Federal Officials Grant Florida Waiver on English-Learner Testing
Federal officials granted the state's request to give its English-language learners two years in a U.S. school before counting their test scores in school grades.
Federal officials granted the state's request to give its English-language learners two years in a U.S. school before counting their test scores in school grades.
What's more important for English-learners? A great overall teacher or a teacher with ELL certification?
The 1.1 million-student school system has struggled to move the needle on improving academic achievement and graduation rates for its 160,000 English-learners.
Researchers have launched a new tool to help policymakers better analyze and report the needs of shifting English-learner populations at schools from year to year.
In its request to extend its waiver from No Child Left Behind, Florida seeks to return to its previous practice of waiting until recently arrived ELLs have been in U.S. schools for two years before factoring their scores on content tests into school accountability.
The state's newly granted testing waiver means California is not likely to have data it can use to hold schools accountable for the performance of the nation's largest population of English-language learners.
Fewer states reported meeting all their federal academic goals for ELLs over the two school years that spanned 2008-10.
The nation's most ELL-rich school district continues to roll out its latest plan to raise achievement for students who are still learning English.
More schools would be held accountable for the performance of English-learners under the provisions of a bill to reauthorize the federal education law.
Dissatisfied with the achievement levels for English-learners, state education leaders highlight plans to improve instructional programs for the state's roughly 60,000 such students.

More Details Of Taymor-roth Feud
Picture: Julie Taymor National Museum of Women in the Arts honors five women at 'Legacies of Women in the Performing Arts' at the Enrique V. Iglesias...
After director Julie Taymor's cut of Across the Universe, featuring music of the Beatles, was greeted with derision by preview audiences, it was recut by Revolution Studios chief Joe Roth and shown last week to a receptive audience in Phoenix, AZ that gave it a score of 86 percent, L.A. Weekly columnist Nikki Finke reported Tuesday, citing unnamed sources. But when Taymor learned of the screening, insiders told Finke, she had an angry "meltdown." One studio insider told Finke: "We were dealing with a woman who has absolutely no sense of commercial potential. At one point, [Sony Pictures Co-chairman] Amy Pascal took her to dinner and diplomatically told her 'how good it could be' if only she'd cut the movie. But Julie still refused. Indeed, that's the refrain of everyone: there's a great movie in there, somewhere. But, as [Taymor's cut] stands now, it's so complicated it's just a bad movie."

The last few days? I have had a yard sale.
I have had a stirring for the last few years for less and less stuff. And while I find myself constantly cleaning out and giving away, it has never seemed like enough.
This time? I got serious.
I cleaned out my mini-storage on Tuesday (which housed things most of you have in an attic) and have been sorting and pricing and selling since.
The "stuff" just sitting around the house? The stuff that serves no purpose in our day-to-day life? The furniture that isn't required? The eight cutting boards in the kitchen cabinet? That second-extra-just-in-case blender? And the "other" three 12-piece place setting of dishes? They are gone.
This whole process has been pretty overwhelming. More so probably because this is on the heels of me getting home Monday night after driving 8000 miles.
But if anything – that is what pushed me to do it.
And it also reminds me how much "extra" we as Americans think is necessary to exist.
Stuff doesn't make us happy. If anything, it gives us more to do.
More to clean. More to maintain. More money we have to make so we can continue to afford all of the "stuff."
I am a big fan of life, y'all. And I want to live out the desires The LORD has put in me. I have dreams. I have goals. And to meet those, I don't want to allow the "stuff" to hold me back. Because all the stuff? It's heavy. And the more stuff? The heavier it is.
So to "simplify all of life"? That is my quest. One I have been on for a long while, but one in which I am no longer wading in the water, observing more than participating.
I have jumped full in. Sans life vest.
And without so much stuff?
A lot lighter.

Andrea Thompson is a TV star, but what she really wants to be is a local TV news reporter. In Albuquerque. Yes, we know. Not even local TV news reporters in Albuquerque want to be local TV news reporters in Albuquerque.
But don't tell that to Andrea Thompson, who will depart ABC's "NYPD Blue" at the end of this season to move to Albuquerque and become a local news anchor there.
As Thompson told the new TV Guide: "I've always been a news junkie."
The actress -- whose age is variously reported as 38 or 40 -- also apparently wants to spend more time with her son. She debuted as Detective Jill Kirkendall on "Blue" in 1996.
AND NOW YOU KNOW: Primetime TV "is going down a moral sewer!" This word just in from the Parents Television Council, the conservative watchdog group that, in a just-released study, says incidents of "course language" and "sexual content" nearly tripled on the tube from 1989 to 1999. There appears to be no correlation between the decline of civilization and the rise of "Saved By the Bell," which debuted in 1989.
PLAN AHEAD, AVOID THE RUSH TO THE COUCH: ABC hit comedy "Dharma & Greg" is set to debut in convenient syndicated-rerun form in fall 2002.

Grosjean delighted with third despite missing chance to win
Oct 13, 2013, 7:00 AM EDT
Romain Grosjean is delighted to have finished third in today's Japanese Grand Prix despite leading the majority of the race at Suzuka and only losing out to the Red Bull duo of Sebastian Vettel and Mark Webber after his final pit stop.
The Lotus driver appeared to be on the cusp of becoming the first French driver to win a grand prix since Olivier Panis' victory at the 1996 Monaco Grand Prix. However, by going longer on his second stint, Vettel was able to use his fresher tires to catch Grosjean with twelve laps to go. Three-stopping Mark Webber was also able to find a way past late on, but Grosjean is pleased to have finished on the podium.
"Today was just a very, very good race," Grosjean said. "What a start! It was superb to go past both the Red Bulls like that and it'll be one of my best memories of the year."
Grosjean made a fantastic getaway off the line, jumping up from fourth to first as he passed Lewis Hamilton, Sebastian Vettel and Mark Webber to seize the lead of the race. He is proud that he was the only driver to come close to the Red Bull duo in Japan, with fourth-placed Fernando Alonso finished over thirty seconds behind the Lotus.
"The car was fantastic on the first set of tyres and we managed to pull away, but then the Red Bulls were able to reel us in later on. Ultimately, we were the only car to almost catch the 'bull'. It's been a great home race for my engineer; it's always good to come to Japan and it's really good to be back on the podium again."

Everyone wanted to hate on Grosjean but I knew this guy was fast.
Romain, great race.
Keep it up..

