Julie Isabel Bishop MP (born 17 July 1956) is an Australian politician. She is the Australian Minister for Foreign Affairs, having held the portfolio since the swearing in of the Abbott government on 18 September 2013.[1] Bishop was the only woman in the current cabinet until 23 December 2014, when Sussan Ley became Minister for Health.[2]
Bishop is the Deputy Leader of the Liberal Party of Australia,[3] and is the party's first female Deputy Leader and the third woman in Australian history to hold the title of Deputy Leader of the Opposition. She has been a member of the Australian House of Representatives since 1998, representing the seat of Curtin in Western Australia. She was a minister in the Howard government until the defeat of the Liberal/National Coalition at the election held on 24 November 2007. Bishop is a republican.[4]
Bishop holds a Bachelor of Laws from the University of Adelaide, and was managing partner of the Perth office of Australian law firm, Clayton Utz, from 1994 to 1998.
Julie Bishop was born in Lobethal, South Australia, growing up on a cherry farm in the Adelaide Hills.[5][6] She was educated at St Peter's Collegiate Girls' School and later at the University of Adelaide, where she studied law, graduating in 1978. Subsequently she practised as a barrister and solicitor at the Adelaide law firm Mangan, Ey & Bishop, where she was a partner.
In 1983, Bishop married property developer Neil Gillon, and relocated with him to Perth, Western Australia, where she practised as a commercial litigation solicitor at Clayton Utz (then known as Robinson Cox). While working at Clayton Utz Bishop was part of the legal team which defended compensation claims against CSR by asbestos mining workers who had contracted mesothelioma as a result of their work for the company.[7][8] She became a partner of Clayton Utz in 1985. Bishop and Gillon divorced in 1988; childless, she never remarried but subsequently had relationships with Liberal state MP and Senator Ross Lightfoot, and former Lord Mayor of Perth Dr Peter Nattrass.[9][10] Her current companion is property developer David Panton.[11]
Bishop became managing partner of the Perth office of Clayton Utz in 1994. In 1996, she attended Harvard Business School in Boston, Massachusetts and completed the eight-week Advanced Management Program for Senior Managers. She stated that It was at this course that she was inspired to give up her lucrative law career and enter Federal politics.[12][13]
Bishop chaired the Town Planning Appeal Tribunal of Western Australia, belonged to the Senate of Murdoch University, and was a director of the Special Broadcasting Service (SBS) and a director and fellow of the Australian Institute of Management. She has also served on the Council of Governors of the Lions Ear and Hearing Institute.[14]
Member of Parliament[edit]
Bishop won pre-selection for the Liberal Party for the seat of Curtin, Western Australia, in 1998, and went on to win the seat at the federal election later that year, defeating the sitting member and Liberal turned independent Allan Rocher, who had held the seat since 1981.
Following the Liberals' February 2001 state election loss by Richard Court to Geoff Gallop, Bishop was mooted as a possible contender for the leader of the state opposition.[14] Initially Court had announced that he would lead the Liberals into opposition. However, behind the scenes he was engineering a deal under which both he his deputy leader and factional opponent, Colin Barnett, would have resigned from the state legislature. Bishop would have handed her comfortably safe federal seat to Barnett, enter the state parliament via a by-election in either Barnett or Court's comfortably safe state seats and succeed Court as state Liberal leader.[15] The deal soon collapsed, however, when Bishop turned it down, declaring that the arrangement wasn't bizarre, but "innovative, different".[14] Court was forced to leave politics altogether, and Barnett took over as state opposition leader.
Minister in the Howard government[edit]
Bishop was appointed Minister for Ageing in 2003. She was later promoted to Minister for Education, Science and Training and Minister Assisting the Prime Minister for Women's Issues in the cabinet reshuffle on 24 January 2006 and served in those positions until the defeat of the Coalition government at the federal election held on 24 November 2007.
Bishop's education policies centred on the development of national education standards as well as performance-based pay for teachers.[16] On 13 April 2007, the Australian state governments expressed opposition to Bishop's policies, notably those relating to performance pay. In the 2007 budget, the federal government announced a $5b "endowment fund" for higher education, with an express goal of providing world-class tertiary institutions in Australia.[17]
Some of Bishop's comments, such as "the states have ideologically hijacked school syllabi and are wasting $180 million in unnecessary duplication", have been criticised by teachers. An advance media kit for a 2006 speech claimed parts of the contemporary curriculum came "straight from Chairman Mao"; however, the reference was dropped from her speech.[18][19][20]
Shadow ministry and deputy Liberal leader[edit]
Following the Coalition's loss at the 2007 election, Bishop was elected deputy leader of the Liberal Party under Brendan Nelson on 29 November 2007. In a ballot of Liberal party room members, Bishop prevailed with 44 votes, one more than the combined total of her two competitors: Andrew Robb (25 votes) and Christopher Pyne (18 votes).[21] Nelson also opted not to give National Party leader Warren Truss the post of Deputy Leader of the Opposition, instead giving it to Bishop. Bishop was also given the shadow portfolio of employment, business and workplace relations in the Nelson shadow cabinet.[22]
On 22 September 2008, Bishop was offered the role of Shadow Treasurer by Nelson's successor as Opposition Leader, Malcolm Turnbull, in his shadow cabinet[23] making her the first woman to hold the portfolio of any major party at the federal level.[24] On 16 February 2009, she resigned from the position of Shadow Treasurer, due to dissatisfaction within Liberal ranks over her performance. Bishop moved to foreign affairs while maintaining her position of Deputy Leader whilst the shadow treasury portfolio was taken over by Joe Hockey.[25] On 1 December 2009, Tony Abbott was elected leader after a leadership spill. Bishop retained the deputy role without being challenged for the position[26] and also retained her role as Shadow Minister for Foreign Affairs in Abbott's shadow cabinet.[27]
In 2010, Bishop defended the suspected forgery of Australian passports by Mossad, saying that many countries practised the forging of passports for intelligence operations, including Australia.[28] The government attacked Bishop over the statements, saying she had "broken a long-standing convention" in not speculating about intelligence practices.[29][30] She later clarified her statement, saying, "I have no knowledge of any Australian authority forging any passports of any nation."[31]
Following the Coalition's narrow loss in the 2010 federal election, Bishop retained the roles of Deputy Leader and Shadow Minister for Foreign Affairs and was given the added responsibility of Shadow Minister for Trade.[32]
Minister in the Abbott government[edit]
Following the election of the Abbott Coalition government in September 2013, Bishop remained as Deputy Leader of the Liberal Party, and was appointed as Australia's first female Minister for Foreign Affairs.[33]

Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen is the latest in Michael Bay's foray into the multi-million-dollar toy commercials that are the Transformers movies. Returning are stars Shia LaBeouf as Sam Witwicky and Megan Fox as Mikaela Banes, as well as Peter Cullen and Hugo Weaving reprising their voices as Optimus Prime and Megatron respectively. Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen is essentially better than 2007's Transformers. Bay manages to turn everything up a notch, which unfortunately includes some of the weaknesses of the first movie.
This movie takes place two years after the first one. The Autobots have entered into a deal of asylum with the U.S. government and work with it to take down rogue Decepticons. However, the higher ups in the government are a bit weary and suspect of the Autobots, believing them to be the reason for Decepticon attacks. Meanwhile, Sam is off to college and hopefully a normal life. That doesn't work too well with the information of the All Spark downloaded into his head.
Cue Decepticons hunting him down and Autobots fighting to protect him. Throw in scantily-clad hot girls, slow motion and explosions, stir with a Bad Boys 2 poster and you have a Michael Bay film whether you like it or not.
Probably the best part of the film is the greater concentration on the Transformers. Decepticons other than Megatron actually get real dialog this time. Starscream, who got screwed in the last movie with no real lines or character, is as cowardly yet power hungry as usual, not to mention he actually talks. Soundwave (with his original voice from Frank Welker) forgoes his traditional boom box form for a satellite, yet it actually works for him. While he doesn't fight himself, Soundwave does launch out Rampage, who does keep true to his jaguar-like form.
As for the Autobots, they're here in full force as well. Optimus Prime is as awesome as he should be. Probably the top three fights in the movie are his, and he's good in them. It's no wonder why he's the leader of the Autobots when he takes on Megatron, Starscream and other Decepticons all on his own. Not to mention Peter Cullen continues to deliver that iconic and awe-inspiring voice of his.
While Ironhide and Ratchet don't get as much screen time as in the first movie, we do get introduced to plenty of new Autobots who followed Optimus' message at the end of movie one. Sideswipe is a new Chevy Corvette Stingray concept, which works for a sleek design in both vehicle and robot modes. Then there's the Arcee team, a trio of female motorcycle Autobots lead by Arcee. There's also Jetfire, portrayed as an elderly Transformer with an SR-71 Blackbird jet mode. To ease some worries about Jetfire, while he has a cane that actually is integrated into his transformation, he does use it as a weapon. That's probably what its real purpose is, while Jetfire uses it as a cane due to malfunctioning legs.
The film also does well to include more aspects of Transformers mythos. Energon exists, as does a certain Matrix of Leadership, oddly lacking finger grips though. We also have the existence of other Primes in the past, showing that the Prime name is a name of leadership.
The plot is fairly cohesive, more so than the first one. There are no real out-of-place subplots, and everything ties into the main story. Still, a good deal of the scenes could have been shorter, as the movie really does not need its two and a half hours of running time.
Going in that direction though, one of the things that should have been cut down is the comic relief. The comedy gets old quick in my opinion. While Sam's parents (Kevin Dunn and Julie White) comedic character development and Agent Simmons (John Turturro) wardrobe malfunction is bearable, there are a few more relief characters than necessary.
First we have Leo (Ramón Rodríguez), Sam's know-it-all college roommate with a penchant for whining and complaining and who just happens to run a conspiracy website featuring robotic aliens (What a coincidence on Sam's part). He doesn't feel like he adds anything to the film. However, he one thing well, and that's making Sam far more likeable in contrast.
Then we have Skids and Mudflap, two annoying Autobot twins. As established in the first movie that the Autobots learn about Earth from the internet, these two must have went to the most ghetto website imaginable. They talk with street-thug accents. Neither is particularly bright. Skids even has gold-and-silver-plated buckteeth. Anyone who found Jazz offensive in the first movie will have a field day with these two. I just found them annoying and hardly redeeming. Heck, even Wheelie is more likeable.
Similar to the first film and despite more focus on Transformers, this film still has too much concentration on the humans. The similarities to a teen romance drama are still strong, especially at Sam's college with rowdy frat boys and compromising situations with girls who are not Sam's girlfriend Mikaela. While I wish there is less, it's still fairly concentrated in just the first half and is left alone as the plot progresses.
The final battle does concentrate more on the human soldiers fighting. However, given that the Transformers get the focus in the several fights spread throughout the movie, and that the soldiers are supposed to be working with the Autobots as equals, it does only seem fair and forgivable.
One final problem the film has is keeping track of Transformers. There are a lot of Decepticons, most of which aren't distinguishable. It's sad having to rely on the toys to tell us who's who. Also, we have the Constructicons, and they do form Devastator, yet there are Constructicons fighting while Devastator fights elsewhere.
Speaking of Devastator, yes he has testicles, and yes that scene is ridiculous and unnecessary.
Overall, it's a decent movie. The best way to recommend this is if you liked the 2007 Transformers, you'll love this. It is a better movie. However, if you hated the 2007 film, be it from too much people, too stupid comedy, distaste of designs or just too much Bay-ness, you won't hate this as much but you still probably won't like it. I enjoyed it more than I thought I would, and so did some of my more old-school Transformer fan friends, so you might too.

