This is Maine at its most alluring: a rich landscape where sunrise on a sandy beach can be followed by a hike through a mist-shrouded wildlife preserve, where a lobster-roll lunch can precede an afternoon of blueberry picking, where Skee-Ball by the boardwalk can segue into a candelit dinner at a country inn. Our list of favorites for a weekend away is as much about the land as the sea—pine forests and Colonial-era villages meet lighthouses, harbors, and the spray of the surf.

I did not know that.
Good cool secret!!!!!!!!!!!!Amazing:faint::faint::faint::fai nt:
sorry, but I knew that
is there a section for lame poll?
Good secrets - for both the stones and the blinking lights!
knew it but thank you for others who do not:mickeykid:mickeykid:mickeykid
Knew that one from the old lawsuit story.
Definitely already knew about this, but I have always thought that it would have been cool if the Imagineers had hidden at least one REAL stone in it somewhere just for kicks and giggles. After all, thats what they do best! I think they missed the boat on this one. But hey, that dosen't mean they can't go back and 'fix' it...! :grin: :D
OOOooooo...! Since I am now a Castmember for The Mouse, I think that is now his intellectual property...
Intellectual being used VERY loosely here in my case...!!! :grin: :D
OK. Maybe a few real stones actually, 'hidden' in some choice places. And maybe one in the Castle breezeway that Guests could rub for good luck?!?! Silly maybe, but sounds like a bit more Disney fun to me...! :D
I've known this secret since J.D. Roth told me on an episode of Disney Inside Out back in the day! It's fairly well-known to us WDW-oholics, but it's a fun little trivia question to use on newbies.
Disney, the land of smoke and mirrors, would not incur the cost of building a castle out of stone. :D
not even one stone is worth the cost of installing it...

Review: 'The Awakening' Scares Up Ghosts, Plot Holes and a Lovely Lead Performance
Movie Reviews By Rob Hunter on August 17, 2012 | Comments (1)It's 1921, and Florence Cathcart (Rebecca Hall) is doing brisk business as an author and professional ghost chaser. She never actually catches any spirits though because her specialty is in disproving their existence. Using a combination of common sense, high (and low) tech gadgetry and deductive reasoning she debunks charlatans and identifies the true causes behind supposed hauntings. Post-WWI England is a country still reeling from the loss of over a million lives. The war and the cruelty of influenza have left behind millions more mourning their loved ones and ripe for exploitation at the hands of so-called mediums and psychics. Cathcart relishes the moment when she reveals them as liars and thieves even if some of the customers prefer the fakery as a form of comfort. But each unveiling of the truth also comes with a tinge of sadness for her. She doesn't believe in the afterlife, but that doesn't mean that some small part of her doesn't wish it existed. When Robert Mallory (Dominic West) appears, wanting her help investigating recent ghostly sightings at a boys boarding school in the countryside, her instinct is to say no, but she eventually accepts the opportunity to expose yet another fraud. Her expectations of man-made shenanigans are quickly met. And then the real ghosts arrive.
'The Awakening' Trailer: Rebecca Hall Doesn't Believe in Ghosts, But She Does Believe in Sexy Dominic West
Movie News By Kate Erbland on June 29, 2012 | Comments (1)You'd think that ghost-disproving would be a far easier career than, oh, ghost-hunting, but you'd be wrong on that account. At least that's what The Awakening looks to teach us. Set in the early twentieth century, the film sees Rebecca Hall as a career debunker – author of the book "Seeing Through Ghosts," Hall's Florence Cathcart has dedicated her life and work to sticking pins into all sorts of supernatural claims. Think you've got a ghost running around your chateau? Call up Florence. Need a seance on the quick? Florence. So it's only natural that teacher Robert Malloy (Dominic West) calls for Florence's services when the all-boys school he teaches at appears to be host to the ghost of a dead student. Will Florence put the kibosh on a hoax? Will she find something beyond comprehension? Will she get it on with Malloy? Will it all play out under a grimy, creepy gray cast? I'll leave those answers to you with the film's latest trailer:
This Week In DVD: Not Even a Safe House Could Save John Carter Now
Features By Rob Hunter on June 5, 2012 | Be the First To CommentWelcome back to This Week In DVD! Has anyone seen our brother column, This Week In Blu-ray? I'm worried it may have been abducted and diddled against its will… As always, if you see something you like, click on the image to buy it. Curb Your Enthusiasm: The Complete Eighth Season Larry David's divorce from Cheryl is finalized, and he finds himself heading for New York City after a characteristically disastrous social interaction. Typical Larry. Some viewers are unable to find the humor in David's character and shenanigans and instead see nothing but frustration… and that's an understandable reaction. He speaks his mind at all times, and while I don't always agree with him I do find his complete lack of social skills refreshing and often hilarious. Plus, Michael J Fox and those damn girl scouts had it coming anyway.
TIFF Announces Addition of More Galas, Special Presentations and a Closing Night Film
Film Festivals By Kate Erbland on August 16, 2011 | Be the First To CommentWith the Toronto International Film Festival mere weeks away, cinephiles everywhere are prepping to ship off to America's hat for ten days of films and fun, all fueled by bagged milk and and trademark Canadian politeness. TIFF has already established itself as North America's premiere film festival (duking it out with Sundance for top billing), but this year, the festival's programmers have truly outdone themselves when it comes to putting together a drool-worthy schedule. This year's TIFF has already announced the bulk of their lineup, including The Ides of March and Moneyball and their documentary and genre picks, but they now round out their programming with some final and spectacular picks.
The B-Roll: Sharlto Copley Just Wanted Spock Ears

