The year marches on and on, conventions come and go and none of us ever gets any younger but between the looming shadow of death and the wasted potential of birth there is always genre. As ever, If you have any suggestions, feedback or think that you may have written something that deserves a wider audience then please do not hesitate to get in touch with me via the address on my website. Thanks.

And now, onto the links...

Dina Khapaeva wonders what it is that is so special about vampires:

If humans can be thought of as food for superior, and not only more powerful but also aesthetically more attractive—even if imaginary—beings, then this is a sign that the status of humans and humanity has been altered. It puts an end to the idea of human exceptionality

Aishwarya Subramanian looks at Karen Russell's Swamplandia!(2011):

The fantasy elements of the story are intangible and unsettling, but fit perfectly.

Gareth Rees undertakes a critical journey through the work of Adam Roberts including pieces on Gradisil (2006), Splinter (2007), Swiftly (2008) and New Model Army (2010):

Although I can see influences from both modernism and postmodernism in Roberts’ work, I think his books are actually a fairly traditional form of science fiction: idea-driven, short and punchy, not too bloated with world-building, aiming for an original mix of style and substance.

Shana Worthen begins her look at Justina Robson's Natural History (2003):

They are odd, they are Other, but their core of personality is human. Robson is inspired in the ways she demonstrates how different they are.

Nicholas Tam produces an essay on how to read Fantasy maps:

A map tells the reader that the creator of the fictional space has really thought this place out. Storytelling always happens in façades, but evidence of the author’s forethought fills out the setting’s illusion of depth.

Paul Charles Smith writes about Michael Cisco's The Great Lover (2011):

The absurd works in Cisco’s novels to provide a duality between the cosmic and the comic; his novels are very dark but they are also at times very funny

Matthew David Surridge interviews Claude Lalumière (part one and part two):

I find human culture to be extremely disturbing and alienating. I’m not in synch with the world as it is. That feeds into how I conceive my stories. My normal is not the consensus normal.

Jo Walton writes about Daniel Abraham's Long Price Quartet:

These are books about love and death and power, about gender and cultural expectations, about parenting and fertility, about growing up and growing old. The more I read them the better I like them, and I liked them a lot the first time.

John H. Stevens writes about the tendency to exaggerate the value of a favoured genre by denigrating all other genres:

Creating barriers and aggrandizing one strain of literature rarely creates understanding or heightens the appreciation of it. Such formulations can divide readers, pigeonhole works, and limit the pleasures and panoramas that all of literature, and the fantastic more particularly, can offer both writers and readers.

Karen Burnham reviews Karen Lord's Redemption in Indigo (2011):

It is both funnier and deeper than I expected when I picked it up (knowing little about it other than the fact that it won this year's Crawford Award), and it completely won me over.

Adam Roberts looks back at Ian Watson's Miracle Visitors (1978) :

The complete novel demonstrates amazing aesthetic and conceptual coherence, despite being built around an ontology that is deliberately incoherent; repeatedly lurching adjustments of our sense of what is constituted by ‘reality’ à-la-Philip Dick, though Watson is a much better writer of English prose than PKD

Graham Sleight Yesterday's Tomorrows column looks at the career of Fritz Leiber:

Leiber’s imagination was not just urban, it was one that was determined to be contemporary.

Damien G. Walter tries to work out the appeal of Military SF:

No real war can be fought without an enemy. A millennia ago the neighbouring county were the enemy. A century ago the neighbouring nation. But now that neither Germany or Surrey make credible adversaries we are having to look to the next star system for opponents.

Sam Kelly suggests that it is much harder for the privileged to write fantasy than it is for the oppressed:

One of the fundamental aspects of privilege is that it allows you to remain isolated from life, to an extent that others can’t. Write, as They say, what you know.

Cassandra Clare and Holly Black share their favourite GLBT young adult characters at a blog devoted to discussing the representation of GLBT people in YA fiction:

With every year, there are more offerings, but there are also older titles that we come back to again and again.

Matt Hilliard reflects on the entirety of Patrick Ness's Chaos Walking trilogy:

In the end, the transition of Noise from metaphor into magic culminates in some wizard duels where Todd and his antagonist cast magic missile at each other until someone loses. This actually sounds (and sometimes reads) worse than it is, since lurking beneath all this is the idea that Todd is genuinely connected to other people while the story’s various villains merely control them.

Elisabeth Rappe begins writing about HBO's Game of Thrones (episode one and episode two):

This isn’t Lord of the Rings, where you know Frodo will destroy the Ring one way or another. This is a story where a little boy already lies ill and injured from the machinations of others. Anything can happen. And does.

Maureen Kincaid Speller reviews Emily Gee's The Sentinel Mage (2011):

I have a suspicious mind and I also read rather more slowly than this narrative would like me to. So high a finish makes me think about misdirection and I wonder what it is I am being encouraged to overlook.

Karen Burnham chairs a three-part roundtable discussion about the utility of genre awards featuring Elizabeth Hand, Brett Cox, Andy Duncan, Terry Bisson, Gary K. Wolfe, Paul Di Filippo, John Kessel, Cat Rambo, Ellen Klages, Stefan Dziemianowicz, Tim Pratt, John Clute, Rachel Swirsky, Jeffrey Ford, Karen Joy Fowler, Brian Evenson and Paul Witcover (Part One and Part Two):

It is true that awards don’t often change much in your life, but the only way to know this for sure is to win some. So what changes is that you now know this, that awards don’t change your life and knowing this turns out actually to be a big change. It’s sort of a zen koan.

