Do you like Philodendrons and why?
I can tell you, that me, yes me, with all my dozens of rare tropicals actually own about a half dozen of them..
I have many because they are easy to grow in a spot nothing else does, require less attention with watering needs, never gets pests, grow like crazy, easy to root and don't need full sun..lol
I have several kinds....Most are variegated and very pretty colored..
Did I leave anything out?
meyermike, yes, I love Philodendrons--why be a snob about such a wonderful group of plants?! I have the common climbing variety and the selloum variety. Have you ever seen either Pothos, Monstera or Philodendron in the tropics?! They are massive and awesome!
I only have one and I like it because it does this:
As you know, it then starts to do this:
I don't know what kind it is, another customer at the nursery said it was "some kind of philo". My annoying, finicky Tacca chantrieri seedling lives under it,
Without having seen the whole plant, the Philo in the photo looks like P. erubescens. What a lot of people don't seem to realise is what they call Pothos isn't a Pothos at all but an Epipremnum. Pothos is a completely different genus of plants with about 50 species and most people will have never seen (or even heard of) one. As a generalisation Philodendron and Monstera seem to do better in the subtropics or cooler tropics, Epipremnum do well in the warmer tropics.
Unless I'm forgetting somebody, I have 7 kinds of Philo. They are awesome, virtually un-kill-able plants, and keep growing all winter. They have some of the longest-lasting individual leaves I know. None of them want a prime spot closest to a window, and adapt well to hanging or regular pots, even trellises. Among just 7 different ones, there's one that's about the fastest-growing plant I have (heart-leaf) and one of the slowest (with very big burgundy leaves, NOID as of yet.)
Adding cousins to the mix, there's a lot more, several Pothos (Epipremnum) cultivars, Scindapsus, Monstera, Ceropegia, Syngonium.
Cool to know, thanks! I was listing others people can mistake for Philos, and that I consider it related in character/habit, a vine with aerial roots, usually in a hanging basket. Not well said above, my bad.
Morning & Howdy All,
Finally able to access GW via IE.
As to your question regarding Philos..
In the beginning, Philodendrons elegens were most common here in IL.
Philo was one of the first, top 10 plants I grew, 'Spiders,' too.
Philos have different shapes and colors.
Mike, I must disagree about Philos not needing sun.
Large leaf, variegated types need light. Lots of it. Not direct necessarily, but a few hours of full sun.
This summer I moved 3 Philos in a brighter location. Two variegated types were losing its 'white'..Once they were placed in SW windows, color resumed, and new foliage grew larger.
Thinner leaf Philos need less light, but to keep varigation, they must have some light. Unlike Pothos that grow anywhere.
I have 16 Philos...more if I hadn't taken Purple's advice combining plants. lol.
Hope everybody is well. Hugs,Toni
Hi Toni, good to hear from you!
I don't understand this that you said, "Not direct necessarily, but a few hours of full sun." Was that to what I said about not needing a prime spot near a window? I've got spots by windows that are equivalent to full sun outside, so I meant the Philos are happy in other spots, not needing the sunniest I have. P. bipinnatifidum gets a spot with some direct light, and 'Brasil.' I think we are saying the same thing, just differently, in some homes/windows, a particular Philo could need the most sun of one's plants. They're definitely not all alike regarding light preference. Sorry if I gave that impression, and thanks for making the distinction.
I would love to see some of your variegated Philos! I have is pink princess but the new leaves aren't making a pink mark, and the old ones got sunburned to a dull, olive drab color. (Forgot after putting in yard to get rained on.) I really should be more careful with leaves that can stay on for years if I don't mess them up. Where it was looking great until that, where the sun hits it sideways, really late in the day, just before sunset for a bit.
Here's 'Brasil' with the morning sun on it a few days ago. Even I haven't managed to burn that one.
My goodness.....What a beautiful plant Tiffany!!!
Look at those colors...
You know I just might have less than I thought after the discussion about Pothos and Philos...
If I post what I think is Philos, can anyone tell me if they are? I love them no matter what..
Toni...I kind of get it and great to see you!
The Philo I have seems to love hanging from teh ceiling out of direct sunlight and does beautiful, from teh rim of the pot down though....lol
Now that I have placed it behind a shear curtin and it gets difused sunlight, the colors are more of a bright yellow and white and growing thick from the rim of the pot up..The way I like it...Hum....I guess I will have to find a spot for it near more light once the citrus come in and take up all the prime space..lol
Thanks everyone..
Why do I like Philodendrons? For very different reasons. Bipinnatifidum and xanadu and a few others for big cool-looking leaves, aerial roots and unruly growth habits. "Prince of Orange" for meaty petioles, unusual color of young leaves and aerial roots. Micans / "Velvet Leaf" for... well the velvety feeling and look to its leaves, a wavy stem and fast growth.
This thread prompted me to look into why all these very diverse plants are even put into the same genus called Philodendron. The name ("loves trees") would explain all the epiphytes and hemiepiphytes, but not the terrestrial self-headers. I found the Wikipedia entry for Philodendrons very interesting, especially the parts about the spath and spadix being used as a hotel for sweet beetle loving and the amazing ways Philos have of getting beetles to check in. Spadix emitting infrared radiation like a control tower for the beetles and heating up 20 degrees above the ambient temps to spread the pheromones easier into the air and to make beetles more active (with the rolling around in the pollen that comes with that) - these things are just amazing. How and why the plant makes beetles check out when they are no longer useful and need to move on to another plant is also pretty cool. Very interesting read! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philodendron
As for a unifying trait of all Philos, it's some flowering characteristics.
Hope this sends. Still have internet connection problems.
Before I reply about Philos, have you checked IE? It works, sometimes. lol.
I was able to access email the other day.
If you haven't checked give it a try.
Regarding sun..Mike said, his Philos don't need full sun.
If you re-read my post, it's addressed to Mike. :)
I shouldn't have compared full to direct sun. It sounds contradictory.
I consider direct sun...plants that sit in south or west sun at least 5 hours a day.
Full sun, 'in my mind,' means the brightest light from a s/w/e window. If that makes sense.
I find thin leaf Philos, 'and many other tropicals,' do well in less light..Thick leaf Philos can endure full sun all day without burning.
I was going to toss a Philo this summer. It wasn't doing well. I set it outside 'those darn ants,' now it's doing great.
Puter's froze, brb..
effin' att....
Purple, sorry about that.
At least you have a Pink Princess
I had PP for years. It lived in the LR, ,south window.
To make space, I moved it in the upstairs bathroom.
Remember, last year my Hoyas had mealy. Before I noticed, I placed PP in the bathroom.
A month or so later, I noticed mealy on my PP.
It went in the trash with infested Hoyas.
PP needs light. Mine kept variegation in the south window, even during winter. Although, I admit PP is a slow grower. At least mine was slow.
Now that I think about it, I miss my PP...boo hoo. :)
Your Brazil is lovely. Nice coloring.
BTW, what's the solo leaf?
Hey Mike. How ya doing???
What type of Philo do you have?
Hi Asleep. How you doing?
I have P. elegans sp. It doesn't have narrow leaves like a true elegans..
I WISH I had one.
In the early/mid 90's, I spent more than a year seeking a true elegans. I found one from a guy who sold plants from his house..This was before I knew Ebay existed. lol
But, he wanted 25.00 which was out of my league. 25.00 plus shippin!
I found another later on, but it was/is small...the seller said before leaves thin the Philo has to mature...hmm..Still waiting. lol.
Karen, don't know if you're reading this, but I can't contact you.
In the home or just in a general random sort of way?
In house:
Pothos (Epipremnum) is one of only two types of Epipremnum that I have. I have only one of that one and couldn't careless about having any more. I find them rather dull/boring and WAY over used (taking malls and places of business into account). However, they can survive and even grow in areas that other plants couldn't. (My one and only pothos is in just such a location for just such a reason.)
The other type I have is Epipremnum Pincushion. This is a mini with a clumping habit. Gets about 3-4inches tall at the max and takes a long time to get there. I use it in my terrs.
But, again, overall there aren't too many philos or epiprems that impress me.
Just in general:
In the wild or a wide open space like a conservatory, a large philo can be a beautiful sight to behold and the viney types can have their place.
Toni, I do agree about the sun exposure, now that I know what you mean, and figured you knew what you meant too - LOL! As you've probably observed, I'm famous for sun-burning plants not used to being so exposed, and have little patience for easing them into it. Conclusions drawn from stuff like that can be misleading. You are much nicer to your plants usually. If our dog wouldn't pee on everything at ground level in the back yard, most of my plants would be in dappled light (and cooler roots) under giant trees instead of in solid chunks of either morning or afternoon sun. It's so hot out there. Were you going to add a pic, or got too frustrated?
Hithere, Paul. There sure are a lot of visually diversified Philos to make a generalization like that. But curious what kind of house plants are more your style? Not everybody loves 'em all.
The leaves on the burgundy one feel like the softest leather you've ever felt. If you generally enjoy plants tactilely, many Philos are great for touching for various reasons.
Purple, righto!
Actually, I had no idea you sun-burned plants...until today.
We who have many, 'too many' plants can't acclimate plants when brought out in spring/summer, although when people ask, I suggest placing in low light then work the plants way up.
The grass is always greener. lol
You want shelter, I want to chop down our ugly, pesty, green Maple.
Then again, I'd feel sorry for birds. They love the tree.
Purple, what type of Philo did you post? Red leaf.
It's gorgeous.
Don't know if I can post a photo.
Paul...Philodendron leaves are textured. It depends on type of course.
I'll try posting a photo of a velvety leaf Philo.
The entire leaf feels like velvet.
Oh Tiffany! Now, come on..lol What kine is that you posted all red like that? I think I may have to make an offer for a piece of that one..lol I just love it! You always seem to have much different houseplants that I have ever seen.....Nice!
Ok, I will get some pics as soon as I can.....I would love the help identifying themm Some are a bright yellow as the sun!
Toni...Hello! I think what you are trying to say is that they love bright diffused light or indirect! Just like what the greenhouse gives them with thier blocked out direct sun glass panels...
In fact, I think even Peace Lillies do better in that kind of light in which many think them too a a dark shaded loving plant...lol
I love you pic!!
Paul, what are your favorites? I would love to know....
Not sure what that red one is, pic is from last Oct. It was just settling into things outside for spring, plenty of new not (yet) sunburned leaves, then 2 weeks later, there was frost. I forgot to move this pot, it was hanging in a tree & all of the leaves were ruined. The new leaves it's grown so far since that are nowhere near that big, yet. That pot remains as it was, with some wax Begonias added about 6 months ago. When I first got it, I propagated the root-ends into many pieces and just repotted them today, added with the Brasil pictured above, the PP, and some Scindapsus. Before I could finish straightening the leaves and get a pic, it started raining. So that was 5 pots traded for 1...
I should add a few new pics to this discussion about sunburned leaves (which has a pic of a burned burgundy Philo leaf, BTW, 1st pic.) There's some new accidents out there.
Mike, it depends on the Philo. lol.
For instance. I have a Philo 'Ring of Fire.' It looks best when placed in direct south and west sun.
Ring of Fire has very thick leaves.
On the other hand, if I placed a Heart-shaped Philo in the same window, the leaves would burn crispy.
What type of Philo do you have? Gotta picture?
Purp...there's a Philo with red leaves called 'Mary' and another named 'Rojo'. Leaves grow large when staked.
I didn't Google, so don't know if either name is correct.
Years ago I had both, but at one period in my life,, I got bored with Philos and gave all but three away.
I'll check the link after submitting...
What's not to love about philodendrons?!
I have a small 'micans' that I found at Lowes for the princely sum of one dollar. It was half dead, of course, but has since responded beautifully to water and morning light, with lots of new growth. It's still a bit scruffy and disreputable-looking, but it's such a fighter!

