LaCie 1TB SATA III SSD Thunderbolt Little Big Disk Hard Drive
LaCie 1TB SATA III SSD Thunderbolt Little Big Disk Hard Drive
Product Information
The LaCie Little Big Disk Thunderbolt Series hard drives feature a preconfigured RAID0 striped set with SSDs through the 10 Gbit/s Thunderbolt interface, enabling them to deliver astonishing transfer rates. SATA III SSDs deliver 35% more speed than the previous generation, achieving rates up to 635 MB/s*. So you can acquire, edit, and play back multiple uncompressed A/V streams directly from the drive with ultimate ease and portability
You can even daisy chain multiple LaCie Little Big Disks together to increase overall transfer rates. The more drives in the chain, the higher the performance. Daisy chain two LaCie Little Big Disks to maximize Thunderbolt interface capabilities and reach transfer rates of around 800 MB/s.
RAID for speed or security
Use Disk Utility on your Mac OS to configure the LaCie Little Big Disk into a RAID array that suits your needs. It's possible to set it up as a mirrored RAID set (RAID 1), which provides data protection if one disk fails. Alternatively, configure it as a striped RAID set (RAID 0) to maximize speed and capacity for large file storage and fast transfers.
Next-generation interface
Beyond performance, Thunderbolt technology is the most flexible interface ever created. Each cable provides two channels with 10 Gb/s bandwidth for both uplink and downlink. This means that you can push and pull video and data both ways without compromising bandwidth. As a result, you can better streamline your life at home and in the office. Simplify connections between your A/V devices and computer peripherals by daisy chaining them all together so you only need a single port on your MacBook. It's even backward compatible with Mini DisplayPort .
Featherweight powerhouse
The LaCie Little Big Disk is a portable powerhouse that fits in the palm of your hand. It features its own cooling system and can be connected to displays and MacBooks. So it's great for presenting work such as digital photo libraries to clients. Away from the studio, videographers can simply download footage directly from a compatible camera and start the editing process in the field. The SSD version will be popular with post-production teams thanks to its support for multiple uncompressed video streams and multichannel audio.
Aluminum reliability and security
Designed by Neil Poulton, the case's resilient aluminum armor protects the data inside whether the Little Big Disk is in the field or in transit. Its unique heat sink design provides 60% more surface area, which draws heat away from the internal components, keeping it cool and safe at all times. Plus the front power button allows you to turn off the Little Big Disk and save energy without breaking a daisy chain.
- SATA III SSD speeds up to 635 MB/s
- Perfect for creative pros on the go
- Dual Thunderbolt ports for daisy chaining
- Time Machine compatible
- Thunderbolt cable included
- Compact design easily goes anywhere
- Sturdy aluminum design with built-in cooling system

Clearly amazing on speeds namely when editing several streams at a time and when transfering data between my MBP retina display an d the big disk : i just have the feeling we finally got into the 21 st centery concerning data transfer...

Speed is great, but the disk is noisy.
Really annoying is that the drive does not mount flawless under Mountain Lion. I am using it as one disk with two Raid slices.

Main drive for 2012 iMac?
- Asked by Anthony T from San Francisco
- Jan 12, 2013
Alexander thanks for your reply.
Funny but I did decide on the Mercury Helios/Accelsior and it is very fast. It's not as fast as I was imagining (for $800) and I think that has to do with latency with Thunderbolt as I think you were suggesting- sustained reads and rights get a blazing 700 mbps so yes the target case is someone who has to do fast transfers and this is certainly blazing for that.
So that's 10 times faster than the stock HDD which gets in the 60s but Application loading and booting are definitely not 10 times faster but probably closer to 4 times faster (time to login screen went from one minute to fifteen seconds). I do agree now that the internal one would likely be faster but still it's a $1300 option.
The Mercury Helios is noisy...not super noisy by any means (I would have said really quiet before I owned my iMac) but when you're talking about an addition to a whisper quiet iMac it may be a concern. I got a 2 m thunderbolt cable so I may see about putting it a bit away off my desk. I'm also going to look into replacing the stock Helios fan with a super quiet fan. …- Answered by Anthony T from Cary

