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.

Biological Weapon - Plague
Order our emergency preparedness book so you can be prepared for a terrorism emergency. Don’t wait until it is too late.
What It Is
Yersinia pestis, a rod-shaped, non-motile, non-sporulating, gram-negative, bipolar staining, facultative anaerobic bacterium. It causes plague, normally a zoonotic disease of rodents (e.g., rats, mice, ground squirrels). Fleas which live on the rodents can sometimes pass the bacteria to human beings, who then suffer from the bubonic form of plague. The pneumonic form of the disease would be seen as the primary form after purposeful aerosol dissemination of the organisms. The bubonic form would be seen after purposeful dissemination through the release of infected fleas. All human populations are susceptible. Recovery from the disease may be followed by temporary immunity. The organism will probably remain viable in water and moist meals and grains for several weeks. At near freezing temperatures, it will remain alive from months to years but is killed by 15 minutes exposure to 72 ° C. It also remains viable for some time in dry sputum, flea feces, and buried bodies but is killed within several hours of exposure to sunlight.
What It Does
Pneumonic plague incubates 2-3 days. High fever, chills, headache, hemoptysis, and toxemia, progressing rapidly to dyspnea, stridor, and cyanosis. Death from respiratory failure, circulatory collapse, and a bleeding diathesis. Bubonic plague incubates 2-10 days. Malaise, high fever, and tender lymph nodes (buboes); may progress spontaneously to the septicemic form, with spread to the CNS, lungs, etc.
Be Prepared
A licensed, killed vaccine is available. Primary series of an initial dose followed by a second smaller dose 1-3 months later, and a third dose 5-6 months after the second dose. Give 3 booster doses at 6 month intervals following dose 3 of the primary series then every 1-2 years. This vaccine is effective against bubonic plague, but probably not against aerosol exposure.

Portuguese Orange-Olive Oil Cake
by David Leite
from The New Portuguese Table: Exciting Flavors from Europe’s Western Coast
(Clarkson Potter, 2009)
Serves 10 to 12
Make sure to use a light-colored Bundt pan. A dark one will turn out a cake that sticks and is unpleasantly brown. Since this cake only gets better with age, don’t even think about taking a bite until the day after you make it, or even the day after that.
Ingredients
Nonstick baking spray with flour
4 to 5 large naval oranges
3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 3/4 teaspoons kosher salt
5 large eggs
3 cups granulated sugar
1 1/2 cups mild extra-virgin olive oil
Confectioners’ sugar, for sprinkling
Method
1. Position a rack in the middle of the oven, remove any racks above, and crank up the heat to 350°F (175°C). Coat a 12-cup Bundt or tube pan with baking spray and set aside.
2. Finely grate the zest of 3 of the oranges, then squeeze 4 of them. You should have 1 1/2 cups of juice; if not, squeeze the 5th orange. Set aside.
3. Whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl and set aside.
4. In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, or with a handheld mixer in a large bowl, beat the eggs on medium-high speed until well-combined, about 1 minute. Slowly pour in the granulated sugar and continue beating until thick and pale yellow, about 3 minutes. On low speed, alternate adding the flour mixture and oil, starting and ending with the flour, and beat until just a few wisps of flour remain. Pour in the orange juice and zest and whirl for a few seconds to bring the batter together.
5. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake until a cake tester comes out with a few moist crumbs clinging to it, about 1 1/4 hours. If the top is browning too much as the cake bakes, cover lightly with foil. Transfer to a wire rack and cool for 15 minutes.
6. Turn the cake out onto the rack and cool completely, then place it in a covered cake stand and let it sit overnight. Just before serving, dust with powdered sugar.

Flourless Chocolate and Vanilla Marble Cake
Linda Avery on 11.03.09
from Absolutely Chocolate: Irresistible Excuses to Indulge
(Taunton Press, 2009)
Serves 16
This dense, luscious flourless chocolate and vanilla marble cake has a texture a little like fudge and a little like cheesecake. A small slice goes a long way. To slice this moist marble cake neatly, use a hot knife (run it under hot running water and dry it), and wipe the blade clean between slices.
