text:
Salvia oxyphora is a really unusual sage from Bolivia. It is a wonderful summer bloomer, and should do well as a temperennial in the northern US and a spring and summer bloomer in the south. I expect it to have perhaps zone 8 hardineaa.
I got a couple of rooted cuttings from Scot Zona last June, and they grew very well throughout the 90 degree summer, as long as they were well fed and watered. I was too busy propagating them to leave many flowering stems develop. The plants would come to a halt when the roots filled the pot they were in, which was rather soon. The roots formed a dense mass, with not many trunk roots visible. Lower eaves would yellow and drop off. Growth would resume quickly when repotted with potting soil containing slow-release fertilizer. It took summer heat as well as S. miniata, a low mountain sage from Chiapas and Belize. From this, I've determined that in the southern states, it needs to be planted best in some shade in a well-drained soil with ample humus. It will be a thirsty plant. In the north, it needs the same soil, but will need more sun. It should make a splendid container plant. It is unusual in not setting seed in the wild. Although it is widely distributed in ten spots, the populations are small. It may persist by the mechanism I've inferred from its beahior under cool, damp conditions: Cuttings root very quickly during warm to hot weather. With small plants done going into winter, the tops break off easily at the nodes, even from the pressure from a hard watering. The emergency cuttings stay turgid, even in a flat with other sages like S. leucantha, which tend to wilt and damp off some. These cuttings are not getting bottom heat. The pots that have lost their tops come back from the lower nodes, but need to be kept dryish and in full sun. In order to come back, they need to be fairly well established in the pots. I infer that the populations may maintain themselves by having growing tips shatter off in seasonal rains, then get washes downstream to a location where they lodge in loose vegetation, then persist until they root. It would be interesting to see how they are distributed around streams and flood plains in the wild. |

Its funny that you posted this. about a month ago i was down in my garden, and i found the new s. oxyphora i purchased from you trampled by my wonderful dogs. They had broken three of the branches off of my newly planted beauty. i took the cuttings and stuck them in the ground around the plant thinking...."its cold, wet, and part shade. they will never root." But they did. We are having a funny winter. Dec with 10 inches and almost freezing weather, and they still rooted. That is our yearly amount. I think im going to love this one. Its doing great. Purple stem sage is doing excellent out here too, still blooming. brent p.s. as soon as some plants can get to you without chance of freezing, i have some new ones for you. |

I'd also love to see what the purple stem sage looks like in bloom. Also, seed from this one is scarce, and there are people in Argentina and Australia who might like to grow it. I think it is in Europe and Great Britain. It also needs an identification. |
- Posted by riverrelaxn85 zone 9a-b (My Page) on Wed, Jan 26, 11 at 15:50
The one i got from you flowered shortly after i got it. It still hasnt stopped. It is setting seed here, but hasnt gotten large enough to collect. Do you want pictures? It is currently 2.5 ft tall and blooming quite a bit. Let me know. Brent |
- Posted by rich_dufresne z7 NC (My Page) on Wed, Jan 26, 11 at 16:32
Yes, I would! Dr. John Wood of RBG Kew, who last collected and studied it and Dr. Petra Wester (University of Mainz, Germany), who studied it for her hummingbird study, both said it did not set seed in the wild, so a close-up of a seed head would be welcomed by them and Robin Middleton. Cabrillo College, Christian Froissart, and Betsy Clebsch would probably also like to share this information. Contact me privately for their email addresses. |

I see curviflora in there too. Is Curtis blue the on with the dense spike of small blue flowers? |
This thread seems to be confusing Salvia oxyphora and "Purple Stem Sage"...whatever that is. Don't know what 'Purple Stem Sage' is, would have to see many more photos of this. This could be one of many similar Mexican species, whereas Salvia oxyphora is unique and instantly recognisable, both from foliage and flowers, and it is only found in Bolivia. Oxyphora is truly amazing, and adapts to the British climate very well, is happy with our unpredictable summer. Seems to like a fertile, well-drained soil. Not really hardy here, it may survive a cold winter, but if so, will not flower until October. But, cuttings over-wintered under glass will flower from June onwards outside. In a hot climate, such as Queensland, Australia, it is mildly invasive, from underground stolons. Yet to hear of anyone finding seed from this beautiful Salvia. |

Were the pictures good enough? I took them at 6am..... IMG 2169 and 2170 are 'curtis blue' it might be a form of keerlii coming from what you and robin told me. Robin has some seed and will verify later in the year. to me, keerlii has a different flower form and color. also leaf color of keerlii is slightly darker and more 'blue'. leaf shape is somewhat similar. It is very aromatic. Blooms out here non-stop. seed is tini less than 1mm in size. Germinates true. about 6ft tall by 4ft wide. 2-3in elliptic sometime ovate leaves that are pubescent almost furry to the touch. flowers are 1/2" to 3/4" at the most that are blue with white beelines like in the piture. I dont have keerlii to compare it to directly, so im just going off an older salvia gardeners guide. I love it. A great universal salvia. good in shade or direct sun, and very drought tolerant(but becomes thin and shrubby under drought....still flowers!!) Ill get you some and you can see. But, ill take another guess from you if you want to give it. Brent |
- Posted by rich_dufresne z7 NC (My Page) on Thu, Jan 27, 11 at 19:24
Robin (or Annette), how big do the oxyphora plants have to be to form stolons? |
I would say when they are about 3 ft tall, ie from cuttings taken a year before. |
- Posted by annette68 Australia Queensland (firstname.lastname@example.com) on Mon, Jun 6, 11 at 4:37
Mine was also 3ft tall, it flowered in full sun and took a while to flower in the tropics, every year the flower bud would set then the flowers would abort, last spring this baby burst into life and stayed in flower right uptil winter commenced.... |

Here is a pic taken today of an oxyphora. This was planted as a young cutting last June and flowered at about 4ft at end August. The pic shows shoots coming from a stolon at about 4" from the original plant. The stolon is about 7" in full length. Jim |
Rich, My oxyphora plants are becoming quite large now, and each contains many flower buds. It is amazing how fast your starter plants rocketed into foliar mountains! I should see flowers on one of the plants certainly by the end of the month. Joseph |
And you will love the flowers! |

Im going to put this one back up because it was mentioned the other day to me. I really thought it wasnt going to do well for me, but i was very suprised. S. oxyphora is in heaven out here. It get afternoon sun and i thought it was going to burn or wilt or die even. So i took extra cuttings to prepare. It is doing great! I got it last year from Rich, and planted it this spring. We are hot now and it has been flowering for two months and not stopping. Grows like a weed, and needs fertility. But i love this plant! We will see how it does in the reall heat! We are now hitting the 100's. The hummers love it too. I will be checking it for seed. Brent |
- Posted by rich_dufresne z7 NC (My Page) on Sat, Jul 2, 11 at 18:24
My small plants that were rooted about 12 weeks ago, then repotted in gallon containers 6.5 weeks ago are just about to bloom, and the info that it needs to be 1.5 feet tall to begin bud formation. The stems are much more sturdy at this stage than they are when they break dormancy in the spring. At that time, a hard watering can shatter the growing ends at the nodes. The resulting pieces don't wilt as much as other cuttings, and will root, though slowly. I'll take some images and upload them fairly soon. I've managed to get a lot of plants out to various areas and have asked that photos be sent. And I quite agree that it is a heavy feeder and water hog in hot summers. |