There is no HDD inside this product. For this product there are 2 500GB SSD devices inside, and the Apple Disk Utility formats these devices to act as one large 1TB drive in a RAID-0 configuration.
Perhaps you are thinking of the other 1TB or 2TB HDD configurations of this product which are also available at the Apple Store. …- Answered by Mike M from Beaverton

6. | Christopher Columbus | ||
An action taken on by a member of the male gender in which the male inserts his penis into the vagina of a virgin girl. Since Christopher Columbus sailed the seas and was the first to discover America it is only proper to name a sex act after him. Garrett is a sexually frustrated boy who wants to have sex with Kristina; Kristina knows this. However, Garrett thinks he is being slick and sly and hiding his fantasies very well.
Olivia: What is Garrett's deal? he seems really weird around you... Kristina: Yea, I know... He wants to Christopher Columbus my Vagina. Olivia: HOLY SH*T, I will not let him be your first!... I'll knock him out for you. |
1. | christopher columbus | ||
According to what school tells you: A great man who accidentally discovered America when no one else could find it. Reality: A greedy piece of genocidal shit who wasn't the first person to find America, the Native Americans discovered America before anyone else and after the Native Americans found America, vikings discovered America, and a several explorers found it too. But for some reason, Columbus ends up taking all the credit for something the Native Americans discovered.To add insult to injury, he ends up enslaving a bunch of Native Americans to take to Spain as slaves (this is 100% true) and his Spanish sailors and him killed approximately 8 million Native Americans (also true) Talk about some major bullshit. Teacher: And that's how Christopher Columbus discovered America when no one else did.
4th grader: *raises his hand* Teacher: Yes, Timmy? 4th grader: Didn't the Native Americans discover America first? Teacher: Nope, it was Columbus! 4th grader: I'm pretty sure it was the Native Americans. Teacher: I SAID IT WAS COLUMBUS!!! 4th grader: But- Teacher: THAT IS IT! YOU ARE GOING TO WRITE "Columbus discovered America, not the Native Americans." 50 TIMES!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |
2. | christopher columbus | ||
1.An Italian sailor who is wrongfully given credit for "discovering the New World."Most of our high school history textbooks make him out to be a hero, when really, he was a greedy and genocidal maniac who enjoyed raping children. He killed, with the help of his Spanish sailors, around 8,000,000 people in less than 10 years- and that was just on Haiti.
1. In fourteen hundred and ninety three
Christopher Columbus stole all he could see. |
3. | Christopher columbus | ||
Christopher Columbus is CREDITIED with discovering "the new world", but in fact, he didn't. Hey kids! Who found America!
2nd graders: Christopher Columbus! No! The Vikings! 2nd graders: o.o |
4. | christopher columbus | ||
Christopher Columbus was an Italian navigator in the service of Spain who opened the New World to exploration. On October 12, 1492 he landed on San Salvador Island in the Bahamas with 3 ships he commanded; the Niña, the Pinta, and the Santa María. This day is known as Columbus Day. Americans observe Columbus Day on the second Monday in October (the same day as Thanksgiving in Canada). Christopher Columbus was born on 1451 in Genoa, Italy and died on 1506 in Valladolid, Spain. His name is Cristóbal Colón in Spanish and Cristoforo Colombo in Italian.
5. | Christopher Columbus | ||
When you take a monster shit and it touches dry land. i.e. the dry part of the toilet. Dude I just dropped a Christopher Columbus in that bitches toilet. She's going to have to use the other end of the plunger to get that mother fucker down.
7. | Christopher Columbus | ||
Definition 1: To Christopher Columbus is to hostilely or non-hostilely acquire something by force or without permission, very much like a dictator. Definition 2: To be a stinky, smelly bastard Example 1: Carlos is sitting at the dinner table eating his jam-covered English Muffin.
Juan comes over, picks up the English Muffin and eats it while staring Carlos in the face "Yo homie, you totally just Christopher Columbused my muffin!"-Carlos "Yeah, well maybe you should have thought of that before you Christopher Columbused my girlfriend!"-Juan Example 2: The New World was Christopher Columbused, hostilely, by Christopher Columbus |