Turbine has posted more creature information for Lord of the Rings Online: Shadows of Angmar. The creature of choice today is the Crebain. There is a fair to slim chance that they wrote this:
"These menacing black birds from the lands between the Misty Mountains and the dark forest of Fangorn are often controlled by the forces of darkness, acting from above as the eyes and ears of the enemy. Large and intelligent, flocks of these crow-like creatures darken the skies on their mission of evil. But be warned – even one Craban is capable of alerting the enemy with the swiftness of the wind. "

Mutant Shaman.
The folks at NCSoft / NetDevil have posted some new Auto Assault information. Today we meet the Mutant Shaman, the Shemi 10 (looks like a big rig) and the nasty looking Alchemy Van. They might have written this:
"The Mutants are a very cohesive race, bound by their relationship to the Contamination and their religious zealotry. While the ability to live and bond with the Contamination comes somewhat naturally, the Mutants' intense and passionate spiritual devotion – bordering on righteous fanaticism – is fueled by the Shamans."

It blows up real good.
The good folks at NCSoft / NetDevil have another new class article posted. This time it is the Biomek Agent. They wrote something that looks disturbingly like this:
"Biomeks rely on force to solve most problems. However, this does not mean that they act rashly or without preparation. A special class of warriors is trained in the art of gathering timely and accurate information for the Order to exploit. With advanced combat skills and extremely fast vehicles, the Agents infiltrate, observe, and sometimes eliminate threats to the Order."

The folks at NCSoft / ArenaNET have posted the list of changes that are coming to Guild Wars. They wrote something that looks a lot like this:
"This week, as part of our in continuing promise to keep Guild Wars free of hacks, cheats, and other exploits, we closed the accounts of more than 100 users of bots. With today's update we are taking further steps to address the bot problem. New changes will improve our ability to identify and ban users of bots, rebalance mission areas that were highly exploited by bots, and reduce the overall effectiveness of bots, exploits, and other highly repetitive forms of gold and item farming. We are taking these steps to improve the game for all players, so that people using bots to farm gold cannot generate a huge influx of new gold into the economy, which increases prices for everyone and encourages other players to engage in repetitive farming just to keep up."

Vault Network has a fan-fest developer interview posted. Somebody wrote this, maybe:
"I got a chance to sit down with Dallas Dickinson, SOE Senior Producer at Fan Fest and ask a few questions about Star Wars Galaxies. Some of these are kind of random, as we were writing down questions to ask on Friday night at dinner. Thanks to PhantomOfTheMMO for his help in coming up with the questions, and thanks to Dallas for taking the time to sit down and answer them for me."

MMORPG - No Fee.
Bit-tech has joined the flood and reviewed Guild Wars. They wrote this, maybe:
"Forget what you know about MMORPGs, because Guild Wars takes the concepts and throws them out of the window. Number One: there are no fees to pay each month. You pay for the game upfront, like any other game, then you play it online as much as you want. Number Two: forget spending ages on mundane tasks like sleeping, or healing, or crafting. In Guild Wars, you spend more of your time questing and less of your time fiddling. Number Three: don't worry about queuing to take on big quests. You won't be sharing them with others."

IGN has posted an impressions article covering World of Warcraft Battlegrounds. It goes something like this:
"You'll be entering an instance and will have to wait in a queue, and today it was a fairly long one, averaging 30-45 minutes before you could actually get in on the action. On the bright side, you don't have to stand there in the tunnel like a doofus--you can travel anywhere in the world, even another instance, and basically do whatever it is you would do, were you not waiting to get into the Valley. A small icon will be placed on your compass in the upper right-hand corner of the screen, telling you how long you've been waiting and when Blizzard estimates you'll be inside. You can also pop up a menu here that will allow you to leave the queue or enter another."

