Hinoki Kogei x Peter Marigold collaboration
Japan, like Italy, has a long tradition of highly-skilled craftsmen and specialty manufacturers. On trend with the larger design community, Japanese designers and manufacturers are working hand-in-hand to elevate public consciousness about the techniques and artistry indigenous to their native crafts. One organization that is doing just this is Japan Creative. Following last year's tsunami disasters, the organization was founded to, "1) rediscover at a fundamental level in the modern world the distinguished aestehetics and tradition-oriented skills of the Japanese, and 2) create and present ideas and products from a new perspective."
Last week in Milan, the first exhibition of Japan Creative was held showcasing prototypes for six specialty product collaborations: Oigen x Jasper Morrison, Hinoki Kogei x Peter Marigold, Pioneer x Paul Cocksedge, Mihoya Glass x Yeongkyu Yoo, Koubei-gama x Inga Sempé and Dome Carbon Magic x Nacho Carbonell. The exhibition, Simple Vision, emphazies the aesthetics that Japanese design is known for: simple, space-efficient and multifunctional, while examining the possibilities found at the intersection of contemporary design and traditional craft. Check out Japan Creative's website for more beautiful process photography from the designers' visits with the manufacturers.
We wrote about the 160-year-old Oigen Foundary's beautiful and functional cast iron cookware last month at the International Home + Housewares Show. Morrison, who is known for his highly functional designs for everyday objects, created a beautiful collection of cast iron cookware that feels both modern and timeless. I especially like the stove-to-oven pot and lid with an integrated wooden serving tray that holds the lid for elegant tabletop presentation.
Dome Carbon Magic creates lightweight and structurally stable carbon fiber developed for high performing racing cars. Their collaboration with avant-garde design darling Nacho Carbonell, created a beautiful seating collection that, "emits a sound using the resilient properties of carbon fiber."
Hinoki Kogei is Japan's leading woodwork factory, founded in 1977 by Chuzo Tozawa. A true collaboration, British designer Peter Marigold was so inspired by the artisanal approach to woodworking he witnessed at Hinoki Kogei, that Chuzo and Marigold began a conversation to incorporate a woodwork technique that has been used since ancient times. The final product beautifully highlights the unique characteristics of each piece of wood.
Paul Cocksedge used Pioneer's organic-EL technology to create a graceful wall clock that radiates soft light on a paper shade. The organic-EL technology makes it possible for one panel to emit light in different colors.
Microsoft industrial designer Yeongkyu Yoo worked with Mihoya Glass to create a luminous double-walled lamp that looks like a bubble erupting from the surface of the table.
Founded in 1804, Koubei-gama ceramics has an incredible history that includes manufacturing painted dishes for the Edo castle and acting as a steward for the ancient technique of creating Oribe ware. Oribe pottery is known for its green copper glaze achieved by firing using oxidation. In collaboration with French designer Inga Sempé, the Container Family incorporates beautiful pop colors and patterns.

What is music to us? To quote Bill Harvey (in part), "What is it about music that gets us in these nice moods, or helps us to loosen up and move without fear?" In other words music gives us confidence and happiness. Well, I believe that it is the way the composer has used the notes; the ones that resonate with feelings you hold in your soul. If I am feeling down, I often listen to slow, heartwarming music, because the notes are sympathetic to what I feel. The music helps us to reach and express what is held inside of us.
Good music is relaxing, a release of tension. Without music our life would not be the same. Our everyday lives are filled with sounds of music. We drive with our radios tuned to the station (and music) we love. We dance, walk, strut, sit, tap our foot, clap, wave our hand, hug, laugh, and pray - all to music.
I love to play music because I lose myself to the beat, to the harmony and to the breathing of the other musicians. I've learned, literally, to play well with others, as my mother used to admonish me.
The best music is made when the players breathe together, or as George Sinkler (pianist) tells it, we dance together. There is simply not a better feeling. I close my eyes and I am one with the other players and the audience. We all feel and know when we have reached that inner space together. We glow in mutual applause.
That's why we have music; at least that's the "why" for me. Jazz, the only American invention in music, has become an integral part of our life and the lifeblood of music in our lives. My wish is to bring this feeling, this togetherness, and this community to as many people as possible. This is my goal. —A message from founder, Alan Segal

"Captain Ahab was neither my first husband nor my last," says Una Spenser, the eponymous narrator, in the first sentence of this deliciously old-fashioned bildungsroman, adventure story and romance. Naslund's inspiration, based on one reference in Moby-Dick, may not satisfy aficonados of Melville's dense, richly symbolic masterpiece, but it should please most other readers with its suspenseful, affecting, historically accurate and seductive narrative.