Ingredients
For the vanilla batter
8 ounces cream cheese, softened to room temperature
2/3 cup granulated sugar
1 large egg
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
For the chocolate batter
10 ounces bittersweet chocolate, finely chopped
5 ounces (10 tablespoons) unsalted butter, cut into 6 pieces
3 large eggs
1/3 cup granulated sugar
1 tablespoon dark rum or espresso
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Pinch table salt
Unsweetened cocoa powder, for dusting
Method
1. Position an oven rack in the middle of the oven and heat the oven to 300°F (150°C). Lightly grease a 9-by-2-inch round cake pan and line the bottom with parchment.
2. In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth. Add the sugar and continue beating until well blended and no lumps remain. Add the egg and vanilla and beat just until blended. Set aside.
3. In a medium bowl, melt the chocolate and butter in a large metal bowl over a pan of simmering water or in the microwave. Whisk until smooth and set aside to cool slightly. Using a stand mixer fitted with the whip attachment (or with a hand mixer), beat the eggs, sugar, rum or espresso, vanilla, and salt on medium high until the mixture is pale and thick, 3 to 4 minutes. With the mixer on low, gradually pour in the chocolate mixture and continue beating until well blended.
4. To combine and bake the marble cake, spread about half of the chocolate batter in the bottom of the pan. Alternately add large scoopfuls of each of the remaining batters to the cake pan. Using a knife or the tip of a rubber spatula, gently swirl the two batters together so they’re mixed but not completely blended. Rap the pan against the countertop several times to settle the batters.
5. Bake the marble cake until a pick inserted about 2 inches from the edge comes out gooey but not liquid, 40 to 42 minutes; don’t over-bake. The top will be puffed and slightly cracked, especially around the edges. It will sink down as it cools. Let the cake cool on a rack until just slightly warm, about 1 1/2 hours. Loosen it from the pan by holding the pan almost perpendicular to the counter; tap the pan on the counter while rotating it clockwise. Invert the cake onto a large flat plate or board, then remove the pan and carefully peel off the parchment.
6. Sift some cocoa powder over the cake (this will make it easier to remove the slices when serving). Invert the cake again onto a similar plate so that the top side is up and let cool completely. Cover and refrigerate until very cold, at least 4 hours or overnight, or freeze.
Make ahead and freeze: Wrap the cooled cake (unmolded as directed in the recipe) in plastic and refrigerate until firm and well chilled. Slide the cake from the plate and wrap it again in plastic. Freeze for up to a month. To serve, unwrap the cake and set it on a flat serving plate that’s been sprinkled with a little more cocoa powder. Cover with plastic wrap and thaw in the refrigerator overnight or at room temperature for an hour or two.

Is Al Qaeda Seeking Weapons of Mass Destruction?
By Dr. Neil Livingstone.
REPRINTED WITH PERMISSION FROM DomesticPreparedness.com
SPRING 2009
Reports surfaced in early January that approximately forty Al Qaeda members in Algeria died from plague after the deadly bacteria escaped from a surreptitious laboratory where they were attempting to weaponize the disease. Although there has been no official confirmation that that is exactly what happened, it is clear that something out of the ordinary did occur in Algeria at that time, and the reports are part of a mounting body of evidence, both circumstantial and confirmed, that Al Qaeda is attempting to acquire weapons of mass destruction – most likely, in this situation, a bio weapon.
continues.......
LOL, only know about some things because I did them...
We used to get trailer loads of concentrated liquid caustic soda (lye), dilute it to about 8% and heat it to 180 degrees F. and run potatoes or carrots and even parsnips through a paddle wheel tank to soften just enough of the skin so that they could be removed in a scrubber. The ‘scrubber’ was about 8’ long by 3’ barrel with spinning abrasive tubes. This took most of the ‘starch’ off. Then they went into a ‘polisher’ that looked the same, but had spinning brush tubes. They used very little water in the first, then more in the polisher to clean them up. The older process used steam instead of lye, but it tended to cook deeper and didn’t get all the eyes out as well as the lye bath did.
Ever wonder how they peeled all those tiny carrots you see in bags, or small whole potatoes - now you know...
Oh, didn’t tell you about the waste... It was trucked in a tank truck to their farm where they had three lagoons. After the ‘starch’ sits in a lagoon for 6-8 weeks, it is pretty well neutralized as it dissolves the skin particles. After two months they pump it out and pour it over silage or even corn fodder and feed it to beef cows.
