    Opium pipe

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hookah [Also known as the head of the hookah, the bowl is a container, usually made out of clay or marble, that holds the coal and tobacco during the smoking session. The bowl is loaded with tobacco then covered in a small piece of perforated aluminum foil or a glass or metal screen. Lit coals are then placed on top, which allows the tobacco to heat to the proper temperature. There is also a variation of the head which employs a fruit rather than the traditional clay bowl. The fruit is hollowed out and perforated in order to achieve the same shape and system a clay bowl has, then it is loaded and used in the same manner. Bowls have evolved in recent years to incorporate new designs that keep juices in the tobacco from running down the stem. The Tangiers Phunnel Bowl and Sahara Smoke Vortex Bowl are two examples of such bowls. ------------------------------------------- The hooka is the best and in time tested for a thousand years in arab world since they don't have anything but hashish and tobacco [no alcohol]they know for sure. But answer to your question probably the long tobacco and a thin stem http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smoking_pipe_%28tobacco%29 [The bowls of tobacco pipes are commonly made of briar, meerschaum, corncob or clay. Less common are cherrywood, olivewood, maple, mesquite, oak, and bog-wood. Generally a dense-grained wood is ideal. Minerals such as catlinite and soapstone have also been used. Pipe bowls of all these materials are sometimes carved with a great deal of artistry.] So not a opiumm pipe (pipe was used for a long ways 9 inches from the very hot bowl bubbling opium[plant tar] bowel for getting out the tar hot [the tar would in the stem the stem of the pipe] [not into the lungs] and so inhaling morphine[ All I got is http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opium_pipe [An opium pipe is a pipe designed for the vaporization and inhalation of opium. True opium pipes allow for the drug to be vaporized while being heated over a special oil lamp known as an opium lamp. It is thought that this manner of "smoking" opium began in the seventeenth century when a special pipe was developed that vaporized opium instead of burning it. [1] The configuration of the typical opium pipe consists of a long stem, a ceramic pipe-bowl, and a metal fitting, known as the "saddle", through which the pipe-bowl plugs into the pipe-stem. The pipe-bowl must be detachable from the stem due to the necessity to remove the bowl and scrape its insides clean of opium ash after several pipes have been smoked. The stems of opium pipes were usually made from bamboo, but other materials were used such as ivory, silver and jade, to name a few. Pipe-bowls were typically some type of ceramic, including Yixing clay and blue and white porcelain. Sometimes opium pipe-bowls were carved from more valuable materials such as jade. [2] Because of its design, the opium pipe needed an opium lamp in order to function. The lamp was as highly specialized as the pipe, and was designed to channel just the right amount of heat upon the pipe-bowl so that the opium would vaporize and allow the smoker to inhale the intoxicating vapors. Due to opium eradication campaigns in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, genuine opium pipes are now extremely rare.] ca--------------------------------------------- You anything in internet if look long enough.

    Thttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Return_of_Doctor_X [The Return of Doctor X (also billed as The Return of Dr. X) is a 1939 American science fiction-horror film directed by Vincent Sherman and starring Wayne Morris, Rosemary Lane, and Humphrey Bogart as the title character. It was based on the short story "The Doctor's Secret" by William J. Makin. Despite supposedly being a sequel to Doctor X (1933), also produced by Warner Brothers, the films are unrelated. This was Bogart's only science fiction or horror film. He never liked to talk about this film or another film of this period, Swing Your Lady, both of which he felt were among his worst. [edit] Plot A pair of bizarre murders occur wherein the victims are drained of their rare blood type. Reporter Walter Garrett (Wayne Morris) consults with his friend Dr. Mike Rhodes (Dennis Morgan) which leads them to Rhode's former mentor, hemotologist Dr. Francis Flegg (John Litel). Flegg is initially unhelpful but when Garrett and Rhodes notice a striking resemblance between Flegg's strange assistant, Marshall Quesne (Humphrey Bogart) and the late Dr. Maurice Xavier, they confront Flegg. Flegg admits that he used scientific methods to bring Xavier back from the grave and employed a synthetic blood formula to sustain his life. However, the formula is unstable, therefore, Quesne/Xavier must seek out human victims with a rare blood type featured in the formula in order stay alive. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Humphrey_Bogart he did his best as a mad scientist getting blood but became later did better as a actor as a tough guy.