In late fall, I went to an estate sale that featured a lot of Christmas items. Among them was a small box with candles and a "musical glockenspiel." I remembered my grandmother having one of these and as a child being mesmerized by the way the little metal angels moved around, ringing the bells. I just had to have it and the price was quite reasonable.
We were recently putting up our Christmas decorations, but before we finished, I came across the "angel chimes" on the shelf near our candles. I was so happy! Hubby looked at it and at first did not understand the concept. I told him how it would work, asked him to finish the "assemblage" and came back later. But to my surprise, it was not put together! This was most unusual since he is very much the engineer and is known as "the papa that can fix anything." But alas, this was not one of the items he could fix. That's because there was a little rod missing! I was very disappointed, but vowed to find another one down the road.
It raised my level of curiosity about these charming little holiday pieces. There are a lot of sites on the Internet that sell them and I may just bite the bullet and get another one (after confirming that it is complete). Their history is quite fascinating. They originated in Germany and were very popular, being manufactured until World War II. After that, the export business dropped off and most of this type of item was made in other countries. This was in part due to the war but also because the 1905 design patents for these (to German toy maker Adrian & Stock) was ending. Most of the ones we see now are from Sweden and very new products are from China.
As soon as I get one up and running, I'll be glad to hear the questions from the grandchildren. They'll surely want to know how this turns without a battery or plug-in, why the angels can make the little chimes work, and probably, "how old is that?" Their mechanics are pretty simple – the candles are lit and this causes a turbine at the top to turn. This powers a series of brass angels, who move around in a circle and strike the little chimes. The result is a lovely tinkling sound!
These are so charming and remain popular today, based on the number of them for sale in stores and sites. A sure-fire conversation piece and once again, listen for the "Oh, we had one of those" from visitors.

I have a few 45 gallon plastic barrels that I obtained from a car wash that were used to store windshield washer fluid and I'm wondering if they would be safe for rainwater collection to water my veggie garden if they are properly rinsed out.
I've done some googling to try and find out but so far no luck. |
Follow-Up Postings:
I wouldn't use them unless it says that the windshield washing fluid is safe for drinking. You could use them to water non edibles, but I wouldn't use them for veggies. |
- Posted by dan_staley USDA 5/S 2b (My Page) on Tue, Mar 3, 09 at 15:56
I wouldn't. Dan |
I think you got good answers to this on the veggie forum. I'd listen to them. |
- Posted by engineeredgarden 7, nw Alabama (My Page) on Tue, Mar 3, 09 at 18:19
Nick - I would see if there was anything that would neutralize the residual chemical. Kinda like the way baking soda does battery acid... EG |
- Posted by dan_staley USDA 5/S 2b (My Page) on Tue, Mar 3, 09 at 18:54
I agree with EG, altho unless there is an ingredients label, you are talking about the safety of your family & you have no idea what the constituents of the chemical are. I wouldn't risk it for my family. Not even the MIL. Dan |
- Posted by garycinchicago Z5 Chicago IL. (My Page) on Tue, Mar 3, 09 at 19:29
Windshield washer fluid is made with isopropyl alcohol. It evaporates. A 10% chlorine bleach solution will fix any residual. |
I can't imagine that if you cleaned the barrell that there would be any ill effects. It seems that windshield washing fluid is basically soap and alcohol mix. I'm no scientist but wouldn't that just wash away and leave no trace? Even if there was a tiny bit of residual, it's probably no worse than what we get in straight rainwater. |

Dan, paint 'em. That's what I'll have to do no matter what color I get, hehe. |

Ha I am the better half and my hubby is putting mine together for my birthday. I happen to like that shade of blue. Of course my lilac will hide it from the street and neighbors come spring so I did take some of that into consideration. He did suggest I paint the rain diverter we bought. I have some blue paint on hand :) My spouts are dark brown so the blue will be a bit better. I am also going to add some decorative river rocks to the top for the sound and ascetics. Impressive info Gary, this post was very informative. |
I still wouldn't do it. Windshield washer fluids have additives to them and are not just alcohol. Most contain MONOETHANOLAMINE which is toxic and in the amine family (same as ammonia). Like I said, if it says do not ingest on the label, then I would stay away. At the least, try to find the MSDS on what was in the barrel and see what it rates the health effects as. Is it really worth your life or a family members life to save a few bucks? |
- Posted by HillBillyJeff (My Page) on Thu, Feb 20, 14 at 13:37
I just picked up some of these barrels today, I will be bottom watering plants out of these barrels. Has anyone else used these kind of barrels and what all did you use to clean them out with? Much appreciated. |
- Posted by cold_weather_is_evil Tucson Arizona (My Page) on Thu, Mar 13, 14 at 23:11
"you are what you eat" Obnoxious (but true) slogans aside, those barrels could have contained ANYTHING. From Medline: "Windshield washer fluid is a brightly colored liquid made of methanol, a poisonous alcohol. Sometimes small amounts of other toxic alcohols such as ethylene glycol are added to the mixture...Some young children may mistake the fluid for juice, which can lead to accidental poisoning. Even small amounts can cause significant damage." The barrels will not be poisonous at all, as long as you believe that there is an exposure threshold you're not exceeding. However, we are exposed to toxic chemicals constantly day after day and I believe that it's not a good idea to deliberately add more crap to that (very thin but real) toxic assault. You gotta draw a line somewhere, and using a castoff from the chemical industry to saturate food plant roots is just asking for trouble. |
- Posted by greasybeans (My Page) on Tue, Mar 18, 14 at 11:28
Why risk it when the point of gardening is to eat healthy? Did you know you could make your own inexpensive rain barrels out of new garbage cans? Family Handyman had an article on how to do it. It showed you how to cut a hole out of the top to allow your gutter to flow into it and cut one at the bottom to install a faucet. It was very easy. |