Kirstyn McDermott and Ian Mond return with another issue of their The Writer and The Critic podcast. This month they look at The Brief and Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao <2007) by Junot Díaz, Liar (2009) by Justine Larbalestier and Above/Below (2011) by Stephanie Campisi and Ben Peek:

Feed, as entertaining as it is, the political aspects are a lot less mature than what you get in Above/Below. Feed is a five hundred page book and Above/Below is... what? fifty thousand words split between two.

The Skara Brae Community House

Discussion in 'UO Lake Superior' started by Lord Reepacheap, Aug 20, 2010.

  1. For numerous reasons I won't get into I'll once again be discontinuing my UO account and am in search of somebody that would like to take over my house on Skara Brae. If you haven't been there it's the only house on Tram Skara Brae and is used as a community house. It seems like an awful waste to let it fall or to have it taken over by somebody who won't appreciate the heritage. While I make absolutely no stipulation on how long a player must keep the house, or even what they should do with it, I hope that I can find somebody that will treat it well, as that house is perhaps my fondest achievement in the game.

    Along with the house, and as added incentive, I'll be leaving a considerable number of my possessions (although not my best stuff) to whom ever takes it over. Anyone that's interested can post here or send an email directly to [email protected] .

    I don't want to make any personal good byes, as I have a horrid habit of returning to this game, so let's just say ttfn.

    Cheers and thanks for everything LS,
  2. I always liked the look of this house, and the overall intent behind it. I drop by there quite regularly, simply to enjoy the cosy atmosphere of a small stone and plaster cottage in the woods.
    While I would offer myself as a steward, I simply don't have any housing available. I just hope whoever takes it over has the community in mind, and not so much the item incentive. As it has, indeed, been a place of sanctuary and training for new and returning players over a number of years now.
    I don't believe I ever knew you, personally, but here's hoping you make a swift return to the game.

    Safe travels!

    Did you find someone to take the house? If not let me know and I'll take it and keep it as is. I have a house in Malas, but I am not too attached to it. I recently restarted my account so it would be easy for me to move right now.

    I will check back on Monday evening for your reply.

Felim collapsed into the snow, exhausted. It felt like it would be the last fall this time, his limbs stiffening and flesh numb. The adventurer had heard of natives that thrived out here, men who slew bears and made coats of seal fur. But who could build anything out here...?

Just as he felt light start to fade, Felim cast his gaze up to see the sky one last time. He was startled - or would have been, if his body had the energy - to see a furred hood and a leathery face with a toothless grin. "Ho there, brother!" it spoke. "You came to just the right place."

"From the tap."

Mathus nodded. "This way," he said, stepping from behind the bar and into the back room, the "customer" following.

A fresh-faced young man sitting at the bar looked around, confused. "Bristlebane? Sounds adventurous."

"You couldn't handle it, son," an older man said from across the plank bar with a hint of derision. "It'd right kick your ass."

On route from Geli to Nekrass the characters meet a peasant boy on the road. He's wandering in the direction from which they've just come. If this seems a little bit incongruous, they may wish to ask him a few questions. He's perfectly willing to talk: he's called Lamish and he's run away because he knows he is the heir to the throne of Geli and his parents didn't believe him. How far is his home? About five weeks walk from here. How much has he eaten? Nothing. Has he drunk? Only from the filthy roadside ditches. In short, it's a wonder he is still alive. And yet he seems perfectly healthy.

Is he a thief, waiting for travellers to trick? Is he lying because there's something more sinister under all of this? Is he telling the truth? And anyway, what should the characters do? Do you take him to Geli? Do you try to find his parents? Or leave him to make his own way?

Shake, Rattle and Roll Egg Decorating

Last weekend I was at Dollarama and found large plastic eggs, the largest that I have ever seen.
They open on the horizontal rather than the vertical so sit well on the table.  I also found little styrofoam eggs.  Put the two together and I thought we could decorate the eggs with these.

After opening the egg we spooned in paint.  At first we used pink, purple and yellow but found that it turned brown.

So took away the yellow for a nicer final look.

Add a styrofoam egg or a few. Put the lid on and start shaking.

We discovered that the styrofoam eggs were often to light to roll on their own.  They got stuck in the paint and wouldn't move.
Even turning the egg upside down didn't help.
Rolling it with our finger was messy and not as much fun.
We finally figured that something heavier needed to be in the egg to help the styrofoam egg move.
We added marbles.
It worked!
And a bonus is the sound it makes.

It was a very popular art table today.

  1. That's a very nifty egg! I love that its clear on one half - so the kids can see what's going on in there! What a fun and active way to get the kids involved in decorating eggs. I'm stressing about how to involve Henry in decorating this year - a simple shaking activity might be the way to go (but not for real ones!)

    I'd love for you to link up this post and come play with us today at It's Playtime!