Paul, what are your favorites? I would love to know....
Er .... not sure what you mean, Mike.
Favorites Philodendron/Epipremnum?
Favorites Family or genus?
Favorites I do own or have owned?
Favorites I wish I had? ............
Toni, I've seen some of the different philos offered at Lowes, Home Despot, or Ghettomart -- they're "okay" just nothing terribly interesting. And then there are philos like Philodendron monstera deliciosa that -- while eye-catching -- are simply far to large for an apt.
Hi Paul. If buying plants locally was my only option, I'd have very few plants. :)
Big Box Stores, at least here, sell the same old types. Every so often, a rarer plant is found..
I'm talking all varieties.
Paul, if you dislike Philos, it's no biggie. There's plants I dislike. ZZ is one example. I'm not fond of most cactus, although I adore succulents.
If everyone liked the same plants, clothes, music, etc, it'd be one boring world.
As I stated above, I got bored with Philos..some were 'EXPENSIVE' to boot. Gave them to a friend. Gave her 32 to 37 Philos..can't recall the number since this happened around 2000.
I'm not trying to talk you into adding Monstera, but there are smaller varieties.
I think Mike was asking, what type of plants do you like.
Mike, sorry if I stepped my bounds, but I too am curious. I'm curious which plants everyone likes and collects.
Beth, half-dead plants are the best. :)
(Unless mealy infested,) otherwise they're the best economically and makes one feel better saving its life.
Morning Michael....
Hey Nancy. How's your beautiful Adenium doing? You must show its photo more.
It's definately a show plant. Toni
Hello Toni!!! No worries..You ask very good questions and I am glad you understood what I was asking.....
Speaking of Adeniums..... I would love to see a pic of Nancy's!!
By the way...I almost had a miute to take a few photos then time esacped me...I hope to have more by this weekend....I love these plants since if you think about all the rare tropicals I have, these are like a breath of fresh air, so easy.....lol
Hey Toni and Mike, since you asked for a picture of my Desert Rose and I don't have a Philo...here it is! Just took it this morning. Not a lot of blooms this time of year, usually late Spring (May) is when this one has more blooms than leaves...
BTW, some really beautiful Philos you guys have!! Enjoyed seeing them all...
Thanks for the interest :o)
Nancy, your Adenium is the nicest I'd ever seen and certain everyone here agrees.
What's its height? Is it left outside year round?
It looks huge. Plus the pot seems to be on the shallow side. Amazing, simply Amazing.
Hey Mike, no I didn't forget you. :)
After seeing Nancy's Adenium................
Mike, did you give up on succulents???
Purple, beautiful combo.
Perhaps it's my eyes, but I don't see your Pink Princess?
Thanks Toni!! I went outside to measure it...its 40" tall from the ground to the tallest branch and that pot is shallow its appx. 8" tall and almost 18" wide. The plant is pretty wide too, the widest part from end to end is about 44" so its over 3 1/2 ft wide,lol...
Last winter I was lucky I only had temps below 32 degrees 2-3 times so I only bring it inside the garage when the temps are forecast to be below 32 degrees other wise it stays outside all year...I might lose a lot of the leaves when its cold but it comes back in the Spring :o) and blooms like crazy in April and May.

