Savory Roasted Pumpkin with Beef Short Ribs
Posted By Worker Bee On October 22, 2011 @ 8:00 am In Recipes | 47 Comments
When bright orange, eye-catching displays of oddly shaped pumpkins take over the entrance of markets, don't walk on by thinking that pumpkin only belongs in two places: baked into a pie or set on the porch with a candle stuck inside. Pumpkin is a seasonal pleasure to be indulged in, not only because it has a delicious mild, sweet flavor but also because it's loaded with antioxidants, beta-carotene, vitamins C and E and potassium.
Pumpkins can be stored at room temperature for weeks and sometimes months, so they can do double-duty as a decoration until it's time for a veggie slaughter. For eating, choose smaller pumpkins (4 pounds or less) since they have better flavor and texture. Just because pumpkins have a sweet flavor, don't think they have to be served sweet – a sprinkle of sea salt, garlic, fresh herbs, cumin, paprika and other spices all turn pumpkin into a savory vegetable. A coating of butter [7], olive oil [8] or animal fat [9] will coax the texture into being creamy, rather than stringy, and a side of beef or pork turns pumpkin into the perfect autumn meal.
To cook a pumpkin [10], first wash the outside then slice the top off to remove the stem, as you would for a jack-o-lantern. This makes it easier to cut the pumpkin in half. Once the pumpkin is halved, scrape out the seeds [11] and pulp with a spoon. Roasting a pumpkin will bring out the most flavor and takes around an hour or so, depending on the size. Generously coat the pumpkin flesh in some sort of fat, season the pumpkin as you wish and then cook uncovered until soft and a bit browned.
In this recipe for Roasted Pumpkin with Beef Short Ribs the pumpkin takes less time to cook than the meat, so they're roasted separately. Cooked pumpkin soaks up sauce and flavor quickly, so once you combine it with the meat, the two taste as if they've been together all along.
Preheat the oven to 375° F.
In a large, heavy-bottomed skillet or Dutch oven, heat a few tablespoons of fat/oil/butter over high heat. Season the short ribs lightly with salt and pepper and cook about 10 minutes, turning so the meat browns on all sides.
Remove the short ribs and set aside. Turn the heat down to medium and add the onion and garlic to the pan and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in the red wine, tomatoes and beef stock and make sure to scrape the bottom of the pan so the browned bits stuck on the bottom mix in. Return the short ribs to the pot and bring the liquid a boil.
Slice the top off the pumpkin to remove the stem then cut the pumpkin in half. Scrape out the seeds and pulp. You can cook the pumpkin as two halves, or cut it into smaller pieces. Drizzle generously with olive oil, butter or animal fat and season with salt and pepper. Place the pumpkin in a rimmed baking pan.
Cover with meat with aluminum foil or a lid and place in the oven. Cook for 2 hours, or until the meat is very tender.
Keep the pumpkin uncovered and cook for at least 45 minutes and up to and hour and half, checking periodically. Take the pumpkin out when it is soft and a little browned around the edges.
Before serving the meat, garnish with chopped parsley and spoon over the top of the pumpkin.

