Oblomov is the best known novel by Russian writer Ivan Goncharov, first published in 1859. Oblomov is also the central character of the novel, often seen as the ultimate incarnation of the superfluous man, a symbolic character in 19th-century Russian literature. Oblomov was compared to Shakespeare's Hamlet as answering "No!" to the question "To be or not to be?" Oblomov is a young, generous nobleman who seems incapable of making important decisions or undertaking any significant actions. Throughout the novel he rarely leaves his room or bed and famously fails to leave his bed well into the novel. The book was considered a satire of Russian nobility whose social and economic function was increasingly in question in mid-19th century Russia.

"This is NOT Vyacheslav Gerasimov!"
The narration is not by Vyacheslav Gerasimov, perhaps the best narrator of classic books, but some woman who speaks in monotone and just destroys the whole thing. This is deceptive.
The story is obviously good, but the woman does the opposive of making it come to life.
HIS performances are the very best.
"Одна из лучших книг"
great story, moving, real classic. Gripping story, heart wrenching drama. This is how every book should be written.
final breakup of Oblomov and Olga

yeah. my sisters (or at least one of them) do that all the time. I cannot take video games seriously for the life of me. Once I was playing Windwaker, I was going through the lava place, and my sisters and brother were watching me. I kept dying, but everytime I did I just started laughing, and the more I died the more I laughed. Meanwhile, my siblings are yelling at me to hurry up and beat the level, then my older sister started cursing everytime I died. >_>
There was a part of a level in a Kirby game that NOBODY could get past. It took maybe 10 minutes to get past, you were supposed to jump up on these falling things that were hard to land on while others were falling and if they landed on you, you had to go all the way back to the bottom.
Ah, I hate those hard levels, except for me, there is one of those on every game xD. I never seem to be able to finish any games. The only games I seem to remember finishing atm is two. And my sister shared the file on one. =_=
Do you have a DS? My favorite handheld thingy was GameboyColor
I just got a DS last Christmas. Is the DSI where you can use color in the Pixelchat? I looooove pixelchat. Its the closest thing to a tablet I might ever have
Siiiiiiiiigh! I love the old pokemon and harvest moon games! I'm trying to find my old pokemon game, but so far no luck. My room is a pigpen, but we're having a '40 days of cleaning' for lent, so maybe I'll find it someday!
Mehehehhe. We have 'box' where my sister and I are supposed to 'keep' our games 'safe' and 'unlost."
I hate loosing stuff. :I
Oh har har har. I just realized I spelled it wrong. Maybe I was just trying to say it with a Cuban accent like Rikki Riccardo.
Haha! In a weird sort of way. I guess I have to tie my knots really tight or I'll run a rampant rampage.
Too bad tying knots is another thing I'm bad at. ;_;

The variety star known as "Our Gracie", who had travelled across Europe entertaining the troops - often at the request of the War Office - had thrown her citizenship into doubt by marrying Italian film director Monty Banks - real name Mario Bianchi - in March 1940. In short, she had married a citizen from a country that was then one of Britain's enemies.
It came back to haunt her as she travelled across Europe, often doing charity work, after the war. For example, permission to cross into France from her home in Capri could be blocked, as Italians - unlike Britons - then needed a visa. An April 1945 Foreign Office document, released by the National Archives, read: "Prima facie, Miss Fields has, by her marriage to a husband who was at the time an Italian, lost British nationality and acquired Italian nationality ... She ought therefore to be treated as an alien."
But behind the scenes there was head-scratching in Whitehall over whether the star's application for renaturalisation should be successful, and the Foreign Office issued her with a British passport in 1941, renewed in 1943 and 1945, which was used until May 1946.
Her lawyer, Fresco Westcent, told the Home Office she was "desirous and anxious" to return to Britain for public appearances pencilled in for March 1947.
It is not clear what final official position was taken.

This mounted device improves the relationship between road-users of every sort
With an increasing percentage of the world?s population seeking to live more eco-friendly, many are tucking their car keys away in exchange for two wheels and transit on a bicycle.
But while carbon emissions can be drastically reduced by choosing to walk, run, or bike your commute, there are still risks for cyclists that need to be addressed.
Share The Road?reports that accident rates per kilometer are 26 to 48 times higher for bikes than for automobiles, and in bike-car accidents, the motorists are usually at fault.
For this reason, an innovation?recently conceived by Azerbaijani designer Elnur Babayev?can't come soon enough.?Babayev designed a mounted device that projects signals on cyclists? backs, improving the relationship between road-users of every sort. With this device, the Cyclee will display different illuminated signs depending on the rider?s actions.
The projected images can be modified on mobile devices and transferred to the projector, which then displays the appropriate signal on the cyclists back.
The Cyclee Interprets The Rider?s Actions And Projects The Corresponding Image
The Device Will Be Mountable On Most Bikes
And A Mobile Application Will Allow it To Show Custom Images
Many countries are working to improve road safety for cyclists by designating specific lanes for bikers, but this invention has potential to dramatically improve road communication, in effect reducing bike-car accidents.

My Nonprofit Reviews
Review for Atlanta Harm Reduction Coalition Inc., Atlanta, GA, USA
I cannot stress enough how terrible this organization has become. To be truthful, I haven't had anything to do with them since Terry left as the director. And that's not because I didn't try, but rather because my efforts were not welcome.
After having Terry and Mona come to my house to educate me about proper injection methods, I started to do outreach to other Gay/Lesbians in Atlanta that I knew were injecting meth. In addition to referring dozens of people to the AHRC when Terry was running it, I also collected and distributed needles through some of the on-line hookup sites.
When Terry left, I had collected around 1200 needles. They were all being stored in sharps containers and bleach, but they were none the less a huge liability for me to have sitting around my apartment. When I finally got ahold of someone at AHRC, I was informed that they had changed office locations and to my surprise, they were about 5 houses away from me. I was told that Terry was replaced and the woman with whom I spoke indicated that she was the new director and things were changing.
I explained, in great detail, how I had been providing outreach to a population not presently focused on by AHRC and explained that I had 1200 needles that I needed to exchange. I explained that I didn't need 1200 in return, but rather a box of 100 or two would be great for a month. I was willing to meet her any day of the week at any time.
She flat refused. With the nastiest and most self-righteous tone I have ever heard, she told me that if I wanted to do an exchange, I had to go to one of their street exchanges that may or may not happen every other Saturday. The problem was the locations were in a part of town that is patently not safe. Especially for gay white males. I tried and tried for over 3 months to get her to help me...to refer me to another organization that could take the needles, to refer me to the location that they drop off their exchanges.
Nothing worked. She refused to help me or the 500+ men/women that I was providing outreach for. And she was literally 500 feet from my house. It was obvious to me and to anyone who read our email conversation which I will make public, that her motivation was race-related and that she was not going to make ANY special considerations for anyone...especially not some white boy.
Terry Morris was an absolute angel and the AHRC Saved my life and was doing a great job of helping hundreds of gays/lesbians to be safe when using speed. All of that stopped and all outreach to the gay/lesbian community stopped. I have contacted the national headquarters repeatedly with no response.
More Feedback
I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...
Please see my review above
If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...
I would, without hesitation, fire the director that replaced Terry Morris and rehire her. Terry's vision and compassion saved many lives, whereas the new director could care less about harm reduction. Even if they couldn't get Terry back, the director that replaced her should be terminated.
How would you describe the help you got from this organization?
How likely are you to recommend this organization to a friend?
How do you feel you were treated by this organization?
How did you find this group?
What, if any, change in your life has this group encouraged?
This is unfair to ask because the organization under different leadership saved my life and inspired me to help others in my position. The new leadership, however, eliminated all of that.
When was your last experience with this nonprofit?

