I recently bought a "TEXAS BLUE GIANT" fig, that is supposed to produce very large, dark-blue fruit. We'll see about that.
I also know that there are other "giant" varieties...e.g. "Patrick's Super Giant", Fannick's Blue Giant", "Jack's Quarter-Pounder" "Malcolm's Giant"...etc. Do these trees really produce "giant-size", teacup-filling figs? And if yes, are these breba-figs, or, main-crop figs? I'll bet, tasteless breba. (This last sentence was confirmed by a famous NJ grower/collector). My motto is 90% of everything is bull----, and figs are probably no different. So is this "giant" adjective, just another example of botanical hype, or, do these/can these varieties really produce super-large, main-crop figs? Just asking. Frank |
Follow-Up Postings:
Fewer figs on branch can also lead to bigger size figs. Mostly bigger figs are brebas with main crop smaller in fig size but crop is larger. Generally large figs are juicier & not as flavourful as the small ones. |
paully.... I had a gut-feeling that there were some specialized provisos regarding these "giant" figs. Basically then, it's the brebas that will be very large, with just a ho-hum, boring, main-crop. Very few posters on this forum have even mentioned, or written about these fig varieties, and that should've tipped me off as to the merit of growing one of these super-figs. If they were any good, I'm sure there would be plenty of members singing their praises! However, the silence is deafening. Herman said it best regarding these varieties:... nothing but a larger, "Brown Turkey", with little flavor. Thanks for the heads-up. Frank Not a glowing endorsement. |
Frank, there is more info over at Figs4Fun forum. We started with large figs. Now I focus more on small & medium size figs. Its the flavor we enjoy most. |

Patrick Malcolm started that notorious nursery in Georgia so those two are probably the same thing, and judged by the reputation are probably nothing. |
Smaller figs seem to perform better for our shorter summer season up north... |

