The Zara London flagship store may have started a new wave of storefront designs. Forget window displays; the retail experience just became much more interesting and I'm excited to see what fashion franchises will follow this stunning redesign.
Located in the Westfield shopping center, the Zara London flagship store was re-constructed using panels of HI-MACS material. With the combined efforts of designer Zara Estudio and fabricators Gruppo Candido Hermid, this Zara store will surely see an increase in sales, pronto.

Miley Cyrus' New Year's resolution was obviously to continue from where she left off in 2013 – by revealing as much flesh as possible.
She starts in record time, just a little over a week by posing for her raunchiest Magazine photo shoot yet complete with multiple (and possibly intentional) nipple slips, fleshy moments and that very unsexy stuck out tongue for YOU magazine.
The pictures are actually outtakes from her photo-shoot for YOU magazine last year, but they didn't hit the internet until this week.
Quick Trivia:

Do you think in 2014, Miley might as well release her own sex tape or should she buy a bra and get herself the required help? Have your say in the comments below while checking out the rest of her raunchy magazine photo-spread courtesy of mileyhq.net.

HI. Can anyone tell me what Hostas will take a lot ,to full sun?? We would like to put 2 out front of our house. The only one I know of at the moment is Sum & Substance. Thanks for any help you can give me Bill |

How much sun are we talking? At what time of day? Any hosta out in the sun, especially afternoon sun, will need a lot more water than usual. That being said, most of the fragrant hostas will do well in hot sun. Some I have in afternoon sun here are: 'Fragrant Bouquet', 'Squash Casserole', 'Fried Bananas', 'Stained Glass', 'Cathedral Windows', 'Sunny Delight' and 'Guacamole'. There are many others that might do ok. It would be good to get specific info on the amount of sunlight (in hours) and what time of day the sun will hit the plants. |
Thanks for your quick reply.All day , full late afternoon sun. We have a small red Japanese maple In the centre & would like to put hosta on each side of the tree. The extra water is not a problem. I tried to include a photo taken this evening about 6:pm of the spot in question. Hope that helps. Bill |

I have a sunny spot, and I'm ordering 'Raucous Ruffles' because it supposedly performs well in 1/2 day or more of sun. I'll try it and see what happens. DD |
Here's a list which may be helpful: Sun Tolerant Hostas |
You can add Seducer to that already extensive list, mine is in sun for most of the day, especially the hottest part, and does well, though it has a little burn on the edges. It seems to get its best color there, and it's a gorgeous hosta. Karen |

That rock mulch could be a problem as it will act as a heat intensifier in full sun. The rocks will intensify the heat in mid-summer. You might need drip irrigation in that area to give the Hosta what the moisture they will need in full sun. Steve |

Try a Paradigm there. Inexpensive, but whatever you put there - give it a couple of years at least to get the roots going. Paul |
That is a brutal spot for a hosta... as already noted, rock mulch is a poor choice for hostas... the rock holds way too much heat long into the night... also the mass of the brick wall will hold and reflect heat into the evening... also the brick reflects a lot of light, making it even brighter than just the direct sun... like the way you get a double-sunburn on a boat on water due to reflected light. I'm assuming, from the full day sun comment, that this is also a south-facing wall. So - I'd second the nomination for the fragrant plants with plantaginea heritage... Fragrant Bouquet, Guacamole, Fried Green Tomatoes, Fried Bananas, Stained Glass, Cathedral Windows, Holy Mole, Avocado, Cerveza, Mojito, Tortilla chip, Ming Treasure... and good old plantaginea, for that matter. There's a full color palate except for pure white, so you can do great complementary planting with these... and enjoy the fragrance as well... |

Got something to declare, Microsoft? A pair of new Kinect-focussed internal development teams, perhaps? The company has posted job listings for roles at Platform Next Studios and Leap, which are apparently poised to deliver a new generation of Kinect games.
Leap needs a Senior Software Development Engineer. "We're the people that developed Kinect and profoundly changed the way people interact with technology," bellows the listing in question. "Now our incubation team is ready to change the world again, but we need your help!
"We're a small and growing team of experienced incubators and game developers working with truly inspiring entertainment technology. We brainstorm exciting and ground-breaking experiences and quickly build working prototypes on top of developing tech. We transform our ideas into reality through shipping first-to-market products."
The right candidate will have "an array of skills in AI, gameplay, animation, effects, and physics" and will be "excited to work in an agile development studio to build and iterate on prototypes to evolve and demonstrate our creative vision". Assuming such a prodigy steps forward, we can expect "polished entertainment experiences" and "a compelling and innovative title".
Elsewhere, Microsoft is hiring for a Human Resource Business Partner, based at Microsoft's HQ in Redmond, to support the mysterious Platform Next Studios and Halo 4 developer 343 Industries. Platform Next specialises in "pioneering experiences on Kinect".
Last summer, Microsoft revealed it was aiming to release one Kinect-capable Xbox Live Arcade game a month. Staffing up makes sense, then - though it's also possible Leap and Next are working on Xbox 360's successor, tipped to offer Kinect built-in.
Thanks for listening out, NeoGAF.

4'x6' Red and Yellow Ventana Rio Floor Mat
Better than expected!
When I ordered this mat, I wasn't sure what to expect, based on the low price, and we needed something temporary for our dining room floor. When I opened the package, I was impressed that the colors look exactly like they do in the pictures and that it's completely reversible for a different look - it's like two rugs/floor mats in one! Additionally, because of the material it's made of, it's extremely durable. I think I might order one in another color, for use as a beach mat or on our patio. Excellent product, super-fast shipping. Highly recommend!

Great Outdoor Rug
I've been using this rug/mat for several weeks. The rug looks like it's weaved from a shiny plastic material. The colors are bright and I love the pattern. It's light weight and easy to hose off or shake to clean. The shine of the material is the only turn off as it makes the rug look inexpensive. For that reason I would not recommend this rug for indoor use. It would probably be great to use at the beach instead of a blanket.

Nintendo has outlined plans to release new download content for Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Gates to Infinity "on a regular basis" from launch.
The download content will range from new Mystery Dungeons to explore, new items to collect and new Pokémon to interact with.
Four downloadable mystery dungeons will be available when the game launches in US on March 24, one of which, the Poké Forest Mystery Dungeon, will be free to download from launch day until April 30.
Nintendo says it will follow up with additional content to "launch regularly throughout April". A new trailer offering a peek at the DLC is below.
As series fans will know, Mystery Dungeon offers up randomly generated dungeons, with items and power ups that'll change location each time a player enters them. Pokémon, items and treasure within a Mystery Dungeon will change location every time a player re-enters.
Gates to Infinity will include wireless multiplayer for up to four players in a 'Companion mode' alongside the single-player 'Hero mode', and StreetPass features.
A UK release has yet to be confirmed.

