Life On A Kibbutz
Darren Weir
Posted Jul 5, 2012 in

Nir David Kibbutz, Israel 2011
Darren Weir
been an evolution in most of the Kibbutz, now they are more like gated communities. People live in their own homes, paying minimal rent, and unlike the past, most own their own vehicles. And while some people work there on the farm or businesses that support the Kibbutz, many others work outside the community. I have visited the Nr David Kibbutz a few times,
Nir David Kibbutz, Israel 2011

considered one of the most beautiful in all of Israel. It is surrounded by olive groves, orange and lemon orchards and farm fields and is built along the Asi River about two hours north of Tel Aviv. If you want to get back to nature, this is the place to do it. The river itself is
Nir David Kibbutz, Israel 2011

heated by underground thermal springs so no matter how cold it can be outside, the river is always warm (not hot). There are waterfalls that feed into the river, and big trees along its banks to provide shade and spectacular photos. The river also has more fish than I have ever{image(118572,right,small} seen in any river or lake before. After breakfast at the one restaurant on the Kibbutz, the children are given leftover bread which they feed to the fish, creating a frenzy as thousands of fish scramble for a bite to eat. You can rent fishing poles to try your luck but there is only a small area where you can actually fish from (or rent a kayak). There are signs everywhere telling you where its' prohibited, all the areas of the river where most fish congregate. It seems the fish know that too and avoid the fishing area like the plague. Despite all the fish you can see as you walk across the bridges or along the banks, there are only tiny minnows swimming through the part of the river where people are casting their lines, and they rarely catch anything. The people of the Kibbutz say they want to protect the river and the fish for the enjoyment of the community.
Agriculture (including a nearby fish farm), is an important part of the Kibbutz. But the bounty isn't just shared among its' members, instead it is sold to other parts of Israel and countries around the world, and the proceeds are then used to support the Kibbutz. There is a small supermarket where people in the community shop for their food and other household goods. There are also a couple of small factories, one that exports farm machinery.

You can see a bit of the history of Nir David too. An old fort still stands and has been turned into a historic site for people to visit and discover how the first settlers on the Kibbutz lived, defending themselves from invading Arabs.
Sachne near Nir David Kibbutz, Israel

But it is the recreational opportunities that make Nir David such a great place to visit. Sachne, a fresh water park just outside the Kibbutz boundary has a beautiful swimming area with water cascading down a man-made waterfall or down a series of rocks that children slide down on. Of course they also have a big water slide set up for people to play on (closed during the winter). There are great play areas for kids, including an old helicopter that they can play on. There is also a guest-ranch that has dozens of horses to teach children and adults how to ride, including equestrian, as well as hayrides (without the hay). The Kibbutz has built an amazing sports complex as well, with a gymnasium, basketball court and swimming pool. And just a little further down the road is the Australian Zoo where you can get up close and personal with the kangaroos and koalas.
I used to think that visitors to the Kibbutz would sleep in the big dorms with the residents. But there are no big dorms… there is however, very nice lodgings right on the site. There are more than 40 little cottages that are always booked up, providing even more income for the community. The cottages are beautiful, stand alone, cedar structures with high ceilings (some with a loft), bedroom, kitchen, sitting area and best of all, many also have a large Jacuzzi in the main room. But it's not cheap. 2 nights cost me 1100NIS or about $275USD.
If you have dreams of moving in though, it is almost impossible. There are about 200 homes on the Kibbutz and never any vacancies. Most of the people there have an east European background, their parents and grandparents arrived during and just after the Second World War. The homes are passed down to the next generation, which is really the only way to live there, if you have family ties.
There is a very holistic approach to life on the Kibbutz. It is very calm and tranquil, with no loud parties to ever break the silence (although I was surprised to see a small bar that had been opened).
I've now decided that a visit to Israel just wouldn't be complete without a trip to a Kibbutz. It lets you experience more of the culture than you can find in just about any town or city. It also reminds you what is important in life… stopping to smell the flowers. Now I get it, now I understand why people who live on a Kibbutz never want to leave… I know I didn't.

