Tired of reading lengthy Python tutorials? Perhaps you are. Then, you must go through the collection of top ten Python coding tips explained in this post. It's the result of a through research and qualitative filtering.
Such quality tips and tricks not only help those who need them for quick interview preparation but solve problems of the ones working on live projects. The reason these tips are so resourceful because we keep them archiving as keynotes since we started learning Python.
It's a habit that you should also develop as it helps in quick revision of the concepts learned. And the same keynotes you can refer at any point of time in future.
So in this post, we're sharing a list of ten must know Python coding tips for quick reference. Some of these tips we choose from a webinar we recently attended. And some we took as notes from the top online resources like Stack Overflow and Wikipedia, which we visit quite often to seek Python help.
For your information, we've thoroughly verified each of the python codings tips before adding them to this post. And it's just the first set of tips and tricks that we are sharing today. There will be more such posts for developers and QA engineers to help with tips.
In case you are a seasoned Python programmer, you may already know most of these. But you would still find few of them quite useful. If you are a QA guy and going to start python automation, then these tips will be extremely handy for your projects.
Next to update you that we've explained the python coding tips via examples with a brief explanation for clarity. While we tried our best to make them simpler and clear but some of them might still appear a little complicated. So you are welcome to use Google for more information on it.
The reason we bring this python tutorial is its popularity as a programming language that lets you work more quickly. Look around and you will find it running everywhere, from various configuration tools to XML parsing.
There are also different versions of Python available, but most users prefer to use Python 2.x and 3.x. All of our coding tips should work on either of these two versions.
For our readers who are planning for a Python interview, we suggest them to read our recently published posts on Python programming which are as follows.
#Advanced Python Programming – 30 Tips for All Python Users.
#Want to Crack Your Python Interview – Read This.
#Python Programming Quiz – Recommended for Python Beginners and Experienced.
Let's now dig into the ten essential Python coding tips especially for the testers and the Python programming beginners. Even the experienced users can find these tips as useful.
Python Coding Tips – Essential for Beginners and Experienced.
1. Running Python scripts.
On most of the UNIX systems, you can run Python scripts from the command line in the following manner.
# run python script $ python MyFirstPythonScript.py
2. Running Python programs from Python interpreter.
The Python interactive interpreter is very easy to use. You can try your first steps in programming and use any Python command. You just type the command at the Python console, one by one, and the answer is immediate.
Python console can be started by issuing the command:
# start python console $ python >>> <type commands here>
In this article, all the code starting at the >>> symbol is meant to be given at the Python prompt. It is also important to remember that Python takes tabs very seriously – so if you are receiving any error that mentions tabs, correct the tab spacing.
3. Using enumerate() function.
The enumerate() function adds a counter to an iterable object. An iterable is an object that has a __iter__ method which returns an iterator. It can accept sequential indexes starting from zero. And raises an IndexError when the indexes are no longer valid.
A typical example of the enumerate() function is to loop over a list and keep track of the index. For this, we could use a count variable. But Python gives us a nicer syntax for this using the enumerate() function.
# First prepare a list of strings subjects = ('Python', 'Coding', 'Tips') for i, subject in enumerate(subjects): print(i, subject)
# Output: 0 Python 1 Coding 2 Tips
4. The data type SET.
