Hello everyone. I am new here and was wondering if anyone had any information on a hoya montana.
I bought this hoya last x-mas and have just repotted it. ( which I don't think was a very good idea). the new growth that was growing is now turning yellow :(. Anyway back on topic, it is a young plant and is fizzy all over, from leaves to stem. I was wondering what sort of care I should be giving it. I have tried looking it up on the net, but can never find that whole plant just the flowers it may produce. (no flowers yet from mine). I also have a few over cutting from a hoya publicalix(sp) and they seem to be doing great. I don't want to kill this beautiful fizzy hoya. Any help would be great! |

Hi, I purchased mine as a cutting from a Hawaian vendor a little over a year ago and it is just now starting to send out growth. My montana, however, is not fuzzy at all. I wonder if one of us received a mislabeled plant. Since it started to grow, I've been keeping it a bit moist, not letting it completely dry out, and it is sitting in a Minnesota SE window with no supplemental light. Hope this helps. Lisa |

It is true, Hoya montana is not fuzzy. You can see in the description I've linked below that the leaves are glabrous (smooth). Also, I've bought this plant twice (2nd time's the charm!) and both cuttings were entirely smooth. Maybe if you post a picture we can give you some ideas on what it might be. As for the other matter, it's not too bad a sign if new growth dies when you repot a Hoya. Obviously it's disappointing, but not really a sign that the plant is in trouble, just that you've shocked it a bit and it nixed the new growth. This sort of thing can happen even if you let it dry out too much while the growth is fresh. I'd just keep an eye on it and it will probably put out some new growth soon if all is well. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Hoya montana (Hoyor)
GG...I bet ya a cutting she's got AH0240 instead of montana. Now, bear in mind, that is a sight unseen guess . . . but . . .juuuuuust maybe! Or an eriostemma... but my bet is still on AH0240 Can't wait to see a pic! Carolyn |

Oh man Carolyn. We're betting cuttings now? An excellent proposition. Every time one of us has a NoID, we should all stake cuttings and whoever comes out with the right bet, wins the pot. I was thinking some kind of australis or calycina - I'd never heard of AH0240, but now that you point it out, it does seem like an excellent candidate. Eriostemmas too, are so obviously fuzzy. Or how about albiflora? It has pubescent vines, doesn't it? The fuzzy is a good clue, Harrison, especially as both the leaf and stem are pubescent. Is it fuzzy on both sides of the leaf? I hope you aren't too disappointed you don't have montana, but I'm sure whatever plant you DO have, is just as beautiful. ^_^ |
Well, GG . . . I guess when my plant gets bigger, I'll need to send you a piece of AH0240 ;) Carolyn (And I love the whole throwing cuttings in the pot on bets . . . if it's not against forum rules :P ) |

I will diff get a picture up ASAP. I believe that the leaf is fuzzy on both sides. Though I will check first thing when I get home. The lady I bought it from said that it would have yellow flowers. (thats why I origanally bought it). I just I'll have to wait and see what type of flowers it will give me. will love it no matter what flowers though. by the way what is the full name of AH0240? thanks so much |
The full name of AH0240 is Hoya AH0240! hahaha That's it, as far as I know. Carolyn |

Here it is I hope this works https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=570245466890&set=a.563860761890.2067254.53900315&type=1&theater https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=570245486850&set=a.563860761890.2067254.53900315&type=1&theater https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=570245501820&set=a.563860761890.2067254.53900315&type=1&theater |

ok that did work lets try this ok so it worked. As you can see the leaves are all fuzzy as well as the stem. I love that its all fuzzy |
Its similar to H. Ciliata and a bit H calycina, its very pretty. |
NOT AH0240. Hmmm . . . looks ALOT like my 'optimistic', which is an eriostemma. Carolyn |
- Posted by Harrison871 none (My Page) on Sat, Jul 2, 11 at 21:14
thanks ya'll for that help. I am really excited to find out what flowers I get. Any idea at how long it will take a cutting to produce flowers? Now that I think about it, I also bought a different cutting from the same vender this past may. She said that It was a publicalyx(sp), but after finding out I don't have a montana, I'm wondering if it really is a publicalyx. It have smooth, glossy dark green leaves with white spects. This one is also growing like a weed :P I'll post some pictures later so that I can get a comfirmation. I also have another cutting from my mother hard to describe but I have pictures of the buds/flowers and the plant she took it from. ~Melissa |
Melissa, For your Eriostemma (whichever one it may be) grow in in pretty bright light. Mine LOVES the East window. And try not to move it. They don't like to be moved around much, if at all. Add a bit of calcium to your potting mix, and water FREQUENTLY. They are VERY thirsty plants. ;) Your pubicalyx "sounds" like it's really a pubicalyx ...but a picture would help. :) Hope this helps! Carolyn |
- Posted by Harrison871 none (My Page) on Fri, Jul 8, 11 at 1:04
Sure looks like a pubicalyx to me! Carolyn |
- Posted by ima_digger 9 SE FL (My Page) on Fri, Jul 8, 11 at 9:13
Looks like pubycalyx to me too. Nice looking beautiful healtyy, shiny leaves. I find that pubycalyx grows very fast. I had four different ones, but most froze last winter. I rescued a stem from each and now they are really starting to grow. In fact the 'purple hybrid' just bloomed on one lonely peduncle. |

