Smallholder farmers are the main producers of food globally and provide 60 to 80 per cent of the food produced in developing countries. As the world's population grows, these farmers are under growing pressure to enhance their productivity and ensure food security, especially for the rural poor.
Yet numerous factors make farming increasingly difficult for them. These include climate variability and change, water scarcity and land degradation and high levels of post-harvest food losses.
Improving the soil, managing pests
Access to diverse agricultural technologies is key to ensuring smallholder farmers can continue to feed the world.
IFAD-supported projects help farmers to increase yields through enhanced soil and pest management, fertilizer use, access to better quality seeds, and other improved agricultural practices.
Our projects improve farmers' access to input and output markets, as well as to rural financial services that will allow them to invest in their farms.
They also enhance the institutional capacities of farmer organizations to meet the needs of their members, while ensuring natural resources are managed properly and growth is sustainable.
Growing more food and developing new opportunities
Our approach to agriculture is context-specific. We strive to create opportunities for farmers at various levels with different assets, and for both women and men farmers.
We also support the growing number of rural youth, who frequently find themselves squeezed out of farming and are looking for alternative income sources.
Smallholder farmers bring high value to their crops in Nepal
Piyola Oli is a farmer in western Nepal. One of her main challenges is access to quality seeds. Through the IFAD-supported High-Value Agriculture Project in Hill and Mountain Areas project, Oli has learned how to produce good quality onion seeds from her own produce and her income has increased considerably.

The official Neighborhood Ball will also include appearances by such huge names as Beyonce's husband Jay-Z, Denzel Washington, Maroon 5, Mariah Carey, Alicia Keys, Will.I.Am, Sting, Shakira, Faith Hill, Mary J Blige, Stevie Wonder, Jessica Alba, Leonardo DiCaprio, Ray Romano, Jamie Foxx, Queen Latifah and Kate Walsh.
The ball is separate from the Inauguration concert, where Beyonce is also performing.
The Neighborhood Ball is being held for Washington, DC residents and will be broadcast live on ABC and streamed with an interactive component online. This is the first time the ball is being held and was designed by Team Obama as "a celebration designed to make the inauguration open and accessible to all people."
Beyonce expressed her eagerness to perform for the new President the day after the election. "Whatever they want -- if they need me to volunteer, they need me to sing, I'm there, and I'm ready," she said.
So what will Beyonce sing? "It is our hope that we can keep the song secret until the moment," said Presidential Inaugural Committee spokeswoman Linda Douglass.

Before I was a breastfeeding mama, I snickered at the idea of tucking cabbage leaves into my bra. If my breasts ever swelled to the size of footballs, I'd celebrate – not curl up with the makings of cole slaw across my chest.
Oh, how wrong I was.
Engorgement and weaning are no laughing matter and neither are bags of frozen peas or sopping wet washcloths. So instead, I'm grateful to have gotten a chance to try out Blossumz breast therapy packs. These cute fabric-covered gel disks can be warmed in the microwave or chilled in the freezer, then discreetly slipped into your bra. You don't have to get up close and personal with the vegetables in order to get relief.
Blossumz also donates a portion of each sale to Komen, so they're helping breasts feel better all around. –Julie

Well, when I got my Bolens HT23 about a year ago, it was not running and among the things it needed, one was a starter. So me not having the money to spend for a good starter I ended up buying a new (cheaper) starter off eBay. Once I got the garden tractor running the pulley on the mower deck needed replaced and I didn't have any other attachments to use with it, so It was then parked for about 6 months. I then rigged up a push blade and a 3-pt on it, I also got another pulley for the deck so I can start mowing with it.
My point to this is, the new starter doesn't hardly have any use on it. It has only started the GT 50 times at most.
I went out today to uses it with a box blade and the starter made a "clunk" when I turned the key???. I tapped the key again and the starter just ground???. I then turned the engine over (by hand) a half turn and tried it again. But the starter just ground again!??? I then looked at the starter to find it broken in two!!!!!
I know I bought the cheaper starter and I probably would of saved money on the long run buying a better starter, but I didn't have the money at the time. I would of thought this starter would at least of lasted a couple years .
I think I still have the old starter, I'm going to pull the guts out of this one that broke and put it in the (good) old case.
The down fall is, I now need to make time to get this done and Bolens didn't make it easy to get these starters in and out
Thanks for listening to my rant

