I have read posts saying that A. robusta is hard to grow, but they give little details of what they are...I just got a small plant which for now is doing good...but if they are hard to grow what are the issues around growing them.....
They do seem to be slower growing then other Alocasias, but other than that its doing good... |

Oh. no...here we go again....They die for no apparent reason. If you water them more than a cactus, they die. If you give them incorrect light, they die. If they get attacked by aphids, they die. If you do not provide proper air circulation, they die. If you look at them wrong, they die. Hope this answers your question. |

So, Planty, how does one grow it successfully? Who out there is growing A. Robusta successfully, and what is your secret? I want to know because I'd love to have one, too. Susan |
Even here in the tropics they seem hard to grow , the secret I think is to live in the Borneo jungle , then you may be able to grow it well . Seriously though , high heat and humidity, protection from any harsh winds , excellent drainage , and 1" of rain every morning followed by lots of bright sunlight filtered through a very high canopy of trees . Why the interest in this sp. anyway , just cause its got a big leaf ? No one will ever be able to grow it well out of its natural enviroment . |

I think I am beginning to see...after reading posts and looking at pictures of this plant in its native habitat...the problem may be that we treat this plant like we treat most other alocasias and they don't like it.... Let me try to explain...in pictures of this plant in its native habitat it looks like it grows on hillsides or sloped land, in one picture the ground even looked rocky..thats why it likes fast draining soil...they grow as individual and I have not seen them in large clumps like we see other alocasia..also indicating that it like a dryer soil.... also I notice the forest, which was more open.. So this is now my theory, its not a moist loving lowland rainforest plant but a plant that likes the dryer soil of the hills in a tropical seasonal forest or monsoon forest...which would make them like stronger light and with a dryer soil...which is not the norn for most other alocasias.... monsoon forest also have lower humidity and better air movement then low spots in the wetter rainforest areas....what people don't understand sometimes is that not all tropical forest are the same...even the Amazon forest has areas that have dry seasons, while other areas don't... What I will try is give it bright sunlight, and keep it in fast draining soil and grow it on the dry side..and see how it does.... |

Susan, My secret is I bought a dozen of them last year and my last one either died or went into dormancy last month. I will never waste time or money on such an unforgiving species. ((So, Planty, how does one grow it successfully? Who out there is growing A. Robusta successfully, and what is your secret? I want to know because I'd love to have one, too. |

Wow - that must be a really big plant in a really big pot! So what is your secret, Randy? I think I am going to lean toward Planty's opinion in that I don't want to try to grow a plant with the intention of killing it, which is what it sounds like I would be doing. Susan |
These are no problem for me to grow here in S. Florida. Water when nearly dry. Mix that drains well. They are very sensitive to wet feet when grown in a pot, so I would suspect that 90% of the problems people have is with overwatering and or using a mix that doesn't drain quickly enough. I grow in two different greenhouses. One has 50% shade factor the other 73% and I see little difference in leaf size or growth habit. High output fans run 24hrs and min. temp. is 55F. Fert is injected through drip irrigation. I mix a systemic pesticide in the potting mix, so spraying is kept to a minimum. They're fantastic, and definitely space eaters, but I don't think they qualify as hard to grow. Just a bit intolerant. |

So, on a scale of 1 to 10, in relationship to other alocasias, where would you place them, Durch? And BTW, don't I see you over on the other aroid forum a bit? Susan |
Not a big pot...I'm just real short. Seriously I've had the same experiences that others have had, grows pretty good for a while and then over night turns to mush. Randy |

I haven't had any problems with mine-- yet:). Considering all the advance warnings, I put them in clay pots with half oakleaf mold and half coarse sand. They have good color and are healthy, but really slow growing. I think I need to risk one in a richer mix next spring to see if it will grow faster. durch, Thanks, |
I use a mix of canadian peat,pine bark, coarse perlite, and vermiculite then buffer it with dolomite. I said in my earlier post that I thought 90% of the problems people experience were due to overwatering, and or wet feet. I think I should have added that overpotting (using a pot that's too large) is also a common problem. For example, it's no problem to grow a mac. variety to well over 3' in a 6" azalea pot, but if you pot up a 4" liner into a 10" or larger pot you are asking for root problems. Potbound then Potup and err on the side of neglect and I think your problems will be greatly reduced. Susan - Hard to answer from 1 -10. I wouldn't say it's any harder than most others. Just a bit fussy about water. |

What is the light requirements for A. Robusta? I thought it was full sun but Durch seems to be doing good in 50 to 73% shade. I've got one I bought a year ago which I promptly killed (or so I thought) from too much fertilizer. It died down the soil, I left it in the pot and forgot about. In the spring a little leaf came up and now its about 2ft. It currently gets a good amount of sun so I'm wondering if I should move it. Thanks |

Why this one? Why not Alocasia Macrorhiza (Borneo Giant). It's a big azz EE, and said to be easier to grow. |
- Posted by beachplant 9b (My Page) on Sun, Oct 23, 05 at 23:01
I stuck mine out in the front yard, under the Japanese Yew and forgot about it. Then last week when weeding I was trying to figure out what that big leaf was growing through the fence, it was A. robusta. So the secret? High humidity <80% year round, heavy rain followed by drought, morning sun and neglect. I've found most stuff I forget about or ignore does better than the stuff I try and baby. Good thing I'm not big on babying stuff huh? Tally HO! |
- Posted by susanlynne48 z7a-OKC (My Page) on Mon, Oct 24, 05 at 20:17
Durch - so you use the Dolomite to counter the acidic properties of the peat and pine bark? Does this mean they like an average PH? Susan |