The data type "set" is a kind of collection. It has been part of Python since version 2.4. A set contains an unordered collection of unique and immutable objects. It is one of the Python data types which is an implementation of the <sets> from the world of Mathematics. This fact explains, why the sets unlike lists or tuples can't have multiple occurrences of the same element.
If you want to create a set, just use the built-in set() function with a sequence or another iterable object.
# *** Create a set with strings and perform search in set objects = {"python", "coding", "tips", "for", "beginners"} # Print set. print(objects) print(len(objects)) # Use of "in" keyword. if "tips" in objects: print("These are the best Python coding tips.") # Use of "not in" keyword. if "Java tips" not in objects: print("These are the best Python coding tips not Java tips.")
# ** Output {'python', 'coding', 'tips', 'for', 'beginners'} 5 These are the best Python coding tips. These are the best Python coding tips not Java tips.
# *** Lets initialize an empty set items = set() # Add three strings. items.add("Python") items.add("coding") items.add("tips") print(items)
# ** Output {'Python', 'coding', 'tips'}
5. Dynamic typing.
In Java, C++, and other statically typed languages, you have to specify the data type of the function return value as well as the kind of each function argument. On the other hand, Python is a dynamically typed language. In Python, you don't explicitly provide the data types. Based on the value you've assigned, Python keeps track of the datatype internally. Another good definition of dynamic typing is as follows.
"Names are bound to objects at run-time with the help of assignment statements. And it is possible to attach a name to the objects of different types during the execution of the program."
The following example demonstrates how a function can examine its arguments. And do different things depending on their types.
# Test for dynamic typing. from types import * def CheckIt (x): if type(x) == IntType: print("You have entered an integer.") else: print("Unable to recognize the input data type.") # Perform dynamic typing test CheckIt(999) # Output: # You have entered an integer. CheckIt("999") # Output: # Unable to recognize the input data type.
6. == and = operators.
Python uses '==' for comparison and '=' for assignment. Python does not support inline assignment. So there's no chance of accidentally assigning the value when you want to compare it.
7. Conditional Expressions.
Python allows for conditional expressions. Here is an intuitive way of writing conditional statements in Python. Please follow the below example.
# make number always be odd number = count if count % 2 else count - 1 # Call a function if the object is not None. data = data.load() if data is not None else 'Dummy' print("Data collected is ", data)
8. Concatenating strings.
You can use '+' to concatenate strings in the following manner.
# See how to use '+' to concatenate strings. >>> print('Python' + ' Coding' + ' Tips') # Output: Python Coding Tips
9. The __init__ method.
The __init__ method is invoked soon after the object of a class is instantiated. The method is useful to perform any initialization you plan. The __init__ method is analogous to a constructor in C++, C# or Java.
# Implementing a Python class as InitEmployee.py class Employee(object): def __init__(self, role, salary): self.role = role self.salary = salary def is_contract_emp(self): return self.salary <= 1250 def is_regular_emp(self): return self.salary > 1250 emp = Employee('Tester', 2000) if emp.is_contract_emp(): print("I'm a contract employee.") elif emp.is_regular_emp(): print("I'm a regular employee.") print("Happy reading Python coding tips!")
The output of the above code would look like as given below.
[~/src/python $:] python InitEmployee.py I'm a regular employee. Happy reading Python coding tips!
10. Modules.
To keep your programs manageable as they grow, you may want to break them up into several files. Python allows you to put multiple function definitions into a file and use them as a module. You can import these modules into other scripts and programs. These files must have a .py extension.
# 1- Module definition => save file as my_function.py def minmax(a,b): if a <= b: min, max = a, b else: min, max = b, a return min, max
# 2- Module Usage import my_function x,y = my_function.minmax(25, 6.3) print(x) print(y)

