I have been taking venlafaxine XR, 150mg for several months now. I have almost constant fatigue and / or sleepiness throughout the day. This problem is interferring with my quality of life. I have tallked to my family dr.& psychiatrist several times about this problem. They seem to dismiss it! All blood tests are within normal limits. I do have sleep apnea and use the cpap mask every night. However, this fatigue seems to have increased within the last few months. Can this drug be the cause? I also take buPROPion, XL,300 mg, both taken in the AM. Thanks for your help!

Hi recl,
Venlafaxine/Effexor can definitely cause fatigue. You may consider taking it at night rather than in the morning... I would definitely try that first, particularly if the venlafaxine has been working for you. If you still find that you are very fatigued during the day, talk to your doctor about trying a different medication.
Also, if severe fatigue is a long-term problem for you, and changing medications (or if the venlafaxine is working so well for you that you don't want to change) doesn't help, there are medications that can address the fatigue directly (Provigil is one that is approved for treating excessive sleepiness). I have had chronic fatigue for a long time now, regardless of the medications that I'm on, so I was prescribed a stimulant to treat this specifically (This has helped so much! Without it I find myself needing to sleep for most of the day... )
On a side note, it concerns me that your doctors dismiss your concerns... It's so important for doctors to truly listen to their patients and work WITH them! This is just my personal opinion, but I would consider looking for a new doctor if at all possible...
Good luck and take care!
Hope -
What stimulant did your doctor prescribe - Provigil or something else? I know your comment is two years old so I'll be surprised if you answer - but you never know!

Haven't seen this myself, but then again I don't have any rated songs with no Last Played date. A couple of suggestions:
1- Try a Reset or Restore of the iPhone.
2- In your smart playlist criteria, add "Media Kind is Music". Strange, but sometimes this nudges a smart playlist into behaving.
3- Modify your criteria as follows:
Match All:
- Media Kind Is Music
- Rating > 3
(indent) ----> Match Any:
.....................- Last Played Not in the Last 8 weeks
.....................- Playcount is 0
That will "OR" the zero playcounts with songs that have not been played in the last 8 weeks, and "AND" all those with the required criteria of 4 or 5 stars as well as Media Kind being Music. If you don't know how to "indent" the criteria, click on the elipses (...) to the right of the last criteria you entered, and be sure to change the overall criteria to Match Any for the indented portion.

thanks for replying so quick ; much appreciated
thanks for the 0 plays OR 8 weeks idea; its more logically cleaner that what i was using.; now works a treat! thanks.
i dont think needed the media = music condition, but ill bear it in mind in case i have other funnies.
thanks very much!

Its apparent that Apple has broken this functionality on IOS7. Proof of that is easily explained because I've had the same smart playlists for years, and have used them to sync to multiple Apple devices.
Currently any device NOT running IOS7 continue to sync smart playlists correctly.
Currently any device running IOS7 does not sync smart playlists correctly.
I have:
Apple Ipod Classic 160GB - Smart Playlists update and work fine.
Apple Iphone 4 (old phone used for an ipod), running IOS6 - works fine.
Apple Iphone 5 (IOS7) - doesn't sync smart playlists
Apple Ipad mini (IOS7) - doesn't sync smart playlists.

All my devices are syncing smart playlists just fine, very complex as well as simple ones. I don't know why your iOS 7 devices are having this problem, but my iPhone 5 and iPad 2 auto-sync to dozens of smart playlists on iOS 7.0.3. So a blanket statement that smart playlists don't sync on iOS 7 is not true.
What version of iTunes are you using?
Do you auto-sync or manually manage music on your devices?
Are you using iTunes Match?
What is the problem? Certain songs in a playlist that don't sync? no songs? wrong order?
What are some example critera in an SPL that does not work?
Have you Reset or Restored your iOS 7 devices?
HighNDrye Nov 12, 2013 1:18 PM
in response to rockmyplimsoul
Itunes is patched to current.
I select playlists to be synced because I have a large library that won't fit everything onto a device.
I do not use iTunes Match.
The playlists do no populate with what they have in itunes. for example I have a smart playlist that is for 1month, 2 month, 2 weeks etc, where it would only contain items added to the library "in the last" etc etc. These playlists will show up by name, but the contents on my devices are completely missing or containing items that dont meet the criteria to be on it. I
I just added 4 albums this week, and in Itunes the albums show up in the playlists, but when I sync to my devices none of those 4 albums show up, but are copied to the device, and the playlist contains items that were not added during that time.
Pretty much those "added in the last..." SPL don't work at all on those devices, but continue to function and sync on my older devices just fine.
I have both reset, and reloaded my IOS7 devices from scratch.

Apple Macbook pro Retina version 10.8.5 and ipad 4th gen runing ios7 latest itunes (11.1.3), smart playlists don't sync. I remove a standard playlist on computer it does not remove on ipad (Ipad retina ios7). Cant make a playlist on the ipad ios7 by choosing ratings of songs! Can't add a currently playing song to a playlist while it is playing. I have to go to playlists and search for the song in the library (how dumb!) and then add it to a playlist. At this moment Itunes on ios7 is pretty much not usuable to me. So annoying.
The only way I can play a smart playlist is by choosing shared on ipad itunes and it will bring up the playlists from the computer, but if I disconnect the computer I can no longer access the smart playlist. If I delete a song on the ipad it does not delete on the computer. It seems I now running two seperate databases of music and I have to work on each independantly. Feeling sad.

So through my testing:
A complete wipe and reload of my device let me sync the smart playlists, and the content was correct. So I thought I was out of the woods...
The very next sync (after I added some new music to my library) the smart playlists didn't update with the new tracks that are within the smart playlists.
FYI - this still happens on Iphone4, iPhone5, and an iPad Mini.
More or less, Smart Playlists are broken still.

When you say you did a "complete wipe and reload" did you load your backup after restoring? Sometimes backups are corrupted, so restoring and then loading a (corrupted) backup allows the problem to persist. The only way to break the cycle is to restore again and start from scratch (i.e. don't load your backup).
All my SPLs on iPhone 5 and iPad 2 are syncing just fine in iOS 7, and they match-up to the same contents as in my iTunes library (I auto-sync to specific playlists). This functionality is not broken, but something else is on your devices. Now, I did have other (unrelated) problems with iOS 7 upon installation which required me to restore, and then restore again as new (i.e. no backup) so perhaps that's why I don't see the problems you're seeing.