Promoting an Open Investment Policy to Create Jobs and Grow the Economy
Today, President Obama released a statement on the United States Commitment to Open Investment Policy. The CEA also released a report on the benefits of foreign-based companies investing in the United States (known more formally as "Inbound Foreign Direct Investment").
Our report highlights how the Administration's open investment policy allows foreign-based companies to grow and expand their businesses across the country. These companies are building new facilities, investing in research and development, and growing warehouses, sales offices and service centers—creating millions of high-quality, well-paying jobs for American workers. These firms paid out wages and other forms of compensation that averaged more than $71,000 per U.S. employee in 2008, as compared to average earnings of $54,000 for full-time annual workers in the economy as a whole.
The U.S. continues to receive the most foreign direct investment of any country in the world. In 2010, U.S. inbound foreign direct investment rebounded sharply and increased by 49 percent from the economic crisis level it reached in 2009. This investment is particularly important to the U.S. manufacturing sector. In 2008, the U.S. affiliates of foreign corporations employed 13 percent of the entire manufacturing workforce in the United States. And over 42 percent of the US affiliates' total value-added production in 2008 was concentrated in the U.S. manufacturing sector.
Last week, the President's Council on Jobs and Competitiveness put forward a set of ideas for accelerating private sector job growth, and one of their recommendations was further promoting foreign direct investment. Additionally, the Administration launched the SelectUSA Initiative to facilitate additional investment, reconfirming the federal government's commitment to an open investment climate.
To compete for the best jobs and to develop the industries of the future, the U.S. will continue to pursue an open investment climate to attract businesses to build, develop and expand their companies across the nation.

Gardasil--Merck's vaccine against cervical cancer--approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) earlier this month, should save lives in both developed and developing countries. But social and cultural resistance to the product may hamper effective roll-out, states the Editorial. The introduction of Gardasil in the USA is already proving problematic because adolescents need to receive the vaccine before they become sexually active for it to be effective. This means they would need to be taught about sex at the same time. Some believe sex education at this age would undermine abstinence education, and encourage inappropriate sexual activity at a young age.
The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation announced on June 5 that it will give US$27.7 million to PATH--the programme for appropriate technologies in health--to fund research on how best to introduce the new HPV vaccine into developing countries. The Lancet believes that Merck and GSK can assist in this work and help smooth the introduction of the new vaccine in both developing and rich nations alike.
The Lancet concludes: "Merck and GlaxoSmithKline--whose own vaccine Cervarix is expected to be submitted for FDA approval this year--therefore have an unique opportunity. By working with PATH to identify cultural, as well as economic, barriers to vaccine roll-out, these companies have the chance to show that enlightened self-interest is a policy position not reserved for governments alone.

- Study abroad for 7 credits

- Mostly finish my major writing assignment from June-August so that I can add an independent study to my schedule for next spring for 2 credits
- Hopefully get a 4 credit internship for next fall and spring
- Take 15 credits in the fall
- And depending on whether or not I get the internship, take anywhere from 14 (if I do) to 18 (if I don't)

|mangosteen 2006 pictures. Not my rarest plant but indeed my most precious. So much time and energy has been spent on these ladies.
It has really grown since last year.
A different angle.
I have some small two year old seedlings, they are still very small at this point. I think I had only 4-5 set of growth flush on them, not enough of an acid potting mix I think. I think most seem to take off a little faster at about the 3rd year mark.
Follow-Up Postings:
- Posted by tropicaliste 7 MD (My Page) on Fri, Aug 18, 06 at 2:29
|Eggo: What're your methods? Have a small seedling and would appreciate any tips. Thanks! :)
|Real nice bud. What's yer address out there? I mean... not that I would come by and take someone's mangosteen out of their yard or anything like that... you going away for a weekend anytime soon?
|Very nice Eggo-a happy mangosteen. Good job!
|tropicaliste, lots of shade, lots of humidity(enclosing a clear bag over them helps out alot if you don't have the humidity), and warmth. I have so far tend to stick to more organic fertilizer for mangosteen, they appear to have very sensitive roots.
Jay I think you got my address so don't be giving it out to any plant poachers, hehe.
- Posted by tropicaliste 7 MD (My Page) on Sun, Aug 20, 06 at 13:21
|Thank eggo! I had been contemplating putting a plastic bag over it, because that's how I keep my Lychees and Rambutan seedlings, and they're flourishing. Unfortunately I did that with my yet to sprout Pulasan, and they rotted. So if I get more Pulasan, I will not be putting a bag over the pot until they've sprouted. Oh, and thanks for the shade tip, mine's in almost full sun, and I wasn't sure what they liked.
BTW, I was at the Korean supermarket again, and finnnnally they had Longans again. I've been waiting for them since February, and apparently so has everyone else; people were picking at them with gusto, and I had to stand my ground until I was satisfied. $2.99 a lb. sweetened the deal. :)