Paul...To carry on the question that Tiffany asked you earlier on Octo 17 at 12:32....Sorry...
i would like to know what your style of houseplants are....?
In a word? Eclectic.
A lot of orchids, but also cp's, cacti/succulents, ariods, ...
Paul, if you dislike Philos ....
"Dislike" may be too strong a word, Toni, though "nothing to write home about" does kind of sum up my feelings on most of the ones I have seen.
That is one kick-butt awesome Adenium, Nancy!
This post was edited by paul_ on Sat, Oct 19, 13 at 14:07
Nancy!!! I could not go to bed without saying you the most nicest Adenium I have ever seen!!!! I am taken back by this one....What a great job you have done....It looks likes the trees in the back round are getting ready for winter...? Strange.
Thank you!!! Nite:0-)
Toni..No worries...By the way, I some pics to take tomorrow to show you all....I think I have a lot less philos than I think..lol
Oh yes, I will take a few pics of succulents too...
Paul...Nice choice of plants...I have plenty of the ones you like...I have over 30 orchids...They are always surprising me with flowers!! Love them all...
Tiffany!!! Such beauty in yours! I think they are so clean and to die for...I love the pinks! The yellows and the bright pastel colors...So nice!
Nite all
Wait... there is another awesome philo thread and I wasn't in here? There are so many things to love about philos, but I think it's ease of culture and their relative lushness when taken care of that really sell them to me. I put several outside this summer in hanging baskets and I think it really helped with them rooting and taking off. Not a philo, but what I really wish I had was a variegated Monstera deliciosa.
Thanks Mike, lol...I think what you're seeing on those Oak trees in the back is the reflection from the morning sun? I took that picture fairly early and the sun had just come up...either that or its a combination of the lighting on my camera playing tricks on us...those trees do go through a little bit of changing of the leaves but nothing like what you guys see up north...:o)
Looking forward to pictures Mike!!
Nancy, size of your Adenium is extremely impressive. 44" wide, 40" tall.
Wonder how tall/wide, in-ground, year round???
I remember your Adenium by heart, but can't recall the container.
Have you repotted? Added different/new mediums? Trimmed roots?
Nancy, I'm sure I've asked before...do you know its age?
I agree with you regarding felled leaves.
The last two winters, my Adenium were placed in a very shady area..98% of leaves fell.
Last summer, once days lenghtened,foliage grew in...even bloomed.
This past summer, 2013, was a dud. lol. We had more cool, gray days than warm/hot, sunny.
It took months before leaves grew, and to be honest, Adeniums weren't as full this summer. One bloomed. Well, two..one is a youngin. One flower, first bloom since purchased.
Both larger Adeniums are outside..I KNOW leaves will fall no matter how much light they get. boohoo. :
Anyway, I'd be proud if my Adeniums looked half as beautiful as yours...
Paul. Please don't think I was being rude; I wasn't. :)
As much as I love plants, there's types I dislike, or wouldn't write home about.. lol.
Mike, where's your pics?

No need to apologize, Toni, I didn't take it that way. I just was clarifying. To me "dislike" is stronger term than I'd use. I would have categorized my feeling toward them more as "ambivalence".
Hello everyone..mollie the newbie here...rather than start another philo threat. may i ask a question?. i found a small 'moonlight' philo at a box store. does anyone have any info of it..and perhaps photos?..it appears to be non- vining..leaves light green...what can i expect as it matures?..thanks for info....
Hi Mollie!
That philo is a self-heading type which means that the "vine" has very little space between the internodes which when compared to the ones that look more familiar to us as vines,don't make it look much like a vine at all. Unless I'm wrong the moonlight will get to about four or so feet high like selfheaders that are similar in their growth habit like prince of orange for example...that's a rough estimate of course. anyhoo I have a moonlight that I potted in with some other type of philos.
The photo is an older one of this setup...I need to take some newer ones.
My goodness NANCY! I have never seen the root system of such an enormous Desert Rose...Breath taking it is! Wonderful work.
Hello everyone...Such beautiful pix! I still owe you a few of mine but been to tired taking in dozens and dozens of plants into the plant room. Finally finished...Now I need to find my way through the jungle for the,lol
Toni, late getting back to your question about not seeing 'Pink Princess' in my last pic(s), sorry. When I got it, only a couple of the leaves had a pink spot on them. I've managed to sunburn them off. Hope more show up soon, I know it's "in" the plant somewhere. Up to me to find the spot that brings it out, my idea of fun.
So, that last pic of mine had a trellis in it and below is another, to bring up the point of watching aerial roots attach to things, having the option of choosing something for attachment/support. I find a plant that can attach itself to inanimate objects and climb on them interesting, however commonplace. I don't think I grow the most common one, heart-leaf vine, in a common way.
Mike (with some fun devil's advocatry on Paul's part) has inspired folks to really examine the question asked, and it's gotten an amazing amount of wildly various answers. This is one of the most interesting discussions here in a while, I like it a lot.
In profile, this is only a few inches thick.
i've found one to be excited about ;), though have no idea if and where it's available. it's a hybrid
Here is a link that might be useful: philo florida beauty variegata
My God!!!
You guys are all killing me...I love these pics..
I finally took some this morning and they never came out..I am so bummed!
I'll be back with more:-0)
What a plant Petruska! I love RARE plants...
Tiffany..Is there a plant that you grow that does not look great? You grow your plants better than the nurseries about these parts..Great job!
Wow, this thread grew.
Got about 10 plants outside that need cleaning then brought indoors. Whew!
Paul, glad you understood..sometimes words sound rude, when in fact a statement is meant to be humorous or opposite the readers' understanding.
Pug..Those roots! Beautiful.
Do you trim so your Adeniums can remain in a small container?
Purp, I checked and re-checked for PP. lol.
If yours grows large, it really should be in its own container. PP is a beutiful plant, with show-off colors.
Pet, the Philo you posted is sold on Ebay, BUT, whomever buys one needs to take out a second mortgage. lol.
It was on Ebay during summer, haven't checked to see if it's still available.
It is a beauty! Toni
Back to the original topic;
What's not to like about Philodendrons? There's so many kinds, around 700 species or more depending on who you ask. They have varied growth habits, they can be epiphytic, hemiepiphytic, and some are terrestrially. Most will grow many cool aerial roots. A huge variety of leaf shapes and sizes ranging from a couple of inches to several feet long. Most of them are easy to keep growing in the house too.