Marvellous! This Salvia is really special! The nectar is very strong and sweet, and in the UK, it seems to attract ants and wasps, unfortunately. Compared to last year, when I had blooms in June, it has been slow this year, my plants only just in bud. English weather invariably makes things "interesting!" Have also read many comments on the Hummingbird forum as to how differently it behaves in different parts of the USA. |
- Posted by hummersteve 6 (My Page) on Tue, Jul 19, 11 at 19:22
Robin Yes I can tell the nectar must be a high content by the ants having discovered it. What surprises me is the hummers lack of interest in it. 3 or 4 times I have seen a hummer briefly test it and then leave abruptly. But today for the first time I saw one actually stick its beak deeply into the flowers . I have quite a few other flowers in the same garden so its like they are fixed routinely to hit only certain plants and anything new is ignored. |
It seems that S. oxyphora sets seeds after all!!! But don't get excited! Two seeds only were found on a plant in Argentina.......one has germinated...took 6 weeks (?) but seems to be the real thing. Meanwhile, propagate from cuttings. A new and rare Salvia, recently found in Guatemala/Mexico borders, Salvia carrilloi..........seems to be a wonderful species.....look at the photo on www.salvias.com.ar....and notice the similarity of the bud formation to that of oxyphora! |
- Posted by hybridsage Zone 8 Austin Tx (My Page) on Sun, Sep 11, 11 at 20:01
My oxyphora did not make our drought or 80 days of temps over 100. Still no end to the Texas drought going into next year.Just hope they are wrong. The winners so far regla,miniata,coccinea,some greggi and microphylla ssp. Silver leaf, macrophylla,sagittata, x Big Swing,ballotaeflora, x Wendies Wish ,a few mexicana forms and guarantica took our two days's of 112 degree temps. Art |
- Posted by hummersteve 6 (My Page) on Sat, Oct 1, 11 at 10:40
Art That is certainly a terrible drought you have endured down there and Im guessing you are on limited water supplies. Water is one thing sal. oxyphora craves more than most I found. We had some days around and over 100 but mine did quite well. Half of my plant was buried under a huge blue ensign and that half did not bloom but I cautiously moved the plant out from under it with a large dirt/rootball enough to where the other half also excelled and it is still doing well with 15 flowering stems. I was a little disappointed the hummers snubbed the plant at least up untill august migration started and then more and more it was used. |
As a follow-up to my post of June 8th, the oxyphora that had survived the winter started to open its flower buds and show that delicious furry red flower on 25th September. This is some 6 to 8 weeks after plants that were grown as small over-wintered cuttings first flowered. Jim |
Rich, thought you might like to know that I've got seed set on Salvia oxyphora in the greenhouse, probably from some hand pollinating I did and then forgot about. |
- Posted by rich_dufresne z7 NC (My Page) on Thu, Oct 20, 11 at 14:57
Karen, that's good to know, since I plan on doing some breeding. You might want to plant them next spring to see if they have crossed. |
Earlier, I mentioned a new Salvia called Salvia carrilloi, which I thought resembled S. oxyphora. Because of coincidence, a collector in Guatemala also named a new sage S. carrilloi. So, the one I referred to has been tentatively re-named as Salvia carriyesii. |
- Posted by hummersteve 6 (My Page) on Thu, Dec 8, 11 at 23:29
Concerning salvia oxyphora I can agree with Robin as I was able to collect 4 seeds, but this plant is stingy about giving forth many. I also experienced that this plant loves water as much as it loves sun, no I mean it loves WATER! I also fed it quite heavy and it just kept on producing and producing. Ants and bees were all over this thing backing up the notion the nectar must be quite strong. |
I found S. oxyphora easy to self pollinate by hand in my greenhouse, and so I finally turned to trying crosses. So far I haven't had any seed set from those attempts but will keep crossing with whatever else is in bloom. I've got about 2-3 dozen seed from the initial hand (self) pollination I did, and the half dozen seed that I've planted germinated readily. |
Correction to that, there are actually ~75 S. oxyphora seed in that baggie. Amazing how they add up. I wish it hybridized as easily. I found a recent reference on crossing Salvia species but haven't been able to track down the full article yet. Has anyone read it?: Tychonievich J, Warner RM. Interspecific Crossability of Selected Salvia Species and Potential Use for Crop Improvement. J Am Soc Hort Sci. 136: 41-47, 2011. |
- Posted by rich_dufresne z7 NC (My Page) on Sun, Dec 18, 11 at 22:28
I have it. Joseph Tychonievich sent me a copy, so I'll forward it to you. He reported a cross of a Eurasian species with one of the Latin American ones. The hybrid looks mostly like the Eurasian one, with minor differences. It is proprietary, and won't be released. Most of my oxyphora plants are still blooming. We are having a nice winter for a change. Even my S. lineata and S. stolonifera are forming very robust tubers and stolons on the small plants. It looks like I'll be able to put in some small raised beds next year, using some sand and expanded slate pellets for drainage and protection against voles. |