I am trying to plan an area in the yard with ferns and hostas - the area is along the deck, about 3 feet wide and several feet.
Since these plants only come up in the summer, what are companion plants that look decent in winter yet still allow the ferns & hostas to pop up in the spring? I have solomon's seal but wasn't sure if it is too big of a plant to put in this narrow space. For ground cover underneath these guys I was thinking maybe ajuga or creeping jenny, but will those allow ferns & hostas to pop through or will they smother them? Is it best to only put mulch on top of the ferns & hostas? The mix of ferns I will be planting are as follows: Cinnamon
Are any of these evergreen in zone 7b? (Monroe, NC) I'm thinking Christmas fern might be. They are in a mixed bag, so if anyone knows how to identify the bare roots, that would be helpful too. (If there's no way to identify the bare roots, maybe I could plant them into little pots to grow a bit to identify before putting them in the ground? That might take awhile though.) |
Follow-Up Postings:
Probably original poster received an answer elsewhere... I wouldn't put ajuga near the hosta, but creeping jenny works okay & comes out easily. I tried corydalis lutea (yellow bloomer) because it was slug resistant, but it was a bit too vigorous crowding the hosta & swarming around the clumps. There are a few evergreens in zone 7 that I like: |
A lot would depend on which Hostas you're planning to put in. Something like undulata, or venusta, or Dewdrop would be polite and keep to the 3' width. A thug such as Aphrodite or Sum and Substance will be swamping the area in no time. Evergreen things: Epimedium, which can form a large clump yet is also slow to increase. There are small varieties. Definitely NOT solomon's seal. Rampant is the polite term - except for the very small one, and it's too easy to lose. |

by Teodros Kiros
Through a rare autobiographical act, Zara Yacob, who acquainted himself with the teachings of the Catholic Church introduced by Portuguese Jesuit missions in Sixteenth-century Ethiopia, becomes the first self-conscious founder of a philosophical tradition in Ethiopia. Indeed, it is a mild exaggeration to assert that it is Zara Yacob who gave the continent of Africa an original autobiography, something that was at that time confined to literate traditions outside of Africa. His treatise is a masterful example of self-presentation, clearly and powerfully expressed in a captivating literary style.
"By locating Zara Yacob somewhere between classical Ethiopian philosophy and Descartes, Teodros Kiros succeeds brilliantly in making very clear the originality and modernity of this seventeenth century Ethiopian philosopher. This is indeed a path-breaking achievement that shows us a different side of African philosophy, particularly its long and complex connections to the larger field of world philosophy. It is a must read!"---Paget Henry, Professor of Africana Studies, Brown University
"Challenging the conventions of "reason," "rationality," and our understanding of the poetics of what it means to feel from the life force of compassion, from the embodied site of joy and despair, Teodros Kiros offers us, in this poignant study, the thought of Zara Yacob, one of the greatest East African thinkers of the early modern era. The importance of this work for a more global understanding of "enlightenment" thought and the limits of where religious thought ends and philosophical thought begins cannot be overestimated. Whether layperson or professional scholar, this work is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of African philosophy and the growing scholarship on the complex relationship of notions of mind to those of body."--Lewis R. Gordon, author of Existential Africana: Understanding Africana Existential Thought and the Laura Carnell Professor of Philosophy at Temple University
"Teodros Kiros has written an eloquent book about the most important thinker of classical Ethiopian philosophy. This detailed exposition of the thought of Zara Yacob (1599-1692) is at once informative, interpretative and reflective. The work should contribute mightily to the reshaping of the image of African philosophy in our time."

Eva Voorhees
Eva Voorhees, born in Los Angeles, California, established a reputation in the late seventies and the eighties as one of the most captivating models of her time. With her soft, romantic face, deep green eyes and full lips, Eva's Pre-Raphaelite appearance was unique in the fashion industry.
Eva started modeling out of high school in her native California, signing with Nina Blanchard, the sister agency to New York's Ford Modeling Agency. At that time very few brunettes were successful models in Los Angeles. Soon, Eva met Eileen Ford, who was visiting California to meet Blanchard's newest models. During their meeting, Eileen Ford stated to Eva that if she ever hoped to succeed as a model she would need to get editorial work for her portfolio. "Clients need to see tear sheets in order to consider a girl; you'll need to move to New York."
A week later Eva was in New York and sent on a succession of go-sees to introduce herself to the fashion industries top photographers, advertisers and magazine editors. Shortly after her arrival she met Richard Avedon, and within weeks was booked for Vogue. Thus she appeared in the U.S. edition of Vogue only three months after she first arrived in New York. This American Vogue debut attracted the attention of photographer Eric Boman, who immediately booked her for many British Vogue shoots. Though her exotic look could have limited her to European bookings, Eva never had to struggle elsewhere to get established; she was an overnight success in New York.
Eva went on to do many covers for Vogue, Cosmopolitan, Harper's Bazaar, Fashions of The Times, Brides, Self, Linea, L'Official and was featured in numerous photography books. She also appeared in cosmetic advertisements for Avon, L'Oreal, Orlane, Revlon and Lancome. Other clients included; Dior, Valentino, DeBeers, Donna Karan, Perry Ellis, Calvin Klein, Genny, Oscar De La Renta, Ralph Lauren and upscale department stores such as Bloomingdale's, Saks Fifth Avenue, and Bergdorf Goodman. Avedon, Irving Penn, Albert Watson, Rico Puhlmann, Francesco Scavullo, Horst, Eric Boman, Gordon Munro and Chris Von Wangenheim are among the numerous photographers with whom she has worked.
Today, Eva is an archivist of the work of all the great models of the fashion industry; displaying her unparalleled collection of images here, her Supermodelicons website. With her substantial background in fashion, dedication for her work and deep sense of gratitude, it is no wonder Eva is recognized as the world's most prominent fashion preservationist. Eva's Supermodelicons is considered to be, "THE best source of information regarding the work of the women who made and make the world of fashion go round – then and now."

tagged with: "Phoebe Howard"
I had the pleasure of working with Phoebe Howard this past year on her book, Joy of Decorating: Southern Style with Mrs. Howard by Phoebe Howard (Stewart, Tabori & Chang, 2012). What I love most about Phoebe Howard (or Mrs. Howard as she prefers to be known) is not the way she does interior design, but the way she seized her dream of starting her own business after raising four children. Phoebe and her husband opened the first Mrs. Howard design store in Jacksonville, Florida and through clients at the store Phoebe quickly became one of the most sought after designers in the South. Her very first project was featured in a twelve-page spread in House Beautiful! So you can imagine I was so excited to edit this book and to work with someone whose work I had read so much about.

