The parallels are amusingly similar and relevant to fans of anything around the world. They also harken back to the first volume where Milton struggled amidst other inner-city teenagers at home and Jody lashed out at customers in the comic store he worked at, not to mention Reiko. In fact almost everyone this story takes time to focus on suffers from one distinct misconception or another which reinforces the concept as
Peepo Choo's most prevalent theme.
By this time however, Milton has found peace with his discoveries of the true Japan and revels in his hobbies amidst those who share them (aka, he gets taken to Akihabara). With one of the leads now appeased with his place in the world, the story shifts to focus quite heavily on Reiko who has really started warming up to Milton and his exuberant passions. She joins Milton and her friend, Miki, as they peruse the otaku-capital of Japan. Through a series of sad-faced flashbacks and present-day enthusiasm of those around her, Reiko finds the happiness that the life of a busty supermodel couldn't offer her. Despite the heart-warming aspects her story brings to the book, it's a little odd that the focus shifts to her of all characters during such a crucial time in the story's climax. As a result, the story winds up feeling off-balance; this is time that could've been spent giving the other characters a more fleshed-out conclusion.
The artwork hasn't evolved too much over the series' three volumes and Felipe Smith
is just as unapologetic about everything he draws. He revels freely in each opportunity to draw huge breasts, extra-disturbing imagery of sex and violence and exaggerated expressions that literally ooze from every pore if the situation calls for it (or sometimes even if it doesn't). It compliments the subject matter in a way it's hard to imagine any other style doing and the variety in the character designs makes it near impossible to mistake one character for another, which is beneficial in a story that hops around between characters so often (and so abruptly). Unfortunately there are some glaring anatomy issues that really test your ability to dismiss what looks like sloppy art as just being part of the book's style. It's hard to tell sometimes what's intentional and what's just victim of a tight schedule.
Love the fan service
or not, this volume proves you can definitely have too much of a good thing. Regardless of any assumed intent to be a play on the stereotypes of anime itself, the roller-coaster curves and ballooned breasts of Reiko are often a disproportionate distraction more than anything else. The same can be said for the violence; it's still fun to see just how far over-the-top Smith is willing to go, but it can still be a bit much. There's also Milton and Miki who at the age of 16 still look like they'd be in elementary school. The combination of these two particular visuals makes it extra gross when Reiko rubs her body all over Milton in the hope of proving all men are pigs.
Putting side the series' cruder moments, at its heart Peepo Choo
is like an epiphany trying to find form. The culture-shock revelations experienced by the characters, no matter how exaggerated, feel inherently true to life, as though they're inspired directly by the creator's experiences. It's unfortunate though that the parallel "yakuza killing" storyline, which probably would've been much better as a separate series, feels like little more than a neglected side project that wraps up far too quickly at the end. More killing, more insanity and more "WTF?" moments, but the ending is far from satisfying as many unanswered questions are left hanging beneath thinly veiled resolutions.
Though this marks the end of the series, the volume finishes with an open-ended tease that there could be a continuation (or you just want an author-endorsed scenario that can lead to Morimoto finally getting the butt-kicking he deserves). Ultimately Peepo Choo
was a crass and crude experience but certainly not vanilla or forgettable. The combination of culture shock and outright shock make for in-your-face social commentary that amuses as well it potentially offends. For a series with so much potential, it's regrettable that a lack of overall focus fails to serve either of its stories in full.
Grade: | Production Info: | |||
Overall : B-
Story : B-
Art : C+
Great cultural commentary showing the same story played out through very different eyes and circumstances; an in-your-face charisma that's never short of memorable and an overall package that definitely qualifies as unique
− Different elements of story don't mesh well together and as a result the switching back and forth between leaves them both feeling neglected in the end; sheer amounts of sex and violence can be too over the top |