Very Pretty! I can't wait until I get flowers! |

Aleksandrs Hoholko, Jevgenijs Kuzmenko, and Vitalijs Drozdovs Plead Guilty in U.S. Federal Cour
The United States Attorney's Office announced that during a federal court session in Helena on March 30, 2010, before Senior U.S. District Judge Charles C. Lovell, ALEKSANDRS HOHOLKO, age 30, JEVGENIJS KUZMENKO, age 26, and VITALIJS DROZDOVS, age 33, residents of Riga, Latvia, pled guilty to receipt of extortion proceeds. Sentencing has been set for June 16, 2010. They are currently detained.
In an Offer of Proof filed by Assistant U.S. Attorneys Michael S. Lahr and Ryan M. Archer, the government stated it would have proved at trial the following:
Between December 20, 2007, and January 11, 2008, John Doe effected a series of unauthorized intrusions into the D.A. Davidson ("Davidson") computer system and stole personal and/or financial account information from thousands of customers. John Doe demanded $80,000 in exchange for disclosing security vulnerabilities and destroying any confidential information stolen from Davidson's computer system.
The United States Secret Service ("USSS"), in conjunction with Davidson, negotiated with John Doe in an effort to determine his location and identity. From approximately February 8, 2008, to February 18, 2008, the USSS negotiated with John Doe for the delivery of money to the Netherlands through Western Union transfers. John Doe specifically identified Aleksandrs Hoholko ("HOHOLKO") and Jevgenijs Kuzmenko ("KUZMENKO") as the individuals to pick up the money.
John Doe designated KUZMENKO as the person who would pick up a Western Union transfer in the Netherlands on February 14, 2008. The transfer did not go through because there was a hold placed on it, and the value was not as much as it was supposed to be. On February 15, 2008, a second transfer was sent to the Netherlands and picked up by HOHOLKO. He received $1,500 from Western Union in Eindhoven and provided his Latvian passport as identification.
On February 18, 2008, HOHOLKO attempted to pick up a second transfer in Eindhoven. Agents of the Netherlands High Tech Crime Unit observed HOHOLKO attempting to pick the money up and arrested him. Agents also arrested Vitalijs Drozdovs ("DROZDOVS") who drove HOHOLKO to the Western Union. Officers discovered a firearm and money transfer receipts in the vehicle. Dutch law enforcement then went to the apartment where DROZDOVS and HOHOLKO were staying and discovered KUZMENKO residing there as well. Agents recovered DROZDOVS' cell phone which had a text message on it referring to one of the Western Union transfers from Davidson to the Netherlands.
Each defendant made a statement to Dutch agents when they were questioned in the Netherlands. Each of them admitted picking up money, although they denied criminal involvement. HOHOLKO and KUZMENKO explained that "Vitaliy" would receive a text message with instructions on when and where to pick up money. They would then receive the money and give it back to Vitaliy. They said they did not know his last name. HOHOLKO said that he would sometimes give the money to someone on the street that he did not know. Both HOHOLKO and KUZMENKO said that they did not know who sent the messages or who received the money. KUZMENKO further claimed that he did not know who bought his ticket to the Netherlands and never knew HOHOLKO's last name because he was a comrade and "you do not ask a comrade for a last name."
DROZDOVS said that he received text messages with instructions to pick up money, but claimed he did not know who sent them. He said that once a week he would give the money to the driver of a bus from the Netherlands to Riga, Latvia. Upon giving it to the bus driver, DROZDOVS would write an 8-digit number on the envelope and then send that number to an associate. He said the bus driver would take 1% of the proceeds, and he claimed to not know who ultimately received the money.
After their arrest and a search of their vehicle and apartment, agents also discovered other hand written notes with Western Union wire transfer numbers, names, amounts, and countries of origin. Similar messages were found on a cell phone in DROZDOVS' possession.
They each face possible penalties of 3 years in prison, a $250,000 fine and 1 year supervised release.
The investigation was conducted by the U.S. Secret Service.
A copy of the Offer of Proof can be obtained by contacting Sally Frank at (406) 247-4638.

Direct Mail Outlook : Rolling with the Punches
December 2009 By Erik CagleSenior Editor
WANT TO know the state of direct mail volume in the United States? Just ask the U.S. Postal Service (USPS), which recently announced a net loss of $3.8 billion for 2009 amid a volume reduction of 28 billion pieces.
How badly was the USPS impacted? About 375 retail stations and branches remain under consideration for consolidation. Six district offices were closed, roughly 150,000 employees were offered early retirement and another 1,400-plus mail processing, supervisory and managerial positions were lopped off.
Those were just the symptoms of what is wrong with the patient, namely advertising mail. The economy has devastated two of the nation's top direct mail marketers, namely the financial and automotive industries, resulting in fewer mailings for Chase credit cards, Toyota Tundra ads, home refinancing loans and the like.
Snail Mail vs. e-Mail
Indeed, it has become fashionable to view hard-copy communications as an antiquated method of doing business. Many people now turn to the Internet for business formerly conducted by mail. The Bay Area, meanwhile, sprouted a pair of Do Not Mail initiatives as the general public—in the name of "going green"—remains ignorant of the connection between advertising mail and its impact on the ongoing viability of neighborhood post offices.
Mail volume reduction and the movement of marketing dollars toward digital media—two key elements that threaten to send the USPS into a so-called "death spiral"—have prompted Montreal-based Worldcolor to focus on developing new products and services for marketers. According to Barry Bogle, vice president of business development for Worldcolor, it has prompted the company to seek out market segments where growth is occurring.
To leverage that movement toward digital media, Worldcolor formed Integrated Multichannel Solutions (IMCS) in 2008. It enables customers to integrate marketing messages across multiple channels, including print, according to Bogle.
"The creation of IMCS has led to new revenue streams and enhanced relationships with both current clients and prospects," he remarks. "Worldcolor's ability to integrate marketing messages across multiple channels into cohesive programs has not only built new print opportunities, but also provided new income streams. The IMCS program has introduced new products to the marketplace at a rapid pace, including such popular solutions as net.driver and store.driver."
Worldcolor has worked closely with its clients to optimize postage savings, as well as maximize the relevance and return on investment for each marketing campaign. Bogle notes Worldcolor's ability to track the results of each campaign as a core value.