College Football Keeping Current Rules for Bowl Eligibility
By: Josh Rultenberg
Updated: August 1, 2012
By Jon Solomon -- The Birmingham News
BIRMINGHAM, Alabama -- College football plans to keep 6-6 records, not 7-5, the benchmark to qualify for a bowl once a four-team playoff starts in 2014.
Last winter, conference commissioners discussed increasing bowl-eligibility standards, a change that would kill some of the 35 postseason games. The status quo seems to have won.

Startup rocket company Space Exploration Technologies, which flies NASA cargo to the International Space Station, has landed its first launch contracts for the U.S. military, the company said on Wednesday.
The U.S. Air Force will pay $97 million for a Falcon 9 rocket to launch in 2014 the Deep Space Climate Observatory, a solar telescope that will be operated by NASA. It will also pay $165 million for a Falcon Heavy rocket for the military's Space Test Program-2 satellite, which is expected to fly in 2015.
Both spacecraft will be launched from Space Exploration Technologies' Cape Canaveral, Florida, site.

Teen's space mission fueled by social media
The company, also known as SpaceX, has been pursuing U.S. military launch business for years, hoping to break the monopoly held by United Launch Alliance, a partnership of Boeing and Lockheed Martin.
"SpaceX deeply appreciates and is honored by the vote of confidence shown by the Air Force in our Falcon launch vehicles," SpaceX founder and chief executive Elon Musk said in a statement.
In addition to a 12-flight, $1.6 billion space station cargo delivery contract with NASA, SpaceX has a backlog of about 20 commercial and non-U.S. government satellites and payloads to fly on its Falcon family of rockets over the next five years.
The privately owned company plans to begin using a second launch site at Vandenberg Air Force Base in California in 2013.
SpaceX also is one of three companies hired by NASA to design a spaceship that can fly astronauts to the station, a $100 billion research laboratory that flies about 250 miles above Earth.
SpaceX's Air Force contracts are part of a four-year, $900 million program that also includes Orbital Sciences Corp and Lockheed Martin, which is offering a new Athena rocket outside the United Launch Alliance partnership.

Barbecue enthusiast Bill Fletcher is the man behind a new Brooklyn eatery that puts its own unique spin on BBQ, with an emphasis on high-quality locally sourced ingredients.
"When we opened Fletcher's Brooklyn Barbecue, our goal was to create a classic counter service barbecue joint," Fletcher says. "We're in a urban setting here in Brooklyn, a little bit different than Memphis and Texas and Kansas City. We bring a lot of pork, brisket, ribs to the great neighborhood in Gowanus."
The wood used to make Fletcher's smoky BBQ comes from a farmer in upstate New York, and the J and R pit comes directly from Mesquite Texas.
"It's a full-on log-burning barbecue smoker with no gas and no interference between the wood smoke and the heat that comes with the fire and the interaction with the meat and the wood," says Matt Fisher, pitmaster at Fletcher's Brooklyn Barbecue. "So it's as close to an authentic live-fire barbecue product as you can get. That's what makes it special."
Another new BBQ hall is The Strand Smokehouse in Astoria, Queens, which serves up a mix of smokehouse classics.
"The feeling we're going for is definitely casual, kind of roadhouse-y, but we left enough room for strollers for brunch and we wanted to be 'neighborhood,'" says Eric Miley, chef at The Strand Smokehouse. "The wood is reclaimed, found here and there, guy in the neighborhood this, guy in the neighborhood that, and that's really what it's all about."
In addition to serving up a variety of hand-carved BBQ meats, the restaurant also offers an impressive selection of craft beers, bourbons and signature cocktails.
"The cocktail program taken care of by a great guy Dan Bronson, and the whiskeys, I mean, they're behind me and they speak for themselves," Miley says. "The artwork is great on the barrels. That's what's in there, and nobody else has that."

