Bure limps out of game
Agent says Pavel's 'facing a very uncertain future'

It seems we've seen the last of the Russian Rocket's red glare.

The most exciting player in the history of the Vancouver Canucks isn't "officially" retiring yet.

And, as long as Pavel Bure is young, there is always hope given the way he loves the game of hockey.

But his knees simply won't permit him to perform in any way even remotely close to his diminished form of last season.

This is a neat eye-candy to make some variation in those regular lakes/rivers. It's pretty simple to make: just lay down some shallow water, tuna fish and flowers close together, and decorate with specks of shallows, sea rocks and maybe a shipwreck.

My reference to pudding is that often people think that the more posts a person has, the more useful they are. I however, disagree... To me it's whether your post adds any real value to the thread that's more important, depending on the topic of course ;) :p

Bread Pudding Surprise
From Camille O. Cosby


I love this bread pudding recipe because it makes me feel connected to my grandmother and to my father. My father learned the bread pudding recipe from his mother, then gave it to me and my brothers and sister. It is a recipe that will be passed to my children and, hopefully, to their children, Consequently, the bread pudding recipe will be perpetual.

Ingredients


4 c. of day-old French bread (torn into one-inch pieces)
2 c. milk
1 c. apple juice
1 whole egg plus
4 egg whites
1/3 c. sugar
1 tsp. vanilla
1/2 tsp. nutmeg
1/8 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 to 3/4 c. raisins
1 tbsp. margarine
6 tbsps. fresh bread crumbs
1 tbsp. brown sugar
You will need:

absolutely one adult
measuring cup
2-qt. saucepan
2 qt. mixing bowl
egg beater or whisk
measuring spoons
small frying pan
4x8-inch bread pan
large mixing spoon
baking pan (larger than bread pan)
oven mitts

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Warm the milk and apple juice in saucepan. Beat egg and egg whites in bowl; add 1/3 cup sugar, vanilla, nutmeg, and cinnamon; add bread, warm milk, and juice. Let mixture sit 20 minutes. Grease the bread pan with 1/2 of the margarine. Layer the bottom of the pan with 1/3 of the mixture; sprinkle with 1/2 of the raisins, repeat procedure for next layer, then end with bread mixture on top layer.

In frying pan melt remaining margarine; add fresh bread crumbs until golden; add brown sugar, then sprinkle the mixture over layered bread pudding. Place bread pan into larger pan, which contains enough hot water to come half way up the side of the bread pan. Bake until knife inserted into pudding comes out clean (approximately 45 to 60 minutes).

Remove from oven with mitts, cool, then refrigerate.

Serves 12.

Two guys run frantically down the road as they are being chased. By what or by whom is unknown at this point, but death is certainly creeping upon them. They run and run, till their lungs fill with breaths of fire, the expanding and contrasting is bringing them to their knees. Their muscles ache with pain as each step rips and tears at cartilage, muscle fiber and to the core of their bones. It has been a run that seemed to age them, and there is no end in site. Suddenly one of the two falls. He had tripped over the tinest of pebbles sitting in the road directly in front of him. The other, sparing not a second lugs his fallen comrade up and supports him like a mouse holding up a rhino. For his comrade is nearly twice his height and three times his weight. The knees of the fallen one are scraped all to hell, blood oozes out in spurts. There is no time to apply the badly needed guaze and dressing to the wound. They have got to move on. Time is wasting, and for them, every second could be their last.

Little did they know....






















































Tune in next week for the not so exciting conclusion to this waste of time story.

Exactly!!! Look at me! All talk and nothing worth a Bone.