It secures, manages and allocates investors' gifts for charitable purposes in the Chisholm and Balkan area, working to improve the quality of life for local residents. We have awarded over
$1,000,000 in grants to various organizations within our community. Our Foundation stands as a beacon among small community foundations in our state and we are extremely proud of our accomplishments.
The Chisholm Community Foundation's mission is to be a steward of funds for innovative and creative projects that are responsive to community and economic development in the areas of social service, education, arts and culture, conservation and historic and environmental preservation.
Community Impact
Some of the organizations that have benefitted from the CCF's mission are the Chisholm Public Schools, City of Chisholm, Chisholm Beautification Association, Chisholm Police Department, Chisholm Blue Line Club and the Chisholm/Balkan Little League.
Funds have been used to develop our Bridge of Peace which showcases flags from all 50 states as well as flags from around the world.
The Lake Walk has been expanded and maintained for the citizens and tourists to enjoy throughout the seasons. The Doc Graham Field of Dreams became a reality with the help of the CCF. This new baseball field will allow for the high school, Little League and recreational softball teams to host tournaments again in Chisholm. Some of the grants awarded to the Chisholm Public Schools are: band uniforms and equipment, computer equipment and software, student testing systems, an auditorium lighting system, fitness center equipment, communications equipment and monitoring systems for buses, computerized food service, Smart Boards and new playground equipment.
The CCF has a 10-member volunteer board that is committed to raising the funds necessary to cover our annual operating costs, thus allowing all monies as contributed to go directly into the general fund as administered by the Foundation. We raise money by sponsoring an annual golf outing, annual investors' dinner meeting and we serve beverages at the annual Minnesota Deer Hunters Banquet, which is sponsored by Valentini's Supper Club. Our "Holiday Wine Tasting Festival" is hosted by Paul and Suzi Ruper, owners of Keyboard Liquor in Chisholm. Through their efforts, we raised just over $2,100, all earmarked to support the office operations account.