Nope, a complete wipe and setup from scratch.
When you say you're syncing with specific playlists, are these smart playlists that would change their content dependant on the search string? or static playlists that you've created? Nothing on my devices are broken. My ipod classic still functions fine as well.
Perhaps I have to video tape it to prove to people, but smart playlists are in fact broken.
I have a smart playlist with
Date Added is within x days
Date Added is within 2 months
These playlists change with time, and anytime I add new music to my library. After performing a "setup as new phone" from scratch I was able to get the playlists on there and it apeared to fix it, but after adding new music to the library, and re-syncing the devices, they no longer picked up the changes, so it's definitley broken.

For additional information:
I have a playlist of music added in the last month. On the initial sync all of the music on this list shows up.
I add an album or two, and re-sync. The two new albums I've added were in fact copied to the device, but don't show up on the device's smart playlist for the last month. They show up in iTunes, just not on the playlist on the device.
I listen to a lot of music, and have playlists for 1 week, 2 weeks, 1 month, 2 months, 4 months. THis way I can cycle through more of my recent music. None of these properly update since IOS7, so I'm guessing something has changed with how the device syncs smart playlists against itunes.

Actually both, a mix of smart and static playlists, as well as a "master playlist" that sums them all up for syncing. Changes that would effect the smart playlists are reflected in the smart playlists on my devices, but of course I have to re-sync to iTunes to get those changes to show up (which is a very old smart playlist bug dating back to iOS 3.x where Live Updating does not work for many smart criteria).
Although I do have a "Recently Added" smart playlist, it is not synced to my devices since I manually copy new additions into a specific (static) playlist for syncing new music. I'll give it a go with syncing it to see if I see the same thing as you, but I may have to buy some new music afterwards .
In the meantime, is there any effect once you play and/or rate a new album that belongs in your playlist? In other words, if you have a new album that should be in your playlist, but isn't, does it show up in the playlist once you play the album or rate its songs, and then re-sync? If so, perhaps unplayed and/or unrated music requires workaround criteria to capture them in your smart playlist, e.g. "Playcount is 0" to capture unplayed songs, or "Rating Less Than 1 star" to capture unrated songs.

Yeah, I've typically stayed away from the "played" or "rating" my music because of the sheer size of my library. 26k tracks.
I've had to move or rebuild my library on occasion as well, which would wipe out both of those, as well as date added I guess. I don't want to have to manually rate all my music necessarily since the function I'm looking for is the date added.
Not sure how I can get this to work, as it was working just fine prior to IOS7, and/or an Itunes 11 patch. I'm still not convinced which portion is the culprit to be honest. I'm leaning towards IOS since my ipod classic syncs new updated tracks just fine.

Vicia faba
|Vicia faba
|Vicia faba plants in flower
|Scientific classification
|V. faba
|Binomial name
|Vicia faba
Faba sativa Moench.
Vicia faba, also known as the broad bean, fava bean, faba bean, field bean, bell bean, English bean, horse bean, Windsor bean, pigeon bean and tic(k) bean, is a species of flowering plant in the vetch and pea family Fabaceae. It is not a true bean. The origin of broad beans is obscure, but the best information indicates the Mediterranean area.[1] Fava or Broad beans have been found in the earliest human settlements, remains are reported to have been found in Egyptian tombs. They probably originated in the Near East during the Neolithic Age and by the Bronze Age had spread to Northern Italy. They have been found in lakeside settlements in Switzerland and in Britain at Glastonbury. In Egypt, the beans were considered commoner food and were shunned by the upper classes.[2]Fava beans were cultivated by the Egyptians, Greeks and Romans. In ancient Rome, they were used in funeral rites.[2] It is said that Pythagoras, the famous Greek philosopher and mathematician, forbade the eating of fava beans because they contained the souls of the dead.[3]
In parts of the English-speaking world, the name "broad bean" is used for the large-seeded cultivars grown for human food, while "horse bean" and "field bean" refer to cultivars with smaller, harder seeds (more like the wild species) used for animal feed, though their stronger flavour is preferred in some human food recipes, such as falafel. The term "fava bean" (from the Italian fava, meaning "broad bean") is used in other English-speaking countries such as the US and of course in Italy. "Broad bean" is the most common name in the UK, Australia and New Zealand.

It is a stiffly erect plant 0.5–1.8 m tall, with stout stems of a square cross-section. The leaves are 10–25 cm long, pinnate with 2–7 leaflets, and of a distinct glaucous grey-green color. Unlike most other vetches, the leaves do not have tendrils for climbing over other vegetation. The flowers are 1–2.5 cm long, with five petals, the standard petal white, the wing petals white with a black spot (true black, not deep purple or blue as is the case in many "black" colorings,[4]) and the keel petals are white. Crimson-flowered broad beans also exist, which were recently saved from extinction.[5] The flowers have a strong and sweet scent which is attractive to bees and other pollinators,[6] particularly bumble bees.[3] The fruit is a broad, leathery pod, green maturing to blackish-brown, with a densely downy surface; in the wild species, the pods are 5–10 cm long and 1 cm diameter, but many modern cultivars developed for food use have pods 15–25 cm long and 2–3 cm thick. Each pod contains 3–8 seeds, round to oval and 5–10 mm diameter in the wild plant, usually flattened and up to 20–25 mm long, 15 mm broad and 5–10 mm thick in food cultivars. Vicia faba has a diploid (2n) chromosome number of 12 (six homologous pairs). Five pairs are acrocentric chromosomes and one pair is metacentric.[7]
Broad beans have a long tradition of cultivation in Old World agriculture, being among the most ancient plants in cultivation and also among the easiest to grow. Along with lentils, peas, and chickpeas, they are believed to have become part of the eastern Mediterranean diet around 6000 BC or earlier.[8] They are still often grown as a cover crop to prevent erosion, because they can overwinter and because as a legume, they fix nitrogen in the soil.
The broad bean has high plant hardiness; it can withstand harsh and cold climates.[8] Cold tolerance among fava bean cultivars varies, but most varieties winter-kill at temperatures below -9°C (15 °F) and even the most winter-hardywinter-kill at temperatures below -12°C (10 °F). Fava bean grows during cool weather when other vetches and clovers are relatively dormant, but does not tolerate heat well. Unlike most legumes, the broad bean can be grown in soils with high salinity, and a wide range of pH values (4.5–8.3) as well as in clay soil. However, it does prefer to grow in rich loams.[9]
Broad beans will grow best at soil temperatures between 15.5 and 18.3°C (60–65°F) and will not grow well at temperature below below 4.4 °C (40°F) or above 23.8 °C (75°F). Broad bean is particularly susceptible to high temperatures during the summer which makes the plants unproductive. Broad beans will grow best in a fertile, well-draining soil with a pH between 6.0 and 6.75 located in full sunlight.[10] Broad beans should be direct seeded in the garden in Spring as soon as the soil is workable and temperature is above 4.4°C (40°F) with the optimum temperature for germination being between 10 and 21°C (50–70°F). A second planting can be made in early Fall in areas with moderate winters. Seeds should be planted 2.5–5.0 (1–2 in) deep allowing 7.5–15 cm (3–6) in between plants and approximately 0.6 m ( 2 ft) between rows.[10] Tolerance to heat, drought and flood is very low. An excellent nitrogen producer, follow on crops can be given half the usual rate of nitrogen. Grows well in nitrogen poor soils.[9]
To achieve the highest nitrogen fixation, the bacteria Rhizobium leguminosarum biovar viceae, must be present. Inoculation of the planting seeds is highly recommended, especially in areas where legumes have not been grown.[11] Inoculation with Rhizobium and AMF biofertilizer is more effective for promoting growth of faba bean grown in alkaline soils than the individual treatment, reflecting the existence of synergistic relationships among the inoculants.[12]