We at The Audit have called on the press to do more reporting on the underbelly of the mortgage industry, who fed it, and how it metastasized in the absence of government oversight.
So it's nice, but all too rare, for us when we see all three in one neat package. The Miami Herald has run a series of stories since July called "Borrowers Betrayed" on the ex-cons—literally—who ran rampant in the Florida mortgage-brokerage industry during the boom and the regulators who let them do it.
State regulators allowed thousands of ex-convicts to enter a profession that gave them access to the most sensitive and personal financial information: credit cards, bank accounts and Social Security numbers.Those criminals went on to commit nearly $85 million in mortgage fraud, the newspaper found. They stole their customers' identities. They stole their money. They even stole their homes…
Beyond the licensing, regulators routinely overlooked or ignored complaints, allowing rogue brokers to flourish amid one of the biggest housing booms in state history.
It's excellent (and as Barry Ritholtz at The Big Picture, says, prize-winning) stuff and has already claimed the head of a key regulatory agency in Florida and led the state to enact emergency measures to rectify the problem.
Jack Dolan, the reporter who kicked off the series, which he wrote with colleagues Rob Barry and Matthew Haggman, has been at the Herald for a year and a half. Before that he was on the I-team of the Hartford Courant for six years.
The Audit spoke to Dolan recently about mortgage crimes, lax regulators and "street-level dealers":
The Audit: How did you get the idea for this story? The mortgage mess has obviously been the big news, particularly in Florida, but where did this angle come from?
Jack Dolan: I started on a story in August of 2007 on all the toxic mortgages that had been written in Miami. If you stood on the roof of The Miami Herald, we're surrounded almost 360 degrees by empty brand-new, gleaming condo towers. And you have to figure there's not a 30-year fixed mortgage in any one of them.
Part of what I was doing was talking to mortgage brokers just to see if anybody even asks for a 30-year fixed anymore. As just kind of CYA, before I would put a mortgage broker's "expert" quote in the paper, I would put them quickly through the state criminal-background check, and I was really stunned by a couple of people I saw, crimes like fraud and there was one RICO I came across that way.
So it was kind of a short leap from there to ask the state banking commissioner for all of the licensed mortgage brokers in the state and do a mass batch match looking for their criminal records. The first screen that came up there was one bank robbery and I figured we were onto something.
TA: It's interesting you found that in a pretty basic step but one I don't think most reporters would have gone through the trouble of doing.
JD: In Miami you might. I went to Missouri grad school and I worked at NICAR, so I just sort of got it drummed into my head—check
TA: What did you expect to find when you went in there? Some of those numbers are amazing.
JD: I expected there would be some criminal histories. There's gonna be a few pot possessions and stuff like that. The law said that they were supposed to screen brokers for crimes involving fraud, dishonesty, and "moral turpitude", which has a pretty broad definition. When I saw the first screen, and one of the first people was a bank robber. I said, "okay, how did a bank robber slide around that definition?"
TA: How many were prevented from getting licenses?
JD: Whenever the agency takes some sort of action against a broker or even an applicant, they have to file a final order, so we went back and looked through all the final orders for denial of licenses that mentioned fraud, dishonesty or moral turpitude. I forget what the number was, but I'm tempted to say twenty-nine from 2000 to 2007.
TA: They had the regulatory power to do this. What was the reason they didn't? A big part of the problem on Wall Street and across the country has been this laissez-faire attitude toward regulation. Was it philosophy? What caused them to just not do their job?

review by Keith
The Bench 2000
Keith's review:
Had no expectations of this film at all. I mean how interesting can a film be of watching a drunk guy on a bench. Well, as it turns out, very interesting. Jesper Christensen delivers an excellent performance as Kaj, a grumpy old man with plenty of demons. When a battered mother and her child show up in his neighbourhood, he is roped in to help and consequently has some tough choices to make. I particularly found the ending to be very good and in character.
8 Comments
I was completely blown away by this when I watched it a good while back. Are you going to watch the rest of the trilogy? I still haven't gotten around to it. Rarely am I up for the social realism films that Danes too often tend to make.
Trilogy? Which are the other two films? Sure you aren't thinking of the Pusher Trilogy?
A Dane called Aaron? ;-)
just read up about them on IMDB. They can't be a true trilogy as Jesper Christensen is in Part 3 too. Anyhow, I will definitely watch them if i come across them.
Me ma' irish, you see ;)
Well, it must be easier for the Danes to pronounce than Keith. :-p
Not at all, far from it. They know Keith Richards ;)
Well, all rhe Danes I have ever met couldn't pronounce his name correctly either. They did know the name, they just couldn't say it correctly. Anyway... nok om det... ,-)

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

ATTRIBUTION: STRATFOR source
SOURCE DESCRIPTION: Yemeni diplomat/good friend
PUBLICATION: used most of this in analysis
SPECIAL HANDLING: Alpha
SOURCE HANDLER: Reva
The deal is about 13 pages long, super detailed that goes into all the
contingencies (such as , if VP can't form govt within x many days, then
cabinet decision made in y days, etc.) The most important parts are -
Saleh becomes a queen (by this he means giving up all exec powers, only
titular role) to the VP, elections within 90 days, the VP is the interim
president and will likely become the next president in elections. He's
seen as the peacemaker - close to all sides, including Ali Mohsen, loyal
at the same time to Saleh, very pragmatic, not seen as corrupt, quiet
talker, but also a military commander. he's got appeal.
The Cabinet positions are shared b/w JMP and GPC, ie. if minister goes to
one, deputy minister goes to the other. Everyone and their mom got bribed
to move this along ,we can thank the Saudis for that. That's why the youth
on the streets are so crazy pissed right now - this came out of nowhere
for them and the JMP left them completely out of it.
The Saudis really made it happen. Without the GCC framework, there was
nothing to go on. Saleh now has the foreign backing to remove AM's troops
from the capital. they can't use the excuse that they're protecting the
youth from Saleh if Saleh is gone. The Saudis are now expected to bring AM
and the al Ahmars in line. It's up to them to negotiate, but AM is pretty
cornered at this point. AM's forces kept trying to defeat the 53rd
mountain brigade of the Republican Guard north of Sanaa, which is the
weakest brigade, but they put up a fight. AM couldn't defeat them.
Now, the VP will head a new military council. Think of him as the Tantawi
of yemen. Let's see now if AM pledges allegiance to the new military
council under Hadi.
Saleh's family remains in place. Ahmed Ali, the son, has control over the
armed forces and is building up those forces (again, with foreign
backing.) Saleh got his dignified exit when no one was paying attention to
Yemen, and now everyone from the US to the UN to the Saudis to even the
Russians are supporting him in this deal. The regime is pretty much in
place. The military council down the line will work on restructuring the
armed forces, but that will take a long time.
Saleh has been assured by the foreign mediators that he won't be
prosecuted, but you can never formalize that kind of immunity in
international law. Whose to say that the next government in any of these
countries will stick to the agreement? But that's the risk he had to
take. The think Ban ki Moon said about Saleh going to NY for medical
reasons was taken way out of context. Saleh was just speaking to him,
saying he'll visit NY soon and they talked about his health, but that has
nothing to do with any of this. Saleh is safest in KSA and UAE, not US.