|A very nice specimen, Eggo, one of the best I've seen. Congratulations! I think the most common problem experienced by folks in growing this ultratropical is the presence of browning leaves. Hardly a trace in your healthy looking plant!
- Posted by tropicaliste 7 MD (My Page) on Mon, Aug 21, 06 at 0:27
|Marcelo, I by utter and sheer chance, noticed your name when I was purchasing my Pulasan seeds, and I've been wondering if your's sprouted? Mine came slightly germinated, and well, I'm basically gonna have to reorder some more, lol. :)
|Trop, where do you order your pulsan seeds? I wold love to try and grow them in my gh. Do you know any cutural/growing info?
- Posted by maspirasjr zone 10a (My Page) on Mon, Aug 21, 06 at 18:33
|Tropicaliste, mine never did sprout, though I believe they were close to germinating. I suppose I'll have to try them again, but like their rambutan cousin, they are notoriously susceptible to mold.
Plummy, drop me an email and I'll tell you where you can get them.
|Thanks Marcelo. I've also had problems with the browning of leaves especially during winter. I think the culprits are cooler weather and a not so acidic PH soil. I had problems earlier in the year but it seems to be less of problem now.
- Posted by tropicaliste 7 MD (My Page) on Tue, Aug 22, 06 at 1:10
|Yup, I think that I put too much soil over them, which is weird for me. I watered them too much and put a bag over the pot. So basically I should have not hmmm babied them? I'll try again. You germinating anything else interesting, Marcelo? I like to see all the rare seedlings you sprout.

|I am embarassed to say that I had never heard of either mangosteen nor pulasan before today; I googled them and am fascinated! What cool looking fruits. Good luck! Why have I never heard of these? I live in the bay area, just outside Berkeley, where there is a large international population in addition to our sunset climate zone of 10a. Where have I been? We do have lychees, but not pulasan.

|Its coming up to the season for these here , yummmee
found a very large orchard of them not far away.
In between each Mangosteen tree there is a very large Cuban Royal Palm , planted for shading the young trees many years ago . The palms are now towering over the Mangosteens , and they look like they should yield a good crop. I hope they will sell seconds .

|Well unless for instance maybe you aren't from Asia or have never been, or are new to Tropical fruits, you wouldn't know. Mangosteens can't be imported from Asia at the moment, so you wouldn't see fresh ones in even the local Asian supermarket. There's been sitings of smuggled ones in Chinatown however and/or you're super rich or growing your own, you would not see a fresh (although you can buy whole frozen or canned) one within our borders. So don't feel embarrased. Same for Pulasan, it's not being imported fresh at the moment. Anywho, try growing them :)
|These were for sale at the local supermarket yesterday , Au$16,50 Kilo. got 4 fruits for $9 . very nice tasting .
- Posted by tropicaliste NY (My Page) on Fri, Sep 8, 06 at 17:57
|I scoured Canal Chinatown for these! I did not find a single one, but I did find Sweetsop and Atemoya $4 a piece! The Sweetsop was too woody, I don't think it was ripe. The Atemoya was fairly sweet.
- Posted by swvirginiadave z6 VA (My Page) on Sat, Sep 9, 06 at 10:09
|Is there some legitimate reason why importation of fresh mangosteens is banned in the U.S.?
|The U.S. agricultural department believes that the mangosteen can carry known pests that are damaging if introduced here. These pest can hide either beneath the petals or pericap. Besides irradiation they don't think there's any other way to introduce this fruit safely into U.S. markets.
|Do you know where i can buy some mangosteen trees?
- Posted by frootloopy 9b/10a (My Page) on Thu, Oct 5, 06 at 19:56
|nice looking mangosteen. legendary...yes...it is the holy grail of tropical fruit. Would love to try one. However, you should grow a 48-26 variety atemoya. Unbelievable fruit. very, very sweet, juicy and smooth soft texture. It kind of tastes like cotton candy. Way better than my Geffner atemoya or sugar apples. also, not hard to grow here in S. FL
|Nerotx, if you mean by trees, 4-6 inch seedlings and seeds, yes I do. But if your looking for larger specimens, its extremely hard to find. Just sent you an email.
Rusty, I have yet to sample an Atemoya. I would hopefully one day get to try some. I did obtain some seeds of a Taiwanese type of Atemoya, and hopefully see how that goes.
|hi, i think the only way to fruit mangosteen in a temperate or sub-tropical place is by planting grafted mangosteens. Why grafted mangosteens? because they can fruit in large pots and are great for indoor plants. The fact that they fruit in 3 years time. The only thing you need is a humidifier like a simple greenhouse with heating system. I think Jays' greenhouse is a great example. :)

