Pellet Stove Dehydration Unit #2
In previous years we have relied upon an electric dehydrator to dry late season tomatoes, apples, pears, plums, tomatillos, elderberries and other fall crops. When our electric dehydrator broke in 2010 we re-purposed the trays and using a cardboard box as a makeshift air tunnel proceeded to use the hot air blowing out of our pellet stove to finish the task. It worked so good that I built a more permanent device to be used this past fall.
Our pellet stove dehydration unit #2 works on the same principle as the cardboard model. Hot air flows into the wooden box and is routed up through re-purposed dehydrator trays slowly but very effectively drying the foods within. During the months of October, November, and again in the early spring we often prefer to use our pellet stove to heat the house leaving the wood stove for the colder winter months, so it was only logical for us to make better use of the stoves heat by rigging up a way to dry our foods as well.
It's hard to take a decent photo inside our house so bear with me as these pictures are a bit hard to look at. This picture shows the dehydrator butted up against our pellet stove while inside tomatoes are drying. The whole unit sits atop an old barbecue stand that helps bring it to the correct height an makes it easier to roll around.
Here you can see the hole was cut just smaller than the round trays and a line was drawn so I could easily center them properly.
Inside I attached a piece of sheet metal to help direct the airflow up into the trays rather than the corners of the box.
I put bumpers on the outside so the unit would not come into direct contact with the hot pellet stove and also added a drip tray to catch any liquids that might leak out as is prone to happen when drying tomatoes.
Most of our dried goods are stored in glass jars. While tomatoes tend to lose their flavor after six months or so most fruits, corn, hot peppers, and beans will keep for years this way. Have you ever dried a tomatillo? It brings out a surprisingly sweet/tart flavor that we find most appealing, especially as an addition to our salads.
OK then, back to dreaming about spring...

Fascinating, Mr H - thank you so much. I've never heard of fruit leather, and it seems simple to make. Perhaps I would be successful with it in my solar oven :)
I love your pellet dryer - clever man :)

What a wonderful, brilliant solution! And I love the photo of your berry mush on the roof. Around here, I would be afraid the birds would think we put those berries out for them. I guess they leave your trays alone?
Anyway, I hope you all are keeping warm and enjoying winter. Please keep posting your clever contraptions!

That's a good idea for drying at least the broken dehydrator is being used for its purpose :o) Are those Blueberries in that jar that have been dehydrated? Mine are taking up space in the Freezer..Do you hydrate then for pies etc. or use them as snacks? Thanks

that is FANTASTIC! wow! the pix were great.. oh geez... remember summer when it was sunny and everyone was happy? i loved that you said you wanted to make more use of the heat then just...well... heating. we've been trying to do this more also but more than likely its me strategically baking to keep the house warm.

Wonderful post this morning.
I really utilize my dehydrator, it is a God send to me. Your little ingenious device is a real sweetie.
I love dehydrating as you can be so creative in just about anything, you just have to not be afraid of experimenting with things. I would love to dehydrate outside but I have too many bugs, and critters and no place to put things.
I love taking leftover applesauce and mix with a little jello to make tasty fruit roll ups. I also sometimes take out a few of my trays and fill them with the applesauce mixture and lay them in the dehydrator to make fruit chewys.
Have a wonderful productive day and weekend.

Forgot to add that I use ice cube trays sprayed with vegetable oil for my fruit chewys.

Brilliant! I just saw something for sale that was a dehydrator built to go on top of a wood cook stove. It was a similar idea to yours but built in the early 1900's. I would have bought it in a second but it was priced in the 'antique' catagory, so out of my range. What is old is new again!

Does your stove burn corn? Next step off the grid as I see it.
I dry strawberries, cranberries (take forever unless you scald them); both great with whole oats for breakfast. I also dry excess tomatoes and wild mushrooms; although in recent years I've become more fond of confit. To confit tomatoes oven roast them @ 200 deg or less with a little salt and choice of herbs; I also sprinkle a little vinegar on them. pack them in olive oil and refrigerate or keep cool in the root cellar.
For mushrooms simmer them in a 50% vinegar/water solution for about 15 mins. and pack them in olive oil and refrigerate or keep cool. If the mushrooms get moldy on top just remove them the rest are ok.
Both products keep for months. and while olive oil must be purchased, you end up with some nicely flavored oils to use for sald dressing or to drizzle in a nice pasta dish.
I've been doing for this for years and I'm still here..lol
Still learn much from your blog. I'm still around but am in the middle of a major house renovation. Hope to start flickr again when its over. All the Best...

Oh..and I almost forgot:
your roof top drying method is very similar to an Italian method for making and tomato paste product as documented in the classic wonderful book "honey From a Weed" by Patience Gray.
- January 26, 2012 at 5:15 PM
- meemsnyc said...
What an absolutely awesome idea!! Question for you, when you put trays of food on the top of the roof, do you get squirrels or birds eating that? I could never put food outside without every living creature around us trying to eat it!
- January 26, 2012 at 6:04 PM
- Robin said...
Tomatillos! I dry pepper and tomatoes, why did I never think of drying the tomatillos, too? They take up so much space in the freezer, because I don't like the texture of bottled. Brilliant suggestion!