The Colorado Legislature has proposed a series of deep budget cuts that could cause rural hospitals across the state to close.
As Colorado Public Radio reports, lawmakers have come up with a budget that would eliminate over a quarter-billion dollars' worth of funding for hospitals. All told, the cuts could actually total over half a billion dollars, because Colorado would be missing out on Federal matching funds. The cuts are being prompted by tax limits that were approved by Colorado voters.
There are at least eight rural hospitals in Colorado that have been operating on shoestring budgets, and for those facilities this budget could sound the death knell.
The uncertainty for these rural hospitals is being played out against a backdrop of further cuts—possibly catastrophic ones—being suggested by Republicans in the U.S. Congress, with the potential repeal of the Affordable Care Act. The law has been a boon to rural hospitals in states like Colorado, which expanded Medicare under the A.C.A.. That's because more people have insurance under Obamacare, and these hospitals are thus receiving more compensation.

I'm using Linux, and I've installed GlassFish 3.1 outside of Eclipse. It starts fine with asadmin start-domain.
In Eclipse Helios I've installed the latest version of the GlassFish tools, server adapter etc. I've added a "Server" instance for my external GlassFish, but when I try to start it, the Eclipse Console says "Waiting for domain1 to start ......" – more and more dots are printed while I wait for several minutes. Eventually there's a dialog saying "Server GlassFish 3.1 at localhost failed to start."
At no point is http://localhost:8080 responding.
There is no other errors messages that I can find. The server log (glassfish/domains/domain1/server.log) prints the long startup command, and then:
Feb 28, 2011 10:48:45 PM com.sun.enterprise.admin.launcher.GFLauncherLogger info
INFO: Successfully launched in 3 msec.
The GlassFish installation is entirely stock, with no applications loaded. It works fine when started from the command line outside of Eclipse.
I've tried to reinstall GlassFish to different locations, I've reinstalled Eclipse with no plugins except the GlassFish stuff.
The strange thing is that the "Internal GlassFish 3.1" server, which is distributed with the Eclipse plugin and lives inside eclipse/plugins, works just fine and starts up very snappily. But I'd really like to have an external GlassFish that I can easily run independently of Eclipse when I want to.
Help much appreciated!

Exactly Craig. Also, wandering around with a beer in your hand to meet everyone is a favorite thing to do. Stop by our camp, I've got beer and cocktails to share! ..... See you all this weekend!!
Hi All, I just joined the "VW Camper Family" group. My wife and five-year-old son will join the event for the first time. I have a few questions. What time will we be able to get into the park on Friday? The park website says 1p. Do all the campsites have fire rings/grills and picnic tables? Should we bring our own firewood? I wasn't sure if it will be sold there since this is pre-season. Thanks!
Each campsite has a fire ring, you can buy firewood there, don't know the price, but it's reasonable. He also rents inner tubes for the river.
"What time are people arriving? Can we get into the campground before 3p? The Schoolhouse park website lists check in at 1p."
Richard - it's probably open by now. He opens early for us.
Anyone know the cost for weekend camping? Or do regular rates apply? Thanks
To the best of my memory from last year, the regular rates apply.
Sad not to be able to attend this year. Too much going on with selling up to go home. This is my favourite camping weekend and best people of all my time in CA. Thank you for all the nice times, great conversations and happy memories I'll be taking back to England. This is just one of those moments!

Slovak Savings Bank has quite a deal on 24- and 30-month CD rates for Pennsylvania savers.
It's paying 1.91% APY for 24-month CDs, and 2.11% for 30-month CDs. Both require a $500 minimum deposit.
The top nationally available 24-month CD is paying only 1.66% APY. (I know, hard to believe, but you can see for yourself in our latest ranking of the best 2-year CD rates.)
If you already have an account of some kind at Slovak Savings Bank, you can buy these certificates of deposit through the mail.
But if you're a new customer you must make the purchase in person at the bank's single office, 2470 California Ave. in Pittsburgh.
Compare these returns with the best CD rates from scores of banks in our extensive database.

