If you are about to grow Asian vegetables, one thing that you might consider is the angled luffa gourd. Choi sum, and bok choy are also easy to grow, but each luffa gourd vine can produce hundreds of fruit given enough of a growing season, and a large enough trellis. |
Here is a link that might be useful: My luffa gourds from 2012
I am well into the tropics in the southern Philippines so my challenge is to grow things I like from temperate climates. Anyway the Asian veggies I am growing are: I don't know if you would include papaya and tomatoes as veggies. |
For the last 20 years, I have had bok choy, twisted stem mustard and choi sum in the garden. Stir-fries are popular in my house! I will probably add guy lon and maruba santoh to these greens. Snow peas have been a favorite since I 1st tasted them at a Chinese restaurant way back when I was in college. I really should be able to add chives & shallots to this list. But, those are just regular chives and my shallots all have European names. However, they are both common to the gardens in Southeast Asia. Cherry tomatoes . . . ? Okay, I'll stop. Steve |

Mine would have to be the angled luffa gourd. They taste great, and each plant produces hundreds of fruit given enough trellis space. I'm starting mine already 2 months earlier than last year because I want them to produce even more as they make fruits non-stop. Here's my 2 luffa plants from last year. |
Here is a link that might be useful: luffa plants
Those are impressive plants, Steve. You grow them on an elevated horizontal trellis, much the way I grew chayote when I lived in California. My own efforts to grow luffa have been disappointing... I don't think it likes my Wisconsin climate. My wife is from the Philippines, so I grow a lot of vegetables from there: I also have seeds for Yellow Mungo & a thorny Filipino eggplant, but only grow those once every 4-5 years. Other Asian/Pacific Island vegetables: |
Hey, zeedman! I can't stop . . . too forgetful! Senposai greens purple Japanese eggplant (the long green Thai eggplant seed failed this year) edamame soybeans Steve |

Gai laan Chinese celery luffa moringa curry tree bitter melon Indian eggplants SE Asian chile varieties Vietnamese mint Culantro Bok choi Choy Sum Purple Bok Choy Mizuna Gongura Giant Red Mustard |
I have a boatload of shiso going (6+ weeks plus so many newer seedlings at various stages), both the Korean and Vietnamese kind, as well as edible mums -- known as "ssook gat" in Korean. Quite cilantro-ish. All are on my balcony in all day full or dappled sun for the shiso varieties and a little more dappled for the mums. Full sun requires hanging over the railing, and that space is in high demand this year because of things I've planted requiring full, full sun. (Bouganvillea, tomatoes and peppers, for instance.) I wish I had the room to try all of the great stuff you guys are growing!!! Grace |

One vegetable that most people may not think of is goji greens. They are very easy to grow, propagate easily with cuttings, and have lots of antioxidents. They are good for soups, salads, or stir fry. |

Niira (garlic chives) Negi (japanese bunching onions, green onions) Red Kuri Kabocha Moringa Oleifera (survived a transplant trauma & a couple of frosts! Myoga (not sure it is coming back or not) Turmeric (another hopefully-just-dormant plant) Ginger (also dormant) Japanese Sweet Potato (purple skin, white flesh) About to start: Shiso seedlings died while I was out of town |

Snake gourd, malabar spinach, bitter gourd, angled luffa, araikeerai, dhantu keerai, tulsi (really a herb), watercress, and a few others i cant rememeber off the tip of my tounge. |
I had Bok Choy. The are gone now. I have few Asian veggies: --- Shisso --- Thai Basil -- Chinese Celery --- Lemongrass I am not into gourds and melons this year. |
Bittermelon! Small female flower developing. I have a few male flowers. Hopefully I get some fruit soon. |

Finally got an Okinawan Sweet Potato (purple skin, purple flesh) from the Japanese supermarket to sprout! :-D With all my sweet potatoes, i just keep making new slips from the vines and planting here and there. Zone 9, so I figure any I start now will still have plenty of time to develop tubers before December. My japanese negi (bunching onions), which are much bigger than the typical green onions have started dividing themselves. They were originally grown from the bottom 1 inch of store-bought negi last winter. Garlic chives (niira) have been plagued by slugs or varmints or something, so I pulled them out of garden bed and transplanted to container. Doing better now. Shiso is going nuts. Currently sprouting a new crop of winged beans. Ashitaba seems slow to germinate. |
yukkuri_kame, How did you germinate the Ashitaba? Did you use the cold stratification method? I've done that, but they haven't sprouted or show any signs yet of sprouting. |
- Posted by yukkuri_kame Sunset 19 / USDA 9 (My Page) on Thu, Jul 11, 13 at 3:38
Ashitaba has not germinated. :( Can't read the instructions, all in Japanese. |
- Posted by yukkuri_kame Sunset 19 / USDA 9 (My Page) on Thu, Jul 11, 13 at 3:49
Ashitaba has not germinated. :( Instructions are in Japanese, and don't say much about germination. I figured since they were subtropical plants, they'd germinate quickly as it has been hot lately, but not successful yet. Had no luck germinating mitsuba either. |
Yukkuri_kame, I saw some instructions on the web, that says you should put the seeds in a cold stratification for about 30 day in the fridge. I believe in their native homeland they, germinate after a cold winter period in the ground. It also said to put the seeds on a layer of peat moss or some other medium then cover over again with another thin layer of peat moss, but make sure to wet the medium and keep it moist not wet for 30 days in the fridge. To mimic the winter cold. Then it should germinate with in a few weeks in the warm heat. Sorry it wasn't clearly explain, just some piece and bits l got off the web,. hope it helps. |

