As Hamas Recklessly Launches Rockets Into Israel, How Does Israel Respond?
Melanie Phillips points out just how super duper mean Israel has been so far
Here is some information about the war between Gaza and Israel that for some unaccountable reason you may have missed today in Britain's mainstream media.
The casualty rate in Gaza from Israeli strikes is astoundingly low
Since the beginning of Israel's operation Pillar of Defence last Wednesday against Hamas rocket attacks, there have been more than 1000 Israeli air strikes. At time of writing, the Palestinian death toll is 69. That is a staggeringly small number of fatalities for more than 1000 bombing raids.
It shows beyond doubt that the Israelis are not only doing everything they can to avoid civilian casualties, but have achieved a degree of precision in doing so which no other army can match. For sure, every civilian casualty is regrettable, and the deaths of children are always tragic — today's apparently heavy toll particularly so, including at what appears to have been a mistaken target. Such mistakes inevitably happen in war.
Consider that most of those deaths can be laid on Hamas' doorstep, as they surround themselves and their weapons with human shields, yet, that is a low body count. All Israel wants is for these "Palestinian" terrorists, backed by Syria and Iran, among others, to stop targeting Israel. Hamas, for its part, is intentionally targeting civilian areas, yet, the media, and liberal, outcry is barely noticeable.
We also learn that the breathless reports by many media outlets about Israel having killed a child in Gaza was a load of mule fritters, typical Islamist fake propaganda. We look towards the Sunday Telegraph
But there were signs on Saturday that not all the Palestinian casualties have been the result of Israeli air strikes. The highly publicised death of four-year-old Mohammed Sadallah appeared to have been the result of a misfiring home-made rocket, not a bomb dropped by Israel.
Hamas to blame.
The child's death on Friday figured prominently in media coverage after Hisham Kandil, the Egyptian prime minister, was filmed lifting his dead body out of an ambulance. "The boy, the martyr, whose blood is still on my hands and clothes, is something that we cannot keep silent about," he said, before promising to defend the Palestinian people.
That's strange, it's almost like the Egyptian PM has gone Islamist, talking about martyrs. Who would have thought Egypt would end up with extremists in government?
But, we all know that Liberals around the world will take the side of the Islamic extremists in Gaza. Why? They hate Israel. Doesn't matter that the Islamic extremists stand against everything that Liberals do….well, they do both want fascist government and shut down opposing viewpoints, but, otherwise, disagree on every social issue…..and Israel is closer on social issues: liberals loathe Israel, and would like to see the country wiped off the map.

A successful fat transfer surgery (Brazilian Lift) results in a new, fuller and shapelier buttock that will last the rest of your life.
A successful fat transfer surgery (Brazilian Lift) results in a new, fuller and shapelier buttock that will last the rest of your life.
This post explains what makes someone a good candidate for a Brazilian Butt Lift rather than other kinds of butt lift and augmentation surgery.
If your nose is too large for your face, misshapen, with a bulbous or drooping tip, or has some other problem you can't help but notice, perhaps receiving a rhinoplasty or nose-fixing surgery would be something to consider.
Some people have perfect behinds; they were just born that way. However, others have butts that were never full and rounded or ones that have sagged or drooped over time. The good news is that there is a procedure that can enhance and lift any buttocks
More and more teenagers are seeking rhinoplasty procedures. Here's why and what you need to know before moving forward.
Your nose is one of the most obvious features on your face. If your nose is too big, asymmetrical or misshapen due to heredity, aging, accident or injury, people will notice. And the big problem is that you will notice too.
If you are concerned about the size or shape of your breasts talk to a plastic surgeon, he or she can help you have more beautiful and shapelier breasts..
Patients, who want to enhance the shape and size of their buttocks, and have deposits of excess fat and who are healthy enough for surgery, are the perfect candidates for this type of butt lift and augmentation.
Rhinoplasty not only corrects any defects or cosmetic problems with the nose, it changes the entire look of your face, and with it, the way you look to the world,
Butt Augmentation is also known as "gluteoplasty", a word made up from the Greek meaning to "shape the buttocks". This cosmetic procedure is performed to enhance the butt by removing deformities or defects and improving the fullness and contours of that region of your body.

Quickly Encrypt and Decrypt Files with GPG
Productivity Sauce
Need to quickly encrypt a file or an archive? You can do this using the GPG encryption software which is installed by default on many mainstream Linux distributions. To be able to encrypt files with GPG, you have to generate a key pair. To do this, run the following command and follow the on-screen instructions:
gpg --gen-key
When generating the key pair, GPG creates a user ID (UID) to identify your key based on your real name, comments, and email address. You need this UID (or just a part of it like your first name or email address) to specify the key you want to use to encrypt a file:
gpg -e -r part_of_UID file_to_encrypt
For example, if I want to encrypt the TidlyWiki.odt document using my own key, the encrypt command would be as follows:
gpg -e -r Dmitri TiddlyWiki.odt
This command creates an encrypted version of the specified document, and you can recognize it by the .gpg file extension. In this case, the command creates the TiddlyWiki.odt.gpg file. Decrypting an encrypted file is equally easy, and the command that does this looks like this:
gpg -d -o decrypted_file encrypted_file.gpg
For example, to decrypt the TiddlyWiki.odt.gpg, I'd use the following command:
gpg -d -o TiddlyWiki.odt TiddlyWiki.odt.gpg
That's all there is to it. By the way, you can use the gpg --list-keys command to view a list of all the keys on your system. This can come in handy if you don't remember the UID of the key you want to use.comments powered by Disqus

Fastest Growing U.S. City Is A Retirement Community
By editor
Originally published on Mon March 31, 2014 8:24 am
Good morning, I'm Linda Wertheimer.