Jack's Quarter-Pounder, Patrick's Super Giant and Malcom's Giant are all, in my opinion, the same fig as Brunswick, otherwise known as Magnolia. The brebas seem to be larger on the average than the main crop. However, the brebas, under the right conditions, are very tasty. Brunswick is a large fig, but I have to admit that I have never had one that filled a teacup! Fanick's Blue Giant is also a good tasting fig and bit larger than some varieties, but it would be a stretch to call any of the figs that I have had from my Blue Giant fig "giant". |
yes many figs with different names are the same . Some may take on a different appearance due to climate. I'll take a small fig over a large figs as they are better to me in taste. But everyone palate is different. Martin |
mountainman, dieseler, and other posters: Thanks for taking the time to explain a few things about the fig varieties that I have mentioned. Very interesting background facts, especially about the "Brunswick" variety. I appreciate your thoughts. That's why I posted this question. Frank, from the re-freezing Bronx, NYC |
Here is a giant Breba fig from My Atreano: I like it better than Brunswick and Brown Turkey in Breba Form,+ it makes much better Main crop,than, the 2 mentioned |
herman2: I don't believe what I am looking at!!!! I already have this variety, and have been growing it since 2007. I never let the Breba form, and I usually pinch them right off, so I have never seen what kind of Breba that this tree produces. I am amazed. If I let some Breba grow this season, will I still be able to ripen a main-crop by September? Thanks so much for the photo. I love "Atreano", and I went crazy looking for a "Texas Blue Giant" thinking that I was going to get a main-crop of "giant", blue/black figs, until I read that it's only the Breba crop that would/maybe be considered "giant"! If I knew "Atreano" makes a Brebs-fig this size, I would have saved my money! Live and learn. Good to see postings from you again. You, and a few other experienced growers, taught me everything I know about figs. I've had nothing but enjoyment from my trees, since 2007. That's when I bought my first trees. Frank, from The Bronx, NYC |
Hello Herman, Is that a 1/2 pint jelly jar? The figs look so good. Do the brebas taste any differently from the main crop? noss |
herman.... I was wondering about the flavor also. "Atreano" main-crop, are always sweet, and jammy... IF ripened properly. I've never let any breba develop in past years, and I would like to learn how to get these figs to ripen for maximum sweetness. How is this done? Should I just let them grow, and watch for the signs of ripeness, like skins starting to crack, necks looking like they will rip off plant?...etc. Should I also hold back on the watering to concentrate the sugars? The photo of that very large fig: ... Is this typical for an "Atreano" breba, or are they generally smaller? Is the other fig, that's cut in half, also a breba, or main-crop, shown for comparison? Thanks for the information. Very interesting revelation that took me by surprise. I learned something, again, from the Fig Forum. Frank |
Well ,. the other fruit seem smaller a little. They are both Breba. The Flavor and taste is very good but not as good as End of September main crop. I do not know how large a half a pint is,but I can tell you these jar are 10 ounces jars,possible what is called half pint. That breba fig in top of Jar was about 4 to 5 ounces. Also what is good about Atreano is that main crop are 3 ounces average and larger than the 2 mentioned above,+ super tasty and flavorful + it had zero die back this past Winter ,in ground,took 10 * F without any problem,so now is full of Breba and because is very early in Forming this year,I think it will ripe both crops just fine in 2012due to early staRT. fRANK:i AM SORRY,i CAN'T REALLY GIVE ADVICE FOR pOT GROWN FIG TREE,BECAUSE i WAS NEVER TOO GOOD IN GROWING IN POT. hOWEVER,i WOULD SAY THAT IN ORDER TO GET TOP TASTING FIG,THE CROP SHOULD BE THINNED TO WHAT THE PLANT CAN SUPPORT,THE PLANT SHOULD BE THINNED TO 3 TRUNKS ONLY,AND WATER SHOULD BE ONLY GIVEN AS FAR APART AS POSSIBLE AND ONLY AT MINIMUM WHILE THE FRUITS ARE GETTING RIPE. Also fertilizer should be kept to minimum,and Limestone powder at maximum. |
Herman.... Great to read your postings again! I always learn more useful information after reading your comments. You are one of the best teachers on this forum. I love the way my "Atreano" has performed for me, over the last 6 years. It has not failed me yet, and I also haven't gotten any die-back at all. In fact, I have to control the growth of this tree, because it's so vigorous. I pinch out some forming buds to thin out branching, and sometimes I have to cut some leaves off, so the sun can reach the fruit. Each year I get dozens of delicious figs, so many in fact, that sometimes I must thin out the figs, or they will smash into each other. The main-crop figs are usually very large, but have been becoming a little smaller each year. I think I waited too long to root-prune and re-pot the trees into fresh medium...but I root-pruned just last week, and also re-potted the trees into fresh medium...so I'll see how my trees grow this season. They have been in the same pots since 2007. I will give them some fresh, granular limestone also. Yes, I also cut back on the water as figs start to ripen. The figs fall off the tree, into my fingers, filled with thick, jammy, sugars. Just the best! I think I will let some Breba grow this season. This will be the first year that I allow Breba to form. I usually pinch them all off the trees, so main-crop figs form, and ripen quicker. I would love to grow some quarter-pound, Breba figs! I hope this turns out to be a very good fig-growing season. Thanks for the photos, information, and expert advice. Frank |
I grow Atreano and Deanna and they are similar in many ways but Deanna seems to get a little larger. I have potted some of my trees in 25gal pots. At the bottom I place mulch, then some dry caw droppings and then place my fig tree and fill up the rest with mulch and compost. This gives me organic juicy figs! Sal |
- Posted by leon_edmond z7NM (My Page) on Thu, May 3, 12 at 0:19
I no longer grow Deanna. You're right, slightly larger than Atreano but yellow in color, flatter shape and larger eye. My Atreano grows fast and produces more figs than my Deanna ever did. To me, Atreano has a better taste whereas Deanna was mediocre. But my conditions are different than yours'. I lost my in ground Deanna to a house move but as Herman has suggested, Atreano is a keeper fig. |
- Posted by mountainman0826 z8B TX (My Page) on Thu, May 3, 12 at 20:06
Although I have had several of Condit's cultivars (and still have some), the Condit trees have produced relatively few figs and have grown slowly. The figs that they did produce were mediocre in taste. Perhaps the slow growth of the Condit cultivars could be attributed to the widespread FMV in the UC Davis collection. However, most Mission trees have some mottling (as Condit noted) as a result of FMV, yet the Mission trees grow quickly. I agree that Atreano is a keeper. It is very sweet, has an excellent taste, is a medium to large fig and the tree grows quickly. |
I have tasted some Banana and Janice Seedless figs and they were really good. Also they do well in my hot and humid climate. I have been experimenting with several varieties and all do poorly in our sandy soil: they remain small and even with the addition of fertilizer, they refuse to grow. Since when I have been planting them in mulch with compost and cow dropping, they have grown over 5 feet in a year. At moment I have about 20 varieties and they are all doing great. |
Even though I started this thread, I forgot all about it until just now. Here follows, a brief update. This is my opinion, and experiences. My quest for great tasting, giant figs is over. I'm in the wrong climate for these kind of figs. I spent two years waiting for the "Texas Blue Giant" to prove itself, and it was one of the worse figs I ever grew. It might be a great variety for warmer climes with longer seasons, but for short season growers....save your money. The one or two figs that didn't suddenly abort, actually did ripen into dry, insipid corky figs, with barely a hint of sweetness. Absolute dreck. Swine food! These figs made "Brown Turkey" seem like a Gormet fig! Like I said, this variety might do just fine in the sunny, hot, Western States, and, in fairness to the variety, the catalogs do note these requirements, but I had to take that chance, and grew this variety in spite of warnings from experienced growers. Now, I know better. Lesson: Match a variety to your climate, and, forget the rest. You will still have many varieties to chose from, you'll be far more successful, and, you'll eat tasty, figs instead of wishing that your figs will ripen. Frank |
Good information, thanks for the update Frank. |
cis4elk: You are welcome. I try to be open and honest about my experiences, especially, when I fail. It may help others to avoid a disappointing mistake. The Bronx, NYC is not like the sun-drenched hills of California, nor like the dry, volcanic meadows of the Sicilian countryside. At my age, you would think I would know this! : ) Happy growing to all. Frank |
Frank, Have you ever grown Desert King? I'm going to guess NO based on what you have had said in this thread so far. I ask this because I guess it is mostly a breba fig unless you have the wasp, but the brebas are supposed to be great. Anyone else in zone 6 or below have luck w/DK? |
Desert King has ripe Breba the same time as Atreano,of the same quality,with Atreano being larger fruits. Atreano continue with main crop,without any time interval,and when they come they are 10 times mopre tasty than Desert King ,main crop. So ?Why grow Desert K,when Atreano is a much better cultivar. I would like to see people in the cooler Northwest growing Atreano,I bet they will never look back after Atreano start producing. |