In many regards, social development in Livingston Parish resembles the colorful pattern that characterizes Louisiana as a whole. The contrasts separating French Creole Acadiana from the upland, predominantly Anglo-Celtic, region of the Bayou State mirror the cultural divisions that differentiate northern Livingston Parish from environs south of Interstate Twelve. Perhaps most importantly, dissemination of the word of God reflects Livingston's role as a microcosm for evaluating the state as a whole. Traditionally, the northern portion of the parish has been the domain of Baptist, Methodist, and assorted fundamentalist Protestant faiths, while in the southern reaches Roman Catholicism reigns supreme. From the colonial period into the mid-twentieth century, the original American Protestant faith, the Episcopal Church, found no home in Livingston Parish.
Providing a direct challenge to the prevailing 200 year void, in the summer of 1952 the Lord shone his blessings on our home region inspiring a small group of spirited individuals to introduce an Episcopal Church amid the piney woods of Livingston. Little more than a small country town itself in the early 1950s, Denham Springs served as the focal point for the new movement with the arrival of the Nicholas Pugh family, transplants from Napoleonville. Dedicated Episcopalians, the Pughs transferred their membership to Trinity Episcopal Church in Baton Rouge where they encountered Edwin C. Coleman, a theological student on the staff at Trinity, who first suggested the creation of an Episcopal parish in Livingston. Armed with a vision to further the Lord's work in her new home, Mrs. Pugh hosted a meeting where sixteen people signed a document filing for status as a mission. Within weeks, the first service was held on August 31, 1952 in the First Methodist Church of Denham Springs where services continued through early 1953. Layreaders and clergymen from Trinity and St. James churches in Baton Rouge conducted the services. On January 21, 1953, the fledgling mission was admitted in union with the Diocese of Louisiana. The mission's advance was occasioned largely through the efforts of a small group of dedicated individuals, most notably: James, Betty, and Corinna Wilcombe; Mr. and Mrs. T. D. Kemp, Robert and Betty Quinn, Eleanor Magee, Mrs. Henri Tinsley, Harrison Bradshaw, Mr. and Mrs. J. C. Copes, Mr. and Mrs. Clarence Shaffer, and Mr. and Mrs. Ben Carlos. By mid-1953, the congregation had rented a small converted house on the corner of Railroad Avenue and Main Street that was later purchased for $4,700.00. An alter was constructed on the north end of the structure while the two bedrooms were converted into a Sunday school room and a nursery respectively. Virtually all of the renovations were completed by the members themselves - while the men worked clearing debris and making repairs, the women cleaned and cooked. Mrs. Tinsley encouraged weekend workers with a special gumbo every Saturday. Donated brown paint suited the men who quickly applied it, only to surrender to the women who recoiled at the appearance of a brown church, demanding and receiving a more appropriate "churchly" shade of white.
As the building took form, the mission continued to grow, choosing the name St. Francis as an appropriate appellation for a church emerging amid the pristine environs of Livingston Parish. In March 1953, the Bishopric sent O. C. Edwards, a young deacon from Trinity to St. Francis where he remained until early 1954. Edwards was replaced by Father Clarence Pope who served as Vicar until 1956. Following Pope's departure, Father Robert C. Hall assumed direction of the small mission. Hall, a former radio announcer, proved a dynamic as well as a pleasantly opinionated leader captivating the congregation with his powerful sermons. Under his direction the membership continued to grow, necessitating the enlargement of the chapel to accommodate 105 people. When Father Hall departed in the summer of 1959 to assume responsibilities at St. Luke's Episcopal Church in Baton Rouge, the Bishopric dispatched Reverend Albertus Deloach to Denham Springs. Under his effective leadership the church continued to grow, inspiring Mrs. Monita Jackson Lard to donate four and one half acres of property which continues to serve as the spiritual homestead of St. Francis. Through the early 1960s a more visible presence, complimented by ever growing numbers of dedicated parishioners, furthered the growth of the Episcopal presence in Livingston. In April 1967, Father Richard Walkley assumed direction at St. Francis after Reverend DeLoach moved to St. Augustine's in New Orleans. Under his leadership the church building was moved to the property donated by Mrs. Lard and a home on Popular Street in Denham Springs was purchased to serve as a rectory. Upon Father Walkley's departure in January 1969, the Reverend John G. Allen became Vicar of St. Francis. Mrs. Eleanor Magee, one of the charter members, generously bequeathed $51,000.00 which served as the core of a fund to construct the present church building. Supplemented by pledges from the members the new building, originally designed to serve as a parish hall, was completed in 1974. The new building and grounds encouraged the sustained growth necessary to allow St. Francis to achieve parish status by 1976.
In 1977, Father Allen departed and Father John Kline, a retired priest from Grace Episcopal Church in St. Francisville, kindly helped sustain the message at St. Francis until the arrival of Reverend David Cameron in August of the same year. Father Cameron is credited with providing critical stability and a functioning organizational structure to the loosely run parish. When Father Cameron departed he left a well-organized Sunday school program and a committed vestry for interim minister Reverend Frank Hipwell and his successor as priest Reverend Elliot Marshall III. Under Father Marshall's leadership the Sunday School Annex building was added to the church grounds and a developing lay readership program was in place. Father Marshall resigned in 1990. Direction of St. Francis fell to Reverend Donald R. Brown. Father Brown oversaw the emergence of a thriving daycare program that facilitated increasing membership and an expanding budget. By the early 1990s the operating budget of St. Francis increased to more than $75,000.00 while membership approached nearly two hundred. When Father Brown departed in 1996, the Reverend Paul B. Hancock, headmaster at Episcopal High School in Baton Rouge agreed to serve as interim priest until the arrival of Father Bevin Leach in 1998. Father Leach encouraged continued parish growth, championing such projects as the annual Pumpkin Patch and Fall Festival that serves as a central component of church fellowship and community outreach. Father Leach's departure in 2001 again necessitated the call for an interim priest. As we approach Founders Day 2002, delineating the fiftieth anniversary of St. Francis, Father Robin Whitlock has graciously assumed primary responsibility for overseeing spiritual development in the parish. During the short 50 year span that has witnessed St. Francis' advance from an idea to the spiritual community it represents today, fourteen priests and key interim ministers have overseen development.
Like all churches, St. Francis has witnessed her fair share of challenges. But her strength has remained manifest in the devotion of her parishioners to sustaining the vision that brought the Episcopal faith to Livingston Parish. Whether in the form of collecting S&H Green Stamps to secure the first organ, confronting the demands of escalating costs with limited resources, or simply in sustaining the "big tent" ideal where everyone is welcome so central to Episcopal ideology in a time where categories and labels frequently divide us, the love of Christ and a commitment to his worship has guided the vision at St. Francis. In the early days of the small mission, Jim Wilcombe, one of the charter members, took a seed from Christ Church Cathedral and planted it on the church grounds near the present building. Much like the resulting towering oak that provides shade and succor to both parishioners and the wildlife cherished by our patron Saint alike, St. Francis has overcome all obstacles in her path ensuring that the Episcopal vision of Christ like commitment will burn brightly in Livingston Parish for generations to come.