Your final comment, 'back to dreaming about spring' really got me laughing out loud...
Anyway, am always impressed at your skill in doing these things...
- January 27, 2012 at 3:37 AM
- Mr. H. said...
Dani - I have a feeling that your solar oven would be perfect for making fruit leather. If you ever try it let me know how it turns out.
Jane (Thy Hand) - We are every fortunate in that we don't really have any issues with birds trying to eat our fruits and berries...except for my honey berries, they always get eaten up.
Jennifer - That's great, glad you found it interesting.:)
Ginny - Those are dehydrated elderberries that are mostly used in our salads. Our bluberries get eaten fresh or frozen like yours do because the plants are not producing that many yet.
Ohiofarmgirl - Yes, I am tired of winter and ready for spring...I want to see less white and more green. Strategic baking is a great idea, we always leave the oven door open after cooking to get that last little bit of heat into our cold house.:)
Denimflyz - I had never thought to dehydrate apple sauce, what a great idea...glad you mentioned it and I look forward to trying it.
Bangchik and Kakdah - It is fun to come up with these gadgets...especially when they work.:)
Stefaneener - If I close my eyes I can see the heat waves rising off the barn...of course when I open them and look outside all I see is snow. I'm looking forward to warmer days.:)
Jane @ Hard Work Homestead - Sounds interesting, I have been thinking of different ways we could use our wood stove in this manner. If you run across any more for sale, online, I would love to see a picture of it.
Johnny - You asked if our pellet stove burns corn? I don't know, perhaps it could. I'll have to look that up online as I am not at all familiar with burning corn this way...interesting.
Thanks for the advice on drying cranberries, we have not tried drying the ones we gather but I may give it a go next season and will remember to scald them first.
We also dry morel mushrooms...which is one of the reasons our store boughten dehydrators always break, the spores really clog up the fan and other parts and of course many of these units do not come apart so it is imposssible to clean them. I will have to try your method for storing mushrooms and tomatoes in olive oil.
Best of luck with your renovation project...oh and I ordered up some Speckled Friz Chickendive this year...you mentioned it to me once and the name stuck in my head.:)
Meemsnyc - The barn rood gets very hot and we have never had any issues with flys, birds, or squirrels. Although, it is quite possible that we have just been lucky so far...fingers crossed.:)
Robin - I think you will like them, they get a really nice sweet/tart flavor and dry faster than tomatoes. I should have mentioned that we also dry eggplants for soups and such. If you try drying the tomatillos let me know what you think.:)
Lrong - Yes winter is a dangerous time of year for me as my thoughts are on spring and summer and the garden catalogues keep tempting me with their delightful pictures of what could be.:)

Coming here is always so interesting! I have only ever dried any food in the sunshine or in a slow oven (like tomatoes). Your method seems so much more efficient, especially for the larger quantities you are dealing with!
You are dreaming about spring and we are living it. It's been unusually warm, often 20 degrees warmer than the normal average.
Greetings from Savannah!! Silke

I have thought about your metal roof dehydrating many times over the last year, wondering if you were going to continue with that process. Glad to see it has become a 'norm' for you!
And yes, the finished dehydrator contraption is excellent! I like dehydrating but hate the idea of plugging into electricity to do such a simple task. Now if only we could get the crops to ripen in November when we use the woodstove here.....Ha!
Have you ever used your dried tomatoes as tomato powder? I have been using a hand-held spinning grinder contraption my mother bought me to do it. I make a tomato powder and it's a great addition in soups and quick meals when you don't want the tomato but want the flavor and color.
I LOVE your beautiful jars of dehydrated goodness!!! Food art!

OMGosh .. we have high speed internet .. cheaper than our old s.l.o.w. poke AT&T wireless. Unlimited data use too .. let me know if you're interested in finding out how :) I love your dehydrator setup. We're (I'm;) thinking about switching out gas freestanding heater/stove .. to wood ... and am wondering if you've ever seen or used a freestanding type of device (probably convection or radiant) for baking?? I've seen old ones that were used in front of fireplaces .. and am trying to devise a way to bake with a wood stove .. in case of a loss of power or just to capture and use the wood heat. I'm still searching for ideas .. will let you know if I find out anything. Just so much research can be done now with the HIGH SPEED internet! Can you tell I'm excited? Hope you are having a great winter .. nice with all the sunshine, eh???

That is so fabulously innovative. I'm now embarrassed that I was thinking of buying an electric dehydrator. I love the idea of putting things on the roof too. Getting up there may prove a bit problematic though, I a bit scared of heights.....
- January 27, 2012 at 1:15 PM
- Robin said...
Great idea! We don't have a wood or pellet stove. Since I can't see spending a ton of money on a dehydrator we are planning to make one also. We have been doing a little research. Alton Brown makes a simple one with a box fan. We are going to give it a try.

How clever!!!!! You make it sound so easy to construct bet it took a lot of planning.

Do you use an oxygen absorber in your jars?

