INTRODUCTION to P.L.E.A.S.E. VIDEO MATERIAL

======================================
INTRODUCTION to P.L.E.A.S.E. VIDEO MATERIAL
======================================
with instructions on how to protect your computer when watching videos on the Net or downloading them

See how using one's brains and observing nature, it is possible to grow ORANGES and LEMONS in the AUSTRIAN ALPS at close to 5,000 feet altitude not in greenhouses, but as REGULAR TREES. Using the same principles, you can grow ANYTHING in Southern California. So... JUST DO IT! (That's what Victory Gardening is all about!)

P.L.E.A.S.E. GARDENING is the most cutting-edge and powerful approach there is, and it is yours just for the asking. Here is is an introduction video to one of its simplest and most time-proven approach, usually known as "Square Foot Gardening", which goes back to Rudolf Steiner's 1924 Lessons.

But PLEASE READ THIS WARNING before watching or downloading videos!

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
WARNING: HOW TO USE ANTI-VIRUS & ANTI MALWARE SOFTWARE WHEN WATCHING OR DOWNLOADING VIDEOS FROM THE NET, and PRACTICE "SAFE SURFING"!
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

When you use these URLs to play or download the following video files, which are just video files any computer can play, avoid clicking on advertising, and DO NOT "upgrade" to get "quicker downloads" or whatever, and certainly do NOT download or "install" anything like the "Badongo Toolbar" or ANY "toolbar"! These are just super-spyware that will collect all the information possible on you, and worse! If you read their "terms of service" (something no one does, but we did), you'd have a heart attack!

Not only would they collect "personally identifiable information" if you allowed them to install their spyware, but you wouldn't even have any remedy if they installed virus, trojans, worms, *any* form of spyware, including keyloggers, or even simply remotely destroyed your computer! You have been warned...

As for the files themselves, they are just videos you can play or download. This is normally completely safe. Anything else, is simply "DON'T DO IT"! This warning is actually valid for anything similar, such as the "Yahoo Toolbar", etc, although its of course a bit more mainstream and less abusive. Uninstall or delete such things, if they already are in your computer! Download and use reputable f r e e anti-spyware programs and anti-virus programs! And run these programs after downloading and before playing *anything*.

You can (and should, if you haven't done it yet) install the following two f r e e anti-spyware programs:

Ad-Aware, which can be found on the CNET.com download page here:
http://download.cnet.com/Ad-Aware-Anniversary-Edition/3000-8022_4-10045910.html?part=dl-ad-aware&subj=dl&tag=top5

Spybot - Search & Destroy, which can be found here:
http://www.safer-networking.org/en/home/index.html
If Norton, McAfee or Kasperski tell you not to install Spybot because of "compatibility issues" here is what Spybot has to say: "The top reasons why people uninstall Spybot-S&D are those three malicious antivirus companies who force their users to uninstall our software for so-called, but never proven, incompatibility issues. Against these, all we can do is continuing down the legal road, and the feedback at least helps us getting more exact numbers."
They tell the exact truth: There are no incompatibilities, only an attempts to corner the market for commercial software, at the costs of a f r e e software that has over 100 Million users.

The best two f r e e anti-virus programs (together, superior to any paid-for AV program) are Avast and AVG. They are superior to the three above-named commercial anti-virus companies with shady practices, and both are f r e e for personal use, on as many machines as you want:

Avast Anti-Virus can be found here:
http://avast.com/ and downloaded from cnet.com:
http://download.cnet.com/Avast-Home-Edition/3000-2239-10019223.html?part=dl-AvastHome&subj=dl&tag=button
You will need any throw-away (or even "real", as in our experience, they don't spam) email address to get a f r e e license number for private use. That is fine -- we have no idea why they collect them, since it appears they never use them or sell them. The licensing page (for which you need an email address) is here:
http://avast.com/eng/home-registration.php

AVG Anti-Virus can be found here:
http://free.avg.com/ download it can be downloaded directly from here:
http://www.avg.com/filedir/inst/avg_free_stf_en_85_287a1483.exe
(Don't get caught with the "Free Upgrade" (which is "powered by TrialPay" -- that is, you have to "complete an offer"...) Installing its complement "AVG LinkScanner® Free Edition Real-time protection against online threats such as hacked or infected web pages" could be useful too. "Makes your search and surf safe" (let's tone that down to "a bit safer"). It can be found here:
http://free.avg.com/download?prd=lsf or directly downloaded from:
http://www.avg.com/filedir/inst/avg_lsf_stf_en_85_289.exe
AVG also has an integrated download manager, if you need one:
http://www.avg.com/filedir/inst/avg_lsf_stb_en_8_18.exe

It is possible to install AVG over Avast and have both running, which is supposedly not possible. In our experience this works just fine if you install Avast first. And you decided to install only one, it is possible that AVG is marginally better, as it has some anti-malware aspects. However, it has no rootkit (a particularly annoying form of malware) detection or protection, while Avast does.

http://www.trendsecure.com/portal/en-US/tools/security_tools/housecall/
is a secure external scan of your computer by another anti-virus company (the same that produces "HiJack This"). You might want to do this too, as it might detect something missed by Avast and AVG (but these two will detect malware that "Housecall" won't).

Another good thing to do would be to try their f r e e "BotNet Detector, which you can get on this page:
http://www.trendsecure.com/portal/en-US/tools/security_tools/rubotted

Do NOT EVER download anything that ~pretends~ to be an anti-virus or anti-malware program, registry scanner, etc... that has not be recommended by a truly reputable source, PARTICULARLY IF it pops-up out of nowhere in a seemingly "Windows Internal Message" or Fly-in. Numerous virus, trojans, spywares, etc, pretend to be the opposite of what they are... If you find no other way out when one tries to install itself, use Control-Alt-Delete depressed simultaneously, and shut down, or even just unplug the power cord from your machine.

Another very useful tool is the "HiJack This" Registry Keys analyzer. However, don't delete anything after a scan, unless you actually know what you are doing! You can find it here:
http://www.trendsecure.com/portal/en-US/tools/security_tools/hijackthis/download
along with directions about how to submit a scan for comments by knowledgeable people before deleting anything.

After this long but necessary introduction to security (triggered by actually *reading* the "Badongo Toolbar" "Terms of Service"), and realizing that we might unwittingly indirectly cause people to install de-facto malware such as the Badongo toolbar, here is a first batch of links to relevant videos about Organic Victory Gardening, which we believe to be quite educational, and highly encourage you to watch:

VG2 - Handbook - HOW TO GROW 2-3 POUNDS/Sq FOOT A YEAR [or 10-15 Kgs/m2]

VG2 - Handbook - HOW TO GROW 2-3 POUNDS per Sq FOOT per YEAR

[that is, 10-15 Kgs/m2]

VG2 - Gardener's Handbook - Victory Garden 2.0 - How to Get each Square Foot of Land to produce 2 to 3 Pounds (10 to 15 Kgs/m2) of Organic Food a year in Intense High-Yield Organic Cultivation - where the Climate Permits [ such as in Southern California, Florida and parts of Texas -- or any sub-tropical or tropical country].

First, let us prove you that it is possible, and, with the right knowledge and attitude, even easy.

Rather than argue the point, just go to http://pathtofreedom.com/ .

Look at the website, see what the Dervaes family has to say, and attend one of their events if you are local, so to see the place for yourself.

If they can do it, and they did indeed produce 10,000 pounds of organic food of the highest quality in 2008 on just 4,000 square feet of land in Pasadena, California, which normally would just be vasted on a typical suburban lawn, why couldn't YOU do the same?

What stops you? Think of it!

The present Handbook will explore how the Dervaes did it, and spell out simple rules showing anyone how to emulate that in their own backyard.

Meaning, showing YOU how to do about just the same!

Why is this so important?

First, because it proves you can feed yourself quite easily.