|The ZIMBABWE Situation
thoughts and prayers are with Zimbabwe
- may peace, truth and justice prevail.
From News24 (SA), 4 November
Peer review: 12 nations agree
Abuja, Nigeria - Twelve African nations agreed on Sunday to create an all-African peer review system monitoring their governments' conduct in a bid to attract lucrative trade and aid from Western governments wary of wars and human rights abuses on the continent. Representatives of at least four of 18 African nations present at a summit in the Nigerian capital of Abuja left without signing the declaration of intent, organisers said. It was not immediately clear whether the two remaining nations signed. Stressing that wars and civil unrest were hindering development on the world's most poverty-ridden continent, summit host President Olusegun Obasanjo said peer review was essential. Work must be done to "enthrone genuine democracy, the rule of law and good governance in all its ramifications", he added. Little was known, however, about how the peer-review system would operate. A copy of the document would only be made public on Monday, summit organisers said.
Peer-review has been cautiously supported by Western supporters of the New Partnership for African Development, or Nepad. Nepad was designed by the leaders of South Africa, Nigeria, Senegal and Algeria to energise the continent's economies through partnerships with industrialised nations. But it's uncertain how tough leaders of politically fragile, ethnically diverse African nations are prepared to be in policing themselves, and whether the panel would cover misgovernment or human rights abuses. Senegal President Abdoulaye Wade, an outspoken figure who has cajoled African counterparts for failing to speak out about abuses in Zimbabwe and other states, did not sign the document and left the summit hall less than an hour after the meeting began. The reason for his early departure was not known. Botswana, Tunisia and Cameroon also did not sign, Obasanjo said. South Africa, with Nigeria one of sub-Saharan Africa's two most influential nations, insisted in recent days that peer review should be limited to matters of economic good governance, like ensuring accountability for public funds and growth-friendly policies. Political matters should be left off the job description. Others had envisioned a more expansive policy, which would take to task African regimes that condone political corruption, undemocratic policies and human rights abuses. "There was never ever any suggestion that we have a Nepad peer review process that would conduct the work of the commission on human rights," Mbeki said in recent days.
In the end, South African President Thabo Mbeki signed the document, Obasanjo said. "The peer review mechanism must be African-owned, African-led, and African-managed," Obasanjo said. "It must be voluntary, technically competent, credible, non-discriminatory and free from political manipulation from any quarters." He did not specify whether it was the participants or judgments of the proposed panel that should be "voluntary". "We recognise in Nepad that peace and security is a condition precedent on poverty eradication and promotion of rapid economic development," Obasanjo said. Obasanjo called on summit participants to support attempts to end civil unrest and insurrections on the continent. The phased withdrawal of some UN peacekeepers from Sierra Leone after more than a decade of civil war, meanwhile, "bears eloquent testimony to what is possible ... when all stockholders demonstrate political will". "Heartwarming developments" had also been made in efforts to end years-long conflicts in the Congo, Sudan, Angola and Somalia, he added. "I urge all parties to the conflict in Ivory Coast to demonstrate their genuine commitment to peace and national reconciliation in the ongoing negotiations and peace talks," Obasanjo said. Conflicts in Central African Republic and Liberia "must also be brought to a speedy end." Along with Obasanjo, the presidents of South Africa, Rwanda, Ethiopia, Botswana, Algeria, Senegal and Mozambique attended along with diplomatic representatives of Angola, Gabon, Ghana, Tunisia, Cameroon, Egypt, Mauritius, Uganda, Mali and Republic of Congo.
Beira-Zimbabwe Railway Reopened
Agencia de Informacao de Mocambique (Maputo)
November 2, 2002
Posted to the web November 4, 2002
The railway linking the central Mozambican port of Beira to Zimbabwe was reopened on Friday night, after unexploded shells and other military ordinance were removed from the line.
The railway runs past the arsenal of the Mozambican Armed Forces (FADM) which caught fire on Wednesday morning when it was hit by lightning. In the ensuing series of explosions, munitions were thrown out of the arsenal in all directions.
One explosion damaged the railway, and derailed a goods train. Other shells landed around the track, but did not explode.
They all had to be removed before the line could be re-opened.
FADM sappers were involved in this work, while a team from the rail company, CFM, removed the derailed train and repaired the track.
The executive director of CFM's central division. Joaquim Verissimo, cited in Saturday's issue of the Beira daily "Diario de Mocambique", said the first train to leave Beira after the line was reopened was carrying maize to Zimbabwe.
Verissimo estimated the total cost of the interruption of traffic, and of the repairs to the line, at 200,000 US dollars.
47 families had their homes completely destroyed by the exploding munitions. In support of these families, the Sofala provincial committee of Mozambique's ruling Frelimo Party on Friday delivered 100 sacks of rice and two large bundles of clothing as a gesture of solidarity.
The gift was delivered by the mayor of Beira, Chivavice Muchangage. Frelimo has promised more assistance, including to those families who returned to their homes only to find that thieves had broken in during their absence and stolen their possessions.
Maputo, 2 Nov (AIM) - Mozambique's Deputy Environment Minister, Francisco Mabjaia, has guaranteed that fishermen whose nets were ruined by a spillage of fuel oil from the Matola port fuel terminal on Tuesday will be compensated.
Accompanied by the Deputy Minister of Mineral Resources and Energy, Esperanca Bias, Mabjaia visited the site of the spill on Friday.
He stressed that under Mozambican law, those who cause environmental damage are obliged to pay compensation.
Both the Maputo port authorities and the state oil company Petromoc, which owned the fuel oil, "are interested in assessing the possible environmental impact so as to implement the measures that may be necessary".
The spill was relatively small, estimated at between 400 and 600 litres of fuel oil. But this was quite sufficient to ruin the nets of a number of fishermen who operate in Maputo bay.
Mabjaia said these fishermen should be compensated "as quickly as possible", so that they could resume their normal activities.
The oil has not damaged beaches in Maputo bay, and the slick is presumed to be still at sea.
Mabjaia said that he intended to go by boat into the bay, to see where the oil slick had gone. "This oil will eventually end up on the coast", he warned. "We shall see what impact this will have".
Forex-Starved State Plans To Tax Expat Zimbabweans
The Daily News (Harare)
November 4, 2002
Posted to the web November 4, 2002
Luke Tamborinyoka Political Editor
The government is planning to tax all Zimbabweans working outside the country in an ambitious move that has already caused a stir among some of the estimated three million citizens who have left the country in the wake of a serious economic and political crisis in the country.
A South African newspaper, The Star, reported last week that the cash-strapped government is planning to levy taxes on an estimated three million Zimbabweans working abroad in a desperate bid to raise cash for fuel and electricity imports.
The newspaper quoted Deputy Minister Finance and Economic Development, Dr Chris Kuruneri, as saying the government was planning to levy income tax on Zimbabweans working abroad "in a bid to benefit from the brain drain and strengthen the country's revenue base".
The planned move was reportedly met with resistance from some citizens working abroad, who said the government could not levy them when it had disallowed them from exercising their right to vote in the presidential election in March.
The Star reported that the unofficial response was that there would be "no taxation without representation".
Jeremy Dube, a Zimbabwean working in Johannesburg, is quoted as saying: "I am not prepared to subsidise Mugabe's regime when I was denied my inalienable right to vote."
The government's rationale is that the State invested in their education, and so is entitled to a return in the form of taxes. It was unclear how the government intends to enforce the new expatriate tax, which it hopes to implement early in 2003.
In a letter published by The Standard newspaper yesterday, two Zimbabweans working in the United Kingdom said: "It is an insult to Zimbabweans living abroad who have been labelled stooges of the imperialists to be expected to pay tax both to the imperialist and to the Gaddafi-led Zimbabwean government."
Most Zimbabweans working abroad were driven out by the harsh economic climate, political violence, including inflation now standing at 140 percent, unemployment and shortages of basic foodstuffs.
Yesterday, Eric Bloch, an economic commentator based in Bulawayo, said the government's plan was unrealistic and far-fetched.
"It is unrealistic in that Zimbabwe has double tax agreements with over 19 countries, including the United Kingdom and South Africa, and those agreements provide that an individual can only be taxed in the country where they are earning their money," he said.
"I do not think the government has the capacity to do that and this is a desperate move to raise money. It is a far-fetched attempt to raise revenue."