    World's First Personal Brewery

    I got one in a flea market for 5 dojlars. I think that making ones personal beer is alot of work although only takes 1 to 3 weeks. have to boil the hops with malted grain[ as the grain is stating to sprout convertng the starch into sugar and for the stout taste the grain is toasted sfter wards for a burn't as in Irish taste and warm.. Then put into a stainless pot that has a spiral of copper tubing which is connected to the facet to cool wart[ before adding yeast] so sterile. Then put in the yeast and after 1 week a 3 percent alcohol content. Then filtration and bottling of the brew. In colder countrys like Russian siberia they just do the same thing but its so cold it freezes and the water floats to the top leaving the beer with a 12 percent alcohol content or 20 percent or higher than wine. That why beer companys say its cold filtered. Takes out the cloudiness of a beer but does it remove the yeast b vitamins? And can increase a alcohol content from 3.3 percent to 12 percent[my favorite] just like wine. It faster than wine but grape juice if not keep from the air as a air lock can turn into Vinegar is an acidic liquid produced from the fermentation of ethanol in a process that yields its key ingredient, acetic acid (ethanoic acid). ... and takes 6 months] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vinegar But as reply I can buy alot of beer before buying whats looks like coffer maker for NZD $5,660, which translates to USD $4,626. When I was going to flea market a guy had a lot of fishing lures in a box. A guy next to me said how much do you want and the guy selling said 100$. The guy next to me said [you can a lot of fish for 100$ U.S.] and walked off and I did too..

The film was produced by the Haxan Films production company. The film relates the story of three student filmmakers (Heather Donahue, Joshua Leonard, and Michael C. Williams) who hiked into the Black Hills near Burkittsville, Maryland to film a documentary about a local legend known as the Blair Witch, and disappeared. The viewers are told that the three were never seen or heard from again, although their video and sound equipment (along with most of the footage they shot) was discovered a year later. This "recovered footage" is presented as the film the viewer is watching.[2] A studio production film based on the theme of The Blair Witch Project was released on October 27, 2000 titled Book of Shadows: Blair Witch 2. Another sequel was planned for the following year, but did not materialize. On September 2, 2009, it was announced that co-directors Eduardo Sanchez and Daniel Myrick were pitching the sequel.[3]]

    LuxuryThe word 'luxury’’refers to products or services of a very high standard; however,researchers state that it elicits no clear understanding.[1][2][3] Academics also argue that luxury is a slippery term to define due to strong involvement of human elements and judgement which takes into account others views also.[4] However, there is an agreement among researchers and practitioners that luxury goods are conducive to pleasure and comfort, are difficult to obtain, and bring the owner esteem, apart from functional utility.[5] So if everything was a naturally inborn like a chicken from birth there would no reasons for places a college

The film is universally regarded as being one of the goriest of all time. And a second even more gory as seen in the U.S.. more of a comedy about New Zealand life. I like zombies movies but more about the actors, as if I was a actor, I could be type caste as a zombie forever [ hollywood as picking a actor from as a movie]] but in a zombie movie a actor has to take his changes on being noticed and not easy if you have be the zombie.. Always needs to be a extra in the crowd scene[pays 100 bucks at least but do need a actors card]\ for a zombie movie and just say to yes than on the movie lot production. Must be sober to get into the movie production place. Just smoke pot and a quart of whiskey afterward on the movie stage lot. Best zombie ever.

    devance where art thou?

