Weekly Roundup - Living On Nothing Edition Category: Roundups | Comments(15)
Did you hear about the guy that lives on nothing? No seriously, he lives on zero dollars a day. Meet Daniel Suelo, who lives in a cave outside Moab, Utah. Suelo has no mortgage, no car payment, no debt of any kind. He also has no home, no car, no television, and absolutely no “creature comforts.” But he does have a lot of creatures, as in the mice and bugs that scurry about the cave floor he’s called home for the last three years.
To us, Suelo probably sounds a little extreme. Actually, he probably sounds very extreme. After all, I suspect most of you reading this are doing so under the protection of some sort of man-made shelter, and with some amount of money on your person, and probably a few needs for money, too. And who doesn’t need money unless they have completely unplugged from the grid? Still, it’s an amusing story about a guy who rejects all forms of consumerism as we know it.

[A page of craft instructions, many ideas]
The invention of paper, as we know it today, can be tracked to Leiyang
China. Early around 100 A.D. paper is said to have been made using
fermented and beaten mulberry bark fibers that were suspended in water and
removed with a screen made from bamboo fibers tied with horse hair.
Whether this is the true time frame or not, we do know that mulberry paper
has made a comeback being a very popular crafting and scrapbooking
medium in this century. The fibers in the paper give crafting projects a
wonderful texture and dimension. Mulberry paper makes a great background
or boarder to highlight other paper especially when it is moistened and torn.
Tearing instead of using scissors can provide an interesting ragged edge when
embellishing your pages.
Crafting and scrapbook stores sell handmade papers and you will find them to
be rather costly. Handmade papers, including mulberry paper, are just that...
handmade! Which of course means you can manufacture them yourself as
well!
Plan on your paper making process to take about two hours. Not bad for a
crafting project that can give you fifteen unique handmade sheets that you can
use for greeting cards, picture frame matting and of course my favorite -
scrapbooking!
Everything you need to make paper is easy to find and rather inexpensive.
Best of all, its a great conservation effort since you are using 100%recycled
paper scraps.
MAKING THE PULP
You will need about 40 - 55 sheets of white used photocopy paper and about
14 sheets of colored photocopy paper or you can also use uncoated used
wrapping paper for the pulp base. A small amount of colored magazine paper
should be used sparingly. A good ratio to begin with is four times as much
white paper as colored paper. Rip the copy paper into small pieces, roughly
Page 21
an inch square. Try not to use newsprint. Soak the pieces overnight in a
bucket of water separating the colored pieces from the white paper..
Add about 1 cup of pre-soaked white paper into a kitchen blender and fill
almost to the top with very warm water. Blend on medium high or until the
mixture has a oatmeal type consistency. If your blender is having difficulty
you may need to add more water or reduce the amount of pre-soaked paper to
3/4 cup. Keep blending the pulp until you have used up all the soaked paper.
Put the paper pulp into a large saucepan and mix it around with your hands.
Slowly add your soaked colored paper for a few seconds. You will need to be
careful not to overblend. The colored paper should look like confetti. The
mixture will be very liquefied. If you plan to use your paper as stationery,
dissolve a packet of gelatin in hot water, and stir the gelatin into the pulp
mixture. The gelatin, which is known as “size”, will make the paper less
porous.
Now lightly blend your soaked colored paper for about ten seconds. Don’t
overblend - you want the colored paper to appear in your paper as confetti-
like accents. Alternatively, you may add other materials or food coloring
directly to the pulp, or you can add textures on top of the pulp after forming a
sheet. For example, you might want to add some wildflower seeds on top of
the paper. Cards made with seeds can later be planted by the recipients to
create flower gardens.
MAKING A FRAME MOLD
Using two old picture frames you can make a mold that will contain the pulp
and mold the paper to the desired size. Any size frame will work but a 5”x7”
or 8”x10” is the easiest to work with. Start by removing the glass and backing
from both frames. Purchase a fiberglass or plastic screen from your local
hardware store and stretch it tightly over one of the frames. The screen can be
attached to the back of the frame with a staple gun. The second frame will be
used as the “deckle” which makes the sheet of paper the desired size.