I have several different cuttings inside under lights which I took late summer. One salvia oxyphora that seemed to survive just sat there doing nothing [when the other cuttings were growing] it seemed for the past couple of months but now it has finally sprouted some new leaves, a couple small stems. I was beginning to think it was dead. Im wondering if anyone else have experienced this kind of ,,, what shall I call it partial dormancy with this plant. |
Rich, thanks for the article. I haven't had a chance yet to read it in depth but plan to do that this weekend. The degree of variability in chromosome number of different salvias is really fascinating. My oxyphora cuttings, taken this fall, haven't slowed down, but the parent plant is 'resting'. I had to sow the rest of my seed this week because they were starting to germinate in the plastic baggie. If they germinate at the same rate as the first half dozen I planted I'm going to have quite the oxyphora forest. It'll be interesting to see how much variation there is, since it sounds like most of us are probably growing the same clone. |
In case anyone is interested, I've got germination of my oxyphora 12 days after sowing. They've been in the greenhouse with temps ranging from 60-75 degrees and were sown soon after ripening, with the brief stay as noted in the plastic baggie. |
Karen, I just read the article re crossing different species of salvias. Unfortunately, it only addresses crosses between a few species. Its main point seems to be that sometimes two Salvias with equal numbers of chromosomes will not produce viable seed. However, others with unequal chromosomes, notably S, transylvanica x S. nemorosa were very successful. I am raising seedlings of S. penstemonoides that I intend to try crossing with several other types and I had hoped to gleam some information that would suggest likely candidates. (I have enough to trade for some S. oxyphora if you are interested.) Rich, do you have any suggestions of which other Salvia would be more likely to produce viable seed when crossed with S. penstemonoides? |
- Posted by rich_dufresne z7 NC (My Page) on Tue, Jan 10, 12 at 20:28
S. penstemonoides as well as S. roemeriana , S. lyrata, S. texana, and S. engelmannii are more closely related to Eurasian and S. African sages than they are to other American sages.. |
Ralph, I still need to get you over here to visit one of these days. I'm going to be swimming in oxyphora seedlings soon, but I've also got a few well rooted cuttings from last fall. You're welcome to either or both, and I'd love to get hold of S. penstemonoides again. I've also got fresh seed from S. squalens (selfed) and am trying to do some crosses with S. univerticillata and S. dorisiana. |
- Posted by hummersteve 6 (My Page) on Sat, Feb 4, 12 at 15:09
Well I have this one cutting that I have nursed thru this winter [the only oxy to prevail] and I started with only two or three leaves and it pretty much remained that way to the point I was thinking it might be dead. I took this cutting in late summer. So after many months it seems finally its starting to grow some. Just recently it even has shot up a new lower stem. I now suspect it move into a better growing mode. |
- Posted by hummersteve 6 (My Page) on Sun, Feb 26, 12 at 0:27
As I did mention earlier in this thread I was able to collect 4 seeds from oxyphora and I have sown those inside under cover so far no results. Im guessing these will take their sweet time. I noticed that cuttings also grow much more slowly during winter than any other cuttings. It all seems to be a learning experience with these guys. This plant in my garden like everything else gets chopped to the ground then covered with tarp or heavy plastic. I get 100% return with this method "Dons Method". |
Don't give up on those seeds. Mine pretty much all germinated and I've got about 75 seedlings at this point. The parent plant and cuttings are all starting to put on new growth now, too. I've also got germination from my univerticillata-dorisiana cross, which produced seed both ways, although better using univerticillata as the seed parent. |
- Posted by rich_dufresne z7 NC (My Page) on Mon, Feb 27, 12 at 20:23
I'll be building a totally screened in nursery table soon, so I can do hand pollination of potted plants during the growing season. I hope to get a lot of crosses done this year. I hope to repair my old refrigerator and also build a storage case where I will store both pollen and seed. I'm not too surprised to hear that dorisiana and univerticillata have crossed, If the hybrid is vigorous and takes to good summer growth, it might make a nice introduction as an herb, since the c=scents of both parents are similar. Be sure to select for a nice scent. |
- Posted by hummersteve 6 (My Page) on Fri, Mar 2, 12 at 11:56
My seeds as of yet on oxyphora have not germinated but I did take a cutting from cutting and it rooted beautifully. Rich-- Is there any chance for you to get any of the Salvia Amistad, hoping. |
- Posted by rich_dufresne z7 NC (My Page) on Fri, Mar 2, 12 at 12:37
Everyone is still waiting on that one. There seems to be some sort of snag involving getting it listed as PPAF (plant patent applied for) either here or in Europe. I can't speak for the person who has the rights for this plant. No one in the US has a handle on the situatiion, as far as I know. Everyone who has seen it wants it distributed. |
Patent madness has set in on Amistad. It should become widely available later this season, and may be a Big Box store item. |

Can someone tell me if this sage is very slow about returning. So far I have no signs of any foliage around or on the old wood. These were covered for the winter. At least I am glad I took cuttings that I can use. |

Beautiful sage! Rich when do you start selling plants? We have similar weather, and are there any in particular you would recommend? I just recently received some plants I ordered online. This is what I ordered. I will take cuttings of the salvia's that are not hardy here. Salvia 'Peggy' Hopefully Salvia Oxyohra, if I can buy one from you Rich. |
- Posted by hummersteve 6 (My Page) on Wed, May 30, 12 at 15:48
I have found that this plant loves water and loves feeding. Im wondering how it gets fed in the andes mts of bolivia. Or does it not need to be fed like I feed mine. |
- Posted by rich_dufresne z7 NC (My Page) on Thu, May 31, 12 at 9:49
hummersteve: They can be slow coming back. It depends on how big they got, and the number of stolons and subdivisions that were produced underground. These will have active nodes that will produce axillary growth. The survival of these nodes mostly depends on frost penetration, and the robustness of the nodes and their connection to stored food sources like tubers and rhizomes. The slowness of soil temperatures to warm up is also a factor controlling the time of emergence. When I propagate plants, I like to make sure I have at least one active node under the soil line; when I set them out, I like to plant them a few nodes deeper, again to increase the chances of forming a good underground system. This sage is too new to make many claims right now, and your experiences and reporting are valuable. I can say that it has come back for most everyone I've talked to in North Carolina in zone USDA Zone 7, which had a zone 8 winter. It's too early to make reliable hardiness claims colder than Zone 8. |