(Updates with analyst's comment in sixth paragraph.)
Dec. 8 (Bloomberg) -- Tesla Motors Inc. plunged as much as 13 percent after a Morgan Stanley analyst downgraded the stock and cut his price target by 37 percent, saying electric vehicles are "not ready for prime time."
Tesla fell 9.4 percent to $30.98 at 12:27 p.m. New York time after touching $29.61. The Palo Alto, California-based company's shares gained 28 percent this year through yesterday's close.
Electric vehicles may make up just 4.5 percent of the global car market in 2025, Adam Jonas, a New York-based analyst for Morgan Stanley, wrote today in a research note. His previous estimate for electric-vehicle share was 8.6 percent. Jonas cut Tesla's rating to "underweight" from "overweight" and reduced his price target for the shares to $44 from $70.
The change in his estimate "is entirely due to lowered forecasts for long-term global EV penetration for the industry, while implying Tesla's EV market share rises slightly versus our prior forecast," Jonas wrote.
Elon Musk, Tesla's chief executive officer, told Bloomberg Television on Oct. 28 that the company is on target to begin delivering Model S sedans next year and should earn a profit in 2013. The premium-electric Model S sedan eventually will retail for as little as $50,000, about half the price of Tesla's current Roadster sports car.
"Tesla has orchestrated a near-flawless execution through the Model S pre-production phase," Jonas said. "We expect the Model S to launch on time in July, but to ramp up slower than consensus expectations as the company prioritizes delivery quality over quantity."
Loss Widens
Tesla's third-quarter net loss widened to $65.1 million from $34.9 million a year ago, according to a Nov. 2 statement on its website. The company has lost $172.9 million through Sept. 30 this year.
Tesla surged 17 percent on March 31, when Jonas assigned his previous "overweight" rating.
Morgan Stanley's valuation of Tesla is "highly sensitive" to changes in global electric-vehicle market share, Jonas wrote.
LMC Automotive forecasts that automakers will sell 96,000 battery-electric vehicles in 2016, grabbing 0.6 percent share of the U.S. market, Michael Omotoso, LMC's forecaster of hybrid and electric powertrains, wrote in an e-mail last month.
Obama's Goal
Combined deliveries of plug-in hybrid and battery-electric vehicles may total 750,000 through 2015 from 2008, short of President Barack Obama's goal of putting 1 million electric vehicles on U.S. roads, said Omotoso, who is based in Troy, Michigan.
U.S. deliveries of Nissan Motor Co.'s battery-powered Leaf have declined three months in a row as the pace of U.S. industrywide auto sales has accelerated. General Motors Co. said Dec. 1 that its plug-in hybrid Chevrolet Volt will miss its 2011 target for 10,000 deliveries.
"While we're still in the very early innings of vehicle electrification, the commercial progress of EVs in the marketplace has been mixed at best, and largely been unimpressive to date," Jonas wrote.
High fuel prices and "unwavering government support" will be needed for widespread consumer adoption of electric vehicles, he said.
"The critical nature of the sovereign credit problems plaguing Europe poses a material threat to the necessary government support for EVs which we had previously taken for granted," Jonas wrote.

You fixed nothing. It was a known security exploit that Sony chose to ignore. That's fault, not responsibility.
> Hmm... By extension, you trusted the bank's security standards before putting your valuables into their vault. Why, then, is it not your fault that the valuables were stolen?
Lol, my fault for trusting the bank vault? Must be my parents' fault. The genes they passed to me and my upbringing clearly brought me to the poorly drawn conclusion of trusting bank vaults. I'm sorry, but your argument ultimately slides into absurdity. Most reasonable people would expect their goods to be completely safe in a bank vault. That conclusion isn't flawed.

Yes, statistical inevitability because they didn't close known security flaws. Now it's too late. It's like preventive vs reactive health care. Sony is reacting when they should have been preventing.
It is entirely Sony's fault. Once a company has decided to protect my personal property and fails to do so, it's that company's fault. Completely. If I put valuables in a bank vault and the bank gets broken into I blame the bank, not the thief. Thievery like this isn't random, it's a statistical inevitability that Sony didn't prepare for.

Lawyers inform their clients of the legal options available to them. Lawyers may file and try the case but I assure you the decision to do so rests with Apple (aka: Steve Jobs).