    Jamie @ hands on : as we grow

  2. What a fun and creative idea! The kids look like they are having a blast and the finished product came out beautifully! Thanks for sharing. :)

  3. I loved this unique way of decorating styrofoam eggs! Way to think outside the box! Thanks for sharing with us at It's Playtime.

  4. I still gotta looking into finding those eggs! :) They're just awesome! hehe - Thanks for coming over to It's Playtime and linking this up last week. I'm featuring a few ideas to get the littlest ones involved and included this post!

    Jamie @ hands on : as we grow

  5. Great idea. And thanks for the tips on making it work easier. I'm going to dye eggs with my 2 year old today but I think I'll try this with my baby- just letting him shake some eggs- maybe in a shoe box. I wish I could find the large plastic egg. I saw some in someone's yard and loved them.

  6. Do you know what I think might work is a plastic throw away container for food. I've been buying premade salads at the grocer and it comes in a clear, see through, plastic clam shell like container. Put in the paint and egg and shake. You'd see the egg from all sides.

No, his mind is not for rent/ To any god or government

PK NOTE: Predictions are often-times a mistake to make, but here's one -- the first wide-spread #NoJustice protest for the No Limit Nigga himself, Trayvon Martin, will be in Indianapolis. The Indiana Black Expo is going on there (through next Sunday). A week of fiery speeches and incendiary conversations - couple with intense black violence already found in the city, a powerful reminder of the low-impulse control found in that community - will culminate in a mass march toward the end of the Expo.

Odds it turns violent? Considering blacks engage in wanton violence there without their intense hatred of George Zimmerman fueling their emotions, it's obvious the police state measures to keep the peace are incredibly smart.

The dust has yet to settle on the "not guilty" verdict issued by the six jurors in the case of George Zimmerman, who was accused of the second-degree murder (oh, and manslaughter) of Trayvon Martin.

But the zeal for blood and retribution runs high.
Don't go winking yet: The DOJ and the Obama Administration are coming

Never mind the police chief of the city of Sanford (Bill Lee) didn't want to file any charges against Zimmerman - claiming he was fired for that reason - and never mind the community where Zimmerman was attacked by Martin was on edge long before that ill-fated night in 2012 -- all that matters is the saga of a black kid being aggrieved, and by extension the entire black community/diaspora, ended with the wrong verdict. [NAACP calls on Obama admin to pursue civil rights charges against Zimmerman, Daily Caller, July 13, 2013]:
The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) has called on the Obama administration to pursue civil rights charges against George Zimmerman.
“BREAKING: Zimmerman acquitted on all charges.We will update you as we work to pursue civil rights charges against Zimmerman through the DOJ,” the official Twitter account of the NAACP tweeted Saturday evening after Zimmerman was acquitted of the murder of Trayvon Martin.
The NAACP also tweeted out a petition urging the Justice Department to “open a civil rights case against George Zimmerman.”
“Attorney General Eric Holder,” the petition reads, “The Department of Justice has closely monitored the State of Florida’s prosecution of the case against George Zimmerman in the Trayvon Martin murder since it began. Today, with the acquittal of George Zimmerman, it is time for the Department of Justice to act.”
“The most fundamental of civil rights — the right to life — was violated the night George Zimmerman stalked and then took the life of Trayvon Martin,” the NAACP wrote. “We ask that the Department of Justice file civil rights charges against Mr. Zimmerman for this egregious violation.”
“Please address the travesties of the tragic death of Trayvon Martin by acting today,” the NAACP wrote.
The head of the NAACP and Attorney General Eric Holder have both expressed their admiration for one another.
NAACP president Benjamin Todd Jealous wrote an op-ed for The Hill June 17 entitled “Attack on Holder is attack on civil rights,” which praised Holder, the head of the Obama administration’s Justice Department.
Organized Blackness has egg on its face.

Before anyone dismisses this NAACP plea, it's important to recall a speech given by Attorney General Eric "My People" Holder to Al Sharpton's National Action Network (NAN) conference in 2012, where he made it explicit one George Zimmerman was an enemy of the state. Remember: "My People" Holder doesn't believe whites should be protected by hate crime laws. [HOLDER: Whites Can’t Be Victims of Racial Injustice Because They Haven’t Suffered Enough, Breitbart, March 2, 2011]
Made it clear in a speech to Al Sharpton's NAN in 2012 he's coming for Zimmerman hell or high-water
And anyone who dares stand in the way of the progress of just his people. [Attorney General Eric Holder Speaks at the National Action Network 14th Annual Convention, Washington D.C., April 11. 2012,]:
These efforts could not be more important or more urgent – and, as you’ll discuss this week, that’s especially true in African-American communities.
Just consider the fact that, even though overall national crime rates are at historic lows, today the leading cause of death for young black men – those aged fifteen to twenty four – is homicide. And that, on average, 16 young people are murdered every day.
How can our nation risk losing so many of tomorrow’s leaders, teachers, artists, scientists, attorneys – and pastors? The answer, of course, is that we can’t.
I know that many of you are greatly – and rightly – concerned about the recent shooting death of 17-year-old Trayvon Martin, a young man whose future has been lost to the ages.
As most of you know, three weeks ago, the Department of Justice launched an investigation into this incident, which remains open at this time – and prevents me from talking in detail about this matter. However, I can tell you that, in recent weeks, Justice Department officials – including Assistant Attorney General for the Civil Rights Division Tom Perez, and United States Attorney for the Middle District of Florida Robert O’Neill – have traveled to Sanford, Florida, to meet with the Martin family, the community, and local authorities. The FBI is assisting local law enforcement officials. And representatives from the Community Relations Service – the Justice Department’s “peacemakers” – are continuing to meet with civil rights leaders, law enforcement officers, and area residents to address – and to help alleviate – community tensions. We’re also communicating closely with local, state, and federal representatives and officials.
In all of these discussions, we’re listening carefully to concerns – and emphasizing that the Department will conduct a thorough and independent review of the evidence.
Although I cannot share where current efforts will lead us from here, I can assure you that, in this investigation – and in all cases – we will examine the facts and the law. If we find evidence of a potential federal criminal civil rights crime, we will take appropriate action. And, at every step, the facts and the law will guide us forward.
I also can make you another promise: that – at every level of today’s Justice Department –preventing and combating youth violence and victimization is, and will continue to be, a top priority.
As our nation’s Attorney General – and as the father of three teenagers – I am determined to make the progress our young people need and deserve. And I am proud that, under this Administration, the Justice Department has made an historic commitment to protecting the safety – and potential – of our children.