Police Report: Chain of Events After Petrino Crash
By: Adam Alter
Updated: April 9, 2012
King says he alerted his supervisor then went to pick up petrino. The coach was very bloody and barely able to speak, only groaning, says king.
While rushing petrino to the hospital, king says petrino said nothing about the accident except that a gust of wind blew him off the road.
The next day, monday the 2nd, a man named benjamin williams called king and said he's one of the people that picked petrino up after his crash. He asked if coach and his lady friend were okay. This contradicts later statements from the williams family who insisted petrino did not have a female with him.
Later in the afternoon, petrino spoke with king and asked to delay his interview with police until the next day after he'd been released from the hospital. The two made arrangements to conduct the interview after football practice on tuesday the 3rd. Coach petrino specifically asked if passenger information was required. King informed him police just needed the name and address. If they didn't have a name, the report would state "unidentified white female." king says he did not ask petrino the name, and petrino didn't ask him to keep her name off the report.
The following day, at approximately 3:45 in the afternoon, petrino held a press conference... Detailing the events of the crash.
He denied having anyone else on the motorcycle with him.
That evening, petrino did his interview with police. Then, he personally introduced the officers to his passenger, jessica dorrell.
Two days later on thursday at approximately 2:50 pm, king says he contacted petrino to inform him the police report would be released later that afternoon.

Catholic Online (www.catholic.org) Sugarhouse Casino has put up a reward for the capture of the robbery team. PHILADELPHIA, PA (Catholic Online) - The team is working the SugarHouse Casino and targeting people who win. When these patrons return home, they are robbed. So far the team is clearly connected to five robberies that have stolen $44,500 in cash. The team is also suspected in another five incidents.
All but one of the victims has been Asian. The casino has offered the $10,000 reward. Police say they have video of a suspect who was watching all the victims that have been targeted. They believe the suspect is a spotter who calls a pair of accomplices in the parking lot who then follow the victim home to rob. Several of the victims required hospital treatment following the attacks. Anyone with information is asked to call the police. � 2012, Distributed by NEWS CONSORTIUM. - - - Pope Benedict XVI's Prayer Intentions for January 2013 General Intention: The Faith of Christians.

Do JS Function on CTRL+O ?
Not specifically CTRL+O, but something like that. I want to perform a function, called schartupdate2() on a CTRL + something. Can anyone leave a sample code below?Thank's both of you :) But I tried both of them, but none seemed to work in Google Chrome. Can't you leave a very basic (working) code below?The problem with using Ctrl-O in Chrome is that is the browser shortcut key to open a file. I would recommend using Shift-O or some other letter (demo).
if (event.ctrlKey && event.which === 79) {

'PolitiFact' Faces Criticism From Liberals
Fact-checking sites like PolitiFact referee assertions by politicians, public figures and pundits. The fact-checking movement has been gaining momentum — and fans. But PolitiFact has come under fire after announcing its "Lie of the Year": a claim by some Democrats and liberals about a House Republican plan to change Medicare.

Hello, My Freaky Darlings. Welcome to Nevermore. A place unlike any other. A wondrous place where weird is the new normal and around every corner is a mystery. This is the place where creatures reside. My creatures. The range of characters that I role play covers a broad spectrum of mythical creatures, from Angels to Vampires and everything in between. Each of them have their own personalities, likes, dislikes, etc. But not all my characters are perfect, most of them have been through severe trauma throughout the years to add to their interesting outlook. I take pride in venturing into the Unknown and create life out of a simple idea. I am very skilled in role playing and things of that nature. I have actually written a couple of books based on my characters that I have created here. There are many characters that I have the pleasure of role playing, almost too many to list them. I can tell you that you'll have an awesome time with my people, so come on in and stop by Nevermore, they're just dying to meat you....(This is my rp blog, my personal blog is http://anitaweston.tumblr.com)

Liberty Traditional Saddleback students participated in "Love of Reading" the week of Feb. 11. The school had various community members visit and read to the students each of the five days.
On Feb. 14 Mayor Danny Ortega Jr. read to Mr. Ed Mealy and Ms. Johanna Ortiz's kindergarten class.
The students enjoyed the mayor reading "The giving tree" by Shel Silverstein and Dr. Seuss's "The cat in the hat".
"It's very important for the students to hear adults reading," Mealy said. "They need to know that successful people read."
"They (community) really support our school," he added.