A touch of animal magic
Former Free and Bad Company singer Paul Rodgers is bringing the Memphis musicians who played on his latest album, the Royal Sessions Live, to the Royal Albert Hall in London to play a concert in aid of the Aberdeenshire animal sanctuary that he and his wife have adopted.
Rodgers travelled to Memphis to realise a lifelong ambition of recording with the house band of legendary soul label Hi Records and he has persuaded these musicians, who seldom work outside the studio, to accompany him to the UK for a cause that's close to his heart.
They'll play the famous London venue on November 3 with all proceeds going to the Willows Animal Sanctuary and Animal Assisted Therapy Unit near Fraserburgh.

Panetta insisted that the best course of action is continued economic and diplomatic pressure on the country. "We have common cause here" with Israel, Panetta said. "And the better approach is for us to work together."
Meanwhile, reported CNN, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) confirmed on January 9 that Iran has begun uranium enrichment at a facility in the northern part of the country. "The IAEA can confirm that Iran has started the production of uranium enriched up to 20 percent" at Fordo, in the mountains of Iran's Qom province, said an IAEA spokesman. The spokesman assured that "all nuclear material in the facility remains under the agency's containment and surveillance."
According to CNN, Iran has said it is operating 3,000 centrifuges in the project, with another facility in Natanz said to have 8,000 centrifuges enriching uranium. Iran has maintained that its efforts are purely peaceful, with one Iranian newspaper explaining that in order "to provide medical assistance to 800,000 cancer patients, Iran needs to enrich uranium up to 20% to be able to feed Tehran's [research] reactor that produces the needed radio isotopes."
Even as Panetta appeared to downplay Iran's nuclear progress, State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland called the latest news of the country's uranium enrichment program "obviously a problem." While experts explain that weapons-grade uranium must be enriched to about 90 percent, Nuland nonetheless called Iran's 20-percent enrichment effort "a further escalation of their ongoing violations with regard to their nuclear obligations, including the legally binding U.N. Security Council resolution."
Nuland insisted that "there is no possible reason for" enriching uranium to 20 percent, "if you're talking about a peaceful program. So it generally tends to indicate that you are enriching to a level that takes you to a different kind of nuclear program."
She called on Iranian officials to "suspend enrichment activities, cooperate fully with the IAEA, and immediately comply with all Security Council and IAEA board of governors' resolutions."
In line with Panetta's indication of diplomatic pressure and economic sanctions, White House spokesman Jay Carney said that the Obama administration is "putting a great deal of pressure on Iran broadly because of its rogue behavior … the fact that it won't live up to its international obligations with regards to its nuclear program." He insisted that the "actions that we're taking in concert with our international partners have had a significant impact on Iran, on the Iranian economy."
Carney recalled sanctions within the past week that "had the impact of causing the Iranian currency to drop dramatically. So we work with our partners, as well as unilaterally, to increase that pressure."
Two of the top Republican presidential candidates have used the specter of a possible Iran weapons program to pose as strong on defense. "If we re-elect Barack Obama, Iran will have a nuclear weapon," declared Mitt Romney. "And if you elect Mitt Romney, Iran will not have a nuclear weapon."
Similarly, noted the Associated Press, "Rick Santorum has said that the U.S. should plan a military strike against Iran's nuclear facilities and 'say to them that if you do not open up those facilities and close them down, we will close them down for you.'"
By contrast, while Ron Paul agrees with Panetta that Iran is nowhere close to producing a nuclear bomb, he has vehemently opposed the sanctions and "diplomatic pressure" being pursued by the Obama administration, arguing that it will do little more than strengthen Iran's resolve to produce nuclear weapons, as well as place the U.S. on a collision course for war with the Middle Eastern country.
As reported by Warren Mass in The New American back in April 2010, Paul voiced his opposition to Congress' Comprehensive Iran Sanctions, Accountability and Divestment Act (H.R. 2194), referring to the legislation as little more than a disguised "push for war on Iran."
In debate on the bill, Paul said that efforts against Iran, just then gathering steam, had all the feel of the pressure that pushed the U.S. into conflict in Iraq: "… the same falsehoods and distortions used to push the United States into a disastrous and unnecessary one trillion dollar war on Iraq are being trotted out again to lead us to what will likely be an even more disastrous and costly war on Iran. The parallels are astonishing."
Mass noted that back in 2006, Congressman Paul wrote in his "Texas Straight Talk" column that the types of sanctions now being pursued against Iran "are acts of aggression" that could well lead to war. "Sanctions increase poverty and misery among the very poorest inhabitants of targeted nations, and they breed tremendous resentment against those imposing them."
That resentment, along with a strong measure of resolve, was on display in a January 8 op-ed in the Tehran Times. While insisting — no doubt dishonestly — that producing nuclear weapons "has no place in Iran's comprehensive defensive doctrine," the editorial nonetheless confirmed that "Iran regards access to nuclear energy as its inalienable right" and declared that "it will never take a step backward in its endeavors to attain nuclear self-sufficiency."
As for the sanctions, the editorial insists that they "have never had any palpable impact on the daily life of Iranians. Not one Iranian believes that the country would have had a better economic situation if the West had not imposed sanctions."
What the sanctions do achieve, the editorial warned, is to intensify "anti-U.S. sentiments across the globe," while making "the Iranian government more determined to continue on the path of resistance in order to defend the rights of Iranian citizens."

If a handful of Jeff Mangum performances, the Ultramagnetic MCs, Portishead, Shellac, and plenty more artists weren't enough to convince you that the Portishead-curated All Tomorrow's Parties: I'll Be Your Mirror is going to be dope, then maybe the newest round of announcements from the festival will.
First up, it's been confirmed that Jeff Mangum will play an extra show on Sunday. Mangum agreed to the extra show as long as music critics the world over agree to stop referring to him as reclusive. ATP has also announced that a whole new super-special type of ticket to the festival has been announced to accomodate the newly announced show: what used to be called "Three Day Jeff Mangum Passes" have now been broken down into "Three Day Jeff Mangum Sunday Passes" and "Three Day Jeff Mangum Friday Passes," depending on which one of the days you want to see Jeff, although I recommend Friday because Mangum is always worn out by the end of the weekend and usually just spends Sunday reading the paper and napping.
If you're not a Mangum fan and couldn't give a shit about reclusive musicians, ATP has also beefed up the artists playing on Friday and Saturday of the show. Thinking Fellers Union Local 282 (making their return to live performances), Factory Floor, Awesome Tapes From Africa DJs, as well as comedic acts Reggie Watts, Hannibal Buress, and Rory Scovel have been added to Friday. Saturday sees the additions of Marc Ribot's Ceramic Dog and Colin Stetson, while Sunday is still waiting for more confirmations but they've gotta be better announcements than Jeff Mangum if they're taking this long to reveal them. Perhaps it's Jimi Hendrix and Frank Zappa risen from the grave to perform their collaborative album Zappin' the Drix?