The "progress our young people need and deserve" and "I am proud that, under this Administration, the Justice Department (sic) has made an historic commitment to protecting the safety - and potential - of our children."

The Obama Administration and the Department of Justice - namely Eric "My People" Holder, the embodiment of the type of black leader in the revolution of San Domingo who gleefully ordered the slaughter of whites - still have George Zimmerman in their sights.

Remember: it was the racial division of the Zimmerman-Martin saga, fomented by a lap-dog media, that enabled Obama to convince blacks to show up at the polls in 2012.

A federal civil rights crime in 2013 America is merely standing tall and saying that the Al Sharpton's of the world are wrong (whoops, National Review's editor didn't do that in 2012); the Eric Holder's of the world are wrong; the type of community - and lack of social capital - No Limit Nigga's create is wrong; and that the black dysfunction  Holder bemoaned in his address to NAN back in 2012 is a product of black individuals, and is no longer a responsibility of white people to deal with.

It's a responsibility of white people to avoid entirely.

Can you imagine being George Zimmerman right now? His life will never be the same.

He will have to move, and all it takes is one groid finding out where he is, and going on twitter or facebook.

If he gets a package sent to him, or a pizza, or if he puts anything including utilities in his name anywhere at anytime, all it will take is one groid clerk or employee running to the internet and putting a bulls-eye on him.

On the other hand, Trayvon's dysfunctional, idiot parents hit a huge lawsuit payday, and get to be civil rights heroes. Watch for the book, movie, and video game deal. They'll have all the skittles and iced tea they can dream of.

There are too many ways to be tracked down now. George Zimmerman will never be safe in the United States.

Yeah, I'm Trayvon was well on his way to becoming a computer programmer or architect. What kills me the most when they trot this line out is that the blacks who DO succeed (in roles other than religious or "community" leader) get dragged down by their fellows for "acting too white".

But, I guess I should be grateful for the outcome and just hope that my city doesn't explode in the next few days... The bar is set so low for these people.

For those who somehow think Eric Holder will refrain from going after GZ on civil rights charges, dream on. The only way he would not do so would be under direct edict from squid central. It's not as if the Repukes would do anything to stop him. Keep in mind that just a year ago we had all manner of Repuketards crowing about how Holder was going to be removed thanks his lawless 'Fast and Furious' campaign. Eric Holder still has his job, which is more than we can say for Todd Akin (who was actually a halfway decent congressman).

GZ and his lawyers won the first round against the lawless feminista bitches Angela Corey (appointed by Jeb Bush) and Judge Nelson (TWMBN - appointed by the shrubbery himself), who wildly overplayed their hand. It will be nearly impossible for GZ to avoid getting convicted in Federal court if Holder files charges. As one Federal prosecutor boasted: "we can convict a ham sandwich if we want to." The unknown factor in all this is whether there are significant numbers of whites who are starting to see through at least a few of the more blatant lies. If there are, the squids may well order D'Won and Holder to back off. After all, if too many white folks start to hear that giant sucking sound (of all their assets being drained away), things could get unstable - which is bad for biznisss.

pat said...

I don't think so. I think the word will come down from on high that this one should be allowed to just blow over.

The bloom is off the Obama rose. Two years ago I think they would have pushed this kind of case for all it's worth. But lately white liberals have begun to have questions. Just a few years ago Obama got the Nobel Peace Prize. He had had no record of being particularly peaceful. Certainly he had no record of accomplishment is the peace area or any other. Yet people around the world were eager to anoint him with the mantle of 'peacemaker'.

Most of the people who supported Obama the peacemaker then are embarrassed now. Too many drones. His peaceful actions nowadays look more like incompetent befuddlement rather than some high moral stance.

Obama has already been accused of simple black favoritism. He announced his stance on this incident two years ago. It was to him a racial question. He said in effect that Trayvon was 'one of us', a child of my blood.