At first sight, the focus would seem to be on the creation of a roadster with a muscular appearance, openly displayed technology and powerful flat twin engine for pure emotion and maximum motorcycling fun. But behind all this is in fact a completely new custom concept.
The bike's low weight, the powerful and high-torque flat twin engine and high-quality chassis technology give it a high level of sporty riding dynamics, while the lowered chassis and the relaxed yet active seating position with the broad handlebars are more of a loan from cruisers and naked bikes.
The concept is such that, for the first time, the customer can be involved in the design of the BMW Lo Rider to an extent which goes beyond what has previously been possible to date. Numerous options including different exhaust systems, seats, headlamp units and paint finish variations allow for a level of customization which is far greater than the familiar individualization by means of special equipment features and accessories. This means that the entire character of the vehicle can be adapted to the customer's individual taste: the customer can take full pleasure in assembling a machine just as he wants it – from a cool cruiser to an aggressive muscle bike.
An overview of the conceptual highlights.
• Combines current technology with modern and classic stylistic elements.
• Design elements can be individually combined by the customer.
• Raised or lowered exhaust system, as preferred.
• Seat for one or two as preferred, or aluminium perch seat.
• Headlamp unit in classic shape or in street fighter style, as preferred.
• Fuel tank with or without aluminium trim, as preferred.
• Four paint finishes for the fuel tank.
• Three paint finishes for the engine casing.
• Front and rear wheel wings finished either in black or chrome, as preferred.