Cubs, WGN potential split conjures up memories
BY MARK POTASH Staff Reporter November 6, 2013 10:29PM
Legendary Cubs broadcaster Harry Caray jokes around prior to a game in 1996 against Houston at Wrigley Field. —Sun-Times Library photo
Cubs local broadcast ratings on Ch. 9
2010: 3.8
2011: 3.2
2012: 2.6

Like many Chicagoans, I have fond memories of running home from elementary school to catch the ends of Cubs games with Jack Brickhouse and Lloyd Pettit on WGN in the 1960s — hearing Brickhouse give us the happy (or unhappy) totals, watching the ''10th Inning'' show and listening to Brickhouse sign off while stray fans popped paper cups by stomping them with their feet in an empty Wrigley Field.
Me and a million other Cubs fans.
''Over the years, even in retirement, I've run into countless people who say to me, 'You know, when I was in school . . .'' said Jack Rosenberg, the longtime sports editor of WGN television. ''And I'd say, 'You can stop. You got home in the fifth or sixth inning and we were always there.'
''And they'll say, 'How did you know I was going to say that?' I said, 'Because I've heard it literally thousands of times over the years.' And I'm very flattered to have been a part of it. It's been an incredible part of all our lives, and we really hope that we're on 'GN television when the Cubs finally [win the World Series].''
While the hope is that the Cubs will win a World Series in our lifetime, the chances of that glorious season being on WGN is in doubt with news that the long-running and indelible relationship between the Cubs and WGN could end after next season.
In a not-unexpected move, the Cubs have exercised an option in their television contract that allows them to explore other options after 2014. WGN could be one of those options, but in today's market, with the Cubs in need of maximizing every revenue stream possible, it's possible a new deal could be too rich for WGN's blood.
That would be a shame to those of us who grew up with Brickhouse and Pettit and Harry Caray and Steve Stone. The reality is that times have changed. By the time I flip through cable channels to find out whether the Cubs game is on WGN or Comcast or WCIU or wherever it is these days, the Cubs are usually down 5-1 and I quickly flip to ''American Pickers'' or ''Pawn Stars.''
But once upon a time, WGN and the Cubs were one and the same. The Cubs have been on WGN literally since the advent of regularly programmed television in 1948. Ray Rayner, ''Romper Room,'' ''Bozo's Circus,'' ''Garfield Goose'' and ''Family Classics'' are long gone. But the Cubs and WGN have endured from one generation to the next.
''To people of my generation, baseball never would be the same without WGN television's involvement,'' said Rosenberg, a fixture in the Cubs television booth with Brickhouse and later Caray from 1954 to 1995; it was his typewriter that created the familiar ambient sound on Cubs broadcasts all those years. ''Obviously I'm partial, but I think 'GN television has been a part of everybody's life who is a sports fan.
''It would be a tremendous loss because WGN and the Cubs have been synonymous forever. In the embryonic days of television, we were there. We were with the Cubs in the beginning stages of radio much, much earlier. It's been a tremendous partnership, a family deal of sorts. Let's hope that there could be some meeting of the minds before this is all hashed out.''
Stone, who played for the Cubs from 1974 to '76 and broadcast Cubs games on WGN with Harry Caray and Chip Caray from 1983 to 2004 — and still calls White Sox games on WGN — is hopeful the Cubs can work out a deal with their longtime broadcast partner.
''It was one of the really great times of my life,'' Stone said. ''It's not a fait accompli yet, as I understand it. WGN will have an opportunity, and I'm pretty sure they're pursuing that opportunity to maintain a presence of the Cubs on the air, which would be a wonderful eventuality for WGN and the fans of Chicago.
''That being said, it is a business. If the Ricketts family can get a much better deal someplace else or starting something on their own . . . where they get a tremendous increase in revenue, I don't think anyone can blame them for moving on.''
That won't make the pain any less for those of us who grew up on Cubs baseball on WGN. The Cubs started putting their games on television in the 1950s when few other teams did. While most teams considered televising games ''giving away the product,'' Cubs owner P.K. Wrigley saw it as promoting the product. And even when other organizations caught on, the Cubs and WGN stayed way ahead of everybody else. The Cubs were broadcasting 140 or more games every season on WGN when most other teams were televising 40 or fewer.
And, as Rosenberg noted, ''You never had to look in the paper to see what channel the game was on.''
It was a different time indeed. A gloriously different time.