|In Ottawa Canada, I can buy fresh Mangosteen in Asian store easily during a couple of months period of the year, usually in the fall. But yes, they are very pricy, 5.99CAD/lb. Sometimes, they are not very fresh, but most of the time, I can tell they are very fresh.
I germinated their seeds once about 5 years ago, it sprout in about 2 weeks then grew like crazy, shoot into two feet in about a year, but I swear to God, it didn't look anything close to eggo's. Mine has huge leaves, but very hairy not waxy, pale white hairy underside the leaves. Is it possible that the Mangosteen I have was grafted? So the seeds didn't come true.
|Do you know where I can buy some mangosteen seedling?
H Lee
|Try Bryon at Montoso Gardens in Puerto Rico.
|Thanks for such a fast reply, bud.
BTW, you know where I can buy the fruit here in the states?
|Try Montoso Gardens or Govardhan Gardens for seedlings and Ecuadorexplorer for seeds.
Henry, its almost impossible to find fresh fruits in the continental U.S. A trip to Canada would be your best bet. =)
"huge leaves, but very hairy not waxy, pale white hairy underside the leaves"
Berns, I got one grafted mangosteen, its still a slow grower and has not really taken off yet. I really do hope it fruits soon, seen a picture of a fruiting mangosteen in a pot before, the only catch was that plant was somewhere in Southeast Asia.
- Posted by yellowthumb 5a Ontario (My Page) on Wed, Nov 22, 06 at 18:53
|Henry, please don't go to Canada for Mangosteen now, It has been off the season for two weeks. The next time it's available would be next autumn, I will let you know or I can mail you some fresh seeds after I eat the Mangosteen, guranteed fresh. I heard if you keep them in moist peat, it can be viable for two weeks.
Eggo, thanks for the clarification. For 5 years, I thought Mangosteen is like tropical weeds, grow anywhere given sun and warmth. I don't know what those plants are then. They grew 3 feet in a very short time and almost choked my houseplants in the same container. They may be Eriobotrya Japonica though.
|Now after seeing Bill Whitman's mangosteen i have to say, your tree looks just like all the nice mangosteens I have seen only small. Just be patient , and you will have fruit.
- Posted by tropicdude (My Page) on Wed, Oct 1, 08 at 14:58
|Here is a link to a Mangosteen 'manual' with details on everything you could want to know on Mangosteen.
I just received some seeds a week ago, I followed instructions, and soaked seeds for over 12 hours, noticed that 4 of the 5 seeds already had a root sticking out each side of the seed already.
I found that odd, 2 roots on opposite sides of the seeds ( tips ).
From what I have read on Mangosteen seeds, they loose viability very quickly ( 3-5 days) unless kept moist.
The seeds I ordered came from an Ebay'er from Malaysia, the seeds came packed in sealed plastic bags, with moist peat.
According to seller, if packaged this way they can remain viable for about 50 days, which is a good thing, as they took over 2 weeks to arrive.
Here is a link that might be useful: Mangosteen Manual
|Seeds already rooting is a very good sign of healthy seeds. Keep the humidity and heat up and they will do fine. Then start chanting "patience, patience, patience"!

Will Smith to Play America's 37th Black Movie President in 'Independence Day' Sequels
Thursday, September 30 by
Director Roland Emmerich wants Will Smith to be president. Luckily, he's a kraut, so he can't vote in our bad-ass American elections. However, there's nothing stopping him from making Will Smith president in the magical world of make believe.
MTV is now reporting that Emmerich was so inspired by the election of Barack Obama that he will cast Will Smith as the president in the planned sequels to his 1996 blockbuster, Independence Day….cause he's black, I guess. This brings up an interesting question. If McCain had won, would Randy Quaid's character, a deranged fighter pilot who was once held prisoner by aliens, be the president instead? If so, I'd like to go back and changed my vote. Sorry, Cynthia McKinney. (Cinema Blend)

Emma Thompson Lends Acting Skills to 'Men In Black 3′
Thursday, September 30 by
Emma Thompson has signed on to head up the Men in Black. The British actress who last played ugly, but I'm sure charming in her own right, Nanny McPhee will play Oh in Men in Black 3. Thompson will be the new boss in charge, as Rip Torn can no longer be trusted to keep a super secret government agency on the rails **mimes taking swig of whisky**. Good luck getting Tommy Lee Jones to take orders from a woman. He's going to scowl a whole lot more than usual. (Deadline)
Universal Buys Gritty 'Snow White and the Huntsman'
Thursday, September 30 by
My problem with Snow White has always been that it's severely lacking in mixed martial arts. That won't be a problem anymore. Universal just plunked down more cash than any of us will ever see to buy the rights to Snow White and the Huntsman.
The script, written by Greyskull's Evan Daugherty, reimagines the classic by having Snow White team up with the Huntsman who was ordered to kill her. They live in the forest together where he trains her to fight and survive, and hopefully build up a tolerance to apple poison. Rupert Sanders is attached to direct, with no talent lined up just yet. I'd like to suggest Krysten Ritter and Bear Grylls. If there's anyone who can build a shelter out of dwarf carcasses, it's that guy. (Deadline)
Review: 'Family Guy: Partial Terms of Endearment'
Thursday, September 30 by
"Partial Terms of Endearment" is "Family Guy's" notorious abortion episode that Fox refused to air. If you're a "Family Guy" fan, you'll probably agree it's just another case of overreacting. "Partial Terms" is just an average episode, not even as offensive as previous abortion references have been.
Most of the episode isn't even about abortion. It begins with Peter going to Lois's college reunion and meeting Naomi, the one girl she experimented with. The first act is about Peter thinking he's going to have a three way, which only entails typical porno cliché jokes. Of course, being "Family Guy" they still manage to get an SS reference in with the porno jokes.