4. | virgo | ||
The sixth of the 12 zodiac signs, represented by the virgin, which runs from August 24 to September 23. Virgo is an earth sign.
1. | Virgo | ||
The 6th Sign of The Zodiac.
Virgos are the Sexiest Sign in all The Zodiac. It is the only Zodiac sign represented by a female. "The Virgin. "They are called the Virgins, but that dosent mean they act like one" Virgos are actually quite sexual and love to please their partner over and over but they are not sluts, they would only do this when they are in a committed long-term relationship. They are a mutable earth sign (which means they adapt to change easily). Virgos tend to be organized, intelligent and helpful. Not all Virgos are like that (im Virgo and im messy and unorganized) There are many more factors that determine your personality besides your sun sign such as rising sign, moon sign, etc. Virgos are born Aug 22 - Sept 23
2. | Virgo | ||
Virgo is the sixth sign of the Western zodiac. It is the only sign represented by a female. Virgo is a low-intensity, female, mutable earth sign, which basically means that it runs through the autumn equinox. This makes Virgoans able to see both sides of a situation. (Other mutable signs include Gemini, Pisces, and Sagittarius.) Virgo is theoretically most compatible with Taurus, Capricorn, Scorpio, and Cancer. It is most incompatible with Gemini, Sagittarius, and Pisces. Virgos are usually neat, organized, intelligent people. They like to be busy and have order in their lives. They are usually not sexually promisicuous (Of course, this depends on other factors in their charts). Virgos are gifted with a keen analytical ability, which is a reason why they cannot get along with Pisces- these two signs are in opposition! Virgo sees the details while Pisces sees the big picture. Virgos have a servile nature and like cleanliness and health food. Virgos are seen as the "Virgin", but when these signs were named, a virgin meant "to be able to say no". Virgo was also once the sign of the fertility of the Earth. A person's sun sign is Virgo if they are born between August 22nd and September 23rd. People born on the cusps are often jokingly called "Leegos" or "Vlibras". Lol!
Virgo is square to Gemini and Sagittarius, and in opposition to Pisces. However, Virgo is trine to Capricorn and Taurus, and sextile to Scorpio and Cancer. I am a Sun in Virgo/Moon in Virgo, but I am a very messy person! Although I demonstrate Virgoan characteristics, my outward personality (Aka ascendant) is Gemini, so I tend to exhibit Gemini characteristics. A good place to find out more about yourself in astrology is www.cafeastrology.com |
3. | Virgo | ||
anyone born between August 23 and September 22. quite sexy people(especially females) Mayra is the hottest chick ever,and she wants to please me as well. She's a keeper,and a Virgo!
5. | Virgo | ||
1) A zodiac constellation located between Leo (west) and Libra (east). Usually associated with various fertility or agricultural goddesses, but due to the close proximity of Libra (the scales), it is sometimes associated with goddesses of justice. Often depicted as a woman holding either an ear of wheat and a palm frond, or the scales that form the constellation Libra. 2) The 6th astrological sign of the western zodiac, represented by the symbol ♍, and linked to the constellation Virgo. 3) A person born in the time of the year in which the sun transits the area of the sky containing the Virgo constellation, usually between 23 August and 22 September, although some slight variation is possible. 4) A Latin word meaning virgin, usually a female but can refer to a male. Can also be used as an adjective to describe an object which is pure or unused. 5) A surname of medieval English origin, derived from the Latin word. 6) A genus of moths of the Noctuidae family. 1) Spica is the brightest star in the constellation Virgo.
2) Virgo is the mutable earth sign of the western zodiac. 3) Queen Elizabeth I was born on 7 September 1533, and so is a Virgo. 4) The Virgin Mary translates as Virgo Maria in Latin. 5) Graham Virgo is a Professor in Law at the University of Cambridge. 6) Virgo datanidia is the scientific name for a species of moth. |
6. | Virgo | ||
A person born August 23rd - September 22nd who is a micro-manager and a worrier, they have a stick up their ass all the time. Classic example of Virgo: Charlie Sheen, your mother