Growing vegetables
Find out the best gardening books and reduce your food bills!
Grow an abundance of fresh organic vegetables, without all the problems and at a low cost!
Wouldn't it be wonderful if growing tomatoes, potatoes, and all kind of veggies could be done with minimal work and cost, and no chemicals?
The good news is that, despite what you can read or hear everywhere, growing vegetables this way is absolutely possible. But for this to happen, you will have to forget about horticulture, and turn to ecology. You see, the problem with horticulture is that it is problem-focused. Have you noticed that gardening books are filled with ways to fix problems? People seem to love creating problems where problems don't need to exist. Well, it doesn't have to be that way!
The study of natural ecosystems reveals everything we need to know about growing vegetables and food. After all, Mother Nature has been doing it this way for millions of years.
From the results many people are getting using this philosophy, I can say, with absolute certainty, that this is the way we will be producing food in the future. It's just commonsense. Why wouldn't the world want to use a method that produces many times more food with a fraction of the effort? The biggest challenge is convincing traditional gardeners. Like many industries, the gardening industry gets stuck in doing things a certain way. And for many dedicated veterans, it can actually be quite threatening when an embarrassingly simple solution comes along.And that's exactly what this gardening philosophy is - EMBARRASSINGLY SIMPLE. This natural and simple method has been developed by Jonathan White, a respected environmental scientist and horticulturalist. Growing vegetables seems so easy when you see his own garden giving incredible yields. Check for yourself in the picture below:
You must be wondering: that must represent a ton of work! The fact is, all the people who have followed his method have been able to set up their garden with only 8 hours of work per year! And this is done without using the harmful chemicals which are so commonly used by traditional gardeners.
Let him explain in his own words:
Jonathan has decided to share his method and his deep knowledge of organic gardening in what is probably one of the best gardening books ever written! And if you prefer to watch videos and directly listen to his advice, the package also includes high quality videos showing in great details how to set up your garden.
And the best of all is that this incredibly valuable package is now really affordable, thanks to the current special offer. I can't say how long he will be willing to maintain this bargain price, but it may end very soon! With a one-time fee of only $39.97 for the complete package (book+DVD quality videos), do not miss this opportunity. Growing vegetables has never been easier!

Composting - how to put it in practice
First, decide if you want to make your compost in a dedicated bin, or just make a compost pile in a corner of your garden. Bins have the advantage of keeping the materials in a confined space, in addition to being more esthetic for most people. Some bins have also built-in systems to turn the compost and allow for a better circulation of air. If you don't want to spend on a bin - which may be a bit expensive for some models - you can just make a pile. In this case, it should be at least one square meter large, and you should be careful putting large chunks of material - such as branches - at the base of the pile to allow for air circulation and evacuation of excess moisture. Air circulation is crucial for the success of your composting, as it is air which fuels the aerobic microorganisms responsible for the breakdown process in composting. Excess moisture is bad also for the same reason, and will promote undesirable anaerobic organisms.
The compost pile should then be made of food scraps (except all animal scraps such as meat, bone or fat), vegetable peels and waste, egg shells, rotten fruits and vegetables, grass clippings and leaves, coffee and tea grounds, shredded papers, and manure (from herbivorous animals) if you have access to it. The important thing is to not have large clumps of a single type of material, but rather a succession of layers with different materials. If a piece is too large, try to reduce it in smaller pieces, for instance by shredding your papers. Then, the best is to alternate "hot" and "cold" materials. Hot materials are basically fresh materials - kitchen scraps, fresh vegetable peels, fresh grass clippings... - while cold materials have already been transformed in some way - like papers, dry grass clippings, etc.
Your compost pile should start to warm up after 24 hours, as a result of microorganism activity. Remember that this is an "aerobic" process, fueled by oxygen. Your compost pile should therefore be aerated, and not look like a pile of compacted garbage and moisture like what you have in usual trash bins. The heating will increase activity, until temperature stabilizes. This is the gauge of the process, and if it starts cooling down, it means that something is wrong. Check previous recommendations to find the problem.
Once a week, rotate the pile in order to homogenize the content and ensure that all parts are being broken down. The compost is ready when all the content is nearly homogenous and no longer identifiable. It usually takes between 4 and 8 weeks, depending on the quality of the initial material and on the conditions. Then you can use it freely for growing vegetables in your garden, which should eliminate the need for any chemical fertilizer.

Composting - video example
As you can see it is really simple. For the ones who were afraid to transform their backyard into a trash bin, you see that a compost pile is completely different from a usual garbage pile, which is something we do not want. In the next post, I will explain in more details what to put in your compost and how. Stay tuned!

Composting - what is it and what are the benefits?
We should have a completely different way of looking at compost. Composting is a way of building valuable nutrients that will, one day, feed you and your family. Growing vegetables using compost is the best way to create a whole food production system. Creating compost allows to collect nutrients in one form (waste), and to turn them into another form (food).
In a sense, it is a way of keeping the nutrients within your property so that you can capitalize on them. By doing this, you are able to use the nutrients again, so that you don't have to buy them for a second time. Surely, that's going to save you money. It may seem strange to think of nutrients in this way when we can't even physically see them. However, all organic materials contain nutrients. The goal is to get those nutrients out of the form they are in and into a form that is useful to you.
To achieve this, the size of your vegetable garden should be determined by how much compost you can create, and not merely by the amount of space you have in your backyard. Growing vegetables in a rich, high yielding garden requires some sort of soil conditioning plan, and the best thing for your soil is a generous layer of good compost on the surface a few times per year.
Most gardening books will praise compost, but often as an adjunct and not as part of a complete self-sustainable system. But the truth is that if you can create your own compost from the organic waste that you generate in your everyday life, then you can have a vegetable garden that is self-sustainable. Once it is set up, it will never need nutrients in the form of store-bought fertilizers. You will have established a flow of nutrients, and your nutrient-store will grow bigger and bigger, year after year. Applying compost to your garden will have a very positive effect on your soil structure and fertility. You will be able to grow vegetables which contain all the essential nutrients in the correct proportions, giving your body the vitamins and minerals it needs to function at its best.
Composting is very easy once you make it part of your everyday life. A small container on your kitchen bench to collect scraps and a daily trip to the compost bin is all it takes. It's a small effort for huge rewards. The golden rule in making compost is never to have large clumps of a single type of material. Thin layers of hot and cold materials work best. Cold materials include leaves, shredded newspaper and dried grass clippings. Hot materials include fresh grass clippings, manures, weeds, discarded soft plants and kitchen scraps.
If you make composting part of you daily routine, along with an effective method of growing vegetables, you can literally save thousands of dollars per year. This is possible simply because you won't have to keep buying nutrients over and over. You will buy them once, hold onto them and then convert them into useful forms again and again. It's that simple!