Hello Frank, You did not fail, Frank. You experimented and proved that the experiences of others can be confirmed regarding this variety's requirements. Those are truly gigantic figs, but we enthusiasts know there is more to a fig than appearance. Your expererience will probably help many others in cold climates and will save people years of hoping and praying only to face certain disappointment. Thanks! And on the up-side, we all know that you have many other trees with other varieties. Tell us please: How many GOOD figs have you had this season, and how many more will probably ripen before the winter shuts it all down? Since you confirm that certain varieties are not made for cooler climates, her is a link to a variety made for cool climates: |
Herman, Thanks for the great input, now I have another change of plans. Much better than growing a tree for years only to find out I could have been growing something of higher quality better suited for my environment. Calvin |
Forum members.... Nice to read your comments...and very interesting to read the comments posted by herman2. Mismatching fig varieties can be a trap that we all fall in sooner or later. Location, location, location. I bought that "Texas Blue Giant" before I realized that I had such a short growing season. Now, I'm much more selective about the varieties that I grow. Currently I now have: Kathleen's Black * All trees marked with * are too small to produce figs, and are on "trial". The "Red Italian" is probably very much like "Hardy Chicago". This year has been not so good. The "Atreano" produced a large main-crop, yet some have still not ripened. Since 2007, this is the first year that this variety was a slight disappointment. However, I did a radical root-chop in early Spring, and I'm sure my trees were set back because of shock. The "Red Italian" made some very sweet little red-black figs, and this year it was my winner. With the good comes the bad...it can split in rainy weather if the roots get waterlogged. I grow figs because I want to eat delicious, ripe fruit...so, any variety that does poorly in my area will be culled...even if it has a famous name. I have been concentrating on some local, unknown varieties that have been grown for many decades by families in Brooklyn, and The Bronx. I have NEVER seen any evidence of FMV on any of these locally-grown, backyard trees, and few, if any, are protected. Sources for "clean" Atreano-Belleclare try: Zaino's Garden Center, Westbury, NY (Long Island) Hope this may help. Frank |
Frank, Thanks again for more good information. Zaino's doesn't ship, that would have just been too easy. I sent an email to Dalton at Durio today, we'll see what the news is there. I checked out Dan's blog, interesting, I'll have to keep an eye on certain aspects of that. Calvin |

Hi, Everyone: Has anyone purchased the giant The fruit looks so gigantic, it is hard to believe! If anyone has purchased the cuttings, please keep Fignewbies |

Hello Fignewbies, Frank in NYC had problems with giant figs due to a short growing season, and maybe just a difficult, bland variety. I see that you too are in a cold part of the world with a short growing season. Now, Frank is a master fig grower, so if he struggles with giant figs, perhaps it's not such a good idea. In addition, we are talking about Ebay here, so what you see might not be qhat you get. On the other hand, if the price is right, what the heck! If it works, we'll all want to give you money for cuttings in a few years, and if it fails, you'll learn so much about fig trees that your next variety will match your climate and reward you with lots of yummy figs. If cheap enough, I say, go for it. Additionally, please copy the link here so the rest of us can go to ebay and check it out. We might all go ahead and buy some, who knows! -Bud |

Hi, budbackeast and others: Pleasure to give you this link for the GIGANTIC http://www.ebay.ca/sch/i.html?MT_ID=17&crlp=3545318808_54&tt_encode=raw&keyword=ebay.ca&clk_rvr_id=400415193352&_nkw=fig+cuttings+&_trksid=p5197.c0.m627 I don't think I want to buy these cuttings, they are Thanks! |
Just checked this thread again...sorry for not adding any updated information. I see a few intrepid growers wanting to try these imported strains of "giant figs"...if you want to give it a shot....go for it. Maybe you will be (pleasantly) surprised. Then you can share your knowledge, and experiences with us. Now...."giant figs" from USA sources. Place your orders with a reputable dealer. Caveat emptor. You will need plenty of heat, dryish climate, and, over a long time, to ripen these giants properly. Think, Arizona...California weather. Good Luck! There are a lot of bogus figs out there and they are NOT the real, original strains. Sometimes they are mislabeled, but they could also be seed-grown varieties that will never give you decent fruit. There is good information that some bogus "Atreano" strains are out there, and these dogs are inferior to the Belleclare original stock. You'll waste your valuable time waiting for nothing. The real "Atreano" is a great, short-season fig, that will produce superior fruit...and without being temperamental. Durio Nursery has the real-"Atreano". There is a You-Tube video showing a leaf-stripping method for ripening figs: "How To Get the Figs On Your Trees To Ripen Faster". Please Note: The information shown is for growers in the sunny, hot, dry, long-season areas of the country. Stripping leaves will weaken trees. I wouldn't do it! Have fun with pushing the envelope. When you have success, we all benefit. The information that we all share is cutting-edge, and will not be found in magazine articles, nor, in textbooks...so, it's up to us. Be informed, and post your results...especially the failures. I'm learning new methods each season. Best regards, Frank |
- Posted by budbackeast FLORIDA (My Page) on Sun, Oct 21, 12 at 17:19
Hey Frank, If you have not already tossed the big, flavorless fig tree, why not offer cuttings to southern folk? In a hot, dry climate, set in the ground, this might be a great tree after all. We regularly hear about certain trees bringing poor results in fruit size, quantity and flavor, but sometimes it's just a situational failure. Just go and put a Florida country boy in the Bronx, and he'll do poorly too. Same idea with figs. Situational. |
Bud from the East.... Done....and, some cuttings even went back to a Texas grower, where this variety started. Ah...yes...the wrong situation syndrome. Now, I grow varieties that will...I hope...do well in the short seasons of the North-East. Good advice. Frank |

I am currently considering two different vinyl windows and I am interested in feedback on the two brands and models. I am considering the Alside Excalibur and the Great Lakes Seabrook.