News From BMW Motorsport :
Friday, 12 December 2008
The final day of the three-day Pirelli test provided Team BMW Motorrad Motorsport with both challenges and improvements, but in the end, the team left Kyalami in a positive frame of mind and ready to make further progress at the next outing. Troy and Ruben continued to try as many different ideas as possible and give valuable feedback to the team instead of chasing any lap times. Troy was happy that his fastest lap, on race rubber, was not far off the pace and a sign that there is still more to come.
Italian Michel Fabrizio (Ducati) posted the fastest lap of the test, with a time of 1:39.714. Second quickest was American Ben Spies (Yamaha), with Noriyuki Haga (Ducati) third.
I am reasonably happy with what we managed over these three days and Ruben and I have certainly given the team lots of info for them to work with. There was no point chasing lap times because we wanted to try different things and see what effect they had on the bike. It was so much hotter today than the past two days and it really wasn't worth going out in the middle of the day. I think we made the right decision because hardly anybody went out either. It did cool off later in the afternoon and it would've been good to have gone a bit faster, but my bike had a bit of a problem and I wasn't able to do it. I had a small crash today, when I lost the front end going into Wesbank, but wasn't hurt at all.
All in all, I am realistic about what we did here these three days and we ended up more or less as I expected, though possibly a bit better. The important thing is that we improved steadily throughout the three days and now we've got lots to work with for the next test.
Of course, I would've liked to have gone faster at the end, but that wasn't the reason we came here. We came here to try and understand the bike and get it to do what we wanted it to do. Troy and I have different riding styles and he has a lot of experience with four-cylinders, so I always knew he would be faster than me here. But the important thing is that we have both given the team good feedback and now they will go away and work on what we have said. I am happy with our progress and happy that I finished without any crashes and now can enjoy Christmas fit and healthy and ready for next year.
Rainer Baeumel (Project Leader)
Yesterday we did go sideways a bit, but still managed to get a lot of useful information at the same time. Although our lap times weren't so good, I felt that this test was very positive and it makes me optimistic about our next test. We are a new team and I am happy because everybody worked really well together and are very motivated about this challenge. It will be good for all of us to have a bit of rest now and then come back ready to continue the good progress at the next test.
Final best lap times
1. Fabrizio (Ita-Ducati) 1'39"714;
2. Spies (Usa-Yamaha) 1'39"978;
3. Haga (Jpn-Ducati) 1'39"984;
4. Rea (GB-Honda) 1'40"035;
5. Checa (Spa-Honda) 1'40"170;
6. Neukirchner (Ger-Suzuki) 1'40"394;
7. Kagayama (Jpn-Suzuki) 1'40"675;
8. Biaggi (Ita-Aprilia) 1'40"768;
9. Nakano (Jpn-Aprilia) 1'40"968;
10. Kiyonari (Jpn-Honda) 1'41"067;
11. Troy Corser (Aus-BMW Motorrad Motorsport) 1'41"102;
12. Sykes (GB-Yamaha) 1'41"562;
13. Ruben Xaus (Spa-BMW Motorrrad Motorsport) 1'41"996.
supermodel meets superbike
December 22, 2008
BMW just sent these great pix of the obviously near-production S1000RR. We can't wait to get one in the showroom this Spring/Summer, hopefully. In the meantime here's the PR copy FYI.
You wouldn't believe the extraordinary lengths that BMW Motorrad would go to in order to bring you these stunning images of the new S 1000 RR superbike, but we hope you'll agree that the results are well worth the effort.
With a brief to combine the outstanding high-tech design of the S 1000 RR carbon race bike with a cool looking fashion style, BMW Motorrad commissioned top photographer Markus Hofmann to capture the action. Markus specialises in Stills, People and Events but he knew he was facing a real challenge with this outdoor shoot on one of the coldest days of the year. The motorcycle arrived in Munich in the early hours of December 10th and was taken to a small airfield at Oberschleißheim, where the team was waiting. With bad weather conditions forecast and only a few hours of decent light available at this time of the year, Markus knew that every second would count.
"The new BMW S 1000 RR race bike is an outstanding looking motorcycle in terms of its design and styling, so I was knew it would be an extraordinary motorcycle to photograph," said Markus. "Because we wanted to have a helicopter in the shot, it was necessary to discuss all the safety instructions with the pilot and make sure that the shots that we wanted were actually achievable. One of our assistants was responsible for communication with the helicopter pilot, which was done by means of hand signals in order to ensure that he could manoeuvre the helicopter into the right position and move around if necessary.
"The other assistant was in charge of handling the lighting system and protecting it the from the strong rush of wind created by the helicopter's rotors. There was also a stylist on hand, who would be refreshing or changing the look and make-up of Ann Kathrin Ruhl, our model for the day. The coldness, of course, made things difficult for everyone, and the 'wind-chill factor' was intensified by the helicopter blades, which affected Ann Kathrin more than anyone else, but she was very professional, having modelled many times in 'extreme' situations. With such a great team around me, I was able to focus completely on the photography and only needed to give short instructions from time to time, which made the job go smoothly. I think the results are very effective."
Bettina Bruaröy Maurer, the stylist for the day, was delighted with the results of the photoshoot: "My passion for this work is to create moods where the viewer feels drawn into and captivated by the picture. This idea I had in this instance was to mix a style of feminine fashion and the typical motorbike outfit. I wanted the model to look like a strong independent 'Bond' girl who perfectly matches the BMW style and charisma, and I wanted the pictures to surprise and to create harmony – this job was perfect in achieving these objectives!"
Without a doubt, the coldest person on the day was model Ann Kathrin Ruhl from the Java Model Management agency. Without the benefit of windproof, waterproof and thermal clothing, she still managed to look great, despite being chilled to the bone in one of the less glamorous locations she has been photographed in. "It was freezing cold out there and the noise from the chopper was absolutely ear-piercing," said Ann Kathrin. "Compared to some of the jobs I have done, it certainly wasn't the easiest conditions to shoot in, but at least I had a great team who kept me smiling so this made the job more enjoyable than it could have been otherwise."
Once the shoot was over, a shortlist of pictures was then selected back in the warmth of the studio, before being handed over to Arno Schaller, a graphic designer with more than a decade worth of experience with digital picture publishing and retouching for a variety of photographers, agencies and magazine editors. His work focuses on high-end creative compositions, and includes look and style development in beauty and fashion industries for clients such as Cosmopolitan and Getty Images.
As you can see from the 'finished' images, the picture below portrays the new BMW S 1000 RR as an extremely desirable, exciting, yet almost unobtainable piece of exotica, much like the supermodel sitting astride her. Her look says 'strong fashion for a powerful woman' and the helicopter in the background gives the scene an action/adventure look, but it's definitely the BMW superbike that shines through as the real object of desire.