Gardening is not only about growing vegetables!
I love sitting on my patio with a good drink - usually a good wine - and just enjoying the landscape in front of me. This is my cosy place, I have furnished it nicely (go to furniture patio to see some pictures), and I spend a lot of time here. Here is another of my favorites: metal patio furniture.
This is the good thing with ecological gardening: you also have more time to enjoy your garden!

Organic Food
As years progress, they lead to life threatening diseases and even cancer a reason why they are "cumulative poisons". In fact studies over the last few years have proved that as polluting chemicals have built up in the environment they have even invaded the most natural and safest of all sources of nourishment-mother's milk. More than 350 man made pollutants have been identified in the breast milk of women in UK. Pesticide residues, poison mother's milk and have adverse effects on the baby's immune system.
The plight is that besides bans on harmful pesticides, they are still used extensively by farmers and agriculturists; consumed by us unnoticed. India is the largest manufacturer of chemical pesticides among South Asian and African nations. A number of research studies have found higher instances of brain cancer, leukemia and birth defects in children with early exposure to pesticides, according to National Resources Defence Council.
A study conducted by the Harvard School of Public Health in Boston, discovered a 70% increase in the risk of developing Parkinson's disease for people exposed to even low levels of pesticides. WHO estimates over a million pesticide-poisoning cases and 20, 000 deaths every year globally. The indiscriminate use of fertilisers and plant protective chemicals to increase yields and save crops from pets and diseases, no doubt, has escalated food production, created food security but has also resulted in a number of health hazards. Further, it has deteriorated the agro-ecosystem badly. This situation has spelled the need to switch over to organic farming to cultivate valuable crops for healthy and safer foods.
Organic food is grown without pesticides and chemical inputs. Organic is not a "product" rather it is a "process". Organic farming significantly reduces external inputs by avoiding the use of chemo-synthetic fertilisers, pesticides and pharmaceuticals. Instead it works with nature and natural systems to increase both agricultural yields and disease resistance. It builds healthy soil and prevents chemicals from entering into earth and water. It helps in protecting top soil, water and air.

The Problem with Traditional Vegetable Gardening
Then we are told to plant green manure crops, add inorganic fertilizers and chemicals to adjust imbalanced soils. It takes a lot of time, dedication and a year-round commitment to grow your own food the traditional way. But does growing vegetables really need to be that difficult?
Let me ask you this question. Does a forest need to think how to grow? Does its soil need to be turned every season? Does someone come along every so often and plant seeds or take pH tests? Does it get weeded or sprayed with toxic chemicals? Of course not!
However this is the way most gardeners do. For instance, let's take a look at a common traditional gardening practice and I will show you how a single problem can escalate into a whole host of problems.
Imagine a traditional vegetable garden, planted with rows of various vegetables. There are fairly large bare patches between the vegetables. To a traditional gardener, a bare patch is just a bare patch. But to an ecologist, a bare patch is an empty niche space. An empty niche space is simply an invitation for new life forms to take up residency. That's what a weed is in ecological terms - a niche space filler. Weeds are very good colonizing plants. If they weren't, they wouldn't be called weeds.
Now back to our story. Weeds will grow in the empty niche spaces. Quite often there are too many weeds to pick out individually, so the traditional gardener uses a hoe to turn them into the soil. I have read in many gardening books, even organic gardening books, that your hoe is your best friend. So the message we are getting is that using a hoe is the solution to a problem.
However, I would like to show you how using a hoe actually creates a new set of problems. Firstly, turning soil excites weed seeds, creating a new explosion of weeds. And secondly, turning soil upsets the soil ecology. The top layer of soil is generally dry and structureless. By turning it, you are placing deeper structured soil on the surface and putting the structureless soil underneath. Over time, the band of structureless soil widens. Structureless soil has far less moisture holding capacity, so the garden now needs more water to keep the plants alive.
Fortunately, there is a solution! We must use a technique that combines pest ecology, plant ecology, soil ecology and crop management into a method that addresses the causes of these problems.
Jonathan White, an environmental scientist has been testing an ecologically-based method of growing vegetables and food for several years. This method uses zero tillage, zero chemicals, has minimal weeds and requires a fraction of the physical attention (when compared to traditional vegetable gardening). It also produces several times more, per given area, and provides food every single day of the year.
I have no doubt that this is the way we will be growing vegetables and food in the future. It's just commonsense. Why wouldn't we use a method that produces many times more food with a fraction of the effort? I know it will take a little while to convince people that growing vegetables is actually very instinctual and straightforward, but with persistence and proper explanation, people will embrace this method.
Why? Because sanity always prevails…

All photos and story by SURFING Magazine Photo Editor Peter Taras
[portfolio_slideshow size=large]
The evening of July 23rd marked the 8th annual Follow The Light Awards in Memory of Larry "Flame" Moore. Larry was Photo Editor for Surfing Magazine for over 30 years, until he tragically passed away from brain cancer in 2005. It was a great night remembering the wonderful life of Larry. Stories were told, beers were drank and old friends reconnected. It brought a crowd consisting of some of the world's best surf photographers including Zak Noyle, Todd Glaser, Corey Wilson, Morgan Maassen and Jerimiah Klien. The night was hosted by Aaron Chang, who questioned the five finalist about the what, why and how in their photography. Each finalist impressively showed zero stage fright. At the end of the night, the Follow The Light grant was given to Trevor Moran for best his overall slideshow. It seems like each year the slideshows get better and better as this award cements its reputation for being the best thing that could happen to an aspiring surf photographer.
Here's how I judged the five finalists. How would you judge them? To view the finalists' portfolios, click here.
1: Trevor Moran: Best overall photography. Took the most risk with looks and vision. Most well rounded portfolio of work.
2. Seth de Roulet: A very, very close second. Best slideshow production.
3. Domenic Mosquiera: Best water shots out of all the finalists.
4: Mark McInnis: Strongest lineup photography.
5: Paul Green: Great usage of light. At 17-years-old, making the top 5 is pretty amazing.