MOLDING THE PULP
Hold the mold screen size up and dip the mold into the pulp right after stirring
it. Nest, place the 2nd frame or “deckle” upside down on top of the 1st frame
mold. The pulp should be covering the screen. A thin layer of pulp seems to
turn out better than a thick paper.
Next, let the excess water drip off for about two minutes. Now is the time to
add fun embellishments to your handmade paper. You can add food coloring,
potpourri, dried flowers, dried herbs and spices, seeds, thread or even lint
from the dryer. If you plan on matting pictures or scrapbooking though keep
Page 22
your artistic materials acid free. Finished paper can also be pressed with a
fairly heavy lace and left on until the paper dries. You can have fun using
monograms for special occasions as well.
Gently pat off any excess water from the back side of screen and around all
the edges. Keep soaking up the water until you see the paper separating from
the screen. At that time you can try removing the mold starting at one corner.
You paper is almost finished now it only needs to dry for about 24 hours on
both sides. When your paper is dry you can press it in-between a heavy book
to press them flat or apply a warm iron to the sheets of paper sandwiching the
paper between two hand towels.
the end
15. Playdough. Mix together two cups of flour, one cup of salt, one cup of
water, one tablespoon of oil and a few drops of food colouring for an easy to
make dough that will keep for about three weeks if you wrap it in polythene
and keep it in the fridge. All you have to do is knead the mixture well.
Divide the mixture up first if you have more than one colour available.
Valentine Patchwork Keepsake
written by Rachel Webb
© 2001, All Rights Reserved For The Creators
The patchwork look is a fun way to create affordable country crafts and can be
accomplished with ordinary crafting odds and ends. You can make a beautiful
valentine keepsake box using a heart shaped, inexpensive, paper crafting box, left
over fabric, lace and antique buttons! Here is a list of what you will need.
q Any size Heart Shaped Paper Crafting Box
Scissors or Rotary Cutter and Mat
Decoupage Glue (White or Off-White)
1/2 yard of Thin Ribbon
1/2 yard of 1” Wide Ribboned Gathered Lace
Antique Buttons or Pewter Charms
Strand of Beaded Crafting Pearls
Hot Glue Gun and Sticks
Small Foam Brush
Needle and Thread
Instructions:
First gather all of your left over scraps on material and group them together
according to color. You will want to use several patterns of fabric that
compliment one another with the same color tones and hues. I chose 5 fabrics
with a Blue, Mauve, Rose and Antique White floral combination but you can
use any combination as long as you choose fabrics with a very small pattern.
Stay away from stretchy or sheer fabrics as well. Cotton or broadcloth is a
good choice. Cut your fabric into 1 1/2 inch, 2 inch or 1/2 inch squares. Use a
roll cutter and mat to speed up this process. I used fabric that was both 1 1/2
inch wide squares as well as some 1/2 inch squares for my patchwork box.
Starting on the bottom of your box use a small sponge brush and decoupage
glue to attach your fabric squares to a paper craft box. Decoupage will take the
place of your glue and is available in craft stores in 2 sizes of bottles and in
white or off-white. Off-White decoupage will go on slightly yellow and give you
an antique finish to your box.
Add your squares randomly overlapping squares in a haphazard
pattern that covers all of the paper craft box. You will not need to
apply the decoupage carefully, it is very forgiving and your box can
be covered quickly by dabbing decoupage on top of each fabric
Page 30
square and applying it to your box. Finish the inside of your box all
in the same color and trim the edge carefully. If you have creases in
your fabric smooth them out to lie flat. This is especially important
around the rim of your box. The lid will not fit securely if the fabric is
not smooth.
After your decoupage box has dried completely. Use hot glue to add 1 inch wide
ribboned lace around the edge of the lid. You can embellish the top of the box
however you wish but I choose to make lace medallions using scraps of flat lace
and sewing a gathering stitch around the outer edge. Pull one end of the thread to
gather the stitches and create a medallion. I made two different sized medallions
and hot glued 2 inch strands of crafting pearls under the lace medallion prior to
hot gluing it in the center of the heart box. the largest medallion on the top of the
heart lid first. Hot glue the smaller medallion on top of the large one for a double
stacked effect. Sew or Hot glue thin loops of ribbon on top of the small lace
medallion. Add antique buttons or pewter charms to the top of the ribbon as the
final finishing touch to a fancy Victorian keep sake box.