San Jose BMW TRACKMASTER™
Adjustable Torque Arm
We're delighted to offer our new TRACKMASTER Adjustable Torque Arm for ParaLever Twins. The TRACKMASTER is one of the key components that made our HP2 the winner in AFM Open Twins this year. Our BMW simply outhandled the Ducatis. Key to our advantage was the ease with which the TRACKMASTER allows ride-height adjustments and chassis balance fine tuning. Our techs could set the bike perfectly and quickly for each track and surface condition.
CNC machined from light and super-strong 6061 aluminum alloy, the TRACKMASTER incorporates a stout locking adjuster which allows variations in ride height and swingarm angle, with consequent revisions to rake & trail on the front end. You can quicken or slow the steering, adjust for squat and dive, and variations in tire diameter. On the race track, getting this all right can shave seconds off a lap.
On the street, well it just looks really cool and tech, even if you leave it set to the standard geometry. You also have the option of switching from a street to a track set-up as you wish, quickly and easily.
We've just received our first shipment from our fabricator, and the TRACKMASTER is in stock for immediate shipping. Order yours now - before we have to order more.
Call or Email for specific applications.
Available for most late-model, Hex-Head Twins

Seated Liberty Dimes were made from 1837 to 1891. Christian Gobrecht designed this handsome dime which saw several design modifications during its run.
Seated Liberty Dimes were struck in Philadelphia, Carson City, New Orleans, and San Francisco.
No Drapery, Large Stars. A dazzling Gem with a razor sharp strike and beautiful golden-brown and light blue toning. An outstanding representative of this short-lived 'No Drapery' type!
Full detail with nice brilliant surfaces and a good 'look'. Very popular as the first New Orleans mint dime and a a 'No Stars' type.
A beautiful Gem example of this popular and scarce 'No Drapery' type. The strike is amazingly sharp and intense luster pours thru lovely golden-tan toning. Very nice!
A nice early New Orleans Seated Dime with strong definition and untoned surfaces.
CAC. An attractive problem-free example of this better date.
Arrows. A superb gem with blast white luster, a great strike and pristine mark-free surfaces. Even the lofty grade of MS-66 may be too stingy for this amazing coin!
Arrows. Well struck and lustrous with rich russet-gold toning.
Arrows. A nice blast white Gem with a sharp strike and excellent eye appeal. The short-lived 'Arrows' type is tough to find in Gem!
A beautiful near-Gem with a great strike and nice clean surfaces. The luster is creamy rich and brilliant with a very light golden-brown hue. A wonderful coin and a short-lived 'Arrow' type from the always popular New Orleans Mint!
Arrows. A short-lived three year type with mintages dropping each year after a prodigious start in 1853. Mint state coins from 1855 are scarce with just 13 coins grading finer than this example at PCGS. The present coin has creamy mint luster and a sharp strike with all the design elements well detailed and even the centers of each star fully defined. The surfaces are nearly mark-free making the MS-64 grade seem quite conservative.
CAC. Bright and lustrous with pleasing surfaces and outstanding eye appeal.
From the first year the mint sold proof sets to the public with about 300 sets made. Current estimates are that less than half that number have survived. This example is richly toned with shades of teal, dove-gray, and orange-gold.
A spectacular blast white example of this better date. The strike is extremely sharp and the surfaces are virtually mark-free. A thrilling early Seated Dime!
A stunning coin with frosty white devices and magnificent iridescent light golden mirrored field. This coin is amazing!
The last New Orleans mint dime struck before the outbreak of the Civil War. Only 40,000 minted and truly scarce in any grade. This very attractive example has nice silver-gray surfaces with solid detail and is problem-free.
CAC. Well detailed with nice light silver-gray surfaces that are free of the striking and planchet problems that tend to plague this scarce date. Just 140,000 minted and harder to find than even that modest mintage might suggest.
Intensely lustrous with beautiful contrast between the very deep mirrored proof surfaces and the frosted design elements. A light golden glow gives this coin excellent eye appeal and makes it particularly nice for the grade.
Very well struck with minimal abrasions and a light champagne hue. 190,000 struck and truly rare in mint state. NGC has only awarded a mint state grade to 11 coins - and that figure of course includes regraded crack-outs!