If Obama strongly supports the 'Trayvon Martin was an innocent child theory' he can kiss the House goodbye in the 2014 elections. Too many people have now seen some of the actual events without the filtering that that the MSM provided. Also I expect more revelations about Martin's past to emerge.

For example it appears that Skittles and Watermelon Juice are ingredients in some ghetto drug concoction called 'Lean' or 'Purple Drank'. There have been persistent rumors that Martin was in fact a member of a gang, possibly a burglary gang. I don't really know but I'm sure that Obama knows. My guess is that Obama will be reluctant to press to hard on a case that relies on the public accepting the beatitudes of Trayvon Martin's character.

Where are all of the civil rights violation charges filed against black yoofs who kill black yoofs? Did they not violate, as stated, their victims ultimate civil right: the right to life? Ooops, I guess that doesn't qualify for such. I did enjoy watching that sorry ass Piers Morgan on CNN last night, trying to bait GZ's brother by saying "Trayvon was unarmed. He only had a bag of Skittles and an iced tea." After he repeated this several times, GZ's brother explained that Trayvon was armed with his FISTS. Here, I thought he broke Zimnerman's nose with the Skittles. Maybe the DWL media thought Zimmerman's injuries were self-inflicted, perhaps to frame the innocent and pure Trayvon.

Outdoorsman said...

Some questions and observations regarding the GZ trial:

1) If No-Limit Nigga had succeeded in getting GZ's gun during the "incident" (which would probably have entailed the watchman's demise), how many white babies in strollers would "Trayvon" have shot in the face by now?

2) In the minds of the negroids that are allowed to run loose in human society, any instance of perceived "disrespect" ("why yo' followin' me, creepy ass cracka?") is considered a more serious transgression than aggravated battery. St. Trayvon's instinctive reaction to being observed by GZ -- rage -- mirrored the etiquette and rules of interaction prevalent within chimpanzee social groups. St. Trayvon's overt and premeditated physical attack on GZ for merely "following" him is considered justified according to the social norms of negroid pack behavior.

3) Negroids were prepared to trust the court with determining GZ's guilt, but not his want of guilt. This suggests that, for the negroid,

a) The verdict in a case comes at the beginning of a trial, and not its end,

b) Criminal court proceedings do not exist to determine guilt or innocence, but to punish, and

c) Legal definitions of guilt depend upon the identity of the defendant, the nature of his offense, and the identity of the victim, rather than inflexible and universally applied legal principles.

All of the above inevitably infers the unfitness of the negroid species for citizenship, the franchise and participation in any form of complex human social organization, and above all, the terrible danger to Whites that Negroes in government constitute.

4) Negroid hatred and envy of Whites took on a life of its own in turning a Mestizo (I offer nothing for or against GZ) into a "Cracker." GZ's obvious non-white racial morphology was here superseded by squid "branding" techniques a la Bernays. This also demonstrates the pack psychology inherent to the negroid species, and the dangerous weapon they represent in the hands of those able to manipulate them.

5) Coverage of the GZ trial in the squid-owned UK press inadvertently includes startlingly revealing photos of blatantly simian specimens "protesting" for St.Trayvon, as well as the "decedent's" obviously simian "girl" friend and star prosecution witness:

The negroid, due to its primitive nature, infantile narcissism and inability to comprehend higher concepts of social interaction and impersonal norms of behavior, constitutes a clear and present danger to any human societies in which it is allowed to roam.

I'm 100% in agreement with albertosaurus on this one. There won't be any fed moves on this guy, overtly, because it can and will be done covertly.

Scenario: As pat said, Obama's in the tank numbers wise, so if he and My People witch hunt this further it could hurt them. Instead... Zimmerman will move anywhere in the world, and change his to name to whatever. The minute he does PRISM will have already tracked his location, legal change of name, etc.

This info will "somehow" leak to the local orc enforcers in that area who will then put the hit in on Zimmy and be fucking national heroes to BRA for doing so. Even if they go to jail they will be the literal Rockstars of the prison world and be treated as gods all the rest of their days.

I did not follow the trial in great detail but can't (hasn't) it been asked WHY Martin did not just run home (only a couple hundred yards away) when a "creepy" looking man was following him? It appears that Martin was also exercising the "stand your ground" doctrine except he didn't count on Zimmerman being armed.

Californian said...

I did want to say this: regardless of where this goes, Zimmerman's acquittal is a victory for race realism. It shows how a single man can stand against the system of BRA--against the rigged DoJ, the DWL media, the race hustlers, the grievance-industrial complex.

And I will say that the existence of websites like SBPDL was a factor in Zimmerman's victory. These websites have provide the infowar insurgent alternative to the DWL media and just may have tipped public perceptions enough to let reality shine into the proceedings.

Which is why it is vital that the pressure be kept up. It's a long struggle ahead, and the Zimmerman case just may be a turning point.

Obama can pull this one out yet. Let him call another "beer summit". He can invite: Gates, the cop who arrested Gates, Zimmerman, Trayvon Martin's parents, the fired police chief, Judge Nelson and Eric "My People" Holder.
He can serve chitterlings, purple drank, fried chicken and collared greens.
He can invite DWLs and charge them $10,000 a plate.