My bitter melons still haven't managed to produce a single fruit yet, but they are flowering profusely. The luffas are starting to produce. My longest vines exceed 20ft in length already so they are at a very strong pace, and the longest gourd is about 15 inches long now. I have 7 of these plants so I should be getting hundreds of them starting to form in 2 more weeks. Here's the biggest one so far. |

Nice trellis & Luffa! Latest additions: asian winged beans, from seed ready to transplant to new bed malabar spinach direct sown was hit hard by gophers, snails and who knows what else. Got a couple of cuttings going from malabar spinach bought at farmer's market, not gonna transplant until they are well along. Might try reseeding in containers for later transplant. Kabocha seedlings from storebought squash ready to plant to new bed. I continue to propagate slips of 3 varieties of sweet potato and plant them all over. |
Such wonderful variety! I had to look up photos of many of the veggies as I had never heard of them. I am growing red amaranth, Japanese eggplant, Indian okra, ghost pepper, cilantro, baby amaranth, fenugreek(methi), Armenian cucumber, Asian determinate tomato variety, an Indian pumpkin. Have a couple of bitter melon plants but no flowers yet. Amaranth and fenugreek have been fantastic- been harvesting for several weeks now. Plant lover - where did you get seeds for araikeerai? Curious where you garden? Steve - nice luffa. I especially like the trellis and may do one similar next year for yard long beans and snake gourd. I remember my dad building something similar with bamboo. |

I got my seeds directly from india, i live in New York. |
I'm growing edamame, daikon and baby bok choy. Jim |
- Posted by yukkuri_kame Sunset 19 / USDA 9 (My Page) on Mon, Aug 12, 13 at 3:11
Edamame and Daikon are on my list to grow. I've got some old daikon seed lying around I will try for a fall crop, the edamame will have to wait for next spring-summer. Picked up some ipomoea aquatica (kang kong/ong choy/water spinach) at the farmer's market today, stuck a few shoots in a potting mix, hopefully have another source of easy perennial greens growing soon. Supposedly super easy to root - seeing as they are closely related to sweet potato, it should be a breeze to root them. |
Hi, Due the water conservation rules in TX, I have limited what I am growing this year. So here is my list Regards, |

This year (2013): Long Beans |
I just sowed bok choy, winged beans, peas for shoots, thai basil and will be sowing daikon. |

Good luck with the winged beans this time of year. Hope you have non-daylight sensitive variety - otherwise you might not get a harvest until this time next year. Of course, you can always eat leaves & shoots. Added Thai Basil and Lemongrass from cuttings from the farmer's market. My kabocha are now putting out blossoms, but mostly males, haven't seen any females yet...hope I'm not too late to get a decent harvest. Someone keeps nibbling on my asian sweet potato leaves. Rats, Gophers, Rabbits are prime suspects. Hopefully tubers are still mostly intact. Storebought ginger roots have plenty of shoots now, growing well. Haven't been successful with turmeric since I left florida, but I'm sure I just need a really fresh rhizome to get it started, guess I'll wait for spring. |
You might get a few squash on the smaller size, that aren't fully ripen, but they'll still taste good, just not as intense/rich of a flavor as the summer fully ripe ones. Kabocha usually are the first ripen squash for my parents(in early summer, by late April-May), then the winter squash ripen in late summer and fall. At this time, there's no Kabocha squash still growing for us. But, if sowing late, then, they will be like the other winter squash, ripening later in the summer and fall. If you need, more lemon grass cuttings or rooted cuttings fresh from the bush/mat, I can get you some for shipping cost. Same with Thai, holy, and lemon basil. I can also get you seeds of the kind of squash we grow too. I don't know the variety, but it have ridges and some are light brown/yellow and others are green with white lines and splotches. I'll show pictures when, I go to the farm. Let me know, if you would like some of the stuff, I mention. |

I'm growing dioscorea batatas which can be found in Asian grocery stores, but the one catch with them is that they grow super deep making them tough to dig out in one piece. Here's a 3 season old one that got down to 3ft deep, but they are better tasting the normal potatoes. This one weighs about 8lbs, and I couldn't get the last section which was just out of my reach so it could be even a bit bigger than that. |
SteveLau, Great, did you use special fertilizer for the dioscorea batatas? How did you control insects inside the soil?Thanks |
This post was edited by JCTsai on Tue, Dec 3, 13 at 7:59
SteveLau, I've considered growing Dioscorea batatas; it is apparently hardy enough to survive here. I'm a little apprehensive about the size of the vines, though. How much area did they cover after 3 years? |