Hi...got a question:
Lets say there is a OTM-put and a deep-OTM-put.
Now, as option premium= Intrinsic Value + Time Value
OTM-Put premium= 0 + a
Deep-OTM-Put premium= 0 + b
As we know that because of vol-skew, deeper the OTM Put, more its implied volatility, thus more time value. Therefore, b>a.
That means, Deepet OTM Put premium > Deep OTM Put.
BUT, if we calculate the premiums through Black-Scholes Model, we get the opposite result.
Could you please explain this to me??
- Saturday, 07 June, 2008
- OPTIONS TRADING BEGINNER said...
Hi Niladri,
Yes, deeper OTM Puts normally have higher IV than less deeper OTM Puts, and hence deeper OTM Puts are considered as "more expensive".
But that does not mean that the premium of deeper OTM Puts will be higher in terms of dollar.
This is because an option's premium is affected by 6 factors, not only IV.
Other important factors are strike price & current stock price.
Although deeper OTM Puts is higher in IV (hence it's considered "more expensive"), their option premium will be lower in terms of dollar than less deeper OTM Put options.
This because deeper OTM Puts' strike prices will be much farther from the current stock price, as compared to less deeper OTM Puts.
So, when you calculate the option's price using options calculator, deeper OTM Puts' premium would be lower in dollar than less deeper OTM Put options.
Hope that can clarify. :)
But I will also discuss this further in the next post.
Thanks & Regards,

- Niladri said...
Hi OTB,
I completely appreciate and understand your point. Despite that, I would make another attempt to refute it:
As Intrinsic Value of both the OTM Puts = 0, it would then be misleading to say that:
Option Premium = Intrinsic Value + Time Value.
Instead, it should be:
Option Premium = Probability of Spot being in-the-money + Time Value??
Please excuse my mechanical approach on this topic :-)
NB: By far yours is the best blog/ site on basic options notes in the web that I fave chanced upon.

Hi Niladri,
It's ok. Your question actually give me "inspiration" for another topic to be discussed in the near future. :-)
The following formula is not misleading:
Option Premium = Intrinsic Value + Time Value.
Because actually Time Value here has factored in the probability of finishing ITM.
Pls see the following post:
More Understanding about Options Time Value
As mentioned above, I'll clarify this in the near future, ok? :)
Thanks for the kind words.
I'm very happy that many people in fact can benefit from this simple blog.
Thanks also for your support to my blog site. :)

How to Avoid Tire Blowouts
Stay Ahead of Brake Repairs
Staying current with brake inspection is imperative to avoid costly repairs or replacements. Most major malfunctions and repairs can be avoided with routine maintenance, coupled with driver awareness. Learn signs of needed brake repairs such as: noises, smells and other vehicle malfunctions. Through driver awareness of these symptoms, problems can be easily detected to prevent long-term damages. Use these following tips to detect early signs of needed brake repair and, when these signs appear, consult your auto repair specialist immediately.

Invest in the Future of any Vehicle with TPMS - Tire Pressure Monitoring Systems
As most drivers can contest firsthand, tires are not invincible. Composed from many separate layers of steel-encased rubber fabrics and durable materials, tires eventually wear down and can cause vehicle owners costly repairs or even replacement. Understanding what measures should be taken to properly maintain tires will both lengthen tire life and support vehicle functionality and longevity. Tire Pressure Monitoring Systems (TPMS) introduce revolutionary tire protection technology to constantly report on tire pressure in each tire for vehicle safety and sustainability.
Without assistance from a Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS), tires become more susceptible to avoidable damages due to low tire pressure. In the United States, according to National Highway Tr ...[more]
Is it Time for a Tire Rotation?
Tire rotation is an easy maintenance item that has long term benefits for any vehicle. When properly maintained, tire rotations can improve fuel economy, extend tire life and provide drivers better handling through improved stability. Frequently servicing vehicles with tire rotations is imperative to sustaining tire tread by ensuring all tires are used evenly without excessive wear to one section or another.
Normal tread wear is unavoidable due to uneven vehicle weight dispersal, vehicle performance, etc. Without tire rotations, tires continue to wear on the same areas over and over, causing irreversible damage to tire tread which drastically decreases tire life. Engine weight accounts for a major portion of vehicle weight, causing front tires to wear significantly faster than back tires. Front tires ...[more]

New Orleans
Restaurants in New Orleans
It looks innocuous enough—picture windows; green walls cluttered with framed artifacts and photographs; paintings—all askance, and each checked tablecloth adorned with salt and pepper and the ubiquitous and addictive Crystal hot sauce.
Brigsten's restaurant is led by chef/co-owner Frank Brigtsen, who produces spicy, home-style Acadian/Creole dishes in a cozy, century-old cottage in Riverbend.
Husband-and-wife team David and Torre Solazzo converted the boxy St. Tammany Parish court office into a Cal-Italian restaurant in 2002. The walls still retain their original brick, but chandelier lighting and blond-wood accents give the space a softer quality.
Serving up Cajun and Southern cuisine, Cochon on Tchoupitoulas Street is owned by James Beard award-winning chefs Donald Link and Stephen Strykewski. The spacious dining area boasts high ceilings, large windows, handmade modern wood-plank chairs and tables, and a bar made of etched steel.
From the homemade sangria to the vibrant, come-as-you-are atmosphere, Lola's is everything a Spanish joint seated in New Orleans should be.
A small round sign advertising warm beer, lousy food, and poor service marks the location of this lively uptown eatery.
This new eatery on Jackson Square in the French Quarter is local chef Scott Boswell's wake up call.

