update, in case anyone cares.
Damn, here I am again - and still haven't taken accutane. I kind of got over it. I used the differin and antibiotics and the topical antbiotic that the derm gave me, and it made things kinda bearable and i just told myself to stop being whiny. Plus since going to high school, i've gotten a shit ton of hwk and i've started playing xbox with new, interesting friends, so that's distracted me. Well my antibiotics ran out a long ass time ago and i had told my mom to make me a follow up derm app. and renew the prescription and her ignorant self said no then got mad af when i asked why. That was in like August.
Because of this whole situation, i've just lost respect for her and don't talk to her much. Well anyways, like a month ago i randomly decided to stop using differin and things are bad again. I just try not to think about it, but i know i have to do something. Also the scars are worse, like fuck. My cheeks are just a mass of red. Redness from active acne, red marks, just fucking red. I'm going to look into at home chemical peels. I'm probably gunna start taking supplements too.
Emotionally wise, i no longer think of accutane that much. I recently thought to myself "i actually dont feel too bad, or like crying anymore." I used to cry at the slightest thought of my face. I'm still insecure as ever, can't even look at people directly in their face. i'm 100% sure i have body dysmorphic disorder, but im not gunna tell anyone about it. Theres nothing that can help me besides getting clear skin, and that means accutane. But besides that, accutane isn't the main thing on my mind. I kinda have given up on it, though i'd still do anything to get on it. idk, looking back and reading this thread has me with tears in my eyes.
actually i don't really know why i'm writing this. i'm better, but i'm not okay. i just want clear, beautiful skin.
I'm really sorry you're going through this Although videogames are always fun and school work is important, socially isolating yourself is not good. If your mom knew just how badly your acne is hurting you, I hope she wouldn't intentionally let you suffer through it. It's possible you guys aren't communicating right, she probably thinks you'll just grow out of it and doesn't want to put you on medications that have serious side effects, but you are the one that has to live with it right now, not her and that's important too. Yelling and getting angry is not the best way to convince her, and will only make her dismiss your feelings as typical teenage rage. But if you came to her with a rational explanation of why and how the acne hurts you physically and emotionally, she may change her mind. Maybe you could try talking to the school counselor, or a trusted adult (maybe another family member or family friend?). Perhaps hearing the issues you are dealing with from an unbiased third party will help her see that you are in serious pain.
Oh, i really think she would let me suffer through it. She truly thinks she's helping me and that accutane is literally going to kill me. She thinks it affects the brain directly. She's seen me hurting so bad over this situation and she told me to shut up, she won't even consider it. I was literally sobbing, couldn't breathe or really talk and was twitching. I have having a panic attack and she said to stop crying, it was my fault my face was like this because i wouldn't take zinc supplements. I know i could never tell anyone, acne is too embarrassing. I could never bring myself to talk about it. And either way, she already notices that i'm weird or antisocial or whatever and she gives me shit for it. She says somethings wrong with me and in a hurtful way. She tells me i have problems, but she has no intention or taking me to a therapist or something like that. And that would just lower my chances of accutane because she'll think i have a more risk or killing myself. Which, i can truly say, there's more of a risk of me killing myself if she doesn't let me on accutane.

Blockade Escort Build - Questions

"BOFF" means Bridge officer setup, so your abilities like Scatter Volley or Trasfer Shield Strength.
"DOFF" is Duty officers. I dont know if you have been using them in your builds yet, but look up what they can do. They are very important as they can reduce cooldowns, add abilities, heal you, make you faster etc.
This is what I use for my fleet escort for Blockade. You have 2 waves of area of effect damage. Two coppies of Scatter Volley and Torpedo Spread.
Attack pattern omega to get out of tractors. Attack Pattern Beta for damage.
With two copies of EPtS and a 3 piece Borg set, you wont need to heal yourself any extra.
All you have to do is:
1) Start firing at the ships
2) Most ships will switch their target to you. Identify the two enemy ships that are still attacking the Transport and shoot at them.
3) When the Transport's rear shield facing gets low, give it Tactical Team followed by Transfer Shield Strength.
4) Keep healing the Transport with Aux to Sif, Trasfer Shields
5) When the two ships that were targeting the Transport are destroyed, hit Evasive Maneuvers and get out of there, look for another Transport.