I am growing a great Asian vegetable that gives lots of tasty vegetables in Malaysia they are called Kachang Botol or in Australia we call it 4 angle beans , great for stir fry or even in salads image attached |
- Posted by Robert.1943 10 (My Page) on Sat, Dec 28, 13 at 23:21
Another Japanese vegetable I am growing in Brisbane Australia is Komatsuna which is a great vegetable . |
Robert, Those two are both very tasty. In English, I believed, they're called winged bean(first pic) and the second pic is known as tat soi or something along that line. |
- Posted by yukkuri_kame Sunset 19 / USDA 9 (My Page) on Mon, Jan 27, 14 at 17:20
The Japanese call winged bean shikakumame 四角豆, which means "four-angled bean" One thing to pay attention for with this bean is daylight sensitive or daylight INsensitive. The daylight INsensitive will start producing much sooner, while the daylight sensitive will wait for shorter days. In South Florida, I planted in late winter and they didn't flower till September. 9 months is a long time to wait for beans! But when they did produce it was gangbusters. |
I am going to try some kind of "-- CHOY" again. I hop they wont bolt. :last year even with our cool PNW weather they bolted. An I always grow shiso and Thai basil. This year for the first time I will grow Holey Basil. |
- Posted by grandmotherbear z10FL (My Page) on Sun, Apr 27, 14 at 13:29
I have for perennials luffa, katuk, , Malabar spinach, and lotus. It was an American ornamental lotus that had lost its ID but the tubers are only about finger length and 2 fingers wide. Recently saw a lotus root in Chinese grocery in Greenville SC that was the size of softballs! Would LOVE to have that! Also, water chestnuts, water celery, winged bean, yardlong bean, the bok choy is heat blasted, just planted chires baby corn -may or may not do well- we are infested with feral kittens who like to supervise my work and they broke last years stalks by attempting to climb them- sweet flag and wapato (American, not oriental) |

Hi everyone, Demolition has started and now I am stuck on what color to pick for the White Macaubas I've chosen. Here is a pick for 2 contenders |
Follow-Up Postings:
The first pic is in the actual kitchen, the floor is staying. Second pic is in a front window, not in kitchen.. |
In the first pic I like the one on the left. In the second pic I like the top right. The macaubus is too white; I think it clashes with the almond-y colors. I love your stone, btw! |
Thanks for responding. Im driving myself nuts!!! This macaubas seems to have a lot of greeny grey. It's hard to pick because I don't want stark white. Also since my kitchen is in demolition there isn't any light and it's hard to know what it will look like in the space. |

Hello! I'm about to purchase white Mac as well and just picked out my slabs today, actually. :) I'm going with Sherwin Williams "Marshmallow" which is a warm white. My island will be SW "techno gray". I just love white Mac! |
Nice choices! In your first pic I prefer the one on the right, and in the second pic I like the lower left and upper right. |
Lalalisa- is your white macaubas on the grey side? |
Why not try stained wood? I just saw a white mac counter top with rift cut oak cabinets that had a natural stain and a slight grew wash. The color was warm and had just enough grey/green/gold tone to make the white mac look beautiful. Had I seen that combo earlier I would have gone for it over my darker cabinet/quartz choice. |
Stained wood would have been nice with the macaubus. I wanted white cabs though because the kitchen is very small and we have lots of wood already, floors, doors, windows... I hope I've made the right choice... |

I have fresh seeds available that are probably either Inca Sun or Angel's Summer Dream X Charles Grimaldi.
I can send them for a SASBE, but I would also love to trade them for a cutting (rooted or not) of a double or triple in any color but yellow later when the weather warms up. Fragrance always welcome. This is the first time I've ever had seedpods and it was hard to wait until they were really ripe. I sacrificed two pods that were still immature, but now I've got two pods worth of tan seeds drying on a paper towel. |

