Cast iron has a porous surface. The seasoning process serves to fill and smooth the surface of the pan. It’s true that the more you use and season a cast iron skillet, the more nonstick the surface becomes.

Almost one out of every two people over the age of 50 now has a social network account. That’s up from 22% just one year ago, according to the latest study from the Pew Internet research group. 61% of those between the age of 30 and 49 now have a social network account, and a blistering 86% of 18- to 29-year-olds are connected to Facebook or Twitter, or some other social network site – they do exist.

The South Korean government, in an effort to raise money for its military, wants to sell nearly a million antique M1 rifles that were used by U.S. soldiers in the Korean War to gun collectors in America but the White House has blocked the sale, citing the M1 Garands would be used for “illicit purposes.” *** Lengthy Hayden’s Note attached ***

Iowa State University researchers have found a way to produce high-value chemicals such as ethylene glycol and propylene glycol from biomass rather than petroleum sources. All this happens without the use of any expensive reagents such as acids, enzymes, catalysts or hydrogen gas, Trahanovsky said. The process even works when there are impurities in the biomass.

It’s the armed eugenicist in the Discovery Channel building multiplied by a million. Not simply a lone eco-terrorist saying “parasitic human infants” must die, but one of the largest international financial institutions demanding it. In its 1984 World Development Report, the World Bank threatens nations who are slow in implementing the Bank’s “population policies” with “drastic steps, less compatible with individual choice and freedom.”

US Government bails out Afghanistan’s Central Bank in Kabul. Who’s the largest shareholder in the Central Bank? None other than one of President Hamid Karzai’s brothers, Mahmoud Karzai. His other brother, Amhed, is one of the largest warlords in the country having control over the southern provinces’ opium production and strategic transport routes used by private contractors.

Under the collaboration, Monsanto has taken a 19.9 per cent stake in cereal breeder InterGrain for an undisclosed sum…it could lift that stake to 26 per cent over the next five years as they develop new GMO wheat varieties. Please educate yourself about the dangers of consuming GMO food. I have linked several articles within that show hard data about sterility, genetic mutation in offspring, liver damage, neurological problems, etc. Monsanto’s Terminator Gene is a weapon of mass destruction.

A man known for protesting the Discovery Channel stormed the network’s Maryland headquarters carrying a handgun on Wednesday, taking a “small number” of hostages while appearing to have a bomb strapped to his chest, police said. Police later shot and killed him. If you’re familiar with the White House Science Czar John Holdren, you’ll find this manifesto oddly familiar. As crazy as this rant of James Lee’s sounds, it mirrors the demands of the White House Science chief in one of his books about forced sterilization, population control and more.

Congressman Ron Paul is in the news today doing what he does best: dropping firebombs on the Fed. Ron Paul stated that it’s a “possibility” that there in fact isn’t any gold in Fort Knox or the New York Federal Reserve.

Just over 200 years ago, Thomas Jefferson wrote a friend that, “The spirit of this country is totally adverse to a large military force.” Only when we again adopt this spirit will we be able to end the empire. Meanwhile, the wolf we have been feeding so generously is now powerful, arrogant and angry at its first real hunger pang.
