Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Drifters are not shiftless
Sideways motorsport thrives on high-speed turns, shredded tires
The tires on Vaughn Gittin Jr.'s Ford Mustang are shrieking as he jerks his car sideways at nearly 145 km/h on this serpentine racetrack in Long Beach, Calif.
Walls are closing in on either side, leaving no room for mistakes.
As the next turn nears, Gittin pumps the clutch and yanks a neon-green hand brake. The rear wheels lose traction, sending the car into a power slide and unleashing a torrent of smoke into the packed grandstands.
The move brings nearly 15,000 spectators to their feet. This is what they came to see: drifting.
What began as an illegal hobby in California parking lots has grown into a multimillion-dollar motorsport appealing to a new generation. The Formula Drift series opened its 10th season this month on city streets near the Long Beach Arena.
"This is the big time," said Jim Liaw, president and co-founder of Formula Drift. "We're not just guys tearing up asphalt in parking lots anymore."
Drifting has nothing to do with racing. There's no checkered flag. It's more like figure skating than speedskating, with a three-judge panel awarding points based on speed, angle of attack and style.
They take points away for going off course, stalling or running into course markers -- including walls. And for driving straight. The goal is to control the car as it slides sideways around turns, as if on ice, at full throttle.
Drift cars get beaten like rented mules. Drivers run them into walls, blow up their turbochargers, snap their axles. Tires get shredded and tossed like dirty hankies.
But the drivers seem to hold up pretty well; there has never been a fatality at an organized drift event.
The events take place over two days. On Fridays, drivers make solo runs around the track to qualify for the next round. On Saturdays, the top 32 drivers take to the track in tandem runs in which the two cars are door to door, mere inches apart.
In tandem runs, one is designated a lead car. The chase car must follow its driving line as closely as possible. Then they alternate.
Lead cars try to create a gap or they try to block the chase car to force it off course.
Legend has it that drifting started in the 1960s in the snowy mountains of Japan, where drivers would slide cars through tight turns. In time, it found its way into Japanese motorsports when racers would speed into the apex of a corner, then drift through it rather than brake.
Eventually, drifting found its way to the U.S. and into southern California's car culture.
Rear-wheel-drive cars are essential. Japanese imports are often favourites, such as the Nissan 240SX and 350Z, the Mazda RX-7 and older Toyota Corollas. Much like in the hotrod generation, car shops churn out parts that enable drifting enthusiasts to burn rubber at ever-increasing speeds.
The sport has brought an influx of business to makers of go-fast parts.
"It was once considered a fad," said Specialty Equipment Market Association spokesman Peter MacGillivray. "Not anymore."
Tire manufacturers dig it the most. Nitto Tire USA Inc., based in Cypress, Calif., sponsors three Formula Drift drivers, each of whom shredded about 20 tires in one weekend in Long Beach.
Detroit automakers have taken notice as well, sponsoring several drivers. They see it as a way to connect with future consumers, a younger generation more inclined to watch a three-minute drift tandem than a three-hour NASCAR race.
Once rarities in competition, Dodge Vipers and Chevrolet Camaros are commonplace. The Ford Mustang has also been increasingly popular in drifting because of drivers like Gittin.
The 32-year-old native of Joppa, Md., started drifting as a weekend hobby. In the early 2000s, after getting off his shift as an IT professional in Arlington, Va., Gittin would pack his Nissan 240SX full of tires and drive 31/2 hours to New Jersey, where he'd compete in the same car, his daily driver.
Today, his Mustang RTR -- all 845 horsepower of it, painted black and neon green -- is waiting for him when he shows up at an event. He's sponsored by Monster Energy Drink.
"One thing about this sport is that power is unlimited," Gittin said. "But don't get it wrong -- I've been beaten by guys with four-cylinders."
Kenshiro Gushi, 26, drives a turbocharged four-banger Scion FR-S for GReddy Racing. He learned drifting from his father, who moved the family to San Gabriel, Calif., from Okinawa, Japan, when he was a baby.
By 13, Gushi was drifting on the dry lakes in a 1986 Toyota Corolla. Two years later, he was caught drifting in the City of Industry, Calif. A year later, it happened again, so Gushi was promptly suspended from getting a driver's licence until he was 21.
"In those days, events would take place in a parking lot," Gushi said. "We'd drift one corner at a time."
There will be seven Formula Drift events nationwide in the U.S. this year, as well as others in Indonesia, Malaysia and Australia.
When the Fast and the Furious movie franchise came out with Tokyo Drift in 2006, it raised the profile of the sport in the U.S., grabbing younger audiences.
Earlier this month in Long Beach, hip-hop music blared to a crowd of people in their 20s and 30s.
One was 23-year-old David Koh, a student from Corona, Calif., who has slapped a turbocharger on his 1993 Nissan 240SX and drifts in empty parking lots.
"It's cool to see the pros do it," he said at the event. "I'd do it more if I could, but I need money for new tires."