The fastest-growing city in the country is not what you'd expect, not a trendy tech hub, not an edgy edge city. It's The Villages, in Central Florida. Nobody under 55 can live there. Aging boomers have made The Villages the biggest retirement community in the world - specializing in microbrew, golf courses and November-December romance; also, the world's longest golf cart parade.

Harbaugh won't let Ravens coast into playoffs
OWINGS MILLS, Md. (AP)
Now that they've finally wrapped up another AFC North crown, the Baltimore Ravens intend to get healthy, close out the regular season with a win and take some momentum into the playoffs.
Baltimore (10-5) snapped a three-game skid and clinched its second straight division title Sunday with a 33-14 rout of the defending Super Bowl champion New York Giants. No matter what happens in this Sunday's finale against Cincinnati, the Ravens will host a first-round playoff game on Jan. 5 or 6.
But coach John Harbaugh won't let Baltimore coast into the postseason. After watching Baltimore click in all phases against the Giants, he's looking for an encore against the Bengals.
''That's how you improve, that's how you get you better,'' Harbaugh said Monday. ''Momentum, sure it's a good word. What does that mean exactly? It means that we're improving. The idea is we have plenty of things to work on, and we've got to continue to improve to be the best we can in the playoffs. This week is an opportunity to do that.''
If Baltimore wins and New England loses to Miami, the Ravens get a No. 3 seed and open the postseason against Cincinnati. Harbaugh said he knows all the possibilities - and doesn't really care.
''We kind of understand what has to happen all across the board as far as where that could shake out on Sunday,'' he said. ''But there's no way to say for sure what's going to happen, so we'll just have to see how it plays out.''
If the game is blowout, Harbaugh will consider removing some of his starters. But he's not counting on that happening.
''The biggest thing is that you can't play this game at half speed. Our guys are going to play the game full speed to win,'' he said.
The Ravens are 4-3 on the road, so this could serve as a tuneup for potential games at New England, Denver or Houston.
''It's a plus for us, an opportunity to go play on the road like this in a real tough environment,'' Harbaugh said. ''It's a rivalry game, it's in the division. These two teams play it out pretty good every single time. So yeah, it'll help us build up our callouses a little bit for the playoffs.''
Prior to Sunday's win over New York, the Ravens appeared to be regressing after a 9-2 start. Their losing streak began with three-point losses to both Pittsburgh and Washington and ended with a 34-17 embarrassment at home against Denver.
Against the Giants, however, the Ravens scored touchdowns on their first two possessions, led by 17 at halftime and never let New York back into it.
''We've been practicing really well throughout the course of the last four weeks,'' Harbaugh said. ''At some point in time it's going to show itself on the field on game day. It was our best overall performance, I think. It was the best we've done at putting all three phases together and playing well. We blocked, we tackled, our playmakers made plays. We didn't turn the ball over. We didn't do the things that cost us and hurt us like we did in the other three games.''
Quarterback Joe Flacco, who had six turnovers during the losing streak, threw for 309 yards and didn't give the ball away once. If he and the Ravens play like that in the postseason, Baltimore will be dangerous.
''I said last week we're going to see what kind of team we are. We believe we're this kind of team,'' Flacco said after the Ravens' dominating performance. ''We're really going to see if we are. I think that we showed ourselves and we showed people that we are that kind of team. We're here to stay, and we just have to do all we can to get better, to play like this, and even get better than this throughout the remaining weeks.''
One reason for the Ravens to give their all this Sunday is that it's another chance for the offense to get in sync with coordinator Jim Caldwell, who replaced the fired Cam Cameron two weeks ago. The Baltimore attack sputtered against Denver in its first foray under Caldwell, then racked up 533 yards against New York.
''That's the way we can play,'' said wide receiver Torrey Smith, who returned from a concussion.
Baltimore won't have linebacker Ray Lewis (torn triceps) against the Bengals because Harbaugh wants to give the 17-year veteran more time to recover from an injury that has kept him sidelined since Oct. 14.
But the Ravens hope to have back safety Bernard Pollard, who's missed two straight weeks with a chest injury, and receiver Anquan Boldin, who left with a bruised shoulder in the second half against New York.

this is a cute couple. By cons I left their apartment the last 2 days and have to leave the keys on the table when they leave. I found the open fridge and ice has formed inside. they also left the television working, and chaufage thoroughly on high level. I also found all full of the sticky stuff but also the kitchen table, as if alcohol was spilling everywhere. I'm a little disappointed with their behavior because I was cool with them and I gave them all my apartment while I went to Spain. and they forgot that I was living in there! back after a weekend in Spain and find his dirty apartment that is not cool.
Sorry, but the only truth to this review is that we did accidentally leave the freezer door which is inside the refrigerator open. As for the rest of what you found, we cleaned up everything the night before we even cleaned dishes you left behind before you left to Spain. We made sure everything was where it was supposed to be and no we did not spill alcohol. the only time we drank anything was right before you left and you had tried some too. Sorry Mira you are cool and the place was great but i will not be reviewed badly for things we didn't do.
perfect and nice guest... come when you want... you are welcome to my place...

|Reference no.
The Virginia and Truckee 18 Dayton is a historic standard gauge steam locomotive. The Dayton is on display in Virginia City, Nevada. It spent its working life on the Virginia and Truckee Railroad.
