LMAO, My nicca, you're always bitter. SL got you to lose your focus. Don't be Mad....get some money poor man.

These southerns continue to be bitter even during Ramadan. Take a break and make dua for the people of Somalia.

^^ You're too focused on their moves. Pay them no mind...

Congrats homie

Do you buy orange juice at the store? If you do, I’m sure you’re careful to buy the kind that’s 100% juice and not made from concentrate. After all, that’s the healthier kind, right? The more natural kind? The kind without any additives? The kind that’s sold in the refrigerator section so it must be almost as good as fresh-squeezed orange juice? If I’m describing you, then you’re either going to hate me or love me by the time you’re done reading this post. The truth is, that orange juice you feel so good about buying is probably none of those things. You’ve been making assumptions based on logic. The food industry follows its own logic because of the economies of scale. What works for you in your kitchen when making a glass or two of juice simply won’t work when trying to process thousands upon thousands of gallons of the stuff. Haven’t you ever wondered why every glass of Tropicana Pure Premium orange juice tastes the same, no matter where in the world you buy it or what time of year you’re drinking it in? Or maybe your brand of choice is Minute Maid or Simply Orange or Florida’s Natural. Either way, I can ask the same question. Why is the taste and flavor so consistent? Why is it that the Minute Maid never tastes like the Tropicana, but always tastes like it’s own unique beverage? Generally speaking, beverages that taste consistently the same follow recipes. They’re things like Coca Cola or Pepsi or a Starbucks Frappuccino. When you make orange juice at home, each batch tastes a little different depending on the oranges you made it from. I hope you’re hearing warning bells in your head right about now. The reason your store bought orange juice is so consistently flavorful has more to do with chemistry than nature. Making OJ should be pretty simple. Pick oranges. Squeeze them. Put the juice in a carton and voilà! But actually, there is an important stage in between that is an open secret in the OJ industry. After the oranges are squeezed, the juice is stored in giant holding tanks and, critically, the oxygen is removed from them. That essentially allows the liquid to keep (for up to a year) without spoiling– but that liquid that we think of as orange juice tastes nothing like the Tropicana OJ that comes out of the carton. (source) In fact, it’s quite flavorless. So, the industry uses “flavor packs” to re-flavor the de-oxygenated orange juice: When the juice is stripped of oxygen it is also stripped of flavor providing chemicals. Juice companies therefore hire flavor and fragrance companies, the same ones that formulate perfumes for Dior and Calvin Klein, to engineer flavor packs to add back to the juice to make it taste fresh. Flavor packs aren’t listed as an ingredient on the label because technically they are derived from orange essence and oil. Yet those in the industry will tell you that the flavor packs, whether made for reconstituted or pasteurized orange juice, resemble nothing found in nature. The packs added to juice earmarked for the North American market tend to contain high amounts of ethyl butyrate, a chemical in the fragrance of fresh squeezed orange juice that, juice companies have discovered, Americans favor. Mexicans and Brazilians have a different palate. Flavor packs fabricated for juice geared to these markets therefore highlight different chemicals, the decanals say, or terpene compounds such as valencine. The formulas vary to give a brand’s trademark taste. If you’re discerning you may have noticed Minute Maid has a candy like orange flavor. That’s largely due to the flavor pack Coca-Cola has chosen for it. Some companies have even been known to request a flavor pack that mimics the taste of a popular competitor, creating a “hall of mirrors” of flavor packs. Despite the multiple interpretations of a freshly squeezed orange on the market, most flavor packs have a shared source of inspiration: a Florida Valencia orange in spring. (source) Why aren’t these flavor packs listed as ingredients? Good question! As with all industrial foods, it’s because of our convoluted labeling laws. You see, these “flavor packs are made from orange by-products — even though these ‘by-products’ are so chemically manipulated that they hardly qualify as ‘by-products’ any more.” (source) Since they’re made from by-products that originated in oranges, they can be added to the orange juice without being considered an “ingredient,” despite the fact that they are chemically altered. So, what should you do about it? First off, I must ask: Why are you drinking juice?? Juice removed from the fruit is just concentrated fructose without any of the naturally-occurring fiber, pectin, and other goodies that make eating a whole fruit good for you. Did you know, for example, that it takes 6-8 medium sized apples to make just 1 cup of apple juice? You probably wouldn’t be able to eat 6-8 medium apples in a single setting. (I know I can barely eat one!) But you can casually throw back a cup of apple juice, and you would probably be willing to return for seconds. That’s why fruit juice is dangerous. It’s far too easy to consume far too much sugar. So, my first piece of advice is to get out of the juice habit altogether. It’s expensive, and it’s not worth it. My second piece of advice is to only drink juices that you make yourself, and preferably ones that you’ve turned into a healthy, probiotic beverage (like this naturally-fermented lemonade my own family enjoys). Sally Fallon Morrell’s Nourishing Traditions cookbook has several lacto-fermented juice coolers that are pleasant, albeit expensive. (I especially like the Grape Cooler, Raspberry Drink, and Ginger Beer.) Want to make juicing easier? See here for where to buy juicers and Vitamix blenders. And finally, opt out of the industrial food system as much as you can. If you learn anything at all from this post, it should be that you never know what’s in your food unless you grow it, harvest it, or make it yourself. Second best (and more practical for many, including myself) is to pay somebody I trust to do it — like the farmers at my Farmer’s Market, the cattle rancher I buy my annual grass-fed beef order from, or the chef at my local restaurant who’s willing to transparently answer questions about how he sources ingredients and what goes into the dish I’m ordering. http://www.foodrenegade.com/secret-i...-orange-juice/