The big threat to Apple's dominance in the cellphone market isn't from a single competitor. Nexus One is receiving a lot of hype because of the Google tag. A few months ago Verizon generated its own hype with bold commercials for the Droid (which, for disclosure reasons, I will mention I bought and am happy with). The real story and threat to Apple is from the Android operating system, not Google directly. The N1 story actually seems closer to Zune than anything else: powerful software company attempts to break into hardware oriented sector and appears ill-prepared.
In the case of Apple the enemy of their enemy is not their friend. For a M$/Apple partnership to make any sense at all M$ would have to be throwing in the towel with Windows Mobile. Instead, it looks like the opposite will hold true. The smartphone market is just like the 80's and Google has taken huge steps to ensure themselves a tenable position in the brawl that is about to occur.

The Archbishop of Boston supports a legal amendment to protect the definition of marriage as the union of one man and one woman but discourages a proposal that would introduce same-sex civil unions and same-sex couple benefits into the same measure.
"We support the Marriage Affirmation and Protection Amendment as it has been presented, without the introduction of civil-unions language," wrote Archbishop Sean P. O'Malley. "A debate about social benefits given to other individuals in our law is a separate issue."
Archbishop P. O'Malley issued the statement March 10, one day before the Massachusetts State Legislature re-convened the constitutional convention. In it, he also renewed his call to Catholics to pray and to work together to defend marriage as the union of one man and one woman.
"The amendment reaffirming marriage as the union between one man and one woman must be approved on its own merits," he said. "Joining this amendment to the issue of civil unions deprives the people an opportunity to express their views on marriage.
"Linking the two coerces people in a way that is unfair," he continued. "Voting on them separately respects the will of the public."
The archbishop said legislators must protect the unique benefit marriage brings to society and "the good that this bond produces for children."
The archbishop said he was also concerned that giving same-sex couples the same benefits and protections as those given to husbands and wives will "pose a grave threat to religious liberty and the freedom of conscience.
"Whether the name used is same-sex marriage or civil unions, an equal treatment requirement in the constitution may be used to coerce private and public entities to adopt practices that would violate their values and understanding of the family and social justice," he said.

It's tough to complain about a free game. But the real rub is that grinding through Dungeon Runners feels like a chore without a membership. So in the end, the real question is whether or not this game is worth five bucks a month. We don't think so. Even with the potions and rare items, Dungeon Runners still gets old fast.
We'll admit that killing monsters for loot has continued to have a hypnotic hold over us since the days of text-based MUDs and Diablo. And to its credit, Dungeon Runners will provide at least a few hours of fun to the average MMO fan or loot lover. But in the end, we recommend you look elsewhere if you're fixing for something free and fun. If you want to give it a whirl, click here to download the client.

LoveYoga travels to India
The Beaumont-based yoga studio LoveYoga is hitting the road to spend over a week working with local organizations in India for the charity Off The Mat and Into The World between February 3 and February 15, according to owner/director Tiffany Maloney.

Maloney said she raised her personal goal of $20,000 over the past year and due to that achievement will have the chance to go to India, participate in the implementation of the funds and receive a scholarship to one of the charity's leadership and advocacy training programs in Los Angeles.
Overall, they raised over $1 million project wide to help sex trafficking victims, Maloney said.
Maloney will be collecting travel sized toiletries like toothpaste, soap, deodorant, laundry soap and shampoo which she intends to take to India as a "donation love offering".

The Sims is without a doubt one of the most unique gaming experiences a player can experience on any platform. Who doesn't love to make a virtual person who is exactly like themselves? The games have gone from PC to console and back to PC again. Needless to say I am a console gamer and missed the franchise for years until EA finally released the Sims 3 for gameing systems. So what's with all this talk about The Sims Social?
Everyone wants to escape and live in a fantasy world for a little bit. Whether it's playing with friends and pretending to be superheroes or dressing up for Halloween, we all let another side of us out. The Sims 3 allows people to live another life in a small world on their PC, having a different job and raising a whole separate family. EA has announced that a new expansion pack called Generations is due out this spring.