Scope of energy performance regulations
Technical, functional or economic unfeasibility
The recently introduced Decree-Law 194/2015 made a number of changes to Decree-Law 118/2013 and Decree-Law 53/2014.
Decree-Law 118/2013 provides the legal framework for the energy performance of buildings. It was enacted to transpose EU Energy Performance Directive (2010/31/EC) into national law and implemented the National System for the Energy Certification of Buildings, which is divided into the Regulation on Energy Performance of Residential Buildings and the Regulation on Energy Performance of Non-Residential Buildings.
Decree-Law 53/2014 provides a transitory regime that applies to the restoration of buildings or apartments built over 30 years ago or located in areas of urban renewal that are used mainly for housing.
Main changes
The changes that Decree-Law 194/2015 introduced were motivated by the need to improve energy efficiency, specifically the energy performance of buildings, and the need to update Decree-Law 118/2013.
The changes aim to increase the demand for energy efficiency, which may prove crucial to achieving the 2020 national energy efficiency targets. Further, the changes aim to reflect the international community's guidelines and best practice in accordance with up-to-date technology and know-how in the energy efficiency and thermal comfort sectors as well as World Health Organisation reference values.
Scope of Decree-Law 118/2013
Previously, the scope of Decree-Law 118/2013 excluded industrial, agricultural or livestock facilities and buildings used as warehouses, car parking or workshops. However, pursuant to the changes introduced by Decree-Law 194/2015, the criteria for such exclusions are stricter. Exclusions for such cases under Decree-Law 118/2013 now cover only:
- non-residential industrial, agricultural or livestock facilities which have reduced energy needs or are used in an activity already subject to a sectorial agreement on energy performance; and
- buildings used as warehouses, car parking or workshops with a human presence of not more than two hours per day.
Scope of energy performance regulations
The scope of the Regulation on Energy Performance of Residential Buildings and the Regulation on Energy Performance of Non-Residential Buildings was widened by restricting exemptions. Monuments and buildings that are classified, awaiting classification or of special architectural or historic interest are exempt from these regulations only if compliance with certain minimum energy performance requirements could alter their character or appearance in an unacceptable way.
The legislature's aim to reduce the number of exemptions is clear, but the law provides no definition of what constitutes an unacceptable change to a building's character or appearance, which may pose some difficulties regarding enforcement.
Technical, functional or economic unfeasibility
Under the changes introduced by Decree-Law 194/2015, an existing building that undergoes major renovations may be exempt from the energy and thermal efficiency requirements of Decree-Law 118/2013 only for reasons of technical, functional or economic unfeasibility, as recognised by the General Directorate for Energy and Geology (which manages the National Energy Certification System).
If the directorate recognises an instance of technical, functional or economic unfeasibility, the technical author of the project may implement alternative solutions for the building or area in question, provided that it can prove the unfeasibility of compliance with Decree-Law 118/2013 and that the alternative solutions proposed will not aggravate the building's energy performance, circumstances which must be documented in the building's energy performance certificates.

Growing up Hummingbird was aware of her Choctaw heritage but was not raised around the culture. For as long as she could remember there had been something missing in her life. It was not until she cried out to Creator for help in finding her true self, her purpose, and her destiny.
It was then that Creator led her to walk the good red road, which in turn filled the emptiness that plagued her life. Creator has blessed Deerheart with the gift of listening to her ancestors.
With the guidance of her ancestors, Deerheart has created her own business in which she designs both Traditional and Contemporary American Indian Regalia. She is a Member of the White Horse Nation (Educating the Community) and The Women's Shell Shakers Society ~ Lake Geneva: Fund Raiser.
Deerheart has volunteered her services to projects such as the Oneida Cultural Project (Wisconsin) and the Pow-Wow circuit: Midwest Soaring, Aurora, Pleasant Prairie, MacTown, Eagle Creek, Jolie, Fredricksburg and University of Illinois Chicago.
Hummingbird plans to continue to reach out to the people through her business, speaking engagements (educational), workshops and remains on the "Walk on the Ancient Red Road" that Creator has blessed her to be on.

The Town
Located at 275 m. above sea level, in the heart of the La Marina district, Benissa is full of pleasant surprises. A quiet stroll through the ancient, well-preserved town centre will enable you to discover a rich array of monumental buildings and cultural references that form part of the town's history: the old Labour Exchange (Lonja de Contratación), now an ethnological museum, the Convent...
The Coast
Four kilometres of coastline, interrupted by cliffs and rocks, wind their way past Benissa, offering hidden comes and tiny bays where the water is clear and calm (La Fustera, Les Bassetes, Abogat, Pinets, Baladrar, La Lloabella). This stretch of the coast id like an ecology path along the Mediterranean, where natural resources and scenery have been left intact. And thanks to the benign climate, with cooling breezes in summer and mild temperatures in winter, Benissa offers a year-round spring for residents.
Benissa has an extensive calendar of festivities celebrating many occasions. January brings the traditional Fira i Porrat de Sant Antoni with an extensive activities programme spanning a twenty-day period. On the fourth Sunday of April, the town feast is held in honour of the Puríssima Xiqueta, the "Immaculate Child". The Feast of the Moors and Christians is held in June, honouring St. Peter.
What to do?
Enjoy the peace and quiet of hidden coves with clear, refreshing water. Take a stroll to the outskirts of town and see Santa Ana, which has a hermitage dating from the 16th century and a picturesque fountain. View the Convent of the Franciscan Fathers (17th century), dedicated to the Virgin Mary.
Commune with nature on a walk through the Sierra de Bernia, and try some crisp cool water from the mountain springs. Make your way to the other side of the mountain through a tunnel popularly know as the "hole" ( el forat ).
Make an excursion along the coast, stopping at the lookout points to admire the beauty of Benissa's natural coastline.
Where to go?
Drive through the Valle del Po, stopping off at villages along the way: Llíber, Jalón, Alcalalí
(6, 8 and 12 km respectively).
Shop for some typical hemp, wickerwork and esparto goods in Gata de Gorgos (12 km).
Climb up to the Castle of Denia and view the bustling town down below (30 km).
Make an outing to Xàbia, visit the port and have a picnic on the Cape of San Antonio or La Nao (20 km).
Conquer the Rock of Ifach in Calpe, Gibraltar's younger brother on the eastern seaboard
(9 km).
Drive south to Moraira and attend a fish auction at the port. It's the only auction in the Land of Valencia open to private bidders (14 km).