Pests and diseases[edit]
Broad bean plants are highly susceptible to early summer infestations of the black bean aphid, Aphis fabae, and a wide variety of Aphis spp., Acyrthosiphon pisum, and Myzus persicae, (Pea aphid, Bean aphid, Cowpea aphid, Melon aphid, Peach aphid).
Aphids occur as small soft bodied insects on underside of leaves and/or stems of the plant; usually green or yellow in color, but may be pink, brown, red or black depending on species and host plant; if aphid infestation is heavy it may cause leaves to yellow and/or distorted, necrotic spots on leaves and/or stunted shoots; aphids secrete a sticky, sugary substance called honeydew which encourages the growth of sooty mold on the plant.[10] Severe infestations can significantly reduce yields, and can also cause discolouration of pods and reduction in their saleable values.
Mexican bean beetle, Epilachna varivestis, irregular patches of feeding damage on underside of leaves which causes the top surface of the leaf to dry out, giving the leaves a lacy appearance; insect will also damage flowers and small pods; pods may be damaged so badly that they drop from the plant; adult insect is an orange-brown beetle with black spots; larvae are fat-bodied grubs which taper at the end and are in rows of conspicuous spines. Beetles can decimate bean crops.[10]
Spider mites, actually Arachnids, (Two-spotted spider mite), Tetranychus urticae Leaves stippled with yellow; leaves may appear bronzed; webbing covering leaves; mites may be visible as tiny moving dots on the webs or underside of leaves, best viewed using a hand lens; usually not spotted until there are visible symptoms on the plant; leaves turn yellow and may drop from plant. Spraying plants with a strong jet of water can help reduce buildup of spider mite populations; if mites become problematic apply insecticidal soap and/or neem oil to plants; certain chemical insecticides may actually increase mite populations by killing off natural enemies (which are also mites) and promoting mite reproduction.[10]
Leafminers, Lyriomyza spp., thin, white, winding trails on leaves; heavy mining can result in white blotches on leaves and leaves dropping from the plant prematurely; early infestation can cause yield to be reduced; adult leafminer is a small black and yellow fly which lays its eggs in the leaf; larvae hatch and feed on leaf interior.[10]
Thrips (Western flower thrips, Onion thrips), Frankliniella occidentalis, Thrips tabaci, if population is high leaves may be distorted; leaves are covered in coarse stippling and may appear silvery; leaves speckled with black feces; insect is small (1.5 mm) and slender and best viewed using a hand lens; adult thrips are pale yellow to light brown and the nymphs are smaller and lighter in color.[10]
Fungal Diseases
Faba bean rust, also called Broad bean rust,[10] is one of the most common fungal pathogens commonly affecting broad bean leaves, causing small, dusty, dark brown spots with yellow halos on the leaves and stems,[15] which may merge to form an orange lawn on both leaf surfaces. Emergence of the disease is favored by warm, humid conditions; fungus overwinters on crop debris on the ground.[10]
Chocolate spot fungus, is also a common fungal pathogen. The fungus causes dark, chocolate-coloured spots on all parts of the plant. Chocolate spot is caused by two Botrytis fungi. Botrytis fabae is the most common cause and only affects broad beans. Botrytis cinerea can cause very similar symptoms, and this fungus also causes grey mould on a very wide range of plants, which can have a severe impact on yield.[16] Symptoms of disease can be aggressive or non-aggressive; symptoms on non-aggressive chocolate spot are small red-brown lesions on leaves of the plant which may also be present on stems and pods; under high humidity the disease moves to the aggressive stage and lesions coalesce and become covered in fluffy mycelium; large patches of tissue can become necrotic and die. Long periods of high humidity promote the switch from the non-aggressive phase to the aggressive phase; the aggressive phase of the disease favors low levels of potassium and phosphorus in the soil and overcrowded plants that limit air circulation.[10]
Powdery mildew, Erysiphe pisi, fungal infection in which yellow spots on upper surface of leaves; powdery gray-white areas which coalesce to cover entire plant; if plant is heavily infected it may appear light blue or gray in color.[10]
Fusarium root rot, Fusarium solani, fungal, stunted plant growth; yellowing, necrotic basal leaves; brown-red or black streaks on roots that coalesce as they mature; lesions may spread above the soil line. Damage caused by the emergence of the disease is worsened by warm, compacted soils, limited soil moisture and poor soil fertility.[10]
Downy mildew, Peronospora viciae, fungal, yellow-brown blotches on upper surface of leaves; angular patches of fluffy white-gray fungus on lower side of leaves; plant growth may be stunted or distorted and whole plant may die before flowering; fungus overwinters in soil and on crop debris; fungus can survive in soil for 10-15 years.[10]
Bacterial Diseases
Leaf blight, Xanthomonas campestris, syn. Xanthomonas axonopodis, a bacterium which causes water-soaked spots on leaves that enlarge and become necrotic; spots may be surrounded by a zone of yellow discoloration; lesions coalesce and give plant a burned appearance; leaves that die remain attached to plant; circular, sunken, red-brown lesion may be present on pods; pod lesions may ooze during humid conditions. Disease can be introduced by contaminates seed; bacteria overwinters in crop debris; disease emergence favored by warm temperatures; spread is greatest during humid, wet weather.[10]
Bacterial brown spot, Pseudomonas syringae, a bacterium which causes small, dark brown necrotic spots on leaves which may be surrounded by a zone of yellow tissue; water soaked spots on pods which turn brown and necrotic; pods may twist and distort in area of infection. Bacterium overwinters in crop residue; disease more severe when foliage is wet for extended periods.[10]
Root-knot nematode, Meloidogyne spp. Galls on roots which can be up to 3.3 cm (1 in) in diameter but are usually smaller; reduction in plant vigor; yellowing plants which wilt in hot weather.[10]
In mainland Europe and North Africa, the plant parasite Orobanche crenata (carnation-scented broomrape) can cause severe impacts on fields of broad beans, devastating their yields.
Health issues[edit]
Broad beans are rich in tyramine, and thus should be avoided by those taking monoamine oxidase inhibitors.[17]