Its really that simple. Any Escort can solo a Transport. This build should give you enough firepower to kill the two ships in time.
The skillpoint allocation is reitterating what lilchibiclari said about having a lot of "9s"
I tried to leave your original skillpoint allocation intact, and reduced a lot of 9s to 6s. On the lower end, its ok to have 9s because they are much cheaper.
You may not want to respec right now since it does cost Zen.

Unexpected, gore, great, I loved it. Two thumbs up
Now this is something new. Animation wholly in it's own category (hmmm... 'cate-gory'. Nah that wasn't funny), well stylised, and personally, felt more than just a pointless gore fest. Hooked to the video as soon as I saw the amount of detail that went into those grotesque audience members. You obviously worked incredibly hard on this, but being really nit-picky, I can see moments in the animation where the meticulous amount of detail hasn't quite been spread so evenly. Aside from that little flaw, this is very fresh and evocative (in more than just a shock sense, although to be honest, I'm quite desensitised - but I guess this would be quite shocking to some). Of course, there are going to be people who are in it just for the gore, but a deeper commentary on society is quite apparent here. Music was interesting as well, I'm into experimental/avant-garde metal music, although I'm not going to go all the way and say it was excellent. But all together, this is a brilliant video and a demonstration of what internet animators can really do.
"but I guess this would be quite shocking to some"
yea clearly. what rock are these people crawling out from.
While this is one of the most shocking entries I've seen on NewGrounds lately, it's also one of the most schockingly creative.
yea i know i got tired of seeing pupil-less angry eyes and smiley-mouth with dimples all the fucking time and all the other bullshit
I felt sorry for the tortured and nothing for the audience. This was not really enjoyable nor was it funny. The animation was interesting I'll give you that. The music was a tad out of place.Oh the irony where I would like the torturer to become the tortured. I have seen many incredibly gory things happen in movies. Much worse than any of this.You are getting there. You have a long way to go before you get to making me squirm. If the point of this was to make an ironic statement it worked.If not, you need to refocus your efforts. You could do so much more and be just as terrifying or poignant. This wasn't great.You can do more. Take your mind out of shock jock mode and you will do something truly shocking.
damian hellstrom lord of the underworld is displeased
Anyone could sit here and say that the audience here was eating up gore as badly as they see it on the news. Gore on this level is usually used in two forms. One, to communicate an important message by the writer or two, to create a strong sickly reaction to the images (think Cannibal Corpse). There is of course the third reason which is that blood can fascinate people if it is fictitious. Although the creatures were surely sapient it does not seem as if they were any longer human. In my opinion this seemed like a strong move on your part, to convey the destruction of vaguely human meat as opposed to scared hostages or some other non-sequitor situation.
Also, thank you for no cookie monster vocals. Would've killed the whole video.
The execution of the flow of the video is mostly excellent. The highly detailed scenes deserve great praise but half of the star was taken off due to the action scenes having less detailed animation.
i love cannibal corpse

Payton, Linehan at the head of the class
It's never too early to look at how the first-year head coaches are faring this season.
There isn't much, not even the 4-1 record and first-place status in the NFC South, that has surprised New Orleans Saints general manager Mickey Loomis about the performance of first-year coach Sean Payton at this relatively early juncture of the season.
The manner in which Payton has so quickly captured the confidence of a team that all but came apart at the seams in the wake of its Hurricane Katrina-related displacement last season? Not a surprise. That Payton's staffing selections, particularly those of first-time coordinators Doug Marrone (offense) and Gary Gibbs (defense), have proven to be brilliant? Loomis isn't shocked. That the Saints already have one more win in 2006 than they did all of last season? Loomis says, with a straight face, that he felt in camp that the Saints would be "a little bit undersold" by the pundits.
So there's been nothing surprising about Payton so far?
"Well, I've probably been a little surprised by the fire that he has [demonstrated] on the sideline during games," Loomis said, laughing. "I knew he was a passionate guy. But when you're interviewing a guy for a [head coaching] job, you can't predict what his demeanor might be like during games. He's really been a fiery guy. He's really into the game. Now, that can be a bad thing for some teams, I guess. But for us, given where we're coming from, it's been a big plus."