This thread is unnecessary at this time me thinks. This can be seen as mocking the people of the south who are in dire situation now.

This could all be averted if Silanyo stops punishing Awdal community just because they didn't vote for him. Jacaylbaro, Ethiopia has survived the loss of Eritrea and its historical ports. It can handle losing Somaliland as well. The reverse may not be true though. Somaliland, as well as Puntland, are unlikely to survive Ethiopia's loss. This was made abundantly clear in 2006 when Islamic Courts Union pushed all the way to Galkayo and were just a pissing distance from Garowe. The Buhoodle incident of two years ago and Admiral Osman's boys walk thru Somaliland (undeterred) make it clear that Somaliland troops/security forces are not ready for prime time. You're not who you say you are.

We need the business background (the numbers). Xaaji, other info on this?

The federal government will release 30 million barrels of crude oil from its Strategic Petroleum Reserve, half of the 60 million barrels pledged by the International Energy Agency, over the next 30 days. The move, announced on Thursday, was made in response to lost production from Libya and to head off price spikes brought on by demand from summer drivers in the United States, the world's largest consumer of oil at 18.7 million barrels a day. Prices at the pump may fall slightly in coming weeks, a Duquesne University energy expert said, but the move is unlikely to keep prices low for long and could have the opposite effect once the extra supply runs dry. "The release (of oil) pushes prices down now, but they won't stay there," said Kent Moors, Duquesne University political science professor and longtime oil industry consultant. "As the price goes down, the demand will go up," he said. "Every time oil-product prices go down, people use more of it." And greater demand equals higher prices, he said. The futures price of oil trading on the New York Mercantile Exchange fell nearly 5 percent to $90.90 a barrel. "We are taking this action in response to the ongoing loss of crude oil due to supply disruptions in Libya and other countries and their impact on the global economic recovery," Energy Secretary Steven Chu said. Until February, when political unrest in Libya hurt oil production, the African nation was producing about 1.5 million barrels a day. The decision to tap American petroleum reserves, which hold 727 million barrels of oil in caverns along the Gulf Coast, seemed to run counter to comments President Obama made in March following the Libyan uprising. "Libya, for example, does not account for a large portion of overall world production," Obama said in March. "Basically, even if Libyan oil production was suspended for a significant period of time because of the unrest there, we'd be able to fill that gap." Republicans and business groups criticized the Obama administration's decision, but the move was hailed by the American Trucking Association, based in Arlington, Va. "ATA appreciates the step the Obama administration and IEA have taken to relieve high oil prices," ATA President and CEO Bill Graves said. "High fuel costs hurt trucking companies by increasing operational costs and by reducing freight volumes." Moors said it generally takes two weeks before changes in crude oil prices show up at the pump. And even then, prices will likely begin to climb again because demand from China and other developing countries is growing faster than expected, he said. Donald Bowers is expecting the same thing. Bowers is manager of Superior Petroleum Co. in Ross, a fuel products distributor and owner of more than 30 gas stations in the Pittsburgh region. He said such moves have occurred before and prices never stay down for long. "It's going to be good for a few days, then they'll be right back up," Bowers said. The United States has previously tapped its reserves, including in 2005 following Hurricane Katrina and in 1990 and 1991 during the Iraq war, according to the Department of Energy.

You are asking me to dispute a man who thinks of women as inferior to men! Also, watch the video again; Bloom is stating that "scientists" say that the earth is in fact cooling and that the earth is not getting warmer. I gave you tangible evidence of the Arctic receding! The most respected scientists agree that man-made CO2 has contributed to global warming. The Kyoto protocol was back by scientific evidence that specifically asked that countries help limit global warming. Why would the UN come up with this protocol to which many countries agreed to limit four greenhouse gases (CO2 being one of them) if man-made C02 was not contributing to global warming? Let me guess since the industrial revolution and the mass consumption of resources, the atmosphere hasn't been adversely affected? Have you read the Kyoto protocol entirely? Anything on direct link between human released Co2 and the temperature variations? We're talking about exactly what is "man-made global warming" here. The fact is the earth hasn't warmed since 1998 even though the trend is upward by 1 degree over the last 100 years. There is scientific evidence to what I am talking about as well.