Raw broad beans also contain the alkaloids vicine and convicine which can induce hemolytic anemia in patients with the hereditary condition glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency. Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) is a cytoplasmic enzyme that is distributed in all cells. G6PD catalyzes the first step in the hexose monophosphate pathway, and it produces NADPH, which is required for reactions of various biosynthetic pathways as well as for the stability of catalase and the preservation and regeneration of the reduced form of glutathione (GSH). Because catalase and glutathione (via glutathione peroxidase) are essential for the detoxification of hydrogen peroxide, the defense of cells against this compound depends ultimately and heavily on G6PD. This is especially true in red cells, which are exquisitely sensitive to oxidative damage and in which other NADPH-producing enzymes are lacking.[18]
G6PD deficiency is the most common known enzymopathy; it is estimated to affect 400 million people worldwide. The highest prevalence rates (with gene frequencies in the range of 5 to 25 percent) are found in tropical Africa, in the Middle East, in tropical and subtropical Asia, in some areas of the Mediterranean, and in Papua New Guinea.
The most common clinical manifestations are neonatal jaundice and acute hemolytic anemia. Hemolytic anemia occurs when red blood cells are destroyed faster than the body can replace them.[19] In some cases, the neonatal jaundice is severe enough to cause death or permanent neurologic damage. The acute hemolytic anemia can be triggered by a number of drugs, by infections, or by the ingestion of fava beans. These manifestations may be life threatening, especially favism in children. The detailed mechanism of hemolysis is not fully known, but it results undoubtedly from the inability of G6PD-deficient red cells to withstand the oxidative damage produced, directly or indirectly, by the triggering agents mentioned above. Red cell destruction in these acute hemolytic events is largely intravascular and therefore is associated with hemoglobinuria. Fortunately, apart from these episodes of hemolytic anemia, most G6PD-deficient individuals are entirely asymptomatic. However, a rare subset of G6PD-deficient patients has, instead, a chronic hemolytic disorder, which may be severe.The remarkable geographic correlation between the prevalence of G6PD deficiency and the past and present endemicity of Plasmodium falciparum malaria strongly suggests that the former confers resistance against the latter. The high prevalence in malaria-endemic areas of G6PD mutants that have arisen independently corroborates this notion; indeed, it constitutes an example of convergent evolution through balanced polymorphism. Clinical data further support this notion, although it is not certain whether malaria resistance is a feature of heterozygous females only, or also of hemizygous males. In vitro culture studies have shown that the growth of malaria parasites is impaired in G6PD-deficient red cells, and that G6PD-deficient parasitized red cells are phagocytosed by macrophages more effectively than G6PD normal parasitized red cells.
An estimated 400 million people have glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency.[19] This potentially fatal condition is called favism after the fava bean.[20][21] Areas of origin of the bean correspond to malarial areas. Some epidemiological and in vitro studies suggest the hemolysis resulting from favism acts as protection from malaria, because certain species of malarial protozoa, such as Plasmodium falciparum, are very sensitive to oxidative damage due to deficiency of the glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase enzyme, which would otherwise protect from oxidative damage via production of glutathione reductase.[22][18]
Broad beans are rich in L-dopa, a substance used medically in the treatment of Parkinson's disease. An Italian scientist first isolated the chemical levodopa from seedlings of the fava bean in 1910-1913, finding that the beans are a natural source of levodopa. In 1961 a demonstration was made as to the "miraculous" effect of the drug on patients with Parkinson's Disease (PD).[23] After all the basic science information came together, scientists realized levodopa isn't just an important part of a bean. It's an important part of the brain. (But don't try eating more beans because it isn't enough.)[24]
Today, the concept of DA replacement with levodopa is uncontested, with levodopa being the "gold standard" of modern drug treatment of PD.[23] But if it weren't for that bean, and the curiosity of basic scientists, we might not have all the levodopa therapies we have today.[24][25] L-dopa is also a natriuretic agent, which might help in controlling hypertension. The seed testae contain condensed tannins[26] of the proanthocyanidins type[27] that could have an inhibitory activity on enzymes.[28]
Culinary uses[edit]
Broad beans are generally eaten while still young and tender, enabling harvesting to begin as early as the middle of spring for plants started under glass or overwintered in a protected location, but even the main crop sown in early spring will be ready from mid to late summer. Horse beans, left to mature fully, are usually harvested in the late autumn, and are then eaten as a pulse. The immature pods are also cooked and eaten, and the young leaves of the plant can also be eaten, either raw or cooked as a pot herb (like spinach).
Broad beans were a major food of old Mediterranean civilizations, particularly for the Romans and Ancient Greeks.[3]
Preparing broad beans involves first removing the beans from their pods, the beans have a waxy outer coating, which you'll need to remove. Blanch them in boiling water for 30 seconds, and then transfer to an ice bath to stop the cooking process. The waxy coating will slip off.[29]
The beans can be fried, causing the skin to split open, and then salted and/or spiced to produce a savory, crunchy snack. These are popular in China, Malaysia, Colombia, Peru (habas saladas), Guatemala (habas), Mexico (habas con chile), Gilan (North of Iran) and Thailand (where their name means "open-mouth nut").
In some Arab countries, the fava bean is used for a breakfast dish called ful medames.[30]
Fava beans are common in Latin American cuisines, as well. In central Mexico, mashed fava beans are a common filling for many corn flour-based antojito snacks such as tlacoyos. In Colombia, they are most often used whole in vegetable soups. Dried and salted fava beans are a popular snack in many Latin countries.
Broad beans are widely cultivated in the Kech and Panjgur districts of Balochistan Province in Pakistan, and in the eastern province of Iran. They are called bakalaink in the Balochi language, and baghalee in Persian.