Im sorry to say the ones I had inground did not survive nor the cuttings I took. So I start over. I have some inground and some in pots. Anyway what I wanted to say was all are forming bulbs from which the flowers will come . Is anyone far enough ahead to have blooms/flowers from oxyphora? |
Never assume that this Salvia is winter-hardy. It may come back in a warm area, but if so, will be very late to flower. I take cuttings in late summer, easy to root, and keep these fairly dry and frost-free in winter. By April/May they will take off, and flower from June onwards.....though they are sulking a bit in the current dreadful English summer! So much rain makes the buds abort. |
- Posted by hummersteve 6 (My Page) on Sun, Jul 8, 12 at 23:50
I never assumed they were winter hardy, considering they were in my main garden bed the entire bed gets cut down then covered each winter with tarp, heavy plastic and/or bags of leaves/mulch and most everything returns when before I did this most did not return. Obviously I will once again take cuttings even though mine failed last winter. |
- Posted by rich_dufresne z7 NC (My Page) on Mon, Jul 9, 12 at 11:13
With oxyphora, you will need medium-sized plants with some appreciable root stock to winter it over. I have gotten my best results with plants in 3.5 inch pots that have grown a main stem with at least eight nodes and several side shoots. The roots should at least reach all the faces of the pot, but need not cover the faces. In other words, the soil should not fall off the roots when the plant is lifted out the pot. Oxyphora needs about 3 to 4 weeks of decent growth to get to this stage. When I tried to overwinter just potted rooted cuttings when growth had stopped I lost over 70% of the plants, and the remainder sputtered along. This is optimal for almost all overwintered plants. We are about through with a really long 100 degree spell, and some of my plants were blasted, primarily because of lousy timing on watering - some too soon or deeply, with resulting root rot, and some because I got to them too late. My nursery that holds my collection is a mile from my residence. |
- Posted by hummersteve 6 (My Page) on Thu, Jul 26, 12 at 16:14
This season I have noticed good use of my oxyphora by hummingbirds compared to last year which had hardly had any use. This season is several times a day of use which I observe. Last season I didnt see any use untill peak migration and then very slight so Im very happy about that. No matter I had intended to keep growing oxyphora just for its uniqueness for myself at least as long as I can keep them going. They are going thru the torture test this summer along with everything else. |
- Posted by rich_dufresne z7 NC (My Page) on Mon, Aug 6, 12 at 23:37
I visited both the JC Raulston Arboretum and Plant Delights this year, and oxyphora is in bloom. It looks to me that blooming was delayed for about a month because of heat. The plants were robust, though. |
- Posted by hawkeye_wx z5 east-central IA (My Page) on Tue, Oct 2, 12 at 19:12
I'd really like to try this sage next year. It is very cool-looking. I may have a spot open in my garden. The spot gets afternoon and evening sun. It is against the garage and gets quite hot, likely the hottest spot in the entire yard. The sun reflects off the siding and the general area is pretty enclosed as well. The last two years I've had black & blue and schumannii in that spot and both have struggled if not watered daily. Would oxyphora be ok in such a hot location? |
After just 2 years of growing this one I am still working out what it wants. Last year's plant was wintered over on my cold porch and planted this spring at the edge of the garden in rather sandy soil. It is now about 5 feet tall and 4 feet wide. Rich isn't the only one who suspected excessive heat may have delayed bloom because mine didn't really hits its stride until into August after the weather broke. My take is that it likes regular watering since other cuttings which didn't get regular water didn't grow particularly well. I am also concluding that you can only expect so much from a cutting in its first year and that two year or older plants are much much better. |
- Posted by rich_dufresne z7 NC (My Page) on Sun, Oct 7, 12 at 13:18
Salvia oxyphora was rather late this year, and blooms appeared early August from large plants only. I'm just now seeing flowers on the medium sized ones. That's also true for most other salvias. A lot of my sages were set back quite a bit by the ten day 100 degree hot spell. There were delayed effects that carried over through late August. For me, this means that I lose both small and stock plants. I'd taken cuttings from Tony Avent's trial garden early August, and most did not root (I don't have a misting system). When I went back mid-September for replacements, I found that some of the same trial plants I had lost in pots had also either died or weakened in Tony's beds during the mostly 90 degree August, which was not that unusual. The new batch of cuttings seemed to root much better. The horticulture of these new sages needs investigation. Temperature range for optimal growth, watering frequency, soil types (especially humus and drainage), as well as exposure (full microclimate conditions included), and fertility needs are at the top of the list. |
Last fall the cuttings rooted at 100%. If the new set roots I will try pinching back the leader a soon as possible and then pinch back the sets of side shoots too as winter progresses. Most of the last year's cutting wouldn't set side shoots in the summer until the first bloom was almost finished - it happened the year before too. Maybe the delayed first bloom will lead to bushier plants by August? |
Rich, I have a S. puberula 'El Butano' that has grown to six feet tall and recently finally started blooming. My impression is that its flowers are very similar to those of the S. oxyphora growing at the nearby J C Raulston Arboretum. This similarity led me to wonder whether it might be possible to cross these two? |
- Posted by rich_dufresne z7 NC (My Page) on Wed, Nov 21, 12 at 13:34
Ralph, that would be an interesting cross. Beware, though - we are due for a killing frost Saturday night. |
- Posted by hummersteve 6 (My Page) on Wed, Jan 23, 13 at 12:15
Im not exactly sure when I first took these cuttings maybe late august/sept but they are doing nicely compared to what I tried last season. Salvia Oxyphora |
Beautiful plants! You must have great light. This year we are growing the bulk of our oxyphora from our own seed. We now have 2 selected varieties as well, after going through hundreds of seedlings to find ones that are compact, well branched, bloom early and have large floral displays. I'll post pics as soon as I can. By the way, I have had zero success hybridixing with this species, which is a shame. |

KermitC Thanks- I grow mine under simple shoplights no gro-lights. I place them in front of this large window for photo taking. But later on they will need to be in front of this window as I will need the shoplights for seedlings. Winter light in front of this window is not acceptable for a long periods but for a short stay will be acceptable. |

If Salvias bloom at inopportune times, there will be slight chance of success. Seed set will fail if the plant is stressed. I'm looking at a lot of blooms in my greenhouse now, and they all have pollen, but the flowers are falling out quickly and are about half normal size. If I had a setup to catch and store pollen, I'd be doing that now. |
Kermit, early flowering well branched plants are something we need if we're to get most from this species in temperate zones - great work. |
Thanks! We hope to have these later in the 2013 season. Even for us, getting a good start outside is critical. |

Kermit In reference to the photos I posted above of the oxyphora of which Im quite proud they are really outgrowing the area under my shoplight even though I switch them around. BTW I dont feel photos do them justice. I will soon be moving them to in front of the slider in which you see them above. Im hoping they dont falter because of the move. Winter light where I live is not the best for growing cuttings but maybe it will suffice for a month or two. |
- Posted by rich_dufresne z7 NC (My Page) on Wed, Jan 30, 13 at 18:23
Overwintering rooted oxyphora cuttings depends on their developing a good root structure with not too much soil moisture. Bright, cool sun helps. |
My Salvia oxyphora survived this past winter. It is making nice growth from the crown. It was a very easy winter with no snow accumulation, an unusual event for northern Delaware. |

Kermit C, which species did you try hybridizing with oxyphora? I struck out last year as well but am taking another stab at it now with S. urica and a S. mexicana that's blooming again in the cool spring that we've had. Last time I used oxyphora pollen so this time I'm trying it as the seed parent and I'm seeing some seed developing with the mexicana cross. Now I just need to be sure not to accidentally break that branch off... |

Karen, thanks for that tip - I'm going to do some myself, especially after I've constructed a totally enclosed nursery table to keep out pesky carpenter bumblebees and other floral visitors. |
We have tried all the "usual suspects" - mexicana, gesneriiflora, karwinskii, chiapensis. No luck. Keep us posted on any progress. Any mixing of these genes has promise. |

When I planted my oxyphora I sprinkled in some osmocote. I also gave it a shot of liquid fertilizer on June 3rd. If this plant is a heavy feeder, how often should I be giving it additional liquid fertilzer? |
Sad to report that the seed didn't fully mature. Kermit, did you try your crosses both ways? |
- Posted by rich_dufresne z7 NC (My Page) on Sat, Jun 29, 13 at 9:31
hawkeye, I'd feed it if it stops or slows down growing, especially if it still looks robust. There has been a lot of rain, and fertilizer will get leached out. If the plant looks stressed, that may be a sign of root damage from excess moisture. Fertilizing may not be a good idea if the plant wilts while in wet soil. |
Yes, we always do reciprocal crossing. |

My one oxyphora did ok this year (my first year growing it). This photo was taken in mid October when it was blooming the best. It liked the cool late-season weather. It bloomed ok during summer, but intense heat caused young buds to die. Growth-wise, the plant grew more slowly and remained smaller than I expected. If I was going to keep it in that same spot, I'd plant two of them together to fill in the space better. However, I think that spot is too hot so the current plan for next year is to plant one oxyphora in a sunny, but less hot, spot about ten feet off the left edge of the photo and a second oxyphora in a shadier spot on the other side of the yard that gets only morning sun. It will be interesting to see which plant performs better. The two new locations are also easily viewable from the house so I'll finally be able to see if hummers here like oxyphora. The cuttings I took in late September and early October all rooted quickly. I have three of them growing in 4" pots inside. They grow like weeds, especially under the shoplight(two of them are now in the cool window to keep their growth in check). I've already had to cut a couple of them back. |

