The java client for this site didn’t work on our systems here…  the website’s troubleshooting wasn’t much use, it just says open port 443(https) and port 1045 .   No other details…   After a bit of sleuthing by our network guy, the solution was that there are actually other ports that need to be opened, they are:

NTP port,  or otherwise known as  tcp port 123, and udp port 123   outgoing

the known ones are - as repeated here:

https  outgoing

and

1045 (tcp) port   outgoing

Went there Oct 9 for lunch.   It’s located in the main street of Koreatown.   Quality was very good,  the dolsot bimbimbap was very good, as was the beef tofu stew.   For the stew, I had asked for a mild, but it still came out very spicy.

The restaurant itself is on the second floor, up a flight of dingy stairs.   Quite large restaurant, actually.

I’d give it an 8/10 rating.

Hours,  Sun-Thur.  11am to midnight

Fri-Sat  11am to 2am

People can actually buy wolf urine on the internet, via Amazon…  I guess it’s used to scare deer off…   However Amazon users have written some really imaginative reviews of the product.

One for the cellar, October 16, 2008
By Twal (UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Wolf Urine Lure-32 oz (Kitchen)
One is immediately drawn to this vintage by the colour, which is an elegant, pale straw hue with an appealing peachy fruit on the nose. It has an incredibly effervescent bead — the whole glass teams with bubbles — culminating in a frothy layer at the head.

The palate has panache, with a firm, mineral acidity that cuts through a rather elegantly styled, poised meaty presence. As with most Chateau Deerbuster products, this has the signature leafy-fresh character, which softens into a slight rancid feel towards the end.

Even though it has a rather short and crisply defined finish, I still believe this has the composition and acidity to age well in the cellar of any self-respecting urine connoisseur.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good and bad…, November 20, 2009
By J. Laury “Zombie Killer” - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)  
This review is from: Wolf Urine Lure-32 oz (Kitchen)
This product gets three stars and here’s why:

Good: This is soooooooo much easier than trying to get the Wolf Urine directly from a Wolf. Wolves are, from my experience, VERY possessive of their urine. Until the advent of the The Mountain Men’s Three Wolf Moon Short Sleeve Tee (which acts to calm the wolves) let’s just say vicious bites and deep lacerations were the norm when trying to “milk” the wolves of their urine (how else can you get it?). Even with the The Mountain Men’s Three Wolf Moon Short Sleeve Tee it was never easy. This product had changed all of that!

Bad: As a lure this thing sucks. I can’t even get a hook into it. It’s liquid! HELLOOOOOO??? Who makes a lure out of liquid??? Shiny plastic, rubber, or metal, sure, but liquid? No, this is a serious design flaw.

3.0 out of 5 stars Tell those wolves to piss off!!!, January 8, 2011
By thomas - See all my reviews
This review is from: Wolf Urine Lure-32 oz (Kitchen)
Don’t kill the messenger here, but Wolf Urine will not solve all of your problems. We’ve all seen it locked behind glass at Walgreens, the evidence room of your local police precinct, or under your parents’ bed. The fact is there’s better products out there that are not only better for you, but better for the environment. I’m talking about Jack Nicholson’s urine.

I know what your thinking, because Jack Nicholson’s urine has given me clairvoyant powers and this allows me to fantasize about Clair Danes for days without fatigue. You owe it to yourself and your case worker to spend that windfall from your pull-tabs marathon on Genuine Jack-Whizz(tm). Or, if the caste system of your local village prohibits it, you might procure yourself some John Cougar Urine. The only celebrity urine that is guaranteed to give you rickets.

God Bless

This review is from: Wolf Urine Lure-32 oz (Kitchen)
This stuff is great, as other reviewers have said. I give it only four stars, however, because the label makes no mention of what to do if it gives you an erection that lasts for more than four hours.

By The Gripester (Wellington, NZ) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Wolf Urine Lure-32 oz (Kitchen)
What they don’t tell you is whether the urine was culled from submissive wolves reacting badly to being scolded, or whether it is from manly alpha males, virilely marking their territory. Until this information is supplied, I cannot recommend this product as an appropriate Valentine’s Day gift.

See, there was this full moon, and the uranium ore just kind of fell into the bucket of wolf urine. Some splashed on me, and, well, now I like my meat very rare and I’m getting more and more tempted to chase cars. Hang on. Here comes the mailman. I have to go scare him a bit…

By Dan Bogaty “Mr. Congeniality” - See all my reviews
(VINE VOICE)  
This review is from: Wolf Urine Lure-32 oz (Kitchen)
My supply of wolf urine was running low and, tired of paying retail prices, I decided to give Deerbusters Wolf Urine Lure a whirl. Disappointed doesn’t begin to describe my emotions.
Simply put, the product does not work, as it attracted no wolf urine whatsoever.
So I guess it’s back to the Walmart for me. Don’t waste your money on this scam.