As a consultant on Search Engine Marketing and Web Site Usability, one of the suggestions I often make to companies who want to establish their online presence is to create a blog. Is this still a good idea?
The seeds of blogging began in the late 1980's when early adopters of the Internet used bulletin boards to find people and talk with them. Chat rooms and topic focused email lists came next, followed by "groups", forums and now, blogging and social networking sites. The constant theme is our desire to talk about ourselves.
When there were less people doing all the chatting, it felt more intimate. For a few years there, I could dial up (yes, dial up with a cranky modem), and in due time (after the bagel was toasted), I could easily find all sorts of people that I "knew". They hid behind their user names, but it was fun to picture what "Italian Stallion" or "TechGod" or "RedPen" looked like. Today, with Facebook, pictures and real names, the thrill of guessing is gone.
I loved the innocence of the early days. And the danger. Oh, the stories I won't tell you! And still, there was the time during my single mom years that I chatted somewhere about being alone, again, on New Years Eve. One of my online friends, whom I'd never met but had chatted with online and via the phone for hours, flew out to stay with me and the kids and spoiled me rotten with good food and a fun trip to the local King of Prussia Mall. For years, while the kids were young, he sent a box of goofy kid gifts and something pretty for me. The kids adored him. I think he adored me, but I couldn't return those feelings. Still, he was a loyal friend and he always made me relax, which is not an easy to do. We lost touch…sad to say, because I got so busy with my Internet-based work that I stopped maintaining off-line friendships.
Most of my off-line friends will tell you, if asked, that I'm impossible to reach and even harder to spend time with. One friend wanted to throw me a birthday party and stopped talking to me when I refused to go along with it. I really hate all that attention. It's a testament to my friend, Li Evans, that she managed to pull off a huge party for my 50th party and got me to come to it.
I've noted my own behavior on the Internet over the years. Sometimes I wonder if I'm alone in my feelings and observations. With the gigantic emphasis on social conversation and networking today, why have I slowed my blogging input rather than take advantage of this Big Blogging Thing?
Talk Talk Talk
Blogs were once online diaries of personal heartfelt posts that weren't generally targeted to anybody in particular. The outflow was therapy. Some people are natural storytellers and were a blast to read. Some were tragic, such as the blog I once followed that was all about the death of a father's young daughter. Those types of blogs helped us understand that we're not alone and other people have feelings like we do. Comments weren't really the big thing. The human outflow was the juice.
Today, there is far far less writing from the heart. Blogs are used to house articles, share industry news, sell products and services and draw enough attention to get other sites to link to your site. My blog has fallen into that trap as well. I don't write from the heart nearly as much as I once did.
Baring Soul
Why? Because of two things. One is I have no ego. I don't think for a moment anyone cares what I have to say or that what I write here is anything spectacular. I do think the articles I write for OTHER web sites, such as Search Engine Land's Just Behave, are really good. I write better for other people or sites because I feel it is my responsibility to do my best for them.
Sure, a shrink will tell you I lack self confidence or something related to that. I'm confident in my skills. I do lack the "Here I am! Aren't I great?" gene. I think that to sustain a blog year after year, the blogger has to truly believe they are hot, in demand, and people want to grow up and be just like them.
This is why corporate blogs and blogs set up for the purpose of getting links are so bland. They lack a personality. Their writers are called "Admin". Their content is stagnant and most often unoriginal. These blogs are not blogs. They are more boring web sites that are slightly more powerful than an About Us page.
The other reason I write less is that baring my soul became gossip fodder. You'll recall some of the debates where new people would ask if it's okay to combine business with personal stuff. My blog was sometimes referred to as an example of a successful combo for both. I did pull it off for awhile, but I've shied away this past year from the personal stuff.
I noticed that when I share anything "real", its when I'm miffed at something. I don't have a temper. I just get ruffled. When I get really mad, I don't talk to anybody and go hide in my cave until all the bad feelings are tucked safely away. Really unhealthy way to live…but I have a personal code. Don't get mad. Don't cry. Just learn something and don't judge.
Unless I bring my blog into the cave, there's really nothing that exciting to write about. So what is left is just the professional business writing.
So now I feel as though I'm standing on the blogging ledge, looking down at all the little blogging people below, with their honking ads and rushing from street to street trying to be the first one to get a news story out. I no longer feel the desire to be first and I have no desire to toot my horn.
I suppose I'll still recommend blogs to clients, and offer suggestions for how to make them worthwhile investments in time and money. There are some blogs that rock because the folks behind them figured out how to provide information with personality, news with creativity and serious commitment to quality writing. They kept some of the magic, which is writing for readers, not sales.
With blogs becoming more or less just regular web sites, I wonder where the next human to human outflow will be. Will it be found in the niche social sites that target certain demograhics? Is it user generated feedback on sites that ask for reviews and ratings? Does the creative community, such as writers and artists, have anything new up their sleeves? Is the next cool community gab thing on the Internet at all?
Will the transparency fad fade? Have we grown tired of knowing what everybody looks like naked, how much they drink or what meds they're on? Maybe personal blogging is petering out because they shared too much intimate information. Perhaps there is a push back on voyeurism.
Maybe, in my case, I just miss real people.