Your box would be a fun way to organize your jewelry and can be lined with satin
or velvet fabric instead of decoupage squares. You could also make miniature
boxes using the same method, for fabulous Christmas tree ornaments!
Salt Dough Crafting
Copyright J Black.
Folk art and in particular the art of making craft objects using salt dough has
once again become a very popular hobby in recent years.
It is easy to get started as this craft requires only the minimum of equipment
and materials — most of which will already be in your kitchen.
These include:
1. A bowl to mix your dough
2. A rolling pin for producing smooth sheets of dough
3. A grater for making decorative imprints on your dough
4. A garlic press for making strands for hair and foliage
5. Small pointed knife for cutting and indenting details
6. An assortment of pastry cutters and moulds for decorative shapes. If
you don’t have these already they can be found at virtually any
kitchenware outlet.
To make your salt dough I have found the following recipe to be a good all
round recipe for most projects.
2 Cups of Plain Flour (not self-rising)
1 cup Fine grained plain salt
1/2 cup water at room temperature
Mix the salt and flour in a large bowl and then add
the water. Knead the mixture for about 5-10
minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.
Cover with cling wrap to stop the dough drying out
and let the dough sit for 30 minutes before using.
Two other recipes that I often use, depending on the project I am working on,
include a
Page 37
Fine dough for filigree work
2 Cups flour
1 cup salt
100g cornstarch
1/2 cup water
Again, mix the salt and flour in a large bowl and
then add the water. Knead the mixture for about 5-
10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.
Cover with cling wrap to stop the dough drying out
and let the dough sit for 30 minutes before using.
And then I use a Firm Dough for making tiles and plates:
2 cups flour
1 cup salt
2 tablespoons wallpaper paste
1/2 cup water
Again, mix the salt and flour in a large bowl and
then add the water. Knead the mixture for about 5-
10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.
Cover with cling wrap to stop the dough drying out
and let the dough sit for 30 minutes before using.
Different coloured doughs can be made using...
- Food colouring (red, green, blue, or yellow). Two or more food colours can
be combined to make different colours and shades or for a marbled dough
effect.
- Add spices that act as natural dyes e.g. cinnamon, curry powder, saffron or
paprika.
Page 38
- Add cocoa powder or instant coffee for different hues of brown.
- Be sure you are wearing protective gloves for this one, add a little paint to
the mixture then knead the dough until the paint is uniformly distributed
through the mix.
Your dough is now ready to use and the next step is to shape your project.
Fresh dough is best for modelling. However, if you find you have any leftover
dough it can be wrapped in cling wrap or an airtight container and stored in a
cool place for a few days.
To improve the elasticity of the dough add dry wallpaper paste to the basic
mixture.
The addition of 1-2 teaspoons of vegetable oil improves suppleness of the
dough and make it easier to work with.
For flat or rolled projects it is best to roll
out the dough straight onto a baking
sheet — then it can be put straight into
the oven.
Models or larger pieces can be
assembled on a piece of hardboard that
has been oiled with vegetable oil to
prevent the dough from sticking to the
board
When you are finished and happy with your results you have a choice of Air
Drying — or baking your project in the oven.
Ensuring your projects are correctly dried ensures they will last a long time so
it is important that this is not hurried.
Air drying is suitable for flat, small pieces or for coloured pieces where
baking will alter the colour of the finished project.
Oven drying is the most popular method and requires careful attention to
accurate temperature control to avoid burning.
Bake for approx 2 hours using a low temperature setting 50-70C for the first
half hour then increase temperature slowly to 90-100C and cook until the
Page 39
piece is uniform in colour.
While baking, if any air bubbles appear pierce the bubbles with a pin and
gently depress the dough.
If the dough starts to darken before cooking is complete cover the dough with
a piece of aluminum foil.
You can tell the dough is cooked when it is hard and sounds hollow when
tapped. Turn the oven off and leave the finished piece in oven until it is cool.
When thoroughly dry sand any imperfections. Any burns can be sandpapered
off with fine- medium grade sandpaper. An Emery board or small file can be
used for delicate or intricate sanding on objects.
At this stage you can paint your projects then seal with a final coat of varnish.
Your finished projects can be left unpainted but they must be sealed on all
sides with varnish, gloss or matt for protection otherwise they will not last
long when exposed to air.