CRESTWOOD – The Greater Oldham County middle school baseball league has grown by a team this year.
The league now features a team from East Oldham Middle School joining clubs from North Oldham, Oldham County and South Oldham middle schools.
Last year the league had a combined team with East Oldham and Oldham County middle school students.
"We're very pleased East was able to field a team this year. It just helps baseball in the county get a little better," Aaron Beard, one of the league's founders, said.
GOSHEN – While officials with the state's high school athletic association are satisfied, the issue of unequal facilities at North Oldham High School may soon move to federal court.
NOHS parent Dick Richards, who has a daughter on the Lady Mustangs' track team, said he plans to pursue the fight against what he calls "blatant discrimination" against female athletes at NOHS.
A busy spring sports season is about to start with baseball, softball, track and tennis opening next week.
Spring is known as a time of renewal and a time for young love and the North Oldham High School baseball and softball teams got their respective seasons off to a memorable start March 6 at the second Battle of the Sexes game.
While the baseball team managed a 6-1 win over the softball team, the big winner of the day may have been NOHS senior pitcher Mike Gant.
DRY RIDGE — South Oldham High School's basketball teams led the way in post-season honors this year.
SOHS senior Jordann McGuffin was named the Kentucky Association of Basketball Coaches Player of the Year for the Eighth Region. She receives the automatic tryout for the Kentucky All-Star team for the annual summer series with Indiana.
You have to be impressed with the South Oldham Dragons' drive to the regional basketball finals.
SOHS' 76-70 loss to pre-season favorite Shelby County did little to dim the outstanding season fueled by SOHS' eight-man senior class that won a school record 27 games against just six losses. In the end, it was Shelby's edge in athleticism that carried the day.
Emerson wins middle school title
When: Feb. 27.
Where: Frankfort Civic Center.
What: Oldham County Middle School's Brady Emerson won the middle school state wrestling title at 82 pounds Feb. 27 in Frankfort.
Emerson led a local contingent of seven wrestlers who won medals include second place finishers John Shirkey of East Oldham at 96 pounds and Mitch Rusch of North Oldham at 110 pounds.
CRESTWOOD – South Oldham High School has hired Jamie Reed as the new football coach.
Reed, 33, comes to SOHS from Georgia. The move to Oldham County puts him closer to his wife's family in Cincinnati and gives him a second head-coaching job.
"I am going on my 11th season as a coach and the closest we have ever been is about six hours away," he said "We have three children and you just need some family around sometimes."
Reed said Oldham County fits the profile his family was looking for.
GOSHEN – After four years as the head of the North Oldham High School boys' basketball program, Danny Edelen is moving on.
Edelen resigned Monday.
"It's time to move on to the next challenge," Edelen said.
Edelen posted a 60-53 record as the NOHS coach with his team going 20-9 and winning the district title in the 2007-08 season. NOHS went to three regional tourneys during Edelen's tenure.
The Mustangs finished a turbulent 12-16 year Feb. 4 with a first-round regional tourney loss to Shelby County.
LOUISVILLE – With seven returning players and the addition of several middle school players, the Oldham County Hockey Club won its second straight state Sunday with an 12-1 win over Lexington Lafayette.
"The season worked out well for the team," Oldham County coach John Olivet said. "It was a very enjoyable year."
Oldham County posted a 19-0-2 mark this season and dominated their three games in the state tourney outscoring opponents 29-2.

257 Walker to Evatt
Cablegram 43 PARIS, 1 March 1947, 9.05 p.m.
In accordance with your instructions I saw Monsieur Bidault today.
He was very pleased to receive your personal message, and asked me to convey to you his warm greeting.
2. We discussed the lack of progress being made in arranging a democratic procedure for full participation of all active belligerents in negotiation [of the Peace]' treaties. M. Bidault said the French Government was in complete agreement with Australia on the principle involved, but the difficulty was to persuade the Soviet to accept any practical arrangements to give effect to it. He admitted that the French proposals by no means provided for adequate participation by countries such as Australia, but he begged us to consider them as an attempt made in the course of discussion, and in the light of the Soviet attitude to gain at least some ground for democratic principle. He added that there were bound to be several sessions of the Council of Foreign Ministers before this question of procedure was settled, and that Australia would have plenty of time to criticize particular proposals made and to submit alternatives.
3. I then referred to the emergence of the conception of certain neighbours of Germany as being more directly interested than distant countries such as Australia despite the greater contribution of the latter to the defeat of Germany. I said that such a conception would not be admitted by the Australian people who had voluntarily waged war with large forces against Germany, even though they knew that in doing so, they were exposing Australian territory to grave danger from Japanese aggression. I suggested that it would have most unfortunate consequences if Australia and the other Dominions were obliged to believe that their help was welcome, when there was fighting to be done, but not when it came to planning peace. I drew attention to the danger from Australia's own viewpoint that if the Dominions do not participate fully in the negotiation of the Peace, they cannot feel so responsible for whatever settlement is adopted, and may lose their present interest in the problem of European security.
4. M. Bidault repeated his assurance that France recognised both Australia's right to full participation in view of her massive contribution in both wars, and also the importance of retaining Australia's voluntary interest in the European settlement and said he would continue the struggle to secure the adoption of more democratic procedure.
5. I suggested that not sufficient weight had been given to the positive contribution that Australia and the Dominions can make to the solution of many problems arising in connection with Germany and Austria. I stressed the advantage of bringing to bear an independent view based on a wider perspective than could be had from Germany's neighbours and reminded M. Bidault that Australia and some of the other Dominions had special knowledge and experience of problems of federal Government which throw important light upon such proposals as those recently made by France regarding Germany's constitution.
I said it would be most imprudent not to take full advantage of our knowledge when considering whether the treaty should impose a constitution upon Germany. This point appeared to be a new one to M. Bidault and to impress him as important. You may consider it worth following up in other quarters also.
6. I drew special attention to your views that a general conference was essential as well as adequate arrangements for participation in detailed preparation work.
M. Bidault said he agreed and had even considered the possibility of referring some of the wider issues to the United Nations. I replied that Australia stood on her rights as an active belligerent which were quite different from those of members of the United Nations which had merely declared war.
7. We touched also on Austria. I said that Australia's views of procedure were similar to those relating to Germany. M. Bidault said he did not regard Austria as so important and that although he had no objection to the Dominions taking part in the conference on Austria, he was concerned over the tactics that would be followed by Ukraine and White Russia. He went on to say that he had received reports that the Soviet intended shortly to ask him to receive separate diplomatic representatives from all sixteen republics of the Union. If true this may indicate a most important development of Soviet policy.
8. The interview closed with M. Bidault's renewed assurance that he agreed with you in principle, and would do his best to achieve a true diplomatic procedure. Meanwhile he would welcome any detailed views you might wish to send him.

