Tip: Never put tomatoes in the refrigerator, unless you don't mind the the taste of the tomato being ruined. I learned this a long time ago, but this book provided me with the proper term for this phenomenon, "chilling injury." That's how much I love my tomatoes!
Most Helpful Customer Reviews on Amazon.com (beta)
If the answers to those questions are a.) within the past few months, b.) it had no taste at all, and c.) it came from the store or a restaurant, chances are you ate a modern-day relative of a real tomato.
"Perhaps our taste buds are trying o send us a message. Today's industrial tomatoes are as bereft of nutrition as they are of flavor. According to analyses conducted by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, 100 grams of fresh tomato today has 30 percent less vitamin C, 30 percent less thiamin, 19 percent less niacin, and 62 percent less calcium than it did in the 1960s. But the modern tomato does shame its 1960s counterpart in one area: It comtains fourteen times as much sodium." - from Tomatoland: How Modern Industrial Agriculture Destroyed Our Most Alluring Fruit by Barry Estabroak.
That quote came from a new book that has caught my attention in a big way. I've noticed for quite some time that supermarket tomatoes have zero taste. But I like tomatoes in salad and other favorite dishes. I know they aren't like "real" tomatoes from the garden or the farmers market, but I still buy them.
Not any more. Tomatoland made me take a good look at the tomato industry and I didn't like what I saw at all. The author, Barry Estabrook decided to find out why we can't buy a decent fresh tomato and discovered that it's not a simple question and answer.
He learned that Florida "accounts for one-third of the fresh tomatoes raised in the U.S., and from October to June, virtually all the fresh-market, field-grown tomatoes.." It's an example of industrial agriculture at it's worst.
In addition to growing a taste-less fruit, many Florida tomato growers are responsible for some very shameful practices: modern-day slavery and inhumane treatment of the tomato workers. There are shady legal and political practices as well. Numerous herbicides and pesticides are sprayed on the tomato fields, often right on the workers.
Besides learning how awful these growers are, Tomatoland taught me a lot about plant biology and the genetic and political history of our beloved plant. For instance, I had no idea tomatoes originally came from Peru and were the size of peas. The book is filled with the stories of the people surrounding the subject of tomatoes. Barry Estabrook brought them all to life.
There is no doubt about it - this is good reading. It's part expose, part history, and all very good journalism. I dare you to read this book and not want to DO something. That's what happened to me.
I'm now calling myself a Tomato Activist. What does that mean? For me, here's how I'm defining it:
For one thing, I'll never again buy or eat a fresh tomato unless I know exactly where it came from and under what conditions it was grown.
I will ask at restaurants where their tomatoes came from. If I'm not satisfied, I'll ask to have the tomato removed and I'll let them know why.
I have letters drafted to my senators and congressmen asking them to stick their noses into the working conditions for Florida tomato growers.
I'll can/preserve enough tomatoes to keep us supplied with tomatoes until the next season.
I'm telling everyone I know to read Tomatoland.
I hope you'll join me and become your own Tomato Activist.
Tomatoland offers up some interesting facts about tomatoes and some of what I read here surprised me. I have often wondered why people think tomatoes are vegetables when they are actually fruits and this book provides some background info on this misunderstanding along with some more alarming facts about tomatoes that will shock many who read. For example, how many realize that Florida winter tomatoes are picked while still green in color and then taken to a processing center where they are manipulated to look and feel like a normal, red tomato? How many realize how industrial practices have reduced the nutrition level of the tomato? And how many realize that Florida's climate is actually far from the ideal place to grow tomatoes and that they actually grow best in drier climates? These and other questions are answered and explained in the book with a good amount of detail.
Once Tomatoland finishes talking about the industrial destruction of the tomato, it then moves to the topic of labor. In fact, among the main topics discussed in this book, labor issues receive the most coverage of all. It is one thing for the nutrition level of the tomato to undergo an unhealthy demise, but it is another thing entirely when migrant workers are treated like slaves as they attempt to make a meagre living. Many have likely heard of these abuses but I doubt many are aware of their severity. Tomatoland spells out the problems for all to see, with information on the unsafe, unsanitary living conditions of migrant workers; the toxic pesticides and the resulting health problems they have caused; and the political movements that have sprung up in response to these and other issues.
Tomatoland wants readers to be aware of these problems in the industry and it effectively explains some of the specific incidents of abuse and neglect. One nice aspect of this book is that it isn't entirely negative and it doesn't want readers to get the wrong idea and think that all tomato growers are unethical. There are some good, ethical tomato companies that exist and Tomatoland shares their contributions in several sections of the book. There are many agricultural businesses that treat migrant workers fairly, avoid pesticides, and offer health insurance and is nice that the book includes mention of them, to provide a degree of balance.
As for the writing, Tomatoland is written in an academic style and it sticks to the facts, presenting known problems in the tomato growing industry along with accurate and often revealing quotes. The city that receives the bulk of the attention in Tomatoland is Immokalee, Florida, since this is a city known for its agriculture labor issues and for its news- making birth defect situation caused by chemical pesticides. The book doesn't state many direct opinions, probably because it isn't necessary. The abusive treatment of laborers, the birth defects caused by pesticides, and other issues are spelled out to the reader who is then left to make his/her own assessment, which is almost certainly going to be negative.