It's been a while since I reported on Alocasia robusta, so I'm going to risk jinxing my luck and tell everyone what I've been doing with it. I hypothesized that the A. robusta must have a symbiotic relationship with some fungus or bacterium, and that is what keeps it from going extinct in the wild. To test this, I looked for any biological products on the market that would offer this kind of protection. Currently, I am trying something called PlantShield (a fungus) and Companion (a bacterium). I've also used K-Phite, which is a systemic fungicide. So far, my A. robustas are hanging in there, and have stayed alive through a cool winter and now into the south Florida spring. When I first got A. robustas from Malesiana, they grey quite rapidly and I thought I'd have a problem with space, but they also died out quite rapidly too, just as has been reported by Planty and others. If my tests prove conclusive, those of us who really want to grow A. robusta may be able to, finally. If not, you'll all have to wait for my hybrid of A. odora and A. robusta, tentatively called A. x "robodora"! Meanwhile, I have gotten a lot of seedlings growing from crossing A. "Borneo Giant" and A. macrorrhizos "Big Mac", so if you want some, start lining up! LariAnn |

May proclaimed CASA month in Louisiana
POSTED: Thursday, May 10, 2012 - 1:00am
UPDATED: Thursday, May 10, 2012 - 1:04am
Baton Rouge, La — Governor Bobby Jindal proclaimed the month of May as CASA, Court Appointed Special Advocates, month for Louisiana, acknowledging the service of some 2,000 volunteers who stand up for children in the foster care system.
In proclaiming May as CASA month for Louisiana, Governor Jindal acknowledged CASA's service as "powerful voices on behalf of over 3,700 abused and neglected children in Louisiana."
All over Louisiana community citizens volunteer their time to speak up for the best interests of a child who is in the foster care system. CASA volunteers are community citizens who, regardless of formal education or work backgrounds, have made a commitment to stand up for a child by speaking up for the child's best interest in court.
The Governor's proclamation also serves as a call to action for the community- at-large to volunteer with CASA. By giving just a couple of hours per week, a volunteer can change a life for a child.
"We (CASA) are honored to have Governor Jindal recognize the service of our volunteers and express support of the mission of CASA in Louisiana," offered Dr. John Wyble, executive director, Louisiana CASA, "but in addition to the goodwill of CASA volunteers, we know that CASA is effective and improves outcomes for children served by our program."
Independent research shows having a CASA volunteer dramatically affects permanency outcomes for children. Children with CASA volunteers are substantially less likely to spend time in long-term foster care. A child with a CASA volunteer is also more likely to be adopted. The possibility of a child re-entering the child welfare system after being reunified with his/her family is reduced by half if a CASA is involved and, more than 90% of children with CASA volunteers never re-enter foster care, a success which demonstrates that CASA prevents repeat maltreatment.

Good News Translation (GNT) | New International Version (NIV) |
1 Then I looked again at all the injustice that goes on in this world. The oppressed were crying, and no one would help them. No one would help them, because their oppressors had power on their side. | 1 Again I looked and saw all the oppression that was taking place under the sun: I saw the tears of the oppressed-- and they have no comforter; power was on the side of their oppressors-- and they have no comforter. |
2 I envy those who are dead and gone; they are better off than those who are still alive. | 2 And I declared that the dead, who had already died, are happier than the living, who are still alive. |
3 But better off than either are those who have never been born, who have never seen the injustice that goes on in this world. | 3 But better than both is he who has not yet been, who has not seen the evil that is done under the sun. |
4 I have also learned why people work so hard to succeed: it is because they envy the things their neighbors have. But it is useless. It is like chasing the wind. | 4 And I saw that all labor and all achievement spring from man's envy of his neighbor. This too is meaningless, a chasing after the wind. |
5 They say that we would be fools to fold our hands and let ourselves starve to death. | 5 The fool folds his hands and ruins himself. |
6 Maybe so, but it is better to have only a little, with peace of mind, than be busy all the time with both hands, trying to catch the wind. | 6 Better one handful with tranquillity than two handfuls with toil and chasing after the wind. |
7 I have noticed something else in life that is useless. | 7 Again I saw something meaningless under the sun: |
8 Here is someone who lives alone. He has no son, no brother, yet he is always working, never satisfied with the wealth he has. For whom is he working so hard and denying himself any pleasure? This is useless, too - and a miserable way to live. | 8 There was a man all alone; he had neither son nor brother. There was no end to his toil, yet his eyes were not content with his wealth. "For whom am I toiling," he asked, "and why am I depriving myself of enjoyment?" This too is meaningless-- a miserable business! |
9 Two are better off than one, because together they can work more effectively. | 9 Two are better than one, because they have a good return for their work: |
10 If one of them falls down, the other can help him up. But if someone is alone and falls, it's just too bad, because there is no one to help him. | 10 If one falls down, his friend can help him up. But pity the man who falls and has no one to help him up! |
11 If it is cold, two can sleep together and stay warm, but how can you keep warm by yourself? | 11 Also, if two lie down together, they will keep warm. But how can one keep warm alone? |
12 Two people can resist an attack that would defeat one person alone. A rope made of three cords is hard to break. | 12 Though one may be overpowered, two can defend themselves. A cord of three strands is not quickly broken. |
13 Someone may rise from poverty to become king of his country, or go from prison to the throne, but if in his old age he is too foolish to take advice, he is not as well off as a young man who is poor but intelligent. | 13 Better a poor but wise youth than an old but foolish king who no longer knows how to take warning. |
15 I thought about all the people who live in this world, and I realized that somewhere among them there is a young man who will take the king's place. | 15 The youth may have come from prison to the kingship, or he may have been born in poverty within his kingdom. |
16 There may be no limit to the number of people a king rules; when he is gone, no one will be grateful for what he has done. It is useless. It is like chasing the wind. | 16 I saw that all who lived and walked under the sun followed the youth, the king's successor. |
16 | 16 There was no end to all the people who were before them. But those who came later were not pleased with the successor. This too is meaningless, a chasing after the wind. |

