Starting and Growing Passionfruit from Grocery store
I fell in love with passionfruit in Africa. I must have at least a hundred or two on my 2 week trip, maybe more. (10-20 a day!!) I've looked for a passionfruit from all the grocery stores in Phoenix for the past 4 years with no luck. I finally found one at AJs, our high end grocery, for $3.50 a fruit. Not going to be eating 10-20 a day at that rate!! I'm waiting to eat it until I know what to do with it. Have it in the fridge right now.
How do I start these vines from the seed of this fruit? Do they require sun, shade or partial shade? Do I need to protect from light or hard freeze? Lots of water or little water? Do I trim or prune at all? I assume it needs a trellis?
I have some areas that get flood irrigation, some partial, some full shade and some full sun.
what color were the passionfruit in Africa? i grow a small purple variety called purple possum, a larger yellow called sweet sunrise and a red variety in between called panama red.
they would definitely need winter protection below 40 degrees. they like alot of humidity and warmth.
Most of the grocery stores around here carry P. edulis. A lot depends on the variety that you have but most are easy to start from seed and the fresher the better. You can clean the seed prior to planting or plant it with the aril still on (but remove the juice). Barely cover the seed with potting mix and keep it warm. You can cover the pot to hold in humidity but remove the cover when it germinates.
If it is an edulis you can probably grow it outside in the ground. It might die back during the winter but will grow when it warms up. Since there's loads of seed in each fruit try some inground and keep some in a container with protection. They might need cross pollination to set fruit and hand pollination might be necessary. If it's edulis I think the purple variety is self pollinating but not the yellow variety.
Most like full sun and don't want wet feet. Make sure they are in well draining soil. They are average feeders and I honestly feed my passies infrequently. Potassium increases flower production. I dig a bit of chopped banana peels into the soil around my plants. I don't remember where I heard about doing that but the plants seem to like it. You might want to check out the passiflora forum.
I would agree with Karyn that you will likely find a ton of info in the Passiflora forum. You can search for "edulis", as that is likely the type that you are trying to grow. Be aware that the seeds can take a long time to germinate, though the fresh ones are definitely faster.
Possibly a better option would be to buy a plant from a reliable source or trade with someone on the Passiflora forum. That way you can get one that will reliably fruit on it's own, (not all of them do).
Good luck!
Thanks ifraser! Glad you gave me this tip. I will,try this and get some mature vines at home depot. I'm trying to replace a wall of ugly cats claw in part- shade but I'll some in the sun too, just to be sure.
In Africa I was on a dive boat for 10 days. They took out crates and crates of all different color fruits. Makes me think they were pretty cheap relatively.

People can die from dehydration in as little as three to seven days, depending on body mass and the temperature of the environment. Ghurabi said Chong was wise to drink his own urine to stay hydrated.
Chong said he urinated on the cell's only furniture — a metal bench — to be able to drink the fluid. He stacked a blanket, his pants and shoes on top of the bench to try to climb up and trigger a fire sprinkler on the ceiling, but his repeated attempts failed.
After the days dragged on, Chong said he accepted the fact that he would die. He considered taking his own life rather than withering away by dehydration. He bit into his eyeglasses to break them and then tried to use a shard to scratch "Sorry Mom" into his arm. He stopped after the "S," too weak to continue.
He said he wanted to leave his mother some message and that was the shortest one he could think of to write.
Then the lights went out. Chong sat and scooted along the floor, bound in darkness for the final two days. He said his hallucinations deepened: The blanket transformed into a person, then two people. He could no longer urinate. He said he screamed for agents to have mercy on him and just give him a quick death.
"My breath was getting shorter and shorter," he said. "I felt paralyzed. It was really hard to stand. I started screaming something ridiculous like, 'Remedy! Revive me!' And then that's when the lights turned on and the agents opened the door with very confused looks on their faces. They said, 'Who are you? Where'd you come from?'"
Paramedics took Chong to a hospital, where doctors also treated him for cramps, and a perforated esophagus from swallowing a glass shard. Chong, who weighed 166 pounds before the bust, said he lost 15 pounds during the ordeal.
Chong spent five days at the hospital, including three in intensive care, before leaving Sunday. His roommates told him they had filed a missing persons report. He missed a midterm exam.
"The DEA's answer to this is: 'Oh, we forgot about him. I'm sorry,'" said his lawyer, Iredale.
Chong was not going to be charged with a crime and should have been released, said a law enforcement official who was briefed on the DEA case and spoke on the condition of anonymity because he wasn't authorized to speak about the ongoing investigation.
Chong said he has no criminal record.
The top DEA agent in San Diego, William R. Sherman, said in a news release that he was "deeply troubled" by what happened to Chong. "I extend my deepest apologies (to) the young man," he said.
Sherman, the special agent in-charge in San Diego, said the event is not indicative of the high standards to which he holds his employees. He said he has personally ordered an extensive review of his office's policies and procedures. The agency declined to say what those were.
Chong said no one has contacted him personally to apologize.
Doctors said Chong's wounds should heal, but he said he still breaks down in tears.
"I'm very glad they found me," he said.
Federal lawmakers are demanding a thorough investigation. Sen. Barbara Boxer, D-Calif., sent a letter Wednesday to Attorney General Eric Holder.
"Please provide me with the results and the actions the department will take to make sure those responsible are held accountable and that no one in DEA custody will ever again be forced to endure such treatment," the letter stated.