Hi All, It's nice to meet you. I've been reading many of your posts for a while, and finally registered myself to ask a question and see what your opinions are. My husband and I are remodeling our home (first home, first remodel), and are trying to make some decisions on appliances. We want a modern aesthetic, good performance, but we don't want to spend too much. We use the range daily and oven a few times a week. We have narrowed our choices down to 3 "suites" if you will: Suite 1: Suite 2: Suite 3/ thermador offer: Additionally we would like to buy a under the counter wine fridge/ beverage center. Who out there has used these products? What have your experiences been? Your anecdotes would be useful! -RR |
Follow-Up Postings:
Playing devil's advocate... Are you sure all of this isn't totally overdoing it for one's first home? |
Are you going to stay in this home long? Where do you place $$$ in your decision ? Suite 3 is a LOT more money ! And, not necessarily better, especially when Value is considered. I wouldn't touch a KA oven with a ten foot pole. And, after how they treated everyone that had trouble with the last generation ones failing to work after a self clean cycle - I'd be leery of doing business with them on any level ! I wouldn't get the Thermador rangetops either. To achieve simmer they cycle on and off and the click is annoying to me. It's also a waaaaaay to complex solution to a problem that doesn't exist on any other manufacturer's product. We have also seen too many service calls on their ovens in the first year too. As for the wine unit - get what fits your budget and eye for style. None of them are what you need for storing a collection or aging wines, so you are getting one for snob appeal and maintaining drinking temperature in the short term. |
I touch a Kitchenaid oven with my hands, almost every day, no need for a pole of any length. :) It is nearly 8 years old, and supposedly from the era with the self clean issue. I've had absolutely no problems and it cooks great. At one of my rental properties, I have another KitchenAid double wall oven. Once the tenant ran self clean, it stopped working. I went and checked it out and replaced the part. It was a very quick and easy job. Then I talked to my appliance tech friend about it, since I didn't want it to happen again. Turns out Whirlpool had a service bulletin on it. He forwarded it to me, and I followed the instructions. Boom, no problems 5 years and many self clean cycles later. Now, if I'd called the Whirlpool consumer support line? Yeah chances are I would have just ended up talking to a clueless underpaid rep. But I've found inconsistent service to be an issue with most companies of that size... if you really want excellent customer support, you're going to have to spend extra on the niche brands/smaller companies. And even their customers' experiences have varied. |

From your list, I'd pick the Bosch double ovens, the Kitchen Aid fridge, and then flip a coin over the Bosch and Kitchen Aid dishwashers. The Bosch DW is probably smaller on the inside and uses convective(?) drying. The KA has heated drying. Whichever, bring your dishes and pans to the store and see which one fits best. |
"I went and checked it out and replaced the part. It was a very quick and easy job. " yea - if you consider pulling out the unit and opening up the oven body and working around high amperage 220volt power easy . 99% of consumers won't agree with you. Further, Whirlpool and KA still maintain officially that there is not a problem with those ovens, and that TSB took a looooooooong time to manifest itself. I don't consider a 50% failure rate (your experience) too reassuring . Given whirlpool's attitude, their price and no compelling features, or aesthetic edge - these ovens don't represent a good bet in the marketplace. And what if you don't have a "tech friend" to lean on for advice ? If you want a cabinet panel on your dishwasher , the Bosch is the way to go. The KA stinks for doing that, It CAN be done, but is a royal PIA. |
I have a Bertazzoni range highly recommend their gas burners -Love my range! Had a top of the line KA dishwasher and hated it. Had many service calls and it never did a good job from Day 1. Finally ditched it after about 5 years of washing dishes through 2 or three cycles or by hand. Sounds like a dream kitchen. I disagree that it's $ overkill for a first home - imo if you can make it work financially, now is the time to invest. I limped along with my original kitchen for all the busy parenting years (replacing and repairing mediocre appliances as they failed) Today with fewer reasons to cook for crowds, kids are off to college, etc., we are finally doing a reno and appliance overhaul - 25 years after buying my first home! Invest now for years of quality use! Enjoy! |
Pulling out the oven was the hard part, but doable. And of course I turned the breaker off first, so I didn't have to worry about working around 220v power. And yeah, it seems like you can get more oven for your money with brands other than KitchenAid. The only reason I bought it for my own house was because I wanted the steam assist (which btw is great). I wasn't recommending that the OP choose KA over other brands, just saying the problem has been fixed for a while now. |

As I reported in my OP, the hummus made following Ann's recipe with a few tips from Lars turned out wonderfully. Only problem is, I have way too much of it leftover. Can it be frozen?