ONE summer's morning a little tailor was sitting on his table by the window; he was in good spirits, and sewed with all his might. Then came a peasant woman down the street crying, "Good jams, cheap! Good jams, cheap!" This rang pleasantly in the tailor's ears; he stretched his delicate head out of the window, and called, "Come up here, dear woman; here you will get rid of your goods." The woman came up the three steps to the tailor with her heavy basket, and he made her unpack the whole of the pots for him. He inspected all of them, lifted them up, put his nose to them, and at length said, "The jam seems to me to be good, so weigh me out four ounces, dear woman, and if it is a quarter of a pound that is of no consequence." The woman who had hoped to find a good sale, gave him what he desired, but went away quite angry and grumbling. "Now, God bless the jam to my use," cried the little tailor, "and give me health and strength;" so he brought the bread out of the cupboard, cut himself a piece right across the loaf and spread the jam over it. "This won't taste bitter," said he, "but I will just finish the jacket before I take a bite." He laid the bread near him, sewed on, and in his joy, made bigger and bigger stitches. In the meantime the smell of the sweet jam ascended so to the wall, where the flies were sitting in great numbers, that they were attracted and descended on it in hosts. "Hola! who invited you?" said the little tailor, and drove the unbidden guests away. The flies, however, who understood no German, would not be turned away, but came back again in ever-increasing companies. The little tailor at last lost all patience, and got a bit of cloth from the hole under his work-table, and saying, "Wait, and I will give it to you," struck it mercilessly on them. When he drew it away and counted, there lay before him no fewer than seven, dead and with legs stretched out. "Art thou a fellow of that sort?" said he, and could not help admiring his own bravery. "The whole town shall know of this!" And the little tailor hastened to cut himself a girdle, stitched it, and embroidered on it in large letters, "Seven at one stroke!" "What, the town!" he continued, "The whole world shall hear of it!" and his heart wagged with joy like a lamb's tail. The tailor put on the girdle, and resolved to go forth into the world, because he thought his workshop was too small for his valour. Before he went away, he sought about in the house to see if there was anything which he could take with him; however, he found nothing but an old cheese, and that he put in his pocket. In front of the door he observed a bird which had caught itself in the thicket. It had to go into his pocket with the cheese. Now he took to the road boldly, and as he was light and nimble, he felt no fatigue. The road led him up a mountain, and when he had reached the highest point of it, there sat a powerful giant looking about him quite comfortably. The little tailor went bravely up, spoke to him, and said, "Good day, comrade, so thou art sitting there overlooking the wide-spread world! I am just on my way thither, and want to try my luck. Hast thou any inclination to go with me?" The giant looked contemptuously at the tailor, and said, "Thou ragamuffin! Thou miserable creature!"

"Oh, indeed?" answered the little tailor, and unbuttoned his coat, and showed the giant the girdle, "There mayst thou read what kind of a man I am!" The giant read, "Seven at one stroke," and thought that they had been men whom the tailor had killed, and began to feel a little respect for the tiny fellow. Nevertheless, he wished to try him first, and took a stone in his hand and squeezed it together so that water dropped out of it. "Do that likewise," said the giant, "if thou hast strength?" "Is that all?" said the tailor, "that is child's play with us!" and put his hand into his pocket, brought out the soft cheese, and pressed it until the liquid ran out of it. "Faith," said he, "that was a little better, wasn't it?" The giant did not know what to say, and could not believe it of the little man. Then the giant picked up a stone and threw it so high that the eye could scarcely follow it. "Now, little mite of a man, do that likewise." "Well thrown," said the tailor, "but after all the stone came down to earth again; I will throw you one which shall never come back at all." And he put his hand into his pocket, took out the bird, and threw it into the air. The bird, delighted with its liberty, rose, flew away and did not come back. "How does that shot please you, comrade?" asked the tailor. "Thou canst certainly throw," said the giant, "but now we will see if thou art able to carry anything properly." He took the little tailor to a mighty oak tree which lay there felled on the ground, and said, "If thou art strong enough, help me to carry the tree out of the forest." "Readily," answered the little man; "take thou the trunk on thy shoulders, and I will raise up the branches and twigs; after all, they are the heaviest." The giant took the trunk on his shoulder, but the tailor seated himself on a branch, and the giant who could not look round, had to carry away the whole tree, and the little tailor into the bargain: he behind, was quite merry and happy, and whistled the song, "Three tailors rode forth from the gate," as if carrying the tree were child's play. The giant, after he had dragged the heavy burden part of the way, could go no further, and cried, "Hark you, I shall have to let the tree fall!" The tailor sprang nimbly down, seized the tree with both arms as if he had been carrying it, and said to the giant, "Thou art such a great fellow, and yet canst not even carry the tree!"

Italian sub seems good choice

The Sandwichmaker
I know, it seems like it shouldn't make a difference, but it does. In order to achieve the perfect sub, the sandwich maker needs to be someone who not only enjoys, but also takes pride in his work.

The Bread
The bread is tricky. You need a bread that can hold its own against (and, more importantly, as part of) the sandwich. The bread needs to be strong enough that it won't fall apart holding the over-stuffed contents. The bread needs to have good flavor of its own, but not too much -- the bread should add to, but not distract from the sandwich.

The Condiments
One side of the bread should have mustard spread on it. The choice of mustard is tricky. Plain yellow mustard just won't do. You need something more, maybe a dijon or a spicy brown mustard -- but not too much more. You want to be able to taste the mustard, but you don't want its flavor overpowering anything else.
The other side of the bread should have mayonaise spread on it.

When all the ingredients are in the sandwich, the oil should be poured on. The oil should be used only lightly -- the end result should be that the bread is moistened, not that the sandwich is dripping.