'The Munsters' Are Going To Be A Thing Again
Thursday, September 30 by
Many have voiced concerns that Fox's premature cancelation of the critically-acclaimed "Lone Star" will water down the presence of creativity in the network television landscape. If this next item is any indicator, eff yeah it will.
Because there are no original ideas allowed anymore and because this was such a big hit, NBC has announced plans to team with Bryan Fuller to bring back "The Munsters." Wow. A rehash of a lame 1960's sitcom about a family of monsters and their one hot relative does not sound appealing at all. Besides, it's totally redundant to have this on television while "Keeping Up With The Kardashians" is still airing. (EW)
Fantastic Fest: 100 Best Kills Party
Thursday, September 30 by
The 100 Best Kills Party at Fantastic Fest was more of a sit down show than a party. It had tickets, attendees sat in a movie theater and Alamo Drafthouse hosts Zack and Lars introduced footage on the screen. I thought I knew movies, but very few of the clips they showed were movies I'd seen or heard of, so it was an educational presentation that will increase my Netflix queue exponentially.

'My Generation' Actress Daniella Alonso
Thursday, September 30 by Col. Longshanks
From The Hills Have Eyes 2, Wrong Turn 2, The Collector and Snoop Dogg's Hood of Horror, Daniella Alonso has seen her fair share of parts in B horror movies. She now is part of the new docudrama ensemble on ABC's "My Generation" this fall, which from the pilot episode looks like she'll be back to doing B-horror movies in no time.

Fantastic Fest: 'Jackass 3D' Footage Preview. Steve-O Says James Cameron Can Suck His D*ck
Thursday, September 30 by
Listen, I thought Jackass #2 was the best movie of 2006 and I stand by that. It was so creative with stunts, well performed, artistically composed and put together. It has motifs and plays with its own format. They've taken it to the next level of what entertainment should be and I fully expect Jackass 3D to be just as awesome in 2D, but a well deserved spoof of the 3D movement.
At Fantastic Fest Secret Screening #3, Steve-O introduced some preview footage from Jackass 3D. It was the same reel they showed at the beer party at San Diego Comic Con, but if you didn't get to see that I'll describe it for you again. But first, he did a live Jackass stunt, lighting his hair on fire with hairspray, then having his buddy blow a fireball off it. Sorry, my camera missed the fireball but you can still see his head on fire.
The video and more after the jump…
Sam Raimi Is Assembling 'Earth Defense Force'
Thursday, September 30 by
"I'ma step out for a few, and I want all this sh*t cleaned up by the time I get back."
Would you guys go see Battleship if Sam Raimi produced or directed it? Because he's pretty much doing that. He's not involved in Battleship per se, but he and District 9 producer Bill Block are working together to get the sci-fi epic EDF (Earth Defense Force) off the ground.
The story sounds like the usual aliens vs. Earth fare. It begins when a squad of aviators venture into Chinese waters to rescue a submarine's distress call. When they get there, the Chinese attack. Naturally, it's all an alien trap that both sides have foolishly walked into and they are blown out of the sky. Then the aliens go and jack up a bunch of landmarks and military bases before disappearing. Earth then must put its differences aside and pull it together before the aliens return and house our remaining landmarks. F*cking aliens, man. No word yet on whether Raimi will direct but it's more likely he will serve as a producer. At any rate, let's hope Bruce Campbell still has that Admiral costume from a few Halloweens ago. (Vulture)
Get Magically Whisked Away to 'MYST' the Movie
Thursday, September 30 by
Memories, like the corners of my mind. Misty water-colored memories…
Here's something you think would have happend sooner. MYST, the all-time top selling computer adventure game franchise, is getting the live action movie treatment. Why it took Hollywood so long to scoop this property up is baffling. "All-time top selling" should be enough to have execs diving for their fountain pens. One problem though. How the hell do you adapt a game about a guy discovering crap on an island? How, Deadline?!
One focus of the film will be the influence of a human who entered Myst and inadvertently brought down the civilization. The filmmakers will draw the plot from the mythology within the games, as well as a trilogy of companion novels Cyan Worlds published around them. Players enter a highly atmospheric world and solve a series of puzzles that unlock secrets to this mysterious world. Players can liberate characters trapped inside of books, but have to decide which ones are good and evil.
Books? Puzzles? This is beginning to sound an awful lot like learning. Come to think of it, the game MYST felt like learning too… My God, I was duped. All these years I thought MYST was pure mindless entertainment and it turns out I was building up my problem solving skills. First the "Lost" series finale and now this. I never want to visit a fictional island ever again!
Old White Man Casting News: Hopkins Doing '360′, Plummer Getting 'Dragon Tattoo'
Thursday, September 30 by
Today in Old White Man Casting News, Anthony Hopkins has joined Rachel Weisz in Fernando Meirelles' 360, and Christopher Plummer has signed on for David Fincher's The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. Good for these two AARP card carrying members. They know the true secret to not dying: keep working!
Anthony Hopkins is the first of many that will be cast in the Peter Morgan-scripted 360, as the movie revolves around ten characters. It "examines sexual morals within and between social classes, using various pairs of characters who have sexual encounters in and outside of their social classes." No word yet who Hopkins will be banging, but I've been told one of the characters is named The Whore. So maybe Lindsay Lohan.
In Dragon Tattoo, Christopher Plummer will play the wealthy industrialist who hires Daniel Craig and Rooney Mara to solve a 40-year-old murder. In the process, they find all kinds of deep, dark, effed up secrets in his family. Plummer seems like the perfect person for the role. His character has to get out a lot of exposition, and he should do just fine keeping the viewer intrigued. When Plummer gets intense it's as if he could hit you with a switch at any moment. (/Film, THR)
13 Classic Cinematic Betrayals
Thursday, September 30 by
Tomorrow, The Social Network hits theaters, and if the early buzz is any indication, it should be a major success. Even if it fails to deliver at the box office, critical reception has been so positive that the film is already considered an Oscar contender. And it's easy to see why. After all, who doesn't love a good story of betrayal? While the events depicted in The Social Network are hotly contested by Facebook co-creator Mark Zuckerberg, a film involving friends back stabbing friends over a billion dollar idea seems a lot more watchable than a film about some guys coding a website.
In honor of The Social Network, here are 13 classic betrayals from the world of cinema.
Tony Curtis Has Died
Thursday, September 30 by
More bleak news to report as this week has claimed another celebrity. In addition to Gloria Stuart, Sally Menke, and Greg Giraldo, Hollywood legend Tony Curtis has also passed. Best known for his roles in Spartacus, Some Like It Hot, Sweet Smell Of Success, The Defiant Ones, and The Bad New Bears Go To Japan, Curtis proved himself an effortless performer in both drama and comedy. Then there was Lobster Man From Mars.
A representative for daughter Jamie Lee Curtis confirmed the news of his passing this morning. He was 85. (ET)