Living in NC has really been a challenge during the summer months when trying to keep the heat from killing my freezer which has no choice but to stay in the garage. However, with the extreme heat, the sides of the freezer are too hot to touch. Fortunately, the inside thermometer still says it's below 0, but wonder how long that will last. The freezer also stands next to an outside wall which probably doesn't help either. We've put a small fan in the ceiling access to see if it'll draw out some of the heat--helps a little. Anyone have any brilliant ideas on how to cool down the garage which in turn keeps the freezer cooler? |

With high ambient temperatures your freezer is certainly working harder and longer to maintain temperature inside the unit. That will shorten its lifespan. As for what to do about it? Have a basement or room in the house? If it is not already, you could insulate the garage but insulation only slows the transfer of heat. Ventilation will help but only when the outside temperature is below that of the garage. You'll also need a fairly large fan to make a significant difference. |
- Posted by lazypup (email@example.com) on Wed, Aug 29, 12 at 8:44
In a chest type freezer the evaporator coils (cooling coils) are right under the interior lining of the food cavity then there is a thick insulation layer and the condenser coils are wrapped around the outside of the insulation immediately under the exterior sheet metal skin of the freezer. The condenser coils are tight against the exterior skin and the skin acts as a heat sink to help dissipate the excess heat energy to the outside air surrounding the freezer. The heat your feeling is normal operation. |
- Posted by don_1_2006 (My Page) on Wed, Aug 29, 12 at 10:05
Keep the coils clean. |
Get a box fan and have it blow right on the sides of the freezer. It's all a matter of how fast you can transfer the heat. As long as the garage is cooler than the sides of the freezer it will help. 100 deg. is cooler than 120 deg. |
I would move it to an inside wall - as far away from the door and any windows as possible. I don't think a fan would do much but blow hot air. Maybe one of those attic type fans in your garage ceiling could help pull the hot air out of the garage. Plant trees/shrubs around the exterior to help keep it cooler |

Beautiful Glenda! I'm haven't done much weeding yet. I'm having a lot of trouble getting motivated this year. I think because there is so much to do. There are trees blooming everywhere now. Just noticed yesterday the Bradford pears in town are blooming and lots of magnolias. Not many flowers in my yard yet. My spicebush is blooming. I think this is the first year for it to bloom (unless I said that last year). lol |
I know what you mean Christie. I finally just start one area at a time....I am still not nearly finished. |
Good work, Glenda. I see your white shrub is blooming as far as the snow level in Feb. I wonder what damage we will see from this winter. The snow saved us, but I'll bet a lot of tops will need to be pruned. Glenda I think Ice Follies may be what I have; it is pretty and dependable and doesn't bend down. I have a favorite daffodil - I will take a picture. I don't know its name, but I would buy more if I knew it. My clove current is blooming so it is spring. Forsythia does not bloom for me. My mother had a hedge of it that bloomed every winter but she was on a hill and I am in a frost pocket valley. Weeding is overwhelming I am mostly weeding here and there as I walk around doing other things. I made a resolution to pull some weeds every time I walk by my walnut tree bed. I must have fertile soil there because the chickweed is so healthy there. |
I'm enjoying all your pics, Glenda. I love to see what everyone is doing. |

This e-volume documents the foreign policy of the Nixon-Ford administration toward South Asia, 1973–1976, and should be read in conjunction with Foreign Relations, 1969–1976, Volume E–7, Documents on South Asia, 1969–1972, and Foreign Relations, 1969–1976, Volume XI, South Asia Crisis, 1971 (GPO: Washington, March 2005; ISBN 0–16–072401–5). Both of these volumes document in depth the period of the Nixon administration, including the pivotal months of the India-Pakistan conflict of 1971 and its aftermath. Taken together, these three volumes provide comprehensive coverage of U.S. policy toward India, Pakistan, Afghanistan, and Bangladesh. In contrast with the previous volumes on South Asia during the Nixon administration, which were focused more tightly on the subcontinent's crises, volume E–8 also provides detailed coverage of the smaller South Asian states of Nepal, Bhutan, and Sri Lanka, and the Indian Ocean region, including the Republic of the Maldives. Read in conjunction with Foreign Relations, 1969–1976, Volume XXIV, 1969–1972 (GPO: forthcoming), this volume will also provide comprehensive coverage of U.S. Indian Ocean strategy during 1969-1976.

A new Philips iron has emerged and is made out of ceramic. Although ironing hasn't changed much in the last few decades, this one might break the mold.
The "Easy Ironing" concept focuses on the consumer by letting you decide how much ironing you want to do and the iron will tell you how much water to use. The Philips iron is also very easy to clean and is one of the top 25 finalists in this year's Philips Awards.

Say I have a few units in an activated area that also has enemy units. An adjacent area has just my units and is unactivated.
If I play an attack order naming the contested area as the target area and my friendly area as an origin, do the friendly units in the contested area participate in the battle if the contested area is activated?
My interpretation is 'yes they can' as the rule book says that it becomes an origin area automatically and that all units and heroes in the target area, attackers or defenders, become engaged automatically. There definately is room to argue otherwise, however.
What do people think?
Another one for the FAQ?

Tiger Woods PGA Tour 2007
Best golf game! Again!
One can only wonder how one can improve in what they are doing when they are the best. Take EA for example. Each year they dish out a golf game and each year it goes on to capture the hearts of Tiger fans all over the world. But when they are the best, how can they be better? Let's find out.
Tiger 07 maybe the best golf game you have ever played, yet. What they have done is add more of everything. It has more players, more courses, and a huge list of game modes that they have two menus just to display them all. The content in this game is so huge that you wonder what EA would do next year. There are loads of options to satisfy each and every die-hard golfers needs. If you feel the opposition is just too easy, you can adjust the difficulty slider for courses, opponents, and even your swing. This gives the experienced players the competition that they deserve while letting the amateurs have a slight edge too. In 07, the player can also choose the type of control that they want. Either the new dual analog system or the old left analog stick is available. PC users still have the mouse and keyboard combination but the choice of a controller is always available.
There are 21 golfers in total and 21 courses too including Bay Hill, K Club and many more. Tiger Woods is known for it's Game Face feature and it still continues to be the best create-a-face ever. After spending hours in making your character, you can play the Team Tour which consists of various challenges to improve your character's skills, unlock courses and equipment and a feature to assemble a team of four to take on Team Tiger. You can improve your teammate's skills also. In addition to Team Tour there are modes like Skins, Skills 18, One Ball, PGA Tour and many, many more.
Technically the game has not improved much. The graphics are good but they have been taken
from 2006's which have been taken from 2005's. The commentary is rock solid but you get the feeling that you have already heard the dialogues in the previous versions of the game.
While the single player mode is definitely huge, the online playability can add few more hours to the game too. Online tournaments held everyday by EA will definitely attract players and playing with a friend online can be fun too.
EA has done it again and will keep on doing their best for years to come. They have made the ultimate golf game that a person can have. But what about the competition? Well unless EA can come up with something unique than providing more of everything, there maybe other games that would provide similar interest. But for now, Tiger 07 is definitely recommended for all golf fans.
The Scorecard | |||||||
So many modes to keep you occupied till 08 arrives. |
Not much of an improvement over the previous games. | ||||
Good commentary and crowd noise but not a major improvement. |
If the single player doesn't keep you occupied, the online mode surely will. | ||||
Definitely good but needs a major breakthrough. |