Prostate cancer and other diseases of the prostate are common. Learning about these diseases can help you recognize problems and seek medical treatment early.
Mark each statement true or false.
1. The prostate is located beneath the bladder and consists of glands and ducts embedded in muscle fibers.
2. Prostate cancer is always fatal.
3. Most prostate cancers cause symptoms such as a weak stream of urine; pain while urinating; frequent urination, especially at night; and trouble starting or holding back urination.
4. The American Cancer Society (ACS) recommends all men have an annual digital rectal examination (DRE) and an annual prostate-specific antigen test (PSA) after 50.
5. PSA tests are always accurate.
6. African American men and men with a history of prostate cancer in their families have a higher risk of developing prostate cancer.
7. Treatments for prostate cancer include monitoring of a slow-growing cancer, surgical removal of the prostate, radiation therapy and hormone therapy.
8. One of the most important risk factors for prostate cancer is aging.
9. If your PSA is abnormal, you'll undergo tests before a doctor makes a confirmed diagnosis of prostate cancer.
10. Many men experience a prostate infection or prostatitis at some time in their lives.
11. About 20 percent of men develop an enlarged prostate or benign prostate hyperplasia by age 80.
12. Symptoms for an enlarged prostate are the same as those for early prostate cancer.
13. If prostate cancer is found, your doctor will request additional tests to determine the stage of the disease.
14. If you're diagnosed with prostate cancer, research your treatment options and discuss them with your doctor.
1. True.
2. False. Early detection and diagnosis and prompt treatment can successfully cure or control the disease in most cases.
3. False. Most men with prostate cancer do not have symptoms when it is found via a PSA blood test. Although some men with more advanced prostate cancer may have these symptoms, they are more likely to be because of benign (non-cancerous) growth of the prostate. Other possible symptoms of advanced prostate cancer include pain in the lower-back or groin area, blood in the urine, and pain before or during ejaculation.
4. False. Because the benefits of screening every man aren't clear, the ACS and most other major medical organizations recommend that men and their doctors discuss the benefits, risks, and limitations of prostate cancer screening before coming to a decision on whether testing is right for each man. This discussion should begin at age 50. African American men and those with a family history of the disease should have this discussion starting at age 45.
5. False. The PSA test has undoubtedly caught many prostate cancers early, when they were more treatable. Unfortunately, this test isn't always accurate because every man's prostate is different. For example, some men without prostate cancer may have an elevated PSA, which could lead them to having further unnecessary and possibly invasive tests. And others with prostate cancer may not have an elevated PSA level, which might give them a false sense of security. Although no screening test is perfect, the limitations of the PSA test can have enough serious consequences that most organizations don't simply recommend that every man get screened.
6. True. Men with a family history of prostate cancer have two to four times the risk.
7. True.
8. True. Two out of three men are diagnosed with prostate cancer after age 65.
9. True.
10. True. See your doctor if you have any of these symptoms: frequent or difficult urination; urgent need to urinate; pain in the lower back and in the area between the rectum and the testicles; pain or a burning sensation while urinating; or blood in the urine.
11. False. Ninety percent of men in their 70's and 80's develop an enlarged prostate or benign prostate hyperplasia.
12. False. Prostate cancer in the early stages has few or no symptoms. When prostate cancer spreads, it may have similar symptoms to an enlarged prostate. Depending on what parts of the body it spreads to, prostate cancer symptoms may include bone pain, weight loss, fatigue, shortness of breath and other symptoms.
13. True.
14. True.

Great TV without the unnecessary extras
By yohann1
from Glenview, IL
Looked a several other TVs of similar size that were double and triple the cost. TV is the same as the other more expensive models but some of the extras (that usually go unused) are not on this model. No smart TV (have a blueray for that) and only 2 HDMI, but that is all I needed for the Cable and Blueray. Picture is really good, not as good as our Pioneer Elite but very respectable. Sound on the TV speakers is not great, would recommend having a theater system or soundbar if you select this tv.

The search is on Thursday for the teenage girls abducted by the Islamic extremist group Boko Haram in northeastern Nigeria.
Nigerian security forces are narrowing in on a forest in Borno state, near the border with Cameroon where they think the more than 100 girls are being held.
Just after midnight Tuesday, gunmen killed a soldier and a police officer guarding a school in Chibok and abducted the teenage girls.
The school's principle says that out of the 129 abducted, 14 managed to escape and find help.
The kidnapping happened a day after suspected Boko Haram insurgents bombed a bus station, killing 75.
Boko Haram, whose name means "Western education is forbidden," has targeted schools, mosques, churches, villages and agricultural centers in increasingly indiscriminate assaults.
The attacks have led to increased calls for President Goodluck Jonathan to rethink his strategy in confronting Islamic extremism in Nigeria.
On Thursday, Jonathan called a meeting of his top security chiefs to discuss the matter.

City Council District 11
A Letter from Councilmember Linda Koop
What do people want from their neighborhoods? They want a clean, safe place to live, and a place that makes their quality of life better. Thats exactly what District 11 has to offer to its residents.
Our little corner of Dallas has beautiful parks, access to the Cottonwood Trail, and quality recreation centers and libraries. Not to mention, great shopping! But none of these assets are worth much if you dont feel safe.
We are proud to announce that city-wide, crime is going down were talking double-digit declines. Fortunately, the crime rate in our district is one of the lowest in the city. Much of the credit goes to our hardworking Dallas Police Department (DPD). But their job is made easier because of you, the residents. We have one of the largest participation rates in the city in the VIP: Volunteer in Patrol program. VIP, hosted by DPD, allows citizens to go through a training course and then patrol their own neighborhoods and report any suspicious or criminal activity to the police. Programs like this make District 11 one of the best places to live in Dallas.
We are not without our challenges. We are working to get a number of rundown apartment complexes replaced. Theyve served us well, but the demand for urban-style, mixed-use, high-rise living and transit-oriented development is creating a climate of change. In addition, some neighborhoods are even seeing numerous code violations, which in turn, impact all of our property values.
Our neighborhoods are our best asset so thats why I worked hard this past budget season to add resources to reinvent our Code Department. We are moving from Code Enforcement to Code Compliance by providing staff with the resources and tools to help educate residents on how to bring their properties into compliance and enhance the curb appeal of our neighborhoods.
I commend those of you who have taken a vital interest in your neighborhoods by getting involved your participation makes for cleaner and safer neighborhoods.
Best regards,
Linda Koop