Personally, I feel it's more ego and arrogance than religion. If he were truly religious, he would be shying away from the attention rather than displaying himself in front of millions of people.
Yes. He is obviously gay and in the closet.
No. He is truly a virgin and religious as he claims.
Personally, I feel it's more ego and arrogance than religion. If he were truly religious, he would be shying away from the attention rather than displaying himself in front of millions of people.
Whether a football star, to paraphrase my man T.J., worships one god or a hundred is none of my business. It doesn't break my leg or pick my pocket.
What does concern me is his politics. When you make a commercial for Focus On The Family saying that no woman should ever have a certain medical procedure, ever. And thus, you align yourself with FotF's lobbying arm the AFA & its anti-woman and anti-LGBT agenda, then I can pretty much be sure I don't buy anything you endorse. Ever.
Or until you apologize for being a d-bag.
I wonder if Lebron James would get this much attention and lust on this site if after every successful shot, he got down on his knees and thanked the jesus.
Or why there aren't countless threads on Matt Hughes(UFC, for those not in the know), who's much more of a hardcore christian(and more attractive, but not less of a total douche) - hell, he even tried to preach to his team about it every chance he got!
If Tiger Woods became a vocal convert and put crosses on his golf clubs, would we all watch to see his tight khakis?
The things I wonder about each time Tebow comes up on this site.
"As anarchism rears its face,
They are answered by an iron fist..."
I don't know about Matt Hughes, but generally I think this sort of thing is only perceived as cute if you're real, real white and from that middle bit that conservatives think is the "Real" America.
Tim Tebow is just playing up to his fanbase.
ETA: I will say that one of the Evangelical, non-denominational, theology-lite/fundamentalist-heavy churches in my area sponsors its own MMA league. No, seriously. It's a thing in the heartland, "good godly men, fighting against the feminization of the church," - so maybe Matt Hughes does have a fanbase of sweaty-palmed & Jesus-loving Closet Cases who scream out his name while they lamely mount their wives. . .
I can hardly wait for his fall from grace when he is exposed as a cheating cunt hound one day who has a tranny hooker bf on the side.
Seriously. Tim.
Jesus Christ doesn't give a fuck if you score a touchdown.
And I'm with Jesus.
And you only cheapen your religion by making it seem that you are Jesus' special pet.
Another Tebow thread and NONE of you get the fact that Tim is simply "Milking the cow"....
Some Athletes choose to Fuck a Kardashian to gain Fame..Tim prefers to Fuck with your mind..
>>>The things I wonder about each time Tebow comes up on this site.
I'd say it's mostly because the NFL is a larger sport across the board than UFC, golf, or even the NBA. Plus, I don't see much of your guys getting the press that 15 does.
Oh, and there's that other aspect.
umm i didn't know who Tebow was until i watched SNL (saturday night live) and i thought it was funny praising god for his success instead of his hard work and strong will and discipline.
Did anyone listen to the lyrics on post 1 video clip.?
That is what a true christian is LOL
This one is the best:
LOL at this clip:
Haters gonna hate. Tebow is charming and a guy you want your gay son to date with
I don't think that God is at all interested in football outcomes or our sexual preferences.
Tim loved Jesus as much as his wife (if not more).
Is that mean Tim is gay? No
coz Tim and Jesus (male) love each other so much !!! It's call a brotherhood in Christ.
BTW, is "Tebow" a fake surname ? It aren't European name.
Sounds fake to me
Maybe they do if their state doesn't recognise their marriage cause they both have wangs lol.
Seriously though, the guy reminds me of a painting of a cave man. I don't see the appeal, although if JUB is any indication, I'm definitely in the minority and he's the second cumming of Jesus Christ.
He's butch.
This is pretty much the way I think too. I had a lot of problems with athletes making such statements and supporting such causes. It influences a lot of people unfortunately as ignorant as they are.
As far as Tebow himself... I don't get the appeal... he's not very attractive and he's a complete douchebag.
I just hope he has a reality check and his team does horribly... I guess that'll because he pissed off the big man. Lol.
I love citing this video... my all time favorite cultural analyst.
According to him, he is a good person because he love and fear god.
If he don't love and fear god, he will become unbalanced like smoking, swearing, getting fat, causing fights, getting drunk, gamble, stealing, cheating ... etc.
off topic:
Considered he is a true Christian.
Are there any unhealthy "true" Christian ?
Tim tebow claims he is a VIRGIN and will be one
until Holy Matrimony.
Jesus is the 'Son of God', born a virgin of a virgin
by way of virgin birth.
Thus Josie, I was taking your comment and bending it slightly
as if to say
(Tim Tebow) is A guy I would want to date my son (Jesus}
Sorry Josie...guess I was being overly abstruse.
I wish they would (except Woods), they're both way more attractive than Tebow is. And more interesting. I've been apathetic towards him since he was a UF. He has zero personality and he's not very attractive.. He's a solid QB, but nothing to rave about. I'd take Cam Newton over him in the long run. I have never understood why he's such a fad.
My thoughts on Tebow...
tom brady is so much hotter. why aren't we talking about him? fuck tebow.
one thing about the closet/you don't have to hurry/it will be bad tomorrow/so brother, don't you worry
I could care less about his religion, political stance, or his ego. I just wanna suck him dry until all the jizz from his balls are no more! Damn he's fine! He is so hot I wanna stick my tongue in his mouth and fuck it with his tongue. HOt!
Tebow bows b4 God
^^ Ha! I love how that other black guy is looking at Tim all, "Yeah you better bow and shake his hand bitch!"
I have an idea for the newest internet sensation...
I call it, "TEBLOWING"!
You kneel on one knee, while sucking a dude off.
Now go out there and make it go viral!
I never really paid too much attention to Tim Tebow until this past football season, but after watching a few interview clips of him... he comes across as a very genuine, likeable guy. Total opposite of what I was expecting after reading some of the views expressed here and in the real world. His conservative background (along with that infamous super bowl commercial) aside, he seems like a good kid. *shrugs*
@ star warrior: That image with your comment is hysterical!
What do you think about Denver Quarterback Tim Tebow praying on bended knee before all spectators? I think he's acting holier than thou and feigning humility. Consider that the team prays in the locker room before each game.
It says in the Bible:
Matthew 6:1-4 (But) take care not to perform righteous deeds in order that people may see them; otherwise, you will have no recompense from your heavenly Father. When you give alms, do not blow a trumpet before you, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets to win the praise of others. Amen, I say to you, they have received their reward. But when you give alms, do not let your left hand know what your right is doing, so that your almsgiving may be secret. And your Father who sees in secret will repay you.
Granted, Tebowing is not almsgiving, but I think he does it only to win the admiration and praise of others. And saying that he's still a virgin further adds to my contention that he's just acting pious.
I've always felt that he does it for the attention, and he seems to thrive on it. If he was modest as God indicates he should be, he shouldn't be so public about it. He knows everyone is watching him and all the cameras are on him. Too much pride and vanity and and arrogance for him to be a proper Christian. I won't even talk about his pay cheque. (Maybe that's why he's Tebowing.)
what if tim tebow died tomorrow and god was waiting right there by the pearly gates and told him "my son, thou shall give me a blowjob to get into heaven or he shall burn in the fires of hell for eternity". do you think tebow would get on his knees and put "god's love" in his mouth? this not a question, it's real talk.
one thing about the closet/you don't have to hurry/it will be bad tomorrow/so brother, don't you worry
I think I'm tired of seeing endless threads pop up about this guy. Andrew Luck will be a better franchise QB, mark my words. And he will do it without being a self righteous douchebag.
I was listening to Elvis Duran one morning and they mentioned Tebowing and I thought it was a new exercise craze so I googled it and was like "ooohh".
I've never seen Tim Tebow, but I can imagine what his displays must be like.
The question is, what would a sincerely devout man dedicating his acts to God look like?
Your O.P. seemingly equates a public act of worship, prayer, or devotion with self-piety. If we accept your premise, the patriarchs and all the saints in the Bible were all being self-righteous every time they took a public stand for their faith. That would most definitely apply to Moses as he turned the staff to a snake in front of Pharaoh and the Egyptian court.
It is likely that Mr. Tebow ascribes to the belief that he is actually demonstrating humility because he IS willing to publicly humble himself and acknowledge his Creator, especially in a field like sports where large egos prevail. To impugn his motives and his sincerity and impute some sort of false humility seems deeply cynical. It would seem to require some sort of validation beyond just the innuendo of the opining commenter who is a complete stranger to Mr. Tebow.
Is it also assumed that all celebrities who give alms, i.e., large philanthropic donations, do so for self-aggrandizement? Are no one's motives to be accepted as genuine?
And to return to St. Matthew's injunction, I don't believe it was the intent of the author to scorn true acts of worship, only those that are intended to bring some sort of glory to the demonstrator, not to his God. Mr. Tebow's acts are well-known within Christianity to be attempts to deflect some of the imputed sports glory to the One whom the believer sees as the Giver of Life. It would seem that a sports hero has no need to garner religious glory through feigned humility when he already is covered in the glory he has earned in competition.
Likewise, Mr. Tebow is likely making his virginity a public item in an attempt to not allow silence on the subject to enable him to "pass" for a sexually active single man. There has been a sort of hypocrisy among many Christian athletes who espouse celibacy before marriage, but then either practice promiscuity or allow friends and fans to assume it is true rather than the contrary.
None of this is to say we have to agree with his morality, faith, or interpretation of what his personal conduct should be, but it is a bit snide to just slander him with nothing as evidence other than his actual acts of devotion.
Many would also confuse pious with self-pious. Christians are called by their scriptures to act piously, but not self-pious. Today, many religiously illiterate use the two phrases synonymously, but they are opposite. To be holy is not the same as to behave holier than thou. To be separate is not the same as to behave with contempt for those who do not act similarly.
Would Gandhi be able to pass the standard you have imposed on Mr. Tebow?
I think I'm going to give you a Tebow.
Joan of Arc did a lot of that. She died a fiery death, and no god saved her as she burned at the stake.
I don't give a monkeys for the guy, and the more airtime off pitch you give this attention whore, the more crud spews forth from all the foamers.
What a charlatan. I never did like him, and I never thought he was that attractive anyways.
Nevermind, this board makes no sense.
TIM TEBOW jn his underwear...........
He's on my Top 10 list of celebrities that should be put on a rocket to the Sun, right behind Ke$ha and Snooki.