- Mr. H. said...
Silke - We are having a fairly mild winter so I can't complain too much but I am still looking forward to the warmer months so I can get my hands busy with planting. Glad to hear that the weather in Savannah has been good to you.
Lynn - The roof is just too easy not to use...for berries.:) I am still contemplating building some sort of dryer for the greenhouse but have yet to come up with the perfect plan, maybe this next year it will come to me.
I did make tomato powder once in 2009 and plan to do so again if we, hopfully, end up with another bumper crop of tomatoes this year. You will have to talk more about how you made the powder one of these days. I used a little coffee grinder and it was effective but not really practical. It would be fun to make some up and season it with dried herbs and such.
Dee - The fruit leather is a great way to use up extra berries and make a healthy snack that will last for years if stored properly. A previous commenter mentioned using applesauce this way and I am looking forward to trying that as well.
Cathy - I ordered two different varieties of extremely cold hardy apricot trees for this year and last fall planted a couple others as I am also quite fond of the fruit and am trying hard to get some established on our property...wish me luck.
Elizabeth - Sure, but you might want to wait until spring as it is a bit chilly this time of year.:)
Mrs. Mac - We would be very interested in hearing more about your internet set up as our is less than desirable. Micki said she will shoot you an email later today to inquire more about yours.
I am not familiar with the woodstove attachment you mentioned but have heard of people using a cast iron pot with hot coals on each side and the top to bake bread as you would when making an upside down cake. Or...perhaps this is what you are looking for - http://non-electric.lehmans.com/hardware/Stove%20Top%20Portable%20Oven
And yes, I can not remmber a sunnier winter than this one...it's been very nice.:)
Liz - I don't like heights either. A simple piece of sheet metal set up on a stand of some sort would no doubt work just as well though. To keep the bugs out you would simply have to build a fine screen to go over the top.
Robin - I saw Alton Browns homemade dehydrator and think it would work really well. If you do make it I would love to hear how it worked for you.
Norma Chang - The idea is to simply get warm air to flow through and around the foods that need to be dried and I did want to reuse the old deydrator trays...so after a bit of contemplation this is what I came up with...and it actually works.:)
Brenda - No, but I am extremely careful to make sure that all food items are dried enough so they will not mold. Also, since we heat with wood the air in our house remains dry but it is possible that under more humid conditions the storage of food in this manner would not work out as well. A glass jar that is sealed tightly should prevent moisture from entering but it would have to be sealed well.

Mr. H, here is the link to one they are selling in my area you asked about.

I made fruit-leather for the first time this year, with plums. It was yummy ! Think I´ll try next year with raspberries and strawberries, it sounds nice.I grow tomatillos some years ago, but I didn´t like the taste, maybe its better dryed? The birds are very thievish here, so outside isn´t possible. Great solution you did there with the stove ! I have an electrical dryer, but in autumn I dry everything on top of my wood- heating boiler in our kitchen.

I'll vouch for the fact that applesauce makes great fruit leather. I can hardly make it fast enough for my kids. I'd like to build a solar dryer this summer. My mom used to just pop screens in the cold frames that were made of old windows.

Kevin - I look forward to reading future posts about your own adventures in food dehydration.
Jane - Thanks, that is quite the deyhdrator. It actually gave me some ideas too. I had been thinking about how to set up hanging racks for our wood stove but this design would be even better.
Lisa - I have never tried making fruit leather from plums...what a great idea. You will have to try drying a few tomatillos sometime and see what you think, it definitely concentrates the flavours just as it does with tomatoes and other dried foods.
Eden - Sounds like your mom had a good way of drying foods, I might have to try that with my own cold frames. I'm definitely going to try the apple fruit leather too.
Ruth - Thanks for your kind words but I still have a whole lot to learn about all of this.
Granny - I try to be, one almost has to have a few tricks up their sleeve when it comes to figuring out how to grow and preserve food.
- January 29, 2012 at 6:25 AM
I can't wait to try dehydrating tomatillos! Last year I had a surplus - fed many to my chickens, made salsa verde but never thought of dehydrating them. Do you rehydrate them for your salads?
Love your inovative dehydrator! I am still using an electric dehydrator I purchased about 1982 from Montgomery Ward. It has served me well - made lots of fruit leather, dried fruit & banana chips for my son & his friends when they were in college. Since then I dehydrate lots of tomatoes, fruits, jerky & herbs. Sounds like it's a good thing I didn't dry mushrooms!
- January 29, 2012 at 8:59 AM

I keep wondering what I would do if something happened to my Excalibur. You all are proving where there's a will there's a way! I'm curious about your humidity though as this is a problem for my dehydrated foods to stay firm and crispy. The stuff keeps well, but it always ends up limp.
- January 29, 2012 at 10:15 AM
- Mr. H. said...
Sharon - I like to deydrate the tomatillos until they are very crispy, that way they can simply be broken up into small bits when added to a salad. Hold on to that Montgomery Ward deydrator, they don't build them like that anymore.
Laura - I knew the racks from a couple of our old broken dehydrators woul dcome in handy some day.:)
Leigh - The air in our house is almost too dry for much of the year due to the fact that we use wood heat and I always try to use well sealed glass jars and have never had any issues with humidity effecting the dried goods. Jane (Hard Work Homestead Blog)has an excellent post on dry canning that might interest you as well - http://hardworkhomestead.blogspot.com/2011/11/canning-next-level.html

Here in southern Colorado, where it's ridiculously sunny and dry, we just dry fruits and veggies outside on a screen. Dried sun gold cherry tomatoes and pears are my favorite.
Such a lovely bounty on your fridge-top!

