text: When news broke on Tuesday that Bachelorette star Emily Maynard's ex Sean Lowe had been named ABC's latest Bachelor, fans had mixed feelings. While some of us jumped on the news, excited to hear that one of our favorite Southern gentleman would be returning to make his own journey to find love, others wondered how this sweet and calm Dallas entrepreneur could have been selected to carry television's most dramatic dating show. Will he be entertaining enough to carry a whole season of the famed series on his own? Hollywood.com spoke with two Bachelor experts — former Bachelorette star Trista Sutter and former Bachelorette winner Jesse Csincsak — to get their thoughts on how ABC and Lowe can possibly make this work.

Hibiscus Seed Pods
wolfspirit(5)August 5, 2009
Can anyone tell me if the seed pods are what the spent flowers come out of? If so, can I plant them immediatly? I would greatly appreciate some advice. Thank You! wolfspirit
If the flower got pollinated. it will die and fall off. then the whats left is the seed pod. You will know within 1-3 days if it took. it will either die and fall off or the little thing where the flower was will begin to get bigger. it will continue to grow for 8-12 weeks and will get about the size of the tip of your thumb. When it starts to turn brown is when you take it off the plant and your seeds are ready to be planted. You can store the seeds or plant immediately. I have seeds that are 2 years old and still germinate.

"Good Read"
Interesting world. Colorful characters and backgrounds. It could have been easily broken into two books, but thankfully, we did not have to wait for the second. :)
"Excellent book."
This book really opens up the character of ender as he matures.
The varying narrators made it quite fun to listen to.
"interesting universe"
Interesting book. The universe the book was set in was interesting. Each planet, ship and other setting was well thought out and wonderfully described.
The complexities of the main character's family and religion were also interesting and lent a realistic dimension to the characters.
However, the plot grew well beyond the characters control. The turns in book lead the main character down a rapidly declining slope with all hope lost again and again. Although the characters were colorful, their roles morphed beyond reasonable expectations.
"Good, but not the best."
I really enjoy this series. The characters are fun and the world is colorful. This installment of their exploits was a bit confusing. The concept of the extra dimension is a bit misleading and at first, I thought it was a huge retelling of the first book. I don't think Ms. Mills set the story up very well and probably should have lead that particular dimension down its path a bit more to establish that character set.
The narrator, Stephen Hoyle, was as always very good.
"Great Start!"
This is a wonderful, well written book that provides a portrait into a clearly defined world of intrigue and magic. It was interesting and fun to listen to. I said great start because the Imager defines a character and environment that can, and hopefully will be used by Modesitt to bring to life further adventures of the young Master Imager Rhennthyl.