Anchorage couple sentenced in theft of son's fund
An Anchorage couple bought a house, cars and jewelry and paid $128,000 on credit-card bills with their adopted son's trust fund. When they were done, $15.05 remained from $824,000.
The Associated Press
ANCHORAGE — An Anchorage couple was sentenced to nearly four years in federal prison for stealing thousands of dollars from the trust fund of their adopted son.
Edward Drones, 62, and Lori-Wiley-Drones, 57, were sentenced Wednesday after pleading guilty in January to five counts of wire fraud and one count of filing a false tax return, the Anchorage Daily News reported.
The state took the boy from his abusive and neglectful father and put him into foster care with the couple in 1996, when he was 5 or 6, according to prosecutors.
The couple eventually adopted the boy and sued the state in 2005 for failure to protect, saying he should not have been living with his father.
Prosecutors said the state paid the boy about $824,000, which was put into a trust fund just before he turned 18.
A court-appointed conservator for the fund balked when the couple said the boy wanted to buy the family's house, and the couple ultimately had Edward Drones appointed as the conservator in 2009, prosecutors said.
"He assured the state court that he understood his obligation to keep the child's property separate from his own and never to use the child's property for his own benefit," prosecutors said in a statement.
The couple spent about $1,000 a day during the first month after taking control of the trust fund, according to prosecutors.
They bought a house in Washington state for $220,000, vehicles totaling about $67,000, and jewelry worth more than $38,000, while directing about $128,000 to credit-card bills, prosecutors said.
The couple left $15.05 in the trust fund, according to prosecutors.

I Agree BCM sells good components, but they do not make them. I see people worshiping BCM products and arguing if they are better than other brands. For example the BCG, it is made by Daniel Defense and stamped for them. I've heard arguments between BCM and DD BCG'S. Not a valid argument, only difference is the name brand stamp. Just a random thought, I've brought this up with dealers and distributors, and They seem to know this, but why does nobody else?

WELL, BCM does things like high pressure testing, that Daniel Defence doesn't. What I boils down to is that BCM is pickier about what they order, and does testing to back it up. Theoretically this should lower the chances of having a stoppage. Though they may order from the same sources as another company, they can order testing done to make sure its of higher quality. This attention to details is what drives fan bois nutso.
But nowadays even an "entry level" brand like Delton does HPI/MPT testing on its bolts.. PS:I just sold a BCM BCG in new packaging to someone from the forums who was despearte to complete a build and marked it up onlyby 90 bucks to support fellow american during this crises.
Just because its tagged mpi/hpi doesn't mean it necessarily is. Most companies will opt to batch test, not individually test each item. If they batch test them, just how many out of a thousand made are actually test? Those companies will never say........its just easier to mark each one MPI HPI tested. BCM has posted all their testing paperwork. I'd like Delton to do the same.
I think BCM makes a fine product, however at the same time I'm not all that inclined to pay for their name. I looked at several products they sell, and they were quite a few % points higher than other reputable brands. I'm pretty picky about my guns and their parts, but this is also a ****ty economy and every dime counts. Would I use BCM were money not an object? Sure, probably all the time. While I'm unemployed and saving every penny I can? Not likely, as it just isn't cost effective.

Say what you want. Delton makes a good carbine and they make a not so good carbine. Quality depends on what you pay. Mine isnt entry level and its proven rock solid. I'll pass on the kool-aid.
I drink the hell out of some BCM kool aid. Their parts aren't that much more expensive and they're awesome. Pretty much the only BCGs and barrels I'll use.
daniel defense batch tests at best which is why the price is cheaper. since my bcm carbine and my wife's bcm carbine are firearms we will be staking our lives on when things go ohsht i want to be sure its as trouble free as can be humanly possible to make a firearm. not saying dd is bad i just know exactly how and to what standard bcm has their components made to. daniel defense and others there is some question as to that standard. i dont have to wonder if my particular bcg was actually inspected and tested i know it was. with batch testing you just have to luck out and get one out of the batch that was actually tested. my life and my wife's life are worth the extra 20$ t know its not a flawed bcg

Circa Leverage Punch
Packs Quite a Punch
The Circa Leverage Punch is well worth the price. I find it so handy to be able to write notes on whatever paper is handy at the time and later to punch and add them to the respective Circa note book. I have one caution which comes from personal experience(a result of a bad decision on my part). Make sure you don't exceed the 15 page limit when punching multiple pages. Also be aware if the items you're punching are heavyweight paper stock. I foolishly tried to punch multiple pages containing some heavy card stock and got a couple of the dies(what actually punches each hole in the paper) stuck so they didn't retract when I released the lever. Nothing I tried, would free them so I got the brilliant idea(NOT!) to take the base off and push the offending dies back in position. This was an excellent solution until it came time to put the base back on. For those of you who haven't had the urge to take this punch apart to see what makes it tick.......Don't. There are a number of individual springs which once free of their confined area, will never return to their original location. I called Levenger and admitted my act of stupidity to see if the punch was repairable and much to my surprise(and great relief) they readily said they would replace it, free of charge. They wouldn't even allow me to return the "repaired" punch at my own expense! This indicates to me that this company truly understands customer satisfaction and just doesn't use the words as an advertising slogan.

Wonderful Product!
This is a wonderful hole puncher, and would be perfect for any office or home office that is looking for a true professional look. This hole punch has a high functionality combined with ease of use. I would recommend this product to others. The only minor draw back is the price, but it is truly worth every penny.

Best punch ever for discs
I owned a different brand, then found out about Levenger. Ordered the leverage punch and re-punched all of my pages and now they turn on the discs like a dream!!! I can turn one page or a big chunk of the with ease. Love the ease of use too. Great quality. I am looking forward to years and years of use.

Circa Punch
I really like the punch a lot. I am only disappointed because I thought maybe I could get a wire binder that would also work with it instead of just the disks and could make the punches farther apart. I make some small journals and sometimes would like less disks.