Follow-Up Postings:
Probably.....but it will keep a week.....eat it! On celery it's a healthy snack! |
Lisa, I've never had any leftover to freeze, but I don't see any reason you couldn't. Snack? For me it's lunch, probably why I never have any left over. (grin) Merry Christmas to you and the kids. Annie |

Gold is a precious metal that serves many purposes. In the world of investing, it is used to hedge against inflation, uncertainty, and currency devaluation. This is mainly because the yellow metal has been known as a currency for much longer than the fiat (paper-based) currencies and it increases in value as these factors come into play.
Gold is also used in the fashion industry, mainly for jewellery purposes, and in other industries such as aerospace, electronics, and medical.
Over the past 12 years, gold prices have soared—from around $280.00 an ounce to about $1,250 now. This represents an increase of about 250% in total or a bit more than 28% each year. Going forward, the fundamentals for the prices to move higher look promising as well. Demand is increasing and supply is shrinking.
Back in 2002, the editors of Profit Confidential started telling their readers it was time to jump into gold-related investments. This gold investing guidance and analysis proved to be extremely timely. Yes, back in 2002 we started offering gold analysis to our readers and we still do it today. We have been recognized as one of the first investment letters to tell its audience to jump into gold stocks, very early in the gold bull market. The gold guidance and analysis we provided resulted in investors seeing many stocks we follow rising in price 100% or more in short periods of time. Today, you can regularly find gold market analysis in Profit Confidential. Each time gold prices have moved higher, we've told our readers to buy more gold-related investments. See what we have to say about gold's future daily in Profit Confidential.

The meat does not need to be seared in skillet first to make this fall-apart tender, pulled BBQ beef for sandwiches. This recipe has so much flavor no one will notice the Worcestshire sauce & the salt were deleted to reduce sodium (you may also use low-sodium catsup and BBQ to reduce sodium further). Using molasses instead of brown sugar and Worcestshire gives a depth of flavor and authenticity, while reducing sugar & sodium. It is great to take to picnics, buffets, or tailgating. Freezes well.

Chris Ryan's Blog
By Chris Ryan
June 19, 2012
As you can imagine things are pretty hectic right now. NYC pride is by far one of the largest in the world and tourists will be coming in from everywhere next week. We've actually already started to see an influx of tourists come in who felt they would get an early start to their NYC pride by popping into the parties this week. Pride is one of the most exciting times we gays experience in NYC because there's this energy present in the air that makes everyone giddier and nicer!
I, perosnally, have four events that I am running during pride and one that I am partnered with. My pride begins on Wednesday, June 20th with a kick-off at the Ritz in NYC. We have an exciting performer from London in town that goes by Holly T, she's quite fantastic and excited to get things moving with one of her electrifying performances of "What Money Wants, Money Gets." On Thursday the boys and I invade the 3 level nightclub coined Bar 13 due to it's home on 13th street and University in the West Village. And what better than a BIG porn star to start off our night by dancing nearly naked on the rooftop? Yeah, it does get better. After I try to recover from those two nights, pride weekend begins. On Friday I'm back at the Ritz and have 3 performers on all 3 levels of the nightclub (I'm not crazy, I swear)! Saturday I escape the island of Manhattan and head to Governor's island to partake in the Matinee event I'm partnered with, which promises to be one of the most exciting events of pride with a special surprise celebrity performance (HINT: This "gender" just wants to have fun)! And finally we make it to Sunday (barely!) for the BIG day! I have Kat Graham coming in from LA to perform at my rooftop pride event at 230 fifth avenue which we've appropriately named "The Rainbow Ball." Sherry Vine will be performing her parody of Kat Graham's song "Put Your Graffiti On Me" earlier (I won't mention the parodied name). Graham will take the stage later to perform the big hit.
Come Monday I will finally get to sleep (and eat)!