April 19th – There's enough inequality for everyone! Post-crash America gets inequality! The internet gets inequality! Ukraine gets inequality! Your bitter, blind, broke, gap-toothed radio host Chuck Mertz wonders if that's why he often feels "less than" more or less all the time.
Podcast: Play in new window | Download
The wealth gap between America's rich and poor might be big enough to sink a county. We're doing our best to find out. David Cay Johnston has been talking about that gap for so long, you'd think he'd have run out of words, but he's found a wealth of inequality to explore in the book Divided: The Perils of Our Growing Inequality, a collection of writings on America's deepening wealth disparity featuring past This is Hell! guests Joseph Stiglitz, Kim Bobo, Barbara Ehrenreich and, of course, David Cay Johnston himself. He talks with Chuck about how government policies create inequality, why every president since Reagan has been a Reaganite, and how the founding fathers saw this all coming.
David Cay Johnston is an investigative journalist and the winner of a 2001 Pulitzer Prize for uncovering loopholes and inequities in the U.S. tax code. David is the president of the 4,900-member Investigative Reporters & Editors, and teaches tax and regulatory law at Syracuse University Law School.
The internet is starting to look at lot like the real world. The more of our lives we live online, the more we submit to corporate consolidation, invasive advertising and the whims of a narrow subset of wealthy overlords. The last time Astra Taylor was on, she taught Chuck how to pronounce "Slavoj Žižek," but now she's working on something way harder – reclaiming the internet. She lays out the stakes and the way forward in her new book The People's Platform: Taking Back Power and Culture in the Digital Age. Astra calls in talk about how traditional power continues in digital spaces, why working for free is still getting someone paid, and how people around the world are taking the internet back for actual, real life people.
Astra Taylor is a writer and documentary filmmaker. Her films include the feature documentary Zizek!, a biography of Slavoj Zizek, and Examined Life, a series of excursions with contemporary thinkers. Astra's writing has appeared in The Nation, Salon, Monthly Review, The Baffler, and other publications.
Interview Transcript via AntiDote.
We're so uncertain about the facts in Ukraine, that maybe we should be even more uncertain about our opinions. That wouldn't be very American of us, which in this case is a good thing, so we called Volodymyr Ishchenko, live in Kiev. His recent writing at the Guardian, including Maidan or anti-Maidan? The Ukraine situation requires more nuance and Ukraine has not experienced a genuine revolution, merely a change of elites, is certain about one thing – the ruling class stands to gain from whatever happens next. Volodymyr updates us on the situation in Ukraine, compares and contrasts Ukraine's two recent uprisings, and explains why overthrowing a government isn't always a revolutionary act.
Volodymyr Ishchenko is a sociologist studying social protests in Ukraine. He is deputy director of the Centre for Society Research in Kiev, an editor of Commons: Journal for Social Criticism, and a lecturer in the National University of Kyiv-Mohyla Academy.
[Volodymyr's phone dropped just as we were asking him the Question from Hell!]
Interview Transcript via AntiDote.
Brazil is busy preparing for the World Cup, from newly flush construction workers to real estate speculators and military police. Critics of the run-up to the World Cup have been busy too, and while there's a lot of problematic neoliberal policies at work, Brian Mier is pretty sure a lot of the criticism is more about destabilizing a left-leaning government than defending the public good. Brian has new pieces up at Vice and NACLA. He updates us on pre-Cup Brazilian society, from workers to politicians, and explains why the US government (and media) don't have a lot of room to criticize how the country handles its domestic affairs.
Brian Mier grew up on the North Side of Chicago and has lived in Brazil since 1999. He is currently a policy analyst at the Centro de Direitos Economicos e Sociais. His writing has appeared in Lumpen and Vice, and he has a novel coming out in 2014. Brian podcasts at Progressive Brazil.
There wasn't anything mysterious about Michael Ruppert's suicide, but Elvis DeMorrow devotes most of his Konspiracy Korner to mourning the writer and investigative reporter, who was a big influence on Elvis. About as much as Dimebag Darrell. That those are his two biggest influences shouldn't be too shocking to listeners of This is Hell!. Here's that YouTube clip of Ruppert vs Deutch he recommends you watch. We recommend you watch it too. Elvis also finds time to tell the story of how his solo acoustic black metal act got banned from the Heartland in Chicago, and updates us on the FBI's investigation of the FBI's handling of Ibragim Todashev's killing.
Elvis deMorrow advocates ecstatic agnosticism when confronting the mostly hellish daily grind of contemporary USA. He infrequently explores the weirder fringes of the collective dumb-conscious and provides reductionist summaries for tolerant listeners via the Konspiracy Korner. An undisciplined but readable archive is maintained at Dead Metaphors. You may find him at an open microphone near you, performing as Black Stool.
Before Jeff Dorchen wasted his time on BuzzFeed, he wasted his time watching an interview about the racial makeup of the cast of a Hollywood movie, reading the user comments on an article about white privilege and considering his own belligerent A-hole magnetism. Then the quiz. Which turned out to be a waste of time, because oppression isn't quantifiable. But then how else would a waste of time BuzzFeed quiz work?
According to his contacts on LinkedIn, Jeff Dorchen can do just about anything. He's a visual artist, songwriter/musician, actor, essayist, poet, playwright and screenwriter.

St Thomas School Stops Teaching Arabic
Mangaluru: In order to avoid more consequences and hassles from the saffron group, the school management of St Thomas Aided Higher Primary School at Bondanthila has decided to stop conducting Arabic classes effective Saturday 6 August. The Arabic classes were suppose to be conducted this morning (Saturday) from 9 am -10 am, prior to the school hours of 10 am-4 pm.
Speaking to Team Mangalorean over the phone, Rev Fr Robert Crasta-the Correspondent of the School, and also the Parish Priest of St Antony's Church-Fermai (The school is managed by this Church) said, " Yesterday, Friday evening around 3.30 pm, about 24 members of the Church Parish Council , along with few old-students of the school and dozen of village dignitaries met at the school premises to discuss about the ongoing issues pertaining to teaching of Arabic Classes at the school, after the members of Sri Rama Sene had barged into the school campus demanding to stop teaching of Arabic language"
"After discussing about various issues and in order to prevent any more problems, we all decided to stop teaching Arabic immediately. It was also decided to stop conducting Karate classes also immediately. All these decisions were taken after getting the opinions from the parents, village dignitaries, parish council members and school management. I thank everyone who stood by us and supported us during the past few days" added Fr Crasta.

The Nimitz-class aircraft carrier John C. Stennis will visit North Island on Monday as it wraps up a long deployment to the western Pacific, the Navy says. The carrier will arrive with the San Diego-based crusier Mobile Bay, which made up part of the Stennis Strike Group. The arrival time of the ships has not been announced, but they're expected to reach San Diego Bay in the morning. The Stennis will be in San Diego for a short period of time before continuing on to its homeport, Naval Base Kitsap in Bremerton, Washington. It's possible that the two San Diego-based carriers, Carl Vinson and Ronald Reagan, will be in port at the same time as Stennis.
The visit by Stennis also marks the end of deployment for the Lemoore-based Carrier Air Wing 9, which the Navy says has been composed of nine squadrons: "Strike Fighter Squadron (VFA) 41 "Black Aces," VFA-14 "Tophatters," VFA-97 "Warhawks,"" VFA-192 "World Famous Golden Dragons," Electronic Attack Squadron (VAQ) 133 "Wizards," Carrier Airborne Early Warning Squadron (VAW) 112 "The Golden Hawks," Fleet Logistics Support Squadron (VRC) 30 "Providers," Helicopter Sea Combat Squadron (HSC) 8 "Eightballers," and Helicopter Maritime Strike Squadron (HSM) 71 "Raptors."