Join me in Reno, Nevada March 21-24th for the Women in Aviation National Conference! I will be signing copies of my books every afternoon in the author's corner of the exhibition area – so come on by!
The Land of Enchantment Fly-In was Saturday August 26 at Double Eagle Airport out on the west mesa of Albuquerque For anyone interested in getting up close and personal with aircraft, pilots and airports it was a fun time. I gave a presentation on the Future of Air Traffic Control in the early afternoon. The presentation is FAAST certified for Wings Credit.
The EAA179 chapter website gives more information: http://eaa179.org/land-of-enchantment-fly-in
The editors of Plane and Pilot News, Tim and Beverly Hartong, sponsored Rose's visit to the East Central Ohio Pilot's Association.
Rose was visiting family in Indiana, so Tim Hartong and CFII Steve Smith flew Tim's Piper Comanche to Greenwood airport (HFY) and picked her up. The trip back was exciting as Tim and Steve used onboard radar to navigate around summer storm activity. We flew IFR at FL090 which was between two overcast layers. The views of the clouds were fabulous!
Rose was treated to dinner at a local restaurant and stayed the night with the Hartongs in a house they designed and built. A lovely design complete with state of the art built in electronic systems, the house sits on enough acreage that they have their own runway out back behind the Workshop!
The day broke gray and drizzly but more than 30 members of ECOPA braved the weather to come out for Rose's presentations on using the FSS PilotWeb site for self briefing and filing ICAO flight plans.
After Hot Dogs on the grill, Tim and another CFII pilot flew me back to Greenwood in another member's Piper Navajo. This time I got to sit in the right seat and had a closer look at the new Garmin instrumentation.
Thanks to ECOPA and the Hartongs for a fabulous visit!
Rose Marie joined EAA Chapter 658 at Prescott's Ernest A. Love field for their monthly meeting. She gave a presentation on the Future of Air Traffic Control and is seen here autographing her book Air to Ground for a member.