"Who but God could make the day,
And gently tuck the night away.
This little humble, but "mighty" verse, was written by one of my *favorite poets* Helen Steiner Rice. And this is a silhouette of the sun going down, over one of the many sky lines of Charleston, S. Carolina. I always loves seeing the flag flying in the right hand corner, and the blaze of the sun, as it slowly slipped away. While I was there, I got the most awesome _*sunrises_* also! Lets just say, I like it more than Myrtle beach. :)
Lovely work, & color.
Hi Annie!! Thank you, w/a/m/h!!!!!! xxxxx

Say I have two tables. One, lets call it typeDB, has for rows consisting of an index, a type name, and a list of IDs for elements in the other table which are of this type. To get the rows from the second table - lets call it dataDB - of type 0, I could then basically do (in sloppy pseudocode):
$list = SELECT list FROM typeDB WHERE index=0
And then I could get the rows from dataDB using:
$array = explode($list)
for (every element of list $i)
$results = SELECT * FROM dataDB WHERE index=$array[$i]
So my question is... is this any faster than just having a type field in dataDB, and then doing:
$results = SELECT * FROM dataDB WHERE type=$type
My thought was that because the first method didn't have to go through the entire database, it would be faster. But I don't really know how the database queries work. Which way do you think would be the most efficient? Thanks.

Everybody has that one movie that they've watched so many times, "knowing it by heart" doesn't even begin to describe the relationship. It's the film that you drop everything to watch when it comes on TV, or that you bought and wore out the VHS copy, and then the DVD and the Blu-Ray... and you're still happy to watch it again on Netflix. Maybe it all started with what your family liked to watch (or what they hated) or what ended up in your stocking at holiday time, or what you fell in love with at the theater.

Robbins, a successful TV and film producer, switched his focus to digital media after producing a movie with YouTube star Fred (real name Lucas Cruikshank).

I love St. Patrick's day. It may be because my favorite color is green, or may be because I secretly hope there is a pot of gold foil covered chocolates at the end of every rainbow. However, I do not care for the over the top theme decorating. Don't worry I saved the day. I found 17 NON-tacky St. Patrick's day decorating ideas that are done with class! Nothing over the top or tacky, I promise!

I love that almost all of these projects can be put up for St. Patrick's day but left out through spring.

Aboriginal Student Achievement Program Learning Communities
Last fall, Aboriginal students from our ASAP Learning Communities participated in a competition to design a promotional video. The best pitch was selected to be filmed, featuring the ASAP students as the stars of the show. Take a look at what students had to say about the Aboriginal Student Achievement Program in the final product!
At the University of Saskatchewan, a Learning Community (LC) is a small group of students who share common interests, ideas, and/or classes. LC students gather in a weekly LC Hour, guided by two student Peer Mentors, and together explore the dynamic potential of their local and global communities.
ASAP Learning Communities bring together Aboriginal First Year students who take a common set of courses, meet weekly with upper year students called Peer Mentors and connect with Aboriginal role models.
ASAP focuses on student success by providing support in multiple areas:
- Aboriginal Student Achievement Office (ASAO) Advisors offer holistic support;
- Academic support through tutorials;
- Social interactions through Learning communities;
- Financial support from Bursaries;
- Small class sizes;
- Culturally sensitive Instructors;
- Courses to build academic skills;
- Cultural events and time with Elders.
TERM 1 - Course Offerings for 2015-16 Coming Soon
Registration Opens May 11th 2015 at noon on this page
ASAP Students say…
"The ASAP Learning Communities helped me feel comfortable with the University and with my fellow classmates"
"I like being in a small group with other students that are starting at the University"
"Not only do small classes allow for more comfort when participating in discussions, it allows students to build relationships with their professors"