Are the both quality windows? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. |

One of Hollywood's best-known bachelors, George Clooney, admitted that he's still single because he's still waiting for the love of his life.
"I haven't met her yet," Clooney told W magazine.
The 52-year-old leading man shared his first cinematic crush.
"When I was a kid, I was in love with Audrey Hepburn," Clooney told W. "I watched 'Roman Holiday' when I was 11, and I thought she was as elegant as anything I'd ever seen. And I fell madly in love with her. I also always loved Grace Kelly. I mean, when she comes out of the water in 'To Catch a Thief,' I thought, 'That's the most beautiful woman I've ever seen.'"
George Clooney Sounds Off on A-List Actors
Elsewhere in W's art issue, Clooney opened up to five premier female artists. When they asked him whether he talks while making love, he said, "only on the phone." He also said he'd like to die "before my friends."
The Oscar-winning actor revealed that he gets "depressingly homesick" when he spends too much time away from the friends and family who know him best.
George Clooney and Sandra Bullock's Son Bonded Over Hoops
"Home is where my friends and family are," Clooney told W. "I spend eight months a year in a one-bedroom hotel room in a city I probably wouldn't vacation in. … But no city… no space … fails to be a home if your family or friends can find a time to visit.
"I get desperately, depressingly homesick," he continued, "if I can't find a way to be near the people that bring joy wherever they go."

I have an heirloom tomato that a freind gave me. I am concerned that if it gets crossed with another variety I will not be able to grow it again next year.
I was told that if I only grow it by itself that it will always have seeds that will be true to the variety, and that seems to make sense. I was also told that I could grow it and hybrid tomato varieties in my garden together, because the pollen from the hybrids will not pollinate an heirloom. That does not make sense to me. Can anyone explain this to me? I just don't know that much about tomato genetics. Also how far from another variety will the heirloom need to be to prevent cross poolination? Thanks, garbird |

It certainly does not make sense that hybrids cannot cross with open pollinated (heirloom) tomatoes. They can. Any tomato can cross with any other tomato. They don't cross very often though because of their pollination mechanism. They are self pollinating and most do not get pollinated by insects, who are collecting pollen by shaking it out of the flower which encloses the anthers in most cases. Pollen does sometimes get transferred by insects however. So if you want to be certain, bag the blossoms with a little bag made of tulle. If you are willing to take the slight risk of cross pollination, just separate them from other tomatoes by planting them on opposite sides of some other crop. Jim |
garbird, Tomatoes are self pollinating. Insects, Bees and such can pollinate as well as they travel from blossom to blossom. Isolation from other tomato varieties be they Hybrid or Heirloom helps in prevention of cross pollination. The safest process is to bag the blossom before it opens and then tag it; after the tomato forms remove the bag and wait for the tomato to mature. The best of luck to you on growing your tomato! Gary |
Garbird: Your heirloom is "dehybridized," and as such, will render seeds that are true to the strain, if not X-pollinated. So we agree on that. Your intuitive comments are 100% correct. Absolutely those hybrid tomatoes can provide pollen that might get to your heirlooms, and that would ruin your seed stock...but would have no effect on the taste or nature of the tomatoes coming from your heirloom vine. Only the SEEDS are affected. (Just thought I'd throw that in, as the misconception has been voiced before.) And, given your astute intuition, you should see the logic of this. While the pollination gets the fruit to set and develop, the genetic specifics are relevant only to the resulting seeds, not flesh of the fruit. Of course, the fruit of the subsequent generation would be entirely affected by the genetic nature of the plant that produces the fruit. But, back to your original inquiry... As your plants develop, I suggest you closely examine the flowers of your plants. You should notice that your hybrids typically have flowers where the male part (anthers) completely envelope the female part (pistil and stigma). This virtually assures self-pollination, and pollination at a high rate. Hence the prolific yield of the typical Early Girl or Better Boy. The heirloom, ironically, has a long female part (pistil) which tends to encourage cross-pollination, so anatomy is working against your desire to favor self-pollination. (I suppose the term "OP" (Open Pollination) comes from this anatomical aspect, but I am only surmising that...no confirmation from authoritative writings.) So, once again, common sense should be considered. And, as expected, heirlooms tend to have low yields...in my opinion, because the anthers of these flowers are often unable to "get to" the stigmas, which ride high and above the anthers. So I manually pollinate them. But I never collect my own seeds this way. I just want to eat the fruit! Again, trust your senses. If pollen from a different tomato variety might pollinate your heirloom, then the seed is junk. And I suppose that pollen from a different plant that is the SAME varietal should be OK...but I have never read that anywhere. I suppose I reserve the right to trust my common sense, too. |
Bees can cross tomatoes, although the degree of crossing varies widely. Tomato flowers are not a major source of pollen or nectar, so if better sources are available, the chances of crossing are reduced. The use of isolation space, and growing flowers or flowering vegetables as "barrier crops" between different varieties, can be helpful. Using this technique with 30 feet between varieties, I have yet to find a cross. If you were to grow the heirloom on the other side of your yard, or in large pots elsewhere, chances are high that the seed would be reasonably pure. If the heirloom is irreplaceable, however, "reasonably pure" may not be good enough. In that case, the blossom bagging suggested by several posters is the best option. |