Associated Press writers Alicia A. Caldwell and Kevin Freking in Washington, Elliot Spagat in San Diego, and Amy Taxin in Orange County, Calif., contributed to this report.

You demanded it! At the end of the second installment of our look at the original Monster Manual we solicited suggestions from readers. We asked for topics for future articles. There were a lot of great offerings, but none came up in the emails more than the legendary Dungeon Module S1 entitled "Tomb of Horrors." Gary Gygax prefaces the module with a warning that it is a "thinking man's adventure." Let's hope you like thinking about your own suffering.
Zack: A few weeks ago we requested suggestions for future articles. We received a ton of emails about stupid D&D books and stupid products from various other RPG systems. One title kept coming up.
Steve: Was it Rifts? I bet it was Rifts.
Zack: That came up a lot, but no. It was AD&D Dungeon Module S1, also known as the "Tomb of Horrors." A reader by the name of Katie sent us the following:Steve: Two things. First off, she sent that to "us"? Because I don't think she sent that to me. You used your email address and then never showed me any of the emails even though you said you would. So she sent that to you. Also, Katie, how is it going? Do you like frenching? How about top off frenching? You down?
All I gotta say is "Tomb of Horrors". It's full of batshit insanity and borderline impossible gaming. There's a reason they sell bumper stickers that say "I survived the Tomb of Horrors". In the gaming world, it's truly an accomplishment.
Zack: Katie's email is a good example of the attitude most people had towards "Tomb of Horrors." It has a reputation as the cruelest module ever devised and it is elevated to legendary status because it was penned by Gygax himself.
Steve: God asked Abraham to burn his only level 11 fighter-mage to prove his faith.
Zack: We are going to brave the Tomb of Horrors, and its many traps and silly player handouts, so that you don't have to.
Steve: Nobody really has to brave the Tomb of Horrors. Do they?
Zack: I'm being melodramatic.
Steve: Oh, okay, good. I thought there might be some new rule I hadn't heard about.
Zack: Huh?
Steve: Obama is changing things.

Florida ranks fourth nationally in foreclosure rates for first quarter
The state's number of foreclosures for March 2009 was 47,131, nearly 56 percent greater than 2008. The number of Florida foreclosures for March 2009 was 47,131, nearly 56 percent greater than 2008.

OCALA - Florida ranked fourth in the nation for foreclosure rates during the first quarter of the year, with one out of every 73 home loans either in default or on its way.
The number of foreclosures for March 2009 was 47,131, only about 2 percent more than the number recorded in February but nearly 56 percent greater than the March 2008, data, according to RealtyTrac on Thursday.
RealtyTrac is an Internet trade publication which analyzes foreclosures.
Ocala's foreclosure rate held steady for March, with 556 new foreclosures compared to 569 new foreclosures in January.
That meant that one in every 280 homes in Ocala was in foreclosure.
Bert Meadows, president of the Marion County Association of Realtors, said that leveling off of foreclosures in the Ocala area could be attributed to the federal government's recent moves to help property owners refinance and lower monthly mortgage rates.
Meadows thinks another contributing factor was an increase in home sales, which helps keep homes from being taken back by banks.
Although Florida is fourth in foreclosure rates, it was second - only behind California - in the total number of foreclosures reported this quarter.
Florida's good news is that the number of foreclosures for the first quarter of the year was down 12 percent from the previous three-month total.
RealtyTrac reported that the five states - California, Florida, Arizona, Nevada and Illinois - accounted for nearly 60 percent of the nation's foreclosure activity in the first quarter, with 479,516 properties receiving foreclosure filings.
Nationwide, one in every 153 homeowners was foreclosed on during the first quarter of this year.
There were 803,000 filings, a 9 percent increase from the fourth quarter of 2008.
The foreclosure level is the highest on record.

VIEWS: 1,671 PAGES: 13 CATEGORY: The Global Economy POSTED ON: 5/28/2009
Global warming is effecting each and every aspect of our life and thus also effecting the countries and their economy so be aware of it as it is effecting U
EFFECTS OF GLOBAL WARMING ON INDIAN ECONOMY INTRODUCTION The net impact of global warming so far has been modest, but near-future effects are likely to become significantly negative, with large-scale extreme impacts possible by the end of the century. The predicted effects of global warming on the environment and for human life are numerous and varied. It is generally difficult to attribute specific natural phenomena to long-term causes, but some effects of recent climate change may already be occurring. Rising sea levels, glacier retreat, and altered patterns of agriculture are cited as direct consequences, but predictions for secondary and regional effects include extreme weather events, an expansion of tropical diseases, and drastic economic impact. Concerns have led to political activism advocating proposals to mitigate, eliminate, or adapt to it. If we do not wake up now then it would be too late for an awakening. WHAT IS GLOBAL WARMING: Global warming refers to the increase in the average temperature of the Earth's near-surface air and oceans in recent decades and its projected continuation. Here is the explanation of the whole phenomenon of global warming. What happens is that solar radiation in the form of light waves passes through the atmosphere; most of the radiation is absorbed by the earth and warms it. Some energy is radiated back into space by the earth in the form of infrared waves. Some of the infra radiation is trapped by the earth's atmosphere and warms it, infect it is good as it maintains the temperature of the earth constant and relatively liveable. But what global warming is doing is that it is thickening the atmospheric layer of the earth and trapping the majority of the infrared, which is ultimately increasing the temperature of the earth. The world is releasing 70 million tons of CO2 in the atmosphere. India alone is releasing .91 billion tons of carbon annually in atmosphere. Carbon emission has reached the level of 400 parts per million. Carbon emission per person in India is .25 ton. The global average air temperature near the Earth's surface rose 0.74 ± 0.18 °C (1.33 ± 0.32 °F) during the last 100 years. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) concludes, "most of the observed increase in globally averaged temperatures since the mid-20th century is very likely due to the observed increase in anthropogenic greenhouse gas concentrations" via the greenhouse effect. Causes of Global Warming Carbon Dioxide from Power Plants: Coal emits around 1.7 times as much carbon per unit of energy when burned as does natural gas and 1.25 times as much as oil. Natural gas gives off 50% of the carbon dioxide, the principal greenhouse gas, released by coal and 25% less carbon dioxide than oil, for the same amount of energy produced. Coal contains about 80 percent more carbon per unit of energy than gas does, and oil contains about 40 percent more. For the typical U.S. household, a metric ton of carbon equals about 10,000 miles of driving at 25 miles per gallon of gasoline or about one year of home heating using a natural gas-fired furnace or about four months of electricity from coal-fired generation. In 2006 about 60% of Indian carbon dioxide emissions stem from the burning of fossil fuels for the purpose of electricity generation. Coal accounts for 93 percent of the emissions from the electric utility industry. Carbon Dioxide Emitted from Cars: About 20% of world carbon dioxide emissions come from the burning of gasoline in internal-combustion engines of cars and light trucks (minivans, sport utility vehicles, pick-up trucks, and jeeps). For example, a new Dodge Durango sports utility vehicle (with a 5.9 litre engine) that gets 12 miles per gallon in the city will emit an estimated 800 pounds of carbon dioxide over a distance of 500 city miles. In other words for each gallon of gas a vehicle consumes, 19.6 pounds of carbon dioxide are emitted into the air. The UN's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change estimates that aviation causes 3.5 percent of global warming, and that the figure could rise to 15 percent by 2050. Carbon Dioxide from Buildings: Buildings structure account for about 12% of carbon dioxide emissions. Methane: While carbon dioxide is the principal greenhouse gas, methane is second most important. According to the IPCC, Methane is more than 20 times as effective as CO2 at trapping heat in the atmosphere. Methane is derived from sources such as rice paddies, bovine flatulence, bacteria in bogs and fossil fuel production. Most of the world's rice is grown on flooded fields. When fields are flooded, anaerobic conditions develop and the organic matter in the soil decomposes, releasing CH4 to the atmosphere, primarily through the rice plants. Nitrous oxide: Another greenhouse gas is Nitrous oxide (N2O), a colourless, nonflammable gas with a sweetish odour, commonly known as "laughing gas", and sometimes used as an anaesthetic. Nitrous oxide is naturally produced by oceans and rainforests. Man-made sources of nitrous oxide include nylon and nitric acid production, the use of fertilisers in agriculture, cars with catalytic converters and the burning of organic matter. Nitrous oxide is broken down in the atmosphere by chemical reactions that involve sunlight. Deforestation: After carbon emissions caused by humans, deforestation is the second principle cause of atmospheric carbon dioxide. Deforestation is responsible for 25% of all carbon emissions entering the atmosphere, by the burning and cutting of about 34 million acres of trees each year. We are losing millions of acres of rainforests each year, the equivalent in area to the size of Italy. The destroying of tropical forests alone is throwing hundreds of millions of tons of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere each year. We are also losing temperate forests. The temperate forests of the world account for an absorption rate of 2 billion tons of carbon annually. In the temperate forests of Siberia alone, the earth is losing 10 million acres per year. In India the size of the forest land has reduced to only 13% of the total land area. City Gridlock: In 1996 according to an annual study by traffic engineers from Texas A and M University, it was found that drivers in Los Angeles and New York City alone wasted 600 million gallons of gas annually while just sitting in traffic. The 600 million gallons of gas translates to about 7.5 million tons of carbon dioxide in just those two cities. In India the situation is pretty much similar, because of huge traffic explosion million gallons of gas is wasted in India. Carbon in Atmosphere and Ocean: The atmosphere contains about 750 billion tons of carbon, while 800 billion tons are dissolved in the surface layers of the world's oceans. The world is emitting 70 million tons of carbon each day of which 25 million ton of carbon is absorbed by the oceans over the world. Permafrost: Permafrost is a solid structure of frozen soil, extending to depths of 2.200 feet in some areas of the arctic and sub arctic regions, containing grasses, roots, sticks, much of it dating back to 30,000 years. About 25% of the land areas of the Northern Hemisphere hold permafrost; this is defined as soil whose temperature has been 32 degrees Fahrenheit (0 degrees Celsius) for a period of at least 2 years. Permafrost is under 85% of Alaska land surface and much of Canada, Scandinavia and Siberia and holds about 14 per cent of the world's carbon. The hard permafrost on which is built homes and other buildings, can, with rising temperatures, turn into a soft material causing subsidence and damage to buildings, electric generating stations, pipelines and other structures. Ground instability would cause erosion, affect terrain, slopes, roads, foundations and more. Permafrost has acted as a carbon sink, locking away carbon and other greenhouse gases like methane, for thousands of year. But there is now evidence that this is no longer the case, and the permafrost in some areas is starting to give back its carbon. This could accelerate the greenhouse effect. Tundra: About 50 billion tons of carbon is estimated to be held in a frozen state in the tundra, and now the tundra is beginning to become a source of carbon dioxide. Tundra is already losing carbon dioxide to the atmosphere. So that by the start 1982, the tundra had already warmed and dried enough, that its historic role as a carbon sink had reversed and changed. It was now losing carbon dioxide to the atmosphere. That was totally unexpected. Population : Increase in the population is also the major root cause for global warming. Use of non renewable source of energy: India is using huge amount of non renewable energy which is causing global warming. We are depleting the stock of natural resource of the country. EFFECTS OF GLOBAL WARMING: Many estimates of aggregate net economic costs of damages from climate change across the globe, the social cost of carbon (SCC), expressed in terms of future net