When I'm not running my extremely busy nightlife business I'm constantly writing my book, my music blog, songs, poems, etc. And if that were busy enough, I'm also a PhD student getting my doctorate in clinical psychology.

what a joke
GOP is a sinking ship. They have no interest in a bigger tent. They would rather shrink further into irrelevance then actually obey the constitution and behave as reasonable logical human beings. They want our votes and money but not our ideas....that is all. Not one more cent from me. I don't care if Rand runs in 2016. As long as he associates himself with the GOP, I don't think I can vote for him.
I guess I will be following Stefan Molyneux's lead. I will no longer be apart of this sham called democratic elections. What's the point when an "executive board" of sycophants can just throw out anyone they want regardless of the will of the people.
I'm pretty much done with the GOP and Republicans....

Getting the balance right
Posted in England Women
I have had a busy month after getting back from Bangalore balancing the demands of my cricket and my work experience at the University of Sydney.
I've found that Sydney wickets are generally good batting tracks but will still offer something for the bowlers early on so it has been good to take the new ball for Bankstown. I have taken early wickets in most of the games I have played in which I am pleased with. It has also been great to have an opportunity to put into practice what we learnt in Bangalore.
I have been excited to learn about the introduction of a new Twenty20 domestic competition in England next year – all the girls will be really looking forward to it.
Since women's cricket in England merged with the ECB the game has continuously been developing, particularly the domestic and international game, which makes you even more motivated to work hard.
It has been an amazing year for women's cricket in England, with an Ashes win and ODI series wins over New Zealand, West Indies, South Africa and India.
That means that we go into 2009 with a lot of confidence in winning all of the major events that we play in including the ICC Women's World Cup and the ICC World Twenty20.
Ever since we lost in the semi-final in 2005 at the ICC Women's World Cup we have wanted to make up for our disappointments and so four years of hard work have gone into being prepared for this time round. There are only 12 weeks to go now to the start of the event and we get excited every time we talk about it.
It will be different to play tournament cricket as opposed to playing a series as there are no second chances. This is something we have been working hard on over the last year. We always knew we had the talent but we seem to now be applying ourselves in match situations to such an extent that we win games even when we're not playing at our best. Mark Lane, the England coach, has instilled this way of thinking into our approach to help us win more games of cricket consistently. There is also greater depth in the team with more players putting in match-winning performances.
There have been so many good moments in 2008 it is hard to choose my favourite, but my personal highlight would be the Bowral Test Match to retain the Ashes. Before this match I had struggled to get into the side but I took my chance taking nine wickets, and have not looked back since. It was a turning point for me as a cricketer and since then I have really felt that I belong at this level.
Living with some of my England teammates, we are all looking forward to spending Christmas together in the Australian sunshine. Jenny Gunn will be coming over from Perth so it will be nice to catch up with her. Although we will be looking to relax and have fun, we will still be disciplined in our training knowing that there is not long to go now.
Fitness is massively important as the rigours of playing two major world tournaments in the space of a few months, along with the Ashes and ODI series, will be unlike anything we have ever done before so we need to be fully prepared in order to avoid injury.
We actually have a team pact where we always go for a run on Christmas day, no matter where we are in the world, so we fully deserve our Christmas dinner. I am quite glad I will be doing my run in the warmth of Sydney, rather than some of the girls back in the UK.
I am looking forward to the rest of the squad coming out in mid February to join all of us already in Sydney. We do our best to keep in touch with the girls back home and we are about to send a group e-mail from all the girls in Australia keeping them updated on our experiences.
We speak to Mark Lane and Charlotte Edwards on a regular basis, who I know check our scores every week, and we also keep in touch with our individual Strength and Conditioning coach who sends out our tailor-made fitness programmes regularly.
With all this preparation, one thing guaranteed is that we can't be criticized for a lack of an effort in trying to become the first England team to win an event played under an ICC banner. Roll on 2009!