You done good, Babka. Does it change its colors around like the others in its family? I like the design within the center of that leaf to the far left. |

Moccasin- I hope it doesn't change colors like Hanky Panky. We'll see. Striptease and Kiwi Full Monty don't change colors. Ken- The only ones I have that look similar are Striptease and Kiwi Full Monty. Snake Eyes has a much wider white line and looks different to ME. Here they are together (sorry about the lighting). |
- Posted by moccasinlanding z9A AL (My Page) on Sat, Apr 28, 12 at 18:48
There is a family resemblance, but different yes. I like the closeup of Snake Eyes. I did not realize it was so small. How big will it get? Tomorrow I will post my separate thread about the latest Hallsons order which came today. With a ---TADAAAAA--- bonus that is a generous size too. Extremely well packed, with nothing wilted even a wee-bit, although if another day had passed they might have suffered. But my postman John came back by to drop off the plants (he's learned how to know plant boxes I think), and my new Felco #8 pruners. |
It's not really small, it is in a 1 gal container with 5 eyes. I just got it new this year from Hallsons. The others I've had for many years and are mature in their pots. I'm guessing that it will be similar in size. -Babka |
- Posted by hosta_freak z6 NC (My Page) on Sat, Apr 28, 12 at 19:49
Striptease ,in my garden is very slow growing. I got one back in 2005,and right now,it is still so small that I could hide the entire plant under any of my two Big Kiwi Full Monties,which were planted in 2007,and 2008. They resemble each other,except for size. I have to diasgree about KFM not changing color. Mine start out looking like your Snake Eyes,then the center turns really light green,with the strip still showing. Phil |
Phil- That is really strange. I got Striptease in 2001 and KFM in 2008, when it was touted as a "blue Striptease". Mine both have very very narrow white lines. I like the way they look together so mine get the same light. Neither has the wide more prominent white stripe as the Snake Eyes. Hmmm. Does your KFM lose the glaucous bloom? Mine doesn't here, and perhaps that accounts for the differences between yours and mine. Also mine are restricted in their pots, so they probably don't achieve their potential size, as yours would grown in the ground in your perfect woodland setting. (Yeah, I'm jealous). -Babka |

Report: Islamic State of Iraq defense minister captured
The Iraqi Army claimed to have captured the minister of defense of the Islamic State of Iraq, al Qaeda's political front organization. Ahmed Turki Abbas was captured after being wounded in a skirmish near Mahmudiyah and "claimed the rank of defense minister," Qassim al Moussawi, Iraq's military spokesman told Reuters.
Confirmation on the arrest of Abbas -- likely a nom de guerre -- has not been given by Multinational Forces Iraq at this time. The Iraqi government has made claims of killing and capturing Abu Omar al Baghdadi several times this year, which turned out to be false reports or cases of mistaken identity.
Abu Ayyub al Masri, the leader of al Qaeda in Iraq, is officially listed as the minister of defense for the Islamic State of Iraq, according to a press release put out by the terror group in April. But over the summer, it became known the Islamic State of Iraq was the invention of al Masri, who serves as the emir, or leader, of the group. Abu Omar al Baghdadi is actually a fictional character played by an Iraqi actor named Abu Abdullah al Naima. This information was revealed after the captured of Abu Muhammad al Mashadani, the former minister of information for the Islamic State of Iraq.
With al Masri serving as the emir of both the Islamic State of Iraq and al Qaeda in Iraq, the portfolio of defense minister was delegated to Abbas, a senior US military intelligence official told The Long War Journal.
After learning of the arrest of Abbas, Marvin Hutchens of ThreatsWatch.org agreed with that assessment. "For purely pragmatic reasons, Al Qaeda in Iraq and the Islamic State of Iraq need as many Iraqi names in leadership posts as possible," said Hutchens in an interview. "They are selling their legitimacy as the Iraqi state and having al Masri known as the minister of defense hides his real role as the foreign leader of an illegitimate insurgent state."
If Abbas' capture is confirmed, he would be the third member of the cabinet of the Islamic State to be captured or killed this year. Muharib Abdul Latif al Jabouri, the minister of public relations, was killed during a major battle between the Anbar Awakening and al Qaeda in the town of Dhuluiya in neighboring Salahadin province last May.
READER COMMENTS: "Report: Islamic State of Iraq defense minister captured"
Posted by Marlin at December 27, 2007 6:33 PM ET:
General Hertling is reporting today from Ninevah province that al Qaeda no longer poses a big danger there because of a shortage of funds. The article is in hard to understand English, but it seems to imply that several financiers ran off with money meant to be used for operational purposes.
U.S.-led Coalition army chief in Northern Iraq said on Thursday al-Qaeda did not pose a big threat in Ninewa for lacking fund of its armed operations.
"Al-Qaeda suffered fund shortage and posed no big danger in Ninewa after killing and arresting a number of its financiers"�, General Hertling, Coalition forces chief in northern Iraq, told the independent news agency Voices of Iraq (VOI) during a short visit to Ninewa governor Duraid Kashmulla.
He maintained "�the armed groups activating in the provinces worked without funds, after their field financiers escaped with money, causing a splinter in the organization"�.