Benton County Sheriff Asking For Public's Help In Thefts and Burglary
Benton County Sheriff Brad Bennett is looking for the public's help with a recent theft of 60 stolen wheels and tires from Luther Honda of St. Cloud.
Investigators learned the theft occurred during the overnight hours of November 15 at the Honda dealership, located in Sauk Rapids. The five spoke, 16, 17, and 18-inch wheels and tires were taken from 15 Honda vehicles parked in the lot.
The Sheriff is also asking for the public's help on a burglary from Mimbach Fleet Supply in Sauk Rapids.
On October 13 a snowmobile trailer, a pull-behind lawn mower and lawn vacuum attachment were all taken from an outdoor fenced in area.
Authorities did recover surveillance footage from the scene.
The truck is described as a dark colored, new model pickup truck. The pickup had a matching topper along with chrome running boards. The truck also had light colored fender flares and a thin pin stripe running the length of the truck.
Investigators say two men gained entry to the fenced-in area of Mimbach Fleet Supply by cutting the gate lock, then drove off with the stolen items.

It wasn't the National Guard or a military operation that left a tank in the middle of the road in the Warehouse District on Monday night.
The tank, which belongs to the National World War II Museum, stalled out at the intersection of Calliope and Annunciation streets. The fuel pump went out on the tank and left it idle in the street.
Luckily, the museum had a spare fuel pump for the 32-ton and over 70-year-old tank and was able to get the machine back into the museum.

Bolton Wanderers soccer player Fabrice Muamba was discharged from the hospital today, a month after his heart stopped for more than an hour during an F.A. Cup quarterfinal.
Muamba thanked staff members who had treated him at London Chest Hospital and said he will "forever be in their debt," according to a statement on Bolton's website. A photograph on the website showed Muamba, dressed in a gray tracksuit and white sneakers, grinning and shaking hands with two doctors.
"I also wish to say thank you to all the many well-wishers who have sent thousands of messages of support," Muamba told the website.
He said he looked forward to continuing his recovery and spending "precious time" with his family.
Muamba, a 24-year-old midfielder, has been in the hospital since collapsing on the field during the televised quarterfinal at Tottenham on March 17. He is in his fourth season with Bolton.
Piermario Morosini, a 25-year-old midfielder on loan at the Italian soccer club Livorno from Udinese, died on April 14 after suffering a cardiac arrest during a match against Pescara.
The Italian soccer federation suspended all the weekend's remaining matches because of his death.

"Everyone was screaming to make sure we were all OK," Magana said.
Dozens of homes in the same neighborhood sustained significant damage. Roofers were going door-to-door, offering free temporary repairs. Insurance adjusters arrived in trucks to help their clients. Neighbors helped each other pull trees from roofs and pick up metal pieces, glass and splintered limbs from yards.
"It's crazy — like something you'd see in a movie," 27-year-old Tim Kreitler said as he helped a neighbor clean up.
St. Louis Mayor Francis Slay and the airport's director, Rhonda Hamm-Niebruegge, told reporters Saturday that the airport could reopen Sunday at 70 percent capacity, depending on the quickness in getting power restored and the ability of affected airlines to shuffle some of their terminal arrangements.
Ameren Missouri reported some 35,000 customers were without power Saturday morning.
The National Weather Service confirmed a tornado had it the airport, ripping away a large section of the main terminal's roof.

After a high-stakes, eight-year battle, Piedmont Medical Center has again won approval to build a hospital in Fort Mill, S.C. The ruling comes as a setback to Charlotte-based Carolinas HealthCare System, which had previously gotten the OK to build a hospital there.
The ruling released Tuesday was the second reversal in a case that dates back to 2006. First, Piedmont Medical Center got state approval to build in Fort Mill. After appeals, the state approval went to Carolinas HealthCare in 2011.
In the latest ruling, South Carolina Administrative Law Judge Phillip Lenski overturned the 2011 decision and gave the coveted project back to the Rock Hill hospital.
While Piedmont Medical officials celebrated the news, Carolinas HealthCare expressed surprise and disappointment. We plan to review the full findings from the court and make a decision in the near future on what remedies are available and what our next steps are, a Carolinas HealthCare statement said.
Much is at stake. Piedmont Medical, owned by the for-profit Tenet Healthcare Corp., declares it will lose millions if the Charlotte titan wins. And Carolinas HealthCare, Charlottes largest employer and one of the largest public nonprofit hospital systems in the country, seeks to expand its base of patients who can be referred to its other area hospitals.
After Tuesdays announcement, Bill Masterton, Piedmont Medicals chief executive officer, said the new hospital could be opened by 2018. Plans are to build a 100-bed, $120 million hospital at S.C. 160 West and U.S. 21 in Fort Mill, not far from Baxter Village, the housing community often cited as an example of York Countys booming growth.
Masterton will also serve as CEO of the Fort Mill hospital, which will take 36 beds from Piedmont Medical and will offer an emergency room, comprehensive womens health services, advanced cardiac services and an intensive care unit. It would create about 400 jobs.
We celebrate today with the community of Fort Mill as they are one step closer to getting the high-quality hospital that they have deserved for years, Masterton said in the press release.
Tuesdays announcement was just the latest in many twists during the contest to build a Fort Mill hospital.
In 2006, Piedmont Medical won the certificate of need from from the states Department of Health and Environmental Control to build the hospital. But Carolinas HealthCare and Novant Health, which had also applied for the CON, appealed. And a judge later ordered state regulators to reopen applications, essentially restarting the process.
Carolinas HealthCare won that round in 2011, when DHEC ruled that its proposal best complied with the states health plan. The proposed 64-bed, $77.5 million facility would have been built on land west of Sutton Road near Interstate 77.
Both Piedmont and Novant appealed that decision to the South Carolina Administrative Law Court, but Novant withdrew last spring. Over four weeks in April and May, Lenski heard attorneys for Piedmont argue that a Carolinas HealthCare hospital would financially harm Piedmont Medical Center and York County physicians. They noted that adverse economic impact is one of the factors DHEC can consider.
Piedmont attorneys said losing patients to Carolinas HealthCare over the years has changed the mix of payers, with Piedmont seeing an increase in the number of people insured by Medicare, Medicaid or having no insurance. If that trend of losing patients and revenue to Carolinas HealthCare continues, Piedmont will see a slow death, former CEO Charlie Miller testified.
Carolinas HealthCare attorneys said their hospital would not economically harm Piedmont because northern York County residents are already getting their health care from Carolinas Medical Center and CMC-Pineville. Carolinas HealthCare officials estimated they are already serving more than 50 percent of the patients in the Fort Mill-Tega Cay area. Don Worthington of The (Rock Hill) Herald contributed.