I found this review very helpful because...I own a Adria 502up 2003 for 4 seasons. it has a fixed bed, 4 berth. Its a real beaut & we love it. Very solid well built van. We were going to trade for a new Adria with an Island bed but dealers in Ireland say they have no interest in my 2003 model & would not trade, so where do you go when it's time to update??
<br/>I would love any feedback on this from any dealer who is interested for 2010 model. I'm afraid its back to Swift for my next van as I owned one previously

Injuries and Recovery
Hey guys
Wasnt sure where to post this but i figured here would be good. Im sure alot of you guys have had injuries as well. I know i have mentioned mine before. My backs been acting up again and im getting frustrated. I was really hitting everything hard and went from a sad 32%bf to 22% bf. Everything was going pretty good until i got an epidural injection in my lumbar spine. Now i have had to take the past 4 months off and watch my hard work disappear.
So basically just wondering how you guys deal with this? any advice? when my backs good i get so excited that i jump back in the gym and wind up out again. I dunno just frustrated that i cant get in there and hit everything like i want to.
anybody have any similar experience?
i forget...but what have you done for rehab on your back?
For rehab i have worked with three physical therapists, accupuncture, chiropractor, massages, epidural shots. Currently i just do my physical therapy exercises. I am currently working with three doctors and a physical therapist. As far as whats known, i have 8 herniated discs, annular tears, and sciatic nerve damage.
If I can't train I just watch Konstantinovs deadlift videos on youtube and I feel a little stronger. :)
Just do what you can do...focus on where you can improve and use that to motivate you. Whether it's just doing curls, grip work, rows, calves, or whatever...
Hope you can get back at it soon.
Thanks ross. Yea usually when i watch videos it makes me want to get out there and do it!
But yea i have been doing what i can. I have been trying to swim a little now that it is warm enough. Just feel like a wuss sometimes when i go in and do crappy lifts or stationary stuff.
what are your rehab exercises?
are you in anterior pelvic tilt?
Yes i am in anterior pevlic tilt. however, when my back goes out my hips shift so that my right hip is at least an inch higher than my left hip. So when i stand "straight" it looks like my shoulders go left and my hips go right. I dont remember if theres a name for that.
As far as exercises, they really havent given me any structured ones. They told me to stand with my back against the wall and try to make my low back touch the wall (to fill the gap)...if that makes sense. Im supposed to repeat that as many times as i can. They have also given me some stuff on stability balls to build up my core. Some resistance band work with OH presses, flys, and other various movements so i feel like im "working out". But i try to do as many core exercises as i can. It is hard because core work is the one thing that typically aggrivates my back the most. I also do supermans. That is all i can think of at the moment.
don't do supermans....that's just extending from the lumbar spine...bad mojo.
stretch your hip flexors...look up some dead bug exercises and double leg lowering...which are kind of like your wall exercise...they should be easy to find on the net.
overhead work is great...just make sure to squeeze your butt and brace your abs while you're doing it. planks are great too. make sure you squeeze butt and brace abs while doing them. one thing you should keep in mind all day long is not moving your lumbar spine :) learn to move from the hips and not the low back.
the beginning of my journal has a decent amount of rehab/corrective exercise type stuff you could look at.
Thanks Pity. yea i do dead bugs. Planks hurt but i think that if i just do them for short periods of time that eventually i will be able to build up. I will def check out your section. I am just trying to do what i can for now to keep myself motivated and trying not to push myself back into it like i always do.
I have had epidural injections for herniated disks as well. Did not stop me from lifting. However, I went real light and did lifts I knew would not screw me up while rehbing. This kept me in the gym at least and doing some real light stuff for high reps at least kept me in shape until I got better. You can also gague yourself for increases and other movement. In other words, go to the gym and even if it's a sissy workout do it. Might spend some time just doing the girly machines for a bit but keep it light, take it slow and you will be good. And you will keep your sanity.

Support from Management
There is a complete void of management, managerial tasks are disributed but not assigned as a position. Leading to disunity and incredibly rapid turnover.
Small business where you must rely on your coworkers as they are your support system.
Level of Autonomy
Lots of autonomy is available within parameters, expect sometimes weekly changes to protocols and procedures.
Nonexistent and deferred. The owner/manager prefers to avoid the office, never had a review in 18 months but has systematic (3-6 month $.25-.50) raises.

The Archdiocese of Quebec is expecting over 50,000 people to attend ongoing celebrations for the recent canonization of Canadian saint, Br. André Bessette.
On Oct. 17, Pope Benedict XVI canonized the beloved Holy Cross religious, Br. Andre, known throughout the world for his tireless service to Quebec's poor.
After the canonization Mass at St. Joseph's Oratory last week, an icon of the saint was blessed and waits to be installed in a new chapel for Br. Andre.
From Oct. 29-31, large scale celebrations will be held during the "Rendez-vous saint frère Andre."
On Saturday, 26 buses will transport 1,500 pilgrims to a commemorative Mass at the Olympic Stadium in Montreal.
Jasmin Lemieux-Lefebvre, Communications Director of the Archdiocese of Quebec, told CNA that more than 40,000 people are expected to attend the event, which will feature performances from violinist Alexandre Da Costa and Quebec pop singer Chantal Pary.
The Mass, presided over by Cardinal Jean-Claude Cardinal Turcotte of Montreal, will be attended by the premiers of Canada and Quebec, Prime Minister Stephen Harper and Minister Jean Charest, as well as many of Canada's Catholic bishops.
The gathering at the Olympic stadium will be broadcast live by Salt + Light Television.
On Sunday Oct. 31, pilgrims will process with the icon of the new saint to Br. André's first small chapel, where it will be installed.
The Oratory of St. Joseph announced that the celebrations will continue into the New Year with a tour of Br. André's relics, starting in January.