Variations by Country[edit]
In the Sichuan cuisine of China, broad beans are combined with soybeans and chili peppers to produce a spicy fermented bean paste called doubanjiang. Perhaps due to the bean's popularity in Sichuan cuisine, in addition to the regular Chinese term for "broad bean", they are also known as "Sichuan beans" (川豆 chuāndòu) in Chinese.
Fava beans (Colombia: Haba(s)) are a common food in most regions of Colombia, mostly in Bogota and Boyacá. Barley and fava bean soup is a traditional Colombian soup consisting of carrots, peas, potatoes, barley and fava beans.[33]
Lamb with peas stew, Janjetina s bižima, (often with fava beans or artichokes) is a tradional Dalmatian dish. Becoming somewhat rare in restaurants, Kozlić s bižima, is a tradtional dish made with goat kid meat cooked in a sauce with peas (biži), sometimes also with fava beans and potatoes.[34]
Fava beans (Arabic: فول fūl pronounced [fuːl]) are a common staple food in the Egyptian diet, eaten by rich and poor alike. Egyptians eat fava beans in various ways: they may be shelled and then dried, bought dried and then cooked by adding water in very low heat for several hours, etc. They are the primary ingredient in falafel. However, the most popular way of preparing them in Egypt is by taking the mashed, cooked beans and adding oil, salt and cumin to them. The dish, known as ful medames, is traditionally eaten with bread (generally at breakfast) and is considered the Egyptian national dish.[30]
Haniya told me that there are countless ways of making fūl. They vary around Egypt depending on what is available, but the basic recipe remains the same. Into a big pot, usually a special pot, a fūl-pot (qidra), narrow at the base, wide in the middle and narrow again at the top, you put the dried fava beans in to soak in water for 8 to 24 hours. Then you add the onion, tomatoes, a bit of salt and a few tablespoons of dried red lentils, which helps the color, she said. It is simmered over very low heat all night, covered so the beans don't discolor, and is usually eaten in the morning for breakfast, although Egyptians will eat it any time of the day.
Broad beans (Amharic: baqella) are one of the most popular legumes in Ethiopia. They are tightly coupled with every aspect of Ethiopian life. They are mainly used as an alternative to peas to prepare a flour called shiro, which is used to make shiro wot (a stew almost ubiquitous in Ethiopian dishes). During the fasting period in the Ethiopian Orthodox Church tradition called Tsome Filliseta, Tsome arbeå, Tsome Tahsas, and Tsome Hawaria (which are in August, end of February–April, mid-November–beginning of January and June–July), two uncooked spicy vegetable dishes are made using broad beans. The first is Hilibet, a thin, white paste of broad bean flour mixed with pieces of onion, green pepper, garlic, and other spices based on personal taste. The second is siljo, a fermented, sour, spicy thin yellow paste of broad bean flour. Both are served with other stews and injera (a pancake-like bread) during lunch and dinner.
The main differences between Ethiopian and other ful medames is that the beans are fully mashed, a little berbere is added to flavor the mix, and it is served with big rolls of white bread (not pita or injera).[35]
Baqella nifro (boiled broad beans) are eaten as a snack during some holidays and during a time of mourning. Interestingly, this tradition goes well into religious holidays, too. On the Thursday before Good Friday, in the Ethiopian Orthodox Church tradition tselote hamus (the Prayer of Thursday), people eat a different kind of nifro called gulban. Gulban is made of peeled, half beans collected and well cooked with other grains such as wheat, peas and chickpeas. This is done to mourn the crucifixion of Jesus Christ.
Boq'ullit (boiled salted broad beans embryo) is one of the most favorite snacks in the evening, the common story-telling time in north and central Ethiopia. It is particularly a favorite for the story-teller (usually a society elder), as it is delicious, and easy to chew and swallow.
Ripe broad beans are eaten by passers-by. Besides that, they are one of the gift items from a countryside relative in a period close to the Ethiopian Epiphany.
The Greek word fáva (φάβα) does not refer to broad beans, but to the yellow split pea and also to the legume Lathyrus sativus. Broad beans are known instead as koukiá (Greek: κουκιά), and are eaten in a stew combined with artichokes, while they are still fresh in their pods. Dried broad beans are eaten boiled, sometimes combined with garlic sauce (skordalia). In Crete, fresh broad beans are shelled and eaten as a companion to tsikoudia, the local alcoholic drink. Favism is quite common in Greece because of malaria endemicity in previous centuries, and people afflicted by it do not eat broad beans.
Malaria became widely recognized in Greece by the 4th century BCE, and was responsible for the decline of many of the city-state populations.[36]
In India, the northeastern state, Manipur, locally call it as "Hawai-Amubi" and is famous for its role as ingredient in Eromba, Kangsoi. In Tamil Nadu and Karnataka it is mostly available during the winter season. It is localy known as Avarekayi and people use this for preparing sambar.
Papdi is known as hyacinth beans or Indian broad beans in English, in Marathi, these beans are called as papdi or val papdi. In Gujarati, they are known as surti papdi. In hindi, called as sem ki phali or papdi.[37]
Broad beans, or "Baghalee" (Persian: باقالی) are primarily cultivated in the central and north parts of Iran. The city of Kashan has the highest production of broad beans with high quality in terms of the taste, cooking periods and color. However, broad beans have a very short season (roughly two weeks.) The season is usually in the middle of spring. When people have access to fresh beans in season, they cook them in brine and then add vinegar and Heracleum persicum depending on taste. They also make an extra amount to dry to be used year round. The dried beans can be cooked with rice, which forms one of the most famous dishes in north of Iran (Gilan) called baghalee polo (Persian: باقالی پلو) which means "rice with broad beans". In Iran broad beans are cooked, served with Golpar-origan and salt and sold on streets in the winter. This food is also available preserved in metal cans.
Broad beans with garlic, dill & eggs (Baghala Ghatogh) comes from the northern provinces of Iran, it is not a very mainstream Persian dish.[38]
In Rome, Italy, Fava beans are popular either cooked with guanciale or with globe artichokes, as side dish together with lamb or kid, or raw with Pecorino romano. Fave e Pecorino is the traditional dish for 1 May picnic.
In Sicily, Maccu is a Sicilian soup prepared with fava beans as a primary ingredient.[39]
In Apulia, broad bean purée with wild chicory is typical dish.
Judd mat Gaardebounen, or smoked collar of pork with broad beans, is the national dish of Luxembourg.[40]
They are a primary ingredient of the Maltese Kusksu, a vegetable soup primarily containing fava beans and pasta beads. They are also used in a popular appetizer called bigilla where they are served as a pureé mixed with olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, parsley and mint. It is served with bread or crackers and is the Maltese answer to hummus.