Why should the dumb Burmese migrant workers trust the banks run by Chinese from Singapore?
Besides, isn't Capitalism all about looking after yourself and give a sh*t about parochial national interests? Why should overseas Burmese, as good Capitalists, care about Burma's economy run by despotic generals and their corrupt business cronies? If I would be a migrant Burmese worker, I would never send my hard-earned money back to Burma, since Burma can't give me a decent job. I'd rather spend it in the country where I earn the money, smoking Cuban cigars and drinking expensive claret (Bordeaux wine), just like the nouveau-riche from China, Is there anything wrong with being selfish? If not why are US corporations outsourcing? You can't apply double-standards here?
Besides money can easily be printed (it's called QE in the West), so why add more fuel to the bubble that's going to explode. Just consume everything you can and be hedonistic. It's good fro the market! Damn the Victorian age norms of saving and investing what you have. Who cares about the future. You only live once and all the kids in the West seem to get it, so why not dumb Burmese migrant workers?
NO ONE has bothered to count how many people live in Myanmar since 1983 (when it was still Burma). No surprise then that no one has any clear idea how many people left the country during its 50 years under military rule. The men in green certainly did a savage job of mismanaging the economy though, and an untold number of their countrymen fled for want of opportunities at home. In 2009 the International Organisation for Migration (IOM) estimated that 10% of Myanmar's population, then estimated to be 50m to 55m people, were living abroad.
The IOM's estimate is roughly in line with a more recent one which suggests that there are between 2m and 4m Burmese workers in Thailand, perhaps another half-million in Malaysia, more than 100,000 in Singapore, a few thousand in Japan and South Korea, and then a totally unknown number in India and China.
So, if some 5m Burmese are earning their livelihoods abroad, how is it that last year only $566m (or 1.1% of GDP) worth of remittances ended up in the coffers of the Central Bank of Myanmar? In neighbouring Bangladesh, monetary authorities managed to get their hands on nearly $14 billion (or 12% of GDP) in remittances, channelled through their formal banking system by an overseas work force of roughly the same size.
The average migrant worker in Asia sends home nearly $4,000 every year, according to a recent report sponsored by the International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD) and the World Bank. Suppose we cut that in half in the case of Myanmar's emigrants, who must be poorer than the mode. Even then they should be sending home $10 billion—which is more than, say, the value of Myanmar's annual gas exports added to its formal bilateral trade with Thailand.
The reason for this enormous discrepancy is not exactly a mystery. Burmese migrant workers don't trust their banks and prefer informal channels to send their money home. This was only rational. For five decades Myanmar's banking sector was little more than the financing arm of the state. Bouts of high inflation coupled with low interest rates on deposits meant that having money in a bank was a money-losing proposition. The most recent full-blown banking crisis happened in 2003. And there have been at least three episodes of demonetisation since independence. In the most recent, in 1987, the government cancelled all of its 25-, 35- and 75-kyat notes, without warning or compensation—at a stroke rendering 75% of the currency in circulation worthless.
From the state's point of view, the public's reluctance to trust banks is a big and expensive problem, says Taffere Tesfachew, a director at the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD). It means that the government has to make do with smaller foreign reserves, which it needs to implement its exchange-rate policy. (The kyat has lost nearly 20% against the dollar since the central bank scrapped a 35-year fixed exchange-rate regime and adopted a managed float in 2012). Secondly, smaller foreign-exchange reserves mean less "collateral" to enhance the country's creditworthiness; they raise the cost of money more generally. Third, large illicit flows of money encourage illicit trade, says Mr Tesfachew.
All that is not to mention the potential benefits to millions of migrant workers' families, were remittances channelled into productive use rather than collecting under mattresses.
The country and its banks are at last opening up, but fixing the broken system of trust will be tricky. Plenty of Myanmar's private banks have tied up with banks in Thailand, Malaysia and Singapore to serve the overseas Burmese labour force. From a development perspective, these new channels for remittances are good news. They provide (registered) migrants with the option of sowing their cash into savings and investment at home.
But that is only a partial solution. Changing the behaviour of migrant workers—most of whom still prefer informal channels—takes time. It is reminiscent of the lag between falling rates of infant mortality in developing countries and rates measuring reproductive behaviour. The actual risk of their money's being wiped out by a capricious state may have been greatly reduced, but migrant workers' perception of risk cannot be expected to change overnight.
The biggest obstacle to getting their billions of dollars in remittances into Myanmar's formal financial system is the ubiquity of the informal channels of money transfer.
For Thailand's 2m to 4m Burmese migrants the traditional hundi system is cheaper, quicker and safer than anything the banks can offer. Rather than wire the money, brokers in Bangkok ask trusted counterparts in Myanmar to pay the recipient in cash, often on the same day. (There is a slightly costlier alternative, which involves cash being delivered to the doorstep, even in rural Myanmar: an informal network that migrants call "carry").
One of the leading hundi dealers is located in Bangkok's central business district. The dealer doubles as a trading company. Its rates are so competitive as to cast doubt over whether there is any margin left for commercial banks and money-transfer companies in serving Thailand's hidden labour force. If they can't find any, it is not for a lack of trying. Siam Commercial Bank, Thailand's third-largest commercial bank, is waiving its 200-baht ($7) fee for new remittances to Myanmar, at least until May 31st.
Dragging the informal financial flows between Thailand and Myanmar—the two countries with the biggest shadow economy relative to GDP in Asia—into the daylight will take time.
And the informal transfer of cash is only the obverse side of the coin. On the reverse is the compensatory trade. When a broker in Thailand asks his counterpart to pay a recipient in Myanmar, the former incurs a debt to the latter. The balance must be settled somehow and most often that is by the trade of gold, gems or anything that can be shipped or smuggled across the two countries' 1,800km border.