The reduced VAT rate for tourism services must be extended until 2016 to ensure that visitor numbers continue to grow at the current strong pace, according to Dublin Chamber of Commerce.
Official tourism figures show a 10pc increase in visitor numbers during the first eight months of 2014.
Dublin Chamber says that the 9pc VAT rate is essential to maintaining a competitive tourism product and cautions that removing it will push prices up and undermine the excellent progress being made.
Gina Quin, Dublin Chamber Chief Executive said, "The 9pc VAT rate places Ireland in a favourable position versus a majority of other EU Member States, particularly in the food and restaurant sector. Other countries are moving in a similar direction. Germany, France and Spain all currently operate low VAT rates for hotel stays, while Switzerland has announced a four year renewal of its reduced rate. The Irish Government must now commit in Budget 2015 to extending the application of the 9pc VAT rate into 2015 and 2016. One third of all hotel bed-nights are booked one year in advance, so providing a level of certainty on the VAT rate will allow the tourism industry to market this competitiveness advantage."
To boost the recovery in other sectors, Dublin Chamber is also calling on the Government to consider the expansion of the reduced VAT rate into other labour intensive industries, where EU law allows.
Ms Quin added: "Services such as construction, the renovation and repair of private dwellings and hairdressing are mostly operated as small business and do so on very tight margins. A small reduction in operating costs could yield extremely positive effects, both for the consumer and in terms of growing employment opportunities."

Got clouds?
Yep, I did. We had spectacular clouds that day, and I had an excellent opportunity to field-test my new green filter in a special 36mm push-on size for the Industar-22 collapsible lens of my Zorki. The film is not so long overdue, but has developed some interesting textures and defects at random spots. Not too unhappy with that fact though.
Taken by adash with a Zorki 1 (available in our Online Shop) loaded with Svema Foto 64 film in Sofia, Bulgaria. These tags describe this photo: urban, sunset, trees, tree, street, building, clouds, sky, home-developed, r09, rodinal, expired, and b&w. Date: 2013-01-20. Time: Afternoon.

MS-DOS has been around for many years now. Whilst I started working with PCs towards the end of the MS-DOS era many of the first PC games I can remember playing were run in MS-DOS.
Many old DOS games simply cannot be run on modern PCs and operating systems and this is where DOSbox helps, DOSBox emulates an Intel x86 PC along with everything necessary for running many old MS-DOS applications. In this guide we will setup and configure DOSbox and install a couple of sample games.
DOSbox runs on a variety of different hardware/software including: Windows, Linux, Mac OS-X, BeOS and even the Sony PSP.
1) Installing DOSbox
Installing DOSbox will vary depending on the operating system that you are running. Installation may be as simple as running an executable file or you may have to resort to compiling the source code. For further information please refer to the authors website : www.dosbox.com
2) Mounting Drives
The first thing you will need to setup to be able to install and run your old games and programs is to set an area aside on your hard drive for DOSbox to use. Create a folder in the root of your C: (or your Home folder in Linux) drive called DOSGAMES. Then within DOSbox type: -
This mounts the folder C:\DOSGAMES to the new drive C: This is where all our installed games will reside.
Next we will require a CD or DVD drive mapping, just incase we require to install software from CD, to do this type the following into DOSbox.
MOUNT D E:\ -T cdrom
In the above example this creates a cdrom drive in DOSbox called D:\ that uses my existing drive E: in Windows. Below is an example of the same command for Linux users.
MOUNT D /media/cdrom0 -T cdrom
3) Mounting ISO Disc images
Perhaps like me you have backed up some of those aging DOS cdroms to CD images to preserve them from the gradual wear and tear. The following command will mount a disc image that we have copied into the root of our DOSbox C:\ drive as a CDROM drive labeled D:\
imgmount d C:\MyISO.iso -t iso
4) Making these settings permanent
As you may (or may not) have noticed the mount point(s) that we have set up for your hard drive and cdrom will disappear once you quit.
First we will need to create a configuration file to do this type the following into DOSbox:
config -writeconf dosbox.conf
This file will be saved where you installed DOSbox to in Windows, If you are running Linux it will be saved in your "Home" folder
To make these settings a little more permanent we will have to edit the "dosbox.conf" file we just created, open it in your favorite text editor (I use gedit), look right at the bottomof the file and you will see the following:
# Lines in this section will be run at startup.
Under this add the command you used to mount your DOSbox C:\ drive and cdrom for example:
# Lines in this section will be run at startup.
MOUNT D E:\ -T cdrom
Save and exit the text editor, now next time you load DOSbox your mount points will be ready for you to use.
5) Further reading
If you are new or unfamiliar with MSDOS then please pay a visit to the following link for a quick crash course in the basics of using MSDOS
Don't worry if all this seems a little complicated at first there are various frontends for DOSbox as well as other ways to launch your old games but we'll cover those in more detail in another post.