This is a must read for anyone wrestling with how to live with and among others in an intentional life-giving way.
Thank you Dave and Jay for your insights and honesty about how difficult but how rewarding a life of intentional neighbouring can be. May we all seek to serve our neighbours well.
Grace for SinnersSimpsonville, SCAge: 25-34Gender: male4 Stars Out Of 5Good Read. Don't Miss OutSeptember 7, 2012Grace for SinnersSimpsonville, SCAge: 25-34Gender: maleQuality: 4Value: 4Meets Expectations: 4This review was written for The Art of Neighboring: Jesus' Call to Love Starts Right Outside Your Door.The Spirit was prodding and convicting my heart the entire time I was reading The Art of Neighboring. I have a confession: I know very few of my neighbors by name. I used to know my neighbors to my right twice over but both times those families moved. My oldest daughters plays with the new neighbor's little girl to the right but I haven't formally introduced myself to her parents. I know of some of the other neighbors but not real well. It's a shame. Jay & Dave make a compelling case that we should know them and be actively pursing relationships to a varying degree with them. They say,
I also learned that the story of Jesus becomes evident whenever we connect with the people who live closest to us. Jesus said, "Everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another" (John 13:35). The practice of neighboring creates incredible opportunities for us as believers to connect out stories to the stories of our neighbors and to God's story. (p. 10)
They beginning with their stories. They invited their city officials to meet with a group of local pastors. These pastors wanted to know how they could impact their communities. The officials said the best help the churches could provide was by being good neighbors. Isolation reeks havoc in many neighbors and is attached to many social problems. So simple yet often neglected.
It's important to note that they argue neighboring should not be seen as an evangelism method (p. 99). Otherwise, we are performing a bait and switch. Our neighbors will feel like we traded being nice for an opportunity to proselytize.
However, Jay & Dave argue inevitably faith will come as life happens and we are connected with others. I have discovered over the last year or two that evangelism feels uncomfortable because we treat it like a three step sales process. Nobody likes that. But when we evangelize through witnessing to the work of the Spirit in our own lives it's natural and rarely will people deny your experience.
The main rub is when those we have been neighboring with reject our gospeling. If neighboring is an evangelism tool then we stop pursing that relationship. But if it simply loving others unconditionally then we continue with the relationship.
Jay and Dave then talk about the biblical commands for loving neighbor and root that in this simple art of neighboring. They also address many of our hesitations in doing so--time constraints, fear, etc.
I have to say that both are fears of mine but their approach is balanced. They recognize that you cannot be intimate with every neighbor you have. They suggest being familiar with many of them and develop relationships with a few where there's a natural connection. They also recognize that we must set boundaries. Good neighboring doesn't mean we let people take advantage of our family. It means we are there for those who are in need and in conjunction we do not enable or do harm.
The Art of Neighboring is for everyone. All of us have neighbors. All of us have been commanded to love our neighbors. You don't have to dedicate your life to your neighbors but you should be there when life happens to speak into their lives. Just like the Spirit made a tangible difference in your heart when you were born again, your neighborhood should be different because you are there. They also point out that in many cases you may find some of your neighbors are Christians which provides natural allies in supporting and serving the neighborhood.

In the Mood for Love has the capacity to hold me spellbound for it's entire length. I kept forgetting to pause and take screen grabs for the images I wanted to include in the column because I was so entranced. Wong Kar-wai's sweeping and reserved platonic romance tells the tale of a pair of neighbors in who discover their spouses are having an affair in 1962 Hong Kong.

Sometimes when I do this posts for lesser known movies, I get really worried. I want them to be great so you'll rent it and (hopefully) love it as much as I do. Normally, I'll just pull a few cute things from the internet and write up a couple of sentences and hope for the best. This time is different. I am going to shamefully beg you to watch this movie. On my knees, beg. Seriously beg. Get thee to thine house of DVD rental and watch right now, beg. It's sexy, reserved and utterly sublime. You won't be sorry.* -amy m.