Does anyone out there have any comments about these appliances? They just started being manufactured in the US, according to GE's website. Our long nightmare with our FL Kenmore purchased in 2000 is ending - new interior drum in 2006, and now it appears the motor has completely burnt out or the control board is gone. I like the idea of a domestically made machine, but not if repairs will double or triple the price over 10 years. Thanks for any comments or suggestions. Long time lurker, and so I finally decided to join given the new washing machine crisis. |
Follow-Up Postings:
Despite GE's claims, tall front-load washers and dryers have been done before, by Amana in the '90s and Westinghouse in the '70s. I don't see any advantage of having the riser built-in as opposed to using a pedestal, which is available for almost every front-load laundry machine. The large capacity and door openings look good though. |
Thanks lee676. That was my thinking as well. At least with add-on pedestals you get some more storage space. I don't believe that it true with the GE Rightheight. Our main issue is trying to buy something made in the US. GE says they expanded their Kentucky plant to start building the Rightheights here: http://pressroom.geappliances.com/news/ge-selects-appliance-park-for-new-washer-and-dryer-production-creating-200-jobs But now here's the situation: I figured out that what the old, infamous Kenmore 417.42042100 needed was a door latch assembly. $75 part, 30 minutes of work. I think we're good for another year with the Fridgemore. So the big question is: if you had to do it all over again this year, would you buy a front loader with computer bells and whistles (like the Rightheight), or go old school with a US-made top loading Speed Queen or Whirlpool with dials only? I know this has been discussed exhaustively in past posts, but I haven't seen it recently. If anyone is reading this, let the games begin. |

Angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors are medicines. They treat heart, blood vessel, and kidney problems.
Angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors
ACE inhibitors are used to treat heart disease. These medicines make your heart work less hard by lowering your blood pressure. This keeps some kinds of heart disease from getting worse. Most people who have heart failure take these medicines.
These medicines treat high blood pressure, strokes, or heart attacks. They may help lower your risk for stroke or heart attack.
They also are used to treat diabetes and kidney problems. This can help keep your kidneys from getting worse. If you have these problems, ask your doctor if you should be taking these medicines.
There are many different names and brands of ACE inhibitors. Most work as well as another. Side effects may be different for different ones.
ACE inhibitors are pills that you take by mouth. Take all of your medicines as your doctor told you to. Try to take them at the same time, or times, each day. Do not stop taking your medicines without talking with your doctor first.
Follow up with your doctor regularly. Your doctor will check your blood pressure. Your doctor will also do blood tests to make sure the medicines are working properly. Your doctor may change your dose from time to time.
Plan ahead so that you do not run out of medicine. Make sure you have enough with you when you travel.
Other important tips are:
Side effects from ACE inhibitors are rare.
You may have a dry cough. This may go away after a while. If it does not, tell your doctor. Sometimes reducing your dose helps, but sometimes your doctor will switch you to a different medication. Do not lower your dose without talking with your doctor first.
You may feel dizzy or lightheaded when you start taking these medicines, or if your doctor increases your dose. Standing up slowly from a chair or your bed may help. If you have a fainting spell, call your doctor right away.
Some other side effects are:
If your tongue or lips swell, call your doctor right away, or go to the emergency room. You may be having a serious allergic reaction to the medicine. This is very rare.
Call your doctor if you are having any of the side effects above. Also call your doctor if you are having other unusual symptoms.

- Description: I have learned to love the world through photography. Looking through my lens allows me to see and appreciate everyday snippets of the beauty floating around me that I might otherwise miss. There are people, places, and things out there that need to be documented, captured, and preserved for the sake of present and future generations. It's absolutely thrilling to know that through my photographs, I can be a part of that documentation. I live for the moments when people can personally connect with my work. If I can change someone, somewhere through my photographs, I'm happy.

