Real Bread in 10 Minutes, Saturday June 25th 2011 10am-1pm
Learn how to make fantastic home made bread that is easier, less expensive, faster and better than going to the store!
About the Class
Making bread is easier, faster and more flexible than you thought. You can make fantastic bread every day inexpensively with less than 10 minutes effort, including cleanup! In this class, you’ll learn techniques to minimize the ordinary and maximize the extraordinary parts of making all kinds of bread at home. We’ll talk about things like: instant yeast vs sourdough, refrigerated dough, crust, crumb, shaping, amendments, the chemistry and biology of bread, and the thousands of varieties of this staple food. Once you have the foundations, you’ll see bread recipes as suggestions instead of steps to be followed. The sky is the limit! While our bread bakes, we’ll make our own specialty butter! You will eat and bring home what we make in class.
Every day I get 1 or 2 comment spams written by real people that get past my spam filters. Of late they’ve been coming from the Philippines and Ukraine. Usually they are poor excuses for spams. For example, today I received on Burning Man 2010 Resource Guide — Part 1:
I had never heard of Burning Man resources but now I am a fan. Great work ! www.SomeCrappyProduct.whatever
And on How to Avoid Paypal Fees I got
If that money they used to sent you didn’t claimed it for a couple of days. Do they have allotted days to be count on or expiry of the money? Does the receiver will be fines on it? Thanks!

and on 3D Wobble Images I got:

This is amazing! I super love effects like this! :D
All potentially written by humans. My personal guess is that the first two are driven by semantic computers and the last one was written by a human. But whatever, this one I got today was definitely written by a beautiful killer of a human.
First, here is my post: Today’s Quote: Han Solo on religion
“Hokey religions and ancient weapons are no match for a good blaster at your side, kid.”
– Han Solo, outspoken skeptic of the Force
Here is the beautiful comment:
URL: TreadmillSalesWebsite.feh
Haha, what a goof that han solo. Who knows if he meant all religious beliefs or simply those that were…”hokey”. I wonder what he believed. I mean spirits are obviously real right, I mean Obi wan visited luke right? Someone should have a good talk with Han about stuff like that.
Reminds me of XKCD
How many bytes is 1 kilobyte? It is 1024 or 1000? It’s kind of ambiguous, isn’t it?
Nope, this problem was solved in 1998.
1 kilobyte is 1000 bytes. That’s 103.
1 kibibyte is 1024 bytes. that’s 210.
And how do you abbreviate it?
1 kilobyte = 1 KB
1 kibibyte = 1 KiB
Similarly, we’ve got
megabyte (MB) 10^6 | mebibyte (MiB) 2^20
gigabyte (GB) 10^9 | gibibyte (GiB) 2^30
terabyte (TB) 10^12 | tebibyte (TiB) 2^40
petabyte (PB) 10^15 | pebibyte (PiB) 2^50
This actually makes good sense. I’ll try to use it from now on.

Today I got a comment spam from someone claiming that Fungusil works for them. I did some homework and… it screams “scam”.
Fungusil has undecylenic acid which is as good a topical antifungal as is out there (comparable to lamisil, and vinegar). But topicals don’t have a very good success rate against nail fungus. as the Mayo Clinic writes about undecylenic acid:
undecylenic acid belongs to the group of medicines called antifungals. It is used to treat some types of fungus infections. However, compound undecylenic acid generally has been replaced by newer and more effective medicines for the treatment of fungus infections.

A google search turns promotional websites that almost look like comparison sites… but aren’t. And testimonials on blogs and forums that are obviously lies. For example
Best Toenail Fungus Treatment – Fungusil?
I’ve just researching for an effective and best toenail fungus treatment and more of the results in google are home remedies product.
And the only response
I’ve tried it last month. And believe it or not, it only takes 7-10 days to remove totally my nail fungus
————————————————–
The Funginix, Fungusil, and Fungisil websites were obviously built by the same designer. Take a look, the Funginix and Fungisil sites use the same bottle! Why would 3 similar products with similar ingredients be marketed so similarly? Because they are the same product from the same scammer trying to create a false sense of comparison.
————————————————–
I have written several other posts about these products and I’ve gotten loads of comments from people. Search my site for “fungus” for more on the subject.
I am considering a change of career to become a radiation therapist or similar medical technician. If you know about this field, I would be indebted to you if you’d let me speak to you about it.