That would be a better representation..
It doesn't need a review. It just needs to be equal and done for having bags searched to go upstairs (3rd floor)... not that hard.. but it does require a person to do it.
What recently occurred in Kaufman County, Texas, outside of the courthouse environment does comes more to mind, than does drawing any conclusions from what occurred at this years Boston Marathon.
From my perspective, and I am certainly no expert, I see the danger more outside of the courthouse in the parking lots, and the sidewalks that surround the building.
Just my opinion, not that my opinion matters.
For what it is worth, there have already been at least two shootings at the Courthouse. One of these was in the early 70's. If I recall correctly it started outside a Court Room during a Divorce. Idiot shot his wife. He fled and was shot at the bottom of the stairs by a Deputy who, was in the Sheriff's Office and ran up the hall in response to hearing shots. It was a long time ago and I'm not sure I'm remembering all the events, but the basic facts are there.
The second one was in the very late 70's or very early 80's. A prisoner was being arraigned on a some misdemeanor and Felony charges. As I recall, the prisoner had a couple of fellows come to the arraignment. They jumped the single escorting Deputy. During the assault on the Deputy, who was pretty badly injured, the prisoner got the deputy's revolver. All 3 men fled. An off duty Portland Police Officer who just happened to be in court (different room) that day, gave pursuit on foot when he found out what had happened. He had very little information to go on as far as who the bad guys were.
He chased two men down along 5th street. He was walking them back to the courthouse not knowing there was a 3rd person armed with the deputy's revolver, hiding behind a pickup, waiting to ambush the PPB officer. The ambush was successful and the officer was hit high center chest. He was able to fire off 6 rounds as he crumpled to the ground, but didn't hit the suspect. A Mac Officer responded from the Sherriff's Office after hearing the shots.
The security system at the YCCH came only after these incidents. Judge Collins was there for the last incident. If he sees a problem, they might want to see what can be done. Static security is compromised security. It might be something as simple as moving a few things around.
Maybe Nathalie could go archive diving for a follow up piece.

Hello everyone,
I've been interested in trying this game out for some time. I was going to purchase the Base game but noticed it is "Not Yet Available" on FFG, then I checked Coolstuffinc. and didn't see it on there either. I did, however, find it on Amazon. But I'm somewhat leary by FFG's out of stock description and wondering if they are starting to phase the game out? Does anyone know about this?
Also I'd like to get someone's overall opinion of the game. If you've bought expansions in the double digits than I would very much value your opinion. I'm just curious if this is a game worth getting into. I'm the type of gamer who is obssessive about collecting everything and considering how many expansions there are, that would become quite the investment. Any detailed review(s) of the game would be most welcome, veteran or not!
Thanks a bunch!

Pakistan's Waseem Reaches Boxing Finals
December 29, 2011 by TMO
By Parvez Fatteh, Founder of http://sportingummah.com, email@example.com
File: Mohammad Waseem, right, hits Haroon Khan. |
Pakistan's star boxer Mohammad Waseem fought his way into the finals of the Second Shaheed Benazir Bhutto International Boxing tournament at the Liaquat Gymnasium in Islamabad earlier this week. Waseem defeated India's Madan Lal in the semifinals of the 52 kg division.
Waseem emerged as the only boxer from the host Pakistani contingent to fight for gold as seven other Pakistani fighters had to settle for bronze medals after they were beaten in the semifinals of their respective categories. Mohammad Nisar, Jamal Nasir, Nisar Khan, Ghulam Mustafa, Niamatullah, Nadir Khan and Yasir Javed all fell in the semifinals as part of a disappointing overall performance by Pakistan, who fielded a whopping total of 34 boxers in the event.
Waseem, who crushed Senevira from Sri Lanka in the quarter-final on Monday, faced even less adversity against Madan Lal in the semifinal and edged the Indian 19-12. "Thanks God, I qualified for the final," Waseem told The News after his fight. "I did not face much difficulty and am confident to lift gold for Pakistan," he said. Waseem is scheduled to face Benson Gicharu from Kenya in the final. Benson got a walkover against Latipovr Jasurbe from Uzbekistan in the semifinals.
By beating Madan Lal, who had outgunned England-born Haroon Khan in the quarter-final on Monday, Waseem proved that he is better than Amir Khan's brother in the 52kg weight category. The superb show from Waseem must have convinced the authorities that they were wrong when they were compelling the Quetta-born lad to reduce his weight and play in the 49kg in the World Championship held in Baku back in the fall of this year.