F-35 Jet Showed 'Mixed Results' in Tests, Pentagon Report Says
Lockheed Martin Corp. (LMT)'s F-35 fighter, the U.S.'s top weapons program, had "mixed results" in tests last year of its flight characteristics and combat systems, according to a Pentagon report.
Director of Operation Test and Evaluation Michael Gilmore wrote in the report that the three versions of the aircraft in 2011 matched or exceeded the program's restructured plan for tests designed to evaluate flying qualities. The jet in 2010 met most test goals after falling behind in 2009.
Flights designed to accomplish discrete events to demonstrate the aircraft's war-fighting systems, such as navigation, enemy identification and targeting, fell behind 11 percent for the Air Force and 9 percent for the Marine Corps versions. The Navy's aircraft carrier version is 32 percent ahead of schedule, the tester says.
"Development, integration and flight testing of the most complex elements of mission systems lie ahead," Gilmore wrote.
The $382 billion F-35 Joint Strike Fighter is the Pentagon's largest program. It plans to buy 2,443 jets for the Air Force, Navy and Marine Corps.
Production funding is estimated by the Pentagon to increase from the requested $6.9 billion this year to $14.2 billion in fiscal 2016.
Gilmore's 13-page assessment is contained in his annual report on weapons testing that the Pentagon plans to release today. Bloomberg News obtained a copy in advance.
Key Assessment
The report outlines numerous challenges the test program faces as the Pentagon decides whether to delay purchasing between 100 and 150 aircraft after 2017, the last year in the military's five-year defense plan.
The report provides a neutral assessment of Lockheed Martin test progress that will be reviewed by lawmakers and the public throughout the fiscal 2013 budget process.
The short-takeoff and vertical landing Marine Corps model was placed on "probation" last year by then-Defense Secretary Robert Gates because of reliability and other problems. It's the most complex model of the three versions.
The Marine Corps version in October successfully conducted initial trials from a ship at sea.
"However, significant work and flight tests remain to verify and incorporate modifications to aircraft required to correct known deficiencies and prepare the system for operational use," Gilmore wrote.
"A significant amount of flight test and development remains to be accomplished" with some troubled components, including the propulsion system's drive shaft, clutch and an actuator, he said.
Mixed Progress
The three variants exceeded by 105 the 812 test flights planned for last year. The flight program exceeded by 570 the number of planned test "points," or planned flying events. It exceeded by 56 the 133 flights devoted to testing mission systems. Gilmore wrote.
Still, "overall, the program has demonstrated very little missions systems capability thus far in flight test," Gilmore wrote. "In fact, the program has not delivered some of its intended initial training capability, such as effective and consistent radar performance."
Gilmore said the 63 aircraft produced under Lockheed's first four initial production contracts "will require significant numbers of structural modifications and upgrades to attain the planned service life" and full combat capability.
Test Issues
The assessment follows a team of Pentagon test, systems engineering and structural experts who concluded in a Nov. 29 report that "no fundamental design risks" would preclude production of the jet for the Air Force, Navy and Marine Corps.
It identified 13 current or likely test issues of varying severity, the combined effect of which "results in a lack of confidence" in the aircraft's "design stability." The issues include the Navy version's tailhook for aircraft carrier landings, the system for dumping extra fuel before landing and excessive aircraft shaking during flight.