So, when some enviro-whacko starts telling you to not eat meat, only veggies, ask them what they propose to do with all the waste that livestock usually are fed... Spent grain from ‘green’ ethanol production too... Even my chickens love those scraps and garden waste that I feed them. Same with all the cull vegetables that don’t meet our ‘perfect’ image and desires.
Plus, the animal waste then provides quite a bit of the nutrients to again grow additional vegetables... Now if we could only grow vegetables already bagged, frozen or in a can right in your kitchen and use all that human waste to do it..
/soapbox
Sorry y’all couldn’t resist...
>>>Take a few acidophilus/bifidus/etc capsules one day<<<
We eat yogurt - get the same results without having to buy capsules.
Did you know that you can use your dehydrator to make great yogurt? With the square type, you just leave some of the trays out and put cups of milk with a couple spoons of starter culture from your last batch. With the round type, if you put one tray on, and use either a metal ring of sheet metal or even poster board, then put the lid on top works too.
I make a batch and then add fruit preserves that I had canned... Mmmmmm good!
Sure beats the store prices - and probiotics.
>>>Reports surfaced in early January that approximately forty Al Qaeda members in Algeria died from plague after the deadly bacteria escaped from a surreptitious laboratory<<<
I remember seeing that - but then the subject was dropped like a hot potato by the media.
I just bought some more storage buckets at Lowe’s - $2.39 and lids were .89.
One local survival thread posted that he gets his from a Donut Shop in the area for $1 each.
Might be worth asking your local shop. Also others say they get them from WalMart Deli department for free by just asking as they just put them in the dumpster.
I have had a 16” heat sealer for years and use that, but a hot iron works too, but do not want to melt it onto your iron.
Try this site for a video of how to seal mylar bags...
http://www.survival-training.info/online_classes2/HowtosealMylarbagswithaclothesiron.htm
Oh, and they have lots of other very interesting ‘how to’s’ also. Like how to make your own Rice Crispies (the secret Kellogs doesn’t want you to know)
Both your cakes sound good, thanks for sharing the recipes.
I think the privacy of the voting booth helped that issue a lot. The larger cities went for the no vote fairly consistantly while in the smaller towns, people just went into the booths, voted and kept their mouths shut. As for myself, I told people that I had no problem with the “equal rights” issue, just find another name for their togetherness. If this had passed, we would soon have had people demonstrating for “several wives, several husbands, marrying minors” and all such foolishness.
After the ‘starch’ sits in a lagoon for 6-8 weeks, it is pretty well neutralized as it dissolves the skin particles. After two months they pump it out and pour it over silage or even corn fodder and feed it to beef cows.<<<
And we wonder why tomatoes and lettuce have to be recalled.
How sad, that greed takes over and common sense goes out the door.
We fed every bite of scraps and left overs to our animals.
You have not lived until you watch ducks eat long spaghetti, with the sauce already on it, they love it and will pick it up one strand at a time and get it to swinging, then throw their head back and let it slide in.
Here we get weevils in our flour, if we are not careful.
I had a couple bags that went buggy, so mixed a big pan of flour and water, added sourdough starter and let it set a couple days, then took the cover off and the animals went wild, the dogs, cats and poultry loved it and what was left went to the hogs grain barrel, kept them supplied for years, as it was a source of vitamins for them.
LOL, yes, I let my poultry run wild, but then I didn’t live in the city.
>>>Reports surfaced in early January that approximately forty Al Qaeda members in Algeria died from plague after the deadly bacteria escaped from a surreptitious laboratory<<<
Yes, it did die in a hurry, could not have stories like that come out and show that President Bush was telling the truth.
I just dumped the link for the al qaeda and bio weapons that I have been working on all night, it was full of amazing articles and reports, some I knew and some I didn’t.
This one looks interesting too, for when I can see again:
Many questions on yogurt-making. Can you use store bought yogurt as a starter? What is the purpose of the dehydrator? Remove liquid or furnish heat? If for heat, could you make this on the back of a wood-burning stove? Can you use pasteurized milk,or must it be raw milk? Years ago,I made cottage cheese regularly on the back of my oil-burning range with raw milk. It was delicious, much better than the product in stores.
I am interested as hubby has a digestive problem caused by adhesions from a 10 hour cancer operation. The adhesions are pressing on his small intestines. I decided yogurt daily might help and certainly wouldn’t hurt and I know he would prefer the home made.