The episode opens with Arawn descending a set of stair towards Rianon and Arthur running towards them with his sword in hand. Arthur pauses for a moment, and Drwc shouts how dare he disrupt the ceremony. Arthur announces that he is the first warrior of Gael and that he's here to rescue his sister. He reveals that according to Gael custom, whoever marries Riannon becomes the next chief of Gael—thus Riannon's kidnapping puts the bloodline at risk. Arthur threatens to kill Drwc if Riannon is not returned safely. Drwc scoffs at the threat and encourages Arthur to attack him.
Riannon, still in a trance, turns to Arawn and says that she is his loyal servant; she will love and be obedient only to him for all eternity. Arawn looks deeply into Riannon's eyes and enters her mind or soul (not certain which). Riannon is trapped by some sort of strange looking flower. She hears a voice telling her to open her eyes. She asks who the voice is and learns that it is Arawn. She asks where he eyes, and he says that he is right in front of her. She replies that she lost her sight from the moment she revealed her true name. After some discussion, Arawn finally convinces Riannon to open her eyes by offering to share his senses of sight and hearing with her.
She finally sees what is happening in front of her: her brother threatening to kill Drwc. Arawn states that as long as she is under Drwc's control, she and her brother will be killed. She tells Arawn to tell her brother on her behalf to leave because she revealed her true name and as a result, is not worthy of being rescued by him and her people. Arawn asks why she thinks and says such things. Riannon then sees a red liquid dripping off of Arawn's hand. She realizes that she is connected to Arawn and is seeing his heart. She feels his rage and sorrow; she realizes the drops of red liquid are tears of blood. She wonders at his concern. She feels her heart begin to beat wildly and is released from her prison. She opens her eyes to find herself floating towards a light. She comes out of the trance, but before she can say anything Arawn covers her mouth.
Drwc turns to Arawn and tells him to feel free to devour the sacrifice. Arawn draws his sword, stabs Drwc, and calls him a coward. Drwc dies and his minions flee. Riannon embraces her brother. Arthur then attempts to kill Arawn. Riannon tries to defend Arawn by informing Arthur that Arawn is her savior. Arthur refuses to listen and initiates a fierce battle with Arawn. Riannon intervenes again; this time she says if Arthur insists on killing him, she will become Arawn's bride. She wraps around his shoulders her red cape. Arthur is shocked and appalled; the red cape is the mark of the chief of Gael. He tries to argue against it, but Riannon reminds him that Gaels are people of the covenant; as first warrior, Arthur should be upholding. Arawn makes a snide comment that he was not asked his opinion on the matter. Arthur and Riannon continue to argue.
Arawn interrupts the squabble between the siblings and points their attention to the approaching army of undead warriors. Arawn asks if Arthur will fight with him or against him. Arthur admits he has no choice and together the plow through the army of skeletons with Riannon in tow. They reach a dead end created by an avalanche earlier. They meet an old man named Ogam who knows Arawn in addition to Arthur. He leads them to an alternate escape route. Before the reach the exit, the group is surrounded by the undead warriors. The group successfully fights through the monsters and escape the cave. Outside they meet with the group of warriors Arthur originally came with. They express concern that the Divine Empire upon hearing about the events will wage war on the Gael tribe. Arthur rallies the people of Gael together to fight and defeat the Divine Empire.
The overlord, Lord Gaius, eventually learns of the events. He considers the notion of meeting with the Demon King. His first priority is to deal with the Gael tribe. The episode ends with his decision to kill the entire tribe. He orders one of his knights, Dekmus, to prepare the ships to set sail for Erin Island (home of the Gaels).

not to miss rides busch gardens
This is our first trip to Busch Gardens. Will be me and hubby and 8 and 10 yr olds. We will spend one day there. What are rides/shows/animal exhibits not to miss and ones to skip.
We will be taking a shuttle so may not get there till late so would like to plan on doing the must do items first. I would like to bring a bag to carry drinks and camera, sunscreen etc. If you bring a bag, where can you leave it when you go on the ride? Should i bring my nikon camera? Do they allow you to bring snacks in the park. I know parks say no, but not all enforce this and would like to save some money if can. thanks for any feedback. |