benefits and costs that are discounted to the present, are now available. Peer-reviewed estimates of the SCC for 2005 have an average value of US$43 per tonne of carbon (i.e., US$12 per tonne of carbon dioxide) but the range around this mean is large. For example, in a survey of 100 estimates, the values ran from US$-10 per tonne of carbon (US$-3 per tonne of carbon dioxide) up to US$350/tC (US$95 per tonne of carbon dioxide.) Vice-President of the World Bank Nicholas Stern, he states that climate change could affect growth which could be cut by one-fifth unless drastic action is taken. Stern has warned that one percent of global GDP is required to be invested in order to mitigate the effects of climate change, and that failure to do so could risk a recession worth up to twenty percent of global GDP. Stern's report suggests that climate change threatens to be the greatest and widest-ranging market failure ever seen. The report has had significant political effects. It has been said by a number of scientist that if the same rate of global warming continues then India will be the most affected country in the near future as India is a developing country. India may be a long way from melting polar ice caps, but its economy will be among the worst affect on account of climate change. According to a report by Lehman Brothers India's GDP would dip by 5% for every two degree temperature rise. John Llewellyn Lehman Brothers global economist, said, climate changes are likely to effect India in a host of ways. Both India and Bangladesh would face problems because of rising sea levels. Agricultural productivity would also be affected as monsoons will be short with intense bursts. Water supply would also suffer because of lesser snowfall in the Himalayas, which provide water for 40% of the world's population. The effect on GDP will be non-linear. Initially, every 2 degree rise in temperature would result in a 3% dip in global GDP. The next 2 degrees would do even more damage to the economy. However for India the effects are likely to be much more harmful. For every 2 degree rise in temperature the effect on GDP is 5% and for the next 6 degrees it would be 15-16%. He feels that India may lag China and be amongst the last of the major emitters to enact policy that seriously bears down on greenhouse gas emissions. According to Mr Llewellyn, there is both a direct and indirect effect due to climate changes and this differs from sector to sector and country to country. Here is a list of sectors which will be affected by global warming. AGRICULTURE: For some time it was hoped that a positive effect of global warming would be increased agricultural yields, because of the role of carbon dioxide in photosynthesis, especially in preventing photorespiration, which is responsible for significant destruction of several crops. In Iceland, rising temperatures have made possible the widespread sowing of barley, which was untenable twenty years ago. Some of the warming is due to a local (possibly temporary) effect via ocean currents from the Caribbean, which has also affected fish stocks. While local benefits may be felt in some regions (such as Siberia), recent evidence is that global yields will be negatively affected. "Rising atmospheric temperatures, longer droughts and side-effects of both, such as higher levels of ground-level ozone gas, are likely to bring about a substantial reduction in crop yields in the coming decades, large-scale experiments have shown". Moreover, the region likely to be worst affected is India, both because its geography makes it particularly vulnerable, and because seventy per cent of the population rely on rain-fed agriculture for their livelihoods. It has been found that the areas that usually get two rainfalls in the year will probably get more, and those that get only one rainy season will get far less. As mentioned Indian agriculture sector will be the most affected as rainfall will become unpredictable. The areas which receive high rainfall may receive low rainfall and areas where there is low rainfall may receive sudden and huge rainfall. Drought and floods will become the order of the day. One year a particular area may be flooded and another year that area may go through a drought period. Crop yield will become unpredictable and low. As we know agriculture contributes 25% in our GDP. One fifth of our export comprises of agriculture goods. Two third of the population is dependent on agriculture in India. INSURANCE: An industry very directly affected by the risks is the insurance industry; the number of major natural disasters has tripled since the 1960s, and insured losses increased fifteen fold in real terms. According to one study, 35–40% of the worst catastrophes have been climate change related. Over the past three decades, the proportion of the global population affected by weather-related disasters has doubled in linear trend, rising from roughly 2% in 1975 to 4% in 2001. According to a 2005 report limiting carbon emissions could avoid 80% of the projected additional annual cost of tropical cyclones by the 2080s. A June 2004 report declared "Climate change is not a remote issue for future generations to deal with. It is, in various forms, here already, impacting on insurers' businesses now." It noted that weather risks for households and property were already increasing by 2-4 % per year due to changing weather, and that claims for storm and flood damages had doubled over the period 1998–2003, compared to the previous five years. The results are rising insurance premiums, and the risk that in some areas flood insurance will become unaffordable for some. If we look at an example thing will become more profound. Insurance companies in Mumbai received claims of 16000 cars and 30000 two wheeler destroyed in the floods, Surat with 50000 cars and 75000 two wheelers. Insurance companies suffered loss of more than Rs 500cr. Financial institutions warned that "the increasing frequency of severe climatic events, coupled with social trends" could cost almost US$150 billion each year in the next decade. These costs would, through increased costs related to insurance and disaster relief, burden customers, taxpayers, and industry alike. TRANSPORT: Roads, airport runways, railway lines and pipelines, (including oil pipelines, sewers, water mains etc) may require increased maintenance and renewal as they become subject to greater temperature variation. Regions already adversely affected include areas of permafrost, which are subject to high levels of subsidence, resulting in buckling roads, sunken foundations, and severely cracked runways. FLOOD DEFENCE: For historical reasons to do with trade, many of the world's largest and most prosperous cities are on the coast, and