Lastly, the sandwich should be lightly salted.


The Freshness of the Ingredients
This shouldn't need to be said, but, sadly, it apparently does. Everything used in the sandwich must be absolutely fresh. The bread baked no more than 48 hours ago. The lettuce crisp and crunchy. The tomatoes succulent and juicy. The pickles tart, crisp, and juicy. The meat fresh, tender, and tasty.

The Meat
I've said it already, but let me say it again: the meat should be fresh. Your typical Italian sub will have three meats, bologna, mortadella, and salami. The three meats need to compliment each other. The salami is the most important, and should be a fine Genoa samlami, good and tasty.
If there's only one layer of each kind of cold cut, you paid too much for the sandwich.


Shredded Lettuce
Big pieces of lettuce, bad; shredded lettuce, good. Shredded lettuce allows the oil, the juice from the tomatoes, and the pickle juice to permeate the sandwich freely, providing a more even, consistent taste.

Lots of Pickles
Little bits of chopped up dill pickle. Lots of them. So many that no matter how you pick up the sandwich to take a bite at least one or two pickle pieces fall off and there's still enough pickles per bite. Really. Unless your first reaction to seeing the sandwich is "Maybe there is such a thing as too many pickles...", there's not enough.

No Peppers
Peppers are simply a vegetable with far too much attitude to be in an Italian sub, either in their hot or green variety. (Actually, peppers generally shouldn't be used in anything...)

for Lynch and FG:

LSD RECIPE

LSD can be derived from the ergot virus which is commonly found on
hops and wheat. While it's possible to scrape the virus off the stalks
of these plants, there's a much easier way to get ergot...


Foster's Beer is one of the few beers made with ergot-containing grains,
and it is definitely the most available. First, you'll need some big, blue
cans of Foster's Beer, which you can purchase at most local supermarkets.

1. Buy 12 cans of Foster's Beer. In a pan, heat the beer to a slow boil, in
order to remove the water and isolate the ergot-containing compounds.
Boiling off the water should take approximately 36 hours -- don't rush
the process, or you risk damaging the ergot-containing compounds. As
the beer evaporates, simply add more beer. In this way, eventually, you'll
have the essential compounds from all 12 beers in the bottom of the pan.
2. It's now necessary to pH neutralize the slightly acidic ergotamine
solution, using a weak base. No-fat household milk is ideal for the job.
Mix in 1/4 cup of no-fat milk (be *sure* not to use milk with any milkfat)
and wait 30 minutes for the solution to reach equilibrium. At this point,
you have a weak solution of ergotamine with which you can continue the
process. It should be a creamy brown color and a bit gooey. Be careful,
because ergotamine is DEADLY POISON


3. Next, it's necessary to combine lysine with the ergotamine solution.
Lysine is available in most health food stores. You'll need about 2
grams of lysine (that's 20 100mg pills). Cool the ergotamine solution
to near freezing in your freezer (to avoid desosphyxiation with CO2
in the air). Now, simply grind the pills into a powder and mix into
your ergotamine solution. You now have lysergic acid.

4. You *want* LSD, lysergic acid diethylamide, however, and so you need
to ethylate your compound and then ammonate it. Sound hard?
IT ISN'T!


Simply add ethyl alcohol to the lysergic acid mixture. Pure grain
alcohol is ideal, but Bacardi 151 or some other high-proof alcohol will
work fine. Add 1 cup of pure alcohol, 1 1/3 cup of 151 proof, or
2 cups of 100 proof. Now, to remove the hydroxyls, add 6 cups of 4%
hydrogen peroxide (available at your local pharmacy) or 24 cups of
1% (stronger is better)

Be careful, because now your compound is HIGHLY VOLATILE


[Keep it away from open flames]

5. Now, for the final step in preparation, add 4 ounces of pure ammonia to
the solution and let sit at room temperature for 3 days. This waiting
period allows for the slow reaction to take place -- at higher
temperatures this reaction occurs much more quickly, but you risk
decomposition of the LSD. At the end of the three days, you've done it!