You are a clever man Mr. H! I would love to make one of these some day, even when I just had the cardboard idea in my mind. I would have to lock up the cats of course because they jump on and knock over anything new to them.
- February 4, 2012 at 6:14 PM
That's brilliant Mr H, and doubly nice as you don't have to use any electricity.
We fashioned a dryer out of an old bedside cabinet and some mosquito netting, to be left out in the sun. It's not pretty, but it's effective.
It's Contadina btw posting not very anonymously as it won't let me use my wordpress ID :-)

Mike - Our cats are the same way, always in to something that they are not supposed to be.:)
Contandina - A cabinet with mosquito netting sounds like a great idea. There certainly are many options for drying foods it's just a matter of thinking them up. Sorry about the ID thing, blogger must be acting up again.

Everyone imagines a wonderful ride down the rugged California coast of Big Sur, but the reality is rarely ever so pretty. There's traffic, fog, wind, and rain. It's a Gordian Knot when it comes to planning the memorable ride.
On our two-day ride, the Gordian Knot turned out to be the Gorda slide that has closed Hwy 1 for more than a month. The plan was to ride from King City to San Simeon via Nacimiento Fergusson Road – 84 miles – spend the night, and return via country roads like Santa Rosa Creek Road the next day.
Brian Cox and I started from King City at 9:30 a.m. after a two-hour drive south on Hwy 101. By the time we started, temps hovered in the mid-70s. We crossed the mighty Salinas River on a bike bridge that took us to Jolon Road (County Rd 16) and south.
As we pedaled through rolling hillsides of endless vineyards we noted a most unusual wind pattern – southerly. That's odd. It's almost always northerly, and the only time it's out of the south is when a storm is coming.
When planning a ride in this area, beware of the fierce northerly winds that blow at a steady 20-25 mph most days. It's the same with winds on the coast as it is in the King City area.
Fortunately these winds were mild, only about 10 mph, so we made good speed on the road rising gently at 1 percent. After about 10 miles we came to the only notable climb, a one-mile hump with grades up to 9 percent, for 300 feet of climbing. Over the top we descended into an oak-studded valley at about 1,200 feet altitude…. To be continued.

Neat nanoparticles could bring 10TB disks
5D DVD researchers spurned by Samsung try again
One of the Australian researchers behind a 2009 Nature paper outlining how optical media could reach 1.6 terabytes says Samsung has decided not to commercialise the technology, but has also published a new paper outlining how 12cm shinies could hit ten terabytes.
Dr James Chon, Senior Lecturer at the Swinburne University of Technology Centre for Micro-Photonics, was one of the authors of the 2009 paper which proposed optical storage media that use different coloured lasers and polarised light to create disks with more layers available for writing data. The idea suggested gold nanorods as the storage medium, as this material melts in different ways when zapped by lasers of different colours, creating denser data storage possibilities.
Chon says Samsung considered the technology, but abandoned research in the field as removable USB storage and media download services made optical disks less relevant.
But that hasn't stopped Chon and his colleagues researching new nanomaterials that could boost the density of optical media, and this week he and fellow researchers Adam B. Taylor and Jooho Kim published a paper titled "Detuned surface plasmon resonance scattering of gold nanorods for continuous wave multilayered optical recording and readout" that suggests 16-layer optical disks are feasible if laser beams aren't prevented from reaching deeper layers.
In a chat with The Register, Chon said even greater density may be possible if recording media like gold nanorods can be prepared in predictable shapes and sizes, then distributed evenly through storage media.
"We are trying to resolve that issue by having a narrow distribution of size and shape also distributing homogeneously," Chon said. "We are working on how to achieve that."
If he can pull it off, Chon said ten-terabyte optical disks are not beyond the realms of possibility.
Other applications also beckon, as Chon says the materials he is working on could be applied to objects other than optical disks.
"It could be used in security labelling and optical patterning. You could have sub-microscopic patterns you record on an item and depending on the right properties you can see things encoded in the recording medium. It could be hidden bar-coding."

ABC: The Alphabetization of the Popular Mind
Vintage Books, 1988 - 187 頁
An intense examination of the effects of technology on literacy and language. The authors argue that there is a phenomenon transforming modern culture--language is becoming part of a technology of "information systems" with an emphasis on control, rather than human exchange. As a result, all language is becoming debased.

Have not post for a long time. Ignoring my personal problemas, some regarding college, I have been in some local free software events, like Encontro Mineiro de Software Livre em early April and Encontro Nacional Linuxchix in late April, both in Belo Horizonte, Brasil. Last week I went to Porto Alegre to be in FISL (Fórum Internacional de Software Livre). Well, all those three events gave me the chance to meet new people, make new friendships and discuss about some projects.
One of those is jabber-br, a non-software project. It's a group of people (users and developers) that will promote jabber and xmpp in Brasil. I am building a client right now and intend to do something in Google Summer Code (although I don't like Google a lot).
I have been learning a little more on GTK+, have used a little of libgnutls, and like GNET a lot. Studying a little of GObject and GLib in general, I hope to build a very modular and extensible application, although, some times, I think that contributing to Gaim would be a good idea.
However, I've been working in some projects that will need my own code. Perhaps, I will build a library containing what I may reuse when writing something for Gaim (perhaps, any other client).
I thinks that's all for now.