3) the ONLY way to kill this beast is to get our money out of everything we can to wreck the financial system;

All this talk about Justice for Trayvon. Yet when a black male is killed on the street in AnyCity USA, justice gets thrown out the window via the "no snitchin'" code of the street. This was never about Trayvon Martin, but race pimps and the MSM (race stories=ratings) whooping up the black masses. Black ministers have known for years that blacks are the easiest people to dupe into believing just about anything. In this case, it's placing Martin onto the Mt Rushmore of "black victims of white racism"...a la Rosa Parks, MLK, Emmitt Till, Rodney King etc. The fact that every year, hundreds of blacks never get charged for murdering other blacks (via no snitchin silence) well, never you mind, whitey.

Big Bill said...

Look, black folks by and large know that Trayvon got what was coming to him.

You aren't going to see massive protest. Lets face it. In Detroit the justifiable homicide rate has skyrocketed in the last few years.

The number of brothers getting killed--legally--in self-defense-- by other brothers in Detroit is almost ten times as high as it was just five years ago. And the few remaining (black) Detroit cops are just fine with that sort of black vigilantism.

Black folks know you have to kill the hood rats to stop them. And they are killing the sh!t out of them in Detroit.

They don't like to say so in front of De White Folks, of course. It is pretty embarrassing when you got to kill so many of your own kids, after all. But they know what Trayvon had on his mind.

And their towns and cities are bankrupt now because no one can stop those sorry young fools.

It is the Entertainment types and White Liberals that are wetting their panties over Trayvon.

They are doing it for show, mainly. Beat their chest and make like they actually give a damn.

Most black folks are just setting back and ignoring the whole hoo-hah.

They know it is their own sons and daughters that are shooting them right off their front stoops, not the Demon White Man.

No way. The Niggers In Charge are better off keeping the groids perpetually pissed off, with yet-another data point in their genetic memory.

"Where are all of the civil rights violation charges filed against black yoofs who kill black yoofs? Did they not violate, as stated, their victims ultimate civil right: the right to life?"

Excellent point! Under this logic, every murder case, whether or not the races involved or the same or different, would then be a "civil rights" case. Well, unless the victim is a white person. That's different, of course. They probably had it coming. You know, white privilege and institutional racism and all..

And what about Dr. Gosnell - severing the spinal cords of (mostly niglets) viable, infants, breathing on their own outside the mother's body? No? That's NOT a civil rights violation? Oh! That's right - he was black (or half-breed).

That seems to be a black custom, to trademark the name of the dearly departed in memorium. MLK's family did it, Mandela's family is squabbling over who has the rights to trademark his name and speeches, and Traythug was barely cold when his "mama" (not the woman who "raised" him) trademarked his name. They take more note of their "lobed ones" once they're dead, if they're conceivably worth any money, than they ever did when they were alive.

community tensions

Let's all understand what this phrase means: extortion by threat of violence.

It's a dynamic also commonly practiced by Muslims. For example, Muslims kill some Copts, then demand "reconciliation" to help "heal community sentiments". The reality is that there's an implied threat to kill even more Copts if they get all uppity and demand an end to the murders. The psychological dynamic of this is horribly sick, on both sides.

the Justice Department has made an historic commitment to protecting the safety – and potential – of our children

How to Make Rum: Brew And Distil in Under 2 Weeks

Make rum at home
David Dawson
Written by David Dawson

Like most types of alcohol, rum is made by distilling specific ingredients. Different types of alcohol require different ingredients and, in some cases, the process can differ depending on what you wish to produce and the quality you wish to achieve. Learning how to make rum can be fun as well as useful. It’s not just about the final result but rather the learning process that you will be able to tell all of your friends about as you let them enjoy a taste.

Rum is usually made from sugarcane byproducts. Molasses is a good example of a popular main ingredient. Commercially, rum is largely produced by Latin America and the Caribbean, but many other countries around the world have followed this popular trend. Not to mention those who enjoy making their own rum at home.

The history of rum

Rum has a long and fascinating history. It is believed that the first rum-like drinks originated from countries like India and China. In these countries, there is evidence that alcoholic beverages were produced from sugarcane juice. The Malay people are also known to have produced a drink called “brum” which dates back thousands of years. The first documented cases of distilled rum date back to the 17th century.

The history of rum

This Caribbean rum was manufactured on sugarcane plantations as the molasses that remained as a byproduct of sugar refining was (and still is) perfect for making rum. While various historical accounts and records indicated slightly different origins of this drink, it’s hard to ignore records of rum production in Brazil in the1620s; as well as a bottle of rum found on the Vasa (a Swedish warship) which sank back in 1628.

Clearly there is some truth behind rum being favored by sailors! Rum gained, even more, popularity over the years in North America, during the colonial period, and the demand for this drink became so great that they set up their own distilleries. New England was known for its great production output, and this was one of the industries that helped build and shape the nation.

Benefits of drinking rum

When you enjoy your first taste of rum, it’s quite easy to understand why this particular drink has stood the test of time. While the excessive consumption of alcohol is quite obviously not recommended, moderate drinking of rum can prove quite beneficial.