1.0 out of 5 stars Unexpected side effects, July 15, 2009
By CameroMan (Buhl, ID) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Wolf Urine Lure-32 oz (Kitchen)
Looking to enhance the potency of my natural man-musk, I applied this product liberally to my unwashed body. In my usual fashion, I waited for my lady to finish her box of wine and nightly hour of Lifetime programming. Just as she was about to pass out I made my move. I have no idea if the product worked for her, because shortly after, everything went black.

Now there is a half-eaten pigeon on the floor next to my laptop and I’ve learned that my lady has fled to her mother’s in disgust after trying, unsuccessfully, to prevent me from scent marking the entire house. Also, I smell like pee.

Make this your only stock and store 

 By Edgar (Baltimore)  

Once upon a mid-day sunny, while I savored Nuts ‘N Honey,
With my Tuscan Whole Milk, 1 gal, 128 fl. oz., I swore
As I went on with my lapping, suddenly there came a tapping,
As of some one gently rapping, rapping at the icebox door.
‘Bad condensor, that,’ I muttered, ‘vibrating the icebox door -
Only this, and nothing more.’

Not to sound like a complainer, but, in an inept half-gainer,
I provoked my bowl to tip and spill its contents on the floor.
Stupefied, I came to muddle over that increasing puddle,
Burgeoning deluge of that which I at present do adore -
Snowy Tuscan wholesomeness exclusively produced offshore -
Purg’ed here for evermore.

And the pool so white and silky, filled me with a sense of milky
Ardor of the type fantastic of a loss not known before,
So that now, to still the throbbing of my heart, while gently sobbing,
I retreated, heading straightway for the tempting icebox door -
Heedless of that pitter-patter tapping at the icebox door -
I resolved to have some more.

Presently my soul grew stronger; hesitating then no longer,
‘This,’ said I, ‘requires an extra dram of milk, my favorite pour.’
To the icebox I aspired, motivated to admire
How its avocado pigment complemented my decor.
Then I grasped its woodgrain handle - here I opened wide the door; -
Darkness there, and nothing more.

Deep into that darkness peering, long I stood there wondering, fearing,
Doubting, dreaming dreams of Tuscans I had known before
But the light inside was broken, and the darkness gave no token,
And the only words there spoken were my whispered words, ‘No more!’
Coke and beer, some ketchup I set eyes on, and an apple core -
Merely this and nothing more.

Back toward the table turning, all my soul within me burning,
Soon again I heard a tapping somewhat louder than before.
‘Surely,’ said I, ’surely that is something at my window lattice;
Let me see then, what thereat is, and this mystery explore -
Let my heart be still a moment and this mystery explore; -
‘Tis the wind and nothing more!’

From the window came a stirring, then, with an incessant purring,
Inside stepped a kitten; mannerlessly did she me ignore.
Not the least obeisance made she; not a minute stopped or stayed she;
But, with mien of lord or lady, withdrew to my dining floor -
Pounced upon the pool of Tuscan spreading o’er my dining floor -
Licked, and lapped, and supped some more.

Then this tiny cat beguiling my sad fancy into smiling,
By the grand enthusiasm of the countenance she wore,
Toward the mess she showed no pity, ’til I said, ‘Well, hello, kitty!’
Sought she me with pretty eyes that seemed to open some rapport.
So I pleaded, ‘Tell me, tell me what it is that you implore!’
Quoth the kitten, ‘Get some more.’

One Friday, Without the Milk, 

By Catherine Swinford (Raleigh-ish, NC) - See all my reviews
(VINE VOICE)    (REAL NAME)  
This review is from: Tuscan Whole Milk, 1 Gallon, 128 fl oz (Misc.)
He always brought home milk on Friday.

After a long hard week full of days he would burst through the door, his fatigue hidden behind a smile. There was an icy jug of Tuscan Whole Milk, 1 Gallon, 128 fl oz in his right hand. With his left hand he would grip my waist - I was always cooking dinner - and press the cold frostiness of the jug against my arm as he kissed my cheek. I would jump, mostly to gratify him after a time, and smile lovingly at him. He was a good man, a wonderful husband who always brought the milk on Friday, Tuscan Whole Milk, 1 Gallon, 128 fl oz.