In Mexico, fava beans are often eaten in a soup called sopa de habas, meaning "fava soup." They are also eaten as a snack, in which they are fried, salted, and dried. They are either by themselves as a snack or in combination with other salted, dried beans and nuts. In the State of Hidalgo, in north central Mexico, Spanish fava beans are cooked with hierbabuena, Apple mint, to produce the region's caldo de habas, fava bean soup.[41]
In Morocco, fava beans are made into bessara, a dip sold as a street food.[42]
In Nepal, fava beans are called bakulla. They are eaten as a green vegetable when the pods are young, generally stir-fried with garlic. When dried, fava beans are eaten roasted, or mixed with other legumes, such as moong beans, chick peas, and peas, and called qwati. The mixture, soaked and germinated, is cooked as soup and consumed with rice or beaten rice on day of Raksha Bandhan. The dry and stir-fried version of qwati is called biraula. The qwati soup is believed to reinvigorate the body affected by monsoon paddy season.
In the Netherlands, they are traditionally eaten with fresh savory and some melted butter. The combination of the beans tossed with crispy fried bacon is also common. When rubbed, the velvet insides of the pods are a folk remedy against warts.
Fava beans (Peru: Haba(s)) are eaten fresh or dried as stew, toasted, boiled, roasted, stewed, soup etc. Habas are one of the essential ingredients of the famous "Pachamanca" in the Andes of Peru, and are also an additive for "Panetela", which is a homemade remedy to keep your child fed and hydrated in cases of diarrhea or stomach infection and even for cholera treatment. To make Panetela combine and roast a cup of: fava bean (habas), barley, corn, wheat, rice and / or beans without allowing it to burn; add a cup of water, a carrot cut into pieces and a pinch of salt until fully cooked; drain, add water until it reaches a liter and boil one last time. For babies only the fluid is used.
Peruvian dishes with fava beans include:
- Aji de habas
- Saltado de habas
- El chupe de habas
- Ajiaco de Papas y habas
- Pachamanca
- Guiso de habas
- Shambar (heavy soup, traditional in Trujillo)
Broad beans (Spanish: habas) are widely cultivated in Spain. Culinary uses vary among regions, but they can be used as the main pulse in a stew (Favetes, habas estofadas, michirones) or as an addition to other dishes (menestra, paella). In certain regions they can be eaten while unripe or fried and packaged as a snack.
Fava beans are one of the most widely consumed foods in Sudan. For most Sudanese they form the main dish during lunch time (fatoor), especially more so for city and urban dwellers. The beans are cooked by steadily boiling over a sustained period of time. Similar to Egypt, the cooked beans are mashed, and prepared by adding salt and pepper. For additional flavour, sesame oil is added along with a sprinkling of jibna ("feta" cheese) on top. The dish is then eaten with bread and is sometimes refereed to as ful medames.
Broad beans (Swedish: bondbönor, literally: farmer beans), which in Sweden have mainly been eaten dried, brown and cooked, were for a very long time a popular food to add to other foods as a side "filler". The idea was not that they were ever supposed to taste much good, taste was secondary at best, rather it was used to help make one feel full; they gave energy and filled you up from the sensation of hunger from small amounts. This went on up until the mid-1940s, a time of rapid urbanization when it almost disappeared from Swedish plates, and in a time of rapidly increasing expectations of food tastes and changes in food habits. Known as bondböner (famers' beans) they are something of a forgotten delicacy, and therefore rather scarce.[43]
However, lately since circa 2005 broad beans have made a comeback both as healthy near-grown produce and interest in legumes partly because of vegetarianism, healthy foods, but also a greater curiosity about food and forgotten ingredients in Sweden as well as the increased popularity of foreign, especially Arabic food, and as such in the form of (Arabic: فول مدمس fūl mudammas).
Other uses[edit]
- In ancient Greece and Rome, beans were used in voting; a white bean was used to cast a yes vote, and a black bean for no. Even today, the word koukia (κουκιά) is used unofficially, referring to the votes. Beans were used as a food for the dead, such as during the annual Lemuria festival.[3][44]
- The ancient Roman family name Fabia and the modern political term Fabian derive from this particular bean.
- The Pythagorean code prohibited the consumption or even touching of any sort of bean.
- In Ubykh culture, throwing beans on the ground and interpreting the pattern in which they fall was a common method of divination (favomancy), and the word for "bean-thrower" in that language has become a generic term for seers and soothsayers in general.
- The colloquial expression 'not worth a hill of beans' alludes to their widespread economy and association with the peasant diet.
- In Italy, broad beans are traditionally sown on November 2, All Souls Day. Small cakes made in the shape of broad beans (though not out of them) are known as fave dei morti or "beans of the dead". According to tradition, Sicily once experienced a failure of all crops other than the beans; the beans kept the population from starvation, and thanks were given to Saint Joseph. Broad beans subsequently became traditional on Saint Joseph's Day altars in many Italian communities. Some people carry a broad bean for good luck; some believe that if one carries a broad bean, one will never be without the essentials of life. In Rome, on the first of May, Roman families traditionally eat fresh fava beans with Pecorino Romano cheese during a daily excursion in the Campagna. In northern Italy, on the contrary, fava beans are traditionally fed to animals and some people, especially the elderly, might frown on human consumption. But in Liguria, a maritime region near northern Italy, fava beans are loved raw, and consumed fresh in early spring as the first product of the garden, alone or with fresh Pecorino Sardo or with local salami from Sant'Olcese. In some Central Italian regions, a once-popular and recently rediscovered fancy food is the bagiana, a soup of fresh or dried fava beans seasoned with onions and beet leaves stir-fried, before being added to the soup, in olive oil and lard (or bacon or cured ham fat).
- In Portugal and Spain a Christmas cake called bolo Rei in Portuguese and roscón de reyes in Spanish (King's cake) is baked with a fava bean inside. Whoever eats the slice containing it, is supposed to buy next year's cake.
- A similar tradition exists in France, where the fève (originally a dried bean, but often now a small china or metal trinket) is placed in the galette des rois; the person who finds it in their slice becomes the king or queen of the meal, and is often expected to serve the other guests to drink.
- Pliny claimed they acted as a laxative.
- European folklore also claims that planting beans on Good Friday or during the night brings good luck.
- Frederick E Rose (London) Ltd v William H Pim Junior & Co Ltd [1953] 2 QB 450, is an English contract law case where the two litigants had both mistaken feveroles for ordinary horse beans.
- Can be used as a green manure, due to nitrogen fixation it produces.
- In the Netherlands, roasted or fried broad beans are regarded as a local delicacy of the city of Groningen, and is locally called molleboon. Until the 1800s, the city council used mollebonen for the voting process, sometimes real beans, sometimes made of stone or clay. The word Molleboon became a nickname for the inhabitants of the city.

