Biochar retort kiln - best material to use around heat riser

Hello all,
I do appreciate the feedback in regards to my last post. I have decided I will probably scrap the cinderblock plan. Now I do have other questions. I have decided to go with a "hornito
kiln" type of design which is the combination of the
rocket stove
on the bottom (which I will probably go with Ianto Evan's design) and the retort kiln on top, which will be used for pyrolysis. I am also leaning toward putting this kiln inside of my
as opposed to right outside (which I do have plenty of space for), this way instead of trying to capture the waste heat, the waste heat should just radiate off the kiln directly into the
. With this, should I go with a 55 gallon drum around the heat riser, or should I go with firebricks around the heat riser instead? I do have a budget that will allow me to go with either design. I hope my question makes sense, any input would be great. I am sure you all have seen these designs but I wanted to post a picture as well for further illustration.

Interesting, i've made a fair bit of biochar but not used a system quite like that.
It looks like the pyrolysis gases as directed back through the burn chamber - as i understand it this is good for getting a clean burn, but not necessary to complete the charing process. At the point that the gases are flammable the pyrolysis is self sustaining in the retort anyway.
As far as building one of these inside a
goes, i'd be exceptionally wary. My experience of all biochar systems is that they get ferociously hot not something to be messing with in a confined space or near precious plants. I'd be leaning towards brick construction for the thermal mass and see if you can duct the exhaust gases through a bench in the greenhouse - gentle sustained heat seems to be the order of the day. If you have sufficient mass that your exhaust gases are cool you could even vent some directly into the green house to temporarily raise co2 levels ( there are serious safety implications here though as you don't want to breath that or lead to a carbon monoxide build up)

Thank you for the input, and I would be interested in learning more about your work with biochar. Another idea we have been entertaining is the incorporation of an aquaponics system to possibly raise tilapia in the winter time. If I ducted the exhaust gasses through a (I assume
) bench, do you think I could build this bench in a shape that will comfortably hold the tank? I have posted some photos below of the area I have to work with. The area is approximately 12' (15 if I utilize the area I am currently growing a few things) by 5'.

For my own biochar making i messed around with various configurations, including a simple retort, and using an oil drum to make a Top Lit Up Draft (TLUD) burner.
My man conclusion was that making large amounts of biochar from our trimmings and scrap wood was very time consuming. Now i'm leaning more and more to a imple open fire and
quench. Simple, cost effective, time effective and relatively good yields. Biochar is now a useful bi-product of our pruning process but not an end in itself anymore.
Typically i would end up with a third of an oil drum of biochar from an afternoon of burning. An afternoon of my time is better spent on other jobs around the place.
From a big open fire i can get about five times the amount of char in the same time. Yes, i get less char for the amount of prunings burnt, bu t i am time limited not materials limited. I put quite a bit of effort into ensuring as clean a burn as possible (dry kindling, toplit etc...).
My personal preference now would be to encorporate biochar production into routine household systems - for example, a rocket based cook stove makes a small amount of biochar each time it is used. Over a reasonable period of time a decent quantity would build up.
I'm not an expert on cob bench designs so i'll leave someone else to comment on the designs of your greenhouse.

I have never created biochar myself, but I had read that one of the main concerns is time consumption. This is a project more for personal education as I am an intern, so time is not much of an issue for me. We would like to capture the waste heat from this project, but our main objective is to create biochar and demonstrate to
farmers how they can do the same. There is a lot of waste biomass here due to beetle kill, so we think resources are plentiful. The farmers will also consider their time a valuable resource so we are entertaining different ideas as to quickly loading/unloading the kiln. Our main focus is to create biochar, so heating the greenhouse is sort of secondary. Instead of using the rocket stove to heat the cob structures, our design will have perlite right outside the heat riser for insulation, and to hold in the perlite we will use either a 55 gallon drum, or more firebricks on the outside. Right above the heat riser will sit the oxygen limited pyrolysis chamber for creating the biochar. We think this will work well, in reference to the first image I posted there is a great Youtube video on how the "hornito" design works, you can find that here:
. I am also going to post a picture of our original design if you can make sense of it; this is a very basic sketch. I do have a CAD printout which is closer to scale, but I have not covered it with red ink, so it would be difficult to understand. We originally were going to go with
masonry units around the entire structure, so that is the material you see on the far ends. The two circles in the middle represent a 55 gallon drum in which the heat will travel through, and inside that drum sits the smaller circle, which represents the oxygen limited retort, which is a 30 gallon drum (in between the 55 gallon drum and the 30 gallon drum we planned on using spacers to allow heat to travel through. Although I think I am planning on altering this project now and starting fresh, it may still give you an idea of what I am trying to accomplish. Any input would be helpful.