Then there was that Friday, the terrible Friday that would ruin every Friday for the rest of my life. The door opened, but there was no bouyant greeting - no cold jug against the back of my arm. There was no Tuscan Whole Milk in his right hand, nor his left. There came no kiss. I watched as he sat down in a kitchen chair to remove his shoes. He wore no fatigue, but also no smile. I didn’t speak, but turned back to the beans I had been stirring. I stirred until most of their little shrivelled skins floated to the surface of the cloudy water. Something was wrong, but it was vague wrongness that no amount of hard thought could give shape to.

Over dinner that night I casually inserted,”What happened to the milk?”
“Oh,”he smiled sheepishly, glancing aside,”I guess I forgot today.”

That was when I knew. He was tired of this life with me, tired of bringing home the Tuscan Whole Milk, 1 Gallon, 128 fl oz. He was probably shoveling funds into a secret bank account, looking at apartments in town, casting furtive glances at cashiers and secretaries and waitresses. That’s when I knew it was over. Some time later he moved in with a cashier from the Food Mart down the street. And me? Well, I’ve gone soy.

  Chateau du Lait Blanc, watch out!, August 9, 2006

This review is from: Tuscan Whole Milk, 1 Gallon, 128 fl oz (Misc.)
One should not be intimidated by Tuscan Whole Milk. Nor should one prejudge, despite the fact that Tuscan is non-vintage and comes in such large containers. Do not be fooled: this is not a jug milk. I always find it important to taste milk using high-quality stemware — this is milk deserving of something better than a Flintstones plastic tumbler. One should pour just a small dollop and swirl it in the glass — note the coating and look for clots or discoloration. And the color — it should be opaque, and very, very white. Now, immerse your nose in the glass and take a whiff. Tuscan transports you instantly to scenic hill towns in central Italy (is that Montepulciano I detect?) — there is the loamy clay, the green grass of summer days, the towering cypress. And those gentle hints of Italian flowers — wild orchids, sunflowers, poppies. Then, one takes in the thick liquid and lets it roll across and under the tongue — what is that? perhaps a hint of a nutty Edam cheese? With Tuscan, you feel the love of every dairyperson involved — from the somewhat sad and deranged farmhand shovelling steaming cowpies to the bored union milk maiden dreaming of leaving this soul crushing life behind for a job waiting tables for obnoxious American tourists in Siena. But not too fast — sip gently, slowly, or one is in danger of not only missing the subtleties of the milk’s texture and its terroir, but — if chilled too long — also of giving oneself a blinding ice cream headache. Nay, savor the goodness that only dairymen and dairywomen working at the apex of their craft can deliver. Tuscan is best drunk young — no, no, don’t cellar this gem — I guarantee you’ll be sorry if you do. I recommend pairing with freshly baked macadamia nut scones. Milk Expectorator gives this one a 92.

What Do You Mean I Can’t Bring My Milk???, May 25, 2009

I approached the Airport Security Gate and fed my bags into the x-ray machine.
“Sir,” said the TSA agent, “is this your bag?”
“You know it is,” I replied.
“There’s no need to get testy sir,” he said.
The agent escorted me over to a side table.
“Do you mind if I search your bag?” he asked.
“What will you do if I say no?” I asked.
“I’ll take you in the back room and we’ll strip search you,” he replied.
“Then by all means, go ahead and search,” I said.
The agent opened my bag and peered inside.
“What do you call this sir?” the agent asked holding up a pair of nail clippers.
“Those are nail clippers,” I said.
“I’m going to have to confiscate these,” he said.
“That’s alright,” I replied, “they sell them for a dollar in the store next to my departure gate.”
The agent looked at me with hate in his eyes. He looked back into my bag and pulled out my gallon of Tuscan Whole Milk.
“Sir, you can’t take this on the plane,” he said.
“Why not?” I asked.
“Because, if you have more than three ounces of a liquid you could use it to blow up the plane,” he said.
I was astonished. I had no idea that Tuscan Whole Milk was so powerful.
“May I drink it now?” I asked.
“Yes,” he said, “liquids are harmless once they are inside of you.”
I drank the entire gallon of Tuscan Whole Milk that I had purchased on Amazon.com while the people behind me grew increasingly inpatient.
It was delicious.
I did not blow up.

How can you pass up such a bargain?, November 30, 2006
By Super Bargain! - See all my reviews
This review is from: Tuscan Whole Milk, 1 Gallon, 128 fl oz (Misc.)
Online ordering of extremely perishable food is going to TAKE OFF when people realize how much fun and convenient the idea is. I got my milk just yesterday. Here are all the details!