Been there, loved it, crowd was alot of fun. The dueling piano's were great, they are so entertaining. You can make just about any request and they can play it.
Great time!!! Crowd definitely helps/hurts the atmosphere, but well worth the trip.
Loved It!! My wife and I have been there 2 times (even put the kids in Disney day care so we could) and loved it both times. The music is great, the comedy between the two players is great. As mentioned the crowd participation / suggestion of music can enhance the experience.
Both times we went the crowds were very low. Maybe 1/4 to 1/2 full. We went right when it opened and didn't stay out past midnight so maybe the crowds fill in later.
I've never been, but it sounds like something to put on the todo list.
mini-V What will you celebrate?
Adult daycare for the kid inside you.
We'll be heading there on our trip next week. We've been once before. It was a really good time, but I would recommend heading there later at night, like after 11 PM. We arrived at 8 PM, and the crowd didn't get going until about 10:30 PM.
You see the hat? I am Mrs. Nesbitt!
I agree, if you can stay up late enough after a full day in the parks then your expeirence will be so much better.
Great laid back, low key time.
We love it. Andy is a musician so he loves the music and I love the cocktails! Try a Yellow Brick Road!

Posted 10 October 2012 - 05:05 AM
Do you have an example of what you're thinking about?
EDIT: my apologies…my computer was being weird and I didn't realize which post of yours I was questioning. But I suppose an example here might be of help as well. What other stats should they provide for (besides Soak and Defense)?
Posted 10 October 2012 - 09:54 AM
LETE said:
I believe that it would be swell if the Character Sheet had some space for Armor stats.
You mean other than the "Weapons & Armor" box found on the second page?
Most of what armor does for a character is going to calculated as part of their Soak value or their Defense scores, both of which are covered on the first page. Since a PC's weapons are already covered on the first page as well, they could use that Weapons & Armor box to note any special details about their armor, namely what modifications or upgrades (if any) have been installed to it.

Posted 10 October 2012 - 04:48 PM
Still… the sheet needs it! & what about a place to write down the armor's special qualities, if any?
Posted 15 October 2012 - 11:39 AM
It would be interesting to have a place to mark the severity of each critical injury received [for Medicine/MecHanics skill use purposes] and a space to tally the total penalty for Critical Injury rolls.
Also, a space for a characters Force Rating would be appreciated.

Posted 07 November 2012 - 08:39 AM
I found the character sheet generally substandard - I often do for games, but this one was exceptionally problematic on its face.
The sheet design, as laid out, is only practical if it's the inside two pages of a folio design, rather than a single page double-sided.
A large chunk of whitespace can be freed up to be filled with the talents by a different layout, like…
Header data
Atts ___ Skills
Wounds ___ Stress
For comparison, the current layout would be:
Header data
Wounds ___ Stress
I don't dislike the general look, but the sheet means I'm going to be flipping the sheet in combat to use my talents effectively. For my own use, I've already done up a much different looking character sheet.
I would prefer squares or circles to the sidewise chevrons in the skill level column.
Traits could use a "tree" column, or having a group of boxes for tracking which boxes of one's opened trees have been taking.
Posted 07 November 2012 - 04:47 PM
Personally, I'd like to suggest a landscape version of the character sheet, even if it's just a PDF download.