Bossa & Balanco
LP (Item 3397) Schema (Italy), 1997 — Condition: New Copy
Mindblowing work from the early years of Schema Records – a set that really helped set a whole new tone for a generation – and which still sounds wonderful all these many hears later! Balanco work up a perfect blend of bossa rhythms and soulful jazz – all wrapped up with the kind of slinky, sexy vibe the Italian scene first perfected back in the 60s – when they were borrowing lots of Brazilian elements for their best soundtracks! Balanco's sound here really recalls those glory days – mixing together sweet female vocals, lively bossa rhythms, and great work on Fender Rhodes – all under the guidance of Nicola Conte, who manages to make everything sound beautiful together. Highlights include versions of Morricone's "Metti Una Sera A Cena" and the classic "Cinnamon & Clove" – and the vinyl version features 4 more tracks, "Balanco", "Fantasia", "Aguadream", and "Blue Skat Samba". © 1996-2013, Dusty Groove, Inc. |

Thanks to Denise Davis for her interest in our young people, as expressed in her letter (Herald, Nov. 9), �Family, societal influences hamper students.� She mentions declining test scores may be linked to the escalation of drug and alcohol addiction. From reading the headlines, one might think that substance use among the young simply increases every year. Fortunately, our perceptions do not always match reality.
Case in point is that in La Plata County, youngsters� (grades six through 12) substance use has decreased during the last two years. The three school districts participate in the biennial Healthy Kids Colorado Survey, and results from the 2011-12 La Plata County survey showed 30-day cigarette use decreased 33 percent, alcohol use decreased 16 percent and marijuana use decreased 6.6 percent. While there may be many reasons this is happening, one is surely the increased awareness that adults have a role in building developmental assets for our young people that in turn reduces risk-taking behavior such as substance abuse.
Some examples of how local adults are doing this include being positive role models, being that one caring adult for a child who is not his or her own and by fostering positive family communication and setting clear rules. Hats off to the �Lasso Tobacco � Celebrating Community Norms Coalition and the Children, Youth and Family Master Plan� for spreading the assets message in our community.

Welcome to MURDER BY TYPE, a place to discuss mysteries and authors and the things that draw us to our favorite books. Is it location? Is it the type of protagonist? I am drawn to police procedurals and books with private or amateur investigators. Unfamiliar locations carry the plus of teaching about cultures and customs. Favorite authors include Leighton Gage, Timothy Hallinan, Cara Black, Yrsa Sigurdardottir, Michael Stanley, Dan Waddell, Donna Leon, Libby Fischer Hellman, Martha Grimes, Kathy Reichs and the list goes on and on.

Ilhabela (Sao Sebastiao), Brazil
The island of Sao Sebastião was named by Amerigo Vespucci. It is the largest in an archipelago of beach-blessed islands off the coast of Brazil halfway between Rio and São Paulo. Like its neighbor Búzios, its main attractions are the sea and sand, and watersports of every stripe. The island does have a nice slice of native Atlantic rain forest habitat, recognized by UNESCO as a biosphere resource. Another option is to explore the colonial buildings in the small town.

text: By Eddy I never got into Star Wars books. From my perspective they were basically fan fiction. Just some writers fancy of what the rest of the story would be after the movies, but low in behold, I find that there is an entire universe of books, comics and other lore making up an entire universe. Of course, everything is tightly monitored and organized by George Lucas (or at least his company to ensure that continuity is kept throughout each story and character). Unfortunately, with this revelation regarding size and depth of the Star Wars world, it make it a significant barrier for a newbie like me to just jump in and start reading. There has to be over 50 books, and series each with hundreds of characters and back stories, and with character appearing and reappearing in different series and different points in time. There is material ranging from before A New Hope (the first movie) started to up to forty year later. Needless to say, I was a bit apprehensive when I … [Read more...]