The expected yield of LSD is 100 grams, over 1,000,000 doses! Be VERY,
VERY careful at this point, because the solution you're dealing with is
*extremely* *concentrated*. If any gets on your hands, you could be
tripping for years! Now, put about 20 gallons of water in a barrel,and
stir in the LSD using a large oar. At this level of dilution, a 1/4
cup contains about 100 hits. You can dispense the hits using an eye
dropper (3 or 4 drops per hit).

my boyfriend and i, who has been tripping for years, and are very experienced with many different kinds of hallucinogens, have never been freaked out by a trip before, encoutered the worst night of our lives three nights ago.
i wanted to leave this as a warning for anyone who is looking for cheap legal trips like morning glories or hawaiin baby woodrose seeds to proceed with EXTREME caution. from taking 12-14 seeds, soaked, peeled, ground up and swallowed (as we have done many times before and had pleasant, normal, acid-like trips)... we experienced the kind of trip you would imagine getting from eating a sheet or two of acid.
the first tripping sensation was that my eyes would not stay still. it felt like coming out of a k-hole, or DXM, not a hallucinogenic feeling but a dissasociative effect... although the room was quickly becoming unrecognizable i could not focus on any visuale because my eyes were darting uncontrollably from side-to-side.

i then went into a strange trance- a computer access database that was arranging my subconscious into categories... the chronology of the trip is impossible to get straight but i can remember fragments of what was happening. there was a black hole sucking in fractals of light, i felt myself going into the black hole with the rainbows and then it sucked the rest of the room away and dropped me back on the bed.

i was in vivid childhood memories, in mid-memory it would turn me upside down and drop me into another memory. some were normal and pleasant and others were frightening parts of my subconscious that i honestly cannot decipher even now whether or not they are true or false memories. i thought i was a create-a-card machine for a long time and recall saying aloud 'its writing all over me',
its a hallucination that was recurrent over the night and even into the morning. the last thing i remember before the peak is feeling like a 2-dimensional line that was part of a series of lines.
i cannot recall anything from the peak which lasted approximately four hours. the only thing i can say is that i came out of it terrified and feeling the worst mentally and physically that i have ever felt in my life. i was terrified. it was the first time throughout the night that i realized the trip was going wrong.

i had tripped three times on the same dose of the same seeds and had wonderful and pleasant trips. the peak i cannot recall or explain in any way that makes sense, i remember purple, and circles and the rest of that was not solid or coherent in any way. it was so frightening, i was crying. i noticed that my boyfriend had gone into convulsions and i tried to ground him, all he said was 'im trying to come back', he's not sure if he meant he was trying to come back from the peak or if he thought he was dying. as i was coming down (still tripping harder than i ever have before) i noticed my heart was beating so fast i thought i was going to die. i threw up thick red blood, and so did my boyfriend while still tripping. for three hours we felt like our insides were being shredded up and that we were definitely going to die, i thought if i moved i would have a heart attack.

we went through self-blame and self-loathing and thought every bad thought it is possible to think- for 48 hours we could not move or eat. it was been almost four days now and we still feel like some major damage could have been done. If you decide to do this- please be careful. if you are not experienced with tripping- DO NOT DO IT. Do it inside under safe circumstances with people you trust and try to have some thorazine or compazine (it is kind of easy to get a prescription of compazine- its for nausea and i take it for migraines but i did not have any of it on me that night- and i was too ****ed up to know i was tripping anyway until after the peak ended)... that can bring down the trip if it goes wrong.

I am certain that if we had taken a higher dose we would be dead. Should you do it- start off with a low dose (7 or 8 seeds) and move up, never past 12 seeds!! Overdose of this even under normal circumstance can result in hallucinations (not just visuals), convulsions, coma and death! Use extreme caution.

Some lyrics from The Grateful Dead (the early years)

Dark Star

Dark star crashes, pouring its light into ashes.
Reason tatters, the forces tear loose from the axis.
Searchlight casting for faults in the clouds of delusion.
Shall we go, you and I while we can
Through the transitive nightfall of diamonds?

Mirror shatters in formless reflections of matter.
Glass hand dissolving to ice petal flowers revolving.
Lady in velvet recedes in the nights of goodbye.
Shall we go, you and I while we can
Through the transitive nightfall of diamonds?


The Eleven

High green chilly winds and windy vines
In loops around the twisted shafts of lavender,
They're crawling to the sun.

Underfoot the ground is patched
With arms of ivy wrapped around the manzanita,
Stark and shiny in the breeze.

Wonder who will water all the children of the garden
When they sigh about the barren lack of rain and
Droop so hungry neath the sky.

William Tell has stretched his bow till it won't stretch
No furthermore and/or it may require a change that hasn't come before.

No more time to tell how, this is the season of what,
Now is the time of returning with our thought
Jewels polished and gleaming.
Now is the time past believing the child has relinquished the rein,
Now is the test of the boomerang tossed in the night of redeeming.

Seven faced marble eyed transitory dream doll,
Six proud walkers on the jingle bell rainbow,
Five men writing with fingers of gold,
Four men tracking down the great white sperm whale,
Three girls waiting in a foreign dominion
Riding in the whalebelly, fade away in moonlight,
Sink beneath the waters to the coral sands below.