The locomotive was placed on the National Register of Historic Places, along with the Inyo, because of their association with the Virginia and Truckee Railroad and transportation development in Nevada
The Dayton, a 4-4-0 "American", was built in 1873 by the Central Pacific Railroad, in Sacramento, California, and was based on the design of the CP's 173 engine.[2] The locomotive weighs 78,000 pounds (35,000 kg),[3] has 60 inches (150 cm) driving wheels,[2][3] and carried 2,500 US gallons (9,500 l; 2,100 imp gal) of water and 3 cords of wood. A large snow plow was fixed to the front of the locomotive in 1879, and it performed snow clearing duties on the Virginia & Truckee lines during the winters for most of its operational life, in addition to its normal passenger hauling duties.[2]
In 1906 the locomotive had the honor of opening the branch line between Carson City, Nevada and Minden, Nevada, but after that it was used less frequently. In 1908 it was converted to burn oil rather than wood. In 1937, the locomotive, minus the plow, was sold for $1,000[2] together with No. 22 Inyo to Paramount Pictures who then had the locomotive overhauled at the Southern Pacific Railroad shops at Sparks, Nevada. Paramount had the locomotive repainted and renumbered for use in motion pictures.[4]
The Dayton film history[edit]
The Dayton appeared in several movies, beginning with Union Pacific. It traveled to New York City in 1939 to promote this film. Other movies featuring the Dayton include Young Tom Edison,[2] The Harvey Girls and Duel in the Sun.
In 1937 the locomotive was sold to Paramount Pictures. In 1969 the locomotive participated in ceremonies for the centennial of the Golden Spike. Dayton was modified to represent Union Pacific's No. 119. It remained at the Golden Spike National Historic Site throughout most of the 1970s, along with the V&T's Inyo, which was modified to represent the Central Pacific's Jupiter. In 1974, both locomotives were sold to the State of Nevada, but remained in Utah while brand-new replicas of the Golden Spike locomotives were under construction.[5] Both Inyo and Dayton finally arrived at the Nevada State Railroad Museum in Carson City in late 1978.
Once at the museum, the Inyo and Dayton were evaluated for possible restoration to operating condition. The boiler of the latter was found to be in poor condition and would require replacing for the engine to operate. Since the Dayton's boiler was original, it was decided to instead give the engine a cosmetic restoration. Dayton made its debut at the museum on Memorial Day weekend, 1982.[6]
In 2005, the Dayton was moved to the Comstock History Center in Virginia City, Nevada, where it is on static display.[7]

Could I still start some Earthtainer tomatoes?
clayandrocksandnosun(3-4)June 18, 2012
In earthtainers? I could buy a couple good sized (12") transplant, or use up some little ones I have left over: (six inch)
Probably this weekend (Zone 5) Ottawa.
Just a thought....
rnewste(8b NorCal)
If you have a South facing exposure, and can shield the EarthTainers from the North winds, then you will have plenty of time left into the Fall. I get an average of 4 weeks longer in the Fall, as compared to my previous plants in-ground. Make sure you get the low DTM varieties for this time of year planting.

(India)–An evangelism project that has seen great success for the past 50 years in Latin America has recently been introduced to India. Latin America Mission's Ken MacHarg reports. ""Evangelism-in-Depth" was begun by the Latin America Mission using door-to-door evangelism, medical caravans and other methods that involve the entire community over a long period of time. Now, these biblical principles are being used in India. Following its introduction last year, one pastor reported a 50% increase in attendance as church members have begun sharing their faith with family and friends. Many in India report success with "Evangelism-In-Depth" through women evangelists. Male evangelists are often persecuted in Indian villages, but the society respects women and will not openly hassle them. Also, women have more openings to Indian homes as men usually go out to work while women stay home during the day. For Mission Network News, I'm Ken MacHarg."

F2FS Gains Features, Performance On 3.12
Published on 05 September 2013 11:56 AM EDT

Linux Kernel
3 Comments
Samsung has queued up a rather good round of improvements for their
(Flash-Friendly File-System) for introduction in the
Linux 3.12 kernel
Making the F2FS file-system updates interesting for this next Linux kernel release are new features and performance improvements. Enhancements/features for F2FS in the 3.12 kernel include inline xattrs, sysfs support to control GCs explicitly, and a proc entry to show the current segment usage information. The performance work comes down to improvements in worst case scenarios for GC/SSR. Aside from this work, there's also F2FS bug-fixes.
More details on these updates to the Linux Flash Friendly File-System can be found via the
mailing list pull request
by Samsung's Jaegeuk Kim.

First Satsumas of the Season
Thought I'd share a photo of my first Okitsu Wase satsumas. As with all satsumas, this cultivar is very prolific. This is a small tree, about 2 to 2 1/2' tall, just planted this spring. I had two fruit on it when I bought it, so I left them on. It is growing vigorously, and has set another 13-20 fruits in varying sizes, that will probably be ready ealier in it's normal season, which is October through December. Wase means "early" in Japanese, and this is one of the better early satsuma cultivars that are very popular in Japan. I think because there were only two fruits, they ended up being bigger than normal. Much bigger. The size of a large orange. The skin is a bit greenish, but I attribute this to not having a lot of cool summer nights this year. I'm seeing this in all my citrus, although things are now starting to color up nicely for my later citrus. I snapped the pic with some other citrus for size comparisons, a Rio Red grapefruit, a Chandler pummelo (which is not overly large as Chandlers go), and a Wonderful pomegranate. I will commence the eating with lunch today! Yum, just love winter, it means citrus are ripening, yea!