I wanted to post a copy of the CAD drawing, this is all to scale based on standard sizes of: firebricks, CMU's, 55 gallon drums, and 30 gallon drums, the difference on this one is the steel lid. Ignore all the red ink, as we have scrapped some of the ideas

Ok, i think your scale is totally wrong - it sounds like you have acres of beetle killed
to deal with. Cutting up a whole tree into chunks small enough to go through your small retort would be a monstrously slow job even before doing the burn itself. Our oil drum scale work just about copes with our woody hedge trimmings!
Here are some ideas for a more appropriate scale for your resources:
A large steel hoop charcoal kiln. These are used by foresters to make charcoal for bbq's but have many advantages for your application. They are mobile, so can be setup where your trees are. They make a valuable product - lumpwood charcoal - and the smaller particle stuff is your biochar. If you want to turn all of it to biochar you can crush it up by driving over it repeatedly with a
etc... On a hard surface. They take much larger pieces of fuel wood than your small retort, so need much less processing. Selling the charcoal from just pne or two burns would pay for the hoop.
If you have access to a digger you could try a big pit burn - dig a pit about 5ft deep and fill it with while trees etc to a height of around 3 ft above ground level. Light the top of it. A few hours later once it has burned down below the level of the pit cover it again with soil. Leave it for a few days to complete pyrolysis, checking occassionally to make sure the soil cover is intact. When you are confident it is cooled you uncover it again. I would thoroughly wet it, dig it out by machine and crush it ready for use. You will get a total mixture of partially burned and properly charred wood. All of it is fine to apply to the soil.

That seems like a decent method in making biochar, but please don't take offense, it does not seem necessarily clean. I do understand that to create biochar in a
manner, it is important to use resources that are site specific. Where I am I have literately tons of wood chips I am able to use, my point in mentioning the beetle kill is because some of the farmers we demonstrate to may have trees close by. Where I am employed our mission is "Helping people by championing small-scale, local, and sustainable solutions to reduce poverty, promote healthy communities, and protect natural resources. With this being said we try to focus on the economic model that "small is beautiful" as opposed to "bigger is better". We are okay with this kiln being small, we just want to make sure we can burn as cleanly as possible, and as efficient as possible. The rocket stove allows you to use significantly less firewood to reach extremely high temperatures due to the highly insulated burn chamber.

Mike, no worries about me taking offence - I know it isn't the cleanest approach. Quick question in response though - do you ever have bonfires on site? If so you are already making that same pollution in the burn process, but without any of the mitigating benefits of producing biochar alongside it.
We probably have a bonfire half a dozen times per year on our 8 acres. Large diameter stuff goes for the
wood stove
, small diameter stuff goes for compost or gets put through the small chipper we have. Anything in the middle ground is likely to get burned, along with various
weeds (
in particular) with cannot be disposed of reliably by composting. We try to make this as clean a burn as possible - material is left to dry for a reasonable period, the fire is constructed carefully and managed to flame rather than smoke. We burn a lot of material on one site, rather than have many small fires.
As a decent sized bonfire burns the embers fall and build up in a nice layer, under ashes. The ashes protect the embers from oxygen so only the gases burn. Once the flames have died down and all the woody material has broken down to embers it is straight forward to douse the whole fire with lots of water, turning those embers into lots of biochar.
We make lots of biochar, with a lot less labour input than previously
Our periodic bonfires now contribute in a positive way to our soil by providing biochar
Careful management has reduced the number of fires we have, and the air pollution due to an open burn.
I did this this week and, from a single bonfire, produced around 10 times as much biochar as I would have done from my old barrel methods. I would guestimate that I saved around 20 hours labour compared to preparing each batch of materials for the burn, monitoring 10 separate burns, quenching the resulting char etc...
Ultimately it is a trade off between quick and effective, vrs slow and clean... I suspect that low yields in small batches will result in your system being under used.