Worth the money
This punch give you the extra space to make and punch your own covers of thicker, more durable material, gives you options to punch more things to make your own Levenger originals, and allows you the chance to be as creative as you want to be. I recently developed tendonitis which can hurt when I push down. But this punch does NOT stress out my wrist as all. I was reluctant to spend the money. But, this is worth it.

Excellent punch
I love this punch. It works very well and the punches it creates are very sharp and accurate, very much like the pre-punched Circa refills. I use it for the personal cook book I am maintaining which allows me to collect my favorite printed recipes and remove them easily when cooking. One thing to be careful though when you use the punch is not pinch your hand or fingers when you press the lever down.

An Essential
The Circa Leverage Punch is an essential part of the overall Circa system. It allows me to add articles and documents to my notebooks easily, so I can get and stay organized very easily. Yes -- it's a bit of a brick, but it works perfectly each and every time. I also bought the Travel punch to take with me when I travel.

The Circa Leverage Punch
Awesome punch.....the only thing that would make it better would be the ability to not punch all of the slots. I'm a teacher and purchased this punch to use for a variety of classroom applications including flashcards for students. I will only want two ore three circa discs to hold them together and I can make it work with this punch. I've seen on binding machines that schools often have a way to select which slots are punched and which ones aren't.

Nick and Mariah's Infinite Fake-Kiss (PHOTOS)
Is it just us, or do Nick Cannon and Mariah Carey always seem like they're just pretending to be attracted to each other? We're not sure what it is, but something about these two seems to suggest a lack of genuine affection.
Take this latest "Look how much we love each other!" red carpet photo-op, for example. Nick looks like he's about to lay one on The Predator instead of kissing his beautiful wife who he loves and feels attracted.
Take a closer look at the photos and tell us what you think in the comments: Are they faking it?

Peppercorn berries may have originated in India, but plenty of other places around the word have sought similar spice qualities in local plants that are now also called peppercorns. In Part 1 of our series on this "king of spices" we looked at the wide range of peppercorns available from the piper nigrum plant. In Part 2, we'll take a closer look at five other well known types of peppercorns that are not to be confused with "true" peppercorn berries.
Perhaps the most popular type of alternative pepper is the pink peppercorn. This is actually not a peppercorn in the traditional sense but instead the berry of a plant in a completely different family called shinus melle, also known as the Peruvian pepper tree. It was originally discovered in South America but now it is mostly cultivated in Madagascar, Mexico, and Australia. It is a very lightweight berry with a paper thin outer husk encasing a hard kernel. The flavor has the initial bite like green or black peppercorn but is then finished by a very fruity sweet flavor. Pink peppercorns are best used to finish a dish (especially foie gras). They can also be used in baking or in light sauces, however, you don't want to cook them for too long or at high temperatures since they easily lose their complexity. Since they are particularly soft, skip the spice grinder and try crushing them by hand or in a mortar and pestle to preserve some of their texture. In terms of quality, it is best to look for berries that are mostly intact with very few separated husks since they tend to break apart easily with age and then quickly lose their flavor.
A rather visually fascinating form of peppercorn is the long peppercorn. These peppercorns are from the same family as the traditional peppercorns of the piper nigrum plant but are in fact their own species. This inch-long bud fruit is made of hundreds of tiny seeds that surround a core stem. Their taste is like mild pepper and mild ginger combined. It is great in sweet-spicy dishes to highlight both sides of its flavor, as well as in stews. These peppercorns can both be roughly chopped or ground to extract their full flavor. Try substituting these for traditional peppercorns in any recipe to create a different and unique flavor profile. It is also great in fresh salads and coleslaws in which their complexities are not cooked away.
Sichuan Peppercorns
Also called Szechuan peppercorns or "numbing spice," these peppercorns are actually the rinds of the fruit of a shrub in the prickly ash family. Generally used in Chinese cuisine, they are very aromatic with a strong peppery flavor alongside citrusy notes that help break down fatty foods. As their alternate name suggests, they also have unique numbing qualities and should be used sparingly so as to not overwhelm your dish (or your palate). They are best roasted to release their aromatics.
From the same family as traditional peppercorns, these peppercorns are quite rare. They are from the island of Java in Indonesia where they mature on the vine until they are a bright yellow-redish color. They are then handpicked with their stem still attached (hence their name) and sun-dried on bamboo mats. The flavor combines that of a traditional black peppercorn with a citrusy sweetness and notes of lavender, cloves, and nutmeg. They also have a distinct cooling somewhat bitter menthol felling on the tongue. They are used instead of black pepper in many curry dishes, and also as a substitute to allspice or clove.
Also known as Australian Mountain Pepper, these peppercorns come from the Tasmania lanceolata plant, unrelated to piper nigrum. Rarely found outside Australia, they have a unique peppery sweetness that is great atop gamey meats. Since they are typically softer than black peppercorns they may gum up a pepper mill and are best ground instead with a mortar and pestle.

New to Blackberry, can't decide!
Hello all
Am new to blackberry, have posted in the newbies thread, but not many go in there so decided to post in here
I'm hoping to get my first BB tomorrow maybe, I can't decide which phone would be best for me, between the the 9320 curve and the 9360 curve. The reason I'm dithering really is I'm going from a touch screen samsung, I have sight problems and was wondering which was the better screen? and the best overall phone?
Any help greatly appreiciated -
The 9360 has almost double the res of the 9320
Screen info for the 9360 is 360x480 or around 245 ppi while the 9320 is 240x320 and around 165 ppi, and both have the exact same screen size (2.4") Screen is better on the 9360. Battery life and talk/standby is better on the 9320. They both have fm radio and typing is almost the same across the board. The screen size is the same, but with the 9360 taking it in resolution. The 9360 is also a touch smaller (overall size) 9320 has a bigger capacity battery though (1450 mAH) as opposed to the 9360 which is smaller at 1000 mAH.Cuius testiculos habes, habeas cardia et cerebellum...

