Walls Have Eyes - surrealist film shot in Rangoon, Burma

Walls Have Eyes - surrealist film shot in Rangoon, Burma
Video sent by zzzeroX

A surreal short film created without any script or plan. A room attendant in a hotel in Rangoon, Myanmar (Burma) is chased through a wormhole and killed by an invisible entity. An exploration into the space-time distortion of film and video in a place where ghosts are still very real.

Music video for a Mujaji track originally recorded in 1997 and given a production upgrade in 2002. Filmed in the Westminster Tube Station in downtown London and around the groundhog caverns of Neversink, NY. Show us the way to those glittering caves. Someone must know the way....

A practical call to join the delicious revolution. To take back our future from multi-national corporations we must defend our seeds. To do this we need the support of Mother Earth which we receive when our hands are deep in her rich soil.

Hella Delicious: 106 - Homemade Yogurt

Hella Delicious: 106 - Homemade Yogurt
Video sent by HellaDelicious

Demonstrating how easy it is to make healthy, live-cultured yogurt from fresh raw goat's milk.

This slow/low heat method ensures that the enzymes and cultures will remain available for intestinal health. More information.

Also shows three methods of incubation. The towel method is the one I use-the cooler is much more hassle than it is worth!

The cute goats who provided the fresh milk live at M and S Farm, 5814 Route 42, Fallsburg, NY.

Step back in time and experience the sweet goodness of maple syrup. In this old-fashioned sugar house, sap collected from surrounding maple trees is reduced to rich syrup in an wood-fired evaporator.

Maple syrup is an excellent alternative to processed or chemical sweetners. The Muthig's maple syrup tastes of deep roots, love and the wild beauty of the Catskills. This sugar house is well worth a visit in February or March when the temperature is right, the sap is running and the oven jumping.
Location: Muthig Sugar House, 681 Muthig Road, Parksville, New York 12768.

This signature Burmese side dish is usually made with dried shrimp powder. This version with only peanuts is served for vegetarians and can be made more or less spicy according to taste.

A purely addictive combination of flavors. An excellent protein complement condiment for rice. It also makes a nice topping for salads or soups.