Incidentally, this operation was 8 years ago, and required daily visits by a visiting nurse for 90 days and he now requires $700.00 of medical supplies every 90 days. At 81 years of age, do you think Obama would consider his life worth the expenditure, even though he has had eight healthy, productive years since? I think NOT.
RABIES, WILDLIFE - USA (07): (ARIZONA) BAT VARIANT
**************************************************

Foxes, skunks spreading bat rabies variant in Arizona
More than 200 animals in the state tested positive for rabies in the 1st 9
months of 2009, including dozens of foxes and skunks that were infected
with a bat virus variant that has adapted and spread among those
terrestrial mammals. By contrast, only 176 rabid animals were discovered in
all of 2008.
Craig Levy, an epidemiologist and the manager of the vectorborne disease
program for the Arizona Department of Health Services, said southern
Arizona has historically had reservoirs of the gray fox rabies strain and
the south-central skunk variant, and the state has multiple bat virus
variants. But in 2001, the state had an unusual outbreak of rabies among
skunks in Flagstaff, which is in northern Arizona.
“We never saw rabid skunks that far north in Arizona,” Levy said. “So we
knew something was out of whack, and we had those skunks variant-typed to
find out what type of virus we were talking about. And it turns out that
the skunks were transmitting big brown bat variant, but it was going skunk
to skunk to skunk.”
A scientific report in the August 2006 issue of Emerging Infectious
Diseases, “Bat-associated rabies virus in skunks,” states that 19 skunks in
Flagstaff were confirmed to be infected with a bat-associated rabies virus
variant in 2001. “This is the largest recorded cluster of bat RABVV (rabies
virus variant) infection in terrestrial mammals,” the report states.
“Investigation of this novel outbreak showed evolution in action with the
emergence of an RABVV that successfully adapted from Chiroptera to
Carnivora.” The report also states the variant reappeared in 5 skunks and a
fox in 2004. By late 2008, foxes were transmitting the variant to other
foxes, Levy said.
“We may have some evolution occurring right before our eyes as we see a
different virus variant circulating very efficiently within the wrong
host,” Levy said.
Rabies virus variants are genetically distinct strains, and information
from the CDC indicates those variants are typically maintained in a single
reservoir host species.
A 2009 circular from the US Geological Survey National Wildlife Health
Center, “Bat rabies and other lyssavirus infections,” states that, after
transmission of a variant from its reservoir host to an atypical or
aberrant host species, “a dead-end infection usually results because the
maladapted atypical host quickly dies before the virus can be transmitted
further.”
“Identification of variants that infect atypical hosts, such as humans,
usually points to a particular natural reservoir host species, such as a
species of carnivore or bat, as the source of human infection,” the report
states.
David Bergman, the state director of USDA Wildlife Services in Arizona,
said a higher human population in the state, an increase in recreational
activity in the state, and increased rabies awareness are connected with
the record number of reported rabies cases. Bergman said it is concerning
that terrestrial wildlife is transmitting rabies near Flagstaff for the 1st
time in 40 years.
Part of the overall rise in rabies cases is related to a normal cycle of
infections, said Dr Charles E Rupprecht, chief of the rabies program of the
national Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. But the outbreak of a
bat rabies variant among terrestrial mammals in Arizona is unusual.
As people create comfortable human habitats in the desert, wildlife thrives
in the same areas, Dr Rupprecht said. Skunks are grassland animals that do
not typically live in high densities in deserts, he said, but construction
of golf courses near Flagstaff gave them room to thrive, and high
population density likely is related to the adaptation of the rabies virus
variant associated with brown bats.
The adapted variant is now demonstrating how viruses adapt and emerge, Dr
Rupprecht said. And there is a risk that, if it is truly adapted to fox
species, it could spread into the Navajo Nation and cause an outbreak in
unvaccinated dogs.
Navajo Nation borders the outbreak zone
The Navajo Nation’s border is also 10 miles from Flagstaff, and high desert
country is the only barrier, Dr Bender said. The nation’s residents
frequently travel to Flagstaff to adopt cats and dogs. He and the nation’s
other veterinarian have frequently vaccinated dogs against rabies, and the
Indian Health Service hosts an annual rabies clinic, but estimates indicate
only between 5 per cent and 15 per cent of owned dogs on Navajo land are
vaccinated.