In this day and age when modern medicine has been able to increase the life expectancy of Americans, a growing health issue may soon threaten the longevity of today's youth. Childhood obesity is becoming a health issue in our country, affecting the long term quality of life for many Americans. In 2010, a White House Paper on childhood obesity estimated the direct medical to be at $3 billion dollars. As a result, there is a growing trend to combat this issue and now September is National Childhood Obesity Awareness Month.
Lifestyle changes over the last several decades have contributed to rising obesity. Eating on the run and dining at fast food restaurants is now the norm for the average family. As a result, American households dine on food high in fat, sodium and sugar, increasing the total calories consumed in any given day.
In addition to overconsumption of food, another trend contributing to overall weight gain in both youth and adults is a decrease in physical activity. Both children and adults are less active, decreasing the opportunity to burn off extra calories. Just this week, the International Food Information Council reported the results of a study using data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey which identified decreased physical activity as a key factor in the rise of obesity.
Instead of walking and spending time outdoors, kids are driven to school and activities, then spend hours on the computer or watching TV. During the school day, P.E. and recess are often limited and sometimes cut out altogether to make time for academics. Every hour spent in passive activities takes time away from opportunities to be physically active.
Families can be proactive in the effort to maintain a normal level of calorie intake and physical activity. It doesn't mean everyone goes on a diet and train for a 5K run; it does mean making a conscious decision to make a few changes. Parents and caregivers alike can offer healthier food choices and opportunities for physical activity.
The first step is to follow the Dietary Guidelines for Americans and let MyPlate be the model. Offer a variety of food each day from all of the food groups. Fill your grocery cart with lean protein, whole grains, fruit, vegetables and low-fat dairy foods. Plan family meals and snacks instead of randomly making selections so you consciously serve healthier meals.
Cook more meals at home. Look at the calendar and prepare food when you have a block of time. For example, roast a chicken on the weekend and serve it twice during the week. While the chicken is baking; spaghetti sauce, chili or soup can be simmering on the stove. Food can be divided up and frozen for meals later in the week.
Use snack time as a way to get in servings of different food groups. Forget chips and sugary drinks, besides being empty calories, they are high cost items. Instead, serve fresh fruit, peanut butter on whole wheat bread, raw vegetables with a dip or low fat yogurt. Let kids come up with their own ideas for snacks that fit within the guidelines you establish.
The other component in this national awareness effort is to be physically active. Provide opportunities for kids to get outside and play. Better yet, get outside with them and you'll be burning calories too. Play a game of ball in the back yard, wash the family vehicles, ride bikes or do yard work.
With little effort, families can make meals healthier and increase their physical activity to help children achieve and/or maintain a normal weight. For more information on nutrition and eating right, contact the Madison County Extension Service.

(Adds size of daily refining losses in third paragraph, comments from analysts in fourth, penultimate paragraphs.)
Jan. 27 (Bloomberg) -- Chevron Corp., the second-largest U.S. energy company, reported its biggest decline in quarterly earnings in two years after refining losses undercut gains from record fourth-quarter crude prices.
Net income fell to $5.1 billion, or $2.58 a share, from $5.3 billion, or $2.64, a year earlier, San Ramon, California- based Chevron said in a statement today. Per-share profit was 32 cents below the average of five analysts' estimates compiled by Bloomberg.
Chief Executive Officer John Watson has been selling oil refineries and filling stations in Europe and Africa to focus on higher-profit crude production and natural-gas liquefaction projects. The company's U.S. refineries lost an average $2.2 million a day during the final three months of 2011 as crude- processing margins shrank and maintenance work at a California plant curbed fuel output.
"They were hit by a huge drop-off in refining margins at the same time they had a very large maintenance project at a California refinery," Gianna Bern, president of Brookshire Advisory & Research in Chicago, said today in a telephone interview. "We're going to see a lot more of this to come as refining margins come under continued pressure all over the globe."
Chevron fell 2.6 percent to $103.80 at 9:43 a.m. in New York. Oil and gas production from Chevron's wells declined 5.2 percent to the equivalent of 2.64 million barrels of crude a day.
Record 2011
Sales rose 11 percent to $60 billion during the quarter. For the full year, net income climbed 41 percent to a company record of $26.9 billion.
Chevron added the equivalent of 1.67 billion barrels in reserves last year, enough to replace 171 percent of the oil and gas the company pumped last year, according to today's statement. That was the best reserves performance since 2005.
Brent oil futures, the benchmark for two-thirds of the world's crude, climbed 25 percent to a record fourth-quarter average of $109.02 a barrel. Chevron gets 74 percent of its oil outside the U.S.
Declining Gas Price
Natural-gas futures traded in New York dropped 13 percent from a year earlier to average $3.48 per million British thermal units, the lowest fourth-quarter average since 2001. Intensive drilling techniques that enabled explorers to tap shale formations helped boost total U.S. gas production by 7.4 percent in 2011, swelling supplies and depressing prices, according to Energy Department figures.
Rising labor and raw material costs eroded some of Chevron's gains from higher crude prices during the fourth quarter, Brian Youngberg, an analyst at Edward Jones & Co. in St. Louis, said today in an interview. Chevron's oil and gas business earned $23.62 per barrel of output, down from $25.94 during the July-to-October period, he said.
Exxon Mobil Corp., based in Irving, Texas, is the largest U.S. energy company. Exxon Mobil will report its fourth-quarter results Jan. 31.
(Chevron is scheduled to hold an earnings conference call for investors and analysts, starting at 11 a.m. New York time. To listen, access a broadcast at LIVE <GO>.)