Here is a link that might be useful: UC Citrus Variety Collection: Okitsu Wase Satsuma
My Miho didn't have any fruit this year, so hopefully next. I know it takes a few years for Satsumas to really reach their prime, so not holding my breath on these, but sure fun to see the pretty new fruit.
Patty S.
No, one of my neighbors. Mine are as big as volleyballs this year :-) I think they'll be more normally sized next year, since I'll probably leave more fruit on. Because I thinned the tree due to being so young, I think I made the remaining fruit bigger.
Patty S.
Thinning most certainly makes them larger. For my Antigua garden Meyers, which are for show lemons, demo lemons, marketing, etc., I thin them constantly and the result is average size of half a pound. BTW, on Saturday I picked 200 show lemons from my two trees there; they weighed 110 lbs and that is definitely overripe (read dark yellow and less juice).
That makes 600 lemons I have harvested from those two trees this year and they have another 200 left on the tree for the February show in Berlin.
Today I delivered 600 lemons to my exporter for air shipment for European broker samples; and 100 manufacturing grade lemons to the biggest ice cream maker in Central America for trials.
You might be able to find the Okitsu Wase mandarin in Texas because it is also very early like the Miho. I think next year it will not be so big and puffy, nor will it have such a pronounce neck, either. I plan on a snack this afternoon, so I'll report back on flavor.
Patty S.
Well, YUM is right!
Fantastic Patty. I am very impressed with your hard work and the colors of the fruit! Oh, if only I could visit for a fruit or two:-0)
I hope you are well and thank you for sharing these wonderful fruit withm us!
Well, if you're ever out to the west coast, Mike, you know I've got a nice guest room set up that overlooks the front slope where most of my citrus are planted :-) I'm just tickled to even get fruit at all this season. Satsumas remind me of Christmas as a kid. I always got one in my stocking, in the toe. Best part of my Christmas stocking!
Patty S.
Nice fruit. I thought that Kishu was the earliest mandarin. Mine are close but not ready yet, maybe a week or two off. Four winds has Kishu listed as earlier than Oware. Looks like the Miho & Okitsu Wase Satsumas have them both beat. Let us know how the Okitsu Wase taste and if they are seedless.
Okitsu, Miho, Seto and Kishu all ripen at about the same time, starting in October, mrclint. Owari is a little later, about December. I don't have any Kishu this year (brand new tree), so I can't comment on my little orchard, but I'll watch to see how Kishu comes in, compared to both my Okitsu and my Miho next season. The Okitsu Wase mandarins were very good. I think they would have been better two weeks ago, and suspect I left them on too long, and was fooled by the greenish cast. They were very sweet, probably a little sub-acid, and fairly juicy, probably would have been a little more balanced and juicy two weeks ago. But still very delicious, I was very happy with the taste. We're so used to citrus coloring up here in California, but we had a very long and warm summer and fall, including very warm evenings, so we had a much more tropical set up this year. I see this in several of my trees, which are coloring up later, now that we're having cooler nights. And, I only got one plump seed from the two large mandarins, so yes, nearly seedless.
Patty S.
Yup, very, very weird coloration this year for me. My Cara Cara navels, which should not be coloring up for a while, yet, are already turning yellow to orange. They won't be ready at the earliest this January, but really more like February to March. Very odd. Think I'll pick one of my Chandler pummelos tomorrow. Yumm!!
Patty S.
Not really, mrclint. Satsumas (in fact, most mandarins) that sit too long tend to get puffy, dry and sub-acid. There are some exceptions: Seedless Kishu,does sit well on the tree and Gold Nugget mandarins are exceptionally long lasting on the tree. Meyer lemons and Moro Blood oranges will develop an off-flavor if left on the tree too long as well. In general, most citrus should not be left on the tree overly long. They can become sub-acid, dried out or off-tasting. A small number of citrus cultivars can, and hence are very attractive cultivars for our dooryard situation :-)
Patty S.
The problem is quantifying just how long is too long. We are talking art versus science. :)
Yes, as in all things your mileage and tastes may vary. Citrus may not hold well for every local, every variety, or for everyone's conditions. I can only tell you from personal experience that the following citrus will hold well and often improve if left to sit longer on the tree:
Washington Navel
Meyer Lemon
Valencia Orange
Lane Late Navel
Kishu Mandarin
Oro Blanco Grapefruit
I would recommend that folks experiment a little and not just harvest all their citrus at one time. Don't be afraid to allow a few to shrivel a bit as well.
And here is what I (and commercial growers) have found:
Washington Navel can become sub-acid and dry
Meyer can become off-tasting (piney tasting. I don't mind it, for others it's a real turn-off)
Valencia can last forever on a tree. Amazingly long. I am still picking off Valencias from the abandoned orchard behind me
Lane Late, same as Washington Navel, but not quite as bad
Kishu will stay on a long time and be just as good as ever
Oroblanco (and Melogold) will also stay on well, might dry out a bit
Rio Red, stays on forever, and will sweeten up, especially if you get a heat spell, which we often due about the time it's ready to be picked, so I leave mine on longer
I would say this is more science than art, but your results will vary depending on where you live, and how you grow your citrus. Many variables come into play with ripening times and brix. So, perhaps more an "art" of applying science to your orchard :-) But there really are some citrus you just shouldn't leave on the tree too long, or you'll miss their best time. That just happened with my two Okitsu Wase satsumas due to me being fooled by their color. If I had picked them two weeks ago, they would have been better.