Dr Bender said his office has been investigating the use of oral rabies
vaccines in feral and semiferal dogs as well as the use in dogs of a birth
control vaccine developed for use in deer. The research has included pen
and field trials of the available rabies vaccine and oral rabies vaccine
baits, and at press time he expected some of the results would be presented
at the International Conference on Rabies in the Americas in October [2009]
in Quebec City.
Dr Bender said it is fascinating to watch the virus’s proliferation in
foxes and skunks prove some theories about adaptation correct. He said it
is likely similar to the time when lyssaviruses such as rabies 1st jumped
from a bat into a terrestrial mammal.
But the fascination is accompanied by concern, Dr Bender said, and his
program is monitoring for outbreaks and performing research to reduce the
risk dogs will become infected and potentially expose people to the virus.
Any positive tests for the virus would be followed by a community
vaccination clinic and, likely, a reduction in the feral dog population.
Outbreak centered in Flagstaff
The adapted virus is transmitted the same way as other rabies strains, and
there is no indication it is more infectious, Levy said. Treatment for
humans or animals exposed to the strain would be the same as for any other
rabies exposure. “It’s still rabies virus and probably being transmitted by
way of animal bites or saliva exposures,” Levy said.
The Department of Agriculture’s Wildlife Services, the Coconino County
Health Department, the Arizona Department of Health Services, local animal
control officials, the Arizona Game and Fish Department, and partners on
Indian lands have worked together on surveillance and wildlife vaccination,
Levy said.
The county health department imposed quarantine zones to make sure pets
were vaccinated and people obeyed leash laws, Levy said.
Wildlife Services was involved in the distribution in July [2009] of more
than 130 000 vaccine baits, mostly by air, to create herd immunity in
foxes, Bergman said. The air drops of oral rabies vaccine were the 1st in
the state, and the baits were dropped within about 15 miles of every known
rabies case in the Flagstaff area. About 110 skunks were also trapped,
vaccinated, and released. The oral rabies vaccine baits do not work on skunks.
Increased surveillance and laboratory testing have been used to monitor the
virus variant’s prevalence and distribution, Levy said, and the adapted
rabies virus variant appears to still be isolated to northern Arizona.
Health authorities have recorded an above-average number of rabies cases in
animals in the rest of the state, but Levy said, “A lot of our rabies
activity in our terrestrial mammals is all driven by natural animal
population fluctuation.”

>>>And the school we taught in decided they didn’t like him!<<<
LOL That’s the problem with old grandfather misfit geezers - lots of people don’t like them... They don’t play the shmooze (sp)game very well. So we just tinker and try different things out of curiosity - toss out the failures and revel in the successes...
>>>Why didn’t I just ping you directly, DW ;)<<<
Cuz when you share openly, I too get a chance to learn from others... ;8-)
(had to work my spectacles into it)
>>>Can you use store bought yogurt as a starter?<<<
Yep - But only if it is the LIVE type like Dannon and others. Some are pasteurized after culturing and that kills the acidophiles bacteria so you can’t use that. They usually state ‘live’ somewhere on the container.
>>>What is the purpose of the dehydrator? Remove liquid or furnish heat? If for heat, could you make this on the back of a wood-burning stove?<<<
Purpose is for even temperature. Yes, you can do it on the back of a wood stove.
>>>Can you use pasteurized milk,or must it be raw milk?<<<
Either works, but probably better to use pasteurized (heat to 185 degrees F. for at least 10 minutes and then chill VERY rapidly - the faster the better for best taste - haven’t heard of any undulant fever recently, but better to be safe. You can also use soy milk and even powdered milk. The thickness of the yogurt is related to the butterfat content and milk solids, and can be enhanced by adding some powdered to the regular milk for a thicker yogurt.
Check the temperature on the back of your stove (I would put a container with water and a thermometer till I found the right temperature zone) - you want a steady 110 degrees F. to culture it for 4-6 hours. Below that temperature it doesn’t culture and above 115 it will kill it leaving you with hot milk.
>>>At 81 years of age, do you think Obama would consider his life worth the expenditure, even though he has had eight healthy, productive years since? I think NOT.<<<
He has the very best of medical care - YOU!!!
Government can/will never equal that!
Made me think of your friend who put a layer of fudge in the middle of the orange cake.