Yes, I don't have any facilities for fussy plants. They all go outside, they all come in. Plants at ease in the conditions I have are what I prefer, and Philo genus offers ample opportunity to fill a house with various pretty leaves. I wouldn't enjoy a plant that couldn't grow well here.
Apparently I'm one of the unlucky few sensitive (or have developed sensitivity) to the alkaloids in some Philodendrons. Heart-leaf vine gives me a rash if I get the sap on me. I haven't experimented with other Philos, but now operating under the assumption that all will give me a rash if I get their sap on me. So that would be one thing to not like, but if I eliminated all of the plants I have that I'm allergic to, that would be a lot of them, definitely not just Philos.
Knowing about it, I can just avoid exposure to sap when trimming/propagating. Just touching the unbroken leaves or stems is harmless, but washing right away after contacting the sap doesn't seem to avoid getting a rash. I don't think this should prevent anyone from being able to enjoy these plants if they find them appealing, as long as caution is taken for sensitive individuals to avoid touching the sap.
Nancy, wish I had the nerve to trim roots. lol.
Whatever you're doing is definately working, and your Adeniums is doing as fantastic as ever.
Danny, WOW, what a Collection! Beautiful.
The last pic in row 3 is amazing. I want one that's variegated. lol.
They're available, but you'd need to take a second mortgage to buy a 'cutting.'!!!
Someone in my hous still hasn't taken the a/c out of the LR window.
So, Philos been sitting on a table for two weeks w/o light.
Mostl viney types..
Thanks to Purple, I ended up combining some vine Philos..
I owe you, Purp.
Here's a pic of sunless Philos..
There's a million reasons I like Philos. I won't say all Philos are easy to care for, 'nowhere as hardy as Pothos,' but with a little humidity and light, they're second to Pothos.
Philos have different shapes, texture foliage and stems, colors, variegation.
Some are slow-growing others fast.
Size can be controlled by trimming.
Philos, Chlorophytum and Sans were the first plants I bought, back when. Toni

Outraged Teen Smacks Mom With Frying Pan Because She Won't Loan Him Her Kindle
Oh, teens and their fancy electronic gadgets.
Oh, teens and their fancy electronic gadgets.
Fights at NFL games among fans are almost as common as Eli Manning interceptions, but a tiff at this weekend's New England Patriots-New York Jets tilt may have taken altercations to shocking new levels.
It was another exciting week in college football with plenty of upsets, close calls and big game performances. Here are the highlights from this week on the gridiron.
Way to make the moment all about you.
This weekend we get a remake of a '70s horror classic, Arnold and Stallone finally punching and shooting things together onscreen ('80s action-movie fans, rejoice!) and a based-on-true-events political thriller about that creepy-looking Wikileaks guy.
Raising kids these days is almost as tough as getting your little ones to like you.

Life at work can be difficult enough without having to deal with a coworker who isn't pulling his weight. This person can do a lot of damage to workplace morale, not to mention the team's overall success. You don't have to just suffer in silence, though. There are ways you can deal with a lazy co-worker, and none of them involve you running screaming from the building.