Huh? I can't even figure out what he's trying to say.
Morning JZ,
He's referring to catcalls and women should take the degrading comments they receive as 'compliments' – and then wonder why those very same women stay in abusive relationships with ass-holes.
Almost like society grooms women to take abuse or something… :/
Sorry for the short and sweet reply, but currently working on a response to an unhinged comment on the Sunday Disservice my conservative troll is all unhinged and frothy at the moment. :>

Hey WINSTON and JTEST!
Winston, I remember you from the russia.com forums back in 2002 and on. I had no idea you created a forum. Good on ya, man.
Jtest, I got banned from the niceguy forum for pointing out what oppressive queers the admins are. I see they completely ignored your after action report about your trip to Ukraine. Ive been saying for a while that the "mens rights" "community" has been hijacked by literal homosexuals that are hell bent for leather to sustain the hatred and do all they possibly can to dissuade guys from going overseas.
As we all know, its therapeutic to point out the wrongs in society, but if you don't DO anything to fix it or overcome the problem, you become PART of the problem. Basically, anyone that advocates heading to Brazil or Eastern Europe to meet quality women is a "sell out" and is immediately set upon by the queers using tactics very much similar to those used by feminists.
Anyhow, did you post anything here about how the trip went?

Hi Grunt, you sound familiar. Weren't you the ex military guy looking for girls in the Ukraine? Did you drop off my list?
How did you find me and my forum again?
Were you on Americanwomensuck.com too?
Which trip are you talking about? All my trips are chronicled on my site http://www.happierabroad.com/articles.php

Thanks for the greets, Jackal!
Winston, yeah Im the military guy that went to Ukraine. Met and married a Ukrainian girl back in 2004. I got banned from americanwomensuck a LONG time ago, and was recently banned by the homosexual-infested the-niceguy forums. I know jtest from the niceguy site, but I was banned just as he was posting his after action report on his trip to Ukraine. From what I saw, the queers that run the niceguy forum marginalized jtests attempts to educate the straight members as to where to go to actually SOLVE problems...not just sit around and whine about it or worse, turn into a fag.
I had no idea you had a forum, Winston. I have to say that looking back at it all (since Ive been watching your progress since 2001 on the russia.com personals section) you basically have a very sound perspective on the whole issue. All things considered, the cult of feminism is the root problem. Secondary to the main problem, are America females themselves. Thus, the most effective way to overcome the problem in its entirety is to seek a wife, or girlfriend, overseas.
The problem with americanwomensuck is the utterly tyrannical administration and quirky political angle (the whole anti-Alex Jones issue from way back) that is strictly enforced. Conversely, the problem with the-niceguy forum is any guy that dares to advocate taking a trip overseas is immediately called a "sell out" and if he continues, the homosexuals break out feminist style tactics of shaming, browbeating, and in the internet realm, "counter-bumping". This is waiting for the heterosexual guy to make a meaningful post, then flood in and bury said post in a mountain of useless drivel until the useful information is pushed under.
I dont see any of that going on here, so I will be stopping by more often. I have been saying for a long time that the reason most guys drop out of the "mens rights" community after they marry is that the community is largely dominated by complete jackasses.
Winston talks the talk, and he walks the walk. Thats more then can be said for most. Kudos Winston.
I liked Ukraine. The people, while still communist, have a simple farmer outlook on life. Unlike Russians that are every bit as arrogant and uncultured as most Americans. Yes, my wife and I are still happily married. I don't know any Ukrainian, but thats due to the fact my wife studied English for 10 something years.
The Czech Republic sucked, pure and simple. In Prague things are a bit different because they benefit from the infusion of cash that tourists bring. I set up shop in Brno, just north of Vienna, Austria. The people were utterly repulsive. The females were abominable. The architecture was awesome, and just about the only thing that made my year there tolerable.
The problem with Czech females is, they are very close to the West, and get to see prosperity and freedom, and most dreadful of all...feminism. But to the average Czech female, Austrian or German females seem to extract whatever they want from men with hardly any effort. Thus, Czech females basically walk up to you with not a trace of charm, wit, or emotion, and thrust their hand out and make demands.
Hardly a recipe for success, as the plummeting birth rates in the Czech Republic can attest. I would avoid any man against spending a dime in the Czech Republic. Ive seen research on travel statistics that shows that people do indeed visit the Czech Republic, but they never return for a second visit. This is specifically related to the repugnant nature of the Czech culture and Czechs in general.
Whoa, Brno sounds bad. It sounds like Plzen. I don't think the Czech people in Prague were repulsive; they are just hard for outsiders to meet.
I had a Czech teacher from Olomouc who was as sweet as sunshine but of course she was older than me and already married. Have you ever been to Olomouc, Grunt? (It's near Brno.)
W: Hi Grunt, yeah I remember you fully now. What happened to your email? Did it change? You were on my list for a while back in 2003 or 2004. Do you want to rejoin my list?
So you succeeded in marrying someone in Ukraine. Congrats. How did you meet her?
I don't know why we got banned from the AWS forum, since we share its beliefs and values. Sometimes we get banned from forums for purely subjective or opinionated reasons without ever doing anything wrong or violating any TOS.
And ironically, the people on the forums who are verbally abusive, bully others, lie and spew garbage don't get banned, but if you are truthful, honest and serious, but step on others toes, then you get banned. Go figure.
But I do miss the quality posts on AWS though. There were many guys there that wrote quality posts with good content and insight. I wish I could bring some of those guys here, but I have no way to reach them, and the AWS forum now charges $50 to be a member!
Ladislav, if you're reading this, are you still part of AWS forum? If so, can you announce this forum there?
Yeah my forum truly represents free speech. I am all about the truth, even if offends others. And I am mentally stable too, unlike some.
Thanks for the nice quote at the end about me walking the talk. Mind if I add it to my quotes page?