Sheep thief jailedFriday, December 19, 2008 Sheikh Krubally pleaded guilty to the charge of being in possession of a sheep carcass which he had obtained unlawfully.According to the facts, Sheikh Krubally, on December 2, 2008 at Serrekunda, was found in possession of a carcass suspected to be stolen or unlawfully obtained.

The Gay Nineties go all Choose Your Own Adventure in new music video
Who didn't love those Choose Your Own Adventure books when they were a kid? I had one that was set around the mountain gorillas of Uganda. In another one I read, you could die after just three or four pages.
The Gay Nineties, a Vancouver rock band that's made the Top 20 in the 2012 Peak Performance Project, has taken this concept and applied it to their new music video. "In and Out of Style" was filmed in an East Van warehouse.
Basically, you start out watching like any other music video. Then the video prompts you to choose between adding strings, horns, or backup singers. Click on your selection and the video soldiers on with extra musicians. A minute or so later, you get to add more instruments or a "wild card".
Brass Tacks Films produced the music video, and Watershed Productions engineered it. Now it's not quite as exciting as dodging poachers in the Virunga Mountains of East Africa, while reading under the bed covers, but it's an interesting experiment.

OMG - $40.00 for a folding cane ? Heck, I bought a folding cane at my drugstore for half that amount..and I bet mine weighs less, fits in my handbag and is less cumbersome that this cane. |
- Posted by ravencajun (My Page) on Mon, Jul 16, 12 at 14:55
I saw them on tv but never in person it does look interesting though, I know when I use my regular cane it is difficult to try to set it down or hang it on something, and the ones with the 4 prong bottom are cumbersome but this one looks smaller at the bottom and since it flexes really looks like it would work well. But I would want to try one in hand to make sure it would be steady enough. |
- Posted by ravencajun (My Page) on Mon, Jul 16, 12 at 15:14
I see it for $29.95 and shipping. But the reviews definitely are not great. However what you can do is go to walgreens they have these special tips you can put on any cane that makes it stand up and if it falls down you can step on the edge of the tip and make is pop back up. There are a few different ones and they are not nearly as large or cumbersom as a full 4 prong cane. These are examples. Hugo QuadPod Ultra Stable Cane Tip with Compact Quad Design Black JUVO Stand-Up Cane Tip 7/8 inch Grey AbleTripod Cane Tip Replacement 3/4" just check your cane size but most are the same size. I have a few canes, I do have a folding one but it has a solid wood curved Derby handle which will begin to hurt my hand after a while, my fave one is a light weight pink aluminum offset with a very cushioned hand grip, light weight and easy on the hand, and fully adjustable. |
I saw a cool cane today, Raven - someone had epoxied the cane into a small child's cowboy boot! I asked the lady about it and she said it makes the cane stand up by itself and she showed me - it was So CUTE! |
- Posted by ravencajun (My Page) on Mon, Jul 16, 12 at 18:16
oh my goodness what a cute idea or even a baby sneaker LOL I am going to get the hugo quadpod for mine I have other hugo products and they are all good quality. I found it on sale online for only $8.99 need to check their shipping cost it may be less to order it. |
Who would a thought it.Most of my friends here use a cane.I will go to walmart's or Targets and see if it's on the self with the other things"As Seen on TV.Thanks for the tip. |
- Posted by lindaohnowga (My Page) on Tue, Jul 17, 12 at 11:01
I use a quad cane (4 footed cane) and I decorate it for every holiday and season. Those of you who use canes should decorate yours. It makes using them so much more enjoyable and people enjoy seeing the various decorations. This can be done with walkers too. |

One car building tool kit fits all: Subaru are working on a global platform for all models built after 2016
Thrifty car makers are cleverly cost saving by producing just one or two platforms that can underpin their whole line-up of models. The Volkswagen Group do it with their MQB and MLB platforms while the Nissan-Renault Alliance has a new 'Common Module Family' which at least eleven of their models will be based around. Now Subaru is in on the act with a 'Global Platform' which will be used from Spring 2016 and will underpin everything from the Impreza Compact model to the Outback.
Subaru will also make the switch from indirect to direct injection engines in order to comply with new emission standards. In addition Subaru are also phasing in economical combustion cycles and cylinder deactivation by 2020. There is even talk of a collaboration with Toyota in order to offer a plug-in hybrid Subaru. The Legacy model is likely to be the first Subaru to get the 'green' treatment, apparently.

Monsoon moisture has lingered over the area since the weekend, and in association with a passing upper level trough some showers and a few thunderstorms were fired up around the Central Coast.
Most folks only saw trace amounts to a few hundredths of an inch, however at point point Monday afternoon a flash flood watch was issued for the Santa Barbara county mountains. The CHP reported rocks over the road on Highway 33 20 SE of Cuyama in Ventura county, but that level of intensity was isolated to generally the mountains.
More showers and a few thunderstorms are possible into early Tuesday as the trough moves through. While the notion of rain sounds good, the amounts are generally so minor they are not helpful and the convective nature actually introduces lightning threat which can spark fires. We'll watch the rest of this evening closely.
While local rain chances exit Tuesday there will still be some activity in the Sierra.
High pressure builds in for most of the balance of the week, warming up temps inland and bringing back the marine layer for mild conditions near the coast.

This article is from the WebMD Feature Archive
Hit a weight loss plateau? It's hard to fathom that for weeks your weight loss program was taking the pounds off. Then, suddenly, the scales won't budge another ounce.
Take heart. A weight loss plateau is normal. No matter how diligent you are in following your good health regimen, from time to time you'll fall off the wagon. The key to getting back on the program, experts say, is to acquire the skills and self-knowledge that will enable you to recover after a relapse.
We've pulled together the top 10 plateau-busting strategies for you to try right now.
Have a vision of success. According to Katherine Tallmadge, MA, RD, author of Diet Simple, the mind is a strong tool -- use it to achieve what you want.
"Visualize yourself dancing at an upcoming celebration in a fabulous black dress," Tallmadge tells WebMD, "and then apply that vision every day to stay motivated."
While you're imagining, remind yourself of reality: excess weight is unhealthy, as is yo-yo dieting. Make sure this is a lifetime commitment for optimal health instead of a temporary plan to drop 10 pounds before bathing suit season -- which you may regain again once you stop your program.
To stay compliant to your weight loss program, Tallmadge suggests keeping only healthy foods in the refrigerator, so you're less likely to stop and grab something greasy on the way home from work. "Even if your family isn't dieting, you can still keep tempting foods out of the kitchen