I am 31, so I don't exactly qualify as AMA, but I'm not a 20-something (oh how I wish!) FTM either. I was just wondering if there were many others, I mean with 4400 members, certainly I am not alone. Anyways, if that's you too, feel free to join the April 2011 & over 30 group, so we can discuss how different things are being prego in your 30's v. 20's.
Can't figure out how to post a link to the group, but if you do a group search the name of the group is April 2011 & over 30. Hope that helps!

Also set to make his first appearance for the Broncos this season is England 'A' International Rob Purdham after missing the first eighteen rounds following knee surgery, and Andrew Hart will return after a seven-week absence through injury. Tony Rea, who will be assisted by Rohan Smith - nephew of Leeds coach Tony Smith, is delighted to be heading back to Brentford: "It's a great feeling playing before your own people and I can already sense the excitement in the squad." It's a reward for a lot of hard work for the players returning from injury and they will add a timely boost to our unit." It should be a great event on Sunday. The leaders are coming to town, London supporters will get to see their own team on their home pitch, and I know there is a load of activity surrounding the game itself on the day." Rob Purdham added: "It's been a real tough battle to getback but I have always known that it would be well worth the effort. I can't wait to get out there and finally be able to help my mates." Before the game Broncos CEO Nic Cartwright will host a special London Broncos Fans' Form which will start at 1pm. All London fans are welcome to attend but must have a valid match ticket to do so. The Broncos will also donate part proceeds from match day ticket sales to Sport Relief. Simply turn upon the day wearing a red sock (similar to that worn by the team on their private parts last week) on your foot, and the club will donate a portion from every premium adult ticket bought on the day. Kick off is 3pm. Gates open at 1pm. Discounted tickets can be bought before 5pm Friday 16th July - 0871 2221657. Team as follows: Sykes, Wells, Roy, Jackson, Greenwood, O'Halloran, Moran, Moore, Budworth, Trindall, Brocklehurst, Botham, Retchless: Stringer, Highton, Stephenson, Kirkpatrick, Purdham, Hart, Bawden (three to be omitted) London Broncos Junior Academy will play Featherstone at new home venue Ruislip RUFC at 2.30 on Saturday. Directions to the ground can be found atwww.londonbroncos.co.uk In other news: As London Broncos prepare to return home to Brentford this Sunday, after six long weeks on the road, Chief Executive Nic Cartwright has today hit out at comments made during the week by leading BBC presenter John Inverdale, and rugby league journeyman, Bobby Goulding. The programme 'Any Sporting Questions' on Radio 5 Live, raised the issue of rugby league expansion, and more specifically, rugby league in London. Cartwright has no problem with broadcasters expressing opinion but he does object to the presentation of clearly inaccurate facts. The pair made comments to the effect that rugby league should be more interested in protecting the game in its northern heartlands rather than looking at expansion. Saying that the London Broncos 'experiment' has been a flop, proving that there is no market for rugby league in the capital, has certainly infuriated many London fans, and Cartwright himself. "They can say what they like as long as they are intelligent enough to back up those statements with fact." Telling people that our average crowd is 1500, that our support is only drawn from expatriate Australians, and that all our players are Australian, is a clear case of ignorance." If John cares to look at the 'facts' here they are. Our research tells us that our Australian match day audience is less than 15%, and this season of the 23 man squad, just eight are Aussies." I don't like people talking our club or the game in London down. And I particularly don't like people shooting their mouth off from a position of ignorance." If John would like to come and be our guest at Griffin Park on Sunday, it might be a good opportunity for him to see just how much hard work goes into helping our game grow outside of the heartlands." Rugby League is a cracking game and deserves a much wider audience in the UK and on an International scale, and attitudes like this certainly don't help our cause." In no way is this a criticism of the BBC which is a terrific partner for our game, but I am disappointed at the comments which were made."If John, and others who haven't been to a Broncos game this season, do turn up, here's what you can expect: Nic Cartwright will host a London Fans' Forum pre-match from 1pm. This is open to all rugby league fans in London and a valid match ticket will be needed to attend. London Broncos Junior Academy, who play against Featherstone at Ruislip on Saturday, will undertake a bucket collection for their injured teammate Matt King. The Broncos will donate part proceeds from premium adult ticket sales on the day to Sport Relief. To contribute, simply wear a red sock and show it to the turnstile staff. We are not interested in socks worn on any other part of the anatomy - for more details visit www.londonbroncos.co.uk More than 200 children who recently participated in the five week Hounslow & Ealing Summer Festival of League will be at the game. Forty budding Cowgirls will represent their respective Cheer-Dance Clubs on the pitch pre-match and at half time. For the first time we'll meet the Brook Road Broncos, with the club agreeing to open a third stand for the match. The 'I'm A League Fan...Get Me In There!' competition will be launched with one fan at the game selected to WIN the �1500 10th Birthday Party Pack. Our Half Time Heroes representing the county of Kent will strut their stuff.And last but certainly not least the gorgeous high kicking Cowgirls will dazzle those in attendance. Kick off is 3pm. Gates open at 1pm. Discounted tickets can be bought before 5pm Friday 16th July - 0871 2221657.