Quotes from authors born on Nov 28th
Good judgment comes from experience, and often experience comes from bad judgment.
Rita Mae Brown
It is easier to forgive an enemy than to forgive a friend.
William Blake
What is a wife and what is a harlot? What is a church and what is a theatre? are they two and not one? Can they exist separate? Are not religion and politics the same thing? Brotherhood is religion. O demonstrations of reason dividing families in cruelty and pride!
William Blake
I believe the true function of age is memory. I'm recording as fast as I can.
Rita Mae Brown
My first paid acting job was a movie called Fandango. It also starred Kevin Costner.
Judd Nelson


text: Handley Best "We just still look back and marvel at the way it was done. They had to physically build a classroom, a type of mock-up of a bus in the classroom, and give us money to play with. Because in Barbados was dollars and cents, and the transition from dollars and cents to pounds, shillings and pence at that time was difficult. You knew that if anybody gave you a pound then and they wanted a shilling fare that you had to give them back nineteen shillings. But to find nineteen shillings physically that you've never seen before took a lot of getting used to. So we had to practise that in the classroom before we were kind of let loose on the public." |

Nudie Fruit

Do you seriously have three hundred bananas?
*faints* - March 29, 2011 at 10:23 PM
- Elaine coolowl said...
I'll bet it was the best Banana-flavour you've ever tasted!
If they are starting to ripen up now then the lot will follow quite quickly. Chopping one fruit off per day (even if the bunch has slightly less than 299!) you will get behind, or, they will beat you to it and start dropping off the bunch all by themselves. When Bananas start to ripen they do it at speed! *One* between 3 of you :-O how can you stop at one? :-) - March 29, 2011 at 11:04 PM
- Little Blue Mouse said...
I should think it is very exciting to eat your home grown banana!
You'll be seeking out banana recipes before long to use them up. - March 29, 2011 at 11:46 PM
- Enchanted Moments said...
Nice Nudie Narna....how wonderful to fang into your own home grown narna....that beats an eggplant any day Ali....
I hope those boys of yours tuck one in their lunch boxes and tell everyone that their mum grew this banana....x - March 30, 2011 at 12:07 AM
- Enchanted Moments said...
I just had a thought, they arnt hanging over your fence anywhere are they,,? You know what some people are like at stealing fruit....
- March 30, 2011 at 12:08 AM
- Mark Willis said...
Well! It sounds as if it was worth the wait. I am trying to imagine the scene as you all reverently awaited a slice (almost like the communion wafer, perhaps?). Now don't forget to keep the peel and make potassium-rich plant-food with it like our friend Fer from "My Little Garden In Japan" told us...
- March 30, 2011 at 5:13 AM
- Jodie said...
HOORAY! What a moment : )
- March 30, 2011 at 6:30 AM
- Ali said...
Nah Kat, I just made that up! I think there would be more like around 150, spread out over four plants... I just thought 299 to go sounded good!
Elaine the bunch isn't ripening as such, and the one we ate yesterday I had cut down the week before... so I thought one at a time until the bunch shows signs of ripening (or bats!). And yes, it was spectacular!
LBM I cannot wait until they ripen and surplus is upon us! My elder boy adores bananas, so hopefully he can help keep them under control.
Suzanne, cheeky miss. In fact one bunch are hanging over the fence into our neighbour's yard... and I have promised it to them. There is also another near the footpath, but you'd have to be mr tickle to reach them... but you know what people are like, they're likely to pop their kid on their shoulders to get to them!
Mark, the pomp and ceremony was perhaps not quite as formal as I would have liked, but well, we did our best at short notice... I will have to have a look into Fer's plant food, although I am a little terrible with compost and end up giving everything to the chickens. Bad gardener.
And Jodie, YAY! I got a whole bunch of limes the other day too, and all I can think of is lime sorbet, lime sorbet :) - March 30, 2011 at 6:49 AM

Top banana, Ali!