Tomatoes are considered one of the best foods you can eat but they way they are grown and processed is not at all like most would imagine. Tomatoland is a good book about the agricultural business in Florida and how its practices have resulted in an inferior food that is grown in a less than ethical manner by certain businesses. The book accurately points out that not all tomatoes are inferior in quality and not all tomato growers rely on slave labor to generate profit, but there are still plenty who do and Tomatoland succeeds at building awareness regarding these problems. It would have been nice of the author had included more solutions to these concerns, but the book is still good at exposing these undesirable practices and bringing to light the many problems in the growing and harvesting process as these spherical pieces of fruit make their way from the field to your dinner table.
Taste is the obvious reason. Every single one of us can go to the supermarket and tell the difference between a tomato grown locally and in the summer versus one grown in Florida in the winter. Estabrook makes clear that that is because the organization that regulates the tomatoes that come out of Florida regulate for every single aspect of a tomato - color, shape, texture, blemishes - except taste.
The second problem with tomatoes grown in the winter is that, if they are not grown in a hot house, they are grown in Florida or California. The problem with growing tomatoes in Florida is that it just happens to be one of the worst places in the world to grow tomatoes. In order to do so successfully, Florida tomato growers rely heavily on dangerous pesticides and chemicals to fight off pests and diseases and to put nutrition in the soil, which is actually just sand.
And now we get to the heart of Tomatoland, the mistreatment of migrant workers, especially concerning pesticide use, on tomato farms. This was not necessarily the turn that I expected Tomatoland to take, but I was so happy that it did. This is an important cause and an important topic that everyone needs to know about. When you purchase a tomato, you are making a choice. Are you going to support the abuse and slavery of the people who pick those tomatoes? Some of the things that Estabrook talks about will horrify you, from babies being born with deformities because of their parents' exposure to pesticides to examples of modern day slavery.
Estabrook does a good job balancing the political with the scientific. He interviews people on both sides of the debate and shows big agriculture in a fair light in my opinion. Not a good one, but a fair one. He shows what they have done horribly wrong and what they are doing, however reluctantly, to improve it. Things are getting better in the tomato industry, but it is all because of groups of people who were well-informed and willing to take a stand. The only shortcoming of this book is that I wish Estabrook had ended with a clearer sense of what still needs to be done. I would have rather had a final chapter that projected the future for tomatoes and the industry, as well as the future for migrant workers in the US.
I truly didn't expect to be as enthralled with Tomatoland as I was, but I found it to be an engaging and well-written piece of non-fiction that has the power to change the way people view their tomatoes. Hopefully it will convince people that the best place to get tomatoes is their own back yard.
Before I began reading, I had assumed that TOMATOLAND was going to be the definitive history of tomatoes interlaced with an expose of the evil practices of the large corporations responsible for growing many of the tomatoes consumed in America. I was only slightly correct in my assumption because though there are a few historical tomato anecdotes, the book is mostly an expose of the how large agribusinesses are destroying this flavorful fruit.
The majority of the book examines how tomatoes are grown by large agribusinesses and how those businesses mistreat the mostly migrant workers that work in the tomato fields. The factual piece of information that I found most fascinating while reading TOMATOLAND is that most of the tomatoes in the United States are grown in Florida. Having been raised in the Midwest, I was shocked by that fact. Though the climate in Florida is prime for tomato growth, the soil is terrible for the plants. I would have thought that maybe Texas or California were the largest tomato growing states, but I was wrong. Since most tomatoes are grown in Florida, the companies that grow them have to go to extreme measures to keep growing the crops year round. So, besides using illegal migrant workers, these companies further their unethical practices by exposing those workers to dangerous, carcinogenic, and sometimes lethal working conditions. TOMATOLAND examines these practices.
However, the book isn't completely negative. It also examines an alternative look at tomato-growing by telling the stories of some tomato growers besides the big agribusinesses that practice ethical business operations and humane working conditions.
There are a lot of statistics in TOMATOLAND and there are points where the first half of the book drowns in the names of chemicals and the statistics of particular court cases. The book is saved in the personal stories it tells, particularly in the last half. It was these stories (and the occasional tomato fact) that kept me reading until the end.
TOMATOLAND is not the definite book about tomatoes. It is, however, an informative, albeit often dry, examination of the large agribusiness practices that are destroying tomatoes and eradicating tomato taste. It also contains some wonderful stories about people around the country who are trying, sometimes inadvertently, to bring about a better tomato growing business. The book has appeal to those who like tomatoes and those who are interested in how large agribusinesses operate.