Researchers at the University of Toronto have found that gut bacteria drive a common form of colon cancer, and that a low-carbohydrate diet can prevent the disease. The researchers found that microbes in the intestine convert carbohydrates into metabolites that spur cancer growth. A low-carbohydrate diet shut down this process and led to a 75 per cent reduction in cancer incidence.
Instead of falling for false comparators, how can we have a broader, proactive conversation on the future of Canadian health care? Boston's book highlights how isolated and frustrating the experience of a patient seeking treatment for a life-altering disease can be. She describes much of her frustration as stemming from rushed appointments that left little time for asking questions. What improvements in system efficiency or changes to compensation models would enable physicians to spend more time providing quality, patient-focused care?
Those approaches, for unhealthy eating in particular, can be a real challenge, because they bang hard against the reactor core of our economic system -- consumption. Consumption and lots of it. Like tobacco, the fight for healthy eating will challenge the heart of what companies do: sell as much as they can.
When it comes to fighting brain tumours, having a strong and supportive team is the greatest weapon. I've been a social worker on the neurosurgery floor of a hospital for over 26 years. As one of the first people to have contact with a newly diagnosed brain tumour patient, I can attest that a strong network, a resilient team, is one of the greatest assets a patient, and their families, can equip themselves with as they begin this new chapter of their lives.
In September of 2013, Jocelyn Leda Simard was diagnosed with stage four breast cancer and bone metastases. Her family was told that she would likely not survive to see Christmas. Shattered, but strong, her family members refused to give in to despair. It was then that her son, Justin, came up with an inspiring idea.
So often we hear only about the lack of collaboration that exists across our country, but this is not the case here. These partners have committed to not only working together to address key cancer care issues with and for First Peoples, but also to track and measure the impact of the work together.
With growing wealth in many developing countries around the world, diet and lifestyle changes are showing dramatic increases in obesity and related diseases like diabetes, heart disease and cancer. But more than rising standards of living, lack of education seems to contribute to these dismal trends.
Turmeric is popular spice that is found in curries, etc. It contains enormous anti-inflammatory properties that can act as a natural 'fire extinguisher' to quench inflammation. Inflammation provides cancer cells an advantage to grow, thus anything we can do to reduce it will help reduce our risk of not only cancer, but most chronic disease facing developed nations today.
Inspired by the popularity of online dating, Associate Professor Catherine Sabiston is hoping to help cancer patients find their perfect exercise "match" post-treatment. "One of the biggest barriers that women with cancer identify is lack of social support," said Sabiston. "They say that if they just had someone to knock on their door and pull them out of the house, they'd exercise. It made me wonder how to match these women with other women so that they can get that social support and hopefully exercise more."
After a bout of severe vomiting following a few bites of food, she went to the ER and refused to leave until she got answers. She knew in her heart something was seriously wrong. After a series of tests, a gynaecologist arrived to break the news. It was indeed ovarian cancer. In fact, a tumour the size of a grapefruit was removed from her body.
As a dietitian and health counselor, I have no problem with declaring obesity a disease, especially considering the complexity of potential causes, some of which are indeed beyond an individual's control. Having said that, I also believe that the only appropriate response to illness is to make every effort to overcome it as quickly possible.
Yes, I'm talking about the cancer card. I shamelessly milked that card until it ran dry. You have a condition others don't, so why not use it to your advantage? I'm sure you'd prefer not having cancer. But you do. So milk it to get special favours and free stuff. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.
Over the last couple of years I have really been watching what I've been eating and working out regularly, mixing up running, going to the gym and a lil P90X action. My dad suffered a stroke almost 8 years ago, and I really wanted to start taking care of myself. For the most part I make my own food because I want to know what was going into what I was eating.