love loove tony leung too..he never seems to age either..lust, caution is also another one of my favorites.by ang lee.
great job on the furniture picks!
Thanks for the great recommendation! I have been meaning to watch this film for ages as it just looks gorgeous! Thanks for the reminder!
This is my NUMBER ONE all-time favorite film!
awesome post!
you convinced me… just added this to my netflix queue! i especially like the mini-bar. i'm restoring my current bar to it's original use as a console record player, so i need a new place to stash barware.
i am amply convinced-no need to beg! :)
I own a copy of this movie… it's so, so beautiful. Thanks for the great inspiration!
This is up in my top three favourite films EVER. It is a visual feast; every single frame is a little masterpiece. The colours, the score, the whole feel of it: I've watched it half a dozen times and never tired of it.
My husband and I have been absolutely entranced by this movie for several years and so has a friend of ours who borrowed (and kept) my copy a couple years ago! The visual details in this movie are phenomenal and so is the soundtrack.
Thanks for the tips on incorporating the feel of the movie into our homes…funny, I already had some of the items you picked out on my wish list:)
i love the music and the feel of the movie, the subtlety…it is intoxicating
I watched this movie at my husband's insistence and I was completely overwhelmed by its unbelievable beauty (and by my husband's incredibly good taste). It's so great to see it getting some attention. Everyone definitely should see this movie!!
This movie is such a jewel – my now-husband lent me his copy when our more-than-friends-relationship was just a glint in his eye…needless to say, it made a HUGE impact!
This is great :) I love Memoirs of a Geisha, such a pretty movie, too…
i absolutely love this movie. 2046, the "sequel" of ITMFL, was visually stunning but not as emotionally raw.
already added to my queue. it looks beautiful!
thanks for the movie suggestions — i always love a good recommendation, and reading over the comments, i'm sure this one is a winner.
you rock my world! I am so glad you did 'living in' for this movie. during a film class, i swear i must have watched this movie for days on end (my poor husband) just to pick up on all the subtleties.
This is such a great movie. I love the claustrophobic cinematography that can't keep these two apart.
Absolutely beautiful. This is one of my favorite movies. I think I'd have picked different screenshots, though. It's so hard—it's all so gorgeous.
one of the best movies ever. great LI.
I am always trying to get people to watch this movie. Love it!
I *love* this movie! Gorgeous post!
Great job on researching the items in the movie!!! The main character's wardrobe was perfectly tailored, beautifully.
I might have to get Tiffin lunch box set… If anyone bought the Tiffin set, I'd like feedback on how to heat food or how long will it hold heat.
Lesser known! Spread the gospel, my friend.
I love love love the "living in" section of design*sponge- one of my most favorite sections of this blog! Whenever I watch a movie now I've started picking out things in the set that I would play off of and choose to focus on if I were to write a "living in" section of it. And I will most definitely rent this movie! So thank you for providing this and keep them coming!
Wow… very eerie- I've never seen this movie, but it looks exactly the way I've decorated my house.
great film + great design = party!!!
just yesterday my friend who i just showed this movie to for the first time online streamed on Netflix (even easier to see) was saying how beautiful the cinematography and art direction is, how he'd never seen such colors and look before.
I just put it my Netflix queue, too! They are going to wonder what's up with the uptick in Mood for Love rentals! Thanks for the tip.
Oh my, this has been on my instant queu for months, but for some reason or another I haven't watched it yet. Now I must! Thank you!
love Won Kar Wai's movies!!! lovely finds!!
I love these living in posts, and I was wondering if there is a way to access them easily? I don't see a link on the sidebar, but I am a bit blind about those sort of things…
hi dorothy!
right now they live in the "categories" section of d*s, but when we launch the re-design in may/june they will be easy to find by either the column name or the author name. we added a chunk of new writers/columns this year and sort of outgrew the current layout, so we're working quickly now to fix that. until then, here's the link to amy's columns:
I haven't seen this moving, but I'm loving this collection. I love the living in series in general.
have never heard of it but will search it out pronto!
Wow, Amy! This is a gorgeous post.
I'd like to request that you do a 'living in' post about 'E.T.' I've always been fascinated by the things in that movie. It's not exactly breathtaking, but I bet it would be interesting.
Add me to the list of the convinced. This is a gorgeous collection of objects… I'm looking forward to similarly gorgeous cinematic funtime :-)
PS, will a higher power come down & smite me if I actually spend $37 on those teacups?
This movie is eye-poppingly gorgeous. Great choice for a "Living In" segment.
This is such a beautiful movie! Thanks for posting this great write-up… I've been wanting the amazing linoleum floor in that hallway for awhile!
love this. i've been a long-time wong kar- wai fan, this film being my initial introduction to his work. stirring, soulful, gorgeous. great choice. and great selections. you nailed it.
In case all the previous 30+ comments weren't convincing enough, here's another:
You've hit spot on with this one! :)
I love jadeite! You can definitely get a nice cup/saucer set for much less than that, though.
I will have to check out the movie, as the whole post is lovely.
I remember the way the moved,how she moved and the camera was like dancing around her. It was awesome.
wow! i love that film! it's a little (or a big) jewel. and your selection is really nice :)
love love love love this film…
Thank you so much for highlighting this film! ItMfL single-handedly convinced my husband and I to buy a mah jong set – they make the game so glamorous.
that mini bar is BANANAS. never seen the movie, i guess i should?
Love it all.
Wouldn't it be great to rent the film and decorate your house a bit like the movie?? You've got me intrigued, I'm headed over to my netflix site next!
This film is one of my all time favourites!!! Thanks for doing the 'living in'
apart from the settings, what about the clothes? that's what really won me over–I understand the tailor for her cheongsam dresses went to great lengths to create the right period look…sooo gorgeous!
oh my god, can you please do another post about maggie cheung's WARDROBE in this movie? I have coveted every dress she wore for ages. great find!
Love this movie! It's one of my husband's top 3 of all time. I love the fact that they go and buy noodles in those sweet thermos looking things. You collect of finds is really great. I love the clock!
great list. i want the real tiffin/noodle carriers!
what a gorgeous movie. one of my favorite films of all time.
This is the best column so far–I bought some jadeite cups a long time ago because of this film, so I can realte to wanting to live in it.
this is my nr.1 favorite movie! love how you presented it!
Glad everyone seems to already love this movie!
A note on the clothes- I tried for hours and hours to find beautiful dresses to include. They are almost impossible to find and the few i did, the photo quality was so poor i couldn't include them.
No one makes really beautiful dresses like that and I didn't want to include something cheap and touristy looking!
One, if not possibly, the film of my life. I watch it at least once a year. I am always discovering new things, new colour combinations, new moods, new feelings. It is a great inspiration. I have seen ALL his films, and none is as powerful as this one.
OMG, this is the look of my new apartment and I didn't even put two and two together! Now I must re-watch because I haven't finished everything and could use that last bit of inspiration!
One of the first movies I saw in an arthouse theatre, I left gasping at the rich depth of color in every scene, the decadent lighting, the spare styling, and of course, the greatly sad love story! I think I need to OWN this movie. Thanks for showcasing it!
thanks for the tip on the movie — I love movies like this and will check it out! I'm already getting my big bowl of popcorn ready!
absolute one of the most visually inspiring movies ever! i am so happy to see a "living in" on it.
this is one of my favorite films. i waited and waited for 2046 (the supposed sequel) and was so disappointed.
Beautiful choice! I loved all the dresses the female character wears through the film.
fantastic movie (i haven't seen it in years but i loved it when it first came out!) and fantastic suggestions!
I love this film. I love the director. I love Leung Chiu Wai. I love this film so much that I bought those cups in Shanghai. Hehehe.
this is the most beautiful movie, one of my favourite all times. Coming from a Hong Kong background, it brings a sense of strong nostalgia for me. It is most awesome in lighting and feel. Love all the Wong Kar Wei films! It reminds me of what my grandma wore in the 60s and also my mum.
these "living in" segments make me so happy! i really enjoy them, i hope you continue to post these. sometimes the scenery, the feel of a movie, can be a character in itself.
here are more interiors shots: http://www.flickr.com/search/?q=in%20the%20mood%20for%20love&w=63122153%40N00