2012 sets now listed at shop.LEGO.com
Posted by Huw,The 2012 sets have been added to shop.LEGO.com in the UK and probably elsewhere in Europe already, 3 days earlier than expected.
I've just finished building this RattleCopter and have to say, it's stunning! Get your order in now and I suspect you'll get them before the New Year.
Update: surprisingly, these are now all appearing in our product feed already. You can see everything added to the site on our What's New at shop.LEGO.com page.
(thanks R4-G9 for the tip-off)
Huw, can you tell from the instructions if Lloyd is with the Ninja's? I'm getting confused with Lord and Lloyds loyalty :P
Google Youtube Ninjago rise of the snakes and watch a couple of episodes. Lloyd is definitely not with the Ninja's at least not at first (as far as I have watched).
Looking at the prices,
All the dino sets are reasonably priced except the HQ which should rightfully be £74.99
Creator sets are just right
Cars smaller sets are priced ok however the bigger ones should be cheaper
Apart from Lex pow, the super heroes are over priced. Cat woman should £10, batwing £30, HQ £60
Ninjago sets are priced ok.
City vehicles priced right.
Police forest are priced ok although the big set should really be £50 and the fire setsbare priced ok too.
No sign of star wars yet. Overall, I'd call it a mixed bag of set prices.
@itsaturkey: Lloyd starts out with the snakes, then joins the ninjas and becomes one of them (the green one). In this set, it looks like he's still on the dark side though.
Why do Lego price licensed stuff more $34.99 should equal £29.99, not. Were paying more than the us.
Rainstorm @ Firox: Thanks! I was really confused for a while.
finally, it cames to portugal !
Wow, Rip-off Britain strikes again!
I saw Dino and Batman sets at our local all-in-one supermarket a couple days ago. Nothing I can't live without sadly. It's ok, there's still 2 big boxes under the tree and one coming with the in-laws to shake!
Anyone noticed that the small HF heroes and villains are £7? Also, westfield Shepard's Bush has stocked the sets!
Its confirmed the Green Ninja is Lloyd Garmadon by a video on youtube showing 2012 spinners and some sets to find the video just search 'Lego Ninjago Summer Spinners 2012 - Exclusive Pictures!' on youtube.
The Rattlecopter is by Adrian Florea not me! I did a few Ninjago sets though - I've updated my Bricklist to show all the sets I've worked on - for those who care. Glad to hear everyone is enjoying our work!
Mark, Jay's Storm fighter is really neat. I really like the technique for the wing opening. The only thing I had a problem with was the rubber band did not have enough tension and the wings didn't really open at all, so I had to improvise and put a tighter one in. Did you find this to be an issue?
No, it was fine during development, if I thought there was an issue I would have put in a smaller blue band. I did have to double up for the TV shoot, but this was because it was a glued model and stuck a bit. I hope it doesn't effect your enjoyment too much. Thanks for buying it.
I agree with you Huw, the Rattlecopter is really cool! I still hate Lloyd, though.
~DXninja9000, Lloyd hater
@Nabii, thanks for the clarification and also the BrickList. It would be great if all designers maintained them!