Man Admits to Posing as Woman Cab Driver in D.C., Stealing $200K
LANHAM, Md. (WNEW) — A man has pleaded guilty to a scheme in which he offered rides to people who had been drinking in D.C., and then stole their bank cards.
The U.S. Attorney's Office for D.C. says 50-year-old Nyerere Mitchell, of Clinton, Maryland, targeted more than 60 people between April 2009 and November 2013.
Mitchell, driving a silver Range Rover and sometimes wearing padded breasts and a wig, would offer rides to individuals he believed had been drinking, according to the investigation.
The victims, in general, were intoxicated, and would give Mitchell their bank cards and pin numbers and allow him to get cash out to pay for their ride. He created situations in which the passengers would provide him with the pin numbers and cards because the ATMs were on the driver's side of the vehicle.
Authorities say Mitchell often withdrew hundreds of dollars from the ATMs instead of what his "customers" thought would be fees between $10 and $40. He would then switch the victim's ATM card with another one that he had stolen earlier. Mitchell would then use the stolen card to purchase money orders, many of which he deposited into his credit union account, or make large purchases at retail stores, authorities say.
An investigation by the Metropolitan Police Department led to a search of Mitchell's home in November. Officers recovered 205 stolen credit cards in plastic bags inside a shoe box. They also found a wig that Mitchell can be seen wearing in bank surveillance footage. Mitchell was arrested Nov. 27.
Mitchell pleaded guilty in the Superior Court of D.C. to five counts of first-degree felony fraud. Each charge carries a statutory maximum of 10 years in prison and financial penalties.
The plea agreement calls for him to pay $228,036 in restitution. A judge scheduled his sentencing for Oct. 10. He also ordered that Mitchell be incarcerated pending the sentencing.

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 27, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- A powerful storm is forecast to bring heavy rain and high winds to Northern California, starting Wednesday morning and lasting through Sunday. The winds, combined with ground-saturating rain, could result in falling trees taking down power lines and poles and interrupting electric service.
To prepare for such storms and minimize outages, Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E) has extensive training, preventive maintenance and tree pruning programs. Each year, the utility inspects every mile of line in its service area—more than 130,000 miles total—and spends more than $180 million to reduce the hazards from trees and bushes.
When outages do occur, PG&E employees remain focused on ensuring public safety, determining the extent of the damage, providing customers with timely and accurate information, and restoring service as quickly as possible.
During outages, PG&E communicates with customers regularly and through many channels about when power is expected to be restored. Customers can call our 24-hour Outage Service Line at 1-800-743-5002 to report an outage, to report a hazardous condition or to get the latest information on outages in their community. Outage information is also available online through a live outage map and storm guide at www.pge.com/outages; through PG&E's Twitter feed at www.twitter.com/pge4me; and through PG&E's Facebook page at www.facebook.com/pacificgasandelectric.
PG&E offers these suggestions to help customers get ready for the oncoming storms:
- If you see a downed power line, assume it is energized and extremely dangerous. Do not touch or try to move it—and keep children and animals away. Report downed power lines immediately by calling 911 and PG&E at 1-800-743-5002.
- Do not use candles because of the risk of fire. If you must use candles, use extreme caution. Do not use candles near drapes, under lampshades or near holiday trees. Keep candles away from small children, and do not leave candles unattended.
- If your power goes out, turn off or unplug all electric appliances; otherwise, several appliances may come back on at once and overload your circuits when power is restored. Hot appliances also pose a fire hazard if they come back on while you're away or asleep. Leave a single lamp on to alert you when power returns. Turn your appliances back on one at a time when conditions return to normal.
- Have battery-operated radios with fresh batteries ready for updates on storm conditions and power outages.
- Have battery-operated flashlights with fresh batteries on hand.
- Have a cell phone or hard-wire, single-line telephone on hand. Cordless phones will not work without electricity.

Wearable technology was dominant at this year's International Consumer Electronics Show (CES) , and MWC was no exception to this trend. New versions of favorites, such as the Samsung Gear (three new products were released: the Gear 2, the Gear 2 Neo and the Gear Fit), shared the limelight with new wearables like Pebble Time Steel (the new premium version of the company's previously released smartwatch) and the LG Watch Urbane. The most dramatic difference at MWC was an emphasis on presenting wearables as fashion accessories and moving away from the original clunky technology associated with t...

We then cooked tea and settled in for the long wait at dock no. 5.

However, it was Sunday and we have found that wherever we have been in Europe the traffic has been very light ...