i caught this on ifc a few months ago and became obsessed with finding images. it pretty much slayed me. the only thing it lacks is smell-0-vision. if you could catch the cigarettes, colognes, foods… on top of the visuals and that sensuous music, people might swoon to death. a
i'm going to upload a couple more pics to my flickr.
omg. thank you for profiling such a gorgeous film! I love it so much!
I love love love this film — one of my favorites! All of Wong Kar Wai's films are visually stunning but this one just took my breath away. I just watched it again last week and have recommended it twice on my blog. Love these posts:)
Love this movie! How about the Marimekko(?) wallpaper in his room…It's not in any of the images above, but when I watch the movie, it always stands out!
Amy, you are reading my mind. I saw the movie two weeks ago for the first time and thought, "Wouldn't it be nice if it was featured on Living In." It is sexy and subtle and beautiful. Thanks for the post and please keep 'em coming!
Yes! My favorite movie. I want to live inside In the Mood for Love.
I love this movie, but you should also check out Wong Kar Wai's classic "Days of Being Wild". Same cast with more stars, but grittier version of Hong Kong.
wow! i'm so amazed how many people know and love this film. and here i thought it was just my crazy asian family who couldn't get enough of it! :)
In the Mood for Love is a GREAT movie and the items you picked perfectly reflect it!
Lovely, thanks!
Thank you for reminding me to watch this movie again. I loved it the first time I saw it and developing a thing for that actor. Yum. I can't remember what else I've seen him in?
Coincidentally, NPR used the song "In the Mood for Love" as a transition after a story today. Weird!
AHHH Love Love this film. and you did a fantastic job with this post. Makes me want to put the film on right now. I liked 2046, a lot of ppl were disappointed, but I still liked it but maybe a little less. I also watched his American film a couple of years ago the one with Norah Jones..uuummm….My Blueberry Nights..I think thats it…well it was good, but nothing like IITMFL:)
I just started reading your blog and really like it – the items you chose in this post are fantastic! Of course it helps that I LOVE this movie too! All of the dresses Maggie Cheung wears are so beautiful and Tony Leung is amazing actor.
You would probably like Raise the Red Lantern. It's not by Wong Kar Wai, but by Zhang Yimou, who eventually made Hero.
How can you argue with scenes like this?
This is my absolutely favorite movie. Exceptional post!
This is one of my favorite movies — great job on the items! Must have, must have, must have. Plus love.
Congrats on your nomination on Saveur's top blogs!
Again, Anotehr movie I love, not only the story but the setting, clothing, lighting, photography, it is a master pieces. Well chosen things to go with it.
I love this movie. I actually gasped once when th e camera panned around them at a restaurant because of her dress. And the way she walked to get those noodles every night. Such a sweet yet sad or sad yet sweet story. Thank you for urging others to see it. And thanks to my friend Robin for sending me your link.
One of my favorite movies. Such an incredible wealth of detail in every shot, all of it working so perfectly to underscore the emotional timbre. (Stills from the film make great desktop wallpaper. Swoony!)
I love this film sooo much; this is one of my favorite regular columns, too!
I love Wong Kar-wai, and this is a great film. You picked perhaps his most mainstream release, too, which most people will probably be familiar with. If anyone hasn't seen it, it's so worth watching and shouldn't be too hard to rent!
Each and every Wong Kar Wai is a Must! I am glad that his name appears on a popular blog like yours.
its a gorgeous film.. I had an opportunity to visit and lived abroad in Hong-Kong for many years. Everytime after a wan char wai movie, I would walk out on to the streets in HK and feel and look at it more romantically then ever, even in midst of the kaos..He's an amazing film maker..
Ok…now I have to go out and rent this movie!
I'm new to your site and love the posts and inspiration!
Lovely! Your posts always make me want to put the movie in my netflix queue. Seriously!
I remember this movie from my film class in college…it's a wonderful movie…I especially loved the collages for this one…I'll be sure to watch it again. Thanks for the inspiration…
I've been waiting for this post!! This is one of my all time favorite movies and my absolute favorite purely visually. Thanks for this!
truly one of the prettiest films ever! (though, the soundtrack drove me a little bonkers.)
Great representation of the movie, which I love. I was totally skeptical when my boyfriend told me we were watching another foreign film – but visually and emotionally a film gem. I agree – get on the Netflix or video store if you haven't seen this!
I love this film! I've been waiting for you to write this post since you started writing on D*S. Yay! How lovely!
A thousand times YESSSSSSSSSS!
Great choice! Could you please please please do Amelie soon? And A Very Long Engagement? Those are my favorite style movies. Thanks!
this movie is amazing. great pick! and thank you, i love your posts.
I love lesser-known film recommendations!! This little gem is available on my Netflix instant queue! Hooray!
this is an incredible movie!!!! so many others have already professed their love above, but i just had to add to the spirit!
thanks so much. i wish i could dress like her every day!
ooooh, movie sounds interesting! will definitely get myself a copy. thanks!
i absolutely love this film, however it's sequel, 2046 is in my opinion even more beautiful. So if you have not seen that – go get it!!! thanks for a great post :)
I saw this movie at the theater when it came out mostly due to an interview with the director. He said that the city was changing daily and he wanted to capture as much as he could before it disappeared. I understand. I was enchanted. My favorite scene is when the businessman comes home from his trip with a 'new' rice cooker, everyone in the audience cracked up.
This is one of my favorite movies. EVER.
I love every scene. I love her dresses. I love the soundtrack. And maybe, above all, I love how the things that they never said make me feel.
I have seen it a million times. A real good choice, Amy. Thanks!
I love this posts!
By the wya, if nayone's listening, I'm desperately looking for a sign that appears in Woody allen's Manhattan mistery Murder behind his bed. I'ts a Soho sign with chinese characters.
My email is puricaja7 (a) gmail.com
Thanks XO
When I stumbled across this post, I immediately thought that if I were going to write one of these, it would have to be for Out of Africa. So of course I had to scroll back through all of them, to see that it was your first one ever. Now that I'm convinced that we're soul mates, I'll just sit back and wait for you do do your Living In post on The Razor's Edge.
Thanks a ton, Elizabeth
I love love love this movie! One of my fave by Wong Kar-Wei!! Thank you so much for the fabulous inspiration!
Yes definitely one of my favorite movies.
A good choice in terms of style.
Wong Kar Wai and Christopher Doyle make such beautiful movies together, and this one is no exception! Even with little action or dialogue, this movie pulls you and won't let go. And thank goodness, we need more movies like this!
a gorgeous film, i agree.
a great post!
This movie is a HUGE hit over here. Enjoy most of Wong Kar Wai's movies and how emotive they are.
Hey, I was just listening to the theme tune today!!
I too love this film, so seductive and sensual. Check out "My Blueberry Nights" all so good :)
Please do "I capture the Castle" one of these days. Thanks.
and 2046! The music is spectacular!
I took you advice and watched this movie last night. It is just beautiful!
thank you, thank you, thank you for doing a "living in" post on this film. I've watched it numerous times and love every little thing about it. My other Wong Kar-Wai fave is "Chungking Express."
I am SO glad you did this movie for a "living in" post. I LOVE this movie! 2046 is also just as visually amazing!
I'd love to see a "Living in" post on "The Devil's Backbone". The elements of that movie are superb and the color choices that they stuck with were fantastic!
I love the film soooo much. Thank you for posting about it!
This is a lovely movie! Her dresses on her beautiful shape were so enviable.
Amy, I just want to say having see ing your post (which I always love) on this movie , I put it on my film list and I finally got to see it. And I loved it! So thank you for introducing it to me!
Hey Amy, I just came across your blog. Yes this movie was produced quite a few years ago and is absolutely beautiful. I live in Hong Kong and walked into a vintage shop one day and it happened to be the one that lent things to Wong Kar Wai for props for the movie. I fell in love with a lamp – turns out it was the one in Tony Leung's bedroom. I'll email you a screen shot and one from my home if you like. It's a beautiful double headed gooseneck lamp from the 60s. I'm so happy to see that there are so many fans out there, outside of Hong Kong.
hi amy! just want to thank you for the recommendation, i watched it because of your post, and it was packed with style! love it! keep up the great blogs!
Amy, I promise to rent this , or find it on Netflicks, It sounds very intriguing. I love this feature because I get so many great suggestions that I haven't heard of before, and I love to see you create Living In's of the ones that I love as well. I found this old link and I am glad that I did.