Union Leader: Obama talks about ethics during Manchester visit
Democratic Presidential candidate Barack Obama yesterday promised to launch "the most sweeping ethics reform in history" on his first day as President.
Invoking Teddy Roosevelt's fight to end the Gilded Age more than a century ago, the Illinois senator told about 150 supporters, "It's time to renew a people's politics in this country to ensure that the hopes and concerns of average Americans speak louder in Washington than the hallway whispers of high-priced lobbyists."
Obama delivered what his campaign billed as a "major policy speech" to invited guests at the New Hampshire Community Technical College at Manchester.
Obama, whose campaign does not accept direct contributions from lobbyists, promised to "close the revolving door that has allowed people to use their administration job as a stepping stone to a further their lobbying careers."
Obama said, as President, that he would ban any former member of his administration from lobbying the administration for the rest of his term in office, his campaign said.
Obama speech came as his campaign has tried to reinforce his "clean-government" image despite controversy in his home state.
His campaign confirmed last week that he wrote to public officials on behalf of a housing project proposed by donor and indicted Chicago developer Antonin Rezko. The campaign said Obama supported the project nine years ago to help the community and not as a favor. Obama has also given to charities about $30,000 in contributions from Rezko and some associates during Obama's Illinois campaigns.
Obama said he would act promptly on executive branch ethics reform with moves that would not require new laws. He promised, for instance, to ban any member of his administration from working on regulations or contracts directly related to a former employer for two years.
"When I am President," he said, "I will make it absolutely clear that working in an Obama administration is not about serving your former employer, your future employer or your bank account," he said. "It's about serving your country."
Obama said he would invoke, by executive order, an "absolute gift ban," forbidding members of his administration from taking gifts from lobbyists "so that no registered lobbyist can curry favor and build relationships with member of my administration based on how much they can spend.''
He said he would issue an executive order asking all new federal employees to sign a form stating they were not offered the job solely on the basis of political affiliation or contributions. The executive order would also require employees who do the hiring to "certify" that they would not take political affiliation into account.

text: Police Investigating Woman Killed In Highland By James Stanley July 21, 2012 10:48 AM Share on Facebook Share on Twitter A woman was shot and killed in Shreveport's Highland neighborhood last night and authorities are working at this hour to identify and apprehend the person responsible for her death. At approximately 10:40 p.m. on July 20, 2012, Shreveport Police patrol officers were dispatched to a home in the 300 block of Boulevard Street relative to a shooting. Upon arrival, patrolmen discovered an adult female victim suffering from at least one gunshot wound to the upper body. She was subsequently transported to LSUHSC by the Shreveport Fire Department where she was later pronounced deceased. The victim's name is not being released immediately pending official notification of her family. Detectives responded to the scene of the crime and, upon further investigation, learned the victim and a man reported to be her husband arrived at a residence there on Boulevard Street to find a known male suspect standing in the driveway. According to preliminary information gathered by investigators, the woman's husband and this male suspect engaged in a physical confrontation during which the suspect pulled out a handgun and fired at least one shot, striking the victim. The gunman then fled in a vehicle. At this time authorities are following up on witness statements and evidence recovered at the scene in an ongoing effort to positively identify the killer and they are asking anyone with any information regarding this homicide to contact Shreveport-Caddo Parish Crime Stoppers at 318-673-7373 or www.lockemup.org Filed Under: shooting Category: Crime News | Shreveport/Bossier City News Share on Facebook Share on Twitter More Leave a comment Send to a friend!

: Hi my teenage son has been diagnosed with this--does anyone know of a diet that might possiblely help him out? He isn't overweight just trying to find safe food that does not trigger this. Thanks For Any Suggestions!
i have had this for ages. it can be a problem, but can be held in check (believe it or not) by a high-fiber/low fat diet. Do not skip meals. Try to not let sleep schedules get thrown off by much. Try to exercise regularly (as this helps to keep the bowels functioning normally). And, i personally have found that whenever i eat too much sugar it sets it off.
i know this just sounds like a normal recipe for living, but when followed even somewhat faithfully, can cut down on frequency dramatically.

ATLANTIC CITY - Maddie Peterson hoped for some bigger waves at Saturday's Surfing America Prime Series East contest on Revel Beach.
"I try to really show people that there are good waves here because no one thinks that there are waves here," the 14-year-old surfer from Wildwood Crest said with a laugh. "But every time people come here, there are no waves. But we'll show them (eventually)."
Saturday's waves were good enough, though, as dozens of youth surfers from along the East Coast competed in a qualifier for the USA Championships.
"(The waves) are small but fun," Surfing America executive director Greg Cruse said. "They're surfable. You can definitely determine who the better surfer is on these waves. It's not epic, but it's definitely good for a surf contest. It can get really good here this time of year, so it's not the best conditions that you can have here, but it's fine."
The event was originally scheduled to continue today, but Cruse said the wave forecast was not favorable so they finished the contest on Saturday.
Peterson finished second in the girls under-16 and under-18 categories (Complete results on B7).
This is the second year for the event in Atlantic City. Last year it was next to The Pier at Caesars.
Surfing America holds three Prime Series East events each season, with the top 50 percent of competitors qualifying for the USA Championships based on their two best scores. Surfers qualify for the Prime Series events through regional contests sanctioned by the National Scholastic Surfing Association and Atlantic Surfing Federation.
At the USA Championships, which will be in Lower Trestles, Calif., next June, surfers can make the PacSun USA Surf team. Peterson became the first New Jersey resident ever to make the team when she finished fourth at last season's USA Championships this past summer.
Saturday was the first Prime Series event of the 2012-13 season, and in her first heat Peterson earned 10 points - a six and a four.
"I think maybe some of her local knowledge might have paid off," said Ryan Simmons, the PacSun USA Surf Team coach.
Peterson is home-schooled as she travels to various events around the country, so sleeping in her own bed this weekend was a treat.
"All my friends (from other states) are like, 'Where are you staying?' " she said. "I'm like, 'I'm staying at home.' It's actually really nice because I never get to stay here and have a (major) contest."
Prime Series events have pro-style computer scoring with judges from the Association of Surfing Professionals. At most events, they set up scaffolding on the beach, but the Garden Pier provided the perfect elevation for the judges Saturday. Simmons provided play-by-play over the loudspeakers.
"It's different (from smaller events)," said Salters McClary, of Pawley's Island, S.C., whose 13-year-old daughter, Emory, competed. "The way they do the scoring and everything, they just do a super job."
Ten-year-old Rachel Presti of Melbourne Beach, Fla., competes almost every weekend. Her 8-year-old sister, Audrey, watched from underneath a towel to stay warm on the chilly Saturday morning. Their mother, Miriam, took pictures of the action. And for Rachel's father, Tony, it was an opportunity for family and friends to see his daughter surf - he is from Elmwood Park, Bergen County, but moved to Florida about 20 years ago.
"It's kind of nice because everybody keeps seeing her online, but they've never seen her surf in person, so they were all, like, stoked to come down and watch her surf in person," Tony Presti said.
While the Presti family was at last year's Atlantic City event, 10-year-old Tommy Coleman of Vero Beach, Fla., was there for the first time. His grandfather, Jim Anderson, said he was enjoying the city.
"I was impressed with the Boardwalk," Anderson said. "I've never been up here before."
He likely will have a chance to come back. Cruse, the Surfing America executive director, said he expects not only for Atlantic City to become an annual stop for the Prime Series, but also for a stand-up paddleboard contest to be added next year.
"I love the venue," Cruse said. "It's easy to get into. It's central to a lot of our surfers that generally have to travel to Florida to surf in competitions, the major ones. It's family friendly. There are lots of hotels, places to eat, things to do. So if you're going to travel to a surf contest, it's nice that mom and dad can go to the casino or go out to a nice dinner or what have you.
"It's just a perfect venue. It's great."

