Iranians on twitter (after the so called election)
froggie replied to froggie's topic in The Rabbit Hole
By CHRISTOPHER RHOADS in New York and LORETTA CHAO in Beijing "The Iranian regime has developed, with the assistance of European telecommunications companies, one of the world's most sophisticated mechanisms for controlling and censoring the Internet, allowing it to examine the content of individual online communications on a massive scale." ...more on site http://online.wsj.com/article/SB1245626687...icle-outset-box -

not sure if this is real or not, but interesting ballot fraud video g6nPCO4i3PA Translations: Guy 1 (0:30): Finished?? Oh god, he wasn't lucky, no votes for Mohsen Rezayi (the other conservative candidate). Bad luck. inaudible Guy 2: Write down these names, Guy 1 (1:50): Their national identify codes are all wrong. Guy 2: It is ok Guy 1: Ok just tell me the rest Guy 2: Write down these names and put something for the family name like Guy 1: Mohamadi Guy 2: Fathers name (with an ideferent tone) Alimohammad. Starts counting random numbers as the birth certificate number http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g6nPCO4i3PA -
Josh: we are talking next to eachother and not about the same thing. selection can be done in various ways, you can select on size, on strength, disease resistance, aroma's, nutrient content. What i meant by 'natural selection' is to pick the traits you ant it to continue on. I don't want all plants to have high yield but also high disease resistance, aroma and nutrients, but by the natural cultivation way (selection) and not by adding genes of other animals into it and so. that is what i mean by natural and selection. ecological, biodynamic and other forms of farming, companion planting, fukuoka farming, natural cultivation of traits (which can and will only improve each time. that's why that is important, and not the other things. if the first tomato was the size of a berry, look at it now. if the grains that are cultivated now are high in gluten and more allergenic then that's not great. (old grain types are not allergenic) sorry i have too much information in my mind to write it all out, i can't write that fast or organize it that well, and it's making me nervous there is just too much info all pointing into one direction from various 'sources', and this info is also pointing out on what not to do and what do do best. Ok. i have found a way to sum up about it: It's all about the plant's health and strength.

sykkelpump: what do you like about it? darkmind: the page is quite hard to read through -
yes, i understand there may be a huge gap between marketing and reality. but i'll still try to find the truth it's really good to add that note of information though, so thanks for adding that. now for some more findings ... : (while still keeping in mind the previous warnings) the high and low absorbability of vitamin B12 (hydroxocobalamin versus cyanocobalamin) edit: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydroxocobalamin

I'm not even sure of how to put this, because i can't even imagine anyone saying even 1 good thing about any other methods when they truely know and understand the following: cultivating with natural selection towards more resistance and bigger yields is the only way to make it better in terms of everything, all of the rest is worse. It's really that simple, that black and white, as day and night, there is not even 1 'if' about it.

Cool thinking. Thanks for sharing.

unfreakinbelievable, amazing "all foreign satellite tv news has been stopped in Iran - they think a blinded man cannot see in the darkness" "Iran tv has said almost nothing about Sea of Green exept that some 'thugs' attacked police" "Yahoo, Gmail and Hotmail is now completely out of service in Iran - #Iranelection" What does that mean -for any- country in the world actually? That -any- government is or would be capable of doing this? What solutions can we offer ourselves for protection against these kind of actions by entities? How can everyone increase everyone's autonomy in any regard? I would like to debate that .... (quote source: http://twitter.com/persiankiwi)

ehrr .... dude (!) there are many reasons why it's doing what it's doing. what you are saying sounds more complicated than useful (no offense intended) in my opinion the biggest reason why it's called a crisis is because the fall is much deeper than it would have been if everything was allowed to move up and down 'naturally' (as opposed to find out tricks and stuffins to keep it going up and up and up and up.) (i guess some people thought there might be a way to make it go that way and not fall ..... but if that was true, then they have failed it.) i know it's slightly more complicated (intrinsic) than that. but the basic idea.... ...actually it's not a lot more complicated (intrinsic) than that. basically all it would need is slightly more elaboration and more expensive words (the pun is highly and almost sarcastically intended, if it wasn't done so intentionally (and perhaps misconceptually)), if you will.