Is there any place in California selling these mango trees? Pine Island has them in FL but $55.00 for phyto cert is = 2plants I could be buying! I can get bananas from Fl and trees from Puerto Rico w/out the cert but not a mango. Any help? |
Follow-Up Postings:
Try giving Ong's Nursery a call. I know they carry grafted plants. They may have this variety. He's in San Diego. I've ordered from him before. Nice guy. |
This variety sounds interesting. Maybe we could find a source for some budwood somewhere. |
PIN sells grafted trees, also if the Fruit and Spice Park would be willing to sell bud wood you could get it from them. I have been interested in this variety, but have heard people disscribe the flavor as carrot like. |
hehe, Carrot like? |
I've tasted a couple, they were excellent. What's up doc? I wish carrots tasted like them. I have a small tree, got a ways to go til fruit. Indian mango, offspring of Neelum and something like Dashehari or something. Gary |
Gentlemen, I am very new, and I have a potted Mallika plant which I bought in March based on the excellent ratings of Fairchild & Pine Island Nursery,however, on obtaining the fruit earlier this month, I was dissapointed taste-wise.The blame is mine.I confused "flavor" with "sweetness". Now that I am wiser, I am asking you to suggest a condo/dwarf tree that produces a sweet fruit. Think "sweet".Gentlemen,"sweet".Something you have actually tasted.I like Sunworshiper's July 13, Carrie comment,but I need more opinions. After I have received a number of opinions.The majority choice will prevail, and I will post the results, and transmit pictures of my Mallika & the winning choice.Gentlemen! Start your engines!Horace |
I have a good sized tree. I thought the fruit was horrible. I definitely know what people are talking about with the carrot like descriptions. I actually threw most of mine away last season. I could send you some budwood if you want it Ethan. I am going to topwork mine over to a maha chanook at some point if I can ever get a graft to take. |
I just picked a few Mallika yesterday from my tree. I will eat them tonight. I really hope they are not carroty. Tomas |
- Posted by mango_kush 10b Hollywood, FL (My Page) on Mon, Aug 2, 10 at 13:18
carrot? no. maybe because it has a creamy consistency, like a boiled carrot papaya, honey, cantaloupe flavor i would say is more on par |
- Posted by sun_worshiper FL 9b (My Page) on Mon, Aug 2, 10 at 14:01
After tasting all the varieties I bought on my mango festival trip, I would have to say that the two sweetest varieties that I tasted were Carrie & Mallika. Of the two, I liked the Carrie a lot better than the Mallika. The Mallika was sweet and I tasted melon & honey. There was also a vegetable like component to the flavor that was not disagreeable to me but which I could see described as carrot like. Mostly I think I didn't care for the Mallika as much because I don't like cantaloupe, and it does have a lot of similar flavor. The Carrie on the other hand was very, very sweet with a completely fruity flavor. It was my husband's top pick overall. I would personally choose a variety with more tang in the flavor, but if you want just sweetness - go with the Carrie. |
- Posted by budershank (My Page) on Mon, Aug 2, 10 at 14:56
I had my first Mallika recently. I have read about how awesome they are, but honestly i I didn't enjoy it that much. Very cantaloupe/melon flavor. Might possibly be my least liked popular variety. Obviously this is opinion, but from the other posts you should be able to gather that this is a highly contested variety. If you have not had one yet, I highly suggest tasting this fruit before you spend money, and more importantly, time into growing one. |
- Posted by tropicalgrower89 10b (My Page) on Mon, Aug 2, 10 at 16:38
I've tasted a carrie myself and it tastes awesome. I kept the seed and it is already growing a root. Should take 3 to 4 years to grow mangoes so I'm not that worried about grafting it. I'm growing a haden seedling which I will use for a grafting experiment. |
- Posted by hmhausman FL 10B (email@example.com) on Mon, Aug 2, 10 at 17:21
TropicalGrower89: If you are getting fruit in 3-4 years from a mango seed you should probably report your results to the Guinness Book of World records. I haven't been able to get one to fruit from seed in less than 7 years and most take even longer. What is your secret? Also, I am sorry to tell you that whatever grows out of the seed you are planting will not bear Carrie fruit. The seedling you are growing will be a new individual, genetically distinct, and different to the parent tree's fruit. It is possibly going to be superior to the Carrie fruit you ate, but it is much more likely to be inferior. I have a seedling of Carrie that has become the named culitvar now called Dot. I feel this is superior to Carrie. I also have one that I grew from seed myself and it produces fruit that is very similar to Carrie in flavor and color, but the fruits are 2-3 times the size of Carrie. One problem, the tree has never borne more than 2 fruit in a season and had none this year. Best of luck to you in any case. I hope your tree defies the odds and is prolifically wonderful for you. Harry |
Hi, Well, I really didn't like the taste of my Mallika that much that I had tonight. Now I want to buy another kind of Mango, something with a hint of citrus perhaps. If I remember correctly, the Valencia Pride I ate a few years ago tasted like that and may fit the bill. Tomas |
- Posted by hmhausman FL 10B (email@example.com) on Mon, Aug 2, 10 at 20:49
Tomas: Yes, if citrus is what you want, Valencia Pride will definitely fill that need. Also, you may want to consider Po Pu Kalay if you want a more lemony taste. Harry |
- Posted by mango_kush 10b Hollywood, FL (My Page) on Mon, Aug 2, 10 at 21:44
Valencia Pride is good but to me tastes very Haden like, if you want something more citrusey try an Asian mango or a cross like Edward. |
Thanks Mango_kush and Harry! I have never tasted Po Pu Kalay or Edward. Both sounds good to me. I bet I can never find them at a local supermarket to get a bite. Are Po Pu Kalay and Edward both large trees? Can they be kept at 8ft or so? Tomas |
- Posted by hmhausman FL 10B (email@example.com) on Mon, Aug 2, 10 at 22:42
While Edward is an excellent mango, I have never heard its flavor described as citrussy. Virtually all mangoes can be kept under control with vigorous pruning. Edward tends to grow larger than Po Pu Kalay, but I think it could be kept at 10 feet pretty easily. Unfortunately, I am out of both Edward and PPK mangoes or I'd offer to let you try them at my house. I do have some of Valencia Pride if you'd like to come by to try it. Harry |
I saw a link on Pine Islands website for a video blog. They show several diffrent mangoes and I know Edward was one of them and there tree was pretty big. I remember saying that I wanted one but was told that they were not good candidates for pot culture. I don't know anything about Po Pu Kalay. Andrew |
- Posted by budershank (My Page) on Tue, Aug 3, 10 at 7:42
To me, Edwards taste more coconut/pina colada taste. It's actually my favorite mango tasted to date. Cogshall and Bombay have a distinct citrus flavor in my opinion. I know many other types do as well but those are the only 2 I have tried to date that left a memorable impression. Unfortunately unless you can special order it online I don't think you will find either. Bombay's coming to the end of their season and dropping fruit like crazy here in central FL so if you want to try it, i'd search now. |
- Posted by sun_worshiper FL 9b (My Page) on Tue, Aug 3, 10 at 9:44
Edward is awesome! It was hands down my favorite that I tasted. I didn't taste citrus, but it did have a very nice sweet/tart balance that I loved. I had thought that the tree would be too large for me to attempt, so I am very interested in Harry's comment that one could be kept at 10'. That's a reasonable range for me. That will give me something fun to think about today for sure=) |
I have tasted most of them. The Carrie is very sweet and creamy with no fiber. The lemon meringue mango is also sweet and has a citrus-like smell but has a flavor I would characterize as more like orange sorbet or a creamsickle not lemony, and it also is creamy with no fiber. The valencia pride tree is ridiculously large grower unless you keep it seriously pruned, the fruit are later in the season which may be a bonus to you, the fruit are large 'appearing' (it is flatter with a big pit so there is not a lot of flesh compared to it's parent-haden) but the flavor I find less appealing than some of the others. It is just an average mango. I think the cogshall or pickering is a better tasting mango if you are looking for something small to grow in a container or in a small yard. |
Boson, hey it says on the Pine Island website that the mallika mangos must ripen in a cardboard box for two weeks in order to properly ripen. I could not help but notice that you ate yours about a day after picking them. Mango nurseries really praise the flavor of the Mallika, this leads me to think that perhaps all of you that did not like the taste perhaps did not let them properly ripen, the way it is suggested. |
You guys are really helpful with all good information. Too bad your don't all agree - that would make it easier for me to choose :-) Thanks, Tomas |
I have to say Mallika mangos are real good in my opinion. They definitely should be picked green once their shoulders have filled out. After that, the hardest part is having the patience not cut them too soon. The fragrance is so tantalizing that I have to pick one for a quick smell everything I walk by them in the kitchen. I probably could have waited yet another day or two on this one (middle one). These were picked about 8 or 9 days prior. Enjoy the photos. BTW - thanks for all those folks are continually posting to this awesome forum. |
I love your pics mango nut! How old is your tree? |
This is the second season its given us fruit. I bought it as a 7 gal tree 3 years ago. The tree is now around 6-7' tall. Last year we got around 2 doz mangos from it. This years number were about the same. The freeze certainly affected it, but a whole lot less than my other mangos. |