Visiting the Terracotta Warriors in Xi'an has been a dream of mine for quite sometime. I visited the National Geographic Museum in Washington D.C. in 2010 when the Terracotta Warriors were on a traveling exhibit there. The trip was a 30th birthday gift to myself and I arranged to visit the museum on my birthday which happened to be the final weekend of the Warriors on display there before moving on to a new city. It was a beautiful exhibit that made me all the more excited to travel to Xi'an one day to view the excavated pit in person. Well, today that dream finally came true!
The Terracotta Warrior Museum is about an hour outside the city of Xi'an. There are many tours you can book that will take you there that range in price, but it is really easy to get to on your own without the expense of a tour guide. There is a bus depot in a parking lot across from the Xi'an Train Station that has buses leaving at regular intervals (every 10-20 minutes or so). Just board bus 5(306) which is clearly marked. The cost is 7 yuan each way and the fee will be collected once you are on board. Currency exchange rates fluctuate, but 6 yuan is roughly equal to $1.00 US. The entire trip takes about an hour with about 6 stops along the way. The bus stops at the parking lot for the museum so you won't miss it. When you are ready to return, go to the same location the bus dropped you off and wait for the next bus 5(306) going back to Xi'an.
|Pit 1
I went back and forth on whether or not to hire a tour guide. I read so many reviews that said you need a tour guide or you won't understand anything. I took the bus on my own to the museum. Just outside there are guides that are willing to sell their services to lead you around the museum. I negotiated with one woman and decided to hire her for 100 yuan for a 2 hour tour. I am a fanatic for anything history related and I'm fascinated by the Terracotta Warriors so I already had some background knowledge on the exhibit. If you didn't want to hire a guide, I think you would get a lot out of the exhibit just by reading the info in your guidebook before arriving and reading the English plaques around the museum. Pit 1 & 3 didn't have as much information, but Pit 2 is more of a museum with the artifacts on display and had adequate signage. In the end, I was glad I hired the guide last minute since I was traveling alone. It was nice to hear the added information, above what I already knew, and I had my own personal photographer for the visit. I don't think I would have nearly as many photos of myself otherwise. Plus she knew her way around, so I didn't have to figure out where to go. She led me everywhere.
As you can imagine, the Warriors were found in a bunch of pieces and needed to be reassembled. There are current restorations in progress. The process is quite loud so the restorations take place in the evenings after the museum is closed to tourists for the day. The Warriors were originally painted, but within 2 hours of being unearthed, the color quickly faded due to an oxidation process. Part of the pits are still covered in an effort to protect the statues until a technology is developed that will preserve the original paint color. Pit 1 is the largest of the three and contains the soldiers and slaves. Fun fact I learned: slaves had to kill 500-1000 foreigners in order to be promoted. To prove the number of people killed, they had to produce an ear from each person.
If you are familiar with the history of ancient Egypt, people believed there was life in the afterlife and you needed to take all of your goods with you. Ancient Chinese emperors believed the same. One difference is that Egyptians buried food with them where the Chinese did not. However the Chinese did bring along food vessels such as wine and water flasks. The purpose of this burial site was for emperor Qin Shi Huang to have his army follow him into the afterlife. Fortunately he was advised to create replicas of individual warriors rather than bury alive the real soldiers. Each statue in the pit represents an individual person.
Higher-ranking officers and generals were buried in Pit 3. This pit is considerably smaller than Pit 1. There are photos on the wall that were taken during the excavation process that depict the color of the statues. Also in this area is a fun photo opportunity. Since you are not allowed to walk into the pits to examine the Warriors up close, there is a photo booth set up to look just like Pit 1. For 10 yuan per person you can stand among the replicas for a few souvenir photos.
|Pit 3
The Terracotta Warriors were discovered in the countryside just outside Xi'an by a farmer digging a well in 1974. In China, the government owns all of the land. So the individual farmer that discovered the first pit did not become wealthy for his amazing find. Although he is currently the leader (president?) of the museum and is often on site in the gift shop. He earns a salary of 3,000 yuan a month. It doesn't sound like much, but it is considerably higher than what he earned as a farmer and conceivably a much more comfortable position. Now he signs copies of the museum book and poses for photographs with tourists.
Finally I visited Pit 2. One Warrior was discovered intact and is on display in a glass box. With the opportunity to view one of the statues up close, you can see all of the detail that went into making each figure. Every detail down to the treads on the bottom of the shoe to the lines on the inside of the individual hand was recreated.
Also on display in Pit 2 are some of the weapons that were discovered along with the statues.
I spent over two hours walking through the three pits and for me it was an amazing experience. What do you think, would you trek out to central China and take a bus out to the countryside to view this in person?

Large, airy room with kitchenette and wonderful shower room. Friendly and helpful staff. Air conditioning. Very nice bar overlooking the pool. This was our sixth visit to Skala and we couldn't have chosen a better hotel. The gardens are beautiful, the architecture appealing and the whole complex spotlessly clean.