POSTED: Thursday, July 19, 2012 - 4:03pm
UPDATED: Thursday, July 19, 2012 - 4:17pm
It's one of the fiercest Texas political battles in years.
The Republican runoff race for the US Senate pits two conservatives in a fight to the finish on July 31st.
When Senator Kay Bailey Hutchison announced she was retiring, the fight for her senate seat began.
And now it's down to two.
You could call it a Texas version of the battle Republicans waged during the Presidential primaries.
It's the establishment versus the Tea Party, though neither of these candidates would portray it that way.
David Dewhurst was a Houston businessman who amassed a fortune and in 1998 was elected Land Commissioner, and later, Lieutenant Governor.
Ted Cruz is a Houston attorney who served in the Justice Department under President George W. Bush and as Solicitor General for the State of Texas.
The accusations have been particularly intense in this runoff.
Election day is July 31st, and early voting starts on Monday.
The winner of this race and the Democratic runoff face each other in November.

Why do you have a problem with slavery? (Not saying that I don't...just asking why you do.) You have said that "it's [your] own personal opinion, not [your] faith, that brought [you] to this mind set." However, opinions are based on one's core beliefs; they don't just come from nowhere. That's what I'm getting at. Why is it morally wrong (there's a value-judgment term for you) to own a slave? In other words, what standard allows you to judge someone who decides to own a slave? How can you believe and say (using sarcasm, no less) that you are "right," and the slave owner is "wrong?" I could ask the same question about the two other practices you mentioned (coups and slaughter). Can you explain what allows you to make value judgments as you have here?I do however have a bit of a problem with using slavery to build up your economy.

Hotels in Arizona
The selection of hotels in Arizona ranges from old-style motels to reliable chains to dude ranches and plush spa-and-golf-centered resorts. One thing they all have in common, at least in the desert regions, is a good pool (or even several pools). If you travel to Arizona in the summer, you can get hot deals (as well as regular 100-plus temps— an excellent excuse to stay in those pools) at hotels in the Phoenix and Tucson areas. The Arizona Biltmore set the standard in 1929 as one of the best hotels in Arizona. It's elegantly designed by disciples of Frank Lloyd Wright and offers cottages, eight pools and high tea in the lobby.
Sanctuary Camelback Mountain Resort and Spa is tucked into the side of red-rock Camelback Mountain. The 105 adobe-style casitas have original art, soaking tubs and huge windows with mountain views. This is a great resort for tennis, too. Enchantment Resort is an Arizona hotel made up of low-slung casitas in Sedona's Boynton Canyon. It definitely has some Southwest magic thanks to its hiking trails, tennis courts, pools and a huge spa, Mii Amo. Inside, kiva fireplaces and rugs create a timeless Southwestern ambiance.