Greg Combet and his Federal Labor colleagues have today demonstrated breathtaking ignorance at the Carbon Tax cost burden that is about to hit Tasmanian businesses.
The Minister for Climate Change told ABC 936 Radio this morning he would report to the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission a Southern Tasmanian garden nursery that was informing customers of coming price rises due to rising freight costs.
"Minister Combet's bully-boy response revealed how ignorant he and his Government are about the wide-spread effects of Labor's toxic Carbon Tax," Senator Richard Colbeck said on behalf of the Tasmanian Liberal Senate Team.
"Labors ignorance was later confirmed when I raised the issue in Senate Question Time today and both Senator Wong and Senator Cameron endorsed the Climate Change Minister's jackboot approach.
"Minister Combet has also demonstrated disturbing ignorance as to the daily realities of doing business in Tasmania.
"Instead of monstering a small business - one which the ACCC has confirmed is doing nothing wrong - Minister Combet should wake up and realise Tasmania is an island state with an economy that is inextricably reliant on sea and air freight links, and that freight costs are set to increase because of his government's toxic Carbon Tax.
"Freight companies have been warning Tasmanian customers since February that there will be higher charges from July 1, and the companies have clearly stated that one of the key reasons for this is the Carbon Tax. (letters attached)
"Even TT Line - a Tasmanian Government Business Enterprise - has advised freight customers of Carbon Tax-related increases from July 1.
"Labor can spin all they like, but the reality is that the Carbon Tax will drive up prices, cost jobs and do nothing for the environment and that's why the Federal Coalition is committed to scrapping it." Senator Colbeck said.

sooo tired of staff without ANY compassion or empathy!!! - page 2
Ugh, I need to vent!!! I've been a nurse for several years and I get tired and stressed out like everyone else. No, I'm not always thinking the nicest things, but I am ALWAYS kind to patients, no... Read More
5Mar 25, '13 by BiffbradfordThere are times though, when patients ARE on their lights too much. Their families tend to their every whim in day to day life, and now it's YOUR turn.
"Oh, straighten the wrinkle out of the lower corner of the pillow. Nooo ... the other side!"
"Okay, wait, don't go away .... give me a minute to see if that's okay."
Here's your Percocet, it's time for you go for a walk in the hall. When you get back, brush your teeth and sit in the chair for a FULL HOUR to do your coughing and deep breathing.
I know, that's not the case every time, but there are times when you need to lay down the law. It's your job to help them get better, and if it's a kick in the a** they need ... then that's what you give them.
When they've done their part, then I'll give them a back rub. Not before. -
3Mar 25, '13 by applewhiternWe have a problem with cell phone usage at my facility. They won't ban them, because they say a child might need to call, or some other emergency. Staff is on their phones constantly. It is unprofessional, and rude. There is no excuse for anyone having to wait one hour for a dilaudid refill. I would be knocking some heads over that.
0Mar 25, '13 by hudabelleI am not a nurse but I do work in a clinic (lab) and we have a room for EKG's, meaning people are, at most, half-dressed in there. I have a coworker who is always hot and demands the temp in that room be turned down (around 65F). I turn up the heat but my coworker always turns it way down. EKG's do not take more than a minute and the pts are freezing in there, I think she can handle it for a minute. She's young, and rather self-centered. I want to say it's not all about you but she doesn't care. Part of working with people who didn't have to earn their posotion I suppose.
5Mar 25, '13 by JDZ344Quote from hudabelleI work with fellow NA's and nurses who will open the window in a room mid winter because they don't want to smell the BM. (the patient at this point is uncovered and naked). REALLY gets on my nerves, and I will shut it again right away. I don't care if I have to smell an unpleasant smell for a few moments, it is unfair for a patient to be left shivering and naked for the comfort of a worker.I am not a nurse but I do work in a clinic (lab) and we have a room for EKG's, meaning people are, at most, half-dressed in there.