Now, let's play catch-up!
GABBAR SINGH on May 9th! Woo! I need some more masala in my life after all the soggy romantic-comedies from the last couple of months. It seems like years since I saw Vettai.
Paan Singh Tomar is said to have done well at the box office... I'm so sad we didn't get it here but from what I understand it wasn't set in the UK or US, didn't feature a starlet or have an item song, and Irrfan Khan and Tigermanshu Dulia didn't spend three months talking about how it was going to be on par with Woody Allen and Hollywood, so I guess the film studio didn't know what to make of it.
I should also add that it looks like Shiney Ahuja's Ghost was just "officially" released on youtube, which means I have another victim for Box Office Poison! I can't wait!
* Some sad news, Joy Mukherjee is in hospital.
* An interesting little tidbit at the intersection of film and politics. Gul Panag and Shayam Benegal pull out of a film contest sponsored by British mining company Vedanta Resources. (Maybe they finally saw Urumi?)
* Meet the original AGENT VINOD!
* While Mr. New Agent Vinod isn't finished with Punch Gate just yet.
* Leaving aside why anybody would ask Taran Adarsh his opinion on anything, here's a little piece on how there are no Holi songs in films anymore.
Director and writer Tanuja Chandra said, "Since a large number of movies these days are about urban affluent people and many are situated abroad, Holi doesn't figure high in the scheme of things. Only in small-town stories does Holi have significance."
* Cannes is bending the rules for Kamal Hasaan's Vishwaroop.
* Anil Kapoor wants to make a woman centric film.
* Hrithik Roshan is taking time off after Krrish 3 - and well deserved, too. He puts his heart into his films.
* Meanwhile, Sanjay Dutt has raised his price after Agneepath... because he thinks nobody remembers his other films from last year?
* Ranbir's world tour is off again.
* Bipasha Basu is putting distance between her and Madhavan after Jodi Breakers but by all accounts, their jodi was the best part of the film.
* Tusshar Kapoor needs to give up on playing traditional romantic leads. There is not ONE PERSON out there who wants to see him romancing anybody female.
* Mohanlal charged a crore for his cameo in Tezz. Will it be worth it?
* Katrina talks Ek Tha Tiger. (And Sallu wants to make more changes to the script.)
Also, she was apparently paid a crore to walk the ramps at a fashion show in Kochi.
* Nargis Fakhri is not doing a film opposite Arjun Rampal. Thank god. Arjun has only recently begun to really perform well but he still needs a strong co-star. Nargis is not that.
* But it looks like that Sonam Kapoor movie wasn't a rumor after all and she'll be starring opposite Dhanush.
* Did Sanjay Leela Bhansali sign on Ranveer Singh?
* Priyanka Chopra to release her single in the summer? Get ready for the wave of 'meh' to sweep across the Western world!
* Sonakshi Sinha zings pouty actresses - we're all thinking Sonam, right?
During a recent interview, the Dabangg actress was asked about the best compliment someone could give her and here's what she said, 'That I can act because that's what I'm here to do. Not here to flaunt my branded clothes, bat my eyelids, pose and pout.'
* Amy Jackson is headed to Texas to judge Miss Teen World! Congratulations, Amy!
* Not Bollywood related but interesting - Miss Pakistan will be crowned in India.
The journey for prospective beauty queens in Pakistan has always been marred with controversy, given that it is a state where pageantry is still a new concept. In the past, Ahmed admitted to having faced tough resistance from the public, the government and the embassy (going as far as to state that the Pakistani government deliberately blocked visas of contestants who were to travel to Japan for the contest).
* I think that this was going around earlier - Tabu to do an item song for Maximum.
* And there will be THREE item girls for Rowdy Rathore, including my favorite MUMAITH KHAN!
* Congratulations to Akshay Kumar and wife Twinkle Khanna, who is going to have a baby! (Related: Akshay gave this amazing quote:
'If we are not attending events together, that does not mean that we are heading to splits Ville. We are family, not function attending addicts'.
HA HA HA! I love Akshay.)
And in Akshay news for me - he's starring in an A.R. Murugadoss film. Because my prayers have been answered. I deserve this! AFTER A MONTH AND A HALF OF ROM-COMS, I DESERVE THIS!
* We all have our weaknesses - dance is mine. I'm very much looking forward to Remo D'Souza's ANYBODY CAN DANCE!. It's going to be in 3D. 3D!!!!!
Admire Sonakshi! ADMIRE HER! Yes, it's Lakme Fashion Week and I did see a couple nice round-ups of fashion which I will link to later.
New song promo for Blood Money!