Speed Queen question about integrity of clothing.
I am very interested in getting rid of my barely 3 year old frontloading Maytag 4000 washer. It doesn't wash well, takes FOREVER to do a load, constantly unbalances, and there is rot/mold always between the sealing rubber and the door that I can't seem to be able to manage because the area can't be cleaned enough times in one day!
Anyway, we are looking at a top loader again and I watched some great youtube videos just now on them (thanks to those who put links into their threads). I am worried though that the machine is too harsh on clothes. All that agitation, does it tear clothing after a while? How about the spin cycle? It seems to spin so fast I wonder if clothing will wear out faster than our super weak frontloader.
Thanks! Kat
I've never had a piece of clothing damaged by our Speed Queen top loading washer in the 1+ year we've had it. We always set it for plenty of water so the clothes can turn over properly. We don't overload it (the cycles are fast, so we don't need to) and we use the delicate cycle as needed.
Our AWN542 spins at 710 rpm which is probably slower than your front loader, but still effective.
One thing I noticed about the Speed Queen washer I purchased this past march is how well it will handle unbalanced loads. It does not shake or vibrate or bang against the cabinet. Whereas the 2 year old Maytag Bravos vibrated without any clothes being in it.
The suspensions in these Speed Queen washers are commercial heavy duty.
Too soon to tell,but I haven't noticed my clothes any worse for wear. The 210 degree agitation and the design of the agitator sure beats the direct drive dual action agitator. I'm really glad Speed Queen stayed with single action agitators.
Ive had my speed queen AWN532 for 5 months now. I see no issues with the agitator wearing out my clothes. It does stred my sheets like my waveforce washer did. I love it. It is much more gentle on my clothes than my traditional whilrpool/kenmore toploader I had years ago. that thing was a beast for removing buttons and such from clothes and I dont over load any washer I have ever owned.
This whole issue was just pushed by the industry to sell high-priced, high-margin FL washers. Look how many people grew up using overloaded Whirlpool/Kenmore agitator washers (also known as Shredmores)...you would have thought that damaged clothing would have been epidemic. Yet I rarely heard of it.
And in my opinion there's nothing gentle about barely wet clothing twisting and braiding for hours in a FL washer.
I have my SQ since last November, I use it to wash silk and cashmere, they all come out fresh, clean and beautiful. I don't think many other types of material need more tender care than silk and cashmere.
Last week I stopped at the appliance store to check out kitchen appliances. The young man who sold us the SQ set said that they have been selling lots of SQ. It is very true, while I was in the store, he sold their SQ washer floor model.
Speed Queen is the new Maytag. Expensive but you get what you pay for.
Few things are more annoying than broken down major appliances and taking time off work for what always turns out to be multiple visits and waits for parts.
And as far as clothes washers go, high-tech isn't necessarily better. The old school Speed Queen cleans better in 1/2 the time. Water is not a problem is many areas of this country.
I think curiousshopper hit the nail on the head.
I think most of us grew up with traditional agitator washers and go figure... our clothes weren't ripped to shreds by agitators and believe it or not... our clothes were actually clean. In my opinion clean is clean, so when I constantly hear FL's clean "better" I always want to roll my eyes and ask to ask... "So, your clothes were filthy growing up" lol
I too am considering ditching my front loaders for an old school Speed Queen set in the near future. In the years of having my Duets, it's been a continuous love/hate relationship.
Recently it occurred to me that the only thing front loaders have going for them is that their quiet... that's it. We didn't need all these fancy electronic machines with useless features in years past and we were satisfied with our laundry so why are we convinced we need a $1000+ machine these days that produce such mediocre results?
Echo kgdallas sentiments. Consumer reports is certainly no friend to Speed Queen, since when did top loaders fall out of "fashion" ? We have always had front loaders in the USA, the 1st automatic washer was a front loader built by Bendix way back in the 1930's.
anyway,it just seems many folks don't care about quality. They're willing to spend big bucks for "glitz", but complain that a Speed Queen washer costs too much. Style over substance seems to be what matters in our disposable society.
I dropped my subscription to Consumer Reports magazine. When they rate washing machines, they are too concerned about how energy efficient the appliance is, not whether the clothes are clean or not. How energy efficient are the HE top loaders when they use so little water that you feel you need to run the machine twice in order to get the clothes clean? Speed Queen washers take 30 minutes to wash clothes, and you can use the temperature and level of water you want. That is real energy efficiency. I had read Consumer Reports for years, but now don't trust their opinion.

BioFach India 2009
by Redaktion (comments: 0)
BioFach India celebrates its premiere in the Bombay Exhibition Centre, Mumbai, in spring 2009. The youngest member of the international BioFach family was officially presented to representatives from the Indian organic sector at the end of 2008. Representatives from Nürnberg Global Fairs, the international subsidiary of NürnbergMesse, presented the concept of the world-leading exhibition for organic and natural products at a reception at the Indo-German Chamber of Commerce in New Delhi.
India is the third BioFach location in Asia after Japan and China. The subcontinent could become another top venue for the organic world. The country is rich in organic raw materials. According to estimates by the International Competence Centre for Organic Agriculture, ICCOA, which together with IFOAM is the patron of BioFach India, the organic farming area could grow to 2 million ha by 2012.
India's organic potential is impressively emphasized by the forecast market development. The official foreign trade organization APEDA estimates organic production in 2006 and 2007 at a total 580,000 tons from some 340,000 hectares of certified organic land. The government intends to invest 100 million Euro in organic farming in 23 federal states. This should also cause the export volume to rise strongly from the present approx. 47 million Euro.
"The Indian organic companies welcome BioFach to India. The established exhibition offers them an excellent opportunity to present their products to the international market. Although India has some 3,000 firms in the organic sector, many of them are not yet sufficiently present on the market with their products," says Mukesh Gupta, President of ICCOA.

... spectacular. It houses various museums, including one devoted to musical instruments of various eras, not only from Italy. A wander through the narrow streets, and a pastry and fantastic coffee topped off a lovely morning, but I was soon back to the apartment to pick up my case and return to Centrale for the train to Manarola, one of the Cinque Terre villages, and my first intended destination. It's the first booking I made with Airbnb, back in January when I first began to think ...

By Stephen J. Kotz
The future of the lease between the nonprofit Breakwater Yacht Club and Sag Harbor Village has been called into question by Mayor Brian Gilbride, who on Wednesday said he was concerned the village has not been generating enough revenue from the arrangement.
The club, which runs a number of community sailing programs, has been operating on a 20-year lease, which expires on May 31, but that lease allows the club to exercise an option to renew it for an additional 10 years. The club has already indicated to the village that it intends to exercise that option, but Mr. Gilbride said he wants to bring its board members to the table to discuss ways to make the arrangement more fair to village taxpayers.
"I'd certainly disagree that a 20-year lease with an automatic 10-year renewal was in the best interest of the village then or in its best interest now," Mr. Gilbride said. He said the club pays the village $3,000 a year now and would be paying $3,500 a year for the next 10 years unless the lease is modified.
Although the club sponsors a junior sailing program for children, hands out 20 to 30 scholarships for summer sailing programs and sponsors a high school sailing team, Mr. Gilbride said it also uses its clubhouse for private parties, yoga classes, and other events that generate significant revenue.
"Absolutely not," Mr. Gilbride responded when asked if he wanted to evict the club. "If I was, that ship would have long sailed by now."
The lease was a discussion item at Tuesday's Village Board meeting, and the mayor and Bruce Tait, a member of the club's board of directors, got into a testy exchange over whether the village had the right to negotiate any portion of the lease.
"We aren't asking to renegotiate the lease. That's not on the table," Mr. Tait said. He added that the only way the village could get around the lease was if it could prove the club was violating the terms of the agreement or if it sought to take property through an eminent domain proceeding if it had a public use for the property.
At Tuesday's meeting and again on Wednesday, Fred W. Thiele Jr., the board's attorney, said he believed the club was in its rights to exercise the option as is.
When Mr. Tait continued to press his argument, Mr. Gilbride told him he was not helping matters. "Let me tell you something. I think you are wrong. Let me tell you a little more. I know you are wrong," Mr. Gilbride told Mr. Tait. "So before you put Breakwater in hot water why don't you stop right there."
On Wednesday, Olaf Neubert, the club's commodore, said he had not been informed that the lease was going to be on the board's agenda this week. He added that he believed it was well within its rights to exercise the option. "There are no bells or whistles attached to it," he said.
"It is clear we are part of the community," continued Mr. Neubert, who stressed that the club is more of a community center than a private club. He said the club, which is designated as nonprofit by the Internal Revenue Service, passed a recent audit with flying colors.
He said he looked forward to discussing the lease and the club's future with board members as soon as possible.
Bed and Breakfasts
A proposed code amendment sponsored by Trustee Sandra Schroeder that would provide for a way for bed and breakfast to be licensed by the village drew a sharp rebuke from Pierce Hance, a resident of Main Street.
Currently bed and breakfasts are allowed if the homeowner obtains a special exception permit. Ms. Schroeder proposed the change, she has said, because the village is aware some people are quietly renting a room or two and officials are most concerned about making sure they are safe.
"What we are doing is changing the code to accommodate people who are violating the code," said Mr. Hance. Instead of legalizing the approximately 13 bed and breakfasts advertising online "why aren't you just going to them and saying you are violating the code. Cease and desist."
"This is effectively validating the commercialization of the R-20 zoning district," added Mr. Hance.
Board members and Mr. Thiele said Mr. Hance was taking a far too narrow view of the proposed amendment, which will be the subject of a public hearing next month.
In other action, the board agreed, at the request of building inspector Tom Preiato to write to the owners of the Morpurgo House at 6 Union Street, informing them that that the property is unsafe and it must be secured and portions of it demolished. The property has been in a dilapidated condition for decades and only recently emerged from the depths of a murky mortgage fraud case. On Wednesday, Mr. Preiato said the owners would have 30 days to meet the village's demands, or it would undertake the work itself.