I would say when you get inside, break to the right and go to Cheetah Hunt first thing. It is very popular, and is the newest ride, definitely a must do for this park. I am assuming your group likes coasters? The next you'll get to on this path is Montu, which is a suspended coaster, in Egypt area. We like the "kiddie" coaster in Timbuktu, it is a bit rough, though, KINDA like Primevil Whirl at AK, though not as good. Also is the Scorpion in Timbuktu, this is a good coaster, with one loop, and no shoulder restraints. Next would be Kumba, and Sheikra. There are definitely some other good rides that are not coasters, too, including a couple in Timbuktu; one is similiar to a scrambler type ride, the other is a big boat ride, but this one actually does go all the way over, upside down. There are a couple play areas, Jungala which has a sky wire ride, a small drop tower, and HUGE rope play area as well as a water area. The second is Sesame, most of the rides here are too young for my kids, but they still enjoy playing a while in the treetops. Finally Gwazi, a wooden roller coaster. This is supposed to use some technology to make it less rough, it still threw me around pretty bad. You can bring in a bag, and there are lockers for a few rides, they generally cost 50 cents per locker, and are like the lockers at the mall/bus stations, etc with the key on a wristband. I believe I have heard that you can get away with bringing SOME snacks in, but haven't ever tried, as we have always done the all day dining deal, it is $30 per adult (over 9) but you get an entree platter, side or dessert, and drink ever time you go through at nearly every counter service restaurant in the park, and very few things are excluded. We usually arrive in time to eat breakfast at Zagora Cafe, usually like a breakfast burrito and fruit or pastry and drink, lunch at the BBQ place (love the bbq roasted chicken platter [only excludes baby back ribs and the big rib sampler as it also has baby backs on it, you can have anything else on the menu] which comes with fries, then get dessert and drink), and dinner frequently at the pizza/pasta buffet (all you can eat pizza/pasta/salad/dessert pizza/pudding). Plus in between we will stop 2 or 3 times for a snack (side item, maybe some fruit or a brownie, etc) and drinks, and maybe an additional time or two for an extra bottle of water. But if not that, you can buy a refillable drink cup and refill all day for low price, I think it is like $.80 each, and I am told that the souvenir popcorn bucket is also refillable for the same price.

String interning
This article relies largely or entirely upon a single source. (February 2012) |
In computer science, string interning is a method of storing only one copy of each distinct string value, which must be immutable. Interning strings makes some string processing tasks more time- or space-efficient at the cost of requiring more time when the string is created or interned. The distinct values are stored in a string intern pool.
The single copy of each string is called its 'intern' and is typically looked up by a method of the string class, for example String.intern()
in Java. All compile-time constant strings in Java are automatically interned using this method.[1]
String interning is supported by some modern object-oriented programming languages, including Python, Lua, Ruby (with its symbols), Java and .NET languages. Lisp, Scheme, and Smalltalk are among the languages with a symbol type that are basically interned strings. The library of the Standard ML of New Jersey contains an atom type that does the same thing. Objective-C's selectors, which are mainly used as method names, are interned strings. .NET languages, Lua and JavaScript string values are immutable and interned.[2][3]
Objects other than strings can be interned. For example, in Java, when primitive values are boxed into a wrapper object, certain values (any boolean
, any byte
, any char
from 0 to 127, and any short
or int
between −128 and 127) are interned, and any two boxing conversions of one of these values are guaranteed to result in the same object.[4]
Lisp introduced the notion of interned strings for its symbols. Historically, the data structure used as a string intern pool was called an 'oblist' (when it was implemented as a linked list) or an 'obarray' (when it was implemented as an array).
Modern Lisp dialects typically distinguish symbols from strings; interning a given string returns an existing symbol or creates a new one, whose name is that string. Symbols often have additional properties that strings do not (such as storage for associated values, or namespacing): the distinction is also useful to prevent accidentally comparing an interned string with a not-necessarily-interned string, which could lead to intermittent failures depending on usage patterns.
String interning speeds up string comparisons, which are sometimes a performance bottleneck in applications (such as compilers and dynamic programming language runtimes) that rely heavily on hash tables with string keys. Without interning, checking that two different strings are equal involves examining every character of both strings (in the case where the strings are equal - when they differ the character comparison only has to proceed to the point at which either different characters are found, or to the end of the shortest string). This is slow for several reasons: it is inherently O(n) in the length of the strings; it typically requires reads from several regions of memory, which take time; and the reads fill up the processor cache, meaning there is less cache available for other needs. With interned strings, a simple object identity test suffices after the original intern operation; this is typically implemented as a pointer equality test, normally just a single machine instruction with no memory reference at all.
String interning also reduces memory usage if there are many instances of the same string value; for instance, it is read from a network or from storage. Such strings may include magic numbers or network protocol information. For example, XML parsers may intern names of tags and attributes to save memory. Network transfer of objects over Java RMI serialization object streams can transfer strings that are interned more efficiently, as the String object's handle is used in place of duplicate objects upon serialization.[5]