Coral Sinclair is a beautiful but naÏve twenty-five-year-old photographer who has just lost her father. She's leaving the life she's known and traveling to Kenya to take ownership of her inheritance--the plantation that was her childhood home--Mpingo. On the voyage from England, Coral meets an enigmatic stranger to whom she has a mystifying attraction. She sees him again days later on the beach near Mpingo, but Coral's childhood nanny tells her the man is not to be trusted. It is rumored that Rafe de Monfort, owner of a neighboring plantation and a nightclub, is a notorious womanizer having an affair with her stepmother, which may have contributed to her father's death.
Circumstance confirms Coral's worst suspicions, but when Rafe's life is in danger she is driven to make peace. A tentative romance blossoms amidst a meddling ex-fiancé, a jealous stepmother, a car accident, and the dangerous wilderness of Africa. Is Rafe just toying with a young woman's affections? Is the notorious womanizer only after Coral's inheritance? Or does Rafe's troubled past color his every move, making him more vulnerable than Coral could ever imagine?
Set in 1970, this contemporary historical romance sends the seemingly doomed lovers down a destructive path wrought with greed, betrayal, revenge, passion, and love.

I'm going to have to remove a lot of the suckers that are crowding the bottom to give the fruits a better chance at developing. |
tropicalbreeze, That's really nice. I'm always happy to see a banana blooming. Do you know which variety it belongs to? I started planting a lot of varieties back in 2005. With my weather here, I've found that only Raja Puri will bear fruit for me every year. |
- Posted by tropicbreezent (My Page) on Fri, Mar 22, 13 at 23:18
Thanks Bananafan. It's what's called Lady Fingers here. They're very common, grow tall but produce small bunches of small fruit. But it's very sweet. That's why some people call it Sugar Banana. |
Hello bananafan & tropibreeze! I inherited two banana colonies at the end of my property at the waters edge. I live on a canal here in West Ftl. When we first moved in we thought they were only Ornamental palms but as i started gardening and fertilizing, more and more cannons started to develop. The trees are a dwarf variety. I am pretty sure i have two types. With one slightly larger and more plump than the other. All the same both are delicious and grow well together. They get their own water from the canal, the suckers grow up and replace the stalls that must be cut once it bares a cannon. Extremely ornamental & delicious! |
- Posted by tropicbreezent (My Page) on Fri, Mar 29, 13 at 8:53
Vince, you're lucky to have had someone already pick out a couple of good varieties for you. And then to have water right at your feet, so to speak. Well, at the feet of the bananas, they do like a lot of water. I have to do a lot of irrigating during the dry season, my soil just doesn't retain moisture, and our dry season is very dry. This is today's photo of the developing bunch. Being "Lady Fingers" they won't develop a big bunch anyway. |
Thanks Tropic! Yes, I love having the variety that is already there. They def do taste different from the store bought Cavendish variety. They are a small variety of fruit with stalks that rarely get over 4 feet on one variety and 6 ft on the other. |
Tropicalbreeze, Yes, Lady Fingers do produce small bunch of berries and they're sweet too. Even my bunny loves it! It actually is a more willing fruit producer than the others, but less so than my Raja Puri which fruits every growing season. I started out collecting more than 20 varieties of bananas when I started my tropical planting and that's how I got my name :) Over time, I narrowed down to a few varieties that will fruit more regularly for me as I'm running out of space for them. They need a lot of space to spread out when their mats grow larger. My Lady Fingers did fruit in 2011 and last year too and they're in a small mat of 3-4 now. Here's a picture of one taken in 2011. |
Vince, Thanks for sharing the beautiful pictures of your bananas. You sure did inherit a treasure in your backyard. The water way truly is a natural way of irrigating the bananas which they love all the time. It also can provide humidity in the warmer days and and warm up the surrounding temperature a tad during the colder weather days. I'd like to think that yours are the dwarf Cavendish, but since you said they weren't, I'm wondering if they are a Raja Puri which is what I have in my yard and that grows 4-6 ft in height. Anyway, here's a picture I took of my Raja Puri. Does any of yours look like them? |
Hi banfan! To be honest, I don't know for sure. Your beautiful picture of the banana's flowering look a little different than mine. Maybe it is a dwarf Cavendish, or raja puri. One type is a small stalk and tiny fruit, the other is a little larger at about 6ft with hand length slightly plumper fruit. Both are delicious! |
Vince, The fruiting picture I posted earlier was a Lady Fingers. The picture you posted here shows a plant with thick stem--much like my Raja Puri. Bananas do look so much alike and it's hard to decipher one way or another. Some are able to tell apart one variety from another, but not me lol. Anyway, your bunches of bananas look healthy and plum there. You should be having some nice tasting fruit soon. Here's an older picture of my Raja Puri fruiting. |