Jackal, I was told by some locals that Brno is headquarters for the regional military command, and that a good amount of pedophiles and other sexual deviants tend to filter into southern Czehia where money tends to talk louder then all other factors. Thus, a vehement hatred for all outsiders. Plus, as my wife says, "they are not being rude to you specifically, they are rude to everyone!". I never really went anywhere else but some border towns near Slovakia. Oddly enough, Slovaks seem more down to earth and simple. They also don't care for Czechs that much.
Winston, I dont really like email lists. You may have had me at the gellmcbride@hotmail address, but I rarely use that one anymore. Anyhow, I was THE first person to register on the AWS forum and donate via PayPal. The admin eventually became a petty tyrant allowing absolutely no room for dissent. At the time I had just been introduced to the Alex Jones radio show, so I had mentioned something about it. AWS then spiraled off into an anti Alex Jones tirade and that he had lived in Austin, Texas and knew Alex etc etc. I was banned shortly after, and dont really miss the site, but as you said, I miss some of the good posters. All of whom are long gone.
To me, the "mens rights" movement, for lack of a better word, has stagnated due to its failure to properly address not just the disease (feminism) and its attendant symptoms (the misery feminists bring as they rip our society apart) but to focus on solving the problem (objective comparisons of overseas locations and women). Most sites focus entirely on how much American females, and apparently all females, suck. Its all good and well to vent, its therapeutic, but lets not make a career of it.
I like Winston's style because he lets it all hang out and that allows others to make objective observations. Winston blitzes into the unknown with his hair on fire and, for better or worse, allows others to live vicariously though his exploits. Some may not agree with Winston's modus, among other things, but nobody can deny Winston is a trailblazer.
Feel free to add all the quotes you want, dude! I'd be honored.
Hi Grunt,
Thanks for those spot on quotes. You really appreciate what I am and that happens rare in life.
So you paid $50 to join the AWS forum? How did the owner, Chris, manage to get people to do that? Forums are supposed to be free and I doubt that people would be willing to pay that much for them. If I tried charging $50 for membership here, I don't think anyone would pay.
So you have no way of reaching the former AWS members who were good posters?

No, AWS was following me when I was on the russia.com forums, then he split off to create the AWS webpage after I got banned from the russia.com forums. He put a donate via PayPal link on the original page, (but this was back in 2001) and I tossed 5 bucks in the hat. I think the 50 bucks per year stuff started within the last few years.
After all the bans, I have come to a conclusion about the self-elected "leaders" in the men's rights community. There are those that talk the talk, and those that walk the walk. Winston walks the walk. Hes been there, done that. Guys (term used loosely?) like AWS talk a good game, but how on earth could someone sit on a forum for LITERALLY 7 years and NEVER GO OVERSEAS?!
Its simply not possible...unless of course you factor in that said persons do not WANT to go overseas. Maybe they are gay, maybe they hate all women, who know and who cares. Anyone thats serious about stopping the spread of communism (feminism, same thing) and being a true leader will go abroad, find a wife, or at the VERY least find a girlfriend or two or three.
Anyone that stays within the community without doing so most likely has other motives and should be taken with a grain of salt.
You mean Chris, the owner of AWS, never went overseas all this time? He said back in 2003 or something that he was working and saving up money. I think he said he was a pizza delivery driver, but not sure. So what was his excuse?
Maybe he was a coward.

So Grunt, are you still in the Ukraine or did you return to the US? I think when we talked years ago, you said you were planning to move and retire in the Ukraine?
Did you get the ideal girl that you wanted?

Winston, we have been back in America since 2005. Ive decided to have my wife go for naturalization, then we will leave America for good. Reason being, the rapid fall of the American dollar. My Veterans pension is barely enough to keep a roof over our heads, and the American economy is utterly destroyed. Since we have been married, the greenback has lost about 40% of its value. At this rate, my monthly pension will buy me a cheeseburger and a coke. We have our eyes set on Canada, but Ill be damned if Canada isn't doing all they can to keep American out. The economy in Alberta is screaming along and in B.C. its almost as good.
Hey, gordan, dont worry about being banned from the AWS forum. The admin there has killed his own site. It used to be a pretty fun place to exchange ideas and opinions, but now its a small handful of AWS clones parroting each other.