  • Rum does not contain any fat or carbohydrates. The energy your body gets from this drink is due to the alcohol content itself.
  • According to various studies, moderate and responsible consumption of rum can add 2 to 5 years to your life!
  • Rum is known for thinning the blood and increases HDL (good) cholesterol. This helps prevent peripheral artery diseases and heart attacks.
  • Drinking rum can help increase your bone density. This means that it helps with osteoporosis.
  • Alcohol contains anti-microbial properties which help you fight off a nasty cold. It will provide you with warm, soothing comfort and the flavor is more appealing than your average over the counter medication. It’s important to note, however, that alcohol should not be consumed along with medication since this can result in adverse effects.

Proper storage

When you buy a bottle of rum at your local store, it can easily last indefinitely as long as it is stored correctly. This means that you need to keep the bottle in a cool, dry area and it should not be subjected to any direct sunlight. Storing rum is similar to storing any other type of alcohol and even wine. When you open the bottle, you will be exposing the contents to air and, since alcohol naturally evaporates, you can expect some of the flavor to escape if you leave the bottle open.

Keep cap closed

After pouring a glass, make sure that you secure the top in place immediately. If you want to store a bottle that has been opened, you should make sure that the cap or top has been tightly secured before setting it in the appropriate conditions. If you make your own rum, you will also need to seal each bottle properly before placing in storage. You can seal the bottle by hand or invest in a sealing device that will ensure longer lasting flavor. Remember to always test your rum before adding anything to the mixture or cooking with it.

If, for whatever reason, you notice a strange smell or slightly off taste, it’s best to discard that bottle. Test another bottle from the same batch if necessary and, if it’s up to standard, go ahead and enjoy!

Interesting uses for rum

Rum is most obviously enjoyed as a beverage. That said, like many other alcoholic drinks, there are a number of other great uses to keep in mind:

  • Rum acts as an antiseptic which means that you can disinfect your hands if you don’t have any soap.
  • Rum can be used as a kind of sleep aid (in moderation of course).
  • Some say that rum acts as an aphrodisiac.
  • Rum can help soothe the painful sting of a snakebite. Medical treatment should always be the first priority, of course, but this is a safe way of relieving the pain while you wait for help to arrive.
  • Rum can be combined with lemon and honey in case of a bad cold.
  • Rum is great in many recipes. Other than being an important ingredient in many cocktails, it can also be used in savory and sweet dishes.

Making rum at home

Before you begin, it’s important to understand the entire process and what you will need in terms of ingredients, equipment, and other supplies.

Crafting the rum

Preparation is essential whenever brewing any kind of alcohol and rum is no exception.

Gather your ingredients

To make a batch of about 0.5 to 0.8 gallons, you will need the following ingredients. If you wish to make a larger quantity, you need only multiply the batch while maintaining the same ratio.

  • 5.5 lbs of molasses
  • 5.5 lbs of processed sugar
  • 5.2 gallons of distilled water
  • 1.5 ounces of hydrated yeast
  • Extra distilled water for diluting the final solution
  • Spices for extra flavor (optional)

You will also need the following equipment:

  • A boiler for processing the mash
  • An airlock for the fermentation process
  • Hydrometer for testing the mash
  • A still
  • Tubes for siphoning and a siphon fixture attached
  • Glass collection vessel(s)
  • Oak barrel (optional) OR oak chips and cheesecloth
  • Bottles, caps, and bottle cap sealer

Preparing the mash

Start by placing the 5.2 gallons of distilled water into a clean boiler. The boiler needs to be perfectly clean and void of any impurities. Any kind of contamination can ruin your batch. All of your utensils should be sterilized in boiling water to get rid of any dangerous germs. Add the sugar and molasses to the water over a medium heat. You will notice the sugar will dissolve first, and the molasses will take considerably longer.

Don’t let the water boil but rather let it heat up slowly. When you notice small bubbles start to form, turn the heat off. Allow the mixture to cool to about 82 degrees Fahrenheit before adding the hydrated yeast. To make this part of the process easier, remove a few cups of the mixture and place n a large bowl or jug. Dissolve the yeast in this smaller quantity and wait for it to start to foam before adding it to the main mixture.

The fermentation process

The solution should be kept at a temperature of 77 degrees Fahrenheit. Watch the pot closely for when the airlock stops bubbling. Yeast requires heat to convert the sugar into alcohol. If need be, place a heater in the fermentation room so that a moderate temperature is maintained. The airlock on your pot will allow carbon dioxide to escape without letting any oxygen in. The fermentation process should take approximately 24 – 48 hours.

The fermentation process

Once the bubbling stops, you should let the mash sit for 3 to 7 days. Use a hydrometer to test the mash regularly. This handy piece of equipment allows you to measure the density ratio of a liquid to that of water. Measure daily until you reach the desired ratio. To do this, you will need to remove some of the mash and place in a cylinder. Place the hydrometer in the cylinder and swirl it around gently. Keep a record of each reading and, when you notice that the reading remains unchanged for three consecutive days, it’s time for the next step in the process.

At this point, it’s important to lower the temperature of the mash so that the yeast does not remain active. If you do not do this, your rum will most likely end up smelling and even tasting really bad.  The ideal temperature to achieve at this point is between 50 and 57 degrees Fahrenheit. Siphon the liquid out of the pot and into the still for the next step.