How Cavs Turned It Around
After a bumpy start to the season, the Cavs have hit their stride. What changed? We ask David Thorpe. THTV: Thorpe on Cavs BIG Number: Rondo hurts Mavs? Home-court disadvantage?
AP Photo/Mark J. TerrillAt its core, position is merely a reflection of a player's role within the concept of a team. In that way, position is not necessarily indicative of how well a player plays … but how a player plays. To put it another way: a 3-point shooter is a 3-point shooter by way of attempts (which reflect utilization and role), not makes. James Jones and DeShawn Stevenson play similar roles, and in terms of positionality, the fact that one shoots 42 percent from beyond the arc and the other 26 percent is absolutely inconsequential.
Coach postseason experience is defined as the number of postseason games coached as a head coach ... Chemistry then is defined as the number of years the five players playing the most minutes during the regular season have been on their current team with one another.
First, the most common criticism is of the experience of younger teams and this study does not support this conclusion, regardless of whether their NBA experience or playoff experience is the top of discussion. Second, the number of years of experience a coach has in the NBA is an irrelevant figure. It is a coach's playoff experience, not the length of their NBA coaching career, which is relevant to winning in the postseason. Finally, it suggests that what should be assigned more attention is the value associated with keeping teammates together.
Thank you to Jason Sada of Axon, Isaiah Kacyvenski and Ben Schlatka of mc10 and Richard Dry of Edge10 for their insights.
According to their research, rebounds collected within two feet of the basket have a 40 percent chance of being an offensive rebound. The percentage chance that the rebound will be offensive drops down to 22 percent between 2 and 10 feet from the basket. Once the ball moves farther outside that range, however, the chance that the rebound will be offensive starts to rise back up, passing the 40 percent plateau again when the ball gets 22 to 26 feet from the basket upon being officially rebounded. As detailed by the researchers, this generally aligns with the expectation that most offensive rebounds are grabbed very close to the hoop (such as tip-ins) or are long rebounds.
Predictably, shots extremely close to the basket, those from two feet and closer, stood the highest percentage chance of being turned into an offensive rebound. That percentage mostly declined the farther away from the basket the shot attempt came from, but it took a jump back up once the shot location passed the 3-point line. According to the research paper:
"We note that there is a "U"-like affect [sic] when looking at offensive rebound rates as a function of shot distance. This is very similar to the effective field goal percentage as a function of shot distance. This result implies that mid-range shots are even worse than previously characterized due to their effects on offensive rebound rates. Strategically, teams have even more reason to eschew mid-range shots for shots closer to the basket or three-pointers."
This research paper's contention that shot location was an extremely important factor in the probability of grabbing an offensive rebound dovetails nicely with the crux of the Court Vision: New Visual and Spatial Analytics for the NBA research paper. Researcher Kirk Goldsberry is at the forefront of a movement to identify which NBA players are the most effective shooters from specific places on the floor, as well as those who are the most effective shooters from the highest quantity of locations on the floor. While some Web sites and metrics track shot location by simple distance from the basket, Goldsberry's study tracks the exact location of the attempt by using the spatially identified {x, y} coordinates from which the attempt came.
Goldsberry contends that field goal percentage (FG%) is not the best measure of who the best shooters in the NBA are. This is not really all that surprising a contention. Tyson Chandler leads the NBA in FG%, but you probably couldn't find anyone who thinks he's the best shooter in the NBA. Big men, and centers in particular, take a much higher percentage of their shots from closer to the basket, so their FG% is likely to be higher than a guard or wing player who shoots from all over the court. Close shots are easy to make. By mapping over 700,000 field goal attempts for every NBA game played between 2006 and 2011, Goldsberry was able to quantify shooting range in a different way.
By dividing the most common shot locations into 1,284 "cells," Goldsberry created a metric called "Spread%." Spread% is a measure of how many of those 1,284 cells a player has attempted at least one shot from. This, of course, helps explain why no one would consider Chandler the best shooter in the league. His Spread% is much lower than someone like Ray Allen, who takes shots from many more locations on the floor. Allen's shots typically come from locations where the shots are considerably harder to make, and, if he's behind the 3-point line, worth an extra point. To illustrate this disparity, Goldsberry did a graphical comparison of the Spread% for Allen and Al Jefferson.
Using that Spread% data, Goldsberry went even deeper and created another metric called "Range%." Range% is the percentage of locations on those 1,284 cells where a player averages more than one point per attempt (PPA). The leaders in this metric were an unsurprising mix of guards, wings and a forward. Steve Nash led the way with a 31.6 Range%, followed closely by Ray Allen at 30.1%, Kobe Bryant at 29.8% and Dirk Nowitzki at 29.0%.
By quantifying how many locations on the court a player is an effective shooter from and just how effective he is from those locations, these measures of shooting prowess can give us a better idea of who the best shooters in the NBA really are.
While these metrics are new, exciting and on the cutting edge of basketball analytics, they are barely scratching the surface of what we may eventually be able to quantify and evaluate through spatial analysis. How much ground does Dwight Howard cover when he defends a pick-and-roll? By how much does LeBron James' FG% drop (or rise) when he shoots a fade-away rather than going straight up? Which NBA teams have the best and most efficient floor spacing on offense? These are all things that researchers, analysts, writers, general managers, coaches and fans are going to be able to track sometime in the near future.

The temperature generally doesn't go over 70 degrees even at the height of summer on this volcanic archipelago, and tops out around 60 from January through April. Be prepared for the occasional shower, followed by a burst of sunshine.
Best bang for your buck: Both the season's modest fares and a favorable exchange rate (Portugal's currency is the euro, which is at a two-year low against the dollar) are reflected in the air and hotel packages offered by SATA Airlines' Azores Express Tours: for example, $649 per person for six nights at a country inn on São Miguel Island, including round-trip air from Boston. São Miguel is a favorite among nature lovers, with paths leading up its windblown hillsides to crater lakes with ocean views. You can also tour the only two tea plantations in Europe. If you'd rather see Lisbon's cobbled streets than the Azores' fishing villages, six-night air and hotel packages to the capital start at $1,039 per person.