Another gorgeous pic of your garden produce, Ali. I would love to grow bananas here, but it is simply to cold. You had better get your recipes organised to utilise as many of those gorgeous bananas before they go past their inbuilt use by date! I wonder if you could just mash the uber ripened ones and freeze them for out of season muffins or banana bread?
- March 30, 2011 at 6:57 AM
- Ali said...
Thanks Mal!
Daffodil, do bananas have a season? I have no idea actually! I have four plants that are fruiting now and have been doing so for several months, and then I have three or four more that will fruit soon... do you think it's possible to just keep them coming all year round? - March 30, 2011 at 7:13 AM
- duchess_declutter said...
I'd call that a pretty hunky 'nana Ali. Sweet and lucious. Well done - heaps better than our scrawny bunches. You must feed yours well? I'm going through the banana recipes at the moment - banana smoothies are the easiest!!
- March 30, 2011 at 7:47 AM
- Shady Gardener said...
This is just amazing - and what a wonderful treat to be able to grow your own bananas! (I heart bananas!) :-)
- March 30, 2011 at 10:23 AM
- africanaussie said...
I just picked one of my pawpaws that is eventually starting to colour up - I think all this rain stopped them from ripening. That is one tasty looking banana

You have to sing this like Beethoven would have written it .....Ba Na Na Na! Ba Na Na Na!
- March 30, 2011 at 12:00 PM
- HAZEL said...
That first photo had me licking the screen! By the way, The Cook says she posted your pavlova ages ago. Can't trust Australia Post. If it ever arrives, you can slice some banana on it. That is if the cream is still fresh.
- March 30, 2011 at 12:01 PM
- Kat said...
150 bananas is still enough to make my jaw drop! I'm dreaming of all the banana cake and smoothies... nommm.
- March 30, 2011 at 12:37 PM
- Ali said...
Kat, I have to confess, I like bananas, but not banana products... I'd better learn to pretty quickly hey!
Hazel you good looking young thing, I have posted on your blog exactly what I think of the cook and her postal excuse... although I didn't thank you for the banana idea. Obviously the cook will post me another, so I'll cut down another banana today in readiness.
And your Beethoven is superb - I know you taught Italian, but surely music was in there too??
AA, how do the paw paws go up there? They are my pop up fruit, ie they are everywhere here, the last owner must have planted one edible, and it had to be paw paw! Hee hee, I don't love it... but I am trying. I want to try it green and grated in a salad, have you tried it?
SG, I would like nothing more to share them with all of you... you are right, I am lucky... I'd be even luckier if the bunches would hurry up and ripen!
DD, I don't feed them... nothing at all, I don't even water them, they just get what they are given by nature. It's interesting to see the difference in growth though, I have bananas in seven different spots, and some spots they are struggling, others they are going bananas. Oh that was funny. I didn't think yours looked scrawny at all, although right now I think I am actually remembering your sweet potatoes and how fabulous they were. - March 30, 2011 at 7:36 PM
- Gooseberry Jam said...
I think that is one perfect looking Banana! It's making my mouth water....It's been ages since I have had a Banana! Let us know when you get sick of eating them and we'll all be round there in a flash to finish them off for you... :)
- March 31, 2011 at 9:44 PM
- Mrs Bok - The Bok Flock said...
Oh that looks like the perfect banana to me! And I don't really like bananas unless they are perfect! I think banana flowers are the most beautiful things...
- March 31, 2011 at 9:47 PM
- Ali said...
Thanks guys, if I win the lottery I am flying everyone here for a big blogging party and you can all take a banana home instead of a party bag :)