LOL, I suppose I am one of the 4 out of 5 since I am on SS. I do volunteer work through a faith based group and see poverty first hand. Yes there are parasites, but that is not relegated to the poorest, it is found in ALL levels. However, there are folks who have through no fault of their own, except possibly being born in the wrong place, have fallen through the cracks. To ignore the plight of these along with their children is selfish and anti-Christian. How do those who disparage the poor pretend to be Christian?<quoted text>
This is an example of some of the muddled thinking at the very bottom tips of the Tea Party's grass roots support:
"Nothing about the healthcare is about the bottom 4/5 or the top 1%. This is about people like you and I who have worked hard but can not afford the excessive premiums for women. If the congress gets the best healthcaare paid for by the citizens and 4 out of every 5 people in this country is on the government payroll,how in the hello can the other 1/5 survive? I say stop all government handouts to ANYONE that is illegal, healthy and big as a horse[they need exercise],those have never and never intend to work
If you go back to the rule of you eat when you work,there would be less folk with diabetes,high bloodpressure etc from being over weight. Before you all flip out I'm a big gal myself,so I can say this.
Another thing is the older people are struggling with everyday needs while these bloodsuckers in congress and the government handout tit are getting fatter,richer and more unconcerned with the working man/women.After all we don't count."
Almost nothing in this rant is fact-based, but it is sincerely believed by a great many people, the majority in the districts that elect Tea Party representatives to Congress.

Once again, if Al Gore can afford to BUY his negative footprint, which he DOES, then all power to him.

Cheap labor does not seduce, companies seduce illegals by hireing them because they get cheap labor and can force them to work in conditions that are not healthy or safe. If companies didn't knowingly hire them they wouldn't be here. The illegals are here because they are wanted.

Some consioderations......
The former vice-president maintained that comparing raw energy-usage figures is misleading and that he leads what he advocates, a "carbon-neutral lifestyle," by purchasing energy from renewable energy sources such as solar, wind and methane gas to balance out the carbon emissions produced in generating the electricity his home uses:
Kalee Kreider, a spokesperson for the Gores, pointed out that both Al and Tipper Gore work out of their home and she argued that "the bottom line is that every family has a different carbon footprint. And what Vice President Gore has asked is for families to calculate that footprint and take steps to reduce and offset it."
A carbon footprint is a calculation of the CO2 fossil fuel emissions each person is responsible for, either directly because of his or her transportation and energy consumption or indirectly because of the manufacture and eventual breakdown of products he or she uses.
The vice president has done that, Kreider argues, and the family tries to offset that carbon footprint by purchasing their power through the local Green Power Switch program electricity generated through renewable resources such as solar, wind, and methane gas, which create less waste and pollution. "In addition, they are in the midst of installing solar panels on their home, which will enable them to use less power," Kreider added. "They also use compact fluorescent bulbs and other energy efficiency measures and then they purchase offsets for their carbon emissions to bring their carbon footprint down to zero."
Also, by the end of 2007 the Gores completed renovations that made their home much more energy-efficient:
Al Gore, who was criticized for high electric bills at his Tennessee mansion, has completed a host of improvements to make the home more energy efficient, and a building-industry group has praised the house as one of the nation's most environmentally friendly.
The former vice president has installed solar panels, a rainwater-collection system and geothermal heating. He also replaced all incandescent lights with compact fluorescent or light-emitting diode bulbs.
"Short of tearing it down and staring anew, I don't know how it could have been rated any higher," said Kim Shinn of the U.S. Green Building Council, which gave the house its second-highest rating for sustainable design.
Gore's improvements cut the home's summer electrical consumption by 11 percent compared with a year ago, according to utility records reviewed by The Associated Press. Most Nashville homes used 20 percent to 30 percent more electricity during the same period because of a record heat wave.
SO while his footprint is not negative he has substantially reduced and is continuing to reduce his footprint. It has been substantially reduced, do you understand that? If we all would reduce our footprint by the same percentage it would be significant. He is practicing what he preaches.
Place your hate somewhere more significant.

A New Queen Reigns in Bel Canto Singing
Jennifer Larmore is one of those rare artists whose career seems more pointed toward solid, strong development of the voice and the repertoire than to the glamour that the opera world seduces artists to define. Larmore is a consummate vocalist whose technique and musicality are so solid that she doubtless will be on the performing stages for many years. And here is a sparkling CD of bel canto arias and ensembles that shows her strengths and musical intelligence. Arias by such composers as Sir Michael Costa, Luigi Arditi, Lauro Rossi, and Giovanni Pacini don't exactly ring familiar bells with the general public, but here Larmore gives this fine music the communication it needs to acquaint us with some splendid operas. Larmore is well known for her Rossini roles of the known works of the composer so it is with a bow to her musicality that she offers here arias from the lesser known operas 'Bianca e Falliero' and 'Elisabetta, regina d'Inghilterra'. She also gives us portions of Mercadante ('Andronico') not readily available on the stage, and while these arias are somewhat obscure Larmore delivers them with a rich, robust vocal color and facile technique that make them important. These arias were the territory of the infamous Pauline Viardot and Maria Malibran who in many ways 'created' bel canto, and like her predecessors Joan Sutherland and Marilyn Horne, she is up there with the best of them. Various conductors and orchestras are represented on this collection (some from previous recordings of entire operas) and the support from the conductors and other singers with whom she sings ensembles is consistently fine. Jennifer Larmore's time has come and this album is titled appropriately! Grady HarpWas this review helpful? Yes NoThank you for your feedback.