Brightly coloured pieces will look more vibrant painted with a glossy finish
and neutral muted colours are suited to a matt finish.
Using a polyurethane varnish on food coloured models instead of water-based
varnish helps to intensify the colour.
That’s it! Happy modelling
>>>Emergency tourniquet, I can see. Emergency lighting or heat too. But - syrup?<<<
Hey, I just gotta have syrup on my hotcakes, johnnycakes and stuff... LOL
Really, the art of survival cooking should go beyond just gruel and bread crumbs. Little things like syrup can turn very bad feelings around - almost like a normalization so you can better deal with the other calamities.

12 Dead, 31 Wounded in Shootings at Fort Hood in Texas<<<
Wake up America, there is a war going on.
Remember the old song, I can hear the music in my head, by the same guy [Lee Greenwood?] that did the West to Alaska song, or a copy of it.
Any way, the line that sticks in my head is about the American Revolution, “They will wear red and march down the road and we will wear homespun and hide in the trees”.
This time it is in reverse, we are in uniforms and they are too, and any other costume that they choose, even granny’s cover all robes.
I was afraid of this:
“Officials said Maj. Malik Nadal Hasan was shot and killed after quick response from security officers.”
“Shortly after Major Malik Nadal Hasan and two other unnamed shooters allegedly opened fire at the largest U.S. military installation in the world, Ft. Hood in Texas, President Barack Obama held a press conference to address the issue. Before getting around to the shooting that has already claimed a dozen lives and wounded at least 31 people, he began his remarks by saying:
I want to thank my Cabinet members and senior administration officials who participated today. I hear that Dr. Joe Medicine Crow (ph) was around, and so I want to give a shout out to that Congressional Medal of Honor winner. It’s good to see you.
The quotation says it all: our commander-in-chief feels there is no event so serious that it cannot be prefaced by a moment of glib hipness, no solemn loss so sacred he will deny himself a moment of wry self-indulgence. Soldiers were killed? Let’s say hi to Joe first. An entire theater of war needs a plan to defeat the terrorists who struck America on 9/11? No reason I can’t go golfing, shoot some hoops, and hit the town with Michelle.
President Bush used to break into tears when addressing soldiers and was reviled as a stone-hearted warmonger; Donald Rumsfeld was demonized for using a machine to sign notification letters to fallen soldiers’s next-of-kin. President Obama gives out rounds of virtual fist-bumps to his buds before even mentioning a slaughter of American soldiers, perpetrated by Americans, in mid-America.
We desperately need an adult in the White House. Sadly, today’s press conference proves we do not have one.
(Incidentally, the shooter — who killed 12 people with two handguns — is reportedly a convert to Islam incensed about being sent to war.)

I just heard an official report, they are talking about the Ft Hood murders.
The killer is alive, and so is the Female cop who put 2 bullets in the killer.
The Lady is out of surgery and doing well.
The base people or some of them are still evacuated to the local community center.
Their opinion of the media matches ours, they wish they could tell the truth and see it printed.
Said that the media says Ft Hood is the safest base in the country and then said all the killer did was show his ID and instantly he was on base.
Then someone said “There is a lot more of them in the military and the other Officer named several town locations, where they knew there were a bunch of them.
I had to go to bed for awhile, so don’t know what is old news, I did note a bunch of ‘the killer’ is alive breaking news alerts in my Yahoo emails.
LOL, but I like hearing it from the source, which knows what is going on.
>>>Said that the media says Ft Hood is the safest base in the country and then said all the killer did was show his ID and instantly he was on base.<<<
I have been on Ft. Hood many times... more than 300 square miles - not a place you could secure easily.
I went through a combat vehicle confidence course there (where you have to push the vehicle to the absolute maximum limits of its capabilities) and I fired in the 4th Army rifle competition there and we bivouacked there several times. All I can say is that it is huge!
I’ll never forget driving through the base in a 10 wheel MMBV2 5 ton tactical van when the whole vehicle began shaking - I thought something was wrong with my truck (maybe driveshaft thrashing around or something) then I looked across through the passenger window and saw two big (garbage can size) black things go by... Exhaust pipes on a tank retriever - I was going about 65 and that thing passed me - I was on the road and he was on a rather rough trail alongside... Scared the you know what out of me... They are totally awesome! Those things were powered by a pair of 1,200 HP engines...