the fray barcelona Tickets
|Although we have run out of The Fray Barcelona Tickets, we would like to invite you to view tickets in the following places
Details of The Fray Barcelona and the Ticket Luck value
Who hasn't heard their heart-warming "How to Save a Life" and felt a bit teary-eyed at least once. Especially after it was used in the soundtrack for a show like 'Grey's Anatomy'? The Fray is undoubtedly one of the go-to bands for all those with a taste for the contemporary meshed in with a great rock sound. They manage to keep it current, classic and extremely memorable with every album and every song. "How to Save a Life" came out nine years ago! Nearly a decade old, and the song is still such a favorite on radios and on everyone's personal playlists. It is probably safe to say that the band owes their career's continually successful run to the release of that one song which shot them into super-stardom.
The band came together in 2002 and has released four albums so far. Their newest album Helios came out in February 2014 and ranked at number two on Billboard's US Top Rock Albums chart. On the Billboard 200, it peaked at number eight. It also reached number eleven on the Billboard's Canadian Albums chart. The album reached the Top 100 in many countries, including Korea, the United Kingdom, Switzerland and Spain.
Their debut album came out in September 2005 titled How to Save A Life, followed by the self-titled album The Fray in July 2009 and Scars and Stories in 2011. How to Save a Life was certified double platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America. The album also went platinum in Canada, Italy, Australia, Spain, Sweden and the United Kingdom and broke Coldplay's X&Y 's record for best-selling digital album of all time. A few still-popular tracks from this record are "Look After You" – which was used in the soundtrack for the movie 'Jumper' starring Hayden Christensen and Rachel Bilson – "Over My Head (Cable Car)" and of course "How To Save a Life."
Their second album, The Fray, was certified gold in Canada, Australia and the United States. It also peaked at the top of the Billboard charts, ensuring it a lot of airtime on radio stations worldwide. It was another great success for the band as it peaked at number one on the Billboard 200 and was a top five hit in Canada and Australia. The two songs off of this album that have made it through the years and remained loved, are "Never Say Never" and "You Found Me." "You Found Me" ranked at number seven on the Billboard Hot 100, reached number one on the Hot Adult Top 40 chart and spent a whopping thirty-eight weeks on the Hot 100 chart. It is also The Fray's third song to end up selling two million downloads in the States. "Never Say Never" off this record, earned the band a Grammy nomination in the Best Pop Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocals-category. From Scars and Stories "Heartbeat", "The Fighter" and "Run for Your Life" are some of the most memorable tracks.
Helios is the band's latest offering to their fans. The album's lead single "Love Don't Die" came out at the end of 2013, a few months before the album. It was premiered during one of the band's concerts in the States in 2013. It ranked at number seven on the Billboard's US Adult Top 40 and number eleven on the Hot Rock Songs chart. And now with their fourth album out, fans should keep their fingers crossed for a fifth. The Fray Barcelona tickets are a great chance to hear all these powerful, uplifting tracks performed live for a real chance to experience the emotions and raw-power the band aspires to exhibit with their music. Their concerts are part of the Helios Tour, which will take the band on a nationwide tour through July and then they will also be performing in South Africa, the United Kingdom, Germany, Netherlands, Belgium. They are also performing throughout June, playing closed venues and festivals like Summerfest and the Britt Festival.
The Fray Barcelona tickets are available for their performance at the Wolf Trap in Vienna on July 16. It's a perfect opportunity to hear fresh songs off Helios live to kick off your summer!