The first step: grab a petri dish By Jeffrey Bartholet Photograph by Kevin Van Aelst Editor's note: This article appears in print with the title "Inside the Meat Lab." It is not unusual for visionaries to be impassioned, if not fanatical, and Willem van Eelen is no exception. At 87, van Eelen can look back on an extraordinary life. He was born in Indonesia when it was under Dutch control, the son of a doctor who ran a leper colony. As a teenager, he fought the Japanese in World War II and spent several years in prisoner-of-war camps. The Japanese guards used prisoners as slave labor and starved them. "If one of the stray dogs was stupid enough to go over the wire, the prisoners would jump on it, tear it apart and eat it raw," van Eelen recalls. "If you looked at my stomach then, you saw my spine. I was already dead." The experience triggered a lifelong obsession with food, nutrition and the science of survival. This is only a preview. Get the rest of this article now!

Seagears guides Rutgers past Canisius 66-51 |
Written by Admin |
Monday, 18 November 2013 16:53 |
PISCATAWAY, N.J. (AP) - Jerome Seagears had 15 points and nine assists as Rutgers took a 66-51 victory over Canisius in a NIT Season Tip-Off North Regional first-round game Monday night. Kadeem Jack had 13 points and 11 rebounds for the Scarlet Knights (3-1), who host Drexel in a quarterfinal game Tuesday night. Wally Judge added 11 points and 12 rebounds while D'Von Campbell had 10 points and hit some big shots as Rutgers began pulling away. The Golden Griffins (1-2), who play Elon in a Tuesday consolation game at Rutgers, got 17 points from Billy Baron. The Scarlet Knights shot just 36.5 percent (23-for-63) and were 6-for-26 from 3-point range but were aided by a 50-37 rebounding advantage. Trailing by two after a miserable shooting first half, Rutgers tied it twice early in the second and trailed 33-31 before an 8-0 run gave the Knights the lead for good at 39-33. |