A second chance for Sevillian art
Seville's intricately baroque Hospital de la Caridad is a hospice with an adjoining chapel that displays art. (Krzysztof Dydynski/Getty)
Curiously under-represented in his native city, 17th-century Seville painter Diego Velázquez figuratively came home in July 2007 when a local cultural foundation, Focus-Abengoa, bought one of his early works, Santa Rufina for a record 12.4 million euros.
The painting, along with a handful of other important canvases by Seville artists, was promptly put on display in the freshly inaugurated Centro Velázquez, an art gallery encased in a former 17th-century hospice in the city's historic Santa Cruz district. Provoking an excited buzz on Seville's cultural scene, the acquisition helped to rekindle interest in a city that has long played second fiddle to Madrid and Barcelona in the artistic pecking order.
But it was not always so. For a brief but golden 50 years, starting in the 1620s, Seville's painters boldly defined world art. The so-called "Seville School" was spearheaded by a trio of baroque masters: the light, accessible Bartolomé Murillo, the dark, severe Francisco de Zurbarán, and the vividly realistic Velázquez. Between them, they shook up the art world in the 17th Century with their subtle use of colour and penchant for striking religious paintings. Velázquez is often called "the artist's artist" for the profound influence he had on other painters, including fellow Andalucían Pablo Picasso who, three centuries later, made 44 abstract attempts to reinterpret Velázquez's greatest work, Las Meninas
In 1660, Seville opened an art academy, the Academia de Bellas Artes, patronised by Murillo and fellow Seville native Juan de Valdés Leal and who served as its first two presidents. The Academy's goal was to instruct young students in the fine arts and foster a new generation of great painters; but, with Seville's influence under challenge from other regions, it struggled to make an impact and closed three decades later. A gradual shift in political power on the Iberian Peninsula between Andalucía and the rest of Spain, precipitated by Seville's loss of its trading monopoly with the American colonies, meant that the best art and artists migrated to Madrid. Spain's new capital, with its influential royal court, grew in cultural importance during the reign of Philip IV (1621-65), an avid art collector who appointed grand master Velázquez as his court painter in 1623 and began to amass a huge collection of important works. By the 1900s, the cream of Spanish art was in Madrid, London or New York, while shifting tastes led contemporary critics to deride Murillo for being vacuous and overly sentimental. Zurbarán, who was often unfavourably compared to Murillo during his lifetime, received less disparaging criticism after his death.
Reversing the tide, the Saint Rufina acquisition has offered plenty of opportunities to revisit and re-evaluate Seville´s art scene after centuries in the shadows. The Focus-Abengoa Foundation further enhanced its credentials in 2009 buying La Inmaculada, another work attributed to Velázquez, which is displayed with Santa Rufina in the Centro Velázquez alongside a permanent collection of 14 other important works by Seville artists, including Zurbarán and Murillo, whose reputation has been firmly re-established since the 1980s. The centre also hosts regular temporary exhibitions with works often loaned from Madrid's Prado Museum. The current show, an exposé of some of Murillo's later paintings (dating from between approximately 1662 and 1682), runs until January 2013.
Beyond the Centro Velázquez, Seville is home to plenty of Spanish Baroque and Renaissance classics. To see the city's biggest collection, head to the Museo de Bellas Artes, located since 1839 in the old La Merced convent in the central district. While light on the works of Velázquez, both Murillo and Zurbarán are well represented, as are other Golden Age artists such as de Valdés Leal, famous for his Las Tentaciones de San Jerónimo The highlight of the museum is Murillo's Inmaculada Concepción Grande. Exhibited in a converted chapel flooded with light, it is the first of approximately 20 renditions Murillo made of the Virgin Mary surrounded by angelic cherubs.

From "The Imagineering Field Guide to Disneyland":
"Even a classic can be enhanced, however. The runaway success of the 2003 film Pirates of the Caribbean: Curse ot the Black Pearl - inspired by the Disneyland original - created the likelihood that an entire generation of Park visitors would first learn of the world of these pirates through the film, not the attraction. These guests would be disappointed not to encounter Captain Barbossa or Captain Jack Sparrow. So in 2006, these characters from the films were interwoven into the existing story, all the while ensuring that the spirit of the show remained in tact."
I'm 47, and I can DEFINITELY be a bit of a GOM at times, but that is there take and they're stickin' to it, and I can somewhat understand. That being said, I rode both the Disneyland and WDW versions LONG before any "enhancements" PC or otherwise, and I of course, mostly, agree with you. But there is always that little part of me that knows Walt was all about change and plusing. Now if they would just make sure all of their changes were INDEED "pluses", all would be well in my "Disney world". :)

Geoff Greenwood, Communications Director 515-281-6699, email@example.com FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE, November 8, 2012
(DES MOINES, Iowa) A Cedar Rapids used car dealer has agreed to refund more than $30,000 to consumers and stop what Attorney General Tom Miller alleged were excessive late fees, loan disclosure violations, and illegal consumer loan contracts.
In an agreement with the Consumer Protection Division, called an Assurance of Discontinuance, Miller alleged that C.R. Cars violated the federal Truth in Lending Act in almost all of the documents that the Consumer Protection Division reviewed. The Truth in Lending Act requires that a lender conspicuously disclose certain pieces of information to a borrower before extending credit, including the annual percentage rate (APR), the term of the loan, and the total costs to the borrower.
The violations resulted in consumers paying larger finance charges than C.R. Cars disclosed in its agreements, and the dealership repeatedly exceeded legal finance charges.
In the agreement the Consumer Protection Division alleged that C.R. Cars:
Intentionally misrepresented the character, extent, or amount of the debt;
C.R. Cars agrees to correct the issues outlined in the agreement, resolve overcharges, and to provide fair treatment and settlements with affected customers. Under the agreement, C.R. Cars also agrees to:
Modify its vehicle purchase and financing contracts so that they conform with the Iowa Consumer Credit Code and no longer finance consumer motor vehicle purchases or engage in consumer credit transactions;
Miller also alleged that C.R. Cars failed to file a required consumer creditor notification with the state. The dealership has since filed that notification and paid all required fees, including late fees, and agrees to stay current during all remaining open consumer credit transactions.
Miller thanked the Iowa Department of Transportation's Office of Motor Vehicle Enforcement for its assistance in investigating the case.