Thank you!!
So in reality, they both have the same screen size? and its just down to screen resolution?
Thats what was bothering me really, that the 9320 seems better on all things, its just the screen res i think. - 12-19-2012, 11:12 AM #4
any particular reason for your change?
I would suggest going for a bigger screen like Torch. But then again, if you can wait for another 43 days, then the L-series will launch and it's a full touchscreen phone, much like the Samsung you're accustomed to. The bonus is that it will run BB10, which is the latest and best OS out there to date.

for a change to blackberry? one of my family members has one and i love it for the way it works and its great for my particular sight problems, because you can increase the font size which actually increases it over everything on the phone, which is brilliant for me. On other phones, font increase only works on certain areas (i'm talking to you iphone!). Also, I think increasing the font also means the size on apps is increased as well? If so, this is also brilliant for me, as the size of font on apps is something I struggle with. I also wear hearing aids and find the sound volume and sound quality during calls is much better than other phones

It's me again, am itching to get on the BlackBerry bandwagon, can't wait for BB10, but am wondering if its worth my while to buy a refurb 8900 curve to get me started. One of my family has this phone and its a great little phone.
Or am I better waiting it out for BB10? which i think is going to be too expensive for me at first? -
RIM has said it will be releasing a lower end (read lower price) BB10 device later in 2013. So you don't need to buy the more expensive first model in the early part of the year. I think your idea of buying the refurbished phone now and then the lower cost BB10 phone later is a good one, especially if you feel this choice will suit your needs.

Thank you for replying, everybody's so friendly round here
Yeah, I thought this was a good idea as that way I can be using the refurb one and be waiting for BB10 lower budget device and reading up on how well BB10 is going, can't wait for that, hope it does well for them. Also, with the 8900, I'm not sure if I can use BB App World on it or not? I know it has an internet browser similar to the samsung tocco light I'm using at the moment.Last edited by GlamGemini; 12-31-2012 at 11:07 AM.
Release dates or more specifically rumours of product releases at some future date have burned many of the BlackBerry Loyalists. I no longer trust anything announced by Research In Motion until AFTER the product is actually available (not in beta form). How many "coming soon", "within 60 days", "Summer of <YEAR>" can we take before cynicism takes root in any rational person's mind?
Thanked by:GlamGemini (12-31-2012)
It's the start of a New Year tomorrow. Fresh year = fresh belief that RIM will do as they say. It's a completely different executive and once the platform is launched manufacturing new devices is easier. Hopefully good execution will turn cynicism to belief but hey, we'll know better in a month or so.
Thanked by:GlamGemini (12-31-2012)
I decided not to wait for BB10 because I expect them to be expensive. I bought a used Torch 9810 with OS 7, and I love it. It's very fast, with a 1.2 Ghz processor, and IMO it has the best options because it has a good sized touch screen but also has a trackball and a slide-out keyboard. You get the best of both worlds, easy pinch and zoom when browsing, keypad for typing emails and SMS, and even the trackball comes in very handy when you have small font menus.
I really like this phone, and I got it for a decent price, $150.00. It retailed just a year ago for $500. Now is the best time to buy any top OS7 phones with BB10 about to be released.Thanked by:GlamGemini (12-31-2012)

my first blackberry was a curve 8520
The 9360 curve is a great phone though, and i believe it is the only smart phone that has a real radio, if you like listening to the radio that is.
i got the 9810 to get used to touchscreen as i aim to get the London when it comes out.
But try going to a shop and playing about with each model. shops often have working display units out - 12-31-2012, 12:10 PM #25
Maybe you should get the least expensive one and then you can upgrade when a bb10 phone comes out that is in your price range.

Wycliffe (WYC) | New International Version (NIV) |
49 Forsooth Aaron and his sons burnt incense upon the altar of brunt sacrifices, and upon the altar of incense, into all the work of the holy of holy things; and that they should pray for Israel, by all things which Moses, the servant of God, commanded (and they prayed for Israel, following the commands which Moses, the servant of God, had given). | 49 But Aaron and his descendants were the ones who presented offerings on the altar of burnt offering and on the altar of incense in connection with all that was done in the Most Holy Place, making atonement for Israel, in accordance with all that Moses the servant of God had commanded. |

Fans of Konami's Suikoden RPG series, long on life-support with low hope for recovery, will be glad to hear the company's announced a new spin-off for the PSP. Genso Suikoden: Tsumugareshi Hyakunen no Toki (which translates roughly as "The Centennial Tapestry") doesn't have any release details yet, but there's already a teaser thick with animated action.
Suikoden has been radio silent since 2009's well-received DS spinoff, Suikoden Tierkreis. PSP players haven't had a taste of the series since Konami remade the first two titles in the series for the handheld – and that collection never made it out of Japan. No for a localized version of Tsumugareshi Hyakunen no Toki have emerged yet, but the title already has a teaser website and Japanese-only Twitter feed.