Is this a true democracy?
Before I begin to say a story, many of you already heard the news about ferry ship accident in S.Korea on 16 April. This accident should have never happened in 21st century, but sadily, It is true. Most Koreancitizens have thought the authorities and private rescue workers have done their best! However, it is not true. I could not seen anything the authorities did their best even though the private workers did their best.
I want to let you know what is happening now at Jindo in S. Korea. The police are blocking the streets to prevent family members of the missing passengers from going to the executive office and the official residence of the South Korean president at the Blue House.
Approximately at this time, all broadcasting stations of South Korea simultaneously stopped reporting newsflashes of the Sewol Ferry incident, although they were scheduled to continuously update its viewers with new information. This is because what the viewers see on television does not correspond with the actual situation.
The family members of the missing passengers are frustrated and angered about how the government has been handling the incident. The decision to go to the Blue House was unanimously agreed upon by the families of the missing passengers. However, instead of meeting help they were met with police cars blocking the roads. At the present, the families are heading to the Blue House, literally, on foot.
Panicked, one of the authorities claimed that this action was unnecessary, and stated that 30 victims could still be saved. This only further incensed the families of the missing passengers, because since the day of the accident they have been coddled with false promises, and endless reports laden with misinformation.
Major broadcasting stations of South Korea are keeping quiet about this escalation of conflict between the families of the Sewol Ferry victims and governmental authorities. Please help us let this injustice be known, if not within Korea, at least to the world.

On September 11, 2001, Doug Laux was a freshman in college, on the path to becoming a doctor. But with the fall of the Twin Towers came a turning point in his life. After graduating, he joined the Central Intelligence Agency, determined to get himself to Afghanistan and into the center of the action. Through persistence and hard work, he was fast-tracked to a clandestine operations position overseas. Dropped into a remote region of Afghanistan, he received his baptism by fire.
Frustrated by bureaucratic red tape, a widespread lack of knowledge of the local customs and culture, and an attitude of complacency that hindered his ability to combat the local Taliban, Doug confounded his peers by dressing like a native and mastering the local dialect, making contacts, and building sources within several deadly terrorist networks. His new approach resulted in unprecedented successes, including uncovering the largest IED network in the world, responsible for killing hundreds of US soldiers.
Meanwhile, Doug had to keep up false pretenses with his family, girlfriend, and friends - nobody could know what he did for a living - and deal with the emotional turbulence of constantly living a lie. His double life was building to an explosive resolution, with repercussions that would have far reaching consequences.

"Great book but..."
The number of redacted parts in the early stages of the book lead to a very disjointed listening experience had me wondering if I'd finish the book or not. Understandably frustrating to the author (and listener alike) the number of redactions illustrates the censorship hoops authors have to go through to get a book like this to print and suspect this is why they remain in tact n this audio book version (covered over by classical music). This is my only negative on what is a well written and insightful book. I enjoyed it.<br/>
"Left of Boom no happy"
Well I brought my first audiobook being a book named Left of Boom about a CIA operative in Afghanistan.
Being a big fan of this type of book I was excited about my first audiobook.
Was completely shocked to find the audio had been censored by a heavy handed CIA. Audio voice would be cut and filled with classical music, very frustrating.
I would like my money back as this is a complete rip off.
"Captivating true story"
Amazing true story, great mix of spies, war and love. Well narrated, easy to listen
"Just so you know."
I've listened to other books that have redacted content. When one of those sections was reached by the narrator, an overview of the redacted content was addressed and the narration moved on. Here you are treated to music for the duration of the missing content. This is just a guess as I didn't time these sections or the bumper music between chapters or the twelve second dead space's following those, but my guess is that the reader is getting about eight hours of content. Loved the story. Tied several things together from other things I've read. This isn't about the content. It's about heavily padding the time. You (redacted) been warned!
"Too Censerord to be Enjoyable"
I don't know if I like this audiobook or not because I was too annoying by the censorship.
The narrator informs you that because this is a book about the CIA certain parts have been removed and replaced with classical music on the behest of the CIA. What the narrator neglects to tell you is that these removed sections account for about 20% of the entire book. It's annoying, immediately annoying.
The narrator was fine.
"Frustratingly [REDACTED]"
In places it is more [REDACTED] music than story, to the point and it is [REDACTED] impossible to follow.
What's the point of writing a book that will be [REDACTED] to illegibility?
Fantastic narration by Mike Dawson! Story is good, but listening to a lot of redacted material can be tiresome.
"Great Story - Overly Redacted"
Bossman. Bossman is wise and well spoken and is the sage archtype most people can find in their own organization. The guy who should be in charge of everything, but usually isn't.
It was pretty good. He applied good effort for the Pashto, but got a few military words wrong. Overall, better than most I have heard.
I loved the story. I wanted to smash my phone in the middle of the book because there were so many parts that were redacted. It was silly.
The description of the SEALs (Scorpions) was pretty accurate. They are toolbags.
To cope with the redaction, apply the following:
Foreign country/border = Pakistan
Foreign Intelligence Agency = Pakistani ISI
Foreign financing = Saudi involvement
Parts are entertaining but this book is unfinished and leaves way to much blank. Even with the explication given about sensitive info. The comment about Tim Hortons being Canadas McDonald's left me puzzled!
Author's ego shines through, this book would get a better rating i am sure if they would have cleaned up some of the missing dialog or reworded it so it was admissible.
Entertaining but unfinished
"too much redaction"
very frustrating listen. while I understand the CIA needing to protect their interests, this book is not worth a credit
Would have been nice to know that so much of this book had been redacted prior to purchasing. It's pretty annoying that every minute or so classical music is playing to fill in the words blanked out of the book.
Simply fascinating, personal, and flat out interesting. This is the first audiobook I've listened to with Dawson as the reader... He's perfect! Laterhosen
I couldn't stop listening. An enthralling story is made even more captivating by Dawson's narration. Would recommend to anyone.
"Terrible.DO NOT WASTE YOUR CREDITS!!!!"
You miss the majority of what is said through incredibly annoying cuts to classical music due to classification. I could only stick 20 mins of missing entire parts of a story, so much so that anything left in was irrelevant detail. If I could get my money back I would.
"Left of boom"
Very good book, interesting and knowledgeable.
Only problem is the music cut overs. I understand certain information has to be redacted but I feel the music is a bit much.