Post those workouts here.
Keep that body Movin' and Groovin'.
Keep that Steam Roller Movin'
Beginning Week 10--Back and Chest, followed by Ab Ripper. (Followed by a big bowl of steel cut oats with hemp milk, choc chips, walnut butter and coconut. )
Have a great day, Sweat Sisters!
Got the OK from the doctor and back to my Pilates for MWF mornings and my Men's weight workout for the evenings....YAHOOOO!
This a.m. got my Mari Winsor's 20 minute Pilates workout done and it felt soooo gooood!
For my evening workout - Part 1 of my Men's Mag weight workout (calves, triceps, shoulders, back, tights, abs, forearms, chest)
Thanks for the start Bama, and I am so glad to be back movin' and groovin'.
Great workout Molasses.
Chris, hope you vacay is going great...miss ya!
Yup, I'll bet that felt great, Sue!
Plyo today for me. I almost bagged it because I woke up with a headache (change in barometric pressure, I think) and the triptan hadn't kicked in, but I started to feel somewhat better about halfway through. I was glad when it was done though--very hot and sticky today. Bring on the t-storms!
Morning sisters,
On tap for me this for my evening workout is (Men's Mag Abdominal weight workout....Pull Ins, obliques, stiff legged reaches, side bends, opposite extensions, power crunches, and straddle crunches)
My weight workout last night was marvelous too. Only did 2 sets and will build up to 3 then 4.
Great workout today Molasses.Sorry about the headache and hoping the thunder bumpers clear the air there and make it cooler and less humid.
We are headed to 105 today, and tomorrow 107. They had promised a cool down to the 90s but apparently that has gone away and now only down to the 102s and 3's but that ain't bad either if our humidity stays low which they said it would. This is summer in the Central Valley....deal with it people, I say LOL
You too have a great day.
Bama, hope you are getting some rest too.
Chris, I know you are enjoying that vacay....
Well off to calls, paperwork, checking my emails, etc etc....LOL
When will I ever learn to copy before I try and send my posts.
Lost it all so this will be a short recap
Mo sorry about your headache. I really do feel for you as my DD had them and has to take to bed and when I was younger so did all. Maybe I have finally grown out of them as I don't have them very often .
Sue so glad you are back to your workouts. I know it feels good to you.
Chris hope you are having a great vacation and have some pictures to share when you return.
I did do a cardio workout this morning with a little leg work also. Been working in my garage all day so my poor feet are killing me . May be to tired for one tomorrow . I have plans for August and can't wait for this month to end so I can get started.
See ya all tomorrow.
Good for you on the cardio workout Bama, along with the leg work. HUGS on the feet. Hope the garage work went well.
Yup, very very rarely will I type in the reply box and even then after I am done I do a Ctrl A and then C and put it in my Outlook program. Cause the several times I haven't I also haven't been lucky all the time and lost what I wrote. Bite my 3 times which it has and I done LOL
Well off to see if I can get some catch up done.
Have a good night. Shopping tomorrow, don't know yet if it will be Terri or the Handyride I set up....we shall see!
Good luck with your shopping, Sue. Thanks--the humidity is down a little bit today anyway, and it's not supposed to be quite as hot--bumping 90 but not going over. Gotta count even those small blessings!
Thanks, Bama--I know a lot of women lose their migraines after menopause, but mine have gotten more frequent. I did read something the other day that said they can be correlated with low thyroid, so maybe that has something to do with mine. I know my TSH has been rising a bit every year.
Arms and Shoulders followed by Ab Ripper for me this morning.
No morning workout as didn't sleep last night till 6 a.m. this morningfor about 1.5 hours, hoping for an evening workout - Men's Mag weightworkout (calves, triceps, shoulders, back, tights, abs, forearms, chest)
No shopping either as we cancelled ride late last night as we finally got our phone line back again (it was out of commission again till close to 10 p.m., when it finally came back). I called Terri and she can take us 9:30 a.m. Thursday for shopping.
Hope your weather stays less humid and good workout this a.m.
Bama, hope your day is going well.
Back later with more....
Hi ladies,
Had a great "me day" and a wonderful evening too....a yummy dinner of Stuffed Cheese Rigatoni (7 of them with sauce and topped with parmesan/romano cheese and some crushed red pepper) and a heel from the Italian bread (small one) along with finishing over weekend with some more Smallville and I had some yummy ice cream....for my 3 scoop Sunday, I had 2 scoops of Raspberry Delight (delicious and creamy raspberry flavored ice cream with swirls of chocolate raspberry flavored cookie fudge) with 1 scoop of Bear Claw....mmmmm good!
Slept pretty good Sunday night and I was able to get back to my workouts on Monday so did my a.m. workout which was Pilates with Mari. Then we made up our list for shopping too, so a much later start. Plus tried to call my one inhaler in to Exactus, using the auto lady but "technical difficulties" and she sent me to the regular pharmacy but I got tired of waiting. Monday's are never good days to call anywhere, so will try again tomorrow.
Got some more calls done, paperwork, mail, board catch up and then worked on the budget numbers for June and started my sheet for July and added the receipts we had for July. Hubby was busy with his Lipitor stuff so will get the other amounts and numbers from him Tuesday.
Had a good rest of the day for Monday and a wonderful evening of TV with the Buffster and Duncan McCloud of the clan McCloud...the Highlander, of course. Plus got a episode of Happy Days done too.
Got my evening weight workout in too, so I am a happy camper.
We watched Jeopardy and then went to bed. Slept alright.
Got my Tuesday dusting and vacuuming done and then off to a busy Tuesday....as I had emails to clear, food and workout stuff to post. Plus some emails to write and send and paperwork to do. Chuck was busy with the Lipitor stuff and had to call the place but got that done and that's all set up for him. He wrote out a sheet on the particulars and I called a left a message for Amy at his cardiologist's office. We still can't figure out why it's not showing up for him at CVS when it's covered, and he has only 2 weeks left now so we will pay and not deal with the baloney of the state. We expected to pay which was why I researched the pharmacy, I got it from Pfizer in their correspondence, so a very reputable one and very nicely priced. He will get the generic for Lipitor a 90 day supply for $25, so can't beat that.
As I said, I did call Amy and left a message, in fact, had to call back again and continue it to cover the 2 options she had and all the info, along with the apologizing that it be done ASAP because of the Obamacare thingy.
So after lunch we will do my numbers I need to add up and total our June budget stuff and see how we did for the month.
I also called in my Atrovent and then rearranged our medication box with my half of the meds LOL Yeah pretty sad when you have to use a good size box for bottle and a separate one for my inhalers and oxygen supplies LOL
Chuck also suggested calling to see if Terri is available for tomorrow as it's a short trip and it's going to be 107 tomorrow so to only have to be gone an hour and 15 or 20 minutes would be much better than Handyride's 3 hours....so wish us luck.
Well did hear back from Terri right when I started to take my Vitamin D before lunch and make a pit stop. So I ran in and answered and she said she'd have to call back later as she might need to work at church both days if they got the stuff in...and then she went on and on about it. I was hungry and wanted to go to lunch, so said "fine Terri, just call me this afternoon after you get an answer and I will talk to you then. Holy cow....if she repeated it one more time I was going to scream LOL
So I went and got started for lunch and then all of a sudden realized the back bathroom light was on and I never took my Vitamin D nor made my pit stop LOL Ain't old age grand LOL
So had lunch and then got my budget numbers done, totaled and hmmmm a high food bill and Terri bill but then we had an extra food trip with this month they way things fell and plus some stock up.
So hoping this month is better.
Didn't get to do any catch up done on my boards Tuesday, was hoping to do so after shopping. However, since we had a change in our shopping plans should be able to.
Well we got up from nap and our phone was out again with that same stupid buzzing like it was off the hook. It finally came back to normal after 10 p.m. so I called Terri and she said she'd been trying to call us. I told her what happened and she said she could take us Thursday morning at 9:30 a.m. So after we finished out TV shows I called and cancelled our Handyride (they now have an automated cancel feature), I did confirm it again on Thursday morning.
On tap for the CSBM network on Tuesday night was still being decided .....my man Hunter and them a couple of "other shows" I am still deciding on.....Starsky and Hutch, Miami Vice, Renegade....oh decisions, decisions LOL
Now aren't you just excited to know what I picked....LOL
Well I decided on Hunter, Starsky and Hutch and The A-Team however time wise had to skip A-Team and watch a half hour show...so opted for Three's Company.
As for sleep Tuesday night I didn't get to sleep till 6 a.m. this morning for about 1.5 hours, so one tired puppy. So now workout with Mari this a.m....GRRRR However, I did put my lack of sleep time to good use, read some of my new Fern Michaels book, Gotcha. Then tried to sleep again of course nice and quiet the whole time I was reading. Then I lay down and the snoring machine starts up. Even Buddy lifted his head. Plus I was itchy again. So changed to my T-shirt and took an allergy pill. Still nothing so I got up and grabbed my dust rags and went and dusted the office and then the living room and dining room.
So now it was 4!5 a.m. so I tried again and NOPE he starts up again, I lay there for a bit and was just getting more aggravated, so I went back outside and read some more. Started getting light outside at 5 a.m. and about 5:30 I got up and tried again just to lay there for a while and last I looked it was 6:15 a.m., and then he was waking me up at 7:30 a.m., I did lay there for a bit before I got up, opened the blinds and went to get washed. I had already taken my thyroid pill in the middle of the night.
Glad we didn't have to go out today as on the weather report Tuesday night our AQ for today is headed to 185....that's dangerous for healthy people.
After breakfast, since Chuck brought up the computers I did my mail and did my morning checks.
We both also came to the conclusion since I went to sleep every night I didn't work out that maybe I need to change my evening workouts to afternoon. We shall see.
I did take my shower this a.m. rather than later in the day as I was still itchy and didn't want to take another allergy pill as that would have knocked me out for sure.
I did also call and confirm this a.m. with Handyride that they got my message.
Didn't get much paperwork or other stuff done. Too tired and I need to concentrate for most of it.
Well we got Monster University in today and hoping we will enjoy it this evening, we loved the others. It's Chuck's night so we will watch the movie and since it's not that long he will pick out a show too.
Easy dinner tonight as we are having the other 2 slices of pizza and it's 2 scoop Wednesday, which for me means 2 scoops of Raspberry Delight LOL
Hope you are having a good day and same for this evening. Wish us luck tomorrow with Terri and at Winco.
Wow this is a first, I am the first to post. Bama, you must be busy in the garage.
Walking today with shopping and Evening workout is (Men's Mag Abdominal weight workout....Pull Ins, obliques, stiff legged reaches, side bends, opposite extensions, power crunches, and straddle crunches)
Have a great day,
Good morning, Sweat Sisters,
Yoga for me today.
Enjoy your workout tonight and your shopping trip today, Sue.