Mike, where are you in the world for this Project?
Do you have Access to already chipped Wood?
Michael, I liked your answers so that am releaved for the fires I made this late spring!!
I also did not know how to process all my trimmed branches so that they could fit into a TLUD!!
So I made an opened fire.
I put as much as posible all at once.
It was just imposible to burn all at one time because I do not have enough distance with trees for this.
All adequately enough burned pieces of Wood were dragged out of the fire and watered.
I had a 2 parts fire, 1 burning and 1 cooling.
I just understand now that you seem to say that the biochar should be reduced to small pieces (which size?) before they are good for incorporating into the soil...
Thanks for the learning

Pregame primer: Goalie controversy brewing?
Oates: 'I'm not disappointed in the game'
News and notes as the Capitals [20-14-5] visit the Ottawa Senators [16-18-7] tonight at the Canadian Tire Centre [7:30 p.m., CSN]:
Goalie controversy brewing: Capitals coach Adam Oates told reporters in Kanata, Ontario that rookie goaltender Philipp Grubauer [5-1-2, 2.02, .937] will make his eighth start in 11 games tonight against the Senators. That's bad news for Braden Holtby, who was hoping to see his first start since Dec. 21. It's even worse news for Michal Neuvirth, who has not played since Nov. 22 and will be a healthy scratch for the eighth straight game since returning from a rehab assignment in Hershey. Neuvirth's agent, Patrik Stefan, told nbcwashington.com "Let me just put it this way, I want Michal out of Washington." Oates was not too enthused by Stefan's comments, telling the Washington Post, "Michal came out last week and said he wants to be a No. 1 somewhere. It's been out there before, we know it. I don't know if the agent needs to create another distraction for the locker room in this case. It's known."
Laich out: Caps center/left wing Brooks Laich [right groin injury] told the Washington Post he will not be in the lineup tonight, marking the 14th time in 15 games he will be an injury scratch. If that's the case, look for Oates to go with the same forward lines and defense pairings as Sunday night in Buffalo when the Caps outshot the Sabres 50-17 but still lost 2-1 in a shootout.
[RELATED: Trade coming for Neuvy?]
Trending: The Caps have lost three of their last four games but have also picked up at least a point in three of those four games. 8-3-3 in their last 14 games. The Senators are coming off a 4-3 home win over the Bruins on Saturday, which followed a 5-0 loss in Boston the night before. They are 2-1-1 in their last four but are 8-11-3 in their last 22.
American made: Caps defenseman John Carlson logged a team-high 24:12 on Sunday against the Sabres, marking the 18th time in the last 20 games he has led the Caps in time on ice. He's averaging 26:06 in his last 20 games and ranks first among Washington skaters this season at 24:41. In the last two seasons, Carlson ranks third in goals among NHL defenseman born in the United States with 13, trailing only Dustin Byfuglien [15] and Keith Yandle [14]. This season the Natick, Mass., native is tied for fifth among NHL defensemen in goals [7], first among all Capitals in blocked shots [81] and is second on the team in shots [105].
Goodbye, 2013: Tonight marks the Capitals' final game of the 2013 calendar year. They are 47-32-8 during 2013. In 85 games this calendar year, Alex Ovechkin has 62 goals, the most of any NHL player. Nicklas Backstrom has 74 assists in the calendar year, second behind Sidney Crosby's 77.
Brouwer power: Troy Brouwer scored the Caps' only goal against Ryan Miller and the Sabres on Sunday, giving him seven points in his last six games. Oates said it was Brouwer's best game of the season while giving credit to his linemates Mikhail Grabovski and Eric Fehr as well.
Leaderboard: Offensively, the Senators are led by defenseman Erik Karlsson [10 goals, 27 assists, 37 points], right wing Bobby Ryan [18-17-35] and centers Jason Spezza [11-19-30] and Kyle Turris [9-21-30].
Statistically speaking: The Caps are 8-3 in shootouts this season; the Sens are 1-5. The Caps are 10-5 in overtime; the Sens are 3-7.
Angry Neil: Senators tough guy Chris Neil leads the team with 99 penalty minutes and needs one goal to reach 100 in his NHL career. Earlier this month he surpassed 2,100 in career penalty minutes.