The flower bud has stopped developing fruit so I've cut it off. Lets the energy of the plant go into the existing fruit rather than being dropped as waste (or mulch, which isn't really waste). |

That is very awesome!! I can't wait for my dwarf to start producing!! Grats!! |
The berries are looking nice, tropicalbreeze. They sure have grown a lot in the short period of time. I'm sure you're looking forward to the first harvest of your own home grown nanas. |
- Posted by tropicbreezent (My Page) on Wed, May 8, 13 at 22:53
iKandyXotics, thanks. Feed it well and it'll do well. Bananafan, that first part is always fast, now they've settled back into a slower pace. I've actually been growing my own bananas most of my life, off and on. Some places where I've lived it hasn't been practical to do it. I also like drying them, after they've been soaked in lime (or lemon) juice. Today's photo. We're only a few weeks off winter so the wind is really getting to the leaves and making them look tatty. |

Just updating again. We're almost on the shortest day and approaching mid winter. The bananas don't seem to be doing much, still haven't filled out. The largest pup is now close to the size of the mother plant. Wouldn't be surprised if it starts flowering, before the mother's finished fruiting. I've been spreading some wood ash around them which they like. Also have to start thinking about covering the fruit. Flying Foxes and birds like to start taking bites well before they ripen. Yesterday's photo. |
They are looking good Tropicalbreeze. I hope the flying fox and birds don't get to them before you cover them. What kind of cover do you use? Back in 2009, we saw some rats running around our Raja Puri and I didn't want to take the chance and harvested the stalk while bananas were still green. A week later, they all turned yellow. At harvest time, they berries were exactly 4 months from bloom time. |
- Posted by tropicbreezent (My Page) on Sun, Jun 23, 13 at 9:02
I'll just put a fertiliser bag around them (cut through the bottom, put around the bunch and the end tied around the stalk). One end stays open to allow air exchange and stop them over heating. The birds pick out the colour difference and then investigate. Flying Foxes are night foragers so rely more on scent. But they still pick out fruit while it's still green. They really get nto my mangos while they're still as hard as wood. The bag seems to confuse them so they give up and fly off to find something easier. The pup's trunk is now nearly the height of the mother plant, but it's thicker at the base. The leaves are more upright than the mother's, makes it look taller. I'm looking for the shorter new leaf and lump near the top of the trunk now. I think it'll be coming soon. This one started flowering around mid March, so that's 3 months now. I try to leave them as long as possible. If you pick too early you end up with the same as shop bought ones, LOL. |
In a month's time or so, you should be able to have many nice and plumb bananas to enjoy :) as it's producing many bunches there for you. I haven't been able to get mine to produce so many. You must have fed them something they like. I should try to fertilize it more often though. I only use fish emulsion as I want to keep my fruit trees organic. I wonder if the feeding should stop after they bloom? |
- Posted by tropicbreezent (My Page) on Fri, Jun 28, 13 at 21:53
Bananafan, haven't seen this variety producing full bunches, so this one is doing quite well having all those hands. I give them aged poultry manure and wood ash. But also mulch them a lot. I have a number of waterholes on my place and I get water weed from them for mulch as well I've another tall growing one still in a pot that normally produces huge full bunches. Still have to find a spot to plant it out. |
- Posted by tropicbreezent (My Page) on Wed, Jul 3, 13 at 6:16
Had strong winds a few days back, making the bananas look very ragged. The largest pup is protected a bit by the mother plant so looks better. Unfortunately strong winds look like returning late in the weekend. |
- Posted by tropicbreezent (My Page) on Wed, Jul 3, 13 at 6:22
Tropicalbreeze, Nice pix of the banana bunches! It's interesting that your potted banana is producing huge full bunches for you. I have many of them in a 10-gallon pots and one of them is producing only 6 fruit at the moment. So, do you feed your potted banana more regularly? Maybe that's what I should do. I forgot if you had mentioned the variety of this fruiting banana. The one I have in the pot now is Goldfingers. |
- Posted by tropicbreezent (My Page) on Mon, Jul 8, 13 at 4:15
No, the potted one is still too young. Bit of a long story. I have a friend who is a 3rd or 4th generation banana farmer. When I was visiting late last year I saw one variety there that was huge (big as or even bigger than the Lady Fingers) and was producing these huge bunches. So I got a pup off them. He didn't know the variety, it's just always been on the farm. Because I have a pathogen in my soil that loves banana roots, I put it in a large pot. Hoping when it produces pups itself I can plant them out to see just where the pathogen won't affect them. (This one fruiting now was a test run as well.) I suspect the pathogen is a fungus but haven't found out yet for sure. This is a photo of the large banana at my friends place. Bit difficult to get an appreciation of the size as there's nothing for perspective. But you could walk under the bunch. |
- Posted by tropicbreezent (My Page) on Mon, Jul 8, 13 at 4:38
My "pup" today beside the shade house. The pot is a 600 mm and standing on blocks to prevent tree roots getting into it. |
- Posted by tropicbreezent (My Page) on Fri, Aug 2, 13 at 2:20
The bananas have filled out a lot, although still have a bit of ribbing. Won't be long and I'll be picking them. |
- Posted by tropicbreezent (My Page) on Thu, Aug 15, 13 at 2:24
On the countdown now.The bananas are losing the darker green and becoming more a yellowish green. And they've rounded out really well. While nothing's getting at them still I'll delay picking to get them as yellow as possible. |
tropicbreeze, is that the same bunch from your first post? Wow, five months and still not ready! |
- Posted by tropicbreezent (My Page) on Wed, Aug 28, 13 at 4:14
Yes, same bunch. But cut off now. I was going away for a week and didn't trust the birds to leave me much for when I got back. Looking up at them I didn't realise the size of them. They're bigger than other Lady Fingers that I've grown. I've given most of them away. Always the same with bananas, you either have too much or none. So 5 months from when the swelling in the trunk became noticeable to ready for picking. That's 2 months of autumn and 3 months of winter. During the warmer months would be a bit shorter. Also, I pick them a lot later than they would on commercial plantations. The next "pup" is now bigger than the mother plant so I'm expecting it to fruit up soon. It'll have the warmer months to develop. |
- Posted by tropicbreezent (My Page) on Thu, Feb 20, 14 at 21:51
I usually try to only have one bunch of bananas growing per clump of plants. This time one bunch started about a month ago and now another is growing despite me cutting out suckers to space them out. I've started giving extra compost to give them a boost. |