By ELISABETH BUMILLER and DAVID E. SANGER
Published: June 25, 2002
WASHINGTON, June 24— President Bush told the Palestinian people today that they must replace Yasir Arafat as their leader before the United States will support an independent Palestinian state.
Removal of Mr. Arafat was only one of several major changes that Mr. Bush demanded of the Palestinians in a blunt speech delivered in the Rose Garden this afternoon. He also called for an end to Palestinian terrorism, and for free elections and economic reforms to end corruption.
His speech was tougher on the Palestinians than any of his previous statements and was intended to bring an end to almost 19 months of bloody attacks against Israel and harsh military counterattacks in the West Bank and Gaza Strip. The United States had never before made the creation of a Palestinian state conditional on the removal of Mr. Arafat.
While he never mentioned Mr. Arafat by name, Mr. Bush made the price of Palestinian statehood clear: ''Peace requires a new and different Palestinian leadership so that a Palestinian state can be born,'' he said. [Transcript, Page A10.]
Mr. Bush effectively endorsed the position of Prime Minister Ariel Sharon of Israel, which he had until now resisted: that no negotiations can take place until Mr. Arafat is replaced.
Israeli officials were delighted. ''I thought all the way through the speech, this is the carrot, now comes the stick,'' a senior Israeli official said. ''There was no stick -- because we don't deserve the stick.'' [Page A11.]
In recent days, Israel has sent tanks and troops into six of the eight major Palestinian cities and towns as part of a new policy to seize and hold Palestinian-controlled territory until all attacks halt. Israel announced the policy last week, after back-to-back suicide bombings in Jerusalem killed 26 Israelis.
Today Israel stepped up its West Bank offensive and killed six Palestinians with a missile strike in the Gaza Strip. [Two others were killed early on Tuesday in the West Bank, The Associated Press reported.] Once again Israeli tanks encircled Mr. Arafat's compound in Ramallah.
While many Palestinians condemned the president's conditions, Mr. Arafat, making no immediate comment on his own fate, characterized the speech as ''a serious effort to push the peace process forward.''
Israeli officials, meanwhile, rejoiced that Mr. Bush was asking Israel to do relatively little, at least until the Palestinians first move to restore security and end terror attacks.
In the view of Israeli officials, Mr. Bush gave Mr. Sharon a free hand to continue his present West Bank offensive. Certainly, the president was uncompromising in his condemnation of Palestinian suicide attacks, saying, ''A Palestinian state will never be created by terror.''
The president said that if the Palestinians carry out the requested reforms, the United States will back a provisional Palestinian state. No timetable was given, but Mr. Bush said it could ''rise rapidly.''
This provisional state, whose form was left vague in the speech today, would be the first stage toward a final settlement and the creation of a Palestinian state with firmly defined borders ''within three years from now.''
Mr. Bush gave the speech fewer than 24 hours before he is scheduled to arrive in Canada for the opening of the annual summit meeting of industrialized nations. That meeting may now be dominated by Mr. Bush's efforts to press European leaders, along with Japan and Russia, to support his new approach.
Significantly, Mr. Bush made no call today for Israeli withdrawal from the West Bank until the Palestinians begin to end the violence, a sharp contrast to his call in his most recent previous speech on Middle East policy, on April 4, when he demanded a pullback by Israeli forces. Ultimately, the president suggested, Israel should withdraw from much of the land occupied since 1967.
Mr. Bush said: ''I call on the Palestinian people to elect new leaders, leaders not compromised by terror. I call upon them to build a practicing democracy based on tolerance and liberty. If the Palestinian people actively pursue these goals, America and the world will actively pursue their efforts.''
This was a departure from the usual White House formulation that Mr. Arafat had been a ''disappointment'' and that he should act to quell terrorism.
Mr. Bush gave no specific clue as to which Palestinian leader he envisaged replacing Mr. Arafat, and it was not immediately clear that any of those now in leading positions could meet the criteria set.
A senior administration official said that an earlier draft of the speech did not include an explicit call for Mr. Arafat's removal, but that the back-to-back Palestinian suicide bombings last week had ''crystallized'' the American resolve that there be new leadership.
The official said Mr. Bush inserted the sentence calling for the removal of Mr. Arafat as a precondition to Palestinian statehood late Saturday afternoon in his private office in the White House residence.
Some Palestinian leaders complained that the demands were so broad -- from free elections to an end to corruption to the breaking up of terrorist groups targeting Israel -- that Mr. Bush's speech could only be viewed as a stalling tactic.