A second add on?
Was there a first?
Here's a new interview with general director GSC: http://kp.ua/interview/detail/298/
Google translation:Q: Здравствуйте, Сергей. На апрельском Сталкер-календаре, под надписью STALKER читается полустертая надпись "Зов Припяти", что это - название новой части Сталкера или просто первоапрельская шутка?...
A: Это и есть название второго аддона... Второй аддон к «Сталкеру» выйдет в этом году, осенью. Идей, как всегда, масса, но до разработки доживают единицы. Мы не делимся никакими мыслями до тех пор, пока не принимаем решение разрабатывать проект. А это стадия, когда уже есть на что посмотреть. Но могу сказать, что «Сталкер 2» мы будем разрабатывать однозначно.
Q: How do you do, Sergey. On the April Stalker- calendar, under the inscription STALKER is read the inscription of "Call of Pripyat", that these are - the name of the new part of the stalker or simply first-of-April joke? …
A: This is a name of second addon of Stalker will leave in this year, in autumn. Ideas, as always, mass, but until the development live ones. We share no thoughts until we assume the solution to work out project. But this is the stage, when already there is to that to look. But I can say that Stalker 2 we will develop unambiguously.
A second add on?
Was there a first?
Yes, Clear Sky. It's a separately functional game, but it's not a proper Stalker 2.
I agree it's a bit confusing.
As Rogue Keeper wrote, CS was a standalone add on.
Great news, BTW. One more game to wait for.

Most addons do at least make some pretense of being connected to the first game (in software terms) though, don't they? Like sharing the odd resource rather than being completely separate entities. Or they once did didn't they?
Of course, I don't know what else to call Clear Sky, but hey...
So, Stalker 2 then. I hope there's more river in this one. I like large bodies of water.
Shadow of Chernobyl : Stalker 1.0
Clear Sky : Stalker 1.5X
Call of Pripyat : Stalker 1.7X
There are plans for a proper "Stalker 2", and it should be a radical technological leap (probably different engine too) as opposed to Clear Sky, which is built on the very same technological basis as SoC, just slightly tweaked and with added eye candy.
The devs probably wanted to avoid criticism that Clear Sky as a "sequel" made little technological progress, so they promoted it as an add-on. What's a bit deceiving, but there you go. Since it does not install on top of Shadow of Chernobyl, it creates this confusion.
Which makes me think I should finally buy it and play it. I'm just waiting for the the price drop further. I wasn't convinced it's a MUST PLAY back when it was released.
Also I have munchings for a third run of Shadow of Chernobyl, I'd just like to try it with some decent big mod. Initially promising AMK 1.0 disappointed me in later areas because of the ridiculous hordes of spawned monsters, but now I'm too impatient to wait until AMK 2.0 comes out this autumn...
If AMK 2.0 and Call of Pripyat come out roughly at the same time, I sense the fans will have a busy autumn.
Hmm, perhaps I should try Priboy Story...
Eg DoW1: Dark Crusade + Soulstorm, CoH: Opposing Fronts + Tales of Valor, Crysis: Warhead, FEAR: Perseus Mandate, RA3: Uprising... you get the idea.

No, Muzman just has a life.
I want an urban map in the next Stalker that's NOT all combat. A ghost town plz!
That's not quite... it.
new add-on hurray !!!!
no faction war please. no invisible wall city like in clear sky.
call of pripyat, nice, more assets for the modders !!!!
just right in time for Windows7 release, I played ClearSky on it and it looked so much better, especially the rain was immediately noticable as being improved and contributing much to the game's atmosphere.
let's hope the story gets improved as well....and the voiceover....and the upgrade/degradation system....so many construction sites left by CS...
i have an old dual core e6850, 4gb ram, nvidia 8800gts, creative x-fi and have win7 beta and xp-sp3 on dual boot. clear sky runs without problems on dx10 in win7, have the same settings enabled as on xp and turned on water effects in dx10. win7 itself is booting faster and working faster (explorer) than my xp install ! so I will certainly get it when it's out. vista never worked "out of the box" just like the beta did. if you need more info i can pm you my dxdiag.
Anyway, Not Stalker 2 then. I thought (in the translation) he was talking about some addon called Call of Pripyat and Stalker 2. Never mind then.
I never thought Clear Sky was a full sequel (I would have been really annoyed if it was). It was never advertised or priced as such, so that's ok.
Although I thought Clear Sky was OK, I probably wouldn't get another one like that. Not right away anyhow (and 'Call of Pripyat' is a slightly dodgy title there fellas)
there will be a stalker2 and it's being developed for the cryengine2. or its successor or updated xbox version...whatever. we'll see. most of the original devs of stalker1 are working on metro2xxxx (can't remember the number), which looks good as well.
I can't think why they'd shelve XRay at this point, after so much development. Looks great and does great things. I mean people still use Source after all these years.
I'm not aware of any evidence that Crytech (or Source or Unreal for that matter) wouldn't stumble a bit pulling the same kind of AI and landscape load.
Then again I get the odd hiccup every now and then and that's it and my PC isn't exactly top of the line, so I can live with it.
I bet that the PC build of CryEngine 3 (2.5 really) will be ridiculously well optimised.
You do realize CryEngine3 is essentially gutted out CryEngine2 so it works on consoles?
It's a step backwards from the PC side of things.