It's funny how sometimes when I'm out of blog ideas, my everyday gaming somehow gives me one. I was playing a certain 2D platformer when suddenly I realized there were no ice levels so far. I love ice levels! I like how they remind me of Christmas, how the music is usually festive or ambient and fun and I love how tricky they can be when sliding on the icy surfaces.
Out of the many elements that inhabit video games, like fire, water, forest, wind, shadow etc., ice is my favorite. Allow me to show you my favorite ice levels in video games.
Classic, just classic. Shiny ice that only fire can melt? Check. Slippery snow/ice covered surfaces? Check. Cold and dark moody background? Check.
Everything about this level just does it right. Riding on the ski lifts is both hard and fun. Eating red watermelon to spit out fire and melt ice to unlock collectibles is cool as heck and it definitely requires some planning to get everything. But there's one thing that sells this entire level, skiing!
Look at cute little Baby Mario and his snow hat. The first picture above has a dark night time sky but when you ski and go down the mountain, not only does it start snowing, you get closer to the sun rise and the background changes. And you gotta be careful too because if you mess up and trip over a rock Yoshi will roll until he becomes a giant snowball.
Starting off the list strong!
Ohhh Triple Deluxe how I love you.
Remember how I said the music in Ice levels are usually festive or ambient? Well here's the ambient sample.
Weird right? Stage 5 in Triple Deluxe's Old Odyssey is one for the books. Just look at that picture and listen to this music. Do you see the glowing stars in the cold dark blue sky? Do you see the frozen ground? Do you see the beautiful frozen floating fountains in the background? Not only does this level get the environment right, it gets the gameplay right. In the background a snowball will roll and build up until it is a snow boulder, it will then launch towards you. This can lead to cool puzzles and hidden secrets. This is my favorite level in the game.
Best part about this level? "Three Little Pigs" reference...
Now I know it's a little iffy to count an entire galaxy as one level, but by the end of it I felt like I left one great and memorable world. The ice flower power-up is super sweet, just ice skating and creating ice under your very own feet! And that applies to lava too, because screw physics!
Speaking of fire, as some readers may know by now, I really like the combination of two elements in levels. This entire galaxy plays with that and does it perfectly with opposites, fire and ice. Just an awesome galaxy and an awesome ice level.
Twilight Princess is a good Zelda game.
Wait, Snowpeak Ruins is in that game? Excuse me, Twilight Princess is a GREAT Zelda game!
If there's one section that really stood out to me in this game it was the whole Snowpeak section. From breaking the icy leaf off the tree and snowboarding down a snowy hill all the way to the final slash on Blizzeta, it's all good cold fun. The thing that stood out to me the most about this place is the ice, yeah....in an ice level... But never before have I seen such beautiful ice in a video game. It looked frosted and yet you can see reflections on it. The beauty doesn't stop there, as the whole house, frozen or not looks very cool and the music just adds to this weird lonesome chilly feel. This whole place was a great way to spice up dungeons in the game.
Oh and I almost forgot I FREAKING LOVE SMASHING STUFF UP WITH THE BALL AND CHAIN! Seriously that item needs to come back and be put to even better use.
Wait....not like this....listen to this while reading...
Do you see what I see? It's Christmas! The snow falling from the dark glowing sky, the festive as fudge music, the gorgeous shining ice, all the snow and most of all...ice skating! Seriously, when they showed that clip of a few players riding the giant skate in this game, I was sold. This level is pure video game bliss with a few extra people. Whenever I play this level I am instantly taken to a winter wonderland full of happy fun times.
I was a little heart broken at first that the skates and this Christmas-y feel didn't make it into the other levels.
But you know what? That just makes this level even more special.
So as summer approaches I'm gonna keep cool by playing these sweet ice levels.
As always, thanks for reading.