Place your collection vessel under the valve from the distillate before doing anything else. You always need to make sure that your system is prepared and that all connections are secure in order to prevent spillage or accidents. You will need to connect the coolant input to a water source since this helps to cool the alcohol vapors. As the vapors cool down, they will condense and form liquid ethanol. This liquid then drips down into the collection vessel. Once everything is connected and you are ready to begin, it’s time to siphon the mixture into the still.

Distillation of rum

Do so very carefully from the top of the mixture. The leftover yeast and other solid particles will remain closer to the bottom of the boiler and you want to avoid siphoning anything except the liquid itself. For making rum, you should bring the mixture to a slow boil and, once the liquid reaches about 122 to 140 degrees Fahrenheit, it’s time to run the cold water for the cooling process. You will notice the clear drops start to make their way out and into the collection vessel.

It’s important to discard the first 3.38 fl ounces. This is for safety reasons because it is usually highest in methanol which means that it can be extremely harmful or even fatal if consumed. Discard the first few ounces and proceed to gather the rest into a larger collection vessel. Continue with the distillation process until the temperature reaches about 204.8 degrees Fahrenheit. Turn off the heat followed by the cold water. Make sure that you open the lid of the still so that you don’t create a vacuum inside the still.

Completing the process

An optional part of the process is to age your rum in oak barrels. Professional commercial producers usually age rum in oak or toasted oak barrels for about 10 years or more. This helps give the rum a deeper color and flavor. If you don’t want to wait 10 years to enjoy the fruits of your labor but you still want that oak aroma and taste, you can add toasted oak chips to your rum. Allow them to soak for three weeks before filtering the mixture using something fine like a sheet of cotton or cheesecloth.

Completing the process

Depending on your still, your rum could initially be 95% alcohol. This is extremely strong for any kind of consumption, and it’s important to dilute the alcohol with distilled water. Depending on the alcohol content, you will need to add enough water so that you end up with a reading of about 45% alcohol.

Anything stronger is quite dangerous, and if you water it down too much, you will sacrifice the flavor. Your rum is basically ready at this point but, if you like, you can add some extra flavors to spice it up.

Good examples of ingredients you can add include cinnamon, cloves, and ginger. You should allow the spices to soak in the rum for about 1 or 2 weeks before removing them. Avoid using the powder form! Use the whole cinnamon sticks, whole cloves, and large pieces of ginger. Some even like to add small quantities of caramelized sugar to the mixture in order to improve the flavor and give it a deeper, richer appearance.

Bottling and storing

No matter how much rum you make, it’s always a good idea to store smaller quantities in individual bottles. Pour the batch you’ve made into several bottles and seal each of them properly with a sealing machine. This is far more effective than simply securing the bottle cap by hand. Now, when you want to open and enjoy your rum, you need only open one bottle at a time!

Storing a rum

If you store your rum in a large vessel, it will be exposed to oxygen multiple times and the seal may not be as perfect as it should maintain a high level of quality.

Important considerations

Before you start distilling your own rum, it’s important to make sure that you adhere to the local laws. Different countries and states are governed by different regulations, and it’s important to abide by them. Always use quality equipment and don’t settle for second best. By buying the correct tools, you will get much more use out of them and a better, safer product. Distil your rum outdoors.

Due to the flammable nature of any alcohol, fire is always a possible risk. This is why you should not distil in your home, and you should always keep a fire extinguisher handy. Inspecting your equipment on a regular basis is crucial. Even the smallest leak can cause loss and damages if a fire results.

Remember to always stand by your still when in operation. If an accident or malfunction should occur, you need to be there to solve the issue immediately before it escalates. When collecting the finished product, you should always allow it to flow into a glass bottle or container of sorts. This ensures that the flavor is not affected, and it’s the safest for storage purposes as well.

Drinking and cooking with rum

Now that you have made your first fresh batch of rum, it’s time to put it to good use! Rum can be enjoyed in various cocktails such as daiquiris, the Dark and Stormy, El Presidente, and Pina Coladas. Of course, many rum drinkers enjoy a simple blend of rum and cola or rum straight up.

Cooking with rum

As for cooking, rum can be used to flavor a number of cakes and desserts as well as savory dishes that include chicken as a prominent ingredient. Some delicious examples include bananas cooked in rum and served with vanilla ice cream, chicken and pineapple kebabs (using rum in the marinade), and even raisin biscotti soaked in rum!

    How much sugar is too much sugar?
    I read that some people had health issues caused by homemade rum with way too much sugar in.

  • We are certain that the article will help you make rum without too much sugar.

  • Earl Myers

    It is unfortunate though that in the United States, under Federal Prohibition-era law, it is not legal to manufacture spirits at home even for personal consumption. However in New Zealand, home distilling has been legal since 1996. Only a handful of fires have resulted and it has been proven as safe as home cooking on a stove.

    • izraulhidashi

      Yeah. It really puts the illusion of freedom in perspective.

      • David Dawson

        You get to have a taste of your own making for a change, because you control what goes into the rum.

  • David Dawson

    Brewing and distilling drinks, such as rum, is a great skill to learn, but you should always take extra precautions.