I know Chris is enjoying her family time!
Bama, you probably aren't having what you'd call fun, but I hope your sale goes well.
Great workout Molasses. Thanks on the shopping...it went very well. And I am looking forward to my workout tonight.
Afternoon ladies,
The Monster University movie was great, we loved it and also managed to get in an episode of Leave It To Beaver before it was bed time. I slept the sleep of the dead last night and only one pit stop during the night. So feeling much better today. Got a lot of walking in shopping and am hoping my energy levels don't go down since we did have to get up earlier today, so I can workout tonight.
I had Buddy go into his house with his "new mat" earlier this week and last too and again today before I put water, etc in there for him and he laid right down. So in it stayed and boy he bounced right up when we got home today so we are happy campers. In addition a lot easier to clean up his house too! However a short trip today so we shall see.
As for the ride and Grocery trip.....both were FANTASTIC! We set the time with Terri for 9:30 a.m. and Chuck looked for her before he made his last pit stop and she wasn't there yet. So Buddy and I were doing our 'Huggy/Kissy' face thing and all of a sudden he starting barking and looking at the door. So I said is Auntie Terri there and he woofed so I went outside and looked and I could hear her voice as she was on her phone and then looked across the parking lot and there she was 'waving and talking (and loud too as I could hear what she was saying LOL). So I waved back and gave her the 'just a minute sign' and went back inside. Came off house air and went to my tank. We put Buddy in his house and said our good byes and off we went.
Terri had gone to Dinuba (farming community)yesterday with the kids so they could see the whole process and the various ones for the peaches. So her car (that was washed over the weekend) was very dusty. But she gave Chuck and I a very good education on the process. In fact one of the guys visiting was from India and he said they get the dried peaches there and on the box it's says the name of the farm and Dinuba, Ca.
We got to Winco and the parking lot was pretty crowded. We took off and got all the stuff on our list, but some stuff we added (about $15 dollar's worth) but weren't that much over our total as lots on sale again. So only about $6 over what our total was.
The French bread was on sale for 88 cents, so we got 2 loaves instead of the 1 we were going to get as the 2 loaves only cost about 10 cents more than what 1 loaf is normally. Works for us...
Plus now have the fixings' for some yummy macaroni salad since we got our sour cream and macaroni noodles and shell noodles too since the Barilla was on sale for 98 cents. In fact the gal at Winco was putting new tags on them while we were there. So we got to chit chat and of course, Chuck was teasing her about raising the price (that did happen to us once at a store, they were changing the prices "up")
She told us they were opening another Winco in Sacto where the old Gottschalk's used to be and we know that area well or did when we lived there. Nice to know. As while we want to stay here if the AQ keeps getting worse for health reasons we might have to relocate. We shall see.
They had our big Sunburst 1.46 gallon of detergent on sale for $4.98 and it was on the list so we were happy campers. A much better buy than the smaller ones.
Got some lobster for lunch either next week or the week after, we shall see. As I will still have another meal of the crab legs I had this week for lunch, will get Monday's lunch too.
We did buy another package of the Sargento Off The Block 4 Cheese Mexican and I will use it to make up frittata's for both of us on Saturday and it was still only $1.98 too. Already have the diced potatoes to put in it and we got our package of 18 eggs in today plus I still have 5 or 6 left in the other pack of eggs. So will be 4 meals a piece for the both of us.
I did get a package of raisin bread for breakfast, the Cascade Pride that Winco carries and since I love all their other stuff, hoping this is the case for the raisin bread.
In any case Winco did good by us again this trip. Love that store LOL
We got home paid Terri and went inside to a wonderful welcome from our Buddy Max and popping up much better from his house he loves so much with his new mat there. Plus much easier for Chuck to clean up too. I did wipe his mat off (he had some spots on it) and it looks good.
We went on line and did our mail and other checks and then had lunch....was too early to go when we got home even with the put away stuff, clean up, getting changed and washed up. Took our lunch stuff out that needed to warm up and we went to lunch about an hour later.
Chuck was mad at me as during lunch I was telling him my Gorton's salmon there was $4.09 and he said why didn't you pick it up and I said we already had added stuff. He said it's $3 or more at SaveMart, you should have gotten it. So I said let's hope it's the same when we go next time. So now I am mad at myself too LOL
I did get a small gentle cycle wash done too. Will fill up my detergent bottle tomorrow.
Got some stuff I needed to take care of after lunch and a phone call.
Off to do some catch up and answer emails and then comics, crackers, and off to nap time. Want to get an early start. My night on the CSBM network and I have a bunch of shows to decide between, A-Team, The Dukes of Hazzard, Knight Rider plus Miami Vice, Lois & Clark, Scarecrow & Mrs. King....decisions.....decisions. LOL
Hope you had a good Thursday and same for this evening,
Legs and Back, followed by Ab Ripper.
Happy Friday, Sweat Sisters!
Hi sisters,
Molasses, great workout.
Bama, hope the garage sale is moving right along. Sending lots of HUGS your way as you sound very down and depressed to me...so HUGS and know that it will all work out in the end. You ARE WOMEN AND YOU ARE STRONG!
As for me today.....Mari Winsor's 20 minute Pilates workout and evening workout - Men's Mag weight workout (calves, triceps, shoulders, back, tights, abs, forearms, chest)
Chris, thinking of you and wishing I was there on vacay too!
Kenpo today to end Week 10 of P90X--only 2 weeks to go!
Happy Saturday, Sweat Sisters!
Great workout today Molasses. I did the RLW's like dusting, cleaning the bathrooms, and making up frittata's LOL
Bama, hoping the garage sale goes well.
Chris, wish I was there with you.
This is what Chuck does when I don't get up quick enough or fall back asleep!
We couldn't believe it when we got up from nap Thursday the stupid phone was out again. GRRR a call to AT&T will be made on Saturday. Well we didn't get started as early as we thought Thursday night so we watched....A-Team, Knight Rider and then an episode of Bewitched. A great night of TV. Did get my evening workout in, so I was a happy camper plus we watched our Jeopardy we taped and then hit the sack. Right before bed though, as I flushed the stupid toilet started up again....between ATT and our toilet it's no wonder we get agida LOL So called the office this a.m., and spoke to Maria and told her and did tease her about the apartment number, she laughed and I said it's that darn "dimmer switch" again LOL I did tell her just have Martine come day with the plunger and I will call next week for the toilet removal. Since Martine said the next time it happens he will pull the toilet and check. I said to her, I am sure he is busy on a Friday plus we have things to do and again I would call next week as we would be home all week and the week after. We had breakfast, I did my vacuuming and we are getting ready to sit down to OJ and there a knock on the door, I go and open it and there Bravo with a lot of equipment and he says, 'we are here to move the toilet" and I said NO! Not today. I told Maria just to have him use the plunger thing and I would call next week for the toilet to come out. So Martine did come and plunge it and it's working alright. We had our OJ and then I did my workout with Mari, boy was I stiff when I woke up today so was a good workout to since out these old bones LOL Then I started my oven to heating up to cook my fish for tonight. Got on line and read some stories and cleared out junk mail. Then I made my call to Chuck's cardiologist's office to make sure Amy was actually there this week and left a message. Still haven't heard anything from her. Plus put stuff on my "to do calendar" for this month and the coming months. I then set up my account with the University Medical Center I got when I went to see my doctor. Wow really cool and lots of stuff entered and I did make a list of some of the changes that need to be made and to tell them where they can get the info from (mostly the hospital records info from 2000 and then my breast surgery for 2004. Took care of the rest of my mail after that since it was almost time for lunch. Well as if we didn't have aggravation with the toilet, ATT and then poor Chuck finally gets through to a representative from the Obamacare thing he did and they tell him his benefits have been cancelled. Of course she doesn't know Jack Poop so then he sits on hold waiting for a state worker to answer. Which means us having to pay for both meds he has to get from CVS instead of just one. In addition to his cholesterol medication too this coming month. Sometimes I just want to just pull my hair out as Chuck and I both said "we are so bloody tired of dealing with these morons". The left hand doesn't know what the right hand is doing. He will be so glad when he gets Medicare next year PTL Of course sat on hold and got tired of it and wanting to take off earlier. Didn't end up doing so and never got anyone to answer. Did have a nice relaxing night to go with our dinner and of course, for me anyway 1 scoop Friday and had some PB ice cream. Since we hadn't seen Jessica and Thomas for a while they were on Chuck's night for the CSBM network...did have enough time for a Laverne & Shirley too. Slept well but woke up a bit tired this a.m. However, had a lot on the agenda so shook the cobwebs out. Got my dusting done, the towels in Lucy and then did the bathrooms after breakfast. Took off to get the bathrooms cleaned next and put out the clean towels for the week. Switched the towels to Lucy and got Buddy's stuff ready for his bath, however we didn't get to it today since we were a bit later than we thought plus I still had the frittatas to make up and Chuck had some things he wanted to do. So will do his bath during the week. One of the things we had to do was clip his toenails, like our Cassidy, his grow like weeds. He's so cute though, he sees the clippers and his tail starts wagging and he lays right still wagging his tail. Kind of hard to clip the back end, so I tell him OK and hold his tail down. Did have a small bleeder today and we had our stuff ready, but then he started wagging and it was puffing on the floor. So had to get a wet rag to wipe the area up. I then started the prep for the frittata's....Chuck just wanted a plain Mexican cheese one. We love this Sargento Off The Block 4 Cheese Mexican (shredded Natural Monterey Jack, Cheddar, Queso Quesadilla & Asadero cheese fine cut). It's 2 cups of cheese in the bag so Chuck got over a cup and mine was a little less as I gave Buddy some...when I cook he always has to have some. In addition to the cheese, mine, of course had some red, green, orange and yellow pepper strips, chopped scallions, Hot Italian sausage to go with the cheese. I used 5 eggs in mine and 6 for Chuck. Was doing the clean up when Ethel buzzed so folded up the towels and put the rags in to wash. All done and we now have 4 dinners to have a piece. One slice, of which, we will be having tonight. Hoping to get some catch up done after lunch. Still trying to decide on what will be on the CSBM network for tonight, will we check a VHS movie, watch another of the Annette and Frankie Beach movies, or some of our shows....decisions.....decisions. Looking forward to my "me day" tomorrow and hoping I can talk Chuck into cutting my hair, we shall see LOL Hope you are having a nice Saturday and the same for tonight and Sunday.
Yup Stanley I agree!
I am with you Stanley, if he wanted something different he should have been more specific LOL
Right on the money, Ruthie!
Grandma's are just awesome...they got the smarts LOL