Take a quick glance at Payton, and the person he most resembles is actor Frankie Muniz from the onetime Fox sitcom "Malcolm in the Middle." There's been nothing middle ground, though, about Payton and what he has accomplished with a New Orleans franchise coming off a dismal 2005 season on and off the field. Of the seven rookie head coaches in the league this season, Payton is one of two -- Scott Linehan of the St. Louis Rams is the other -- who currently has his team in first place.
The aggregate record of the first-year head coaches is 15-19, and Payton and Linehan have accounted for more than half those victories. Props to Linehan, too, who didn't exactly inherit a day at the beach in taking over an often dysfunctional Rams franchise. But even what has transpired in St. Louis, where the Rams are actually winning games on defense, for gosh sakes, pales in relative comparison to what Payton has wrought with the Saints.
New Orleans is a team that was chided, including by yours truly, in training camp. There were monumental concerns about the offensive line and about the ability of the defensive front seven to stop the run. But the offense ranks No. 7 overall in the league, and while New Orleans is just 23rd versus the run, the overall defensive rating of No. 13 is more than respectable. In a city that welcomes any shred of optimism, the Saints have provided a beacon of hope.
The schedule, Loomis noted, will become demonstrably more difficult, beginning Sunday when the Saints host the Philadelphia Eagles. But with the club performing with so much confidence in itself and seemingly in its youthful coach -- and with some magic, like Reggie Bush's electrifying 65-yard punt return Sunday -- all things suddenly seem possible for the Saints.
"I think our players bought into [Payton] in camp," Loomis said. "When he said something, he meant it, and they found that out pretty quickly. He hasn't wavered on anything. That's been a key to what we've been able to do to this point. From my standpoint, where my first priority was getting a head coach whose philosophy was the same as mine, it's been great."
And so the progress report for Payton at this point of the season, by just about any measure, has been excellent.
How about the progress reports for the other half-dozen first-year coaches? Here's a look:
Scott Linehan, St. Louis (4-1)
He has stressed the running game (third-year tailback Steven Jackson, the new offensive centerpiece, is tied for the NFL lead in rushing) and protecting the football, and the combination has paid off nicely. The Rams are a whopping plus-12 in turnover differential. Part of it is that quarterback Marc Bulger, who isn't getting hit as often in a more balanced attack, has yet to throw an interception. The other part is the aggressive, takeaway-minded defense that coordinator Jim Haslett has installed. St. Louis is flying a little below the radar screen so far, not getting nearly as much national attention as New Orleans, but gets a chance to upgrade its Q rating Sunday, when it hosts Seattle.
Progress report: Excellent.
Brad Childress, Minnesota (3-2)
Maybe even more important than a winning record is that Childress, a thoughtful and impressive guy if you just sit down for five minutes with him, has restored discipline and order to a franchise sorely lacking in both commodities last year. Childress benched two starters (safety Dwight Smith and cornerback Fred Smoot) for violations of team policy. He has preached the importance of running the ball and, unlike his mentor, Philadelphia head coach Andy Reid, has made that more than just a lip-service thing. And the Vikings, ranked No. 7 in the league, have played defense. It was, in fact, two defensive touchdowns that rallied Minnesota from a big fourth-quarter deficit against Detroit on Sunday.
Progress report: Very good.
Eric Mangini, New York Jets (2-3)
Until last week's 41-0 shellacking at Jacksonville, the Jets had been well-coached and surprisingly competitive. It will be interesting now to see how Mangini and his team respond to their first mini-crisis. There has been some sniping about Mangini's methods and philosophies and New York has suffered from not having the appropriate personnel to play the 3-4 front that Mangini prefers. The Jets rank 29th in overall defense and are 28th against the run. Minus tailback Curtis Martin, the Jets have used a committee approach, with three different starters already, and the result is a No. 25 ranking.
Progess report: Good.
Gary Kubiak, Houston (1-3)
The fact that onetime human piñata David Carr leads the NFL in quarterback rating and is taking much better care of the ball (seven touchdown passes and just two interceptions) is testimony to Kubiak's ability to tutor the game's most critical position. Carr has still been sacked more than anyone would like, but that is more a function of a reshuffled offensive line than to his past indecision. The major problems have come in the running game (ranked 29th), where the Texans clearly miss tailback Domanick Davis, lost for the season to a knee injury, and in general on defense (No. 32 against the pass and overall). It's a much more fundamentally sound team, but there are still holes.
