Well... not the German, commercial, electronic music festival version of it ;D
(though the one in my city was also moved by two months because of our shitty weather)

Mh, the greenbutts website doesn't mention anything about seeds. The filters are fully biodegradable though.
I'm not sure this would work as the heat would kill most seeds. There may be some more heat-resistant species, but if they can find the right conditions for growing is another question (and if the seeds are affected by the Nicotine toxin).

haha I was wondering if someone will pinpoint the city
The color dust is manageable if you wear sunglasses and hold your breath (some were using mouth protection but it's not really necessary unless you get hit by surprise).
Looking at my shower, you wouldn't want any rain though
Take a moment to click this link. It is pretty cool. I think my favorite is the El Hotel del Salto in Colombia

Anyone else try this? Just decided it sounded amazing and I have everything on hand.
It did NOT turn out like the picture! It's likely a mix of either using too-large eggs or my slices of bread being far too small but the egg, meat, and cheese took up much more room than what's shown. I sort of feared this but I pressed on anyhow.
I actually started by buttering the bread because I figured it'd be getting flipped and I wanted it to grill nicely like a grilled cheese. I also used eggs that are on the verge of being too old so the yolks were raised a bit too high so I broke the yolks to make things fit a little better. From there upon seeing the meat and cheese being too large I tore them into smaller chunks and scattered them into the egg. It was then when I tried to cap it with the original piece of bread that was cut out that everything went everywhere.
I made two of them side-by-side and honestly they're edible. The first one was really good and the second tasted peculiar, likely owing to the old eggs that I used.
I initially envisioned this would be thrice grilled as I expected the first time being the outer section of bread, egg, meat, and cheese. And then after those cooked well enough I figured I'd flip it and grilled the backside with the replaced inner bread and lastly throw another slice of buttered bread back onto the egg showing front side to keep everything in the center and have grilled bread on both the front and back. This was unnecessary as the egg cooked well enough that it actually held firm and probably should have even been browned a little longer to make things less runny.
Just figured I'd share my experience. It wasn't a complete disaster but I think next time I'll use half a slice of meat and cheese for each "sandwich" I create since there was simply too much in there causing everything to ooze everywhere and make the back side a mess.
Oh, and for the person asking about the finished shot in the instructions it's because they cut the finished slice in half and folded it over. You can see that from the egg halves meeting in the middle and the two layers of meat and cheese.

Make a normal samich, soak it in beaten eggs (like a french toast but with less eggs) grill it for about 3-4 minutes, enjoy.

Pele: Do I ever!
Gerry: Do you like nachos?
Pele: Yes, Mr. Ford.
Gerry: Well, why don't you come over and watch the game, and we'll have nachos? And then, some beer.

Thought of doing just that as well as making grilled peanut butter and jelly sandwiches with french toast. But I sort of like this way and also only requires a single slice of bread per sandwich as the egg closes up its side nicely. A good was to conserve on bread use a bit since I feel like I eat too much of it sometimes, heh.
But thanks for the suggestion. I'll give it a shot and see how I feel. I'm always up for different sandwich ideas.
And now I'll quit discussing sandwiches in this thread!

Photographer Kawika Singson getting up close and personal with lava as his shoes and tripod begin to catch fire.
Still wondering how he did it. He explained, that it's staged in the sense that he posed for this photo for a few seconds before it was too hot (and not someone observing him casually while he slowly takes his own pics with that tripod or whatever).
But they must have also added something easily flammable to the tripod and his shoes. The heat necessary to this w/o tricks would certainly be possible on a lava field, but I doubt you could stand it for even a second, or even get out alive (plus rubber/metal melts first / rubber burns with a lot of smoke).
Or maybe it was windy and only the first few cm of the air above that lava crust were that hot.
He used some accelerant. They talked about it on the local news, because it's the sort of thing local news talks about.
There is a part in the mystery manga SOIL where people start wearing these kind of masks. Very creepy.
LOL, the expression on the dogs face, he almost looks like he's not impressed.
That one should be in the pics that make you laugh thread.
I few of the pix I took when I went to Yellowknife this past February.
I sat there for 30 minutes having the following three pieces of music on loop. The experience was surreal. The photo quality is alright I guess I'm not a pro at using high end cameras...any pointers on how I can sharpen the images with Photoshop or something?

That is a big baby.
This is such a sad picture, this means the polar bear is so hungry it will do anything for food. Normally polar bears stay away from ships, but it seems, it had no choice.
Another dying species. Just read Douglas Adams "last chance to see" again and the dolphin he wrote about is already extinct.