Patty S.
Are you sure it is science over art? What then is the science that you and commercial growers are using? Are you taking a brix reading and then harvesting all the fruit when it reaches your desired sugar level? What is sub-acid and how do you quantify it scientifically -- with a pH reading?
I can tell you with Meyers in a commercial environment, it is often as much about the buyer as about the fruit. The fruits we sent to Europe this week were harvested between 1 and 15 November, an ideal time for quality, shipping, arriving for the Christmas season, etc. We have picked some 15 October, mostly for tests; and they are excellent, especially a cupla weeks after harvest.
Last year, because we had committed to send lemons to Berlin for the big show in February, we left a cupla hundred on the tree until the first of February; they became deep orange, lost a little juice and weight, but were widely acclaimed by the buyers/consumers at the show; when the Meyer gets to that stage, it can be easily peeled, like an orange, and many at the show were walking around sucking on the peels.
BTW, that is the stage of harvest that gives rise to the myth that the Meyer peel is too delicate and will not last long off the tree. True enough; but if you are shipping by air it lasts long enough.
Commercial growers will regulate water, fertilizer, planting spacing, etc. in order to time ripeness determined by brix as well as solids ratio, for their particular cultivars, mrclint. Commercial growers actually have legal solids ratios and brix to state when things are "legally ripe". There is "science" to that :-) But, of course we are always at the mercy of Mother Nature, who can throw all our scientific plannings into disarray :-) It's never just a seat of the pants proposition, but science tempered by trial and error. I wouldn't necessarily say one over the other, but I would say a good scientific foundation, and then a lot of trial and error based on where you live. I remember when I was getting started, and I asked one of my commercial growers how they determined the watering of their citrus groves, considering water out our way commands the same price as gold. I was prepared for some very complicated, scientific explanation and formula. The fellow told me, "Well I just kind of keep my eye out across the orchard. If the leaves start to cup, I water." I was so surprised at that, as watering (too much or too little at the right/wrong times) can significantly affect fruit quality as well as splitting in some varieties. I think this was a perfect example of this grower's many years of trial and error, and just having the sense his grove needed to be watered.
For us hobbyist growers, it really helps to understand the science, then we apply that science to our growing conditions, and through trial and error, come up with what works best for each of us, in our specific areas, and then try to make our best guestimates every season, based on what is going on with precipitation, watering, heat units, fertilization rates, disease pressure, etc.
Patty S.
Regarding that commercial grower, who just sorta keeps his eye on the orchard, a state of the art grower today would have a drip system with maybe 7 or 8 emitters per tree, tensiometers in the field to determine soil moisture and a computerized irrigation control to water scientifically at the exact best moment. True story... I once talked to the production manager of Newhall Farms in California, who at the time was farming 400,000 acres. He told me that in the Spring, when the grape buds begin to swell, we send samples to the lab; and at that moment we make ALL our marketing decisions for the year, i.e., number of boxes to buy, size of the crop to commit/market, etc.; because AT THAT MOMENT, nature is done and technology takes over.
There is a rather large window for when you can harvest the citrus I have listed. Most of the citrus that I have bought over the years seems to have been picked too soon. The science I am looking for is how to quantify just how long is too long to let fruit hold on the tree. Thanks!
I have spent years doing countless trials to learn that about Meyers. Doubtless there are many others doing the same for other varieties.
There really is no definitive answer; it depends in large part on the variety, but more importantly on the consumer and the individual taste of that consumer. For example, are you going to consume the fruit on the day you harvest it? Does the juiciness of the fruit matter to you, or the acidity, or the color... the real "answer" is... "it depends"
This was a smaller grower, but I'm sure he had all the equipment in ground for soil moisture determination, he just used his many years of growing experience to know when his orchard needed to be watered, and probably verified it with his tensiometers. This is a 3rd generation orchard. But, you're so correct, John. It's not an art so much as good agricultural science. And experience.
BTW, I'm so excited for you and your first crop. I can't wait to see how things go, so please keep your thread updated!
Patty S.
"There really is no definitive answer"
That's pretty much what I thought. Thanks Johnmerr!
Patty and I will have to agree to disagree on art versus science. Searching on the phrase legally ripe citrus was not very helpful. :)
Well, I think John actually made my point, mrclint :-) I never said anything was definitive, but as John has pointed out very clearly, it is science that drives how commercial groves are run and maintained. We could learn a thing or two about commercial productions like John's. And, you can ask John about the "legal ripeness" definition. It has to do with brix and when citrus may be picked. Not something we need to worry about as backyard hobbyists, but very important for commercial growers, and it tells the grower when they may pick their crops and bring them to market.
Frankly, think we're splitting hairs. I think we can all agree that agricultural science has helped all of us to be able to grow better citrus, whether that's in our backyards or in large commercial production. The rest is up to our good common sense, experience and trial and error.
Patty S.
Sorry if my questions appear confrontational or bothersome, but I asked at least 3x for the science that quantifies when citrus has been left on the tree too long. I enjoy your posts Patty, and respect your opinions -- even if we may disagree on allowing citrus to hold. :)
Rather than ask again, here's a document that details the holding capabilities of many popular citrus. Note that I have let Washington Navel hold until June, Meyer Lemons hold into summer, and Valencias for 18+ months without piney or other off flavors.