Dear Any and All, I'm a recent university graduate on a first job out in West Kalimantan. This being West Kalimantan I have a HUGE garden (12 hectares) as well as three gardeners. My gardeners are exceedingly green in all things bar the fingers. Unfortunately I find myself with an equally deficient level of experience, knowledge and general expertise. There is a fair amount grown locally, kasava, papaya, some mango, some pineapple, rice, corn, durian, rambutan, some carrot, very rarely I can get tomato, lots of chilli, and a huge variety of anonymous green leafy stuff that is edible if cooked for long enough. Given I have such a huge garden I'd like to try to broaden what I can get locally. I've tried my own tomatoes which did hugely well until they all got killed off by what I think is bacterial wilt just before the bulk of them fruited. I got nine tomatoes from 86 plants. To be fair they were nine delicious tomatoes but I'd still rather have been inundated to the point of having everything with salsa. I am currently trying some peas which were doing great before I most recently went on leave but mostly died while I was away (I don't think they were watered at all). I have had a little more success with these though as I have already had ten yummy pods off them and they're not all dead yet! In terms of local weather we get anywhere between 3000 and 5500 millimetres of rain each year. It's above 30 degrees Celsius every day and very humid most of the time. The soil is volcanic, and very fertile. The bulk of the rain comes between October and March with there rarely being a period of more than about two weeks without rain at any time of the year. From about June to the end of August the rain decreases to about once a week on average but it's very rare to get more than two weeks without any rain and there's a decent sized lake in the garden that can be used if anything needs regular watering. As far as experience goes, I've got no gardening experience at all being somewhat city born and bred and my first experience of my gardeners was finding them sat together tying the roots of a little yellow flowering plant I'd asked them to plant a little of into a tight little ball "to make them easier to plant." As such I'm in slightly desperate need of advice and pointing in the right direction. If anyone could suggest anything (or if anyone needs a trial and error guinea pig to try things out and see if they'll work in the tropics) I'd be most grateful. Getting seeds isn't really a problem, I make fairly regular trips to Jakarta (about once a month) and am back to the UK about twice a year. I also have friends in Jakarta for anything that can be posted. There's no post where I am. We do have a box at the nearest post office which is fortunately only about 20 minutes down the road but it's pretty rare that things actually arrive and nothing has ever got there in under three weeks. Anyway anything anyone can do to assist would be most gratefully received. I'd love to get some strawberries going but I don't think there are any varieties that would survive here. Peas would be yummy too. I have some orange trees that were planted before I arrived as well as four coconuts, a rambutan tree and some papaya and pineapple. I love peaches but can't imagine ever getting them to grow. Avocado would be fantastic and I think should grow here. Passion fruit would be great too and melons. Anything else anyone can think of I'd love to try. |

You don't say what altitude you're at, that makes a big difference. Many of the vegetables you mention are grown at higher altitudes. If you're getting 30+ year round I'd say you're in the lowlands which would cut out most of the vegetables you're familiar with. Better to go to local markets and see what people are growing in the lowlands and stick with those. I'd forget about bringing seeds from the UK, stick with what you can get from Jakarta. Forget about strawberries (assuming you're in the lowlands), tomatoes are for the coldest part of your year, garden peas won't do any good, get the right corn and it'll do well. Some types of passionfruit won't do well, but there's a lot that will. Oranges don't usually do well in the tropics, the best citrus are limes (oranges that do produce in the tropics tend to stay green when ripe). Your best melons would be watermelons. Avocados are mostly grown in temperate climates but they have developed types that will fruit in the tropics, you need to choose carefully. In general, your best approach would be to check out the markets and see what's coming from the lowlands. There is a lot that you can grow, you just need to find out what it is and not waste your time on what won't grow. Good luck with it. |
Hi Sounds like tropic gave you good advice ,I grow most of the stuff you mention but during the "winter" when the temps ,humidity and rainfall drop. You certainly should be able to have a fantastic tropical garden !! local advice always seems to be best no matter where you live?? Got any pix?? have always wanted to visit that area of the world!! gary |

With such a large area to cover I would think your best option would be trees. You have a huge choice. Take a trip round the local villages and you will find plenty of gardeners who will be only too happy to sell you stuff, though you may have some problems identifying some of it unless you speak good Indonesian. If you have internet and a tablet or similar you could try showing some pictures of what you want from flickr or photobucket. Do try and find some passion fruit. You should have a good choice of types. Here is a list of good fruiting trees that we have in our (much smaller) garden), other than those already mentioned; mulberry, lychee, pitanga, starfruit, barbados cherry, mango, banana, avocado, papaya, cherimoya and brazilian grape/ jaboticaba (might be hard to find this and it is slow). You could also try some nut-producing trees, though I don't know what types are available in Indonesia. Be warned, however, a lot of them are very slow-growing. Pecan is one of the fastest. A good cheap way of stocking up quickly is to save the seed from stuff you buy on the market, though it is a long-term project in general. Passion fruit is good for starters. Don't be too ambitious; you will probably do better to clear only a relatively small area at first and leave the rest as jungle.You can then use this as a nursery for later expansion.If you want a quick cash crop, sweetcorn and/or sweet potato is fast and easy and small areas can be harvested by hand as can passion fruit and pineapple. We don't have the latter, however, as it is not well-suited in our area, so I can't advise. Be prepared for a lot of work whichever way you go, however. Good luck. Ian. |
very interesting post to say the least. as they say, forget what's familiar, go with the flow. look at US regional forums: hawaii for the most part and florida, zone 10 - the most southern besides the keys:zone11. fl forum is mixed zones, 8-10, but you can find people there in miami area and south : homestead , fl is where most tropical fruit/trees growers are. university of florida have developed many trees adjusted to heat/humidity, even peaches. but you won't be able to get those where you are. perhaps closer regions to your conditions would be in south asia - as far as getting/importing stock. a lot has been going on in thailand. may be you can import from there. you should be able to grow avocados: the west-indies varieties (caribbean), most accustomed to the heat and humidity: see tropical fruit/trees/florida forum for that. you'll need to post sev times in diff forums, asking specific questions. guess, you really need to find tropical substitutes for what you are used to. why peas of all things? get them in cans! you need to determine approx what you zone is compared to other areas - where similar growing conditions exist. certain areas of hawaii get a lot of rainfall - it could come close to yours. also may be you can get some info in european/dutch forums with indonesian connections? sorry if i sound lame, just shooting ideas. |
more on citrus: they grow pomelo in philippines and calamansi (some say calamondin is the same, some say it's different). pomelo you can eat raw, calamansi is very sour tiny 'oranges' for cooking/juicing. it is also called philipine lime. i saw a reference to growing grapefruit in hot areas of india - that might be worth looking into. also in cuba they grow sour oranges - for cooking/marinades. sour orange (Citrus aurantium, L.), is also known as bitter, bigarade, or Seville orange. In Spanish-speaking areas it may be called naranja ácida, naranja agria, or naranja amarga. In Arabia, it is naranji; in Italy, melangolo; in India, khatta; in Samoa, moli, in Guam, soap orange. and saw refs to grapefruit in cuba and india. so that might be possible for you. also there is sweet lemon (it is not sour, just mildly sweet) that can be grown in zone 11. quote: Citrus limon "Eureka" is a true lemon with the acidic flavor typically found in lemonade. Sweet lemon is actually a lemon-like, low-acid fruit known as "Millsweet" limetta (Citrus limetta "Millsweet). Hardy in U.S. Department of Agriculture plant hardiness zones 9 through 11, both trees prefer well-drained soil with a pH level between 5.5 and 6.5. however, getting actual trees to plant is another matter. best bet - other tropical countries in southeast asia/islands. |