MINNEAPOLIS Justin Morneau is a first baseman. During his 10-year big league career, he hasn't set foot at any other spot on the field. But still recovering from numerous offseason surgeries (wrist, knee, foot) as well as a concussion, Morneau has yet to play a game at first base this season for the Minnesota Twins. Instead, the left-handed Morneau has been relegated to the designated hitter role as his health continues to improve. Morneau, 30, hopes to eventually get back on the field. The question is when. "I definitely want to get back at first. When? I'm not sure yet," Morneau said. "I'm going to continue to take ground balls and all the rest of that stuff. Obviously, I'm going to need to do it if I'm going to play in interleague. I don't know when that is. (The team has one interleague series in mid-May before hitting it hard starting June 19.) I'm sure I'll get out there before that." Morneau played a handful of games at first base this spring in Fort Myers, but as camp w...

Now I got the phone off a guy, had it he unlocked the bootloader,rooted,and gave me the phone already running 4.1(dirty 1.8).no back ups to even a rooted stock.
Although I love jelly bean this battery is killing me and I would really like to have at least a stock zip I can flash in emergencies.
I am so unfamiliar with HTC(nexus one was the last one I owned)thank I really don't want to brick it.
OK so my questions are these
I have the rogers version of the Onex is there certain builds I need to look for or are they all just HTC one x?
With HTC is there a fallback like with samsung if things go wrong at least there's always download mode and Odin.
Do I need to have my boot loader unlocked?
Thanks in advance
And sorry for the noobness I just can't kill 2 phones in a week

Re: Your thoughts on my A/C install plan/Mac25 1984
Hi Denise... We met yeas ago when I bought my sailboat from Paul Lodge. I remember that you showed me how to reef a sail. I also remember that you are an HVAC specialist too.
Thanks for the insight on the condensation disappearance. FYI, the A/C was just thru the same heatwave you have been in and it didn't show any condensate so I guess it is working even in the extreme HHH.
If I had the expertise that you have I possibly would have taken apart the unit into components that I could fit in more readily, but I am not that knowledgeable.
I am a member of the Bristol Yacht Club but I have the boat in Somers Point for the season... I needed to sail where I can really sail...
Last summer I chartered a Jeanneau 39 and toured the Chesapeake. It was also as hot then as it has been now.
Do you still have sailboat races on Tuesday Nights at Anchor?
Also, I have shot some sailboat tours at the Annapolis Sailboat Show and you can see them at
Sailboat Video Home
if you would like to take a peek.
Thanks again,

We are with the walrus.
And we would like the same for all our Guests.
Against the dissolution of Artic,
Against drilling projects to produce new oil,
That will further accelerate the dissolution of Artic Ice,
Because or we learn to live producing less pollution,
Or we do not know which kind of world we will leave to our children.
We can start doing some little but important things,
Like to use the air conditioning at 22 and not 18 degrees,
The heating at 21 and not 25 degrees,
And switch off air conditioning or heating and lights,
Every time we get out.
Let be a walrus, as Sir Paul Mc Cartney,
Let save the Artic Ice,