are they still going to do the ice cream social thing?
Has anyone ate at Garden Grill since they reopened it? I am so bummed that they have changed the menu as well as the family style serving! I've seen the new menu and I cannot understand why they have ventured so far away from the way it used to be. It was always busy whenever we went and anyone I have ever spoken to seemed to like the food. I was hoping that it was going to reopen before our June trip so I left a day open for reservations...but now that they are open, I am not so sure I am interested because of the changes. Looking for some input on the "new" Garden Grill.
are they still going to do the ice cream social thing?
I've heard the Ice Cream Social is discontinued.
There are also reports that because of the new style of service, they can take many fewer people per night, so getting a reservation is a must.
The new menu is disappointing - Epcot has enough "fine dining" and not enough sit-down restaurants you feel really comfortable bringing the kids. My family used to love the Garden Grill - it's the only place we've ever eaten catfish and liked it, and we have great photos of my DD with Farmer Mickey & Minnie.

I have a young fig in gritty mix and I've been using Foliage Pro -- 12 drops in 1 gallon of water -- when I water about every 3-4 days. I've also been using 4 teaspoon of white vinegar per gallon because the water is so hard here. Suddenly I'm seeing tips on some of the leaves that are black, as if burned. I will try to post the pictures I have, a close-up where you can see on the tips and also one of the whole plant so you can get an idea of its general well-being. When I read about discolored leaves the advice is always about watering too much or too little. Does this apply to black tips?
Hm. Can anyone tell direct me to the info on how to post pictures? Thanks, Claire |