Updated: November 6, 2012 11:23PM
FISHERS, Ind. (AP) — Mitt Romney brought Indiana back into the Republican fold Tuesday, reclaiming a traditionally GOP state that was usurped by Democrat Barack Obama in 2008 on his way to his first term as president.
Four years ago, Obama became the first Democratic presidential candidate to carry Indiana since Lyndon Johnson in 1964. But the presidential campaigns bypassed Indiana this year in favor of battleground states such as Ohio.
The gamble paid off for Romney, who handily won the state as voters expressed their disenchantment with Obama's handling of the stumbling economy.
For some who voted for the change Obama promised in 2008, it was time for change again.
John Vixon, 77, a retired Indianapolis resident, said he has voted as a Democrat since the 1950s but voted Republican for the first time in his life Tuesday. In fact, he voted a straight Republican ticket.
"I'm a Democrat, but I got tired of all the Democrats," he said. "I know they've got to do something about health care and Social Security and Medicare, but I don't want the government to take over my way of life."
Joe Reece, 34, an Indianapolis software salesman, said he believes Romney can bolster the country's weak economy.
"I feel like he's got the background and the acumen to be able to help us reverse course quickly," Reece said. "I'm hopeful the next four years will truly see the change we talked about and have needed for so long."
Despite the presidential contest, much of the state's attention was focused on a bitter fight to replace longtime Republican U.S. Sen. Richard Lugar, who lost the GOP primary after he was targeted by the tea party.
The race between Democrat Joe Donnelly and Republican Richard Mourdock had been tight until Mourdock said during a debate that a pregnancy resulting from rape is "something God intended." Democrats pounced on the remark, and polls taken in the weeks before Tuesday's election showed Donnelly with a lengthening lead.
Janet Sutton, of Indianapolis, said she voted for Lugar in the GOP primary last spring and then reluctantly voted for Donnelly on Tuesday, even though she wants Republicans to win a majority in the Senate.
"I sat in there quite a while trying to figure out which way I was going to go," said Sutton, who would only say she is in her 60s. "I did not like some of the issues Mourdock had."
Sutton said she didn't like Mourdock's comment on rape, though she wasn't sure he intended it the way he said it.
"I don't know if what he said is really the way he meant to say it," she said. "I never heard any other explanation from him concerning that. Maybe I missed it."
Voting was heavy across the state, but Valerie Kroeger, a spokeswoman for the Indiana secretary of state's office, said it went smoothly in most places. Significant voting delays were reported in heavily Republican Hamilton County just north of Indianapolis, where voters were still standing in line at some sites as the deadline for polls to close passed.
A technical glitch delayed the start of voting by about 20 minutes at some sites in the suburban county, but Hamilton County Election Administrator Kathy Richardson said waits of up to three hours in some places were more due to turnout fed by keen interest in the presidential election and a local referendum on whether Fishers should remain a town or become a city.
"I knew it would be this way," Richardson said. "We put every voting machine that we own out," she added.
For some, the wait wasn't worth it.
Part-time retail worker Charlene Shannon, 67, said the line to vote was so long at Hamilton Southeastern High School in Fishers that some people, including an elderly neighbor who is hypoglycemic and had to go get food, gave up.
"People are leaving and not voting, and that's so unfair," she said, noting that her son waited in line for five minutes to vote in Chicago. "Something is wrong here."
Associated Press writers Charles Wilson, Ken Kusmer and Tom Murphy in Indianapolis and Tom Coyne in Mishawaka contributed to this report.

Any old Netrunner players here? What was your reaction when you saw this revival? Positive? Negative? Skeptical? Where did you hear the news?
I still remember my 1st time seeing that green/purple box at the local hobby store all those years ago. I can't believe it was so long ago.
When I saw this from a yahoo group mailing list, I think it is called netrunner hub, I thought it was just some get together event they were hosting. But then there were like 8 related replies. So I got curious and looked. Eyes wide, jaws dropped; couldn't believe what I was reading.
Netrunner is my fav. CCG. No other card game matched it (and I tried a lot) until FFG made AGoT, which sits right next to Netrunner in my mind. Now the same FFG is bringing back Netrunner!! Thank you so much! TAKE MY MONEY!!
I love the fact that it will be LCG. Netrunner's core card base always worked well. It worked so well that it was possible to have a really good time with just a starter deck. That seems to match the LCG format perfectly.
But 1 think I'm honestly not to sure about is some of the card art and template design. Some look amazing. But some has odd choice in color. I hope they are not finalized yet.
Also not sure about the setting. Android seems like a nice setting, but Netrunner was always more old school retro cyberpunk, with cyber decks and such, and a near future setting. Android, I am not too familiar with, but isn't it more far future, like say 23XX or something? And there'd be no more "decks", right?

Ingredients: Premium, organic, raw blue agave nectar .
About Our Agave Bear ™ Product LineAgave Bear is the healthy alternative to traditional sweeteners like sugar and honey. Made from raw organic agave nectar, this plant based sweetener has gone through a centrifugation process which allows the agave nectar to remain as close to its raw state as possible. To produce organic agave nectar, juices from the agave plant are extracted, filtered and never heated to more than 118 degrees Fahrenheit. Although there are less expensive and faster ways to produce agave syrup, this method maintains the raw character and nutritional content of the syrup. Agave syrup contains many important minerals such as magnesium, iron, calcium and potassium. Agave Bear is also low-glycemic and will not spike your blood sugar levels like traditional sugars. With its mild flavor and ability to dissolve quickly, our organic agave sweetener is the perfect addition to many of your favorite foods, beverages and baked goods. The Aztecs prized the agave plant as a gift from the gods and used the liquid from its core to flavor foods and drinks. Now, due to increasing awareness of agave nectar's many beneficial properties, it is becoming the preferred sweetener of health conscious consumers. Give your sweet tooth a healthy break with Agave Bear organic sweetener!