Why Koran Burning Sparked Violence in Middle East
Liked it
- Subscribe to RSS
Read and find out…
For many people in the West it is not easy to understand why provocative action of some fringe pseudo Christian group would cause such a violent reaction half way across the world.
Certainly the pastor who burned the Koran and posted the video of it on YouTube had no idea what he is getting himself and indeed the entire western world into. To mostly uneducated common Muslims in countries such as Afghanistan, or Pakistan this act was nothing short of declaring a "holy war" on Islam and radical clerics there are not shy to use this video to incite more violence that could lead to all out war.
To these people the Koran is not just holy book inspired by God like Bible to Christians, but it is the collection of the very Word of Allah dictated word for word to their prophet Mohammed. Therefore, the act of burning it was so much more than just offensive to them, and the fact that it was done by a religious leader who calls himself a Christian made automatically all Christians the very enemies of God worthy of death.
We must also understand that to common Muslims in Afghanistan every single westerner is a Christian. They do not think in terms of individualism like we do, and they do not separate religion from politics like we do.
That is why it's just a matter of time for many other radical Muslim groups and the theocratic government of Iran to pick up on this controversy, especially if Pastor Terry Jones goes ahead with his plan of putting Islam's prophet on symbolic trial next.
There could be riots organized by Muslims all over the world, not only in Middle East, and many more people, especially Christians could die as a result. It is because radical Muslims in Africa and Middle East already feel threatened by millions of Muslims who leave Islam by becoming Christian every year due to the Christian gospel message spreading there through Internet and Television. Now, the Koran burning stunt adds even more fuel to the raging fire.
And while Jesus charged His followers to preach His good news of salvation to all nations, He did not encourage them to burn their holy books. Though, most Christians for this very reason do not agree with actions of Pastor Jones, radical Muslims in Afghanistan and elsewhere do not know that because their clerics do not want tell them about it.
Most Muslims in Middle East and Africa are not like moderate Muslims in Europe, USA, and Canada. They are radicals. The people in the West and western leaders must begin to realize that. Leaders like US President Barack Obama have to stop pretending that they are dealing with a fringe Islamist movement over there.
Their ignorance of the way these people think is the very reason why both the war in Afghanistan and Iraq became such a fiasco, and I fear that the situation might become worse if they do not change their approach.

The Uber of Everything: The secret to winning on-demand mobile customers
Wendy Schuchart, VentureBeat Analyst
Dec 1 2015
59 mins
Not long ago, pushing a button and immediately receiving your product seemed the stuff of futuristic movies with the likes of time travel and hover cars. While we're still waiting on the latter, the On-Demand Economy has made (almost) immediate delivery a reality.
Companies like Uber, Airbnb, Postmates, and more, have disrupted their respective industries by creating solutions to meet the unstoppable demand from consumers to have what they want, when they want it – and that usually means right now.
By putting control over delivery into the hands of the consumer (i.e. do you want it now, or at a specified later time?), companies are allowing them to interact with products and services truly on their terms. This requires a deep understanding of consumer behavior and expectations, as well as the tools, payment options and customer experience to drive on-demand loyalty.
Join us for a conversation on the on-demand economy, and how it's changing the future, and the present, of commerce.
In this webinar, you'll:
* Get insights into the changing consumer landscape
* Learn how successful on-demand companies are effectively addressing customer needs
* Enhance customer experience and offer better deals
* Change the relationship between your customer and the business
* Terry Angelos, Co-Founder and CEO, Trialpay

While at Lucky FABB, bloggers had the chance to choose 3 items from C&C California's collection to style and create a "Coast to Coast Cool" look. I almost forgot that I'd signed up until I received the package a few weeks ago containing the top above, another top (that doesn't work on me) and a pair of faux leather leggings that I'm obsessed with.
I think California girls definitely have a unique style- it's laid back, comfortable and cool- but so do us east coast gals. We need to stay warm in the winter months and try our best to still look cute doing it.
The top pictured is super soft and ultra flattering. Paired with similarly colored jeans, I thought the whole look elongated my frame, something that's always a plus for those of us on the petite side!