It shows that your body can handle it, if you let it get used to it. imo Whether it be from artificial electrical sockets or from natural chi (the latter being more complex in learning and execution, and study-intensive, and so on, but also more useful i think) peace.

Actually, the red algae Gigartina and Dumontiaceae are said to be the best. I would love to cultivate these myself, in an aquarium orso.

imo there is a very big difference between being inspirational and being idolized. the first one is good, the second one isn't very good. though both are possible outcomes when you think someone is very good at something.

Don't know too much about tail bones, except they can be good for balance and for example sprinters also look different in anatomy than those who do not sprint. and the way that it can shape your back, etcetera. I have heard something interesting about the atlas bone though: http://www.consciousmedianetwork.com/members/mhane.htm

Those hamburgers don't even look tasty. And i'm sure the taste is probably not that great either. It could be okay to use good quality butter to fry good quality beef with the right % of fat (not overly lean, and certainly not too fat, with the right kind of grind) if one wanted to. For taste it can be good. But that meat looks horrible, it would be a waste to use it on that no matter how you may want to approach it. (except probably in this kind of a format) using big, ripe and flavorful tomatoes in good thickness slices. what's that poor excuse of a tomato slice that's on there? Red onion? Come on ..... That's just gimmicky too .... Red onions are usually way too harsh for something like a hamburger. Better would be a kind of sweet and juicy onion. Nevermind the lettuce .... There isn't any on there, not that it has to be, but if, then probably something crispy while juicy and not too strong in aroma. Etcetera.

i've made a section for it on the off topic section (just 39 viewers so far there though, so i thought of pointing a hinter to there. if that's ok if you want to reply try to do it there i gues ..... ) http://www.thetaobums.com/index.php?act=ST...t=0#entry126196

Those are great reasons and ways in my opinion. And also money, trade and exchange are in itself good (particularly the last 2) it's some systems that make it very unequal and corrupt and shape it into artificial and even undeserved inferiority and superiority, with many many problems growing out of them/it. Keeping it simple and right would be nice, and good things for all (including dreams that you may see fulfulled and uncorrupted, but also unlimted freedom and good human arts and morals and behaviour and ... even society. In the end, it all has to improve. If we see ourselves years from now it could be the same as seeing things now compared to some regions in the dark ages for example. The big issue is imo: Who is slowing these good things down and for what reason and who is helping it get up to speed in any way. edit: Another big problem to solve is that some individuals in certain places try to sell something bad as good (''religions'', politics of war, etc.)

i have a painful throat, but not from a cold, but i have tension in my throat that feels very unpleasent. does anyone know how i can go about fixing this? i don't like normal medicine and since it's tension related i don't think they can do anything anyway. also massage or so looks to be too tricky since it would be very hard to reach and since the throat can be delicate anyway. i am thinking maybe a hot soup (but not burning) any wise suggestions? thank you edit: i think i'm going to make a hot soup with horseradish, ginger, coriander, lemongrass, soysauce, lemon, chives. does anyone know where i can get lotus root online? other tips still welcome.

sore throat from tension, not from inflammation
froggie replied to froggie's topic in General Discussion
Thank you for your replies to my question/quasi-rant I just want to say that this is a very good advice. I'm trying to do that and actually am doing it (some say there is a difference between trying to do something and doing something (well)) I think however that ''trying'' can also be a part of preparing, planning and trying things to enhance them eventually to a better degree. I just want to say also that sometimes it's good to hear general ideas said or explained back to you, which may give a slightly different approach or view and also a good feeling of (positive) kinship (or however one may like or want to call it). So thank you. By the way, it is indeed so that you can do many things with many resources, one is not limited, one is only limited by one's knowledge and understanding and how one thinks of themselves and one's contacts and surroundings and ideas and opportunities and viewpoints. So that is very important, for anyone equally as it is also for oneself. Truely, froggie -