Drunken driver who killed Lockport girl headed back to prison for more DUIs
By Janet Lundquist firstname.lastname@example.com January 7, 2013 2:00PM
Candice Graham
Updated: February 9, 2013 6:17AM
A man who previously spent years in prison for a drunken crash that killed a 10-year-old Lockport girl is headed back to prison on drunken driving convictions.
Will County Judge Amy Bertani-Tomczak sentenced Glen Higginbotham Jr., 34, of Yorkville, was sentenced Monday to 8 years in prison for two DUI charges stemming from incidents in 2010 and 2011.
"If there was ever a case where an individual is knocking on the prison door to get in, it would be this defendant," Assistant State's Attorney Tom Slazyk said.
Higginbotham spent eight years in prison for reckless homicide after a May 1999 crash in downtown Lockport that killed 10-year-old Candace Graham. Police said he was legally drunk and had cocaine in his system.
That night, he was driving 81 mph in a 35-mph zone with a blood-alcohol level more than twice the legal limit when he hit the car the girl was riding in.
Candace, who was not wearing a seat belt, was thrown into the back seat by the force of the collision, which occurred as her mother was pulling out of a convenience store parking lot. Constance Graham later admitted that she also was intoxicated at the time.
Higginbotham was in prison from May 2000 to July 2008 for the reckless homicide conviction, and then spent two years on parole.
On Dec. 4, 2010, officers caught Higginbotham drunk behind the wheel on Nicholson Street in Joliet. He pleaded guilty to that charge in March 2012.
The second DUI charge was from an incident on Dec. 25, 2011 when police said Higginbotham, who was on bond from the 2010 arrest, hit a vehicle on New Lenox Road near Oakview Drive in Joliet while driving drunk.
Higginbotham's attorney, Alonzo Zahour, argued that Higginbotham has shown remorse and has attended regular drug and alcohol classes while he has been in the county jail.
And Higginbotham on Monday said he was sorry.
"I apologize to the court for the mistakes that I've made. I'm doing what I can to help myself get past that," Higginbotham said, adding that he has attended the classes.
But Tomczak said she did not believe probation was an option for Higginbotham, and gave him four years in prison for each of the DUIs.
Will County State's Attorney Jim Glasgow said Higginbotham deserves the prison term.
"Glen Higginbotham is a menace to society whose abject failure to learn even the smallest lesson after causing a crash that killed a little girl has landed him back in prison where he belongs," Glasgow said.
A person who answered the phone at Candace Graham's grandmother's Tennessee residence said Graham's family did not want to comment on Higginbotham's new sentence.

the five-o trunk
by M.NII
M.Nii shorts have been worn by big wave riders of Makaha, Hawaii since becoming a staple in the surf community during the 50′s and 60′s. M.Nii Makaha shorts were born out of a "mom and pop" tailor shop that saw a need for comfortable and reliable swim shorts built with surfers in mind. Made from a simple twill, the shorts may have started a move toward durable built trunks. During the time, surfers would go to the M. Nii's shop and have custom shorts outfitted for them. While the custom shop may be long gone, surfers and fans alike may still enjoy the original M.Nii Makaha short as worn more than a half century ago.

Steel Your Nerves
Announcing the Upcoming Release of Hammer of the Emperor for Only War |
Only War | Published 07 December 2012 |
"This ain't training, trooper. This is the real thing. Those are real bullets and real bombs. This is war. If you want to make it through the next few hours alive, you better do exactly as I say and exactly as I do."
–Sergeant Rince Klebb, Baraspian 3rd Rifles, shortly before his death
The soldiers of the Imperial Guard stand resolute against the horrors of the galaxy. Arm yourself with new weapons and training to overcome the odds and vanquish your foes!
Only War is coming in just a few more days, and now, Fantasy Flight Games is pleased to announce its first handbook!
Hammer of the Emperor is a handbook for the brave soldiers of the Imperial Guard. New options for regiment creation and mixed regiments, along with details on renowned regiments like the Attilan Rough Riders and Tanith First-and-Only, give players unique ways to wage war in the 41st Millennium. Plus, enhance your missions with new Advanced Specialties, an expanded armoury, rules for Mounted Combat, and much more!
Holding the Line
For more on Hammer of the Emperor, here's a word from lead developer Max Brooke:
The Imperial Guard is the largest fighting force defending the Imperium of Mankind from the myriad of horrors that threaten it. As such, the men and women of its incredibly varied regiments are at the forefront of conflicts across the galaxy, giving their lives on stark battlefields far from their home worlds to safeguard the Imperium. Hammer of the Emperor is dedicated to these soldiers of the line, the Imperial Guard troopers who struggle through the most dire situations and foes the galaxy can unleash upon them with nothing but their lasguns, their wits, and their sheer determination.
Hammer of the Emperor covers a number of famous regiments from across the Imperium of Mankind, including the swift Attilan Rough Riders, the deadly Tanith First-and-Only, the intractable Valhallan Ice Warriors, and others. It also includes new Home Worlds, new Doctrines, and regimental Drawbacks, both to create these legendary regiments and to expand the options of players and Game Masters creating their own unique regiments. On the subject of creating unique regiments, Hammer of the Emperor includes rules for creating Mixed Regiment formations that allow for Guardsmen from different regiments to serve side-by-side.
Another major aspect of this book comes in the form of Advanced Specialities. These new options for seasoned Guardsman characters allow veteran troopers to gain new Specialities such as Brawler, Field Chirurgeon, and Sharpshooter, helping them either focus their abilities or expand into new skill sets to better serve on the battlefield. Beyond these specialized resources, Hammer of the Emperor has potent options, including a broad array of Talents, Comrade Orders, and wargear to help Player Characters of all Specialities wage war in the 41st Millennium.
Finally, to accompany new cavalry regiment options like the Death Riders of Krieg, Hammer of the Emperor includes rules for Mounted Combat, allowing troopers from Rough Rider regiments to fight from the backs of powerful steeds.
Hammer of the Emperor is full of new options to help players overcome the odds on the harsh battlefields of the far future, and I'm very excited to hear about the characters, regiments, and stories that people create with it.
Steel Your Nerves, Guardsman! Hammer of the Emperor is coming late in the first quarter of 2013, but in the meantime, check back for updates and further announcements.
Only War is a Warhammer 40,000 roleplaying game in which players take on the roles of soldiers in the Imperial Guard, the galaxy-spanning armies of the God-Emperor. In the face of overwhelming opposition, Guardsmen fight against mankind's many enemies for the very survival of humanity and the continuation of the Imperium's dominance over space.

We are so confident of our low prices that we will refund 150% of the purchase price if you find the same liftchair at a lower published price anywhere else. Our prices are so low that the manufacturers refuse to let us publish them! For an even lower price call us at 1-800-790-5104 or simply sign up for e-coupons to get our latest discounts. And remember, at US Medical Supplies you never pay for shipping on your new lifting chair within the continental US.
Reliability - US Medical Supplies has partnered with the leading manufacturers in the world to bring you the highest quality products available. AmeriGlide, Golden, and Pride products are made in the U.S.A. and delivered directly to you. And with our Quick Ship option, you receive your chair within days of purchase. In addition to a 1 year in-home warranty, US Medical Supplies also offers extended in-home warranties for many of our models. You will not find a better warranty offered from any other retailer.
Service - When you call most companies to purchase a mobility product, you may not even be talking to a native English speaker. Not the case with US Medical Supplies. When you call our dedicated toll-free lift chair number, you will be connected immediately to a factory trained specialist. No hold times, no wait, no hassle. That is the US Medical Supplies promise. In addition, if you ever have a problem with your purchase, we are available 7 days a week to assist you.
Selection - With literally hundreds of fabric, color, and style combinations to choose from, it's easy to see why US Medical Supplies is the premier provider of lift chair recliners on the Internet. No matter what your home decor, we have an electric lift chair to match.
As always, if you have any questions please contact one of our experts.
