Movie Interest In The Book: "My Panty Drawer Dilemma: How I Started The Fabulous Panty Drawer Intervention."
It seems there's quite a buzz about author Sahara Hill's book.
The book that's causing all the buzz and interest is about women and their panty drawers.
No word who is interested but, from the looks of it, many are interested in making this a movie for women.
I have to say...I loved the book.
When the follow up comes out, I'm going to be the first one getting mine. I heard through the the literary grape vine, that it may include a first lady getting a panty drawer intervention.
Interesting...

Steak Made from Human Excrement: Is It Safe?
(Livescience.com) The mere idea is stomach-churning: creating food from human feces.
But researchers in Japan say they have done just that. They have synthesized meat from proteins found in human waste, according to news reports.
While the concept of chowing down on steak derived from poop may not exactly be appetizing, we wondered: is this meat safe?
In theory, yes, experts say. But the meat must be cooked, which will kill any noxious pathogens before you eat it.
"In the food safety world we say, 'don't eat poop,'" said Douglas Powell, a professor of food safety at Kansas State University. "But if you're going to, make sure it's cooked."
The Japanese researchers isolated proteins from bacteria in sewage. The poop-meat concoction is prepared by extracting the basic elements of food — protein, carbohydrates and fats — and recombining them.
The meat is made from 63 percent proteins, 25 percent carbohydrates, 3 percent lipids and 9 percent minerals, according to Digital Trends. Soy protein is added to the mix to increase the flavor, and food coloring is used to make the product appear red.
The researchers came up with the idea after Tokyo Sewage asked them to figure out a use for the abundance of sewage in mud, Digital Trends says.
Powell is not familiar with the researchers' method, but said he guesses that they are first heat-treating the sewage before they reap its resources.
Powell said the idea is not all that different from eating plants that have been fertilized with manure or other excrement, because the nutrients in the poop become part of the plants.
"Theoretically, there's nothing wrong with this," Powell said. "It could be quite safe to eat, but I'm sure there's a yuck factor there," he said.
However, Powell said there is the potential for cross contamination in the laboratory where the poop meat is made. That's why it's a good thing the meat will eventually be cooked.
But what if the final product was not going to be cooked?
"I wouldn’t touch it, " Powell said.
Pass it on: Meat made from poop is safe, but you should cook it before you eat it.
*Can you say "YUCK, YUCK, and YUCK!! Why in the hell would someone create meat from poop? Who would eat that sh*t? Would you?
Again; what in the hell were these people thinking?
I have to say, this takes organic down a level. When you think about what they have to do in order to create the meat, and add different components to make it tasty, that is scary. I mean really scary!
As we think of waste, we think of it being "yucky" and not something to put back into our bodies for food cosumpution. It has to be something of a trial thing and hopefully not something they are putting on the market for human consumption. If that's the case the then I will be a vegan for life.

Nazi grandma
(The Daily Caller) Most 81-year-old ladies do normal 81-year-old lady things. They play cards with friends. They spend time with their children and grandchildren. Maybe some volunteer at food banks or animal shelters.
Gudrun Burwitz, on the other hand, works to help keep the spirit of Adolf Hitler’s Nazi Party alive.
Burwitz is the daughter of Heinrich Himmler, the man who was charged by Hitler with running the Gestapo, SS, and the extermination program which took the lives of millions of Jews. She continues her father’s legacy today, leading the German group Stille Hilfe, which translates to Silent Help.
The group, formed in 1951 by former higher-ups in the Nazi Party provides “quiet but active assistance to those who lost their freedom during or after the war by capture, internment or similar circumstance and who need help to this day,” reports the Daily Mail.
Burwitz is currently working on several cases, with the goal of preventing former SS officers from being extradited to Germany and Denmark, where they’d be charged with murder for crimes they committed against Jews during the Holocaust.
Burwitz, known as the “Princes of Nazism,” was contacted the Daily Mail, but refused to talk about her work in helping Nazis. “I never talk about my work,” she told the British paper, “I just do what I can when I can.”

Today, with Burwitz at the helm, the group has recruited a new generation of women to aid Nazis who need financial help. The organization also provides resources for the neo-Nazi movement.

*Wow, nazi grandma...crazy or is she really fighting for what she believes?
Well, maybe it's a little psychotic, but it's not much difference than the "Black Panthers" movement.
In any event, God Bless her and maybe one day she will come to her senses.*