the cost of building better coastal defences (due to the rising sea level) is likely to be considerable. Some countries will be more affected than others — low-lying countries such as Bangladesh and the India would be worst hit by any sea level rise, in terms of floods or the cost of preventing them. Here is a fact to substantiate this point, with the melting of the part of Antartica water level of the ocean will rise and the first city to be submerged in the sea will be Calcutta. In developing countries, the poorest often live on flood plains, because it is the only available space, or fertile agricultural land. These settlements often lack infrastructure such as dykes and early warning systems. Poorer communities also tend to lack the insurance, savings or access to credit needed to recover from disasters. The combined effects of global warming may impact particularly harshly on people and countries without the resources to mitigate those effects. This may slow economic development and poverty reduction, and make it harder to achieve the Development Goals. ENVIRONMENTAL: Secondary evidence of global warming — reduced snow cover, rising sea levels, weather changes — provides examples of consequences of global warming that may influence not only human activities but also ecosystems. Increasing global temperature means that ecosystems may change; some species may be forced out of their habitats (possibly to extinction) because of changing conditions, while others may flourish. Few of the terrestrial ecoregions on Earth could expect to be unaffected. Increasing carbon dioxide may increase ecosystems' productivity to a point. Ecosystems' unpredictable interactions with other aspects of climate change makes the possible environmental impact of this is unclear, though. An increase in the total amount of biomass produced may not be necessarily positive: biodiversity can still decrease even though a relatively small number of species are flourishing. WATER SCARCITY: Positive ecstasy may contaminate groundwater, affecting drinking water and agriculture in coastal zones. Increased evaporation will reduce the effectiveness of reservoirs. Increased extreme weather means more water falls on hardened ground unable to absorb it, leading to flash floods instead of a replenishment of soil moisture or groundwater levels. In some areas, shrinking glaciers threaten the water supply. Higher temperatures will also increase the demand for water for the purposes of cooling and hydration. There has been on average a 25% decrease in annual rainfall over the past 30 years. In our part of the region 40% of the population is dependent on Himalayas as the source of water, global warming has endangered this composition. Moreover if we look at the economic side of this then the government will have spend a great amount of their money on securing water for the people of the country. LOSS TO INFRASTRUCTURE Floods, storms, cyclones etc. cause huge impact on infrastructure of the Country. If these natural calamities occur too often then a country like India will face a huge problem to maintain it's growth rate. There are various other effects which will be caused by global warming on the Indian economy directly or indirectly SOLUTION: Can India afford binding commitments, about stopping carbon emission completely? The answer is an emphatic `no.' What India can do in the interests of mitigating global warming and climate change and in the interests of its energy security is to manage its energy supply and demand based on economic pricing of energy, remove wasteful subsidies, reduce transmission and distribution losses, promote mass transit and freight movement by rail in preference to road, and promote energy conservation in buildings and energy efficiency in industry and agriculture. Vigorous promotion of renewable energy sources and nuclear energy —Adaptation to climate change is an equally worthwhile end to pursue and may make more sense than mitigation. India should do what it needs to do and not what others want it to do. Certain steps are being taken by government and the individuals of the country to reduce global warming in what ever way they can. Waking up to the reality of global warming, the agriculture ministry has launched affirmative steps to alleviate problems arising out of the phenomenon. The ministry is in the process of taking stock of the situation to incorporate the science of climate change in the policy perspective and implementation plans of the agriculture sector. Considering the importance of climate change in an agriculture-based economy like India, the ministry has commissioned Indian Council of Agricultural Research (ICAR) to assess the impact of global warming on the agriculture sector. Towards that effect, ICAR has launched a network project on 'Assessment of Impacts, Adaptation and Vulnerability of Indian Agriculture to Climate Change'. Giving the details of actions taken under the programme in the pre-rabi interface document, ICAR says, Here are some facts which will provide us with the information about the control of global warming. Alternative energy pathways could meet India's developing needs without further depleting fossil fuels. 'A combination of renewable energy and energy efficiency has the potential of supplying 60 percent of India's electricity with appropriate policy measures while reducing the carbon intensity of our energy to a quarter of the current carbon intensity levels,' The group suggested a renewable energy law, which can reduce dependence on coal from 67 percent to as low as 10 percent by the mid-century. They have also recommended that the farmers need to adopt crop diversification schemes, buildings in cities and elsewhere should be energy efficient and CFL bulbs should be used instead of the normal bulbs. 'If the common man is made to realise the adverse effects of global warming, through simple facts such as skyrocketing electricity bills in the next few years, then everyone will put their efforts together in putting an end to this problem,' Here is the list of things which can be done to control global warming o o o o o o Electricity efficient end use Higher mileage cars or cars running on renewable source of energy Passenger vehicle efficiency Other transport efficiency Renewable source of energy Carbon capturing sequestration We have every thing we need to control global warming. Each one of us is responsible for global warming. We have one earth and one chance to save it. Our ability to live is at stake, our country is at stake, our civilization is at risk. I believe it is a more moral issue than a economic or political one. It is our chance to rise above and secure the future. Avail the last chance before it becomes the lost chance.