I like this condom, we both do. It works for both of us.
Pros: It works!

Bottom Line: I would recommend to a friend.

Dell Exec Calls HP's New 'Machine' Architecture 'Laughable' 173
from the color-everyone-surprised dept.
We've improved Slashdot's video section; now you can view our video interviews, product close-ups and site visits with all the usual Slashdot options to comment, share, etc. No more walled garden! It's a work in progress -- we hope you'll check it out (Learn more about the recent updates).
If Dell has to misrepresent what HP is doing in one breath while disproving that misrepresentation in the next, just to have a straw man to poke fun at, then Dell must be a little scared.
HP has a long history of OS and CPU design, including their own computers with a proprietary architecture. Not all of their designs were successful, since they were co-designers of the Itanium with Intel. So HP has the exactly opposite corporate background the Dell.
Why would anyone pay attention to what a Dell talking head has to say?
What an executive from Dell, a company that is almost single-handedly stifling innovation in the computer industry by continuing to push enormous volumes of generic wintel garbage out onto the market to the exclusion of anything else/new/better/etc, has to say about innovation.
"With persistent memory, the machine state gets messed up, you are so screwed."
Uh, have you looked into your computer recently? I believe you'll find either this little device called "an HDD" or this other little device called "an SSD". And people with those seldom get screwed.
Do you truly, honestly, I mean...REALLY believe that Microsoft expends any time at all even thinking about ReactOS or WINE, let alone worrying about the
Seriously, answer seriously, please.
How exactly do you propose to design an OS for that, keeping the benefits of persistent data objects, while running applications working on serialized data on top of that?
Make it right before you make it faster.