Ladysmith Black Mambazo, a South African-based vocal group, brings its cultural heritage to audiences in Brooklyn this March.
Ladysmith Black Mambazo began life as a gospel group, its noble intention to spread brotherly love. That was back in 1960 or so, in Durban, South Africa. Decades later, the group would emerge as "South Africa's cultural ambassadors," a mantle imparted on it by Nelson Mandela.
The cultural ambassador title is deserving. Founder and leader Joseph Shabalala took the group's humble origins singing the traditional isicathamiya music of the Zulu nation, which relies on close, tight-knit harmonies, and propelled it to international fame by incorporating songs of empowerment and strength in the face of South Africa's government-sanctioned apartheid policies. Under that racist regime, the country was divided into four distinct racial entities, with blacks being at the ladder's bottom. Isicathamiya was heard in the diamond mines where black workers worked six-day weeks, housed in shabby conditions far from their families. Ladysmith Black Mambazo was, at turns, spiritual, uplifting, and mournful.
The group remained South Africa's best-kept secret, popular in Europe and the African diaspora, until, in 1986, members' appearance on Paul Simon's album Graceland catapulted Ladysmith to international stardom. Since then, the group has worked with artists from Dolly Parton to Stevie Wonder to Michael Jackson, and performed before Queens and Popes - and on Sesame Street.
Joseph Shabalala continues to head the group, bringing South Africa's real cultural heritage to audiences across the globe, including those in Brooklyn. Survivors and pioneers, Ladysmith is proof of South Africa's freedom following years of oppressive policy. Go hear them if just to stare and marvel at everything they've been through.

The Bharatiya Janata Party on Wednesday launched a three-day registration drive for the rally to be addressed by its prime ministerial candidate Narendra Modi at the Bangalore Palace Grounds on November 17. Registration is for the party workers who have to confirm their participation by paying a commitment fee of Rs. 10.
Party State president Prahlad Joshi, who inaugurated the drive, said that counters had been set up at all the 52,000 polling booths in the State for registration.
The party also launched an online registration facility through its website. As many as 1,981 persons registered through the website within the hour of launching the facility. The party is hoping to get 25,000 to 30,000 registrations online.
Claiming that the rally would turn out to be one of biggest public meetings in the State, Mr. Joshi said that the State unit was hoping that the rally will change its political fortunes.
Taking serious exception to the Congress government in the State launching "Shaadi Bhagya" scheme for providing financial assistance of Rs. 50,000 to poor Muslim brides, Mr. Joshi demanded that the benefits of the scheme should be extended to brides of poor families belonging to all communities and religions.
Terming it as an attempt to divide society on the lines of religion ahead of the Lok Sabha elections, Mr. Joshi said that the Congress was likely to stop the scheme after the elections. "When the continuation of the Congress government as well as Siddaramaiah as Chief Minister after the Lok Sabha elections itself is doubtful, how can such schemes have a long life?" he wondered.
Expressing concern over Kirit Parikh committee's recommendation to restrict the annual supply of LPG cylinders to a maximum of six per family and also to increase the price of diesel, Mr. Joshi warned the United Progressive Alliance government at the Centre that the BJP would launch an agitation if these recommendations were accepted.
Party spokesperson S. Suresh Kumar, general secretary C.T. Ravi and actors Jaggesh and Malavika were present.
'Bharata gellisi rally'
The BJP has named the rally as "Bharata gellisi (ensure India's victory) rally". "The country has lost much under the UPA regime. Hence, we named the rally 'Bharata gellisi rally' under which we are going to seek a change in government for ensuring 'India's victory'," Mr. Joshi said.
Keywords: Bharatiya Janata Party, Narendra Modi, Modi rally, Prahlad Joshi

Invitation to Consign: Russian Art

The Spring 2012 season of Russian Art sales illustrated the continuing and growing worldwide interest in Russian art.

Christie's remains the undisputed market leader in Russian Works of Art. In April 2012, Christie's achieved 65% share of the Fabergé market. We also sold the top two highest-value lots of the Russian sale week, as well as six of the top ten lots.

In May 2012, Christie's set seven new auction records, including those for Bakst ($1,471,483), Kiprensky ($1,119,803) and the Imperial jeweller Hahn ($755,563).

We focus on sourcing the most exceptional Russian pictures, and this strategy is reflected in our high sold rates which have comfortably exceeded those of our competitors for the last three years. In May 2012, Christie's sold 74% of the pictures offered with almost half achieving prices above their high estimates.

We are now accepting consignments for our sale of Russian Art in New York on April 15, 2013. We would be delighted to provide a complimentary and confidential valuation. Please contact us to schedule an appointment.

Consignment Deadline: 11 February 2013

Deep Impact Comet-Smashing Video 133
from the mmm-delicious-space-porn dept.
We've improved Slashdot's video section; now you can view our video interviews, product close-ups and site visits with all the usual Slashdot options to comment, share, etc. No more walled garden! It's a work in progress -- we hope you'll check it out (Learn more about the recent updates).
You would need much heavier (or faster) probe to change comet's path significantly.The kinetic energy that will be released by the collision is estimated to be the equivalent of nearly 5 tons of TNT. However, this will only change the comet's velocity by about 0.0001 millimeters per second (0.014 inches per hour). The collision will not appreciably modify the orbital path of Tempel 1, which poses no threat to Earth now or in the foreseeable future.
Nobody knows what will happen when 820 pounds of metal slams into the comet with 5 kilotons of force
...Largely due to the fact that nobody knows what the hell the phrase "5 kilotons of force" means in an impact situation, even if we forgive the use of tons as a force unit.
Or are we talking about an amount of energy equivalent to that released by 5 kilotons of TNT (probable)? Then say so. This is bad science, people. The kind that gets Ariane rockets blown up.
The major difference between bonds and bond traders is that the bonds will eventually mature.