Jennifer Aniston, Matthew Perry, and Courteney Cox Reunite For a Super Cute "Friends" Bit on "Ellen"
By Dustin Rowles | Videos | May 22, 2013 | Comments ()
By Dustin Rowles | Videos | May 22, 2013 |
Courteney Cox has done Matthew Perry's show, Jennifer Aniston has done Courteney Cox's old show, and I'm sure they've done other things together at some point, somewhere, but it's always been in character. In this bit -- as Aniston prepares to co-host "Ellen" -- they're themselves, though they're making references to their "Friends" past.
It's cute. And for "Friends" fans, pretty fun.

Erding at the double
A review of Tuesday night's action in France's Coupe de la Ligue, including a victory for Rennes over Nancy.
Last Updated: 25/09/12 11:53pm
A review of Tuesday night's action in France's Coupe de la Ligue, including a victory for Rennes over Nancy.
Mevlut Erding's double sent Rennes through to the last 16 of the Coupe de la Ligue with a 3-2 win over fellow Ligue 1 strugglers Nancy.
Erdinc's 27th and 47 minute strikes put Rennes in command of the tie after Romain Alessandrini had cancelled out Djamel Bakar's early opener for Nancy.
Benjamin Moukandjo scored a late consolation for the visitors.
Ligue 1 Bastia shrugged off four straight losses to ease past third-tier Metz 3-0. Toifilou Maoulida scored twice for the hosts while the visitors had Ali Bamba sent off after 18 minutes.
Auxerre, who have made a poor start to life in Ligue 2 following relegation last season, also reached the last 16 with a 2-0 win over fellow Ligue 2 side Angers.
Despite the 16th minute sending-off of Cameroon midfielder Georges Mandjeck, Auxerre took the lead two minutes later through Paul Ntep and Terence Makengo added a second from the spot moments later.

Bromeliads (Bromeliaceae) are tropical plants that grow in U.S. Department of Agriculture plant hardiness zones 9 through 11. The plants prefer indirect sunlight and good air circulation. Many bromeliads are grown as houseplants, and are sold while in bloom. The bromeliad does not die when the flower dies, but continues to produce offspring called pups.
Flower Removal
Once the flower starts to fade, it must be removed for the bromeliad so the plant focuses its energy on reproducing. Cut the base of the flower, using a sterile pair of scissors to reduce the risk of spreading disease to the healthy plant. Make a clean cut as close to the plant as possible without damaging the bromeliad. The flower no longer is viable and you can throw it away.
Care After Flowering
The bromeliad still is growing and you should resume normal care of the plant. Water the center cup and drain the excess by tipping the plant at a 45-degree angle. Keep the plant in a bright location, but out of the direct rays of the sun. Watch for developing pups. They look like miniature versions of the parent plant. Some bromeliads grow their pups under the outside leaves, and it is best to leave the pups attached to the parent plant until they are about one-third the size of the parent plant.
Removing the Pups
Once the pups have reached about one-third to one-half the size of the parent plant and started forming roots, it is safe to remove them. Cut each pup from the parent using a sharp knife or scissors that has been sterilized. The wound on the pup must callous over before you plant them. Set the pups in empty containers for at least a week before planting them so the wound can form a callous.
Bromeliad Pup Care
Plant the new bromeliads in a soil-less potting mix that has been mixed with perlite. Water the planting medium slightly, and add a small amount of fertilizer to the water during the first month, until the plants have a strong root system. If you use a time-released fertilizer mix in the planting medium, it is best to use one that will dissipate within a few months. Fertilizer inhibits the color forming on the bromeliad. The pups need the same care as the parent plant, where lighting and watering are concerned. To promote flowering in your new bromeliads, a safe practice is to place a ripe apple and the bromeliad in a sealed plastic bag for about two months. The gas released from the apple stimulates flowering in the bromeliad.

text: I have a two inch crack in the gel on the bottom of my boat that is need of repair. I've done the repair before but always above the water line. It has a slight rust color around it and it made me wonder if I need to be concerned with water between the gel and fiber glass. Obviously I will repair as soon as I can, but can I keep using it until I have a chance to fix it or am I risking more damage?