I don't know that I ever left him without telling him that I loved him. How I wish I could tell him just one more time.
We'd been friends for so very long; meeting at a dance more than 50 years ago where my teenage band was performing. After the show, he introduced himself. "I want to do what you do," he began, "only I can't sing or play an instrument, so I'm going to be a dee jay."
And so began the 53-year career of DJ and entertainer extraordinaire Gary Vancena, perhaps better known to thousands as Daddy G. Knight. We lost track of each other after high school but reunited years later as members of Monroe County Chapter 142, Vietnam Veterans of America; he ultimately would serve us as president.
"I got shot in the butt!" he shared as we swapped memories of our times at war.
Many aren't aware that Gary lobbied heavily as a human rights activist on behalf of the many "Amerasians" — children of American soldiers and Vietnamese mothers, and, Americans by birthright — who were left behind in Vietnam.
Gary lived in Adrian, but his heart never left Monroe. The 1961 Monroe High School graduate truly was a great entertainer and a favored performer for local weddings, parties and class reunions.
I don't know that I've ever met a more giving individual and I'd bet money that of the hundreds of shows he gave during his career, half were for free for charitable organizations.
Every time Renee and I headed a fundraiser — for our school in Vietnam, the Miss Monroe County Scholarship Pageant, our Feed the Lepers project, or whatever — Gary was always there volunteering and refusing remuneration.
Gary loved his country like few others and was a patriot to the core. Virtually every Memorial Day or Veterans Day, he would load his van full of brother patriots and head for Washington, D.C. There they would honor our fallen comrades at one of the many memorials, like the Vietnam Memorial, Arlington Cemetery or the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier.
Just two weeks ago, Gary took an entourage to Arlington to conduct a grave site honor of Capt. Leo Abramoski, the first Monroe soldier killed during the Vietnam War. They shared that ceremony via cell phone with local veterans and friends during a special ceremony July 28 at the Monroe County Fair.
And, coincidentally enough, this year the Monroe County Fair Association Board honored Gary with their Meritorious Service Award for providing 16 years of entertainment for their annual classic car show. And, at his insistence, of course, at no charge!
For many years, Gary and I co-hosted the annual St. Michael's We Care Telethon. There we raised thousands of dollars for children needing life-saving transplants or lodging accommodations by singing silly songs or doing crazy stunts, all the while laughing our petunias off at each other.
We were together just days ago and Renee and I complimented him on his recent weight loss and how good he looked.
"Been having a little pain in my chest," he shared; "A little burning right here," and with that, pointed a finger to his solar plexus.
Sunday morning after church, I checked my cell phone to find multiple calls from Gary's home number. When I returned the call, Gary's heartbroken wife, Cindy, informed me that Gary had died early that morning of what they believed was a heart attack. He had performed what turned out to be his last special show the night before.
"Stunned!" was one of the many responses listed after I announced his death on my Facebook site, along with, "wonderful man" ... "heart of gold" ... "would do anything for anyone" ... "icon, legend, friend," and perhaps my favorite from fellow Vietnam veteran and current Luna Pier Mayor, David Davison, " We lost one of the best of the best!"
"He loved you like a brother," Cindy told me before we ended our call, and each time I think of her words — and that concept — I can't keep the tears inside.
Gary was also a man of faith who knew Jesus as Lord of his life and that gives me great comfort. Because for me, of all the great things he did and was known for, nothing was more important than that.
But what do I know?