cast iron sink installation help
I recently purchased the 4 ft Brockway sink by Kohler (see link below for picture)
My contractor is saying that he doesn't believe this sink can be installed in the bathroom due to it's weight. Can anyone give me some advice on how to install it safely? I already have the fittings in place for the plumbing and don't believe it can be returned anymore.
I contacted Kohler and they were only able to direct me to their spec sheet for installation of the hangers that come with the sink.
Does anyone have any further advice?
Here is a link that might be useful: Brockway sink
The chances that the holes in the mounting bracket are going to line up with your studs in such a way that it positions the sink exactly where you want it is pretty slim.
We had a much smaller wall-mounted cast iron sink in the house I am remodeling. Additional blocking was added between the studs at the appropriate level and supported with jack studs (not just nailed to the existing studs). Unless you are incredibly lucky, you'll probably have to open the wall up and add to the framing so that you have something solid to screw into in the exact location you need.

Comparing Swiss Chards
I decided to try a few different Swiss chards this year to see how they would do. Ill-man gave me some Seafoam chard to try. I also started a variety called French chard. Another friend gave me a couple of dozen seedlings of what she calls Perpetual chard. I have some young seedlings of Charlotte chard and Perpetual Spinach (beet chard) waiting to be planted.
This picture is of Seafoam chard and French chard. The Seafoam chard has a lighter color and has crinkled leaves.
This picture is one of my rows of Perpetual chard.
The Perpetual chard looks nearly the same as the French chard in the garden, but when you look at the plant the differences can be seen. The French chard has very white ribs while the other one is very pale green. The French chard's leaf is a little thicker. Taste seems to be similar.
You will have to look closely to see the seedlings. The left tray has the Charlotte chard. It has a lot of red coloring, similar to beets. The other tray has Perpetual spinach/Beet spinach. It doesn't have any red coloring. I will have to post pics of those later when they grow up.
Also, my new Organic Gardening magazine came in the mail today. On page 64-69 it features an article called "The Power of Greens". It has some nice pictures, nutritional and food prep info about the top four greens: "kale is king", "colorful chard", "top of the turnips", and "super spinach". Interesting reading. Check it out.
your french swiss chard (weird) is doing really well in my garden--better, maybe, than the seafoam, tho i really love the look of the seafoam. in the spring, when the snails come out, i've found that the savoy texture (crinkle) discourages the snails. the seafoam, when cooked, is indistinguishable from other chards. it darkens.
ftlmom, chard is everything that spinach is, only it tastes good.
christine--this is our house staple for chard. it is just fabulous, and if you're good at pastry (as my wife is), you can throw it together in a matter of minutes.
Here is a link that might be useful: chard pie
Very nice looking Chard varieties, and they are all good for you.
I am growing your variety Charlotte, Bright Lights and other one I prefer, an Italian green variety with beautiful white, tender stalks.
Good tip on the magazine, I will look it up.
ftlmom: Fordhook is my favorite chard. Have grown it for years in more northern states. I planted some from Burpee Seed company last year and it did fine until some leaf liking critters destroyed most of it. It grows rapidly but prefers to be far out of direct sunlight in the FL. summers.

Read Ebooks on Android with FBReaderJ
Productivity Sauce
When it comes to reading ebooks on your laptop or desktop machine, few ebook readers can rival FBReader. The same is true for the Android platform, too. The mobile version of FBReader called FBReaderJ offers pretty much all the essential features without sacrificing usability. Similar to FBReader, FBReaderJ supports several popular ebook formats, including EPUB and FictionBook.
Once installed on the Android device, FBReaderJ registers itself as an application for handling ebook files. This means that when you click on a link to an ebook in the built-in browser, you can use FBReaderJ to download the book and add it to the library. This provides a convenient way of grabbing ebooks from popular Web sites such as FeedBooks.com. Similar to the desktop application, FBReaderJ allows you to view books by tags, so you can easily keep tabs on your book collection. You can't, however, add tags to the books using FBReaderJ. Other nice touches include support for Table of Contents, the ability to add bookmarks, a search feature, and a night mode with reversed text and background colors. There are also a few options available in the Settings section that let you tweak the reader to your liking.
FBReaderJ is still at an early stage of development, and there are some features that are not yet implemented. This includes, for example, the Network Search feature which can be used to search for books in the online ebook repositories directly from within FBReaderJ. But even in its current form, FBReaderJ is a rather capable application. So if you are looking for a decent ebook reader for your Android device, FBReaderJ is definitely worth a closer look.
eBook speakerHi
I want to introduce MultiReader an Android speech application.

Contest entries from ABC, Center for Public Integrity highlight their division
On the same day that ABC News and The Center for Public Integrity won yet another national journalism award for exposing how coal miners were being unjustly denied black-lung benefits, the spat between the two venerable newsrooms heated up.

Aloha Kakou to everyone. I live in Hawai'i on the big island, south of small town Hilo in area called Kalapana. It is in the Puna district which is very beautiful. There is still lots of hawaiian culture, families and deep sense of Aloha spirit still happening here.
I am a friendly guy who gets along with most everyone. I am respectful of others and enjoy "talking story" hawaiian style which means just hanging out and sharing stories enjoying each others presence. I am lucky to get to live in Hawai'i which is amazing and has it's own challenges (like not so many jobs).