I could go on for so long with other examples. -
6Mar 25, '13 by ChristaMedeirosthis is going a little off topic, but one of the things that struck me is the nurses on their cell phones or messing around on the internet. SERIOUSLY?? I work on a med/surg floor, and there is absolutely no time for that. I am constantly in my patient's rooms, or right outside of them charting. I literally just walk back and forth between my rooms for the entire 12 hrs, checking in on my patients, and providing the necessary care/treatments/meds, etc. If you have time to be on your phone messing around, then you should be in a patients room, doing the little "extra" things, like providing them with education, or just having a regular conversation with them to make them feel like you care about them as a person and are interested in them, checking to see if they need something like a warm blanket, etc...or you could be researching things you feel like you need to brush up on in order to provide better/more knowledgable care. You are at WORK, this is not your time for social media. Patients are on the call light a whole lot less when you are in their rooms often and they have the confidence that you will be back "soon."
1Mar 25, '13 by pixelleQuote from crazy&cuteRNI'm not a nurse (yet), but this is one of the challenges I expect to come across. There are some who treat nursing as just a job, and patients are just a bed number. For those who have a little more empathy, just be the best nurse YOU can be. You can't be a superhero, but you can show a little more care. And hopefully some of your caring will rub off on your colleagues.OP, I feel the exact same way as you. Unfortunately I cannot control what others nurse do and how they respond to patients. I just continue to be the change I want to see. This is so nerve wrecking, though.CharlieChase likes this.
0Mar 25, '13 by SoldierNurse22, BSN, RN, EMT-BQuote from Msmedic68wClearly, you have never been my patient.*shrug* Eh, well dunno what to say about that. I'm in the military and most of the providers are cold, mean and generally act like they hate their job and the patients. Unless your guts are hanging out there is so sympathy. If you're in pain you're getting motrin and water.
In all honesty, I understand what you mean, though. I've seen that stuff go down. I am genuinely sorry this has been your experience. -
6Mar 26, '13 by ernurse87nervousnurse,
I completely agree with you. Sometimes I have to stop and say to myself "did my coworker really just say that?!" I recently had a patient code & pass away in the ER, and the wife was in so much shock she kept saying he was going to wake up and go home with her, it was so heartbreaking. The next day I was explaining the story to one of my coworkers, telling her I felt so bad for this woman, and all my coworker could say was "your too nice to sit there and keep explaining what happened, you just need to say he's dead and he's not coming back and you need to deal with it!"
I've been a nurse going on 4 years now, and I've come to understand that not everyone is there for the same reasons. Some nurses are there strictly just to make good money. Some are there because they fell in love with nursing and helping others. You want your coworkers to be there for the right reasons- to take care of others before themselves, to save lives man!, to bring a smile to someone's face. Unfortunately, it doesn't work that way. I'm with you- I wish the nurses who are self-centered and unsympathetic could just take a step back and see the big picture.
But, on the other side, there are some really kick ass nurses who are just burnt out from ungrateful and demanding patients. The food is too cold, or too hot. Or there isn't butter or salt. The pillows are too stiff,or too fluffy. The blankets are too thin, or too heavy. The list goes on and on. I don't mind doing anything for a patient, but the basic "please & thank you" really go a long way for me. I think sometimes we get sick of hearing everything we do wrong or everything that sucks, I think if we get some more apppreciation from time to time I think you'd see some of those nasty nurses having an attitude change.
In the end, be the kind of nurse you'd want to work with. Keep doing what you're doing, all that matters is our patients -
3Mar 26, '13 by KelRN215, BSN, RNQuote from KatieP86The windows in your hospital open? Hmm... I always thought hospitals had windows that didn't open for safety reasons, guess it's just my area.I work with fellow NA's and nurses who will open the window in a room mid winter because they don't want to smell the BM. (the patient at this point is uncovered and naked). REALLY gets on my nerves, and I will shut it again right away. I don't care if I have to smell an unpleasant smell for a few moments, it is unfair for a patient to be left shivering and naked for the comfort of a worker.
I could go on for so long with other examples.
Anyway, to address the OP's point- some people don't have any perspective. When I worked in the hospital, I was one of the few nurses who would take care of the patients that no one else wanted to touch. Some patients/parents were legitimately unreasonable (screaming that their kid with a migraine is the sickest kid on the floor when you're busy taking care of 3 children with cancer) but most of the time, if you stepped back and thought about it, you could understand where these people are coming from.
I also think we are all a little jaded. I really do forget sometimes that children having cancer is an anomaly and that even a "good" pediatric cancer diagnosis (those who live in the pediatric oncology world seem to view ALL as one of the "good" cancers because it can be cured the majority of the time) is completely devastating to all involved. In the case of ALL, even though the child will likely survive, they will still be on chemotherapy for 2-2 1/2 years and their lives will be completely changed. I realized how desensitized we often become to these kinds of things when I took a referral for a new patient last week... the patient is a school aged child with newly diagnosed stage IV neuroblastoma- a horrible cancer no matter what but in older children the prognosis is even worse. When the Case Manager called me to make the referral she made a comment about how the mom will need "extra support" because "she just keeps crying." I was like, um, HELLO... of course she's crying, she just found out her child has a fatal disease. And then when you actually read into this child's story- the mother kept bringing him saying something was wrong and was sent home multiple times before a scan was done that revealed metastatic cancer. So when you're told that your child is just constipated and then you find out that he actually is probably going to die, yeah, I'd say you'll cry. -
0Mar 26, '13 by emcadamsI have to admit, this is a big concern of mine as well. I am still in nursing school, but I have already seen how much time nurses truly have to spend with their patients. I love caring for people, but sometimes I can see that it is an impossible task. How can I tell a patient I have xyz other patients to see, and leave the room? I have seen some nurses do this, and it is sad. But I know where they are coming from. It is too bad we have an insurance focused care system, instead of a patient focused one.

I have to disable flash player to use this site. Otherwise, the pages are "in slow motion" and won't scroll right. I appreciate ads supporting our use of this free site but GW has the most intrusive ads I've ever seen (short of those that make 10 pages open that you can't close.) I don't appreciate the attachment of ads to words in posts. Cheesy. |
- Posted by plantomaniac08 8 (My Page) on Sun, Dec 15, 13 at 9:41
Rina, I don't have messages enabled, so I'm not experiencing ads while clicking in messages. However, every time I come to the forum list (doesn't matter which forum), the advertisement that's at the top of the page proceeds to "enlarge" itself right over the first five or so posts in the forum. It's usually Hallmark or someone "reputable," but I've accidentally not clicked on the "X" right and it took me to their website. Gah. Planto |
I hate ads with a burning passion of a thousand suns...... Rina, |

I haven't been here a while. Ads were annoying before but I can't believe the number of pop-ups there are now. Although they're a pain, are ads what keeps GW forum alive...the reason we get to talk for free? |
AdBlock plus. Add it to your browser. |

Hi Linda, Congratulations on baby Samantha (I'm also at Quilters Forum); may they be happy & healthy. I installed AdBlocker shortly after getting this laptop Fall '12 & I rarely have trouble opening any links or anything like that. I haven't regretted it. |
Firefox took care of the ad. I understand about ads supporting GW, but having to either wait (so many sec) for it to close or close it every time to be able to read anything on the forum is really annoying. |
Nor do I have any problems with ads or pop ups anymore. But if I did, the FIRST thing I would do is contact the administrators and tell them. These forums are not "guarded " and are more or less self monitored. It is not in the best interest of IVillage to use tactics that prevent the uninterrupted use of this website, believe me! If you see annoying ads such as described recently, the admin needs to know. Pop ups are your problem.....they can very easily be stopped by installing an ad block program of some sort. If you see overt spam....report it. If you see incidents of repeated bullying.....report it. Any advertising that has gone haywire needs to be reported, too. The only ads we should see will be along the top and riight side of the screen. Those are how GardenWeb is paid for. We should welcome those! |