Progress report: Average.
Mike McCarthy, Green Bay (1-4)
For all the scrutiny of quarterback Brett Favre, the Packers still rank ninth in total offense and third in the league in passing offense. But there is no rushing game to make things any easier for Favre, who turned 37 earlier this week, and the young players in the interior offensive line have appeared lost at times. Despite spending a ton of money on the secondary in recent years, the Packers are 31st versus the pass. Starting cornerbacks Al Harris and Charles Woodson both look as if they've lost a step. If there is good news, it's that McCarthy and has staff have gone into just about every contest with a solid game plan and have tried to adhere to it.
Progress report: Below average.
Rod Marinelli, Detroit (0-5)
Good guy, bad team, miserable situation. Marinelli is a terrific guy and communicator, a man who speaks forcefully yet softly, and makes listeners lean forward to hear him. Alas, leaning is about the only forward motion for the winless and toothless Lions. Here was my theory on Marinelli going into the season: His emotion and rah-rah approach would be welcomed by the Lions if they won a few games early. But if they started slowly, the same guys who vowed to throw themselves on the grenade in camp would quickly lose such inclinations. There have been a few flashes on offense, where the Mike Martz-designed passing game has made Jon Kitna look good at times. But on defense, which is Marinelli's area of expertise, the Lions have only six sacks, the third-fewest in the league. And the Detroit secondary, which is 30th leaguewide, has just one interception.
Progress report: Abysmal.

Hi John. re leaking C.V. boot.
I replaced the entire axil half shaft assembly on my car.
Once the car is jacked up and the old axil is removed i
can replace with a new axil in about 15 seconds. It takes about 1/2 to 3/4 hour to put in a boot kit. It's not worth my time. Calipers,axils,wheel cylinders, E.C.Ms, programers, carbs,A.C. compressors, alternaters, and most other things are replaced. All can be repaired including the E.C.M. Yes i had to repair them. The opti coupler or the E-E- prom was the only thing that went wrong and that
was almost always customer owned fault. They blew it up.
Prime example. The G.M. 6.5 turbo diesle. Everyone replaces
the injector pump. WRONG. There is a factory fault with that system and it is not the pump. Actually as i reread
my post the G.M. diesle has nothing to do with axils. Sorry
about that. Got off topic. Anyway, 3/4 hour for a boot kit
or 15 seconds to replace the axil. You be the judge.
It takes me around ten minutes to actually replace a boot oce the axle is on the work bench. But to each their own. Frankly most of the re-man axles are so cheap it really does make me wonder how they can do it and maintain a reasonable profit.
BTW If I have to tear a joint completely apart for cleaning and repacking it might take me twenty minutes +R&R of the axle shaft......

Major Cities:
Napoli (Naples)
Amalfi Coast
A large region in the south of Italy, situated at the ankle of the boot, Campania boasts a whopping 5.8 million inhabitants and about 5,200 square miles in area, making it Italy's most densely populated region. More than half of those people live in the capital of Naples and its surrounding communities but the area with the densest population is along the pretty coastline.
Much of Campania makes its living in agriculture. The region produces more than 50 percent of all the nuts consumed in Italy and is also well-known for its fruits and vegetables, particularly tomatoes. Olive oil and wine are produced here as well, but not to the extent that they are in some other regions of the country. Others make their living in small businesses, at the port, or in the tourist sector.
Despite its deep agricultural roots, Campania is a region full of history and culture and a must-see on any tour of Italy. There are a wealth of archaeological sites to enjoy here including Herculaneum, Paestum, and the more well-known Pompeii. This partially-buried Roman town near Naples was destroyed by an eruption of Mt. Vesuvius in 79 A.D. and was first rediscovered in 1599. Since about the mid 18th century, it has been a premiere tourist site and still attracts in excess of 2.5 million visitors per year.
