You are over-filling your ELB. Filling it past half you are restricting the airflow and PREVENTING vaporization. You will be shocked by the vapor even just a pinch of good herb produces. I never fill an ELB more than half way, usually 1/4 or less. A pinch with the dial set at 2 o'clock...

I don't know about the Dune bit. I really liked the SciFi channel's miniseries of Dune with Alec Newman as Paul Atreides - it did leave out a lot, but almost everything in it was right from the book. I don't know how it could have been much better. And their Children of Dune with James McAvoy as...

You do know Adams was head writer for a number of Tom Baker's Doctor Who seasons, don't you? Some of the funniest episodes ever. Especially check out The Pirate Planet, written by Adams.

Well, I got my IR thermometer and here are my results. I think my ticker runs hot. With both the EVO and the ticker at 5, I get an average reading of 550 F down the bamboo in the EVO. In the ticker, I get an average read of 580 F down the bamboo. EDIT: After more heat up time, my ticker is...

I'd forgotten this cheesy thing existed. But I watched all of it as a kid and loved it. And forgot to mention one that looks just as cheesy but is awesome - Patrick Mcgoohan's The Prisoner.

Damn, completely forgot i had one of these useless fuckers once. I think I repressed it.

I had one of these a looong time ago, part of a huge water and air pump rig from Butterfly in NY, could alternate between vaping (if you can call it that) and combusting. Only used it for one day. Got busted on the way home to NC (I had other cargo:leaf:), didn't get another until some Vapor...

Today it's an Escoffier, a Madeira and mushroom-finshed veloute (made it so might as well use it up), with an asiago and black forest ham brown rice. Better presentation today.

I agree with all of the above- the fluid dynamics are every bit s important as the heating. IMHO, that's why the taste and ABV from the EVO are much closer to those from the VHW, which has always used multiple Venturi tube structures, creating Bernoulli choke-points. The EVO has that MUCH more...

EVO has been knocked off the table for the first time, and seems fine. Just another 49 or so incidents to see if it's as tough as the OG. Plus some abuse by my animals.

'Thermal mass' is widely used in engineering (the wikipedia entry acts like it is only about buildings, which is odd - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermal_mass). But thermal mass is the general concept that mass provides a form of temperature inertia or control - a 4 oz. piece of rock, heated...

I ordered a new IR thermometer - I lost mine, think it's with my lost Pinnacle - so I can check the temp difference between the OG ticker and the EVO. After more testing, I definitely agree with those who've pointed out that the EVO is much better with an HT than the original cloud. Really...

I did write about 100 pages on the VALIS novels and Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep in grad school. SO maybe I should try an accurate screenplay. Another note, for hard SF fans - the title "Blade Runner" was taken from another SF writer (Alan Nourse), and was the name of a completely...

I'm not talking about a change in plot, it basically throw the entire novel out other than the idea of replicants, which wasn't new - shit, Rossum's Universal Robots by Capek is about replicants, though his use of 'robot' was later appropriated for mechanical artificiality. The novel isn't...

And a compendium from Vampire's Kiss. Somewhere in there he gets to the mescaline.

I just heard ,Warehouse 13 is being cancelled.

I don't know about that. If I'd never read the book (Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?) I would think Blade Runner was brilliant. Compared to the novel, though, I gotta call it crappy. Turns a novel about the nature of the soul into adventure mixed with a completely inaccurate identity...

Actually, that is a traditional function of even low-level executive branch enforcement policy - too wit, a cop can send someone home who is DWI if they have a safe driver with them and no record, which happens all the time. That is an unelected police officer deciding when and where to enforce...

Started reducing a huge amount of chicken stock to make a proper Veloute tonight, if all turns out correctly. So the Veloute came out tasting mazing, like liquor of chicken, but a little darker than it has in the past. But tho sis the 1st time I've done it with organic free range chicken...