You mentioned sub-acid flavors, I'm not sure that I've encountered this - or if it would actually be a negative thing if I did. Sub-acid in stone fruit is a positive as it allows me to eat peaches such as Babcock at an earlier, crunchy stage. I like sub-acid fruits a lot.
mrclint, if you look back at my many posts on this list, I reference this document frequently. I guess I didn't realize you needed an actual hard reference, and were questioning my understanding of citrus. I don't always reference myself, as I've done it so much on this forum (just search my past posts, you'll see many, many linked references, I'm not just making this stuff up as I go along.) This is one of many resources I have used in the past on this forum. Another great resource is the UC Riverside Citrus Variety Collection web site, which details about 2,000 or more citrus varieties (from which this document was partially based, and from the same professors, Peggy Mauk and Tom Shea, both of whom I have met and taken classes from). Another great resource is the Citrus Pages site managed by Jorma Koskinen, http://users.kymp.net/citruspages/home.html . As well as many resources from University of Florida, U of AZ, and Texas A&M. I also have about 4 or 5 scholarly reference books I also tend to go to, as well as the "Citrus Industry" volumes. Lots of good references out there, and this is known information. Sorry I didn't provide you with hard references, but as you can see by the reference you provided, what I'm telling you about satsumas not holding well on the tree and becoming sub-acid (or insipid) is the case:
"Satsuma Mandarin
Satsuma mandarins produce easy-to-peel and seedless fruit. The varieties, Dobashi beni, Okitsu wase and Owari all thrive in cooler parts of Southern California. Satsuma is sensitive to high temperature and thus there are no Satsuma varieties suitable to plant in the lower desert valleys. Satsumas are the most cold hardy citrus trees of commercial importance. They are also the earliest fruit to ripen. Fruit from both Dobashi beni and Okitsu wase mature at the end of October. Owari ripens a month later. If fruit are left on the tree they rapidly becomes puffy and insipid, however, fruit store well off of the tree. Some Owari strains have degenerated into poor trees due to its ability to sport readily producing new strains that are not productive. Most Satsuma varieties tend to alternate bear (see Q. 10)."
Acid drop off is well known in many citrus. Some are more prone to becoming sub-acide than others. And, I guess whether or not you find it unappealing, willdepends on how you like your citrus. Commercially, it is not optimal. It can make some citrus start to taste flat, uninteresting and bordering on insipid. For most people, there tends to be a line that goes from being sweet and interesting, to sweet and boring. Or even insipid. Each citrus has a different line to cross, depending on that cultivar's natural acid to sugar ratio. Some are sweeter at full ripeness, like the Cara Cara for example, and some are more sprightly, like the Tarocco and Sanguinelli. Different tastes for different palettes. I like my citrus to taste like they're supposed to - rich, with their correct acid to sugar ratio. By leaving it on the tree longer, some citrus will sweeten up but still taste interesting and have a nice balance, while other citrus simple get flat tasting.
With stone fruit, it can be the same. You want enough of a bite to be interesting, not so much you pucker up, but for me, not so sickly sweet it loses its interest. I tend to like all my fruit on the sweeter side, but definitely not sub-acid. The great thing is we can all make our own decisions as to what our palettes prefer. Each to our own tastes.
Patty S.
I really appreciate this discussion so thank you Patty, John, and Mr. Clint.
Being an indoor grower it seems even for me that I can be fooled by color of the fruits.
For the first time, I have a Ruby Red grape fruit tree that is holding onto it's fruits. I have had a few drop since bringing it in but I think partly it was due to my tree being infested with spider mites, but now, I have that issue mostly under control.
The first fruit that dropped was a yellow green color and I thought for sure it would be a terribly tasting fruit. Boy was I wrong! When I peeled it, I was sprayed in the eye with juice. The pith around the fruit was a deep red color, and also the fruit itself.
I will say that the fruits are still under ripe. They were still slightly sour but edible. Now that first fruit was from a week or so ago. This fruit had turned more a yellowish red color so I am hoping for a better tasting fruit.
I also wanted to ask about the fruits I am growing. Now I remember what I read about allowing meyer lemons being over ripe, and I wont let that happen. I love my meyer lemon fruits, and I just don't have the patience for them to stay on the tree for more than a few weeks, and then I have to eat them. I have had a few that I could tell could have stayed on the tree a little longer but only a very few and I suspect that they were not totally ripe.
Now besides the Ruby Red, I also have the Oro Blanco grapefruit.
I would like to round out my small collection with a nice navel orange. What are your opinions here on growing a potted Navel orange? Is there a better choice for me? I also realize that most of you who live in the citrus belts don't have as much experience with growing citrus in pots. I know Mike loves his Navels, so that is partly why I am wanting one.
Thanks for any help and suggestions!
Okay, for fear of not providing resources about when to pick the Improved Meyer Lemon hybrid :-), the common thought out there is to pick them just as they start to turn slightly orange-yellow. Now, for some folks, they can taste off or have a piney taste if left on the tree too long. So, some folks will pick them before they take on that orangish cast. I personally don't really notice it, but for some people, it can be off-putting. This is anecdotal, having had many discussions on this forum as well as the Citrus Growers Forum about the Meyer lemon with folks much more erudite than I (and pickier). So, I would experiment with your Meyer lemon, and see if you can distinguish a taste difference between lemons that are yellow, versus riper lemons that are yellow-orange. Then you can decide what level of ripeness you prefer, if any.