Big Ben set to golf in sport's birthplace
Big Ben set to golf in sport's birthplace
Posted: Saturday, May 26, 2012
Mike Bires
Ben Roethlisberger is off to play some of the best courses in Ireland and Scotland.
PITTSBURGH - Ben Roethlisberger's passion for golf will soon take him to places where the sport originated.
In late June, the Steelers' star quarterback will take a golf vacation in Ireland and Scotland.
"It's going to be awesome," Roethlisberger said. "Three days in Ireland and a week in Scotland ... 12 rounds in 10 days. So we have a lot of golf to play at some of the best courses in the world."
Roethlisberger, a 3-handicap, will make the trip with three friends.
After a Steelers' organized team activity workout Thursday, Roethlisberger didn't have a list of every course he'll play. But he said he'll definitely tee it up at Kildare Hotel & Golf Club in Ireland, which is commonly known as the K Club, and the Old Course at St. Andrews in Scotland.
St. Andrews is considered by many as the place where golf originated in the early 1400s.
"I've played a lot of great golf courses (in the United States), but I've never played in Ireland or Scotland before," Roethlisberger said. "That's the Mecca of golf. So I'm really looking forward to it."
When Roethlisberger golfs in western Pennsylvania, he usually plays at some of the better courses. He's a member at The Club in Nevillewood, Treesdale Golf & Country Club and New Castle Country Club. He also belongs to a private venue in Lake Oconee, Ga., where he owns a home.
Before heading to Ireland and Scotland, Roethlisberger doesn't expect to get a phone call from Tiger Woods like he did three years ago.
After Roethlisberger was selected to play in an event called the U.S. Open Challenge in 2009, Woods called and told him he couldn't break 100. Roethlisberger would be playing the Bethpage Black course on Long Island, N.Y., the site of that year's U.S. Open.
Playing in a foursome that included former NBA star Michael Jordan and singer/actor Justin Timberlake, Roethlisberger shot an 81.
Roethlisberger won't make any predictions on how he'll play in Ireland and Scotland. But he's excited and ready for the challenge.
"It's going to be pretty hardcore," he said.
Roethlisberger said his golf trip to Ireland will begin with breakfast with Dan Rooney, the Steelers' chairman emeritus who's in his last year as the U.S. Ambassador to Ireland.
"Our first stop is breakfast at Mr. Rooney's house (in Dublin)," Roethlisberger. "Then we're off to play some of the very best courses in Ireland and Scotland. I can't wait to get there."

Before the Poison LP
Before the Poison LP (Paperback)
Usually Ships in 1-5 days
After twenty-five years abroad in America, Chris Lowndes decides to return to the Yorkshire dales of his youth. The rambling old mansion he buys is charming, but something about it disturbs hima feeling made ever stronger when he learns that the house was the scene of a murder more than fifty years before. The former owner, a prominent doctor named Ernest Arthur Fox, was supposedly poisoned by his beautiful and much younger wife, Grace. Arrested and brought to trial, Grace was found guilty and hanged for the crime.
The more Chris discovers about the case, the more convinced he becomes that Grace may have been innocent. Ignoring warnings to leave things alone, he sets out on a quest that takes him deep into the past and into a web of secrets that lie all too close to the present.

Tunisia presses other Arab leaders to support Palestine financially
The latest developments on the Palestinian scene and in the Middle East were the focus of the talk that Interim Prime Minister Hamadi Jebali had Monday in Gammarth with Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas.
After the meeting, Hamadi Jebali told the press that he had reiterated to the Palestinian President the support of the Government and the Tunisian people to the Palestinian cause, voicing hope to see the Palestinian people achieve more progress and prosperity, in particular, after "the important step" made and consisting in Palestine's access to the Non-Member Observer State Status in the United Nations.
He underlined that "Tunisia will spare no effort at the level of the Arab League to encourage Arab leaders to lend financial support to their Palestinian brothers, notably in this difficult financial stage which the Palestinian Authority is going through."
Hamadi Jebali also said he had briefed President Mahmoud Abbas on the democratic experience in Tunisia, asserting the determination of the Tunisians to ensure success of this process in spite of the hardships experienced by the country.

Hi - I had a volunteer cantaloupe vine grow in my garden this year. When I went to check the biggest one yesterday, it came right off in my hand when I barely had touched it.
Does this mean it is ripe? I want to have it for breakfast but I'm afraid to cut into it until I know for sure that it is. Although, I guess it won't ripen any further now, just get softer.
If it falls off easily it should be ripe enough to eat. Yours looks ripe. If there is green in the background below the netting then they may need to set a day or two. A really ripe one also usually has a good aroma in the stem area.
Thanks, Gator_rider 2! I did open it up and it was definitely ripe - and very tasty.
Last year my husband and I started a compost pile. I guess it didn't break down enough as, after he put some around the garden, there were all kinds of volunteers popping up. There was some very healthy spinach but most looked like squash. We kept a few of those - they ended up being ornamental squash. One vine had different looking leaves so I decided to keep it and it turned out to be the cantaloupe.
I didn't think the growing season where I live was long enough to grow melons. Now that I know I can, I plan to grow more next year. I hope to find some heirloom seed or at the very least non-GMO.