looks like nice parkland! are those fruit trees or just ornamental? by the way, some growers from thailand ship internationally - it all depends on agro import rules where you are and how fast the plants can ship so as not to die! may be better selection/shipping from australia? rainy Hilo on big island in hawaii /carribbean/thai/philippines/aussi tropics - would be similar to your area somewhat. there are subsets of garden web for australia/europe/etc i'll poke around to find some links for seed/fruit shippers in asia. i like learning and reading about tropical anything :). by the way you should have some incredible alocasia/colocasias (elephant ears) locally - are you familiar at all with them? colocasias are edible. prime example is taro - traditional hawaiian crop. not that i like it myself. but there are various kinds of very tasty tropical sweet potatoes that you might grow instead: yams, batatas, boniatos (cuban white sweet potato). also you should be able to grow monstera deliciosa - it produces an edible large fruit (cousin of swiss cheese houseplant). peas like it cool, but some beans can def take hot/humid like lima beans and some you can eat fresh from the pod. and all are available as seeds. e.g. from australia but shipping only locally - see tropical beans at the end. http://www.greenharvest.com.au/SeedOrganic/VegetableSeeds/Beans.html it's worth looking into indian stuff (which i know very little about, except i can see it in the freezer in the supermarket!). they grow all sorts of beans/long squashes in the steamy south. oh, you might be able to get some seeds/info/sites thru UK on that! found what i think is a good place in philippines (at list to start looking, not sure about international shipping) - info on fruit trees.ships nursery trees. http://www.dizonexoticfruittrees.com/index2.htm it was referenced last year - Q on shipping/visting with recommendation on http://tropicalfruitforum.com/index.php?topic=3111.0 seems to be a very active and useful forum too! here some useful links info/growing hawaii/fl/china http://www.lycheesonline.com/links.cfm this is Caribbean puerto rican site(us territory): they ship internationally. even just getting familiar with names can take time:) http://www.montosogardens.com/tropical_fruit_trees.htm |
lots of interesting links. do you actually have a decent connection to browse or it has to be as minimal as possible? just phone? uk guy moved to no australia: info on what to grow as substitute in tropics for customary veggies: http://www.tropicalpermaculture.com/ see tabs growing veg ..fruits http://www.ctahr.hawaii.edu/fb/ is Univ of hawaii at manoa; college of tropical agriculture. fab info on all tropical varieties with sources from seeds even in foreign countries with addresses! Cultivation/climate reqs. http://www.tropilab.com/tropicalfruit.html in suriname, latin america, ships internationally seeds of tropical fruit trees, tropical veggies (calabaza - carib pumpkin, not so easy to find as i understand) this site has comments on growing and what to do with it. http://notdabblinginnormal.wordpress.com/2009/06/24/calabaza-grocery-store-on-a-vine/ . http://blog.rarefruitnursery.com/ great info philippine site - ships internationally young seedling tropical fruit trees. food travel blog http://eatingasia.typepad.com/ on the left a list of countries: explaining local produce/food. good for local names of veg/fruit/cooking terms. i don't want to overwhelm you, though i might.. here's a UK site for all sorts of tropical seeds - but ships UK only, but your mum can get it for you, surely and ship it. can we see more pics ..with comments ? what kind of stuff do you eat? grow? it could be useful to get local names for various ethnic stuff to navigate thru sites. i already have lots more 'foodie' info, if you need it on tagalog/south indian,etc wow, i had lots of fun today browsing, thanks! |

Dear All, Thanks for replies, still a bit crazy busy but will post a response in a few hours that's a bit more in depth. Thanks again hugely for all the info Petrushka. Gary, the ground cover is locally called Bunga Arakis, it's a nitrate fixer and quite comfortable to walk on. No problem with bare feet. The one we have has small yellow flowers that open early in the morning and close during the day. Fish seem to absolutely love the flowers. I will try to get you an up close picture soon. Maybe someone can provide a better identification. Needs some weeding but isn't too hard to keep under control and beats the grass options that I've seen locally. |
might it be you're walking on some cousin of arachis? aka peanut? they are legumes, they fix nitrogen in the soil, look just like your pic too! at least from the distance. poke in the soil - may be you'll get a peanut out? ! LOL. of course, hard to see, need a closer pic. peanuts as ground cover in borneo! sensational! ;))). i'll ease up on links, promise. think you got enough to start for now.... once you hook up with some 'local'people...like on java or bali - it should get much easier :). |
garyfl, i found some posts in florida forum referencing 'perennial peanut' as groundcover, avail. at lowes, hd. arachis glabrata (yellow flowers) is best, arachis pintoi grows much higher, 12"? both thrive in the heat. so it definitely could be a peanut. here's uof hawaii on pintoi (it's grown in australia too) http://www.ctahr.hawaii.edu/sustainag/CoverCrops/perennial_peanut.asp for perennial peanut only flowers are edible: in salads and stir-fry. and it is a cover crop and deters bad nematodes too. the edible peanut that we know is arachis hypogaea. |
Do you have agricultural centers there like we have in the USA? They have a wealth of knowledge about gardening,etc. |

^This. Great work.