As to a navel orange. The good old Washington Navel orange is a great cultivar. I happen to really like the Cara Cara, which is a sport of the Washington Navel because, first off, it's a wee bit sweeter (again, this is anecdotal, you may find this in resources, but frankly, I'm not going to look it up, as I have tasted both and this is what I and many others on forums report), as well as the flesh has a pink cast, so it's a really pretty orange, especially in salads. Cara Cara ripens here in California Nov through Jan. Mine are starting to color up right now, but look to not be ready for about 2 more weeks at least. Washington Navel ripens about the same time. Four Winds carries both, so if you like sweet and colorful fruit, the Cara Cara may be up your alley. Both do well in pots in a nice, controlled environment. Navel oranges are a wee bit temperamental outside, and do so much like our hotter, dryer S. California desert areas, so tend to do better in our more moderate climate zones. THAT I can provide resources for, see below. They do tend to stay well on the tree, but I have found that sometimes mine can get a bit dried out. Now, that is anecdotal and my experience, and might be due to an occasional weird heat wave and drop in soil moisture. Taste is not affected, though, and being in a container, you have good control over watering and moisture.
Patty S.
Here is a link that might be useful: UC Riverside Citrus Variety Collection: Parent Washington Navel
Correction, the navel oranges "do NOT so much like our hotter, dryer S. California desert areas." Missed the "not". I live in "Navel" country, they do exceptionally well here in N. San Diego county, a few miles in from the ocean. Orange County used to be filled with acres and acres of commercial navel orange trees. I remember them vividly, growing up as a kid in Fullerton and Huntington Beach.
Patty S.
Got it. Thanks for your patience, Patty. Satsumas are an exception (to holding well) that is worth noting. The degenerated strains and alternate bearing would be negatives to consider as well. I don't grow any Satsumas, and didn't grow up around any, so maybe the blurb about being unsuitable in hot desert valleys may include inland valleys as well.
Dang, I left Page Mandarin off my list above! It's like I forgot one of my kids. Found a Page Mandarin on my tree that was burning bright orange this morning -- and it was outstanding.
Andrew, I don't know what an overripe Meyer Lemon is like, which adds to some of my confusion. They hold long enough for me to get around to using them at my leisure. They are always good. My approach to citrus is to harvest them early, late and in between as needed/desired.
Yes, you might struggle with satsumas in the hotter inland valleys. If you have them in an area, though, where they can get some afternoon shade, you should be able to grow them. I think they're worth it because they really are delicious, and taste different than the clementines. Plus, I happen to thing that the satsumas have one of the nicest forms of all citrus trees. They are very ornamental. They stay low, have a lovely drooping habit, long lanceolate leaves, and are very pretty landscape trees. So, if you've got a spot perhaps on the east side of your house, consider planting one. They can alternate bear, but often, with more mature trees what you'll see is a really heavy year, followed by a lighter year (not necessarily a completely barren year). Interestingly, it looks like my Miho and my Okitsu will have opposite alternating years, so I'll have satsumas every year. The Okitsu is absolutely loaded. The Miho has none right now. I'll see how my two varieties produce for me, and watch to see if fruit degenerates either in quality or quantity. Hopefully not.
And yes, I think everyone should have a Page mandarin hybrid in their yard! I just love the taste of this fruit. Mine is way packed with fruit (I really should have thinned it). I did notice this year, due to our crazy heat wave, that I had some splitting with my Page. No other fruit split, not even any of my navel oranges. Just the Page. But, there was so much fruit, that I didn't mind, so in a sense, it did get some thinning. Mine are turning bright orange right now, too!
I would say for me, over ripe with a Meyer is way orangy-yellow, and getting soft. However, for me, I can't taste the difference, so I don't care if they're on the tree longer than might be considered optimal ripeness. I think they make spectacular lemonade and limoncello. We do tend to use the less over-ripe Meyers for our limoncello, though.
Patty S.
Interestingly enough (or not), my goal has been to walk out my sliding glass door and pick fresh fruits and veggies every (or any) day of the year. So far, so good. :)
When I was looking for early mandarins to fill in the Nov-Dec time frame, I visited the local farmers markets and sampled every Satsuma that I could find. They all were too acid, sour or just not very appealing. True confessions -- I've never had a Satsuma that I liked. I've had Kishu and Page and loved them, so I went in that direction. The family is shredding through the Kishus right now, so they will not make it too far into December.
Some years Page will run into the Washington Navel time frame, but this year they appear to be running a bit earlier than that. No need for me to get excited either way, as everything I have holds well, or word travels and they go pretty fast.
Wow. I've never had a sour satsuma. Bland ones, but never sour. But, I'm with you on the Seedless Kishu. One of my top 5 most favorite citrus cultivars. They are simply outstanding. The most seedless of all my citrus. Haven't had a seed, yet. I have Brown's Select satsuma seeds planted, so I'm hopeful to get a few seedlings. They are earlier than Miho, Okitsu, Owari or Kishu. So, hopefully I can get some to sprout. My Page and Cara Cara will overlap as well, but that's okay. Glad to have both. No Lane Late this year, as this little tree had to overcome Phytophthora, but it's doing very well, now, and had a nice growth spurt this summer, so I expect fruit next year for sure.
Patty S.
I had sour Owari Satsumas at the Mandarin Festival last weekend :-)
For some local orchards, the fruit just hasn't ripened properly....and for other orchards,
the fruit from certain trees/regions of the orchard is actually over-ripe (dry, loose-skinned fruit). It's
a real trick to harvest a full crop for market all at once and still have consistent flavor
from fruit to fruit.