Skip to comments.De Blasio drops NYCs Punxsutawney Phil
Posted on 02/02/2014 3:12:08 PM PST by Libloather
The first fumble of Super Bowl Sunday belonged to Mayor Bill de Blasio who dropped the Staten Island Zoos groundhog early Sunday morning.
De Blasio was trying to handle Staten Island Chuck when the anxious animal squirmed right out of the mayors hands and fell on his noggin.
Next year theyll need a net, said Ann Jackman, who was at the park with her 14-year-old daughter.
Look how tall he is. Can you imagine falling from that height?
(Excerpt) Read more at nypost.com ...
Alas....another fork in the road
Leave the groundhogs to the Pennsylvanians.
NYC is all concrete anyway...no place for a self-respecting groudhog (or human being, for that matter) to live.
PETA...animal cruelty alert.
Even groundhogs have enough sense to flee the awful grip of Communism.
Groundhog knows better than most NY City voters
Never trust a Communist.
Hey, being dropped on his head would probably do
De Blasio some good!
Poor groundhog realized that he was being held by a rodent far bigger than himself, and feared for his life that he would be eaten!
"Butterfingers Bill"
maybe we can ... next time...get the groundhog to drop the politician?
I think Chuck has had enough of being mishandled by the scum that NY elects into office. Imagine the amount of times he's had to be touched by Bloomburg? He ended up biting him. And now he has to deal with De Blasio? That groundhog is unfortunate indeed. He is discriminating in his tastes, however.
The groundhog was probably thinking, "Get your Communist-assed hands off me!"
Ever to be known as Punxatawney Bill DeBlasio?
That groundhog knows what's going on.
It seems this guy can't to do anything right. Bad choice, NY.
The groundhog should have bitten him.
Staten Island Chuck has caused more problems over the years. DeBlasio drops him, he bites Bloomberg (remember "I don't want to reach in and have the little Son of a B___h bite me"?).
A jackass holding a groundhog. The circus is in town! Bring in Cuomo and you even have a clown.
RAT on rat violence
Ping! Ten thumbs up for that comment! :-D
Woodchucks dont like rats especially red ones
Well said!
De Blasio was wearing gloves that resembled the glove worn by a hockey goaltender.
You know I don't care for this guy, but the one quick glance I saw of the clip made it look like the Groundhog said "Screw this I am outta here" and jumped ?
Leave out the mayor's name.
What a butterfingered d@psh@t!
Thanks Libloather.
The most important question from my family is: "Is the groundhog all right?"
OH Man poor Groundhog poor baby