Stupa near Albuquerque safe for nowThere has been some buzz around the Buddho-blogosphere the past few days about the U.S. National Park Service planning to bulldoze a small Tibetan stupa near Albuquerque, NM. It was never clear how much truth there was to this assertion, as there didn't appear to be any word from the NPS itself. But, no matter, Kyle Lovett of The Reformed Buddhist blog reports today that he spoke with a NPS Ranger from the Petroglyph National Park visitor center who said that the NPS will not be removing the stupa now or any time in the foreseeable future. Thanks for getting to the bottom of this, Kyle! More »

Silversmith Les Howe and his wife Vivienne, an artist and card designer will be demonstrating their skills in the garden.
My husband and I recently visited Durham and the Botanic Gardens for the first time. Definitely worth visiting. I really liked the tropical area. The little coffee shop is also lovely. A lovely place to spend a couple of hours."
The Botanic Gardens are a heaven, quiet, immaculately maintained and very peaceful. There's plenty to occupy kids... including a trail where they can look for various hidden animals dotted around. Thoroughly recommended for a pleasant 2-3 hours and with a top quality coffee shop/ restaurant at the end of it!"
This beautiful 25 acre garden is a great place to wander in for any age group. The varied areas and changing landscape are of constant interest. It is child friendly and welcoming."
Loved this place! Once I got away from the kids fun day, it was really peaceful. Need a good pair of walking shoes as can be a bit muddy in the wet and there are a few steep climbs if you want to do them. Beautiful plants and trees. Lots of things to keep kids amused."

Brands recommended by doctors, brands that speak to moms and brands that give back to the community most influence Hispanic mothers when they shop for their families, according to "The U.S. Hispanic mom market" by Packaged Facts, New York, and Silver Stork Research, Hingham, MA. Surprisingly, Hispanic mothers could not recall advertising that spoke directly to them. Twenty-two percent of the births in the U.S. since 2002 have been to Hispanic women.

I have a problem reading and loading items of a collection which belongs to another collection in VB 2005. Those are all nodes of XML file. For example:
Toto is a node in XML file, an item of collection Tocollect and also a child-node of Tocollect, Tocollect is an item of Collect and a child-node of it.
When writing the code, are there any differences between this situation and that a single object belongs to a collection or a collection belongs to an object?

"There really is nothing like a weekend getaway to the mountains. After an early morning of coffee and coffee, I decided to go on one of the many hikes this community boasted. Because I am an overachiever and think I'm a triathlete, despite never having attempted one, I headed to the most difficult trail. It read on the complex map "MOST DIFFICULT." Well, that was for me.

I took a walk in the woods on Saturday. All by myself. This may not sound like a big deal to some, but I'm—er, over 40 and have never taken a walk in the woods by myself before. As a family, we've done plenty of hiking all around the beautiful state of Michigan, as well as in several other states and countries. But on this particular day, my husband was out of town for work, and my kids were busy with their activities.

Mar 9th, 2013 1 person agrees 0 people don't
As a fan of games like VVVVV and Super Meat Boy, this looked interresting. It's ok, but the character movement was just a little too floaty for me. I got to the last checkpoint in the 4th (final) world and finally gave up. I may come back to it long enough to just finish those last few levels at some point, but it won't be for the enjoyment. It would just be so that I won't have a started but not finished game haunting me. I did like the soundtrack alot though and still have it on my Ipod actually. Like I said though, ok game, just too floaty for my liking.