I am currently managing an Acupuncture College in Hilo that is fun, challenging, amazing, exhausting and engages all my accounting, sales, marketing, management, relationship and consciousness skills to da' max..which is exactly what I love.
I always invite folks to come visit to big island and love to show you arounds.
Mahalo (thank you) and A Hui Hou (see you),
Greg "Pu'uwai Aloha" Baker.

So you got a website video to help boost your marketing efforts. And are asking yourself how else can you use it to drive traffic and get the most out of it?
Virtual Media Group, a St. Louis based video production company has come up with 8 additional ways to use your marketing video:
1. Emails - Slide past those gatekeepers with ease, simply add a link to your email signature on all emails. This is a great passive way to create an opportunity to get your message in front of everyone you email throughout the year. Add an with an image linked to your video to your emails.

Boeing tests hydrogen propulsion system for high-altitude UAV
October 29, 2007
October 30, 2007 The Boeing Company has achieved a milestone in the development of its High Altitude Long Endurance (HALE) unmanned aircraft by successfully testing a hydrogen propulsion system in simulated conditions of 65,000 feet. The test, conducted over more than three days using a Ford Motor Company-developed hydrogen engine (a gasoline version of which can be found in the Ford Fusion and Escape Hybrid) is a further step towards the realization of a UAV designed to remain airborne for more than seven days and carry multi-sensor payloads of up to 2,000 pounds.
"This test demonstrates the technical readiness of the hydrogen engine system and confirms the capability breakthrough in flight endurance and altitude that could be realized by a variety of military and commercial customers," said Darryl Davis, vice president and general manager, Boeing Advanced Precision Engagement and Mobility Systems.
Because the the long endurance, propeller-driven autonomous aircraft will be able to maintain a continuous presence over a specific ground location from stratospheric altitudes, its potential applications include border observation, port security and telecommunications as well as battlefield intelligence and surveillance.
The turbocharged internal combustion engine achieved better than expected fuel economy while demonstrating complete airflow and torque control across the engine's operating range.
Boeing is collaborating with Aurora Flight Sciences and Ford to develop the HALE aircraft's propulsion system.

Thanks, GOG! I've been gaming since the early 80's so I have a large collection of old floppy games, old CD games and many, many "abandonware" games collected off the internet over the years. When I found your site, I was truly thankful! You've made it so easy and affordable to get many classics running on modern Windows. When I see one of my old favorites, it's a no-brainer to buy it instead of pulling out my old disks and hassling with trying to get things to run on my own. My GOG collection is just two shy of 150 games. Now to find the time to play them all!
GOG...I honestly prefer your websites more than others, because you bring the games that has sentimental values, it's like you know exactly what I want, it is very wonderful to (i want diablo1) browse your website everyday, and watch the games and their prices and the marketing you guys are doing is great, I loved the insomnia event so much I couldn't sleep for 48 hours, till my wife came and she got angry at me, but I really love your website so much.
Please consider bringing Diablo 1 (only) I would love it so much to see it on your website, thanks for the great work you are doing.
Good Job!!
GOG .... Thank you, thank you, thank you, for giving us The Dig !!
Yet another very favourite oldie now playable on modern computers.
You are AWESOME !!
This is a great place! Anxiously awaiting GOG Galaxy beta :)
My favorite place to buy games i love, i will support you forever. Yours truely.
easily thx, that you gyse do a great job
You guys are the last hope for DRM-free games and the good old games! Keep up the good work!
Ron Paul and everything ANY intelligent, morally sound critically thinking human being would be PROUD of your company for politely enforcing DRM-FREE only purchases on gog.com. Why? Simple, you are ENCOURAGING the free market, not some CONTROLLING nature that the big money corporations feel is necessary and couldn't be more wrong for the survival of yet another piece of worldwide economics.
You are an asset to the natural and LONG overdue evolution of a fire deep inside us all. Does it hurt? You know, when you're balls are dragging the ground ? :P \m/ Because you have and continue to rock, I salute you.
Thank you guys =)
I love you guys, always making me go back memory lane to the really good old days of my youth.
I just wanna say how much i love you GOG team and this community. You're all awesome!!
Thanks for bringing back all the old classics and showing us how to run them on modern computers.
Ihr seid echt genial weiter so. Fettes Danke aus Deutschland :D
ATTN: WARNING multi-paragraph post ahead , approach with extreme caution!...
You have been warned!....
I thank you guys & gals for your continued support for not only us, as the customer/gamer, but also the game devs by providing a "forum" In this community as well, not to mention the entirety of Europe(East and West)/Asia/Oceania, oh yeah, the Americas and their territories as well! ;^)
And as for the grumblings on the state of GOG having newer titles as well as old games, is simply that....Grumblings....
Pay no heed and keep doing what you are doing because most grumblers do not take in consideration the monumental impossibilities involved in resurrecting long dead games and their devs, not to mention most of the legal troubles with their publishers and their companies that are both long gone and/or been devoured by (the antithesis of what you stand for) EA, not to mention the number of these dos titles are pretty finite as well...
Further, trying to support an online retailer via rare-hard-to-get titles is not very feasible when most people already OWN most of these title via abandon-ware anyways, (I know I do) so it simple makes sense to offer early 90's/mid 2K title along with newer indie titles, otherwise there would be no more gog, and no more witcher3, and yet another struggling dev-house that would go the same route as Ironlore and their like!
The fact is, the ultimate goal of every artist/musician, Director (Movie and art) writer, and game dev is to be able to have 100% control over their creation, and you cannot have that and make a living without money...