I have a purple-leaf sandcherry and it's not even hardy. It dies back to the snow line in the winter, and I see many people around town have them that do the same thing. I guess it's ok because it's a small shrub so I just pruned off the tops, but what the heck, I thought these things were supposed to grow into small trees here?? Anyone else have dieback on them? Mine hardly blooms either. |

It always amazes me, how many are bought every year, years ago I did the same, but dug it out not long after that. Konrad |

I have two on the east side of my house. They are just a couple of years old but are doing well. They don't bloom too much, but I like the foliage. I don't get any dieback. Do you think its because they are sheltered next to the house? Jen |
Yep, I hear you Konrad. Everyone wants those purple colored shrubs and for awhile it seemed PLSC were all we had. Thank goodness for Diablo Ninebark (and I believe there is a more burgundy one now) and now the return of the barberries. I've seen a few PLSC on an east facing commercial property here in southeast Edmonton and they seem to be doing just great, so I think east is a good exposure for them. I just replaced one that had been in my yard when I moved in and died back every year until it was dead with a false spirea which is doing fabulously there. Kate |

Well I'm glad it's not just me! I guess with our (usually) reliable snow cover, they get by here in Manitoba, but you never see them get very big. Jen, it stands to reason that they would do better next to a house, I have a forsythia next to the house that blooms nicely, and 20 feet away are 3 more that only bloom in a ring around the bottom. |
They are not fully hardy in zone 3. They definitely need a sheltered site to survive the winter. My friend has two of these; one of them died right to the ground one winter, even though it was about 4 feet high and wide. Yes, thank goodness for Diablo Ninebark. It's way hardier than the purple-leaf sandcherry. If I knew about them earlier, I would've never bothered with the sandcherry. |
My purple leaf sandcherry survived most winters with minimal damage, but it was on the south side of a fence with great snowcover (though the entire plant isn't covered with snow I think it goes a ways to protect the root system). It was about 6 feet high. One fall was very cool and didn't allow plants to harden off properly for winter. The next spring my sandcherry, as well as my sour cherry both were winterkilled to about a foot from the ground. They came back vigorously, however, I guess there's alot to be said about established root systems. I removed my sandcherry, however, as it constantly suffered from iron chlorosis (clay soil). Interesting enough, most green leaf plants suffering from lack of iron get yellow leaves. The purple sandcherry leaves were more a sickly champagne whitish yellow color. Hard to describe. Anyways, I gave up and removed the sandcherry, replacing with diablo ninebark. I amended the soil a bit, so we'll see how it performs. Definitely a showier shrub with abundant white blossoms and now red seed pods forming. The only downfall may be that I need to prune this annually to keep within bounds, but from what I understand it takes pruning well. Glen |
I have one that's a few years old and has done fairly well with little or no die-back. It's in a bed near the driveway and does get covered well with snow. Yours is stunning, Marie! I hope mine will get that big! |
- Posted by crazy_gardener ~Z2b~ AB Canada (My Page) on Mon, Jun 25, 07 at 15:19
I can't comment on mine yet since I just planted it a week ago. I just sure hope mine looks like Marie's when it grow up, absolutely beautiful! I have mine located in a bed that had 5-6 feet of snow this past winter, hopefully we get that again this winter. IMO, they make a beautiful contrast shrub with other plants even if they don't bloom. Sharon |
- Posted by crazy_gardener ~Z2b~ AB Canada (My Page) on Mon, Jun 25, 07 at 15:25
Marie, apparently Prunus x cistena is a hybrid between P. pumila and P. cerasifera. |
- Posted by laurie_z3_mb sw MB (My Page) on Mon, Jun 25, 07 at 16:58
My PLS does get some winter kill occasionally. This past winter was a hard one on it, and it I had to prune off about 2 feet. But then some years it's good almost to the tips. The blooms are always below the snow line though, they're definitely more cold sensitive. I typically get about 4 feet of snow over the bed that it's in, but above that, it's pretty wind blown in my yard. I've got a ninebark Diablo in the same bed, and it's definitely more hardy to the tips, but it does have more of a burgundy colour to the leaves, whereas the PLS has a more red hue to it. I can't see it ever getting to a small tree status in our zones though. |