Herb of the Day
Author: Crick
(Zingiber officinalis)
Folk Names: African Ginger The Dobu tribe of the Pacific Islanders use ginger in much of their magick. By first chewing it, they then spit it at the "seat" of an illness, or at an oncoming storm to stop it while still at sea.
Herbal Uses: The root is warming to the body, is slightly antiseptic, and promotes internal secretions. Chop about two inches of the fresh root, cover with one cup of water, and simmer for about twenty minutes, or one-half teaspoon of the powdered root can be simmered in one cup of water. Add lemon juice, honey, and a slight pinch of cayenne. A few teaspoons of brandy will make an even more effective remedy for colds. This preparation treats fevers, chest colds, and flu. A bath or a foot soak in hot ginger tea is also beneficial. The tea without additives helps indigestion, colic, diarrhea, and alcoholic gastritis. Dried ginger in capsules or in juice is taken to avoid carsickness and seasickness. Use about one-half teaspoon of the powder. It works well for dogs and children.
Homeopathic Uses: Homeopaths use Zingiber for weakness in the intestinal tract and in the reproductive system, kidneys, and lungs. It treats dry coughs and asthma that is worse in the morning and without anxiety. A peculiar symptom calling for the remedy is that the patient is worse when eating melons.
Magickal Uses: When ginger is eaten before performing spells it will increase your power. Since ginger is a spicy and "hot" herb, it is most effective in love spells. Plant the root to attract money or sprinkle powdered root into pockets or on money for prosperity. Ginger also ensures success.
The art of making potions goes back to the earliest civilizations and in terms of history, as one of the oldest crafts known to humankind. Brewing beer, making wine, and infusing potions are traditions that have been perfected through time. Many of the techniques making a great beer, wine or potion are the same. The mixture is often called a wort. The wort is then put through a process, which in the case of potions, gives it magickal properties.
The different ways of making potions stem from ancient medicinal and alchemical recipes, formulas that you can put together from basic ingredients in the privacy of your own kitchen. Historically magick love potions also called
philters, were often made of unappealing ingredients. You had to be extremely thristy or unaware of the contents to sip one. Today, this isn't the case as most potion ingredients are tasty and appealing.
Potion brews can be anything from an herb tea to a fruit smoothie. One of the main things to remember when making any potion is to make it taste good if a person is going to drink it. If you are using a potion primarily for its scent, for example in a powder form, then make sure it smells good. Try to avoid unfortunate situations like the infamous wizard Aleister Crowley found himself in when he developed a perfume potion for sex magick called "It." Great idea Aleister, but nothing came of "It," because the stuff reputedly had a horrid smell!
Before you make your potion, be sure that you have all the ingredients and tools you will need at your fingertips. Following is a list of potion-making tools you will need:
*A ceramic, earthenware, glass, or wood bowl
*A pot, preferably one that is NOT made of metal, for brewing the potion
*A wooden spoon for stirring the potion
*Cheesecloth for straining the potion
*A mortar and pestle for grinding potion ingredients
*A container for the potion
Clean, preferably sterilize, all of your tools, especially the potion container. You can clean containers by carefully pouring boiling water into them, or you can put the container in the dishwasher, running it through the entire cycle and turning on the heat/dry cycle. This also does a good job of sterilizing contatiners. If you don't have time to properly clean the chalice, cup, glass or other containers the potion is going in, then just make sure that it is as clean as possible. Any residue may taint the potion.
The kind of water you use is important when preparing a magick potion. Spring, well, rain, and distilled waters are better than tap water, which often contains chemicals such as chlorine and fluoride. Well water with no harmful contaminants can be used; rain water can be used as long as there aren't any pollutants in it; and distilled water can be used for potions, but it is inert. Unless the recipe calls for it, I seldom use sea water or mineral water due to their mineral content.
Witches and wizards make potions by mixing one, two, a few or many ingredients together into one. Sometimes the ingredients are used just as they are. Other times they are ground up, shredded, pureed or crushed with your fingers or with the mortar and pestle. The herbs that go into your potion can be either fresh or dried. If you use fresh herbs, it take three times more of them than dried herbs. For example, if a potion recipe calls for one teaspoon of dried sage leaves and you want to use fresh sage, it would take three teaspoons of fresh sage to make the potion.
Processes call infusions and decoctions are also employed. An infusion, the most common method of internal herbal preparation, is usually in the form of a tea. It can also take the form of magick water. The infusion method works best when the potion you are making requires soft plant parts, such as leaves, flowers or green steams.
When using the infusion method of preparing potions, there are a couple of things you can do to make your potion more effective. One thing is to brew aromatic ingredients such as garlic and clove, in a pot with a lid that fits
on tight. The reason for this is to keep from losing the natural oils of the aromatic ingredients to evaporation. These natural oils are important for the effectiveness of the potion.
Some ingredients are sensitive to heat, so you can make a cold infusion by soaking the herbs in water for anywhere from 6 to 12 hours. A sealed earthenware pot is best for cold infusions. When preparing potions using the infusion method, only make enough for immediate use as infusions rapidly lose their potency.
The method for making a decoction potion is similar to the infusion. You begin by grinding your ingredients into a powder that you can then make your potions. Ingredients that are hard, such as bark and stems, require more heat to release their magickal properties. The use of more heat to release the natural oils of an ingredient is primary difference between the infusion and decoction methods of potion making.
The decoction method would be the one most associated with the traditional use of magick cauldrons. In this way, dried herbal ingredients are ground into powder and are cut into small piedes, and then added to the potion. The potion is made in a pot, and the ingredients are simmered and boiled in order to release their magickal properties. Again in the case of aromatic ingredients, you should use a lid on the pot to slow the evaporation process. The amount of time that you heat the mixture depends on the potion recipe. Usually decoction are strained to eliminate the hard bark and stems before using them.
At times, potions use both methods in their recipe. In this case prepare the two separately as a decoction and infusion, and then mix the ingredients together after the decoction has cooled. By doing so, the infusion ingredients are not ruined by the heat that the decoction process requires. Always stir clockwise.
Items You Will Need:
Blue candle
A piece of paper (written on it what needs to be healed from the Goddess)

RPGCast - Episode 295: "Game of the Year 2013"
Some things are better late than never. Adriaan, Glenn, Alex, Sam, and Chris talk Games of the Year. At least, that's the idea, but I think we get derailed into "How to save Nintendo" talk at some point.
You can find the links to all our stories on delicious: http://delicious.com/rpgamer/295
RPGCast streams live on Saturday at Noon Eastern / 9 AM Pacific.