I called PayPal and they say that the form and my account look fine from their side. I don't know if you can help or not but I do not know what to do now...
The error says something about the email address being a problem. I had this problem yesterday and was told to change my email address so it matched what paypal has. I did that and still am having a problem.
Any ideas?
- JotForm SupportdavidAnswered on July 23, 2014 at 02:26 PM
When I test a cloned version of your form it appears everything goes through correctly:
When I checked your Paypal setup however, your email address was not in the field that requires it:
Change this field to your Paypal email address and you should be all set.
Let us know if this does not work and we will be happy to look into it further.
Thank you for using Jotform!
- cjohansenAnswered on July 23, 2014 at 03:54 PM
Finally - and THANK YOU.
Another question, Does the client need to set up an account with paypal in order to pay by credit card? There are only two options - 1) pay with my paypal account or 2) create a paypal account.
I thought that in the screens I have seen there was another option just to pay with credit card - no paypal account needed.
????That last one is the one I want - pay by credit card and no account needed
Any way to do that?
- JotForm SupportdavidAnswered on July 23, 2014 at 04:08 PM

Perennial Vegetable Profile: Seakale
Seakale (Crambe maritima) is an unique perennial vegetable that is not grown nearly enough in the United States, Canada or elsewhere. Also known as Sea Kale, Silver Kale and Scurvy Grass, seakale does not actually belong to the kale family, but instead is member of the cabbage family of plants.
As the name suggests, this is a plant native to coastal areas of Europe, where it grows wild from the North Atlantic to the Black Sea. It became well known in the United States due to Thomas Jefferson, who praised it in his Garden Book of 1809 and frequently grew it in his own gardens. However, seakale is grown very rarely in the United States and Canada (although well suited to the climate). It is, however, quite popular in certain regions of Europe, including England and France.
One reason that seakale is probably not grown as much as it should be in the United States and Canada, is that it has a reputation for being labor intensive. This is because traditionally the plant was blanched, using pots, baskets and similar containers. But blanching this perennial vegetable is not necessary, and unblanched it is actually more nutritious to eat. It can be cooked and served in the manner of most cooking greens, and makes an excellent dish on its own sauted with some garlic in olive oil.
Although it may be a challenge to find cuttings of this perennial vegetable in the United States and Canada, once acquired it is easy to propagate. It should not, however, be confused with the seakale beet, which is a completely different plant. You may be able to find Seakale cuttings online at Forest Farm and Heronswood, but if you are unable to find root cuttings of this perennial vegetable it can be grown by seed as well. You may be able to find the seeds from an online heirloom seed vendors, such as Bountiful Gardens. Growing from seed, however, will take nearly two years before harvest, whereas with root cuttings you may be able to harvest the first year after planting.
For more information and descriptions of perennial vegetables such as seakale, please return to the Perennial Vegetables Home Page. Thank you for visiting!

text: Posted June 11, 2007 Since SP1, I have started playing more in FSX since my system can see much of the eye candy without a huge perf hit.Anyway, while flying over Houston in the FS Baron I noticed that the traffic (set at 100%) was moving pretty fast. So I clocked it over Interstate 10 by matching its speed from spot view. It appeared to be moving at 78 to 80 kia which I think translates to over 90 mph (correct?).Living here (Houston) I realize that there are some very "hurried" drivers but I don't think it is this bad.... ;-)Cheers,MK Share this post Link to post Share on other sites


text: Aria Resort and Casino is probably my next favorite hotel. I only say "next" because I haven't yet stayed in it (I'm slowly working my way south on the Strip). But I'm so in love with its look (the art! the architecture!). Between the sweeping waterfall at the front, the futuristic sculptures near the parking structure, and the dancing fountain in the roundabout, I'm dying to see what the rooms are like. It also doesn't have that smokey cigarette-cloud smell (probably because there are so few people there or their superior ventilation system?).see yesterday's post). But the effect would have been quite cheesy compared to its overall modern, clean look (as seen in the pallete used for their hanging Christmas balls in the lobby). Talk about classy.

On Sunday we had a Greek lunch with a cute child and his pretty mother. Tuesday we split a yummy sub at Subway, always a good value! On the way to Estes Park we enjoyed coffee and cherry cobbler at the Glen Haven General Store. We do enjoy our food!

Grasshopper Manufacture is teaming up with Hungarian studio Digital Reality to develop a downloadable title Sine Mora. The 1st trailer released on 8/3/11:
Although the trailer does not show much about the story or gameplay, it has defiantly got my attention. According to Siliconera, the game may have a time-manipulation feature but since Suda 51 is involved I'm sure it will be unique and interesting. Look to GamingPersona to provided more information about Sine Mora as it reaches its winter release for PSN and XBLA.