Lots of room for two, with everything you need, right next to Metro.
David and Arturo are great hosts, always reachable, very reliable, with good recomondations, great!
Our host was great, very helpful. The description of the apartment was good and location great
We stayed the apartment for five days.David and Arturo were very helpful.The apartment was in a great location and clean...We had a wonderful trip to Rome.Thank you to David and Arturo...
Malgrado un problema di salute, che ha causato solo un minimo di ritardo sull'appuntamento, il mio ospite è stato impeccabile. L'appartamento corrisponde alla descrizione, è molto comodo. L'ho usato anche per lavorare e mi sono sentito molto a mio agio, ma certo è ottimo anche per chi è a Roma per turismo: centrale, ben collegato (metro davvero a pochi passi), in un quartiere vivace e fornito di tutto.
Mi sento di consigliarlo senza riserve.
David`s brother Arturo, picked us up at the airport when we arrived - and he was very helpful, enjoyable and gave us lots of great tips about Rome. A really great start of our vacation :-)
The apartment is located in a perfect and very safe area of Rome - with walking distance to the Colluseum and other great highlights. The Metro is just 30 seconds away and Bus 117 (who drives through the city) 3 minutes away. Public transport is cheap and good.
Would highly recommend this apartment, and it has all you need for a good stay. Nice bath and a big bedroom with a lot of closet space in the living room. A kitchen with everything you need for a weekend. Big plus for quick WIFI and iron/iron board.
We had a great stay! Thank you guys :-)
Very nice place. Great location. Clean. Walking distance from the Colosseum and close to the metro. We took cabs to the Vatican and it wasn't too bad in terms of price. Would definitely book again. Would also recommend paying for the airport transfer at the end if possible. Arturo was one of the nicest people I met in Italy and very helpful and reliable.

The Department of Children and Families is pleased to offer classes and trainings as a means of supporting the work of its provider partners in our collaborative efforts to protect children, improve child and family well-being, and support and preserve families. Courses are offered free-of-charge to families and contracted providers and range from half-day, to full-day to multiple day offerings. All courses can be specially designed to meet an Agency's specific needs. Although most courses have a direct relationship to the children and/or families who are served within the department's service system, the types of trainings vary markedly. The Academy is currently focusing on four tracks: family-centered practice; trauma and the effects of trauma; child and adolescent development; and foster care.
Trainers: Trainers include experienced DCF staff, professors from local colleges and universities, professionals from other state agencies, providers with expertise in myriad arenas, and partners from the broader community. The goal is to partner providers with department staff for many of the trainings.
We are always interested in collaborating with our community partners who possess expertise in a wide range of areas, who have training experience and would be willing to share this knowledge by training through the Academy , generally pro bono. If you are a teacher/professor or professional who would like to share your expertise, please contact the Provider Academy Director: firstname.lastname@example.com
Course Training Locations: Courses are sited primarily within the community in order to expand the ability of families and agencies to attend more locally. If your agency is interested in hosting a training (half-day to several days) of 20 to 25 people, please let us know. Requirements include a room to accommodate the number of participants, parking availability, and audio-visual capabilities. In return for hosting the training, the agency may reserve up to half of the slots in that training.
Have a special Training Need? Looking for a training that isn't listed in the Course Guide? Additional trainings can be arranged. We strongly encourage you to give us your comments and suggestions for additional trainings, as well as about trainings that you find particularly useful. The Academy is involved in many training initiatives for targeted groups which occur through special requests.
If your agency or group has a need for training or facilitation that we may be able to assist with, please contact the Provider Academy Director: email@example.com for more information.
Registration: As of December 1, 2011, all registrations are completed online. Simply, go to the course you would like to attend and "register" at the bottom of the page.

Great table. Wrong description.
Helge from United States – Verified Buyer
If you're hoping to buy a table with a fir top and distressed metal legs, look elsewhere. This is a very nice tempered glass piece with chrome legs. It won't age like my favorite pair of jeans. But I'll still enjoy looking at it for years.
Loved it!