Tuscan Whole Milk, 1 Gallon, 128 fl oz
$3.99 - Quantity: 1 - In Stock
Condition: new
Sold by: Gristedes Supermarkets of New York

I was considering buying used milk from a trusted Amazon reseller but decided against it. So you’ll notice the condition of MY milk was “New.” I deserve this luxury.

I toyed with the idea of second business day delivery but Amazon in its infinite wisdom limited me to “Expedited.”

Shipping Method: Expedited

Here’s the best part.

Order Summary
Items: $3.99
Shipping & Handling: $26.25

Total Before Tax: $30.24
Estimated Tax:* $0.00

Order Total: $30.24

Why go to my local store and pay $2.99 for a galon of milk when I can have it overnight delivered for 10 times that price? I think I’ll get three gallons next time. As a current Pentagon employee, this makes perfect sense to me. You won’t Be-Lieve the taste of 30 dollar milk. It just coats the tongue with layer upon layer of bovine extract luxury. Internet milk is soooo much more milkyliscious than crappy store bought. Next, I’ll be checking out the $50 12 ounce hot coffee order. Catch the wave!

Milk for a Better Tomorrow, August 29, 2006
By C.A. Little (Atlanta, GA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Tuscan Whole Milk, 1 Gallon, 128 fl oz (Misc.)
I feel compelled to relay my story with Tuscan Whole Milk. My husband is a middle manager with the local stationery store. In an attempt to move him up the ranks of paper pushers (pardon the pun), we decided to host a dinner party and invite some of his bosses. Not being much of a homemaker, I was frantic to come up with a meal plan. That is, until I discovered the response people seem to have to Tuscan Whole Milk.

I ordered a gallon - 128 fluid ounces of pure dairy goodness. I was quite concerned about how to serve Tuscan Whole Milk, because the packaging did not illustrate any “Serving Suggestions”, like I’m used to seeing on cereal boxes, jello packets and soup cans. Nor was there any peel-back label containing tasty recipes using Tuscan Whole Milk. I was at a complete loss. While I was pondering my next move, the doorbell rang. I rushed to greet our guests and seat them in the dining room. Then, under duress, I caught a glimmer of inspiration! I ran back to the kitchen, kicking the Amazon box and air-bags out of the way, and stopped just short of the china cabinet. The Riedel Crystal! What better way to impress the upper crust than with Tuscan Whole Milk ensconced in the finest crystal wrought by Austrian artisans. I plucked a handful of stems from the cabinet and popped the seal on Tuscan Whole Milk. I was slightly overcome by the heady aromas unleashed from beneath the secure stay-fresh lid on Tuscan Whole Milk! I couldn’t believe the bouquet on this bovine libation - the sweet intoxicating blend of grass and grains, lovingly masticated and fermented into the supple, luxurious laiche that is Tuscan Whole Milk.

Since time was of the essence, I didn’t have the luxury of a full decanting of the Tuscan Whole Milk. I had to place my family’s financial stability and my husband’s professional future in the capable hands of the fine dairy savants at Tuscan Products. It was a gamble, to be sure, but we’re talking about Tuscan Whole Milk, the flagship lactose au jus. I poured with vigor and confidence. The color was fantastic - it doesn’t get any whiter than Tuscan Whole Milk. I watched as the dulcet proteins coated the interior of the crystal and ran down to rejoin their lactose bretheren in the cradle of the stem. Enough reverie: I’ve Tuscan Whole Milk to serve!

I promenaded into the dining room, carefully toting my stems of Tuscan Whole Milk on my great-grandmother’s silver serving tray. I can imagine her in her own home, serving Tuscan Whole Milk to her esteemed guests. With great hopes for the future of her own family, my ancestors, I believe my great-grandmother would’ve placed her trust in Tuscan Whole Milk back then. And now, I know this is the right move - I can feel it. First, the Tuscan Whole Milk, tomorrow a corner office!

Several sites indicate using some sort of powder, i.e. concrete powder, to sprinkle onto the oil stain and to leave it on for several days…  the oil will absorb into the concrete powder and then is swept away with a broom.   Technically, it should work, however, engine oil is pretty viscous, so the amount of oil being absorbed into the powder won’t be much.   My improved version is to instead spray liberally onto the stain a very lightweight lubricant that has a carrier that will evaporate, like WD-40.   Let the lubricant soak into the stain for 30 minutes, then sprinkle a thick layer of the cheapest baby powder you can get.   Layer should be around 1-2 mm thick.   Leave it one for at least 24 hours, then sweep the powder away.   The stain should be much less noticeable.   Note, sealed concrete will probably have much better results.