Patient intake at a small medical clinic in a remote area of a Third World country can be difficult, especially when you don't speak the native language.
"A lot of times you just find a common ground," said Jonathan Eyestone, a certified nursing assistant at Billings Clinic. "I knew a few key terms in Spanish. But there was lots of gesturing, lots of pointing. We made do."
Eyestone, then a student with the Billings campus of the Montana State University nursing program, was one of 15 nursing students who traveled to the Dominican Republic in November to help set up and run rural health clinics.
The opportunity was organized by the Timmy Global Health program, an Indiana-based non-governmental organization (NGO) that pairs medical teams with international organizations to build health and development services.
The program brought the students, a pair of MSU faculty members and a handful of medical professionals -- four St. Vincent Healthcare physicians, a St. Vincent lactation consultant, a nurse from Billings Clinic and a pharmacist from Connecticut -- together with Banelino, a fair-trade banana cooperative near the northwestern Dominican city of Monte Cristi, a city of about 17,000 people near the Haitian border.
Banelino oversees about 400 small banana producers and all its workers were eligible to receive care from the team.
Beth Ragbourn, another Billings Clinic CNA who was a student in the program, said they spent most of the two weeks traveling to outlying communities, called "bateys," of 200 to 400 people.
"They're very isolated," she said. "For many of them, there's no running water, no electricity."
Ragbourn and Eyestone both graduated from the MSU nursing program in December and are now employed by Billings Clinic.
Over the weeks, they set up shop in five communities and saw a total of 488 patients.
For the students, most of the focus was on primary care, taking basic vital signs and staffing the clinics from the many patients.
In such a poor and rural area -- far away from the Dominican Republic's tourist-friendly eastern beaches -- the students and medical professionals faced myriad problems.
Dengue fever, a viral disease spread by mosquitoes that can lead to high fevers, aches and fatigue, was the most common problem people brought up, Eyestone and Ragbourn said.
Clinic workers also saw diabetes, respiratory problems and anemia. They also focused on sanitation, disease prevention and basic education.
There were also a few surprises. Some in the Dominican Republic embrace spiritual and religious beliefs that dictate and, in some cases, limit what kind of medical treatment they can receive.
Eyestone said that, with the help of a translator, they simply had to work with what they were given in those cases.
"A lot of times you have to just present what you have," he said. "You don't force it on them. You tell them what you can do and they have to decide."
The group also learned about a hot-button political issue there: illegal immigration. The Dominican Republic shares an island with Haiti and many of the workers in the Monte Cristi region came from Haiti illegally.
"It's not just a poverty issue," said Martha Arguelles, a clinical associate professor at MSU College of Nursing and International Service Learning Program coordinator, who helped organize the trip for the students. "The Haitians who work there as migrant workers in the Domincan Republic are really outcasts. They have no citizenship, no papers. We wanted (the students) to talk about how it influenced people."
Ragbourn said the clinics' open-door policy helped them treat many of those workers.
"Anybody who works (for Banelino) automatically gets cared for," she said. "Anybody who's part of it can get some help."
Arguelles said she's been organizing such overseas trips for second-semester senior nursing students for several years. The students must pay for the trip themselves -- about $2,400 each for the Dominican trip -- but she arranged the work as part of a credited class so they can use student financial aid.
The trip is important, she said, because it opens them up to different health practices and problems they might not see in Montana, as well as exposing them to new cultures and ideas.
"They helped staff the clinics while the providers saw the patients, but just as important were the discussions that we had with the students on the differences in health delivery," she said. "Just every day, all day, they were up to their elbows, working hard to see what this job was like. It made for the students having a very well-rounded experience."
Eyestone said seeing the people's reaction to care from the team made the trip worth it.
"They were extremely grateful for any help you can give," he said.
Both he and Ragbourn said they'd like to go back if possible, although their demanding careers may keep that from happening anytime soon.
"It's just a great experience," Ragbourn said. "Everybody should do it."

Man, I've had some awesome kills while playing FPS games. I remember raining terror on about 8 guys almost simultaneously in Killzone 3 and watching them perish to Hades. I've also brandished my battle stripes in Battlefield 3 by taking down 5 or six enemies and changing from primary to secondary in the process. I could have sworn I was Rambo!
Furthermore, I've had some perfect kills in Modern Warfare 3 by letting loose precision bombs on unknowing foes – man I've had some good times! Random grenade throws taking out full squads, and headshots so long-distance you'd the karma was on my side.
What about you? Tell us about some of your most awesome kills. It's The Official Games Thirst Bragging Season.

Google Enables Better Traffic Arbitrage
New Adsense integration seems to be a lift for Adsense arbitrage.
That was my reaction upon learning today that Google (NASDAQ: GOOG) will be integrating Google Adsense data into Google Analytics:
In addition to the wealth of metrics already available in Analytics such as unique visitors and visitor language, you'll now have access to granular reports that break down AdSense performance both by page and by referring site. Armed with this new data about user behavior, you'll be able to make more informed decisions on how to improve the user experience on your site and optimize your AdSense units to increase your revenue potential.
I thought perhaps I was the only one to think this might be used for Adsense arbitrage. But apparently Google thinks it's a good idea, too:
Drive high-earning traffic to your site. Use the 'Referring sites' report to determine where the users who are making you the most money are coming from. Focus your efforts on getting traffic from these sources.
One of the difficulties with Adsense arbitrage — buying traffic from a site with hopes that those visitors will click on Adsense ads and generate more revenue than you paid — is that you have to have sophisticated systems to track which ads and content sites are driving the right traffic. Now it seems Google is giving that to you for free.
4 Comments
This is a huge upgrade to Google Analytics, along with the other fools they introduced but I wouldn't take it as a promotion for Arbitrage – in fact, clients who opt-in will provide Google with the ability to better price both Adsense and Adwords clicks more "efficiently" now (translation: lower consumer surplus.)
I know this is being rolled out as an option to individual customers incrementally, but does anyone know if it requires enabling Google Analytics Data Sharing?
Not sure yet where this would lead us to. I am sure that it will provide us, the publishers more insight in how our visitors react. However, in what way the data will be used by Google is a good question…