Awww.. No planes on strings... Still...
Re: Smoke Screen
Oh! I want this to print!!! She is so lovely; totally a silent film star or early talkie starlet. Wonderfully done!
ChaosDoctor07 wrote:Awesome shirt and idea. However...even though it's a parody, of sorts, of the candy "commercials" before movies, I'm not so sure this fits the theme.
I sort of agree with this. It is a good shirt and I know someone that would wear it... but I wish it was more on theme.
Re: Swashbuckler Island
I'll agree to the contemporary feel of this to a point, but... I'm just sayin.
Re: Pirating movies
This reminds me of the Pirates of Penzance play... where they run into a theater to hide from the police, and end up right in the middle of HMS Pinafore (a play with a boat), and have a swashbuckling fight with the policemen
Re: Ticket to Ride
I don't have any glasses to check - does it work?
Re: Delusions of grandeur
Awesomely cute, and not in a barfmaking way.

I'd wear the hell outta this.

Well, the thumbnail looks like you're giving us all the finger. I'll give you a vote for that alone.

As a kid I was the one on the left. Wait... still am.
Re: Timmy Trickster and Mr.Moneymine
I left in a hurry for work so I forgot to make sure that I asked for input! Please tell me what you think, and how I could improve my design. This is because I am trying to avoid making a tree or an octopus just because my tree and octopus designs have disproportionately large numbers of votes compared to all my other entries. However, I will whip out a Octotree next time if I cannot garnish more votes with my other designs.
Re: Kiss Noir
I have enjoyed every design I have seen you submit. This may be a personal issue, and I don't know how others feel about it, but your overuse of halftones always kills it for me. I don't know if it's because the lpi is to low or its just that there is so much half toning going on, but something seems off to me. Regardless, your work is still great. Keep it up!
Dutchbunch5 wrote:This would probably do better on the new silver or slate color.
I tried the silver, and it just drowned out the design. It only really looked good on white and cream to me.
Finally a good godzilla shirt!!!! Nice job Walmazan you got this derby down. Only shirt with my vote so far.
Re: Scream Queen
I love it!
I love Harold Lloyd, but I don't see why this isn't rejected yet...I guess because he's not Charlie Chaplin?
Re: King Kong
Adorable!!! I would wear this!
i like this but at the same time the person seems almost to separate from the background almost two styles. background is more detailed and the guy is more cartoony. still nice though and well done
contemporaryscarlett wrote:Just my personal opinion, and perhaps this is intentional but the female looks like a 2011 woman playing pirate dress-up. She doesn't look like someone from the silver screen era, especially the straight blunt edge cut hair.
Yeah, I had the same thought. And come to think of it, the styling of this shirt reminds me a lot of this artwork from World of Warcraft. Very contemporary especially for a swashbuckler, and it really doesn't fit.

That's what I was going for. It was a coin-toss, in the end, whether I added the strings holding up the space ships :>
paigeg wrote:I'll agree to the contemporary feel of this to a point, but... I'm just sayin.
Well there was a smattering of females dressed as pirates in the classic swashbucklers and I'll agree that this girl is wearing a pirate outfit but she just as easily (or perhaps more appropriately) belongs in the contemporary pirate genre such as Pirates of the Caribbean. The fit of the clothes along with the wide kick ass stance would never be in an old school classic, to say nothing of her features and hairstyle. So to me she is a just a girl in a pirate outfit rather than any homage to the classic swashbuckling genre. She belongs in a pirate themed derby not a classic movie one.
Really nice framing!
Another great idea delivered clear and clever walmazan. Do like the bluish hue of your dark color on the silver shirt.
Re: Mr Murder
Wow, this is my favorite design by far. Awesome, awesome execution on this. Would buy in a heartbeat.
The humble beginnings of a great cinematic moment. A very appealing design that suits the shirt well Naolito.
Re: intermission
Classic stylings of advertising in a bygone era. The unease the cigarettes create while remaining oblivious is really neat.
Leahbh wrote:this looks like it might be outside woot's printable area.
Should be fine. It fits in the box in the new template.
Re: Singin' In The Storm
haha! so funny and clever! Plus, wow for the coloring! +1
I won't join the debate but will say you really nailed the painted poster style of the era.
paigeg wrote:I don't have any glasses to check - does it work?
I think it should; I've got the colors on the correct sides. And the stars don't have colored shadows because they're so far away, and certainly not pinholes in a studio curtain *cough*
Re: Heaven's Devils
looks so nice on the tee, love it!
Re: burrito scene
hahhahaha! love it!
Re: Monster Movie
this is so good, and love love the style in this one! +1

Re: across the sunset
Hey odysseyroc, I think you are versatile designer and a great colorist. Hopefully you don't find it too harsh of me to suggest that this feels like a preliminary drawing compared to a lot of your other stuff. I appreciate people might go for the sketchy style, but always wonder how your ideas would develop if this was treated as a mock-up, then fleshed it out with more polished execution. These are the thoughts of an admirer of your work, so hopefully you take it as such.
Re: Kabam!
Too hard not to look at this and hear the whistle and hammer sound effect. Good job Boots!
Re: After the Credits
Classic gag to match the classic cinema. The style really suits the era too.

I have been watching tennis for a while now and I'm just now catching on to Shriver's humor. I didnt like her for a long while because of the things that she said. But it took me a while to realize when she is playing and when she is serious because she used the same tone of voice. I think alot of people misunderstand her. Thats probably the reason she is so unpopular. But I've been listening to her during this tournament and she just says crazy random stuff out of no where. Yeah this thread was pretty pointless but I was just wondering if there was anyone else out there who knew what I was talking about.