Well, actually if you want a scary trip, you just need to travel to the South emisphere in midseason, Like December. December is a good choice. Suppouse you go to Brazil, then you will have some confortable 11 hours of turbulance to remember the rest of your life. All this because the winds in the norht emisphere goes inverse than in the South. And at this time is when they are more predominant.
Ohh, sorry, you were talking about another kind of trip?????:hippy:

Diamagnetic levitation is the most surprising thing I have ever done in my life, so I thought I had better put something here about it. Just so the page isn't blank, ill start by putting in a picture of a magnet being suspended between 2 bismuth plates. I have found that if you melt down the bismuth and smooth out the flat side with sandpaper then a finer sandpaper then finally just paper, you can get bismuth to reflect like a mirror, except a little hazier. The smoother you get the bismuth, the better it works. With this experiment, you will be able to see the magnet bounce off its own magnetic fields being, I guess, repelled back from the bismuth. Click the picture to go to a good source for magnets.

FBI to arrest 'Blaster' virus hacker

From correspondents in Washington
August 29, 2003

THE FBI has identified a teenager as the author of a damaging virus-like infection unleashed on the Internet and plans to arrest him, a US official has confirmed.

The 18-year-old, whose name and hometown was not immediately available, was accused of writing one version of the damaging "Blaster" infection, which spread quickly across the Internet weeks ago, the official said, speaking on condition of anonymity.

The official asked that further identifying information about the teenager not be disclosed until his arrest.

Further details were expected to be disclosed Friday by the FBI and US attorney's office in Seattle, which has been leading the investigation. A news conference was scheduled for 2030 GMT.

A spokesman for the U.S. attorney's office there, John Hartingh, said there had been "no arrest made in this matter yet." He declined to comment further.

A witness reportedly saw the teen testing the infection and called authorities, the official said.

Collectively, different versions of the virus-like worm, alternately called "LovSan" or "Blaster," snarled corporate networks worldwide. The infection inundated networks and frustrated home users.

Symantec Corp., a leading antivirus vendor, said the worm and its variants infected more than 500,000 computers worldwide. Experts consider it one of the worst outbreaks this year.

The "Blaster.B" version of the infection, which began spreading August 13, was remarkably similar to the original Blaster worm that struck two days earlier; experts said its author made few changes, including renaming the infecting-file from "msblast" to an anatomical reference.

All the Blaster variants took advantage of a flaw in Microsoft's flagship Windows software. Government and industry experts had anticipated such an outbreak since July 16, when Microsoft acknowledged the flaw, which affects Windows technology used to share data files across computer networks.

The infection was quickly dubbed "LovSan" because of a love note left behind on vulnerable computers: "I just want to say LOVE YOU SAN!" Researchers also discovered another message hidden inside the infection that appeared to taunt Microsoft Chairman Bill Gates: "billy gates why do you make this possible? Stop making money and fix your software!"

Infected computers were programmed to automatically launch an attack on a Web site operated by Microsoft, which the software maker easily blunted. The site, windowsupdate.com, is used to deliver repairing software patches to Microsoft customers to prevent against these types of infections.

In the following pages you will find what we do, who we are, where you can find us, pictures of what we create, and how you can order a Divine Trinket or Treasure of your very own.

LOL, I agree with SupaStar at the start of this thread as a tactic to increase post marks :P may REV can develop something that takes into account the effectiveness of one's post. Have 2 counts, one for SPAM and one for effective help or maybe just a % of effective to SPAM posts...

Well it was fun reading all the crap that came from this thread and the more that will follow :D

Well, lets all have fun and see if we cant clock the post counter... what does it reset too? I just have to look at BB's it will go back to zero soon... right? :P

You have to do like me. I only answer a threath when I have something to say, and then I might write a long post, so it is all clear and I don't need to post again. That would count as 2 post, right?????? RIGHT????;)

If I posted just to increase my post count I would post Stuff like saying....
THIS IS MY POST #992
But I don't :p
BTW BB, that was very informative, really.
I didn't know any of this: codules, berries, peas in a pod, nads, gobblers, golden bowl.
That is a total of 5 new definitions today. I think I will go to bed before my head is overloaded with new info ;)

I remember the old days, when people used to put a clove of garlic in the pockets to confuse the younger people... err If you had a sore tooth, a handful of wasps in your tea plus honey made it all better... err and there were once 3 blind mice.

I have a good joke!

A woman was going to a blind store, He asked the cleark "I need blinds for my computer.". He responded "Why?".
And the women said "I run Windows!".

:D :D :D :D :msnsmile: :msnsmile: :msnsmile: :msnsmile: :msnwink:
