You really want to start this huh?
Well to answer mad possams request, ill be online off and on from 11 to whenever, i hope your down to play. Its up to you.
As much as Giga and I laugh at Afro we laugh at you just as much.
Wow that`s hardcore stuff here ! Better than anything I read the last few months.
But to be serious, Afro is a cool guy, up to my oppinion and how I met him, not cocky in any way. He doesnt has to proof anything because hes already shown and is still showing his skills.
Trying to destroy his reputation isn´t fair, he does a lot for the community. For example by just holding up the flag, travelling to tournaments at his own costs and
making some good games, a lot of people all over the world are able to watch (like me over there in europe). Or by just answering tactical and technical question immediatly on gppo and in the earlier days by letting people join the room on XBL so they can have some practise with him and giving them advices during gameplay.
No this man really isnt a joke, for me he is a respected member of the community ! Why should this man fish for compliments ? Whats so wrong about a solid ego ?
I don`t know guys, our community is small enough, when people from outside ST read this, what a picture appears in their mind ? A degenerated bunch of people who try to tier themselves into pieces, the small remaining part of the once enthusiastic community ? We should try to act a litttle bit more like role models, so we maybe get some fresh blood into our scene, where the average age is higher than anywhere else.
This is fucking stupid, lol. This game came out in what, 1994, and yet there’s still drama and some other crap going on?
So stupid you took time out of your day to reply to it. You’re stupid, now gtfo and let us enjoy our drama.
Sure, buddy. Talk shit over the Internet, lol. Have a good night.
No drama on my end, i just wanna play him tonight. Im feeling good and in the mood for a good challenge. I wont even complain about online, i just wanna play, thats all.
Marsgatti & Afro Legends were the ones who disrespected STP publicly first…I only met STP once & he seem like alright dude who loves Save By the Bell…Never met Afro & i only played Marsgatti on XBL…But if you read back in the thread Mars & Afro started it & STP came & finished it…
As for people reading this outside the ST community, have you seen how ST has been treated in tournaments…Its already a damn joke…How about during the finals of ST they decided to stream a computer vs computer match of SFIV instead…
Who’s STD’s and why is this scrub suddenly trying to be relevant?
I’m all for some good rivalries and trash talking, helps hype things up, but it always seems to get taken too far in the ST community. There always seems to no shortage of fragile egos around here (or outside parties that like to slow down to look at car crashes egging things on). We need talented spokespersons for our game, not constant hate filled drama. There’s players that want to learn ST but don’t want to get on GGPO to play because of all the trolling, hate, alt account nonsense that goes on. I would expect the ST community, being that most of us are older, to be the most mature, proffesional, and respectfull FG community. I am proven wrong on a daily basis. Rcaido may be right, maybe it doesn’t matter because no one else is paying attention, but maybe that’s why no one else pays attention (and the fact that no one does should be our main concern, not this stuff). I guess I’m just a take the high road kind of guy.
Never had anything but many good experiences from either Afro or Mars, and while, again, it’s been a few years since I played STP (back in the good ol days when GGPO was speed select, die speed setting 1) the fact that I still remember them shows that his play made an impression and remember nothing but good matches and respect. All three players should be members of the skilled spokepersons for ST I mentioned, and while I have had nothing but good experiences from all three, I also always try to give respect to my opponents. And you usually get what you give.
Who gets mad at somebody for running top tier characters? I’m not trying to pick sides on this but let’s be real for a second: fuck spending that much time on a shitty character. Then you gonna get mad at counterpicks too? Goddamn son.
So apparently on one side we got a male Oprah with self esteem issues and on the other we got a dude who is still mad he hasn’t learned other characters. The weirdest shit is that Afrolegend is sending niggas pics of him in a wife beater and the dude admits to accepting it. Both of you are looking hella suspect. If the two of you get a match on, I hope both of you ride a short bus all the way to the cabinet you play on.
Footage of John Choi counterpicking in ST:
[media=youtube]mJcKdUnQqPU[/media]
Apparently Choi is also a bitch ass too.
Vega is a bitch ass character…Didn’t know that Ken was a counter to Vega, i thought Vega had no bad matchups…Either way, fuck counter picking, that is why USA is bitchass in ST…
I don’t know if its a straight counter to Vega since I haven’t fucked with ST in a while. Choi switched to Ken after taking Valle’s advice.
You’re on the suspect alert too. Posting with 2 dudes with exposed chests in your avatar; on top of that you play the #1 manhugger Zangief. Maybe Afrolegend should send you some pic of him in a wife beater.
You should probably go back to wrist turboing on ggpo, you have no idea who STP really is or his real colors or what he acts like online, You’re just one of the biggest online dickriders.
No thread is ever fully complete without djbeans throwing in some homo reference.
This article is about walnuts as food. For the tree species, see Juglans regia. For the genus, see Juglans. For other meanings, see Walnut (disambiguation).
Walnut
A walnut is an edible seed of any tree of the genus Juglans, especially the Persian walnut, Juglans regia. Broken nutmeats of the eastern black walnut, from the tree Juglans nigra, are also commercially available in small quantities, as are foods prepared with butternut nutmeats.
Walnut seeds are a high density source of nutrients, particularly proteins and essential fatty acids. Walnuts, like other tree nuts, must be processed and stored properly. Poor storage makes walnuts susceptible to insect and fungal mold infestations; the latter produces aflatoxin - a potent carcinogen. A mold infested walnut seed batch should not be screened then consumed; the entire batch should be discarded.[1]
Walnuts are rounded, single-seeded stone fruits of the walnut tree. The walnut fruit is enclosed in a green, leathery, fleshy husk. This husk is inedible. After harvest, the removal of the husk reveals the wrinkly walnut shell, which is in two halves. This shell is hard and encloses the kernel, which is also made up of two halves separated by a partition. The seed kernels - commonly available as shelled walnuts - are enclosed in a brown seed coat which contains antioxidants. The antioxidants protect the oil-rich seed from atmospheric oxygen so preventing rancidity.[1]
Two major varieties of walnuts are grown for their seeds — the English Walnut and the Black Walnut. The English Walnut (J. persica) originated in Persia, and the Black Walnut (J. nigra) is native to eastern North America. The Black walnut is of high flavor, but due to its hard shell and poor hulling characteristics it is not grown commercially for nut production. The commercially produced walnut varieties are nearly all hybrids of the English walnut.[2]
Other species include J. californica, the California Black Walnut (often used as a root stock for commercial breeding of J. regia), J. cinerea (butternuts), and J. major, the Arizona Walnut.
Walnuts are late to bear leaves, typically not until more than halfway through the spring. They also secrete chemicals into the soil to prevent competing vegetation from growing. Because of this, flowers or vegetable gardens should not be planted too close to them.
The husks of walnut contains a juice that will readily stain anything it comes into contact with. It has been used as a dye for cloth.
[edit]Production
The worldwide production of walnut seeds has been increasing rapidly in recent years, with most increase coming from Asia. The world produced a total of 2.55 million metric tonnes of walnut seeds in 2010; China was the world’s largest producer of walnut seeds, with a total harvest of 1.06 million metric tonnes.[3] The other major producers of walnut seeds were (in the order of decreasing harvest): United States, Iran, Turkey, Ukraine, Mexico, Romania, India, France and Chile.
The average worldwide walnut seed yield was about 3 metric tonnes per hectare, in 2010. Among the major producers, eastern European countries have the highest yield. According to the FAO, the most productive walnut seed farms in 2010 were in Romania, with yields above 23 metric tonnes per hectare.[4]
The United States is the world’s largest exporter of walnut seeds. The Sacramento and San Joaquin valleys of California produce 99 percent of the nation’s commercial English walnut seeds.
[edit]Storage
The ideal temperature for longest possible storage of walnut seeds is in the -3 to 0 oC and low humidity - for industrial and home storage. However, such refrigeration technologies are unavailable in developing countries where walnuts are produced in large quantities; there, walnut seeds are best stored below 25 oC and low humidity. Temperatures above 30 oC, and humidities above 70 percent can lead to rapid and high spoilage losses. Above 75 percent humidity threshold, fungal molds that release dangerous aflatoxin can form.[1][5]
Freshly harvested raw walnut seeds with water content between 2 to 8 percent offer the best color, flavor and nutrient density.
Nutritional valueld infested walnut seed batch should not be screened then consumed; the entire batch should be discarded.
Nutritional value
Walnuts are one of the several high nutrient density foods. 100 grams of walnuts contain 15.2 gram protein, 65.2 gram fat, and 6.7 gram dietary fiber. The protein in walnuts provides many essential amino acids.
While English walnut is the predominant commercially distributed nut because of the ease of its processing, its nutrient density and profile is significantly different from black walnut. The table below compares some of the major nutrients between English and Black walnuts.
Unlike most nuts that are high in monounsaturated fatty acids, walnuts are composed largely of polyunsaturated fatty acids (47.2 grams), particularly alpha-linolenic acid (18:3n - 3; 9.1 gram) and linoleic acid (18:2n - 6; 38.1 gram). The beneficial effects of this unique fatty acid profile has been a subject of many studies and discussions. Banel and Hu concluded in 2009 that while walnut-enhanced diets are promising in short term studies, longer term studies are needed to ascertain better insights.[7]
Raw walnuts contain glyceryl triacylates of the n-3 fatty acid alpha-linolenic acid (ALA),[8] which is not as effective in humans as long-chain n-3 fatty acids,[9] and (mostly insoluble) antioxidants.[10][11][12][13][14] Roasting reduces antioxidant quality.[15] In 2010, a report[citation needed] published in the Journal of the American College of Nutrition said that walnuts and walnut oil improve reaction to stress.[16]
A study has suggested that consumption of walnuts increases fat oxidation and reduces carbohydrate oxidation without affecting total consumption, suggesting that walnut consumption may improve the use of body fat in overweight adults.[17] Walnuts have been shown to decrease the endothelial dysfunction associated with a high-fat meal.[18] Aged rats fed diets containing 2% to 6% walnuts showed reversal of age-associated motor and cognitive function, but a 9% walnut diet impaired performance, suggesting a J curve.[19]
On October 11, 2006, ScienceDaily published a report[20] which stated “New research shows that consuming a handful of raw walnuts along with meals high in saturated fat appears to limit the ability of the harmful fat to damage arteries,” and attributed the result to a 2006 article in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology. The lead researcher, Emilio Ros, MD, PhD, was quoted as saying “People would get the wrong message if they think that they can continue eating unhealthy fats provided they add walnuts to their meals.”[20] Funding for the study was provided by the California Walnut Commission, an industry marketing agency.[20]
A 2012 study showed that eating walnuts improved sperm quality in healthy young men. [21][22]
[edit]Medicinal uses
Scientists are not yet certain whether walnuts act as a cancer chemopreventive agent, an effect which may be a result of the fruit’s high phenolic content, antioxidant activity, and potent in vitro antiproliferative activity.[23]
Compared to certain other nuts, such as almonds, peanuts and hazelnuts, walnuts (especially in their raw form) contain the highest total level of antioxidants, including both free antioxidants and antioxidants bound to fiber.[11]
[edit]Chemical analysis
To remove the husk from kernel can lead to hand staining. Walnut hulls contain phenolics that stain hands and can cause skin irritation. Six phenolic compounds (ferulic acid, vanillic acid, coumaric acid, syringic acid, myricetin juglone[24] and regiolone[25]) have been identified in walnut husks by using reverse phase-high performance liquid chromatography or crystallography.
Walnuts also contain the ellagitannin pedunculagin.[26]
(−)-Regiolone has been isolated with juglone, betulinic acid and sitosterol from the stem-bark of J. regia.[27]
[edit]Etymology and names
“Walnut” does not distinguish the tree from other species of Juglans. Other names include common Walnut in Britain; Persian walnut in South Africa[28] and Australia;[29] and English walnut in North America and Great Britain,[30] New Zealand,[31] and Australia,[29] the latter name possibly because English sailors were prominent in Juglans regia nut distribution at one time.[32] Alternatively, Walter Fox Allen stated in his 1912 treatise What You Need to Know About Planting, Cultivating and Harvesting this Most Delicious of Nuts:[33] "In America, it has commonly been known as English walnut to distinguish it from our native species."
Etymologically, the word derives from the Germanic wal- and Old English wealhhnutu, literally “foreign nut”, wealh meaning “foreign” (wealh is akin to the terms Welsh and Vlach; see Walha).[34]
In certain parts of the world, walnuts are locally known as walnüsse, noix, nuéz, nuc, ceviz, orah (орах), enkuyz (ընկոյզ), akharōṭ (अखरोट), kurumi (胡桃), hétáo (核桃), hodu (호두).
Unlike Walnuts, chinnuts grow on STP’s chins, because he has dick in his mouth. LoLz
in short, STP has left very clear he is not doing any FT10 nor MM, time for Mars to find another contender, there is plenty of japanese shotos to pick from
You dont even know him from your first post, so why are you taking sides…Like i said i met him STP IRL…I read the thread, Mars & Afro disrespected STP first…If they had beef it was among themselves but they decided to bring out to the public & of course STP had to defend himself…
Also what is up with these money matches, why money match someone you say is a scrub or isn’t good. If you know you can beat that person & you want to money match them then that’s pretty cowardly…Why not money match those japanese players?
Can’t wait to see who’s wearing them on the chin once the dust settles.