DEFINITION of 'Condotel'
A condominium project that is operated as a hotel with a registration desk, cleaning service and more. The units are individually owned. Unit owners also have the option to place their unit in the hotels rental program where it is rented out like any other hotel room.
BREAKING DOWN 'Condotel'
There are pros and cons to condotel ownership. Pros include rental income to offset ownership expenses, a great vacation home, a cared-for home and potential price appreciation. On the down side, you might have to make a reservation for your own unit several days or weeks in advance. There are risks associated with all hotel ownership as well, such as occupancy rates that might be based on general economic conditions and potential destruction of the property.
Generally, condotels are sold as a second or third home.

This is an important thread. It isn't just trading that is done electronically that is so important either. Because of our high tech society combining with fractional reserve banking, all the money you think you have that isn't in your hand is just a glowing electron in a computer somewhere.
You don't have paper dollars in a vault and it sure isn't backed by anything tangible. Your savings account, your checking account, everything is really only just data because banks are only required to keep about 1% of total deposits on hand.
Think about this folks. How many of you actually use paper money at all? Most people use a piece of plastic that a machine uses to tap into the data at your bank.
When the trading stops it isn't going to take days for the effect to ripple through banks and down to consumers. You will most likely find out that something disastrous has happened when you swipe your card at the gas pump, or the grocery store, or the fast food restaurant and it just doesn't work.

With an emphasis on design and planning, you will learn the technique of pouring diluted watercolor directly on paper. Pouring creates a wide range of colors and creates amazing blending effects. Through instructor demonstration, you will learn about masking, wetting techniques, using gravity to mix your limited palette, and preserving the transparency of your layers. You'll choose your own subject matter: still life, landscape, architectural, floral, or portrait. All levels welcome, including first-time watercolorists.

Explore the medium of watercolor in a relaxing and creative environment. Award winning watercolorist, Iain Stewart's, sole focus will be bringing your creativity to light and aid you in dispelling the myths of the difficulties of painting in this wonderful medium. Given the right encouragement and understanding of the basic fundamentals, watercolor is a creative outlet unmatched in its ease of use, cost of materials, and pure enjoyment of artistic expression.
Through demonstration, careful critique, and lessons learned over a long painting career Iain will help you understand how to prepare for and anticipate the challenges that painting in watercolor presents. By guiding you through his process which relies on simplification of subject through sketching, graphite value studies, and preliminary color studies Iain will demonstrate how to
create a road map, that if followed, will greatly improve your painting. This workshop is intended to provide you with an understanding of how to paint in watercolor while avoiding common mistakes by creating a step by step road map that you can use for painting any subject.
Students will follow Iain in a group demonstration. Painters of more experience can work from their own photographs with individual guidance. The class setting is very relaxed and accommodating to all.
"It is my absolute joy to watch students make those tiny breakthroughs that begin to build confidence and leave a lasting desire to continue their exploration. Far too often the background exploration of a painting is left undone leaving the the "soul" of the image a mystery. It is my hope that by understanding and repeating my process you will find that your watercolors begin to follow a plan rather than a reaction to unanticipated results. Watercolor, if treated correctly, can be much easier than it's reputation might suggest. I can think of no other form of expression that I delight in more than painting and it is my sincere wish to share that pleasure with others." Iain Stewart
Iain Stewart is a signature member of the National Watercolor Society and a sought after workshop instructor and juror. His work has received top awards in international competition. In addition to being a fine artist and instructor, Iain is an architectural illustrator with an international clientele and is also an Adjunct Professor at the Auburn University School of Architecture. He has written articles and been interviewed for Watercolor Artist, The Art of Watercolour, Pratique des Arts, in addition to many others. His work Fife Sheep was selected for the cover of the June 2015 issue of Watercolor Artist.

Colley's students will be learning techniques to paint subjects such as Landscapes, Interiors, Seascapes and Urban Scenes. With Colley's easy going nature he will help guide you towards producing works that are bold, confident, and skilfully handled paintings filled with light. Students will be covering topics such as edges, tonal values, composition, brushwork, color saturation and focal points. We will be experimenting with techniques that will allow us to infuse abstract brush treatment into a realistic image.
Colley will perform one of his ''Still Life'' demonstrations to show the importance of why we need to be well rehearsed in the basics which will then allow us to create individual works of art. Colley's workshops are conducted in an inspirational, interactive and positive environment. The workshop will be conducted in a step-by-step process. We will paint from 9 am - 4 pm daily.
Acrylic painters are welcome too!

I mark each day with a painting.
After 2100 days (including Christmas) I've no intention of stopping. I use painting as an insistent act of documentation and with it, record weeks, months, and years. Collectively, painting for me, becomes a timeline of choices and happenstance.
Having cancer as a young adult, I discovered living is not just surviving. I want to embrace each day, no matter how typical, so without excuse or hesitation, I begin each day by painting. The on-going nature of my practice leaves me rooting for the next day, while the parameters of my work keep me focused on the simplicities of my immediate surroundings. The small, intimate
paintings of ordinary subjects create a structural framework of self-preservation. Each of these daily exercises is a vital
component of the project's ongoing, infinite progression.
My two-day workshop combines demos, in-class assignments and individual instruction to teach students the techniques I use to create fresh, deliberate marks. Using acrylic paint students will
discover approaches to simplify the process of painting and ways to stay inspired and motivated. Continuous painting is by far the most effective way to improve creativity and image making skills. I will share examples of how the discipline of daily painting produces personal growth. The class will delve into the principles of design, composition, value and color. We will examine color mixing, mark making and personal voice. Lastly we will discuss practical strategies to painting every day (or almost every day).