More On Legal & Compliancefrom The Advisor's Professional Library
- The Few and the Proud: Chief Compliance Officers CCOs make significant contributions to success of an RIA, designing and implementing compliance programs that prevent, detect and correct securities law violations. When major compliance problems occur at firms, CCOs will likely receive regulatory consequences.
- Nothing but the Best Execution Along with the many other fiduciary obligations owed by RIAs, firms owe a duty to seek best execution of clients transactions. If they fail to do, RIAs violate Section 206 of the Investment Advisers Act.
This news originally appeared on WealthManagerWeb on 10/27/09
Securities and Exchange Commission Chairman Mary L. Schapiro spoke of the need to "restore investor confidence by focusing on the needs of investors," as the Securuties Industry and Financial Markets Association (SIFMA), opened its annual meeting on Oct. 27 in New York.
In her speech, Schapiro outlined the progress that the Commission has made so far in the past nine months of her tenure, as it continues to "refocus...on core investor protections." This includes analyzing "the risks and trends of new products pitched to investors." Schapiro highlighted a new area of the SEC, a department of "Risk Strategy and Financial Innovation."
In addition to initiatives in corporate and market-structure transparency, scrutiny of "complex fee arrangements" and "emerging risks," the Chairman made it clear that overly-complex, high fee products, especially those aimed at the retirement-bound investor, will not be tolerated. In particular, target date funds and life settlements are under the SEC's magnifying glass.
In addition, Schapiro says she supports the recommendation in the Obama admistration's Investor Protection Act (IPA) for a "fiduciary standard for all financial services professionals who provide investment advice about securities," adding that, "a high standard should apply. Investors simply want their advisors to put [investor's] interests before their own." The Chairman went on to tell the SIFMA audience that the fiduciary standard that becomes law should be a strong one, and not be "a watered down...commercial standard."
The SEC has fairly wide lattitude in the IPA, as drafted, to ensure that the fiduciary standard of conduct that is ultimately put in place for all providers of advice is an authentic fiduciary duty, which has been in place for decades for investment advisors and their clients and is based on centuries of law.
The fiduciary standard includes the core principles of putting investor's interests first, prudence, making robust, meaningful disclosures of all material conflicts and management of all conflicts in the client's favor.
The IPA bill is in mark-up this week in the House Financial Services Committee.

Transplanting large hibiscuses
I'm moving 30 miles away and want to take several hardy hibiscuse with me. I have 3 weeks and am not sure what steps to take. Should I cut them down now or wait until after I move them? Any suggestions would be appreciated. I can't take cuttings-I always kill them. Help!
Cut them down by at least 1/3, and get as much root as you can, even if you have to just wrap them in black plastic until you get there. Water them well before and after you dig them, and plant them as soon as possible after they are moved.
When you plant them, dig the hole twice the diameter of the rootball and 3 inches deeper. Fill with water, and let it soak into the surrounding soil. Place 3 inches of manure into the bottom of the hole, then fill with water again, and place the plant in, filling alternately with the soil you took out and composted manure.
Build a berm around the outside, put a cup of epsom salts around the plant inside the berm, and fill the berm three times with water. The epsom salts help the roots survive, and to make new feeder roots.
Water every other day for two weeks, twice a week for two weeks, then once a week for two weeks. Unfortunately, in your climate, this time of year, the plant will go dormant before you can see if it took, so you won't know until next spring if it really survived. It may actually be best to keep them in large pots until next spring, if that's possible.
Good luck!

I exercise daily and this tee was great on the run and after, inside the gym. It dried quickly and never felt "sticky" against the body. On the run, it hung comfortably even with three gel packs! Very happy with this purchase.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Nice shirt.

Comments about Mens R-Gear Finish Cool Short Sleeve Technical Tops:
I got this shirt in the black/yellow color for my birthday in April. I have worn it a couple of dozen times, in temperatures ranging from the 30's to the 80's.I wear a large and I bought a large and it fits like a large, but I think a medium may have fit me as well, and there would be just a bit less bouncing from the pockets when I have things in them. I had velcro sewn into the pockets to keep the flap closed a bit more securely, I didn't have anything fall out, but it felt like something might have.The fit and the finish are excellent. It's a very comfortable shirt, I wear it and don't think about it when I am running, which is nice.It's the most expensive running shirt I have. I was looking for a good shirt to splurge on for myself, and this one fit the bill with it's pockets and stylish looks. I was hesitant about the name brand, but I didn't really find any of the big brands shirts that seemed as good an overall package as this one.If you don't think it's too much money and you fancy buying yourself a shirt you probably won't see at every race you start (people ask where I bought it frequently) this is the shirt for you.

Capcom 'Saddened' By Game Plagiarism Controversy 163

Because koran is put forth as unchanged word of god, it is impossible to find any excuse to reinterpret it.
Some of the things you say might very well be true and I certainly find some of it interesting, but you seem to be leaning a bit heavily on this pillar (semi-pun intended). From the simple fact that followers of Sunni and Shia (not to mention all of the other smaller factions) are abundant there obviously is room for interpretation. Why would a more modern one not be possible?
For that matter, though I'm by no means an expert, I seem to remember that the OT is supposedly the word of god as well. I guess you could argue that jewish oral traditions might have miss-remembered and made it not the word of god anymore and that by translating it the meaning has changed, but I think a lot of people would disagree. I see plenty of interpretation regarding this work going on. Including, but not limited, to the muslim, jewish and christian readings.
Either or, the point is, it is ALWAYS possible to interpret things in a different way. I bet even the five word Hallmark birthday cards can be interpreted in five-factorial ways, at the very least. It's a human trait.

Members of the International Somalia Contact Group held an ad hoc meeting on the Financial Aspects of Somali Piracy in Seoul last week. The meeting, the second one since the first session in Washington in March, was focused on the growing need for international cooperation to stop the flow of money to Somali pirates, prevent money laundering and gather information about the de facto powers behind the pirates, that is, the instigators of pirate activities and their sources of funds. The 80 participants, under the stewardship of Moon Ha-young, KoreaŌĆÖs ambassador for global counterterrorism cooperation, agreed to build a database on intelligence concerning Somali pirates and their financiers. All member governments of the Contact Group will be given access to the information in the database when it is completed and are encouraged to increase teamwork within their law enforcement agencies when investigating piracy.
Such proactive and cohesive action by several nations is a positive step toward countering the ever increasing threat of Somali pirates. However, as I had argued in this op-ed for The African Executive, piracy is a relatively cheap activity making it difficult to crack down on all the sources of illicit funds. Additionally, targeting piratesŌĆÖ source of funds may have undesired impacts if they join hands with branches of al Qaeda or al Shabaab operating in the region to replace their lost income. Therefore, it is essential to also consider alternative methods, such as using the threat of sanctions and freezing corporate assets in cases of non-compliance, to stop ship owners from paying ransoms. This will serve as an incentive for shipping companies to choose safer sailing routes around the Cape of Good Hope and hire armed personnel to accompany their crew while long term measures that focus on helping Somalia and its neighbors achieve economic and political stability begin to take effect. The Office of Foreign Assets Control in the United States has taken explicit steps in the direction of sanctions and freezing assets of shipping companies that give in to pirate demands but the Contact Group must encourage other countries to do the same because US policies in isolation are unlikely to prove beneficial.