as a kid, i think i may have had one Game & Watch and definitely no computer games, save Pong.
so getting a DS Lite was quite a revelation for me,
only did it (a few months ago now) after a friend, pK, showed me his and told me about Brain Age. omg!
also got myself a 156 in 1 game GBA cartridge to catch up on some of the stuff i had missed out on in my misspent youth.
am totally fascinated about Nintendo's position in the gaming industry and am impressed how they've seemed to stay true to their roots and just keep on coming up with interesting concepts.
as if one wasn't bowled over enough with Brain Age, when lo & behold, they come out with Face Training. so funny!
haven't done enough training on either games, sigh, as i'm too distracted keeping an eye out for accessories all the time, like this pencil case set, a collaboration between HORI and classic japanese stationer, Tombow.
shezzz, blackbird.fly, rockpants!, and 14 other people added this photo to their favorites.
Very cool.
I had the thick, grey Gameboy with a few games my boyfriend gave me, way back when. Now, years later, I want a DS Lite and the Japanese game that helps you learn how to write Kanji. Fun, fun!
Thanks. Happy flickrversary!
hope you get your DS soon! ^^
your eye=gr lens!haha:)
indeed! ^^

Is there a TSB on the crank pulley for the 2006 corvettes and is it considered to be part of the powertrain? The pulley has a wobble and the belt makes a chirp sound. I have an extended warranty with powertrain coverage but the company I have the warranty with says it's not covered. I'd truely appreciate any info you can offer me as it is an expensive replacement job.

You might just need a belt for the noise. Are you noticing a vibration from the engine? If not the balancer is probably ok. They never look to spin true

Thanks for the reply. No, the engine doesn't vibrate at all but there is a wobble of the pulley. The belt noice is not really bad just a little chirp and thats not always. I had a couple of mechanics look at it and they both said the balancer would need to be replaced, especially since the C6 corvettes have been problematic with the balancer. Something about the gel on the internal shifting. I'd appreciate it if you had anything more to add.

I... absolutely think this is a piece of shit that fell from Chuck Norris's own asshole. That is how awesome this is...
BAHAHAHAHA supercodplayer1995. This was a funny animation and I know a few a people that are just extreme fans of Pewdiepie. The comment that rockluver001 made me laugh because I see the same comment on so many other videos like this. I find people making front of the bro fist funny because my friend used to always watch his videos if I went over his house and found it weird that I didn't bro fist the screen.
really you guys need to get a life at least pewdiepie is making good videos and making a living doing what he likes...you guys are just being haters....btw your animation needs a lot of work....the voices were good though ..except for the girly screams those were just annoying
This review is very interesting. I'd like to comment back to you as well about the contents of the video and the overall structure of what we are.
Stating that we "need a life" is a very over used expression that has a loose meaning. There is no set standard of living beyond a physical level. In that category we seem to be doing ok.
Honesty it is cool that PewDiePie is making a living off of what he wants to do. If he's enjoying it, great. To be honest success stories like that are what inspires us to work towards a living we want to have on the internet. Does that necessarily mean I like him. No. But the fact that a Sweetish man in his bedroom can achieve cyber fame. It sounds very unlikely until it happens. This man that you seem to have a strong support for, he didn't get where he was going out and parting all the time. He did it by working hard developing his YouTube account and making videos. I tell you, I doubt this man had much of a social life when he was developing his following.
Honestly being someone that does not care for PewDiePie I honestly do believe I'm more knowledgeable than you are in the subject matter that is PewDiePie. We don't just shit out this video blindly. Believe it or not, we researched him for months before making this video. We try hard to get our facts straight. The main focus was the more so the obsessive fans over PewDiePie himself.
Often overlooked, the ending with supercodplayer1995. That was making fun of obsessed PewDiePie haters. The kind of people that feel more deserving of fame. We are very sarcastic people, we try to find the humor in everything. Hell we ourselves may even fit the description of a PewDiePie hater. It was a subject that we poked fun at in this video.
Lets move on to the animation. We are all ears for improvements. However its not very helpful to state that it "needs a lot of work." If you're interested in elaborating on what you were disappointed about specifically. Feel free to PM me! :)
We appreciate the complements on the voice, if you had any specifics that you liked, or even any flaws or improvement feel free to PM us about that as well! no obligation.
Also the screams, now you know how we feel when PewDiePie videos are playing. ;)
In conclusion, this is a parody. Parodies are normally exaggerated from the truth. We even stated that in the description. Thank you for the review! I hope my response was helpful in understanding our reasoning for this video, and where we stand on the issues stated. Have a great afternoon! :)
To everyone who dislikes or hates PewDiePie, PewDiePie also has a life... Hes not only screaming infront of computer, anyway he do it for fun and make people laugh, because he like it, and if you got problem with that then dont even watch him or comment like an mad hater... Seriously, get a life.
Even as a fan of Pewdie, (not for his screams but his expreasions and insanity.) I enjoyed this.

Defector media outlets align, want AM radio outlet
Dec 6th
Posted by Martyn Williams in Media
Four of South Korea's leading defector-run media outlets have begun jointly lobbying the government on issues of mutual interest and their first target appears to be a mediumwave (AM) radio frequency.
Radio Free Chosun, Open Radio for North Korea, Daily NK and OTV have come together under the "Unification Media Group," Daily NK reported.
The four have a joint goal of reaching a million North Korean adults within the next five years. Under current conditions, that's all but impossible via TV or the Internet but could be done by radio.

South Korean sites hit by cyber attacks

Posted by Martyn Williams in Hacking
Several South Korean websites that specialize in reporting on North Korean issues were hit by cyber attackers on Tuesday, they said late the same day.
Daily NK and Free North Korea Radio both confirmed the attacks in articles posted on their sites. They were said to begin at 2pm local time (0500 UTC) and resulted in the sites being unavailable for some time.
"The attack was aimed at databases and was designed to blow away the entire system. Based on this, we can say that their target was clearly pre-ordained and the aim was to completely incapacitate it," the Daily NK said More >
How Chinese cell phones help information flow
Apr 1st
Posted by Martyn Williams in Cellular
Bloomberg Businessweek has a story on the Chinese cell phones in use in North Korea along the border region. It estimates around 1,000 people use such phones to keep in touch with relatives and associates in China, South Korea and elsewhere. Because the cell phones connect to Chinese cell phone towers it's difficult for the North Korean government to eavesdrop on the calls, but it does mean use is restricted to the border area.
The piece interviews Open Radio for North Korea, the Seoul-based shortwave broadcaster, and the Daily NK Web site on how they gather information from inside North Korea More >