Composition is essential to good painting. It creates expression, structure and finally, meaning in painting. The pictorial principles of composition involve much more than a system of rules or the simple placement of objects. In fact, the best compositions manage to break all the rules. Composition concerns the entire relationship of parts to whole, from the individual brushstroke to the largest shapes. Most importantly, it is about the distribution of light and the construction of space and movement inside the rectangle. In this workshop we will use still life to explore compositional ideas through the use of color, the organization of value, the manipulation of pictorial space, and the gesture of mark-making.

Really, it's for his players, the ones getting used to the first new coach at Temple in 24 years. Dunphy wants them to be able to come in to say hello, to talk hoops, to just get to know their new leader.
Dunphy also had a far less altruistic reason for leaving the door open.

Heavy traffic causes I-91 tie-upJuly 07,2014Heavy traffic delay causes I-91 tie-up
BRATTLEBORO Heavy traffic leaving the state Sunday after a long holiday weekend caused southbound backups of up to 4 miles on Interstate 91.
The Vermont Agency of Transportation is spending $59.5 million to remove and replace four interstate bridges between exits 2 and 3.
Some 20,000 daily drivers that used to have two lanes northbound and two lanes southbound now have one each. On Sunday, that caused tie-ups significant enough to cause authorities to send out press releases advising of the slowdown.

That's a provocation! As far as I know so called Russia's anti-gay law is aimed to defend children from propaganda of same-sex relations and I believe Russian comrades did a great thing because children need protection from faggots. So there is nothing controversial in that law. God created Adam and Eve, not Adam and Steve, and that's the only way it should be. I'm going to visit Olympics and I really hope that I will see no people openly support LGBT because the games are intended to be a sport competition and not a place for spreading weird ideas, especially those ones that directly confront the law of the country where the games will be held. These people understand that they violate the law and openly provoke conflict with their LGBT supporting T-shirts and coloring books and I hope they will be punished, they deserve this. I hope everything will be fine, still I hope Russians know how to treat LGBT extremists that ignore laws and endanger children. (Nov 12, 2013 | post #2)

Super Bowl 50 preview: Stars, storylines and subplots galore
Happy America Day!
Can you even imagine Super Bowl Kanye?
In light of the Denver Broncos' Super Bowl 50 win, let's take a look back at our favorite Broncos cheerleader.
The Denver Broncos linebacker celebrated his team's win in good company Sunday night.
As Peyton Manning surged, Cam Newton scrambled and Coldplay's Chris Martin danced with two of his friends, millions of Americans turned to Google, seeking insight into the events of Sunday night.
It... kind of looks like a football.
Pep rallies, Missy style.
Also, there will be a 'National Treasure 3'.
When you're Tim Cook, you can't just post a blurry Super Bowl photo on the Internet and get away with it.
Here's a bit of Super Bowl trivia: North Korea's newest satellite passed almost right over the stadium just an hour after it ended.

text: This is the last comment I will make on the issue of the team. I explicitly state I am not taking credit for the combination. Any person who plays DPP knows all stall looks similar. It's not just Earthworm who has used a team just like this. It's VIL, imperfectluck, stvn, Taylor, and so on. The one I credited is august since he got me going with this. Finally, I have provided many of the lessons I use in Battling 101 in this RMT to help people use this. This is how I stall in DP. Therefore, it is Kevin Garrett Stall. You don't have to like it, but you do have to respect the time and effort I put into this. It's the presentation and how much people will absorb from it that I care about. I would not say I am terribly weak to Breloom. Breloom on its own is not a big problem at all. However, when Breloom is coupled with a few Pokemon that can make holes in this team, it is hard to play against. That can be said for almost any team with a certain threat. We're playing DPP here. Team matchups don't determine everything, but it's when certain combinations of things make it too big of a deficit to overcome do you lose. I will probably try Heatran and a few of the other sixth slot Pokemon that people have suggested.