Nearby, the capital city of Naples is known for its art and architecture, music, history, and scrumptious cuisine. Home to one of the most important ports in Europe, Naples boasts a historic center that includes fine examples of medieval, Renaissance, and baroque architecture evident in many of its nearly 30 churches and numerous other notable buildings. Visitors can also explore beautiful public parks and gardens, stroll through museums and art galleries, and even take in a bit of "underground" Naples. And when it's time to eat, visitors can partake of one of the region's wonderful specialties including fried pizza, rich mozzarella cheeses, and a host of fresh seafood prepared in various ways.
The western side of Campania is dotted with lovely little seaside villages and one of the most beautiful coastlines in the world – the famed Amalfi Coast. Nothing short of stunning and spectacular, the Amalfi Coast is rugged and known for its treacherous stretch of road that has tourists hanging on for dear life, despite the skill of the bus drivers who traverse it. The drive and the photos you'll get along the way are the piece de resistance here, but the towns are pretty as well, especially Positano, a small enclave where guests can browse some unique shops and enjoy lunch in a café by the water.
For another water attraction, head to the Isle of Capri, once the vacation destination of several Roman emperors. To get there, nab a boat in Sorrento and head to the island, where you can hike, explore Roman ruins, and visit the famous Blue Grotto.
And while you're in Sorrento, take some time to explore this lovely town. It's covered with lemon and olive groves, boasts a very safe tourist area, and is a good venue for shopping or just taking a relaxing stroll.

City Secured by a pledge of full faith and credit, the Virginia Constitution authorizes Virginia cities to issue general obligation bonds. For the payment of such bonds, the city's governing body Indebtedness is required to levy, if necessary, an ad valorem tax on all property subject to local taxation. General obligation bond issuance is subject to a 10 percent limitation of the assessed value of taxable real property in the City. In determining the debt limitation, certain classes of indebtedness may be excluded, including revenue anticipation notes maturing in one year or less, referendum approved general obligation bonds payable from a specified revenue producing undertaking (as long as the undertaking is self-supporting), and revenue bonds. The City's Public Utility bonded debt and Port Improvement bonded debt are self-supporting referendum-approved general obligations and, accordingly, are excluded from the City's legal debt limit. In addition, the City's lease- purchase obligations containing non-appropriation cancellation provisions are excludable from the City legal debt limit. The following table shows the Legal Debt Margins for five Fiscal Years ending June 30. Taxable Debt Limit: Legal Margin Real Property 10% of Debt Applicable for Additional As of Assessed Value Assessed Value to Debt Limit Debt July 1, 2004* $ 3,970,547,916 397,054,792 161,563,715 235,815,910 July 1, 2003 3,609,260,900 360,926,090 167,125,364 193,800,726 July 1, 2002 3,435,041,250 343,504,125 172,761,675 170,742,450 July 1, 2001 3,250,382,910 325,038,291 157,064,189 167,974,102 July 1, 2000 3,126,130,180 312,613,018 154,713,264 157,899,754 *Estimated Overlapping or Underlying Debt The City of Portsmouth is autonomous and entirely independent of any county or other political subdivision. It is not subject to taxation by any county or school district, nor is it liable for any county or school district indebtedness. There is no overlapping or underlying debt. Statement of No Past Default The City has never defaulted on any debt payment of either principal or interest. Outstanding Debt Supported by City general revenues, the City's bonded debt consists almost entirely of general obligation bonds. For the Golf Revenue Bonds, the outstanding debt is secured solely by a general obligation pledge – the full faith and credit of the City. The proprietary fund debt, consisting of the Public Utility, the Port Improvement, the City Garage, and the Information Technology debt, is expected to be paid from the revenues of the respective enterprise and internal service funds. Debt Ratios The following table shows the General Debt to Property Value ratios for the fiscal years ended 2000 through 2004. The calculations include all City debt excluding Public Utility bonds, Golf Fund bonds, Port Improvement bonds, Portsmouth Parking Authority debt, City Garage debt, and Information Technology debt. All are recorded as debt of the respective proprietary funds. 