CDRed is unique because it has the power to dictate WHERE when and how it's creation is marketed, which is not so incredible in itself for a large company like Bethesda/UBISoft/Blizzard, whose been around since the late 80s/early 90s...
But for a small unheard of eastern European game company in under ten years?....An Outstanding achievement indeed!
I for one am very grateful for the alternative to steam's DDRM (Draconian DRM) as I've been without internet access and could not purchase a single game, yet have no problem purchasing games-a-plenty with GOG via coffee shops/public library....
Seems pretty ufckin idiotic negating thousands of customers from buying your product by locking out access to said product if you ask me!
Again, thanks for everything you're doing!
Thanks to you all for:
1. making these games really accessible, and
2. providing a place where we've been able to keep a positive community going.
I never think that i can run Ultima and Wing Commander on my PC again! The memories rests 20 years before come alive, thank you guys! Great job!
Thanks, from a Linux gamer!
Yes, please keep up the good work. You're my first stop when I shop and I would prefer it if all the games I acquire an interest in would be available on GOG. Long live GOG!
I have never find a better place in the web for satisfy my need for Good Old Games. I truly appreciate your work, and your will to maintain all that wonderful stuff free from DRM and similar bad things. Thank you for all you have done, and best wishes for all the good stuff that you will bring us in the future.
Kudos to all of your fantastic work GOG team! Loving the current sale, I've picked up several new games! Please try and get us Vampire, Bloodlines if you can! Thanks!
Thank you so much for all these games. Reliving the Good Old Days.
gute arbeit leute. macht weiter so
GOG is the light in the dark DRM!!
You guys are Epic!
Keep on the good work ;)!
I love the site and love what you all do! Thank you for a DRM Free alternative to Steam and others. I come here first for my gaming experience. You all rock!
thanks for the witcher and outcast 1.1 !! Please Freelancer !!!!
Freelancer next !
Thank thank thank you ! :)))
Love site but plz
freelancer and freelancer 2 !!!!!!!!
Hey, thanks for System Shock 2. Never got a chance to play it when it was first released, even though I LOVED SS1. I finally beat it last week. :)
If you guys would do Star Trek: TNG- A Final Unity I would love you even more than I love you now. And that's a lot.
Anywho, keep up the good work!
GOG is absolutely the best. There is really no need to spend a bunch of money on expensive disappointments (like a 12-year wait for Diablo 3 - to hades with THAT - try Torchlight 1&2, instead). There is literally a lifetime of inexpensive CLASSIC and extremely re-playable games found here. For example, during a sale, I got "Age of Wonders" for $5.99 and "Age of Empires" for $1.79!! Absolutely insane - and with NO DRM. I'll be waiting for "Age of Mythology" and the Titans, as well. Maybe even the "Command and Conquer" and "Starcraft" series, at some future point in time. Kudos to this site. I now live in the Philippines with no reliable full-time Internet - so Steam is not an option (plus, it can get expensive). Thanks, guys! You've done your part in making my life just that much more enjoyable.
You are the best in all of the wides of the www. k thanks to your great great works, I really appreciate it a 100%. Your work rocks. Cant wait to see more of those wonderful games to come to greatest sites of all GoG.com, and i mean it. I give you the full a 100% support. Also, the ON SALEs, you do have almost every weekend are such huge successes, like all your works. Well done, keep your dream alive, since its also my dream. Thanks again for that marvelous things you do, still in 2015. Because of GoG.com, gaming is even more better, than when I did grew up, since I had to let my CDs in, to play those great games, now, I dont need em anymore, because of you, and the best, the games also run on modern systems. :)
Just when I thought you had stopped drowining me in nostalgia, you had to make a deal with Lucas Arts and bury me even further into epic gaming memories! You people are just the best, hands down!
Thank you for bringing back memories!
thank you for making such a great service keep it up and thank you for bring back the games from my child hood. Thank you GOG and your team for keeping gaming alive and for all the hard work you are doing
. . . <- those marks were made by my nose in the dirt as I humbly bowed to your greatness for bringing us DRM-free games from our past, present and future!
All hail GOG, saviour of games distribution!
Great offers, great website, good old games. Thank you!
Thanks for all the hard work. And add Heretic II plz.
Long may GOG continue, an island refuge in a sea of BS spouting companies out to make a quick buck off consumers. With excellent customer service to boot.
Thank you for all your hard work! Keep it up!
Dear GOG Team, continue your great work, it is very much appreciated! Thank You for saving old gems that i thought were forever gone.
This is dedicated to every single staff member of gog team.
Breathing new life into games is truly a miracle. And makes me and many others around the world smile.
Love you.
Thanks for selling me a broken game that crashes to desktop 100% of the time. Love you!.
Grazie ragazzi. Ottimo lavoro !
I love you, GOG!!!!!
New terms of use / user agreement / privacy policy? No problem here on gog. You tell me that you do it, you tell me why you do it and finally you even explain the legal stuff in short easy sentences (ok I read through most of the left side, but anyway). Appreciate that, thank you.
I love you guys, you are setting the standard and I always choose to buy from you when I can manage it.
All of the games that pretty much defined my youth, at good prices. You guys rock!
You guys know exactly how to run a good player based service, allowing us access to the games we love without restricting when and where we can play. Fair play to you!
That you've managed to become a place where I can legally buy and have readily available a storehouse of games from my youth without DRM and at fair prices is a blessing. Thank you all at GoG very much for all the hard work you've put forth!