In the fall of 2011 we made a short movie called The High Road. It was a simple idea about three very different fellows bonded by the same very urgent need. Well lo and behold, people really dug it - REALLY DUG IT, and the oft-heard comment was "I wish it were longer"... Well, we know enough to give the people what they want. We start shooting September 17 and are ready to do OUR part if YOU are ready to do yours.
The House Itself
A DRUG MOVIE WITH NO DRUGS... The House Itself is a very original take on an unoriginal subject. We have no desire to glorify or romanticize the "cool factor" or danger of drug use in any way. A "dope" movie like no other, the film's intent is to use drug addiction as a metaphor for misplaced desire, for looking for love in the all the wrong places. Now who can't relate to that?
The Back Story
REDEMPTION AND LIVES TURNED AROUND! The makers of this movie know of what they speak. All of them struggled for years with drug addiction and are now CLEAN! They all come out of the same AA "home group" for god's sakes. TJ Bowen (actor, co-writer) and Blake Heron (actor) met in a "Sober Living" and Tommy wrote Cool Runnings, and the others movies he is known for, under the influence…in 2007 his alternative lifestyle led to open heart surgery, a near fatal bleeding ulcer and two brutal months in the hospital. Now all of them are thriving and thrilled to have a chance to make a unique, entertaining, and authentic movie.
Who Are We?
Tommy Swerdlow, our writer and director, came to Los Angeles as an actor in 1983 and had a brief but successful acting career co-starring in movies such as Real Genius, Howard The Duck and Child's Play. He had a starring role in the Vietnam war film Hamburger Hill. He started writing movies in 1989 and is best known for Cool Runnings and Little Giants among others. He was the first writer on Shrek and was responsible for taking a six page book about an ogre and making a movie about a donkey and an ogre. He has written extensively in television as well and had an original series on the WB in 2000 called Brutally Normal.
Executive Producer Daren Hicks has supervised the production of some of the biggest movies ever, from Transformers to portions of Ironman 3.
Producers Lee Buckley and Clay Reed know what it takes to stretch our every dollar to its limit. We couldn't ask for a more experienced or dedicated team.
Cast members include:
Tommy Swerdlow
TJ Bowen
Blake Heron
Where Your Money Goes
We're all invested in this project, and all of our above-the-line (fancy term for expensive people) folks are dedicating their time. Our equipment is donated, our future is bright, but there are still areas of unavoidable hard costs.
First, the money goes to food. You'd be surprised at what it takes to feed 20-30 people a meal and a half every day for 3 weeks. It also goes to permits. Unfortunately, the fine people of the Los Angeles permitting offices don't distinguish between sizes of production. We pay as much as the big guys. With more donations, we get better locations. With better locations, we can provide a better movie. We are anything but frivolous, and know what it takes to stretch our dollars to their absolute limit. We're excited, focused, and determined to bring this story to life, and with your help, we can make it better and better.

Outright lies right in their headlines, from "Shocking: Fast Food Hamburgers Could be as Little as 2% ACTUAL Meat" (potentially true, but highly misleading) to "Courts quietly confirm MMR Vaccine causes Autism" (they didn't, and it doesn't). "

Misleading claims or unethical

Alternative or controversial medicine
This site contains misinformation on vaccines, to the extent where is may safely be described as active scaremongering.
It appears, as is so often the case with these antivax sites, to be linked to OTC supplement selling sites. The first one I looked at was touting testosterone as a supplement.
Dangerous misinformation, almost certainly with the aim of profiting from the fears generated in the gullible reader.

Bizarre site full of pseudoscience and crazy alt-med woo, with a side order of conspiracy theories.
It's virulently anti-vaccination, spreading lies and propaganda against it. Avoid this site if you value your health and the health of your children.
Bonus reason for avoiding it - the constant pop-ups asking you to like it on Facebook will give you the complete sh*ts. "
- clgood 07/07/2013
Hate, discrimination
This site is promoting the dangerous nonsense that autism is somehow linked to vaccines. This has been so thoroughly debunked that it is indefensible and irresponsible to continue peddling such nonsense. It is making people, mostly children, sick.
I doubt they can be trusted on any other subject given this. "
Misleading claims or unethical
It is amazing just how much WRONGness this website packs into one location. No, the courts have NOT said that vaccines cause autism -- because that is a dangerous and false claim. And that is just one of many. Heck, even the ads are providing disproven information, such as the one saying you can quit smoking using "subliminal" messages. "

Misleading claims or unethical
This site is riddled with logical fallacies, inuendo, cherry picking of sources and quotes taken out of context to support potentially dangerous views and the impression of being party to hidden knowledge and conspiracies, while trying to pull at the reader's emotions. Vaccination and immunization is a particular area of concern, where parents may not take account of the great weight of reliable scientific evidence that comes clean about real adverse vaccine reactions (which are thankfully extremely rare) but also points out the reduction in very serious, often deadly diseases that results from immunization, albeit without often resorting to appeal to emotion. Pertussis (whooping cough) deaths in babies too young to be vaccinated have resulted (e.g. poor Dana McCaffery) from outbreaks in Australia. Think twice before accepting the views posed here and putting your own child at risk. "