1 - 13 Budget Overview City General Debt as a % of General Debt as % of Indebtedness Assessed Real Property Assessed Real and Personal As of General Value Property Value Debt July 1, 2004* $ 206,071,683 5.2% July 1, 2003 211,458,965 5.9% 5.1 % July 1, 2002 219,119.673 6.4% 5.5% July 1, 2001 189,379,172 5.8% 5.0% July 1, 2000 195,588,451 6.3% 5.3% *Estimated Public Utility Debt All outstanding Public Utility bonds are general obligations of the City; however, as a matter of practice, the City pays such bonds from its Public Utilities Fund. This is a self-supporting Enterprise Fund. The revenues include water and sewer system fees. In the event Public Utilities Fund fees are not sufficient to pay the debt service on public utility bonds, the City is obligated to pay the debt service from the General Fund or other available revenues. Public Utility bond debt service coverage by net system revenues are shown in the following table. Fiscal Available for Year Debt Service Principal Interest Total Coverage July 1, 2004* $ 14,240,469 2,442,489 2,644,275 5,086,764 2.80 July 1, 2003 12,940,056 3,200,000 3,080,660 6,280,660 2.06 July 1, 2002 11,871,335 3,405,000 3,184,191 6,589,191 1.80 July 1, 2001 10,779,182 2,725,000 1,799,167 4,524,167 2.38 July 1, 2000 12,408,507 2,620,000 1,943,584 4,563,584 2.71 *Estimated Impact of Capital Budget on Debt For the fiscal year, the City's debt service is budgeted to incorporate all interest and principal payments on the general obligation debt. While the 10% of taxable real estate value limitation, as imposed by the Commonwealth's Constitution and laws is a City constraint, the City has no other restriction on issuing new debt. As a result of the Capital Improvement Program, the City Council has implemented a self-imposed ceiling on new debt to be incurred. Presently, the new debt limit is $8 million annually. $4 million can be allocated to Schools and $4 million to other municipal purposes. In FY 2005, on previously issued general public improvement debt, the City will pay off $10.6 million in principal maturities and $2.4 million of Public Utility debt. 1 - 14 Budget Overview City Computation of Legal Debt Margin Indebtedness Taxable real estate assessed value - July 1, 2004 (estimated) $ 3,970,547,916 Debt limit - 10 percent of assessed value (1) 397,054,792 Total debt - June 30, 2003 (2) $ 274,514,937 Less amounts exempt from debt limit: Obligations under cooperation agreement subject to appropriation $ 41,763,736 Enterprise debt: Public Utility bonds outstanding 58,348,331 Port Improvement bonds outstanding 871,444 Golf bonds outstanding 8,422,996 Capital leases subject to appropriation: General equipment and vehicles 2,744,232 Waste Management equipment 563,621 Data processing equipment 236,862 Total exempt debt 112,951,222 Debt applicable to debt limit 161,563,715 Legal margin for additional debt $ 235,491,077 Notes: (1) The legal debt limit is established by State law as 10 percent of taxable real estate assessed value.

Anybody tried drying/grinding peppers for hot sauce?
I want to make a good shelf-stable hot sauce that will last a while. I've made a vinegar based hot garlic sauce by seeding and boiling peppers and them pureeing them. It was good, but I'd like to be able to leave the seeds in for the extra gusto.
So, I was thinking about dehydrating the peppers and then grinding them. Then, I could "rehydrate" the powder into a sauce form. Does anyone have any experience in doing it like this or recommendations?
I don't actually reconstitute them. All you're doing with dehydrating them is removing the water and making them brittle.
When you make the sauce, you just add the powder and whatever liquid (it is going to be a sauce, after all) / ingredients you wish.
One thing I should note, I don't use a recipe designed specifically to be shelf safe. I just make it up as I go and make small batches of 2-3 bottles so they get used within a couple of months and store them in the fridge. But, there is no reason you couldn't focus on the ph level for shelf storage.
Absolutely. For the first time, I have a lot of different hot peppers this year and purchased a dehydrator to dry them. Once they were dry (super chili's, thai hot, african mound, jalapeno, serano, cayennes, etc..), I couldn't figure out what to do with them ( I am no where near as advanced as others on the board )...so I purchased a coffee grinder and pulverized them. Once I had little pots of powder, I started mixing the different powders and putting in bottles. I added salt, cumin, garlic powder and onion powder to some pots. Finally, I poured a boiling mixture of vinegar and water (2 parts vinegar / 1 water) into the bottles, shook 'em up and put them in the fridge.
So far, the different bottles taste amazing. Looking forward to really kicking it up with some Bhut's once they rippen.