Hoya Gold Star - yellowing leaves, about to excise parts!
Hi all :)
I live in Brisbane, Australia which has a subtropical climate - most like Miami or LA - I leave most of my hoyas and orchids outside most of the year unless we have (very rarely) frosts - some of the local hoyas handle it very well though so I dont bother.
I have a Hoya Gold Star, which has been growing very well and very fast for approximately 15 months - Over the past 3 months, I noticed that it stopped growth, dropped leaves and the last stem from the node started to wilt and yellow - so i cut it. The plant seemed fine and not much happened for a month until I noticed random leaves developing yellow spots.
Spots would develop on both lower and younger leaves - I thought it may be lack of nutrients so gave it a liberal shot of worm juice - nothing.
I then thought it may be waterlogged and rotting, so repotted it into some new loose orchid/sand/potting mix. Cut back on the water (which I was loathe to do as it was still quite warm at the time) - still nothing.
It is now yellowed and spotted all over, has been dropping leaves and looks to be getting ready to yellowing/excising stems from the nodes.
I have attached pictures:
This is what it looks like on the stems where it is about to excise
I was worried it could be tomato spotted wilt virus - which is endemic to the area and has described symptoms - however the rest of my hoyas, and my tomatoes are perfectly fine.
I have taken cuttings of the vines and nodes which looked like they were about to excise and put them in a mix of light potting mix, perlite and orchid bark for drainage. I have left the base of the plant in its pot - It is winter now so I am not expecting too much :(
Any ideas what could be causing this??
Thank you!!
I assume when you repotted it you checked out the roots and they looked healthy and undamaged? How long ago did you take the cuttings? If they have rooted, are they showing better behavior?
I don't know much about tomato spotted wilt virus, so I can't comment on that, but its appearance looks just like, say, an obscura that hasn't been watered quickly enough, or a cutting that hasn't gotten its roots formed yet. If it were mine, I would be inclined to re-root it. Sometimes when a Hoya is failing, this is the fastest way to get it back on its feet. Even though it's a drastic measure, it has saved many a plant that has gone into sudden decline or even a cutting that never really thrived.
You do seem a very thorough sort, so I hope this doesn't seem like too much of a duh-I-tried-that answer. It's just that the culprit is usually the most obvious thing.
Good luck!
Hi Greedyghost - thanks for your reply :)
I did check the roots on the original plant when i repotted it and they were very healthy, abundant but not too much for the size of the pot it was in. That was my original worry that I had somehow overwatered it and the roots had died... but they were OK.
I had only just taken the cuttings so I can't comment on how they are doing yet - im considering turning my cutting container into a mini greenhouse to speed up the process - i'll keep you all posted
When you say to re-root the original plant - do you mean to cut off the stem to the first node and attempt to root that? I have rooted various stem cuttings but never re-rooted a plant so i'd like to get it right :) Plus - I dont want to lose this one, i've heard its a pain to get to flower but it grows like a weed (when its growing!!)
Yes, that is precisely what I mean. I've had plants before, where the root system did not appear to the eye to be faulty, but the plant seemed frail or sickly. I can only assume that there were some problems there nonetheless, because when I rerooted them, they would never show the same symptoms again. Sometimes I wish I had done it long ago, but, you know, you never want to do it until you have to.
I am not alone in this experience. If you do a search you will find that many more veteran Hoya growers follow this procedure in times of need.
I hope you have luck as I am very happy you joined us here. It sounds like, with your area of study, you will be an interesting contributor. :)
Following up on this...
I took these cuttings and re-rooted at the tail-end of the 'warm' weather here, needless to say they just kept getting more and more yellow and died :( The liddle catalogue has this one listed as a tropical cultivar - we have not had a particularly cold winter (yet) but I am guessing this one is finicky and needs to come inside as soon as the temperature starts dropping of an evening.
Bummer... time to get another cutting!!
I've got this one that I got from David Liddle. As you say, it grows like a weed. Some times some of the leaves look a little more yellow than I think is normal but I've always attributed that to too much water. Brisbane has been getting a lot of rain this year, so maybe your plant hasn't had a chance to dry out sufficiently. Cooler weather this time of year wouldn't help.
Mine hasn't flowered yet despite the good growth, making me wonder whether it's the good growth that's making it reluctant to flower. It's getting to around the 3 year mark so hopefully soon. I've already got plenty of leaves in the garden, a few more flowers wouldn't go astray.
This is definitely one I will be getting again - I really do like the colour of the foliage :)
I havent purchased from the liddle nursery yet, even though I have had this years catalogue for quite some time - how do the cuttings get sent? are they are decent size?
I'll be replacing the gold star and my calycina (which is also on its way out) from the liddle nursery - just wondering what to expect!
Tropical lowland Hoya species are ok with night time lows between 15 C and 10 C. Sensitive species would be best closer to 15C but I think these are the exception. Still some species will really let you know if they get too cold.
As soon as you start dealing with species from the mountains/higher elevations they become much more tolerant of lower temperatures. Most of the Eriostemmas are from lowland habitats and they like it hot during the day and warm at night.
It seems to be quite common for people to post photos of their Eriostemmas showing what looks like chlorosis. Chlorosis (lack of chlorophyll) is usually due to either an unhealthy root system or a nutrient (macro or micro) deficiency. Eriostemmas commonly grow in alkaline soils so my first guess is that the plant is not able to use nutrients properly if the potting mix is too acidic. Are you using anything to help adjust the pH? Crushed limestone, oyster shell, or dolomitic lime?
The leaf in your photo does not really look chlorotic, at least there is still a lot of chlorophyll present. I wonder if in the case of your plant of this is not a fungal disease?
I was thinking exactly the same thing mike - fungi or virus... Tomato spotted wilt virus is endemic to the area and has similar symptoms. However no other hoyas have exhibited the same symptoms and my tomato plants are unaffected.
When I get a new cutting from the liddle nursery I will make sure it goes into alkaline mix.
Quoting Asterope:
"I havent purchased from the liddle nursery yet, even though I have had this years catalogue for quite some time - how do the cuttings get sent? are they are decent size?"
"I'll be replacing the gold star and my calycina (which is also on its way out) from the liddle nursery - just wondering what to expect!"
I went in to see David Liddle (not all that long before he passed away) to discuss which Hoyas would be suited to my climate. Later when I got back home I got him to post the plants. They arrived in really good condition, already rooted and in some soil. The cuttings were longer than what some others had sent me. After he passed away, his wife who is a school teacher was planning on selling the business which included a quarantine station for plants. I don't know whether she went ahead and there are new owners. David was an amazingly knowledgeable person and a great loss to the Hoya world.