A photo lab in Singapore develops everything!
All Lomography and film fanatics in Singapore should know that there is a treasured film developing lab in Singapore, tucked away in Bencoolen Street. I first discovered this place as I bought a mini camera that uses 110 film. The 'Hachi' was a really small and cute camera, and I knew I had to get it. It was only hindsight, when I'm done with the roll, that made me wonder where on earth was I supposed to develop that film. I turned to the internet for answers, and nearly everyone pointed me to Triple D.
My experience with Triple D mini lab started off with 110 films. And soon after, it was the 120 films with my Diana F+; before going mainstream with the normal 35mm ones. Well, my first roll of 110 turned out pretty horrible as they were mainly underexposed. (We took photos indoors.) So here are some photos from my 2nd and 3rd rolls of 110. These were taken in Laos when I went for community service about 3 years back. The weather was beautiful, so the pictures turned out in a good exposure.

Thanks BJMdotLEGO! Quite helpful!
Saw these out at Fred Meyer and TRU in WA yesterday, along with some of the "new" Lego Star Wars, including the Naboo Fighter, Echo Base sets. Cheers.
saw Star Wars Advert Calender in Lego Store in Palisades Mall in NY and Garden State Mall in NJ. Haven't seen City Calender yet though.... (it's out of this topic but: Ninjago NINJA GLIDER polybag is founded in Target @ Edgewater, NJ. 3rd or 4th row from the enterance cashier. I bought 2 and 7 or 8 left. It's behind the Toy Story Army Jeep polybags.)
Still don't get why the Canadian price is $10 more than the U.S. price for the SW calendar, especially when our dollar is at par or more right now? Will there ever be a day when the prices reflect this? I know it's bad other places too, so what's up LEGO?!
It seems that I can only find those on Lego Shop at Home. :( But I never heard anything about a Star Wars calender
until now.
I found one at my Toys"R"Us.
Saw both at Downtown Disney LEGO Store, Anaheim CA
They've always been expensive for Advent Calendars. Pity :(
They had the Star Wras one in store at my Toysrus, as well as Echo Base and all teh new sets, including Series 5 figs.
Seems like both of these are at Toysrus right now, and with the 2 day sale, the SW is 10% off. Not much, but it's something for a new item....
7553 price in australia is $29.99 looks good....BUT BUT BUT we only can buy it in lego.com.....so it add up extra $30 for delivery...........wht a math...
You can get both Advent calendars from the LEGO® STORES Germany i've got both of them today.
Prices EU: LEGO® Star Wars™ Advent Calendar EUR 29.99, LEGO® City Advent Calendar EUR 19.99.