Online nursery reviews: Conifer Kingdom
Though my collection has reached both my space capacity and financial budget, I have still made a few new nursery discoveries and as before, I'd like to share my experience with them. Hopefully it can be a useful tool for others considering sources or looking for rare plants.
This order was from Conifer Kingdom, a Japanese maple and conifer nursery out of Oregon. Their website states their nursery staff has 20+ years in the industry and it shows in their product. I'll stay with the format I've used for some 15 nursery reviews. One star(*) is poor/unacceptable, three stars(***) is average and five stars(*****) is exceptional/outstanding.
INVENTORY: ***** I've scoured in internet for the last four years and only a few nurseries have collections this vast. In addition to several hundred varieties, ranging from somewhat common to extremely rare, they have what appears to be a dozen or more introductions/finds of their own. Conifer Kingdom offers plant sizes from ban pots(BP) to #3 and above. I think with most online sources, 5-7 gallons is the largest that will ship. Any collector or gardener would be thrilled to scan their photos and inventory. Just take a look(link below).
Japanese maple growers would also be very pleased with their offerings as well.
On quality alone, it's pretty easy to give them five stars. The plants are meticulously grown with care and it's readily apparent, at least with my order, that they don't ship ugly specimens. The size of the plants is about average to the size of the pots. Most gallon specimens seem to be 2-4 years old, and 2 gallons 3-7 years old.
Shipping was excellent, fast and very affordable. The entire box was $31, though your prices, particularly across the country, may vary. The plants came in bags, twisted off and staked to keep them in place. I didn't notice a broken or bent brench amongst them.
I visited the nursery in person and met a fellow named Dick who's probably been in the industry since I was in diapers. He was very courteous and seemed genuinely interested in the customer's satisfaction, a dying trait in some nurseries.
Conifer Kingdom offers some really choice and rare plants. Some plants are in the $18-24 range while some of the rarest command a serious price(almost $100 for a 2 GAL plant), but taken as a whole, most of the prices are reasonable. Combine the quality of the plants, how rare they are and the professional approach and you have an above average value for your shopping dollar.
How things arrived.
The maples were tucked away safe and sound.
Abies nordmanniana 'Berlin Dahlem' $36
Abies koreana 'Olhtacca' 2 GAL $48
Pinus parviflora 'Shikoken' 2 GAL $64
Picea glauca 'Ketch Harbor' 2 GAL $60
Picea abies 'Middle Finger' $45. Another rare introduction, this is a narrow upright similar to, but considered an improvement over Picea abies 'Hillside Upright'.
Here is a link that might be useful: Conifer Kingdom Nursery
Nice post and how nice to find such a nursery. Looks like good quality plants there selling, they all look nice and healthy. Don't for get theres always room when you have a passion(obsession) haha. By the way what japanese maple cultivrs did you get. I really like some of the japanese maples out now. Thx for the pics
Bookmarked... thanks! I will give them a try next year. Keep the reviews coming, I think next year I'm going to try all new companies. The companies I currently use didn't really list to many new things this year and when I order next year I don't want to 'settle' because they didn't have what I wanted. LOL @ the middle finger conifer... that's neat and would definitely be a conversation piece!
It's weird that there prices vary so dramatically. Some of the ones I found on my must have list are only $24... while Picea glauca 'Dasy's White' was a whopping $96. Very nice site and a great description of the products though... will give them a shot next year!
Prices typically reflect a combination of at least three basic factors, rarity, number of years growing and ease of propogation. I paid $94 once for a three year old cedar, 'Uwe', yet I can run to Lowe's and get an Picea abies 'Little Gem' with about 5-6 years of growth for eight bucks. Generally as a collector I have found you usually get what you pay for. $80 for a Picea abies 'Wichtel' through the ACS might seem like a lot, but they are beautiful plants and very rare to boot.
Four Japanese maples came with the order, Acer palmatum 'Mayno no sato', 'Amagi Shigure' and Acer shirasawanum '6910' and 'Green Snowflake'. The maple variety selection is also impressive. 'Amagi Shigure' in particular shows considerable promise and the variegation on 'Mayno no sato' is highly unique, a purplish/yellow combination. I saw one last year in a display garden and had been looking for one ever since.
I know Will... I'm not saying there prices are high by any means. Very reasonable... some of the ones I have on the top of my want list they have for under $30 bucks which is right in my price range of $25-$40. I think if I had more beds to fill and the time to do plant I would probably drop a good size order on them. Right now I'm having a hard time getting everything planted before they break bud.
I was just surprised to see Picea glauca 'Dasy's White' and a couple other ones priced so high. Since I believe this is propagated by a cutting and can be found at a lot of different nurseries. I think all the companies I use offer this plant for sale... so I wouldn't consider it rare by any means.
Keep the reviews coming, I'm looking forward to trying at least 2-3 new companies this coming fall or next spring and this is one of them.
Great, another source to enable more purchases!
They have a few nice selections I haven't seen before. There are a few cultivars that are priced higher than they should be...ie a 12"-18" Peve Tijn for $140, yikes!
Pinus parviflora 'Shikoken' presents itself as a nice cultivar. I'd like to see how the needles color up in Midwest winters.
That 'Ketch harbor' seems to be fairly upright.

We fly in the sky
We walk on the moon
Lips touch to each other
We kiss during fly
Birds sing a song
Trees sway in the ground
We walk on the grass
And birds fly around
Ice melts on the iceberg
and sun starts shine
A cool breeze touch me
When eyes say, "you are mine"
We walk in the street
Moon peeps trough the cloud
hearts dance and they sing
"I love you, I love you" loud

The character of a place is written in the stories of the people who live there, and no one knows this better than Dick Case. For fifty years, his "Neighbors" columns have chronicled the ups and downs of the Syracuse community, bringing into the spotlight the names, traditions and landmarks that might otherwise have slipped through the cracks of history.