Second, because it proves that this country, and for that matter, any other country, could easily feed itself.

Third, because it proves that there is absolutely no need to continue with the folly of "conventional" agriculture. Organic food production is as efficient, if not more. This will become even more so when efficient agricultural robotics comes into the picture, a few years from now.

Finally, because it also proves that the populations reductionists are fools. You know, the people who think and advocate that this planet would be just much nicer if there were only 500 Million of us living on it. And that, consequently, it would be quite a great idea if through war and diseases, the powers-that-be culled off 94% of the people living on our Host Planet right now. (Meaning YOU included; YOU, your children, your friends and extended family, all dead -- or do you perhaps think they really intend to make a special exception for YOU? If you do, perhaps think twice...). And that we should/must do it or approve of it, because we can't feed existing people anyway.

Fact is, this planet could feed 100 Billion people. Or more.

Not that we are arguing we should get to such numbers. To the contrary, stabilizing our number seems the right thing to do. But fact is, we COULD feed a lot more people, and that's how it is. And this, not feeding them "conventional" crap, but actually real food.

But FORGET ABOUT OTHER PEOPLE.

Change starts with YOU, and in this case, the reward for changing what needs to be changed is something called HEALTH.

START WITH ADDRESSING Y O U R OWN NEEDS! Start by helping yourself, and let Heaven chip in for the rest of us!

VG2 Handbook -THE MAGIC OF SOIL DESIGN

VG2 Handbook -THE MAGIC OF SOIL DESIGN

VG2 - Gardener's Handbook - Victory Garden 2.0 - How to Establish your own Sustainable Functional-Food-Producing Organic Garden

The Magic of Soil Design

There is, obviously, some know-how involved with creating and maintaining your own Sustainable Organic Garden.

Nothing complicated, nothing a child could not do. Fact is, this writer did it as a child of 6, at no one's injunction, but with everyone's support, being fortunate enough to be for 3-4 months a year in a rural setting where such skills had yet to be forgotten, and probably just wanting to imitate the grown-ups.

Now, if a child of 6 can do it, do you think you might be able to as well?

Indeed, there is nothing to fear. Nothing is simpler than Gardening. The Earth WANTS to provide you with wholesome foods. However, you can't successfully go into Victory Gardening, or any gardening at all, without understanding some basic principles. That's where this Handbook will come handy.

For example, believe it or not, plants are mainly composed of air, water and sunlight.

In average, it's quite safe to say that only about 5% of their total weight comes from the soil. However, if the soil does not provide them with what they need in form of air, water, and micro-nutrients, your Garden is going to go nowhere. The closer to optimal that input will be, the better, the easier for the plant, and the healthier for you.

Thus, learning to design a soil that is ideal for your plants to thrive (and obviously, different plants may have different needs) is of paramount importance for your overall success.

How to do that the most effectively with a minimum of time, efforts and expenses is what will be addressed in the present VG2 Handbook.

VG2 Handbook - INTRODUCTION TO THE CONCEPTS OF VICTORY GARDENING SQUARED and VICTORY GARDENS 2.0

VG2 Handbook - INTRODUCTION TO THE CONCEPTS OF VICTORY GARDENING SQUARED and VICTORY GARDENING 2.0

"Victory Gardening 2" or VG2 stands for both "Victory Gardening Squared" and "Victory Gardening 2.0.

The first, in the sense of the same as previously, but magnified many times over.

The latter, in the same sense than "Web 2.0" stands to the WorldWide Web - symbolizing the maturing of a technology as well as the full use of cutting-edge sci-Tech in the service of something. In this case, of "Victory Gardening", and what comes with it.

To the point of "Creating an Entire New Paradigm".

In a way VG2 is just the tip of an iceberg. VG2 is both a symbol of and the expression of a maturing of the human mind.

Victory Gardening 2 is Gardening that truly makes a difference for your health and the health of the people you care for. As well as the health of your community. And of the Planet as a whole.