Review: Divinity 2: The Dragon Knight Saga {Big Download}
Dec 21st 2010 5:54AM Thanks for your comment !
1) I see we'll never agree on mindreading but that's ok.
2) The lore can be confusing I guess if you don't know anything of Divinity, but it's still pretty straight forward for the important things like what started all this mess, who's bad, who's good and such.
3) But what I don't get about your review and even with your comments is how you didn't see any humour in it?
It's filled with little and bigger jokes, cameo's and sometimes even vague references that bring a smile.
*SPOILER* At some quest you save a town with a rune which spawns chickens... COME ON :p? *SPOILER*
4) I agreed with this in my previous comment, combat could be better.
5) I really don't see the confusing part, at top you have the class it's aligned to followed with the skills. But ok personal preference I guess? http://i31.tinypic.com/t6e6bp.jpg
6) Well random generated items are not a given for RPGs... Examples: Whole of ME series, Dragon Age as well, etc.
But that wasn't really my point, it was more about the collection and use of many elements. For enchanting, charming, alchemy and general use.
And your final comment shows again how you didn't see this game from the right angle. It ain't Diablo hack 'n slash, grind till you drop kind of game, so the comparison with Diablo/Torchlight is well... not justified (I do love both these games btw).
I'm from the opinion small studios get more slack seeing they mostly bring more or the same amount of value into a game with much less. But again personal opinion.
So I come to my first conclusion again, you weren't giving this game a fair chance, entered bias and gave it too much subjective touch, like other people here also mentioned. I also did this but I'm not a reviewer for a decent gaming website. Anyway like the final verdict, gives an honest view of this game.
And if anyone read this all kudo's to you good sir!
Review: Divinity 2: The Dragon Knight Saga {Big Download}
Dec 20th 2010 1:03PM Next time play a RPG properly without the Bioware expectations and approach it neutrally. What you did here is just ridiculous. There are many negative points which you mostly mentioned, but you hardly mention the positive or overstate the negative.
- Brilliant writing, agree
- Missing context, it can be overwhelming or confusing, but talking with NPC's and reading ingame books gives formation of the story and prequels. (Old School RPG style in other words.)
- Animations are pretty shit, agree
- Combat can be boring or bad, agree
- Interesting Quests and build-up, mentioned and agree
- Gfx general, has its faults and low points but it is still very impressive with the varied and beautiful locations in the game.
- You didn't mention the well build and mostly funny characters.
- Didn't mention the overall humour of the game, it doesn't take itself extremely serious like the darker RPGs of these days.
- Mindreading, mini-games for skills or abilities are plain bs, people had it with mini-games and QTE. True mindreading doesn't always pay off, be it in the short or long run. But when it's not of vital use it can be interesting or just plain funny. (Old School RPG style, again.)
- Free class building and open skill system. You sir appear to be slightly dimwitted since there are NO trees (srsly flowcharts -_-?), only skills aligned with a certain class, but you can choose whatever skills from whatever tree whenever you want, you just need the level for it. For example I can make a priest/ranger with two-hander skills if I want. (Typical to Divinity)
- Didn't mention character building in general with loads of random generated items, set items, charms, enchants and misc. item collection/use.
So apparently you're a wuss who loves to be hold by the hand with loads of information and markers, you're the wrong person to play this old school/hardcore RPG. If you want constant help go back to your Dragon Age. I'm not saying this game is perfect, but still a must have for any self-respecting RPG player.
Reviews of this kind only bring Larian further down, with already being pretty unknown and a quiet low budget studio. So compare all these elements with high budget studios and you'll see it's a marble with scratches made with much less than the perfect marble. And seeing as how Indie is so cool and stuff lately, maybe small studios who can be seen as Indie could also get some support instead of always worshipping the already mega rich corporations out there.
Sorry for the personal approach but your review was like I stated before, ridiculous.

Blizzard: StarCraft II fighting PC game piracy via Battle.net {Big Download}
Aug 10th 2010 8:04AM Just google SC II torrent or cracked or whatever and you'll find loads of illegal versions. So singleplayer is cracked, multiplayer is still some steps away it seems. So i wouldn't really say that Bnet stops the piracy. However it's still beter than nothing i guess.

Jun 12th 2010 3:51AM Even if you killed of the Enclave in FO3 that was just the Eastern Faction, They are probably still active in the Mid-West and maybe even West.
And if they are not you can still expect to see some wandering groups of Enclave not knowing what to do. I'm expecting maybe one or two encounters with the Enclave in New Vegas being small raiding groups or something, no real faction.

Iowa Rush Cares Spotlight- Smart
Iowa Rush Cares Spotlight- Kendall Smart
This past winter, Iowa Rush u18 player Kendall Smart organized the first ever Rush to Stop Hunger Food Drive to benefit the Des Moines Area Religious Council (DMARC) food pantry network. DMARC has 13 pantry sites throughout the Des Moines metro area including one in Ankeny. Kendall was able to collect 272 food items, 15 personal care items and a $10.00 cash donation.
Kendall first began organizing food drives at Ankeny High School last year after volunteering at DMARC over the past two years. He spent time sorting food, organizing orders for each pantry and loading trucks. Through this volunteer work, Kendall said- "I realized the great need for food in the metro area and knew I could help by holding food drives."

So I am the attacker and I have Hit and Run out as an objective. My opponent has one defender, I have one attacker. I play a fate card during the edge battle to kill his only character. My opponent put down Detained which has three icons and my fate card only has two icons. Do I win the edge battle since there are no more defenders, or does he win the edge battle since he had more icons?
I should know the answer to this but I don't
Posted 19 April 2013 - 04:55 PM
Posted 19 April 2013 - 07:09 PM
Your opponent wins the edge battle. The only time an edge battle is an auto-win is if there are no defenders declared (and the attacker can still place cards in the edge battle if desired). In this case, the fate card killed the only defender, which means your engagement will ultimately be unopposed - but since the defender won the edge battle, you will not be able to resolve the edge-enabled icons on your attacker when it focuses to strike, and Hit and Run will not be able to deal its damage to the engaged objective.
Posted 20 April 2013 - 05:53 AM
Though you do not win the edge, you would get an unopposed bonus, assuming your opponent does not do something to remove your unit before the end of the engagment.
Welcome to the machine!