My brother-in-law was over this evening and he was talking about some melons his dad used to grow. He called them Turkish Melons. I'm assuming they are a variety of canteloupe?. He says they grow in an oblong shape and they are sweeter than canteloupes. Has anyone ever heard of these, and if so, where can I get some seeds? I'd like to surprise him with my search.
Thank you, Vickie |
Follow-Up Postings:
Vickie, First, the brief melon history lesson: Melons originated in Africa and then came to the rest of the world via trade routes, appearing in Egypt 4,000 year ago and in many other parts of the world 3000 years ago. The part of Asia that includes Iran, Afghanistan, China, Southern Russia, India, Turkey and Japan is an area of great melon diversity. Many melons brought from there to here decades ago are commonly referred to as a Turkish melon or Afghan melon whatever, although I am sure these melons have varietal names. Secondly, a look at the melon family tree: The melon (Cucurmis melo) family is huge with many sub-categories. These sub-categorities are not true botanical subclassifications, but rather just the arbitrary grouping of melons together in sub-categories because they more or less resemble each other. The sub-categories are: Turkish melons? Many of the inodorus (winter melon) group come from the part of the world around Spain, Turkey, Turkmenistan, etc. It is likely the melons you brother was described are in this group. Inodorus includes Casaba, Honeydew, Crenshaw and Canary melons. All these winter melons grow in a shape that is more oblong than round. They take forever to grow, which is one reason they are known as winter melons--because they are harvested late enough in the growing season that some can be stored and carried over into winter to a certain extent. They are very sweet, very flavorful and have a delicious aroma. (The aroma is not as pronounced in grocery store melons of this type, but is amazing in home-grown ones.) One of my favorites is from Russia (specifically the Ukraine) and is known as Collective Farm Woman. It is slightly more round than oblong and starts out a very dark green and matures to a gorgeous golden color rind with green flesh. Amazing flavor. Bidwell Casaba is very oval in shape and is from California's Chico Valley area. This melon is a tawny golden color and sort of football shaped with pale orange flesh that is very sweet and tasty. Crane is oval and somewhat resembles the netted muskmelons called cantaloupes here in the U.S. It has been grown in the U.S. for almost 100 years and is probably a cross of a persian melon and a crenshaw melon. Its skin has the faint green splotches when ripe commonly seen on some Japanese melons. Orange-fleshed honeydew has orange flesh and a pale yellowish rind and likely resulted from a cross between the melon Tip Top and the green-fleshed honeydew known as White Antibes Winter. It is more oblong that round, but only a little. Santa Claus melon is a casaba, and has rough skin and green flesh. All casabas are native to Turkey. Most casabas are oval though a few have more of a pear shape. It holds its flavor a long time in storage. Santa Claus ia a bi-colored Casaba with bright yellow skin splotched with dark green blotches Piel de Sapo (Frogskin melon) is similar in shape and size but its green is almost completely a medium-dark green. It has green flesh, is oval and grows well for me. And, yes, the skin on a mature one does bear a certain resemblance to a frog's skin. Amarillo de Oro is a Spanish melon that has great flavor and a very unusual coloration. When you cut into it, the flesh closer to the rind is green and then it gradually changes to pale salmon sometimes with a touch of white. The skin is a medium gold. The favor is superb. There are a lot of other winter melons that might be the Turkish melon your brother mentioned, but I can't give very good descriptions of the because I haven't grown them all. Seed of many of them are available through places like Seed Savers Exchange and Baker Creek Heirloom Seed as well as at many other seed companies. These include Sweet Freckles (a Crenshaw type), Cavaillon Espagnol (looks a lot like a muskmelon with the netted skin ad orange flesh, but very oval in shape), Kazakh (similar to Collective Farm Woman, but from Kazakhstan), Olivin (a Polish honeydew) Ashkabad (from Turkmenistan, so this one has a true connection to Turkey and it is VERY sweet with green flesh but it is more round than oval), and De Almeria (a white Tendral-type from Spain). I'd go to the Baker Creek website linked below and read their melon descriptions. Be sure to look at all the categories because many of the so-called "American" melons are from the inordorus group but are grouped as 'American' because they've been grown here for a long time no matter their origin. The melon your brother described as Turkish probably resembles one of the melons I described above OR one or more of the melons at Baker Creek (or at Seed Savers Exchange), but you won't necessarily see the word Turkey or Turkish in its name since the entire melon family tree is a massive tree with many branches and growers/retailers often call a melon by something other than its true name. Good luck finding your brother's Turkish melon. Dawn |

Thank you very much, Dawn. From reading your descriptions, I think I have it narrowed down between Bidwell Casaba and the Amarillo de Oro. I will begin my search. |