gardening in hot weather...
How are your hot weather crops doing?
Let's go and look at my garden today, it was a hot day that is for sure.
Black jungle butterbeans are producing despite the high temperatures
I have to shelled some today:)
Yard long beans, you either love them or hate them,lol. (I like them)
The surprise and tasty vegetable, the easiest to grow and tender, bitter free leaves that taste like spinach (not slimy like other ones) Thank you Maxine.
Eggplants are producing well and I love them!
My favorite dish using everything that I grow in the garden
Green Glaze collards are the best! and I have a lot to share with friends
And my yellow tamarillo also know as a tree tomato is ripening, they are delicious!
How are the tomato seedlings? I have mine getting ready for the fall season. The new ones this season is Nyagous and Rosalita, thank you Tom. Also planted are a smorgasbord of favorites.:) Broccoli and more collards are started and I will follow with some winter squash.
Silvia, Your garden looks healthy as always! An update on the Seminole Pumpkin seeds you shared with me last year. I'm growing again this year from seeds that I saved from last year's harvest. I have 21 mature pumpkins from three plants. Also, my Seminole pumpkin seeds will be distributed at the seed exchange at the August meeting of the Organic Grower's Club here in Orlando. I just thought you would enjoy knowing what your generosity has led to.
I'm most interested in the winter squash you mentioned in your post. When it the best time to plant and what variety has worked for you. Thanks, Mary
I love the yard long beans too. I'd also like to get the red ones to try again. I agree I'd like to know more about the spinach like green, what is that? ;o) My best tomato was the yellow pear it just now stopped producing.
Your garden looks wonderful as usual.
Hi Mary - It is so nice to hear from you and that you keep growing the seminole pumpkin, they are tasty and keep well and it is very nice from you to save the seeds and give others to try, it is very rewarding to see other gardeners succeed.
Just about this time I am going to start shorter season winter squash, nematodes are active when is hot so I either starter them in new beds or big container, in the spring when is cooler they all get to start in the raised beds.
I had good luck with Sweet Dumpling, Delica, Red Kuri and Blue Kuri. This fall I am trying another one that is highly recommended Sunshine and it is a hybrid, I will give my reports after I harvest it to see how well it does in our weather and how it taste. You can also try a winter squash available as seedlings at the big box stores that is the Buttercup.
Here is a red kuri in October with a harvested big sweet potato, picture taken in October last year.
Hi Veronica - Oh! I forgot about the name is an edible amaranth called callaloo and widely used in the Caribbean, I ate it while in Jamaica for breakfast, steamed and with sides of vegetables and fish, it was very good. When I came back I decided to grow it, that is when Maxine shared some seeds with me, they were green so I thought they would not grow, lol. She said just sprinkle them and they will keep growing and I have to tell you they are delicious! I prepare washing them in salted water even mine had no bugs, then I stir fry some onions and let the chopped callaloo cook for about 10 minutes. This are the best greens for the summer, I will make soup with chorizo today since the family like them.
Here is another picture
Hi Kathy - You can probably grow callaloo all year round, I read that is very nutritious more so than spinach and when cooked, in my opinion taste better than spinach. We all need our greens for our health, especially if they grow easy for us and easy and fast to prepare. I am going to leave the space in the garden to keep growing. The pictures that I posted are after the big harvest for the dinner last night, and they are not even that long in the ground, the only thing I do for the collards and the callaloo is to wash the leaves with a light spray of water and I have no bugs there. Next time that I cook the leaves I will take a picture, I forgot that yesterday. Today is butterbeans for lunch or dinner. If you have extra tomatoes one of the best ways to keep them for later is just freezing them. That is what I did with some of mine and I am enjoying them for dishes now, like the eggplant dish that I did with the frozen tomatoes. Winter squash cooked and frozen is also very good for recipes, this morning we are having winter squash pancakes.
And thank you Ladies for all your nice comments. ...
As usual Silvia you are way ahead of me. My tomatoes are still in their cups. Well actually they are ready to be in larger containers but I find it hard to motivate myself in this heat. Your pictures are good motivation though. Everything looks great.
Thanks for sharing all those wonderful photos - your eggplants look like small trees!
I have okra & Winter squash right now (I make fritters w/ the abundant male blossoms) & I'm harvesting ripe grapes, along w/ various herbs & chicories. Aconcagua peppers have been producing right along. I'm really pleased w/ this variety; it's tall & vigorous w/ large, sweet fruit & the Summer fruit flies seem to be leaving it alone.
Anxiously waiting on some ripening papayas - I grew 1 plant w/ no male for pollination, but fruit formed anyway - likely due to male trees in the neighborhood & helpful bees.
& FWIW, I neither hate nor love yard-long beans = J
Looking good Silvia, let me know how you do with Nyagous and Rosalita, I'm trying a half dozen new varieties this season, you know how that goes, you can never have too much color ;-)
Not sure this is going to work but I started some Solar Fire plants early, usually it's still too hot here in September for fruit bloom set, we'll see.
These currants will probably set fruit in September but only time will tell.
These tomatoes will come out from under the lights next weekend and out on the east side of the house with morning sun and afternoon shade.
These sweet peppers get potted up today and go outside.
I'll be starting some broccoli seed today too...getting excited about the fall season now!
Thank you Amber - I also think is very hot now that is why I have the tomatoes in the porch, they get afternoon shade. I actually saw the ripples today outside in the heat like you see in the desert, lol. At least we got AC.
Thank you Carol - I am glad to know that you are enjoying the fruits of your labor, grapes are tasty! and that remind me that we were going to the Lakeridge winery in Clermont for the festival but we thought it is just too hot to be enjoying the music outdoors.-(
Also have 1 papaya planted the variety Known You that I got it from Echo and it is really fruiting in the pot, I like that it is dwarf
And yes the eggplants are like a small trees and very productive!, some of them harvested
Thank you Tom - Your tomatoes look so good and well protected, I think you will do fine where you have them and if not you have the back ups. I have a lot of back ups too just in case anything happens to the ones in the big pots.
I just saw the Sara's Galapagos,lol. Let me know how you like them so I can tell my brother who was a Captain in the Navy going to the Galapagos all the time. When he was here visiting he was remembering how Cheryl as a 10 year old little girl had him locked out of the cabin and she had ordered all the sweets she could have, lol.
Have a great fall season!
Thank you Writersblock. I am making a vegetable soup today and will be using some callaloo, I have it soaking in salted water to be used in the soup.
Just picked callaloo leaves only, I think the stems can be used also but in this dish I am only using the leaves which are very soft and thin.
There are different amaranths in the market, look for the one that is called callaloo or that it says it is used in Jamaican cooking. I said this because I grew other varieties before and they are not the same.
The soup that I used butterbeans,some frozen tomatoes from the garden and the callaloo. I like it and I am sure it is very nutritious.
Hi Silvia, the Solar Fire and White Currants have been duds here so far, lots of blooms but no fruit set...night temps here still above 82-83. Only the Sara's Galapagos have set fruit so it's probably a variant that the Everglades comes from.
I'm ready to try the callaloo, I can probably grow it year around here, can you send me some seeds? Is it like amaranth? Kazillions of small black seeds from a fuzzy flower pod?
Things that are working out for me at this time of year are Diva peppers, basil, and that's really about it. I have sweet potatoes that I'm waiting to harvest, I have some malabar spinach which is a bit slimy, and I have some kale plants that are still alive. My theory is that I've kept them alive by leaving only two or three leaves on them at a time.
Sylvia, I've been wanting to ask you about fertilizing. How much, and what kind? I've been here 4 years now, but I still don't know where that line between too much and too little is. I've been using a dry organic fertilizer that I mix into my pots. Maybe about a half handful per 1 gal pot. I also seem to have a tendency to overwater, so I start out with the smaller pots. I grow most of my veggies in pots...
Hi Tom
I just walked around the garden after the rain and I notice that few tomatoes are setting fruit, the cherries, estiva and some hearts like Monokah Hat.
tomatoes are getting tall
Monokah Hat
Some black variety
And of course I can send you some seeds, callaloo is an amaranth so I believe that you are familiar with the growth habits and production, lol. In my experience I found that is too productive and I can not give away to anybody because they are not familiar with it.
On the other hand I highly recommend the green glaze collards that I can send you some seed if you want it. A lot of people love them! Last weekend I gave it to my neighbors that are native Floridians and they asked the same questions are this collards? they are so pretty! I gave them a big garbage bag full of them and that night they brought me some cooked to taste how they prepare it, they were delicious. Yesterday I gave them some collard seedlings that I had. I also planted some for the fall season.
I had the same experience when I planted the heat tolerant varieties in Arizona, they did the same like the regular varieties so I stopped planting them.
Tom, if you decide to try heart tomatoes, I can send you some of the Monokah variety, they always produce a good and early crop. Sometimes varieties that do well in short seasons climates like in Canada do well for me.
About the callaloo if you want to grow it, don't blame me because it is too productive and you can not keep with the harvest,lol
Hi Amber, I hope that all your crops are doing well and that fall comes soon.:)
Hi Jenny
When you grow in pots is a different type of growing like in a raised bed or soil. It also depends on what mix you are using to apply fertilizers, also depending on what crop you are growing. Regular bagged mixes have some fertilizers added that you can also supplement for heavy feeders such as tomatoes. I use Al' mix that you probably heard about it, if not it is in the container forum. I also add liquid fertilizers again depending on the veggie and what stage of development is for example for tomatoes I only apply in the beginning a nitrogen based fert, when flowers or fruit a low nitrogen one. I have few products that I use very diluted so they last a long time.
About the over watering, I wait till the pots I can see they change color in the mix, or lightweight and just before they wilt is time to water.
I only heard of the diva cucumbers , I did not know there is a diva pepper, I am glad that they are working out for you, where in zone 9b are you located?
Amber, if Maxine does not get back to you, I will save some seeds for you, however I warn you when planting greens they have to be picked often otherwise they can get buggy. Callaloo are one of those very productive! it can feed with greens a whole family, when I tried to give them away nobody took them because they don't know them or how to cook them.-(
Cammunizm, next time when we have a garden party, maybe you can come to meet other gardeners. Today I am going to visit the hydroponics store to see what is new and after that Vietnamese food, one of my favorites! but not the durian drink,lol.
Doh! I meant Marconi, not Diva peppers. Diva is on my mind because I'm trying it out. I'm near Tavares. Zone 9b is a guess based on survival rates. Al's mix is a revelation, I'm going to get some pine fines ASAP! Thanks so much for all the great advice.
Are your Marconi's mature or are they seedlings? I'm trying them for the first time and started some seeds a couple months ago. Had some problems with germination but they are finally growing...just not quite ready for the garden yet. If yours are mature are you happy with their production?
Yesterday I was very busy at the organic/hydroponics store and bought the usual products for the garden, they gave me some huge products to try and give them some feedback about how they work. They are liquid, organic fertilizers.