My friends and I just go up and down the row of Owari vendors, until we find the orchard
that ended up with the best fruit by the third week of November festival deadline. Each year
it seems to be a different orchard.
This is a great time of year in the garden. The spinach is super buttery and crunchy, and pairs so well with the early citrus. Salad greens are also peaking and fresh Meyer Lemon dressing makes for a nice compliment. :)
Lane Late is a light bearer for me but is super sweet. We have them for dessert when they are at their peak around February.
I wish I could have a veggie garden. It would take so much effort to build one that would keep out all the rodents I deal with here, it just hasn't bee worth the effort, sadly. Between the rats, the gophers, the ground squirrels and the bunnies, I would have to build a totally enclosed area on all six sides. Maybe when I have a ton of spare time. I miss having my own veggies, especially lettuce and greens.
Good to know about Lane Late. This will be a new cultivar for me, and looking forward to having it produce. I wanted to try to extend my navel orange season, and figured this was a good choice. It does well here, as well, and will also do better in the hotter areas of S. California and AZ, better than Parent Washington, apparently.
I'd love to have your Meyer Lemon dressing recipe if you'd like to share it. I'm always looking for more ways to use my gazillion Meyer lemons, lol!!
Patty S.
As one of the regulars on the fruit message board has said, gardening is the gateway drug to starting an orchard. That has certainly been the case for me.
Lemon juice dressing is completely by feel, dare I say it's an art? ;)
1. Give a fresh lemon a good scrubbing (just get all the dirt off). If your lemons are small, try using a couple. The idea here is to use fresh right away rather than make a huge batch.
2. Use a microplane and zest the lemon. Don't dig into the white pith of the lemon. You probably know this from making Lemoncello.
3. Juice the lemon into a small bowl.
4. Add high quality extra virgin olive oil to taste. I don't use much, maybe 3-4 splashes.
5. Which way you take it from here is highly variable:
- Add a few shakes of 21 seasoning salute (Trader Joes)
-- or chopped or dried Italian herbs.
-- or just salt and cracked pepper.
- Maybe a slash of worchester sauce.
- Maybe a splash or two of high quality balsamic vinegar.
- And/or maybe a dab of Dijon mustard to taste and to emulsify.
5. Whip it good with a fork
6. Dip in a pinky and taste.
7. Add more of something to taste if needed and/or serve over fresh salad greens right away.
For you folks that just "know" when you are zesting a lemon NOT to get any of the white because it is soooo bitter... With Meyers, that is NOT an issue; the peel is not bitter. For Meyer zest I use a vegetable peeler to peel the skin and then just chop it up with a chef knife.
Same for limoncello. At the Fruit Logistica show in Berlin last year, the folks were so excited to find the Meyer peel is not bitter; they were walking around peeling the fruit and sucking on the peels.
Same for juice..with the Meyer you can just throw the whole fruit into the juicer.
The future of the lemon world is Meyer.
If life gives you lemons, pray they are Meyers.
You're right, John. I actually tasted the pith from my "Mystery" lemon (most likely an Italian femminello lemon) against the pith from the Meyer. I really think this is why our Limoncello is so incredibly smooth. There is zero bitterness aftertaste with our Meyer lemon limoncello. We have 3 different alcohol contents we make - 20%, alcohol, 26% alcohol, and 57% alcohol (not for the faint-hearted). It is extremely important to remove all pith, especially in our 57% product. I can attest that the pith is nothing nearly as bitter as my femminello lemon. We take extensive care to remove all pith, but have found we don't need to be as careful in doing that with our Meyer lemons. I really love our limoncello made with our Meyer lemons. It is absolutely exceptional. I can say with confidence that it surpasses the 6 different limoncellos we've tasted, all products from Italy. And, it has passed the multiple "Nonna" tests. We may make some Femminello batches, but so far, nothing touches our Meyer lemon limoncello.

Well, my two satsumas are new, and only the Okitsu Wase had fruit set on it when I bought it. I thinned down to two, just to give it a good start, and because I wanted to at least have a couple of fruit right out of the box. So, no more satsumas for my trees this year, but certainly lots of other fruit just about ready.
The Cara Cara navel. Very lovely fruit, a sport of Washington Navel, so it is very much like the Washington navel with regard to blossom time (spring), fruiting time (Nov-Jan). It has a smaller navel, The Cara Cara has a fairly strong propensity to sport variegated branches which will produced variegated fruit, so that's a plus. And, the fruit is a bit sweeter, and the flesh is pink (due to lycopene). I really like the Cara Cara, and it's why I have this variety, as opposed to the Washington Navel in my yard. If you have room for another tree, I would highly recommend it. I have 3 navel oranges for specific reasons: Cara Cara and Fukumoto, both which have this propensity to sport variegated limbs, which if they do, I will be t-budding to produce a variegated tree, and Lane Late, to stretch out my navel crop a wee bit.

John, it's funny you say that. I was zesting some meyer lemons yesterday, and I had an extra lemon that I decided to section (supreme) and eat the fruit. I loved it! Then I saw the zested peel sitting there and couldn't possibly throw it out! So I just ate the peel, and it was REALLY good! I was surprised. I might have to buy Meyers now just to eat the peel haha. Hopefully someday I will see your Meyers here in the eastern US!
Yes, limoncello does need a fair amount of sugar. The stronger the alcohol we use, the most sugar we find we need. You can experiment with different ratios of sugar to see what gives you the best mix and what tastes the best on your palette.