PetSmart Voluntarily Recalls Dentley’s Beef Hooves
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE — Phoenix, AZ, Nov 4, 2009 - PetSmart (NASDAQ: PETM) is voluntarily recalling two Dentley’s Beef Hoof products for potential salmonella contamination. The products were manufactured by Pet Carousel, Inc. in Sanger, Calif.
The recalled products include only the following types of Dentley’s Beef Hooves purchased between Oct. 2, 2009 and Nov. 3, 2009:
Dentley’s Bulk Cattle Hoof UPC# 73725703323
Dentley’s 10 Pack Beef Hooves UPC# 73725736055
No other products are included in this recall.
The affected products were shipped from the Pet Carousel plant to three PetSmart distribution centers in Ottawa, Ill.; Groveport, Ohio and Newnan, Ga.; and then shipped directly to certain PetSmart stores. Although the affected product was not shipped to every store, as a precautionary measure PetSmart immediately recalled the product from all of its US stores and instituted a register block to prevent any product from being inadvertently scanned and sold. In addition, PetSmart removed the product from the PetSmart.com Web site and notified PetPerks customers with valid e-mail addresses in the PetSmart database who purchased the affected products.
Salmonellosis is an infection with bacteria called salmonella. Most persons infected with salmonella develop diarrhea, fever, and abdominal cramps 12 to 72 hours after infection. The illness usually lasts four to seven days, and most persons recover without treatment. However, in some individuals, the diarrhea may be so severe that the patient needs to be hospitalized. In these patients, the salmonella infection may spread from the intestines to the blood stream, and then to other body sites and can cause death unless the person is treated promptly with antibiotics. The elderly, infants, and those with impaired immune systems are more likely to have a severe illness.
Many dogs do not show clinical signs of salmonella. However, when they do, they often have diarrhea or other signs of systemic infections.
Customers who purchased the recalled products should discontinue use immediately and return the product to any PetSmart store for a complete refund or exchange. Customers who have concerns about their health or their pet’s health should consult a medical professional.

We desperately need an adult in the White House. Sadly, today’s press conference proves we do not have one.
(Incidentally, the shooter — who killed 12 people with two handguns — is reportedly a convert to Islam incensed about being sent to war.)<<<<
Every day the ‘o’ pulls some thing that tops the day before.
I watched a young man on an LSD trip, in a restaurant that I worked in, he sat at the counter for 12 hours, un-moving and then suddenly woke up and wanted breakfast, which he smiled at as though it was the most beautiful/wonderous miracle he had ever laid eyes on.
He came in on my dinner shift, then I was off 8 hours and doubled back for breakfast shift, a cop came in that I knew and I talked to him, he took a good look and told me what to expect and that is how it went down..........40 years ago.
The ‘o’ makes me think of living in someone else’s LSD trip.
http://www.radioreference.com/apps/audio/?ctid=2536
Sounds like they have set up an evacuation center???
Wonder if they are just being extra cautious or if they are expecting additional problems.<<<<
I think they expect or expected more problems.
After all, what happened today, is only what has been planned by every jehadi, who could reach a base or airport.
It is not a onetime nutcake incident.
We have trials in the court system right now, for jihadi, who planned to do what he did.
Those cops are checking cars still and not allowing any to be parked, any place, that have not been checked out.
They have had shots reported by cops, both shotgun and hand guns......
The media wants to talk to one of the top cops and they are not available.
Keep in mind, Las Vegas has also had extra gunshots on the streets the last week or so and NO cars left unchecked, they are quick to check out any reports of unknown parked cars.
We have some pretty hot threats against the country right now, the local cells, prison cells, dope cells, Mexico cells and our old enemeies of al-qaeda, the communist anarchist groups, Hezbollah and a few more, have gone into print with threats!!!!
i found the scanner link on the big Freeper thread, of breaking news, don’t remember who posted it.
then I looked across through the passenger window and saw two big (garbage can size) black things go by<<<
That would have been a site to see.
I wanted to see the overland train that a company in Yuma bought off the gov, in 1989.
As I recall, several giant trailers, with wheels so big, that each wheel had a 40 horsepower engine to keep it rolling.