Mercedes A45 AMG review
The Mercedes AMG-A45 is a firebreathing version of the Mercedes A-Class with over 370bhp
The Mercedes-AMG A45 is the fastest hot hatchback money can buy. Considering the (relatively) tiny 2.0-litre four-cylinder engine under the bonnet, the Audi RS3 rival offers lightning pace for such a modest looking car. Four-wheel drive gives added all-weather traction, while the seven-speed dual-clutch automatic gearbox delivers razor-sharp changes for effortless cross-country sprints.
Prices are high – even the entry-level car is almost £40,000 – but you get what you pay for. Quality is second to none, and of course there's that all-important Mercedes badge on the nose. The Ford Focus RS offers almost as much for quite a lot less cash, but then that's not the fastest hot hatch money can buy...
When it comes to raw power, the Mercedes-AMG A45 currently rules the hot hatch roost. The original 355bhp was momentarily surpassed by the Audi RS3, but Merc quickly responded by adding an extra 21bhp – quickly eclipsing the already bonkers 362bhp Audi.
The A45 uses a turbocharged 2.0-litre engine, four-wheel drive and rapid-fire twin-clutch gearbox to deliver supercar-rivalling performance in a practical hatchback body. There's no manual gearbox option but the A45 is equipped with Mercedes' seven-speed dual-clutch transmission.
Buyers love the subtle styling, but for some the fact this fire-breathing hot hatch could be confused for a humble A200d will leave many a little cold. The understated body kit can be enhanced with more aggressive add-ons, though, while larger alloys feature on the options list.
The result is the fastest accelerating hatchback money can buy, but this blistering straight-line pace doesn't come cheap, as the A45 carries a hefty price tag – even the entry-level car costs almost £40,000.
Engines, performance and drive
As you'd expect for a car wearing the AMG badge, the A45 delivers scintillating performance. Helped by four-wheel drive and launch control it will rocket to 62mph in just 4.2 seconds, the mini Mercedes feels viciously fast through the gears.
On the road, if you keep the revs high, the A45 really flies. On paper it's even faster than a Volkswagen Golf R or Audi RS3, though there's little to seperate them driving back-to-back. The Ford Focus RS is more playful, but for ultimate bragging rights, the Merc takes gold.
Happily, the uprated chassis is more than a match for the engine's explosive performance. The suspension is lowered and stiffened, resulting in rock-solid body control, while the 4MATIC all-wheel-drive transmission delivers limpet-like traction, even in slippery conditions.
The steering doesn't offer huge amounts of feedback, but it's extremely precise and well weighted. As a result, the Mercedes is a devastatingly fast point-to-point machine that carries huge speed through a series of corners.
The price you pay for this incredible agility is an extremely firm ride. Only since the car's facelift has the AMG been made available with adaptive dampers. These do help somewhat, but the standard passive units are stiff at low speed and a little fidgety on motorways. On the plus side, there's very little wind noise, while a tall top gear keeps the engine revs at a relaxed 1,800rpm at 70mph.
Mercedes-AMG A45 buyers only get one engine to choose from, but quite the engine it is. The turbocharged 2.0-litre four-cylinder gets a mammoth 376bhp and a considerable 475Nm of torque, pulling strongly right through the rev range.
It'll do 0-62mph in just 4.2 seconds and hit an electronically limited 155mph. The slightly less powerful Audi RS3 takes a tenth of a second longer, while the much cheaper – but almost as fast – Ford Focus RS completes the benchmark sprint in 4.7 seconds.
MPG, CO2 and running costs
With standard stop/start and emissions of 162g/km the A45 AMG is impressively clean for a car that produces more than 350bhp.
Cleaner than the BMW M135i (188g/km), the Merc sits three tax brackets lower, although its high price tag means the cheaper BMW will cost company car drivers similar amounts of tax. An Audi RS3 – with its potent five-cylinder engine emits 189g/km.
Mercedes offer monthly direct debit fixed price-servicing deals, which make it easier to budget for maintenance, while private buyers can take heart from the fact the AMG should hold on to 53.4 per cent of its value after three years.
However, watch out for the massive options list, as getting carried away here can easily add £10k to the bill and you won't recover that expenditure come part-exchange time.
Insurance groups
Insurance groups start at 44 for the entry-level Mercedes-AMG A45, while the Premium specification sits one group higher. Both the Ford Focus RS and Audi RS3 fall into group 40 – so no matter which super hatch you go for, insurance premiums will be high.
The A45 will retain between 48 and 50 per cent of its value after three years, which is impressive regardless of make, model or engine. This is a highly sought-after market, though, and most rivals can match – if not beat – at A45's depreciation numbers. A BMW M135i, for example, retains between 48 and 50 per cent, while an Audi RS3 blows it out the park by holding on to 57 per cent of its value after three years. Most other A-Class models will keep around 42-45 per cent.