And after that I went to the Vietnamese restaurant where I had with my food the best mint I ever had sort of red leaves with green, I got a piece of it and I hope it survives, when talking there he said that is used as a medicine and gave me the recipe to try, it is a combo of herbs steamed. Then we talk about gardening in Vietnam and in Florida, very interesting.
Jenny - I use the 5-1-1 mix for all the container veggies, and add very diluted liquid fertilizers as needed. I am also growing Marconi peppers they do well here.
Here is a mix of peppers, some are the marconi
Tom - I will mail you the seeds, if you grow them in the container, they will do well for you, just remember they self seed and are about 4 feet tall, they don't need staking but if you worry about the wind you can probably put a tomato cage for support.
Julie - marconi peppers do well, if you put them in pots you can protect them when is cold.
Tom - I will mail you the seeds, if you grow them (callaloo) in the container, they will do well for you, just remember they self seed and are about 4 feet tall, they don't need staking but if you worry about the wind you can probably put a tomato cage for support.
Thanks Silvia, I can't wait to try them ;-)
If yours (Marconi peppers) are mature are you happy with their production?
Julie, The Giant Marconi Hybrid is the one that is most productive, but NOT this time of year yet, still too hot unless they are carry-overs from last year, and if so the peppers will be small unless they received supplemental nutrients. Start them now and carry them over to the spring, if not in an area where they get baked by the summer sun they will actually last through the summer such that you'll get TWO or THREE years out of them....
My Marconi's are mature -- and yes, I'm very happy with their production. They've produced all summer. I have about 7 plants and we've have a pepper or two for our lunchtime salad pretty much every day all summer. I got the seeds from Southern Seed Exchange. I'd love to know where to get Giant Marconi Hybrid seeds (or do you think they're the same).
I also have some California bell peppers that carried over from last year. They weren't nearly as productive.
Mindy, I live near-ish Deer Island. I've driven through Astatula to the post office, it's a nice area.
Thanks all for the info on the Marconi's. We've had decent luck with several variety of hot peppers but almost zero luck with any kind of traditional Bells so this fall I went with Marconi's as a test (Heirlooms from Baker Creek). We just set most of them in the garden over the last two weekends. We also have hoops over our beds and can cover with shade cloth or freeze fabric if the weather turns wicked like it did last December. We were just discussing the shade cloth the other day. It may be in order for the next few weeks until the sun turns off it's "Broil" setting. :)
...the Solar Fire and White Currants have been duds here so far, lots of blooms but no fruit set...night temps here still above 82-83. Only the Sara's Galapagos have set fruit so it's probably a variant that the Everglades comes from.
That's disappointing about Solar Fire Tom. I thought the whole point of Solar Fire was it claimed heat tolerance?
Hi Amber, somehow I missed your post. I'm done trying these things that are supposed to set fruit on blooms here when the temps are above 73F at night, they just don't work. Today I pulled the all the Solar Fire, White Currant and left only one Sara's Galapagos...I'll put my broccoli starts in those container soils since broccoli doesn't seem to be affected by nightshade plant soils :-)
Sorry to hear about your tomatoes Tom, more of mine are setting fruit so it must be getting cooler in my area.
Today it was a very busy day, had friends over at the house to celebrate the harvest from the garden.
We had a great time and the menu was perfect.
For appetizer we had brie in pastry with caramel and walnuts with sliced sand pears from the farm for dipping
Hickory smoked pork roast with spices and beer. Chimichurri sauce on the side.
Corn is in season so I made 2 corn dishes one a salad and other with beans using different herbs from the garden.
Sweet potato latkes with sour cream-lime dressing
Eggplant with frozen tomatoes from the garden
We made 2 desserts one was a meyer lemon tart
And the other a strawberry pavlova with mint
After showing them the garden we had a big splash! at least I did not have to water,lol.
Hope that you had a good and busy holiday too.
Beautiful pictures and garden. You really have green thumbs.
I noticed you ladies chatting about Seminole pumpkin so I am writing with a question hoping that you may know the answer: I got some of the prized seeds and planted them at the beginning of last Summer. The plant exploded covering half of my yard gave lots of beautiful flowers and started on dozens on pumpkins. Every time those pumpkins were the size of an apricot/peach they would yellow and ultimately fall off. The plant itself looked very vigourous. I ended up working out of town for almost two month and when I came back, the vine was still going strong and found ONE pumpkin the size of an apricot:-)
Any ideas as to what may have been happening?
Can Seminole pumpkin be planted now or I have to wait again until Spring?
Thanks a million for any ideas.
Hi Alexcortex
Thank you.
From what you said it looks that they were not getting pollinated, usually this happens at the beginning of the season and then they produce. Did you amend the soil, where did you get the seeds? if the vines were strong they probably had enough water.
It is too late to plant for my zone but if you don't get any frost, you can probably plant them now, just remember they take 100 days to grow. When you plant them again use a lot of compost and some vegetable fertilizer, it is very easy to grow as long as you have the right seeds, sometimes even the seed companies make mistakes.
The vines also took over in my small garden
And here are some seminole pumpkins
And today I am eating my first ripe tomatoes Golden Grape
Sun worshiper
I only had callaloo cooked, that is how is used on the Islands. In the recipes they always soak it in salted water before preparing. Since I don't know any one eating raw I have not tried the taste. When cooked it is milder and softer than spinach. Sometimes you can find callaloo in the West Caribbean market fresh or in a can. It is for sure the easiest thing to grow.
Here is a link that might be useful: callaloo
Two green thumbs up Silvia, as usual your food pictures are to die for! I don't need to say anything about the garden; it always speaks for itself ;-)
Angela, callaloo is edible leaf amaranth. There are many varieties of amaranth, and some are more suited to eating the greens.
Quote "The youngest leaves have a milder flavour and are good to use in salads, the mature leaves are better cooked like spinach. Anything you would use spinach for, just use amaranth leaves exactly the same way."
The best leaf amaranth I've found for salad thus far is the Tenderleaf from Evergreen.
Here is a link that might be useful: Amaranth
Hi Tom, thank you. I made up the recipe for the pork and came out really good! I hope that I can re create it again,lol.
I am harvesting black jungle butterbeans this week
I like them because I can freeze what I don't eat
And I am getting winter squash
Sapodilla is getting ripe
Fruitguy - Chinese spinach is considered an edible amaranth, I am including the link.
Flmamabear - Which type of seedlings are getting scorched? did you harden them off before putting them in full sun? if you give more info maybe we can help.
Here is a link that might be useful: chinese spinach
Sylvia: Thanks for the info on the Seminole and the beautiful pictures. I planted the three remaining seeds I have and one is a few inches long so hopefully it will survive. I will try feeding more often to see if it makes a difference. The pumpkins were actually forming then falling of so I did not have issue with flowering or pollination.. but the plants were possibly weak.
About callaloo/amaranth leaves: There are many varieties and I have eating raw the 4/5 that I planted. All nice in salad and the larger ones can be used as a wrap. I even got my mom to cook them as grape leaves rolls and they were delicious.
There are tons of recipes out there using amaranth leaves. One way to find them is to look up recipes using the Indian names. Apparently there are different names in different provinces: Thotakura is one that is used (Just search for Thotakura in google pictures and click on the picture that you like which will most of the time lead you to a recipe - Somehow the link will not work). Amaranth leaves is also very similar to a Middle Eastern green called Molokhiah aka Mulukhiyah aka... So any recipe for Molokhiah can be used with amaranth.
About amaranth seeds: I planted several varieties last year but the one that was most amazing came out of seeds I bought from the bulk bin at Who le Foods. I am pretty sure it was Golden Giant Amaranth and it was incredible. There were enough leaves to feed me, the neighbors, freeze, and an army of butterflies. At the end I was left with huge heads that must have each carried a pound or more of grains. Sadly they got hit by some fungus at the end of season and I was too exhausted with work and all to care so I left them die. And all I had was 6 stalks!
I heartily recommend planting callaloo to all. At least to feed the butterflies/ as a trap plant. If you plant it in a corner or a bed by itself most likely it will self seed endlessly. That is what my wild calallo does and I mostly use it for greens for my compost pile (decadent I know) and never have to feed it.
This is a recipe that fascinates me although I never used it:-)
The two main ingredients are callaloo, which obviously grows in abundance here, and pigeon pea flour, which makes a fantastic Summer crop (My 5 seeds grew with zero care and made about 1/2 pound of beans).
Here is a link that might be useful: Callaloo recipe
Hi Alexcortex
Thank you for sharing your experience with amaranth leaves and the recipes.
That is funny because yesterday I went to the Indian spice store, the Indian restaurant that is in the same shopping center and finish the trip with Whole Foods.
As I understand the many different plants are used for many purposes be eating the leaves or the grains.
In a Tucson, Arizona store that sells Native crops I bought one time popped amaranth grains to be eaten as a snack.
The kind of amaranth that I grew before the stalks are coarser than the leaves, and the leaves are even when small kind of limp, that is why I did not use it raw. Big difference with spinach here where the leaves can be used raw because they maintain their shape. I like to use all my senses when eating, it has to meet standards of looks, taste and of course nutrition.
I always have a stock of a number grains, beans especially different lentils to be used in recipes. They are some of my favorite combinations for food, only need to add any fresh veggies from the garden.
You should try the recipe that you posted, probably in the past I had something similar and it was good.
Shuffles - If you want them reseeding in the containers, just shake the blossoms and they will. If you want to save seed to be planted other time, just cut and save the dried blooms whole in a paper bag. When is time to plant them again, just shake the flowers...
Make some pepperpot soup with the leaves, you can use meat, chicken, or just veggies.:)

Helping people. Saving gorillas.™
Providing Africans in Rwanda and Congo with health care, clinics, medicines, clean water, and health education helps gorillas survive.
We work to protect gorillas in Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of Congo in a landscape that includes some of the most densely populated, and most troubled, areas in Africa. The parks where gorillas are protected are surrounded by communities of people whose poverty and poor health create threats to the animals and to the overall ecosystem shared by people and gorillas. When people are suffering from disease, they are not able to participate in conservation issues. In addition, human respiratory infections and intestinal parasites are easily transmitted to the gorillas.
Our community health programs seek to create a healthy environment for both people and gorillas by working with local communities to develop access to health care and clean water, and providing education about disease prevention and the significance of endangered species. This also helps create community support that is essential to successful conservation efforts. Our Ecosystem Health Program began in 1998 and has grown to include intestinal parasite treatment, hygiene education, clean water access, rehabilitation of rural health clinics, and education access for children.
Over the past several years, hundreds of thousands of people in Rwanda and the Congo have been helped through our Ecosystem Health Program.
The cold, wet climate and dense rainforest wears out the clothes and equipment of our patrols quickly. Help Us Remain Vigilant!