A New Normal for Ad Mail
Back in the day, advertising mail volumes pretty much tracked the economy, declining in a bust and then rising when a boom eventually came along. But those days may be gone, as our recent white paper, Advertising Mail: Past and Present, indicates.
Yes, ad mail plummeted during the Great Recession, but volumes have lagged behind as the economy has improved.

Aloha everyone, how is your day going so far? I know a lot of kids started school recently with my brothers and sisters included. It has been so crazy in my house because of all the running around and getting things ready as well as getting situated to start another school year. Today I will be uploading a fun lesson that will show you "how to draw profiles", step by step. Drawing anime or manga profiles can be difficult at times because there is so many aspects to making ones face. There is plenty of tip steps that are included which is a bonus because everyone loves it when something is explained in detail. Not only will you be drawing the profiles of a face, you will also be teaching yourself how to draw anime noses as well. I plan on uploading all new anime lessons that will be both helpful and informative to aid you all to making better anime and manga characters. For today anime profiles will be what I'm uploading, then tomorrow will be something else. If you have an idea, or are struggling with a certain area when it comes to anime or manga, please don't hesitate to drop me a request. I know I may take a long time to fill requests, but I will do them eventually. Well, have fun people, and remember to rate, comment or both. I shall return.

Name: Catrina Powell, 26
Body found: Behind strip mall at 7530 Sheridan Blvd.
Investigative agency: Westminster Police Department
Date body found: Oct. 25, 2004
Cause of Death: Beaten
Suspect: None identified
Catrina Powell grew up on the streets. As an adult, she was hooked on crack and methamphetamines and survived by selling her body.
But a friend of hers who hung out with her on Colfax Avenue said her killer wasn't your typical serial sex maniac.
He beat the 26-year-old woman to death to silence her after she was arrested on a marijuana charge in Denver believing she snitched, the confidential police informant said. At least that is one theory.
Powell disappeared on the night of Oct. 24, 2004.
Her naked body was found early in the morning on Oct. 25 near a trash bin behind the Country Meadows strip mall at 7530 Sheridan Blvd. in Westminster.

Need help? Advice?
10-6 EST, m-f
You don't have to be a grownup to make an artistic impact. Lavinia "Vinnie" Ream was accomplished enough in 1886, at the age of 18, to be commissioned by Congress to create a marble statue of President Lincoln. Wang Yani's marvelously expressive paintings of monkeys appeared on postage stamps when she was only 8. And Aelita Andre did her first gallery show in Chelsea at the age of 4 (and believe it or not, her abstract art is truly beautiful).
Your child doesn't have to be a prodigy to enjoy and benefit from making art, though: we've never met a child who didn't love scribbling with crayons, rolling and kneading modeling dough, and making an unholy mess with paint. read more
For open-ended artistic fun, we've got tons of Art Supplies designed for every little artist from beginner to expert. Preschoolers can create their first masterpieces with mess-minimizing Do-A-Dot Art markers and easy-to-grip Finger Crayons. More advanced artists can delve into the mysteries of the Spirogiro, discover the wonders of origami, or just go wild making art in every kind of media at once. Our Dough & Molding department gives a wide variety of options for open-ended modeling fun – take your pick between Play-Doh, Playfoam, Sculpey, Bubber, and more.
For more structured artistic play, Alex Toys offers lots of Little Hands arts & crafts kits, which cater to the artistic abilities of toddlers and preschoolers, giving them results they can proudly show off without needing Mom to do all the work. Once kids have the fine motor skills to manipulate scissors, glue, yarn, and other art supplies, the sky is the limit – they can make everything from mosaics to puppets. If your child has a passion for accessories, she can make oodles of jewelry with our assortment of Bead Kits. And our Fashion Design department delves even further into the world of accessories, with hairbands, wristwatches, tie-dye, and more.
Ultimately, arts and crafts engage a child's imagination and sharpen her skills, and who knows? Maybe you've got the next Vinnie, Yani, or Aelita on your hands. But if you don't, that's fine too – because every piece of art your child makes is the most beautiful art in the world, to you. show less

theft, or loss of a cellular phone or paging device that a parent voluntarily provides for
a student. Students who violate this policy shall be subject to established disciplinary
measures. District employees shall confi scate any cellular phones or paging devices from
students who violate this policy. If a student commits a third violation to this policy in a school
year, the privilege of possessing a cellular phone or paging device shall be revoked for the
remainder of the school year.

Still have questions?
That's great, we've got answers.
Because searchRx isn't insurance, there is no program or membership to enroll in. Once you receive your card, just show it to your pharmacist and start saving on your prescription medications.
Yes, of course! Our card is not insurance, we simply provide discounts on prescriptions. Because pricing is an ongoing negotiation, please bring both your insurance card and searchRx coupon to your pharmacist to see which provides a more cost-effective option for you.
No. As mentioned previously, we are not a replacement for insurance. We merely provide discounts through coupons for prescriptions. Any purchases through searchRx will not count toward an insurance deductible.