Newco Rangers have announced the signing of Kevin Kyle on a one-year deal as the club continue to rebuild their squad.
The 31-year-old striker becomes the third arrival of the day after the club revealed they had signed free agents Emilson Cribari and Francisco Sandaza.
|The Portuguese superstar has topped our definitive countdown of the finest players from 2011-12. Click here to view our slideshow from 50-1!
Kyle has endured an injury-ravaged 18 months and left Hearts in the summer after two years with the SPL outfit, but is eager to make the most of his new opportunity.
"There is only one attraction, and I'm sure that's the same for all the signings: this is Rangers, it doesn't get any bigger than this," he told the club's official website.
"It's a massive opportunity and there aren't many people who get a chance like this in Scotland.
"When it came to me I had to pinch myself. When I got in here for a week I told myself I was going to work so hard and prove that I can do a job here.
"That's worked out and I've signed a one-year deal. The aim now is to do well this season and hopefully the manager comes knocking on my door to extend that.
"I'm hungry and I have a desire to do well here. I have some unfinished business but at the end of the day the attraction was Rangers.
"Regardless of whether it's the Third Division or the Dog and Duck Sunday League it's still Rangers and it's a great opportunity to play here."

I was able to compile my Linux device to a composite gadget.(Serial Port + Mass Storage)
When I plug this device on a Linux PC, The OS was able to detect and use both function. But when I plug it on Windows, it is just detected as a "Multifunction Composite Gadget" and I can't use it as neither a Mass Storage or a Serial Port
How do I go about making this work in Windows. Is making a customized driver really essential for this task? If so, how is this accomplished the least "painful" way?
Or Is there any other way to communicate with a USB Mass Storage device? Other than making both it Serial Port and Mass
Storage then communicating via the serial part?

Humorous is correct worldwide. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Typo#Dictionary.com
Humourous is in common usage in Commonwealth countries.
- I do not believe this to be true. Cite please? --126.96.36.199 22:10, 21 April 2009 (UTC)
- I don't believe it either; I don't think I've ever seen it here in the UK, and it isn't in the Chambers or Collins dictionaries. It appears to be an obsolete spelling, though: [1] Equinox ◑ 22:13, 21 April 2009 (UTC)
- I agree, like honour and honorable; in fairness while British complain about American spellings, they are actually truer to their Latin roots than British ones (compare color#English and color#Latin).
- While I have no citation, I definitely have the opinion that this spelling is in common usage today in the UK. Perhaps less common than humorous, but far from obsolete. A quick google search, for example, on guardian.co.uk, telegraph.co.uk or timesonline.co.uk shows many instances of its use. --David Edgar 15:19, 9 September 2009 (UTC)
- I feel strongly that it is not a common UK usage: more of a common UK mistake, really. ODWE actually says don't use this spelling, in its entry for humorous. Best wishes DisillusionedBitterAndKnackered 17:47, 15 October 2009 (UTC)
- The spelling is mentioned in the OED with a couple of cites from the early 1800s, but it is not currently common in the UK, nor is Shakespeare's spelling: "humerous", but even that is occasionally seen in those newspapers' blogs. Dbfirs 20:26, 13 August 2011 (UTC)
I have added a usage note from the Oxford Dictionary, with citation, that this is a misspelling. O'Dea (talk) 20:55, 3 April 2014 (UTC)

Injury Setback For New City 'Keeper
Nicky Weaver will retain his place in goal for a few more weeks and continue deputise for the injured Andreas Isaksson.
Isaksson who was signed recently for £2m from French club Rennes, injured his foot in training during the pre-season and so far has not featured for City in a competitive game so far.
A scan has shown some loose bone around his ankle which will require minor surgery to remove. If all goes well with the operation, Isaksson is expected to resume training in about a fortnight.
Although this is a big disappointment for the player himself and for the fans who have yet to see him play, Pearce will not rush Isaksson into the team and risk further injury.
In the meantime, Nicky Weaver has put in two solid displays in goal so far and will need to be on top form against the Gooners on Saturday.
With Kasper Schmeichel back on loan with Bury, Joe Hart will be called into action should anything happen to Weaver.