Interior, design and technology
If you're looking to attract attention, the Mercedes probably won't be at the top of your shopping list. While the standard A-Class turns heads with its bold styling, the AMG fades into the background somewhat, and could easily be mistaken for a humble A180 diesel.
That said, all cars get a subtle bodykit, twin-exit exhausts and 18-inch alloys. It's possible to opt for the expensive AMG aerodynamic Package, which adds a large carbon fibre tailgate spoiler and front splitter if you really want to be noticed.
The sporty makeover is more obvious inside, where you'll find AMG branding for the dials, heavily bolstered sports seats, floor mats and illuminated kick plates. However, unlike some pricier AMG models, you'll have to pay extra for the tactile metal gearshift paddles and bespoke gear selector.
Highlights of the standard A-Class interior include circular, metal-rimmed vents for the air-conditioning and the tablet-style infotainment screen mounted on top of the dashboard. And while some of the plastic trim doesn't feel quite as upmarket as its rivals', the A45's cabin is solidly built.
Sat-nav, stereo and infotainment
All cars come with the standard car's iPad-style screen bolted to the dash, with the familiar Mercedes infotainment interface. It's trickier to use than BMW's brilliant iDrive system, and the sat-nav graphic leave a little to be desired. That said, the rest of the dash it wonderfully laid out with high-quality materials and decently weighted switchgear.
Practicality, comfort and boot space
Given its relatively humble hatchback roots, it's no surprise to find the A45 delivers decent practicality. The interior is roomy, there's plenty of useful storage and the boot matches the VW Golf R for carrying capacity, offering a solid 341 litres.
Yet while the AMG almost equals the Golf for rear seat space, the combination of shallow windows, high-backed front seats and dark interior trim means the cabin feels a little claustrophobic, with limited legroom. Also, the steeply raked roofline results in a low door opening, making it hard to load and unload children into their child seats.
The compact rear isn't a problem for occupants sitting in the front, but the thick A-pillars have the potential to cause dangerous blindspots at junctions and roundabouts.
The beauty of a hot hatchback is that they're just as easy to live with as their lesser-powered siblings on a day-to-day basis. In terms of size, the A45 sits in the same class as the Audi RS3, BMW M135i and Ford Focus RS.
It's the shortest of the lot, yet wider than all three. This gives the A-Class a squat look, but can make it slightly harder to manoeuvre in tight city streets. Visibility isn't great, and if you spend a lot of time in town, a Golf R might suit your needs better.
Leg room, head room & passenger space
The A45 loses nothing to its diesel siblings in terms of head and leg room, but that's not necessarily a good thing. The back feels quite cramped due to the sloping roofline, while the small rear windows make it quite dark in the back. Leg room isn't bad, but you'll struggle to fit three across the bench for longer journeys.
The 341-litre boot isn't great in the family hatchback class, but it far surpasses the space on offer in an Audi RS3. The Audi's load area shrinks from 380 litres (in the normal A3) to 280 litres thanks to a complex diff and relocated battery, while the A45's boot remains the same despite the extra power.
The boot in the AMG A45 is exactly the same size as it is in the A200d. Fold the seats flat and you'll reveal a 1,157-litre load space.
Reliability and Safety
The latest A-Class didn't do very well in our most recent Driver Power owner satisfaction survey – placing 119th out of 200 cars in our 2015 round-up, but some of the brand's other models put in a strong performance. The new C-Class finished a respectable 42nd, though key rivals like the Audi A3 managed a solid 27th-place finish. The dealers didn't fare to favourably, either, finishing behind Lexus, Jaguar and Porsche – but ahead of BMW and Audi.
Mercedes has a hard won reputation for safety, so it's no surprise the A-Class received a five-star Euro NCAP rating. Every model gets seven airbags, stability control, adaptive brake lights that flash during emergency braking and Attention Assist that monitors the driver for signs of fatigue. Further safety kit enhancements to the AMG include upgraded brakes and four-wheel drive.
The Mercedes-AMG A45 comes with a three-year unlimited mileage warranty. There are plenty of dealers dotted around the country, too, so keeping your hot hatch in check should be relatively straight forward. You can extend this for extra cost.
Mercedes recommends servicing your A-Class every year or every 10,000 miles, whichever comes sooner. A major check-up is recommended at around 18,000 miles and two years. There is a good service plan with several different payment options.