Few measure up to Spahn
Warren Spahn didn't have the best single season ever. But it's hard to top his entire career.
My editors have asked me to "put the career of Warren Spahn" -- who died on Nov. 24 -- "into context."
I'll do that ... and then I'll spend some time on the interesting stuff.
Spahn won 363 games. That's impressive.
Those 363 wins place him fifth on the all-time list. That's impressive, too.
Context? Exactly zero major-league pitchers with more wins than Warren Spahn recorded one of those wins after 1930. Which is to say, Spahn is the biggest winner over the last seven decades ... and there aren't any challengers on the horizon.
He was as durable a pitcher as there's ever been (or at least since Walter Johnson). In 1947, Spahn began a streak of 17 seasons in which he started at least 32 games and pitched at least 245 innings (most seasons, he cleared both marks with plenty to spare). And Spahn generally finished what he started. Interestingly, though he somehow never led the National League in games started, he led the league in complete games nine times (and yes, maybe I'm overdoing the italics, but Spahn had that sort of career).
Spahn was obviously (to me, at least) a more valuable pitcher than Steve Carlton, but Spahn never had a season like Carlton's 1972. Spahn was a more valuable pitcher than Randy Johnson, but Spahn never had a season like Randy Johnson's 2002. One might argue that Spahn was a more valuable pitcher than Roger Clemens -- certainly, Spahn was more durable -- but Spahn never had a season quite like Clemens' 1997.
It's not that Spahn couldn't pitch brilliantly; he did, in 1947 and 1952. But that really wasn't the sort of pitcher he was. He wasn't going to come out and put the fear of God into the hitters. He was just going to get them out, and win games. Year after year after year.
Warren Spahn into context? Imagine a left-handed version of Mike Mussina ... but finishing half the games he starts and pitching like a Hall of Famer well into his 40s. If you can imagine that, you've got a good start.
Now, a few of the things you won't find in the record books:
Technically, Spahn wasn't a combat soldier. He was a platoon sergeant in the 276th Engineer Battalion. Once the bridge had been forced, Spahn's unit was ordered to keep it open to traffic. Meanwhile, the Germans were desperately trying to destroy the bridge with air and artillery attacks. Spahn took an artillery fragment in the foot, but had the wound patched up and returned to his troops. On March 17, Spahn walked on to the bridge to consult with his superiors, then turned and left the bridge to brief his men. Moments later it collapsed into the Rhine, killing 28 soldiers and wounding 93 others.
"Something like that," Spahn would later say, "makes you a fatalist."
By the mid-1950s, Spahn's fastball had faded some -- after all, by the standards of professional athletes he was no longer a young man -- but he missed barely a beat. After a bit of experimentation, Spahn perfected a "screwball" (which may have been more akin to the pitch we today call a "circle change"), and a few years later he added an effective slider to his repertoire, which had always included a curve and changeup. Eventually, Spahn also picked up a knuckleball, which helped him win 23 games in 1963 ... when he was 43 years old.
That's Spahn. And I don't mean that's what Spahn did. I mean, that's what he said. That's his saying.
Spahn said a lot of things, actually. For some reason, today he's not remembered for his intelligence and his wit, but Spahn was blessed with healthy supplies of both. He pitched for Casey Stengel twice, in 1942 with the Braves and in 1965 with the Mets. Later, Spahn would say, "I'm probably the only guy who worked for Stengel before and after he was a genius.
In the early 1960s, Al Silverman wrote a book about Spahn and subtitled it "Immortal Southpaw." Silverman didn't really think that Spahn would live forever (even if, at that point, it seemed that Spahn might pitch forever). Rather, Silverman meant that Spahn's deeds on the mound would live for as long as people talked about baseball. He was right.

Entrepreneur has released its 34th annual Franchise 500, a list of the top franchise companies based on financial and statistical data from July 2010 to July 2012. The most weighted criteria include financial strength and stability, growth rate and system size.
To be eligible for the independent ranking, a franchisor must have a minimum of 10 units, with at least one in the U.S. The company must be seeking new franchisees in the U.S., and it cannot be in Chapter 11 at the time the ranking is compiled.
According to the researchers at Entrepreneur, the results of this year's list "confirm that franchising is finally on the upswing again after several tough years, and the top 10 franchises are leading the way."
Among those top franchised companies is Subway, listed at No. 2. with startup costs ranging from $85.2K to $260.35K. Subway was also listed at No. 2 in 2011. Entrepreneur pointed to the Connecticut-based chain's nearly 9 percent growth in nontraditional venues (hospitals, stadiums, etc.) in the past year. Subway's breakfast daypart, the publication adds, has been a growth engine, as has its partnership with the American Heart Association for healthful menu items. The company is planning to add 2,600 units in 2013.
Coming in at No. 9 is McDonald's, which was lauded for its nutritional transparency in the past year. In the summer, the chain added menu boards with calorie counts and lower calorie Happy Meals. McDonald's expects to have 1,300 new units open this year, including about 250 in China.
At No. 10 is Pizza Hut, which refranchised in 2011 to pick up its growth, opening 51 new units in 2011 and anticipating another 150 new units this year. The company is currently focused on expanding through its Delco Lite model, which entails a smaller footprint with a focus on carryout and delivery services. Pizza Hut's international momentum is in full swing, with 150 new units opening in China alone last year.
Topping this year's list is Hampton Hotels (unchanged from last year). Other brands in the Top 10 include Jiffy Lube, 7-Eleven, Supercuts, Anytime Fitness, Servpro and Denny's. The full list is available online, as well as a list of the fastest growing franchises.
Other restaurant brands in the Top 500
Plenty of other restaurant brands in the quick-service, pizza and fast casual segments earned a spot on Entrepreneur's Top 500 list this year, including:

With their large portion sizes and high grease loads, restaurant meals are generally less nutritious than their home-cooked counterparts. But how bad are they, particularly for young people?
When they ate at fast-food restaurants, kids up to age 11 ate an extra 125 calories over the course of a day, while adolescents age 12 and older ate about 310 excess calories, the researchers report today in the journal Archives of Pediatrics & Adolescent Medicine. Even when they ate at full-service restaurants, kids added 160 calories to their daily consumption while teens added about 270.
In the older group, eating at fast-food restaurants led teens to consume 13 percent more sugar, 22 percent more total fat, 25 percent more total fat and 17 percent more sodium.
Kids who ate out more drank more sodas and other sugar-sweetened drinks. And the difference in calories and fat consumed was greatest for kids from lower-income and minority families.
The findings should add weight to public policies that reduce the amount of food kids eat from restaurants and fast-food joints, the authors say. Those might include zoning rules that restrict restaurants near schools, or regulations that reduce portion sizes or limit food marketing to kids.