One of the sweetest, tastiest mangos (to me) is the Dot. Some may find it a bit too sweet/rich, but I love it. I find it more susceptible to anthracnose than some other varieties. If you're close to the ocean, or have a good spray program, that might not be a concern for you. What do you think of Kent? To me it is every bit as sweet as a mango needs to be. |

Very interesting, I am in search for a Dot. I love rich and sweet mangos. In Socal we don't have to worry about anthracnose because of our arid climate. JF |

Can-C Eye Drops
There is one product that has been gaining good reviews – Can-C eye drops. It has proven itself to be effective when it comes to controlling and even reversing any disorders related to ageing plus senile cataract.
This product has been developed and at the same time patented by the company called Innovative Vision products. Each Can-C product contains NAC or N-acetlycarnosine which is in special form. This ingredient is even found on the human body. NAC is necessary and plays an important role when it comes to preventing any type of diseases pertinent to ageing.
Even if naturally, carnosine is indeed present on our bodies, it does decrease when the body ages. Thus, senile cataracts will start to appear. Cataract is a type of an eye disease that does lead to visual impairment or having blurry vision. If things come to worst, it will even lead to blindness.
Surgery is the common treatment; however, there is a problem with that. There is a tendency that the patient will suffer from bleeding during post surgery or get eye infection.
With Can-C eye drops, it is applied directly to the eyes. No risk of bleeding and other eye infections. However, treatment can take within 3-6 months. In the long run, the eye drops is cheaper compared to surgery.