On Jaime Moreno's red card:
It's disappointing. Very disappointing I'm disappointed for him. I've heard of what happened, I've heard it wasn't much. And it changed the course of the game. And at that point, you know, it becomes kind of a different type of game. You know, it's not really fun from that point on. You know, the first half was good, the second half wasn't.
On whether or not he saw the play that resulted in the red cards:
I didn't see anything. It's exhausting, you know, with these guys, it's exhausting. It just takes everything out of you, with the way they deal with these games.
On the officiating:
I didn't understand why they would have the same referee crew for our game again two weeks later after what went down, but you know, whoever made those rules, made that decision, and I think tonight you see why they shouldn't do that. But, you know, in the end, regardless of the referee, we still have issues. It wasn't their fault tonight. It was our fault and we fouled up two plays again. We gotta live with it. Every play counts. This league is getting better. It's a hell of a goal from the kid. I give Wondolowski a lot of credit. The guys had a great year and he's very opportunistic and he's a big part of why they're in the playoffs. So he did a great job on the goal. The other one, we missed.
On being sent off:
Basically I was punched and I pushed him back and [Hernandez] headbutted me. I don't know what the linesman saw, but there is no respect from these people – nothing. I would like him to show my what I did, but I got sent off and I didn't even retaliate. I don't know what they saw.
On the altercation:
Yeah, that was it. I was pushed and headbutted to the ground.
On playing with ten men:
Obviously going down to ten men was drawback for us. Now we had no one to play into. We had one guy up top, and that doesn't play to our style right now. That said, the guys gave everything like they have all season, we just couldn't make it work.
On controlling possession:
I don't think they really touched the ball in the first half. We dominated possession, we just fell asleep on our marks, and a guy [Wondolowski] that has been scoring goals all year converted his chance.
On the first goal:
Honestly, we just fell asleep. We were not aware of what was going on around us, and we let the ball bounce in the box, and give [Wondolowski] credit, he put the ball in a very tough spot. I'm the first person that if I thought I should have it to hold my hands up, but I don't think I really had a chance. He put that ball in the corner and hit it with a lot of pace.
On the second goal:
On the second goal, I have to put more on it with my punch, but I put it in the best spot I could have off to the side. It was a weird ball. It took a little deflection on the way in, but saying that I just have to be better.
On the Earthquakes' defending:
We did a good job defending against a team that was desperate, desperately trying to score. So I'm very pleased with our performance.
On adjusting after the two red cards:
We had kind of a makeshift-ish team at times. We had to move Bobby [Convey] back. In the second half we moved Scotty [Sealy] to right-side midfield which looked better. … I thought D.C. did a good job of exposing us to be honest. Without a ton of room, close chances, they had a lot of efforts around the goal that could have went in. I thought they deserved a goal before the half, but you know, we stole it a bit with the goal right at half time. I think that when we got into halftime we had a good talk, and we went to our 4-4-1. I thought we were very good in the second half. I thought we moved the ball well, broke up their plays and nearly had a couple more so I was happy with the performance.
On the two red cards:
I thought it was obviously a difficult start for both teams when there's a double red card like that. It's probably the first time I've ever had that happen in a game. So it kind of slowed the game down a little bit. But other than that, in those games, it's kind of whoever scores first.
On the Earthquakes' improvements as a squad:
We've added good players. We added a few last year, a few this year. We haven't had many injuries. We just have a team work ethic here. Everybody plays for each other, everyone wants to win. We have no individuals. This is a team that I think John [Doyle] and Frank [Yallop] have been trying to build.

Are there any interactions with medications?
Interaction Rating: Moderate Be cautious with this combination.
Talk with your health provider.
Stevia might have an effect like a water pill or "diuretic." Taking stevia might decrease how well the body gets rid of lithium. In theory, this could increase how much lithium is in the body and result in serious side effects. Talk with your healthcare provider before using this product if you are taking lithium. Your lithium dose might need to be changed.
Medications for diabetes (Antidiabetes drugs)
Interaction Rating: Minor Be cautious with this combination.
Talk with your health provider.
Some research shows that stevia might decrease blood sugar in people with type 2 diabetes. In theory, stevia might cause an interaction with diabetes medications resulting in blood sugar levels going too low; however, not all research has found that stevia lowers blood sugar. Therefore, it is not clear if this potential interaction is a big concern. Until more is known, monitor your blood sugar closely if you take stevia. The dose of your diabetes medication might need to be changed.
Some medications used for diabetes include glimepiride (Amaryl), glyburide (DiaBeta, Glynase PresTab, Micronase), insulin, pioglitazone (Actos), rosiglitazone (Avandia), chlorpropamide (Diabinese), glipizide (Glucotrol), tolbutamide (Orinase), and others.
Medications for high blood pressure (Antihypertensive drugs)
Interaction Rating: Minor Be cautious with this combination.
Talk with your health provider.
Some research shows that stevia might decrease blood pressure. In theory, taking stevia along with medications used for lowering high blood pressure might cause your blood pressure to go too low. However, some research shows that stevia does not affect blood pressure. Therefore, it's not known if this potential interaction is a big concern.
Some medications for high blood pressure include captopril (Capoten), enalapril (Vasotec), losartan (Cozaar), valsartan (Diovan), diltiazem (Cardizem), Amlodipine (Norvasc), hydrochlorothiazide (HydroDiuril), furosemide (Lasix), and many others.
Dosing considerations for Stevia.The appropriate dose of stevia depends on several factors such as the user's age, health, and several other conditions. At this time there is not enough scientific information to determine an appropriate range of doses for stevia. Keep in mind that natural products are not always necessarily safe and dosages can be important. Be sure to follow relevant directions on product labels and consult your pharmacist or physician or other healthcare professional before using.
Report Problems to the Food and Drug Administration

Image upload issues – Size reported as 0x0
When I upload any image of any size to my wordpress installation the image uploads fine, but the size is reported as 0x0 and has only one option of inserting it as a full sized image!
Further inspection of this issue has lead me to believe that it lays with wordpress not inserting the correct (if any) meta data for the attachment into the database.
As you can see in the image below, the meta data is present and this image shows all options of inserting the image in the post at all sizes specified in the WordPress media settings panel.
But as you can clearly see from the image below, when the meta data is missing it shows you can't post the image at any size except full which is stated as 0x0px – Clearly something is wrong!
Many people have had and are still having this issue since 2.5. There are quite a few forum threads relating to it with not a single word from anyone from WordPress.
Several tickets have been submitted to the WordPress Trac system with the issues going unresolved. This is a major problem and many people have reported it, yet nothing seems to have been done.

If any solution exists to this problem, please let me know, I have been searching for weeks now to no avail. When I talk about solutions, I do not mean using plugins to "regenerate thumbnails"! Yes I know this works, but it does not solve the problem as its only a temporary fix. Plus it needs to regenerate the images every time you upload a new image.
Side note :
I have tried a completely new installation of WordPress with and with out plugins on a completely different database. I have uploaded and re-uploaded the WordPress files also.