Disclosure: I don't know what else I can do with all these peppers...I am scared of leaving the powder in powder form simply because I am not convinced my dehydrating efforts are as effective as I need them to be.
I'm drying my Habs, Bananas and Cherry Peppers right now. I plan on grinding them up and adding salt, (maybe sugar), a bit of distilled water and/or whey and some powdered kefir starter. I've never tried this before, but I imagine the results will be similar to this thread. I suggest reading the entire thread as it contains a lot of good information.
Here is a link that might be useful: kefir discussion
andy....Thought I'd let you know that, accoding to the New Mexico St. Institute of Hot Peppers, the seeds dont have any heat in them. The white membrain on the inside of the pepper is where all the capsaicin is in the peppers.
I would also suggest you make a BBQ sauce with your peppers also. If you still have to many, try seling some at a farmers market, or simply zip-lock them and freeze away through the winter!
Good luck sir!!!
Andy, red enchilada sauce is made with dried ground peppers, so using ground dried pepper is a well established way to make sauce from peppers.
If you are not canning your hot sauce, only make what you will eat in about a week. If you have the dried ground peppers, it will only take you seconds to make the next batch when you are ready to use it.
Grantsi, dried peppers are safe to store but lose their flavor if stored too long at room temperature. They can spoil after they are re-hydrated, so don't rehydrate unless you are either eating soon or canning..
I suggest that you dry your peppers and grind them, put them into labeled storage containers and keep them in the freezer. You can store the dried chili pods whole or as ground chili powder.

Unfortunately, you can watch many successive 24-hour cycles of political news coverage without getting any adequate analysis of political regionalism.
It's not that America's political commentators lack interest in demographic factors that influence politics. On the contrary, they are obsessed with a small number of demographic characteristics, chiefly race and sex. Viewers or readers are told endlessly about the gender gap and racial/ethnic differences in voting. But you would fall asleep waiting in vain for a political reporter on TV to explain differences between the Highland South and the coastal South or to describe the distinctive political culture of the states in the Midwest settled by New Englanders.
In the world of our political media, there are generic whites, generic Latinos and generic African-Americans from coast to coast. The categories are sometimes refined by class, but this still produces hopelessly vague descriptions — treating Italian-Americans in Rhode Island as though they are part of the same generic "white working class" to which many Scots-Irish Tennesseans and Norwegian-American North Dakotans also belong. These fuzzy definitions all too often harden into cartoonish stereotypes like the "Angry White Male" of a few decades ago or "NASCAR Man" more recently.
A news junkie who follows the American political media could be forgiven for thinking that the American people are divided by race and gender, and perhaps religion, but not by regional culture. And yet the evidence says otherwise. Latinos in Texas vote differently than Latinos in California. Scholars have established that members of the same religions — Protestants, Catholics and Jews — tend to be more socially conservative in the South than in other parts of the country. Regional political culture is a powerful independent force, not a mere reflection of the numbers of particular demographic groups in particular territories....

What's a good way to use Unpasteurized juice to make cider. I've had some wild yeast problems in the past. Last year I used pasteurized juice and didn't like the results.
How about bringing it to a simmer for 15 min or so?
1 crushed campden tablet per gallon for 24 hrs then pitch yeast!
Sorry I should have said hard cider. The pasteurized juice I used last year was cloudy. I really want to use unpasteurized but don't want wild yeast problems and a clear end result. I'm Also gonna use a yeast starter this time.
Thanks for the quick responses.
Unpasturized cider is only good if you want to make really good cider. Lol but seriously, couple tablets, fill fermenters full and you will be ok. Wild yeast shouldn't be a problem. Remember, original ciders used wild yeast. Definitely give raw cider another chance. Its worth it.
I use UV pasteurized from the local orchard with no problem. It clears in secondary in about 6 months. Tastes fantastic.
just to say!! i did a unpasturized batch (1 cup table sugar per gal + brett or ec-1118 = good stuff) in april that i killed everything and then pitched brett b onto it and i dont tast the brett! will be great for halloween!
Edit: i did adjust the ph 2 months ago
What was your wild yeast problem? If you really want a clear cider couldn't you use pectic enzyme? Or gelatin in the secondary? All of my ciders have cleared in two to four months, but I generally use beer yeast.
Some people need a high five.
In the face.
With a chair!