RUSSELL Bawden is set to make a return to the club in time to meet Leeds at Griffin Park on Sunday 18th July. It will be Bawden's third spell in London where he has already played 131 games in his two previous stints. He joined French side UTC at the close of the 2003 season where he has played 29 games under former Broncos Assistant Coach Steve Deakin, and is set to play for UTC in this Saturday's French Championship Final at Perpignan. 'Rusty' first played for London in 1996 and 1997 before joining Melbourne Storm in 1998. He chalked up 101 appearances for Melbourne before returning to London in 2002. He missed just one game in his two seasons back with London, having been an ever-present in 2003.

The club is delighted with the selection of captain Michael Worrincy, leading try scorer, Ade Adebesi, and prop forward Louis McCarthy-Scarbrook for the tour.

For years, the donated piano sat upright and unused in a corner of the nursing home's cafeteria. Now and then someone would wheel or wobble over to pound out broken notes on the broken keys, but those out-of-tune interludes were rare. Day after surrendering day, the flawed piano remained mercifully silent.
Then came a new resident, a musician in his 80s with a touch of forgetfulness named Boyd Lee Dunlop, and he could play a little. Actually, he could play a lot, his bony fingers dancing the mad dance of improvised jazz in a way that evoked a long life's all.

Maria Fuccillo and the Cavaliers host Florida State and Miami this weekend.
April 18, 2013
CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. - No. 17 Virginia concludes the regular season with home Atlantic Coast Conference matches against No. 32 Florida State and No. 10 Miami this weekend at Snyder Tennis Center.
The Cavaliers host the Seminoles on Saturday (April 20) at 11 a.m. and Hurricanes during Senior Day on Sunday (April 21) at 12 p.m.
Virginia (14-8, 7-2 ACC) and Miami (16-4, 7-2 ACC) are tied for second in the ACC with seven points each, while Florida State (12-7) is tied for seventh with four points.
The Cavaliers have won 11 of their last 13 matches and are coming off a 4-3 win at No. 19 Georgia Tech and 4-3 loss at No. 14 Clemson last Sunday.
"The Florida State and Miami matches are always two of the best we have each season," Virginia head coach Mark Guilbeausaid. "Our 4-3 win last season at Florida State propelled us to be a host in the NCAA Tournament and put us in good position for the ACC championship. It's the same scenario this year."
Freshman Julia Elbaba (Oyster Bay, N.Y.) is ranked No. 12 in the latest ITA singles rankings, while freshman Stephanie Nauta (Galveston, Texas) is ranked No. 77. Elbaba, Nauta and senior co-captain Erin Vierra (Norwell, Mass.) lead the team with 13 dual singles wins each. Elbaba is 8-1 in ACC play, while junior Caryssa Peretz(Cherry Hill, N.J.) is unbeaten at 8-0.
Elbaba and senior Hana Tomljanovic (Boca Raton, Fla.) are ranked No. 89 in the latest ITA doubles rankings with a 11-2 dual mark. Elbaba and Tomljanovic have reeled off eight straight wins at No. 2 doubles. Vierra and Nauta are 7-6 and senior Maria Fuccillo (Rockville, Md.) and junior Li Xi(Kunming, China) have added a 7-1 mark at No. 3 doubles.
Seniors Fuccillo, Tomljanovic and Vierra will be honored prior to the match against Miami on Sunday. The trio will graduate as the all-time winningest class in UVa women's tennis history and participate in the program's fifth consecutive NCAA Tournament in May.
"Maria, Hana and Erin have meant a ton to our program," Guilbeau said. "I couldn't be more proud of them and their accomplishments over the last four seasons. They all have grown during their time at UVa. The new student-athletes that come into the program have an opportunity to better because of the example that Maria, Hana and Erin have set."
Florida State's Daneika Borthwick is ranked No. 57 in singles, while Francesca Sagarelli is ranked No. 108 and Amy Sargeant is ranked No. 110.
Miami's singles lineup features No. 53 Stephanie Wagner, No. 85 Kelsey Laurente and No. 112 Clementina Riobueno. Wagner and Lina Lileikite are ranked No. 39 in doubles and Laurente and Brittany Dubins are ranked No. 84.
Virginia is 8-21 all-time against Florida State and 3-13 all-time against Miami. The Cavaliers won, 4-3, at Florida State and lost, 6-1, at Miami last season.
Live scoring for both matches will be available at VirginiaSports.com.

Final Fantasy III
Review by 6xdandangp
"Both the best of the series and the very best game that the SNES has to offer."
Out of all the Final Fantasy games I've played, this one is definitely my favorite. From its amazing story to its interactive and unique gameplay, you'll be playing this game for hours on end, and you'll love it all! Before you read this review, I'm would HIGHLY recommend this game to anyone who plays RPG's.
Story 10/10
The story starts off with two Biggs, Wedge, and a girl named Terra. Biggs and Wedge disappear after the first boss, and you'll end up using Terra and Locke for the beginning. It doesn't start off as exciting as you may think, but it quickly picks up and will leave you trying to beat the game as quickly as possible to see the ending. At least, that's what happened with me, this story is the greatest of its time.
Gameplay 10/10
This game is fun, it's much more enjoyable than most other FF games I've played, you can customize many of your characters to be EXACTLY what you want it to be, how cool is that? Even if your character is weaker in a certain stat, you can boost them up with espers. You'll be spending a lot of time trying to train your characters to become stronger, then your characters would breeze past most bosses and you'll be happy that you trained. It's not a very hard game, but you can make almost every character the way you want it to be, that's amazing for an SNES game.
Graphics 10/10
The graphics are flawless for the Super Nintendo. Everything is as detailed as 2D can get, battle backgrounds are somewhat 3D too. You'll be stunned at the graphical quality that this game offers. This version doesn't have much of a graphical difference from the PlayStation and the Gameboy Advance versions, though.
Sound 10/10
The music quality was some of the best that the SNES could have. The GBA does somewhat weaken the quality, though, there's not as many instruments and some tunes sound a little funny, but we're talking about the Super Nintendo here. The quality is as good as this system can get, and you'll be enjoying every song it has. I just can't give the sound less than a perfect score.
Replay value 9.5/10
You can play it for as long as you want, or as short as you want, it doesn't matter. You'll be loving every minute of it, anywhere from grinding your characters to learn new magics or trying to progress through the story. You'll also be exploring places you've already explored in hopes to find new things, and believe me, you will find new things in places you've explored before.
Overall 9.9/10
This game is undoubtedly my favorite Final Fantasy game, I am also quite sure that this is my favorite RPG in general. The story is amazing even for this age, the gameplay is interactive and unique, and the graphics are the best that 2D can get. Also, like other Final Fantasy games, don't rent this, it won't be worth it. This game definitely deserves the score it got, and you'd have to hate RPGs to not like this game.

text: All right, this is getting completely insane. As I said before, it has been a long while since I have picked up a camera. In fact I just decided to open up the bag, the last camera I used was in. This would be the 4x5 field camera I used up the lower Dolores river 2 years ago. Everything is where it is supposed to be....except the quickload holder. Ahhhhhh CRAP! This one I am sure is gone. Probably fell out of the bag or something. Now I can't even find one on ebay. Any of you EBAY junkies help me out by pointing me to one?

sarah On The Go! takes LaLa Land

This is a brief account of my trip to Los Angeles last weekend. Some memories and moments for photos were beyond what I could produce for you guys. I knew I wanted to blog this trip, but I realized after standing under the Hollywood sign, overlooking LA, that pictures wouldn't give you what you wanted… More sarah On The Go! takes LaLa Land