    my interest is my improving understanding of biophysics [ universe model]. But as a forum member its about ethnobotany, so I have like sherlock holmes, the Mesemb nananthus. No problem as proving. As the book [original 1972 copy of the book 'Narcotic Plants' by William Embodenhas] therre 16 century wood print and obviously mesemb nananthus not sceletiun [commonly supposed to be kanna. But nobody ever grew one for testing but me and alot of others mesembs] no fermentation of leaves or the root is necessary and more alkaloid productive. The sceletium is not worth growing. What I do do is just the cut root [a small type of radish root]into long slices and dry it in a jerky maker[dryer] so fast drying and then a spice grinder [flour]. Can snort it. Make a alcohol extraction or smoking or just eat as no bitter taste[oxalic gall stone problems]. So as ethnoboatany hunter I am Sucessful and my universe model is in the stage of development[spiritual part of the forum.]l So nananthus roots don't taste bitter in any form including raw. So how much of dried powder. A pinch full in a home rolled cigartte is enough[very potent]. The reason it was hard to identify there was a scientific renaming of mesembs into different groups so the plant name became different. So the sherlock holmes became into play. Never could have did without the internet as a library so figured out the new name. A nananthus aloides beyond doubt

    More mesembrine containing plants

    Well they tried a patent as if was mesembrine was the best major alkaloid as produced of the plant[sceletium] or mesembs]. And but they also got the the wrong plant. He sold his 1/4 patent and says he shouldn't have sold it, I don't think I care except as he cannot sell his crop except as tranquilzer herb for pregnant women[ advoids the patent]. A last resource, as he can't sell legally for anything else or be sued South African court for patent infringement.. But I think just as well for Dr. Nigel Gericke, he got his money [1/4]patent] and good for him. Before the sceletium interest is going to going crash, also some sort of fungous[ probably a result of mass farming of the plant in over watered areas] Only Nananthus is the major biochemical antiflammorty production star. \

    So a lot like Star Trek. But in Star Trek they were were running around with a lot of antimatter for their engines [only warp 12, photon torpedoes, and lasers, but had nice military uniforms. http://rescomp.stanford.edu/~cheshire/EinsteinQuotes.html Alot of quotes. [Any intelligent fool can make things bigger, more complex, and more violent. It takes a touch of genius -- and a lot of courage -- to move in the opposite direction." ] [A man's ethical behavior should be based effectually on sympathy, education, and social ties; no religious basis is necessary. Man would indeeded be in a poor way if he had to be restrained by fear of punishment and hope of reward after death." [ Guess who made war worse nuclear bomb]. A couple not in. But not some recorded. [i'd wish I had burned my hands off before i wrote a letter to the president that germany was developing a nuclear bomb. A hebrew but a agnostic, not religious.But became a national security state icon. The reason his hair sticks that way was he was into slapstick comedy after a older age. So I don't think buddhism was his prime directive. But as for advoiding[avoiding a personal God and avoid dogmas] is not going to be successful, if there is God and Einstein tried it. And bugged out before w2 to the us. A limited scientific idea of human social historical record like communist are very fond of presenting but not true so the only human life is from what god says or how the national security says.. Like the catastrophe of Japan 1 2 3 reactors blow up they sent in 50 employees to get 4 reactor cooled down[electrical line to get the pump going very radioactive]].They are heros but it takes a lot of dead heroes for a political/economic[cheapist] mistake.

    Mesemb nananthus roots

    http://www.infoplease.com/ipa/A0108004.html So the plant was lost to war and after 16th century dutch sGOT as much as possible So a succleant that really onlylives on foothills slopes with little bit of sea fog providing the water. Its a pd4 isoenzyme inhibitor. And doesn't have any side effects. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phosphodiesterase_inhibitor ;PDE4 is the major cAMP-metabolizing enzyme found in inflammatory and immune cells. PDE4 inhibitors have proven potential as anti-inflammatory drugs, especially in inflammatory pulmonary diseases such as asthma, COPD, and rhinitis. They suppress the release of cytokines and other inflammatory signals, and inhibit the production of reactive oxygen species. PDE4 inhibitors may have antidepressive effects[26] and have also recently been proposed for use as antipsychotics.[27][28] It will take 15 years for the pharma companys to develop a synthetic[patent\ after a university tests it out on mice with the very trust worthy but [cheap free labor] lab techs who does the actual work[ i think called a work experience or maybe just getting work as you never had any.] But a great antiinfammatory for lungs[smoked]. They have tried others[pde4 isoenzyme inhibtors [swiss pharma company] but they have effect such as vomiting. So the nananthus is too slow growing [3 years]and time for the pharma companys to make a equal for billions of dollars of profit.