A steady and strong wind off Lake Bemidji hampered the competitors during Friday's Bemidji girls golf invitational at the Bemidji Town & Country Club but the temperatures were pleasant and no one was complaining. "It was windy but Friday was the best day we have had during for a meet this season," said BHS coach Jeff Nelson. "It was nice to be outside on such a nice day." Detroit Lakes topped the field by finishing at 341 on the par 36-36-72 BT&CC layout.
Today's original schedule saw four the Bemidji sports teams in action but predicted rain and wind coaxed event officials to call off the softball team's trip to Detroit Lakes. The Lumberjacks tennis team also was scheduled to participate in today's Moorhead Invitational but a lack of courts resulted in a change of plans and Bemidji will be taking the day off. The abbreviated schedule now finds the boys golfers taking split squads to Greystone near Sauk Centre and to the Staples Invitational. Also on today's agenda is a trip to Pokegama in Grand Rapids for the girls golf team. The top six b
It's a long way from Bemidji to Duluth but Thursday's trip by the Bemidji softball team seemed especially lengthy as the Lumberjacks gave Duluth East five unearned runs which handed the home team a 5-3 victory. "We should have won 2-0 but we gave away too many outs," said BHS coach Brad Takkunen.
It probably will be chilly when the Bemidji girls golfers and their fellow competitors hit their initial shots at the Bemidji Invitational this morning. The 11-team meet is scheduled for a 9:30 a.m.
Thief River Falls lived up to its No. 5 billing in the Class A boys tennis ranks Thursday as the Prowlers defeated Bemidji 7-0 in Thief River Falls. "We took one on the chin but Thief River Falls is a very good team," said BHS coach Mark Fodness whose team dipped to 4-3. "Thief River knows how to finish a game and that's what they did to us." The Lumberjacks never threatened TRF as the home team won each match in straight sets. The closest Bemidji came were a pair of 6-2, 6-2 losses.
Another snowstorm, this one targeting the Nisswa area, limited the Bemidji boys golf team and its competition to nine holes Wednesday during the Brainerd Invitational at The Pines. Originally scheduled for 18 holes the meet was called early when snow covered the greens.
The Bemidji boys tennis team swept the singles and captured two of the three doubles matches on way to a 6-1 victory Tuesday at Detroit Lakes. The Lakers rested their hopes on the doubles matches, hoping to win all three and try to steal a victory or two in singles. But BHS had other ideas. "Detroit Lakes' strength was its doubles teams," said Lumberjacks coach Mark Fodness. "But we played very well at all three doubles matches and in singles we didn't let Detroit Lakes off the hook.
Blackduck and Cass Lake-Bena met Monday in Blackduck and on the line were area bragging rights in Class A baseball. The game was originally scheduled for last Monday but had to be postponed when the area was hit with an April snowstorm. Blackduck did win three games last week to improve to 6-0 while CL-B picked up a pair of victories and owned a 4-1 record heading into the contest. Bagley also is 4-1 heading into the week as the Flyers split their most recent games, falling 5-4 to Cass Lake-Bena but spilling Kelliher-Northome 6-1. Blackduck throttled Pine River-Backus 16-6 in five innings
Meg Phelps carded rounds of 43-44-87 to lead the Bemidji girls golf team at Monday's Staples Invitational held at Cragun's Legacy Course near Brainerd. "We started out a little rugged which is to be expected because many of our girls had never played this course before," said BHS coach Jeff Nelson. "It's a short course but you have to play target golf. Because there are hazards everywhere you have to be accurate with every shot.