Samsung defends crown in tougher smartphone market
Published on Feb 24, 2014 11:08 PM
BARCELONA (AFP) - Samsung defends its crown as the world's top smartphone maker on Monday, unveiling a new premier smartphone in the face of tougher markets and a rising challenge from China.
On the opening day of the four-day Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, Spain, the South Korean giant launches its flagship device, almost certainly a Galaxy S5 smartphone rumoured to be equipped with a fingerprint scanner and larger screen.
Samsung's brand was stamped on more than 30 per cent of smartphones sold in the world last year, about twice the share of archrival Apple, which traditionally skips the world's largest mobile fair.
Despite Samsung's dominance, early signs are emerging of difficult times ahead.

Even A Collapsed Roof Won't Stop Snooki From Partying!
Last night, Jersey Shore stars Snooki and Vinny hosted a party at Solo restaurant in Manhattan to celebrate Purim, a Jewish costume celebration, along with "Sex and the City" actor Chris Noth. However, things didn't go as planned for the celebs and the 300 party guests!
Around 11:30, shards of glass began raining on top of partiers heads from the atrium in the Madison Avenue building, which was immediately evacuated. It's not confirmed why the ceiling collapsed, but our guess is that the levels of fist pumping going on was just wayyyy too hot to handle.
And don't worry—Snooki and Vinny are just fine, and there were only minor injuries among the clubgoers. Snookers tweeted after the fiasco,
Omg roof just collapsed at the purim event! We thought the dj was beatin the beat hardcore but nope,the roof couldn't handle snooki and vin"
The roof may have fallen and no1got hurt, but the party still goes on! With @jealous1senv @vinnyguadagnino @talentresources, missing @akrpr
I'm glad everyone's ok. Thank you to the owners of Solo Restaurant for taking care of everybody and letting us keep the Purim Party poppin!
We're glad they're okay!

Important Notice : Avoiding Fraud
It's rare, but some helpful hints to watch out for with regards to fraud:
- It is important to NEVER wire funds or use/employ other fund transfer mechanisms such as western union: Always use a credit card to protect yourself against fraud. If owners pressure you into providing a deposit or refuse to accept credit cards, there is a high probability that this is a scam.
- If at all suspicious of fraud, ask to see their website, or any other literature they can provide or send to you. Ask them for contact details for guests who have previously stayed on their property insisting on telephone numbers. Be suspicious of emails that originate from free email services (yahoo, hotmail, gmail, etc)
- Research the property thoroughly on the internet to see if there is any history or mention of scams associated with the property.

All quotes tagged Socialism
(1267 quotes found)
"Consciously or unconsciously, everyone of us does render some service or another. If we cultivate the habit of doing this service deliberately, our desire for service will steadily grow stronger, and it will make not only for our own happiness, but that of the world at large."
"The assumption that spending more of the taxpayer's money will make things better has survived all kinds of evidence that it has made things worse. The black family- which survived slavery, discrimination, poverty, wars and depressions- began to come apart as the federal government moved in with its well-financed programs to "help.""
"Teach this triple truth to all: A generous heart, kind speech, and a life of service and compassion are the things which renew humanity."
"The difference between Democrats and Republicans is: Democrats have accepted some ideas of Socialism cheerfully, while Republicans have accepted them reluctantly"
"To teach a man how he may learn to grow independently, and for himself, is perhaps the greatest service that one man can do another."
"They want the federal government controlling Social Security like it's some kind of federal program."
"Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy, its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery."