Acquired Tastes
One of the best parts of dating a person, especially at the beginning of your relationship, is getting to pick their brain for cool stuff. Everybody's into different things, and therefore everyone knows about different obscure items--books, movies, bands, whatever--that could be busted out to woo or impress a potential partner. I mean sure, your friend the line cook at the recently three-starred restaurant might tell you about this authentic but out of the way Thai place in Queens that all the chefs go to, but he's much more likely bring a girl he's trying to impress there.

Updated: March 28, 9:29 PM ET
MINNEAPOLIS -- Minnesota coach Pam Borton spent 10 years learning to coach women's college basketball by assisting Cathy Inglese.
So naturally, when Borton -- in her second season as Gophers head coach -- needs an ear, she dials her old boss at Boston College.
"Even today,'' Borton said, "when things aren't going well, I'll pick the phone up and she'll have words of encouragement or words of advice, or just someone who will listen to me at the time. And vice versa.''
If she wants to talk to Inglese this weekend, Borton can just walk over to the opposing bench.
Borton, who spent five years with Inglese at Boston College and another five on her staff at Vermont, will coach against her mentor Sunday when the Gophers play the No. 3 seed Golden Eagles (27-6) in a Mideast semifinal game in the NCAA Tournament. The seventh-seeded Gophers (23-8) are coming off an upset win over Kansas State.
It's the classic student-versus-teacher scenario. But Borton's trying to downplay that storyline -- at least to the media.
"I really haven't looked at it that way,'' Borton said. "I just don't want to play this up too much that we're playing Boston College. When that ball goes up, it doesn't really matter who's out there. We're going to fight like heck to win that basketball game no matter who it is.''
But when she addressed her players before Monday's 80-61 romp over the second-seeded Wildcats, Borton let on that it would be special to face her good friend and old mates.
"She was pretty excited,'' forward Shannon Bolden said. "She said she wanted to get to the Sweet 16 so we could play Boston College. I think that's really exciting for her.''
For Inglese, too.
"At the same time you're playing against somebody you've worked with who's a friend,'' Inglese said. "It's hard, but you can't pick who you're playing at this time.''
The two have quite a successful history together.
Borton began assisting Inglese at Vermont in 1988. The Catamounts went 20-33 in Borton's first two seasons with the team, but lost only nine games in the next three. As part of Inglese's staff, Borton helped coach the team to consecutive undefeated seasons in 1991-92 and 1992-93, including an NCAA-record 53 consecutive regular-season victories.
In the 1993-94 season, Inglese left for Boston College, and Borton took the helm at Vermont, guiding the Catamounts to their third-straight North Atlantic Conference title.
"Being able to take over, step into her shoes, I think she had a lot of confidence in me,'' Borton said.
After four years as Vermont's head coach, Borton went back to work for Inglese in 1997 to get more experience in a bigger program. By then, Inglese had restored a struggling Eagles program back to respectability.
Borton served as Inglese's primary recruiter and after a couple of seasons, Boston College was recording 22- and 26-win seasons and made it to the second round of the NCAA Tournament.
In 2000, Inglese promoted Borton to associate head coach, sending a message to all Division I programs that her protégé was ready for a big program of her own.
In 2002, Borton arrived in Minnesota to coach a team that had gone from one of the worst in college basketball to the NCAA Tournament in a single season.
Just two years removed from Boston College, Borton will not only coach against her friend and mentor, but against players she helped recruit.
"I still feel a little bit of connection with the players,'' she said. "Every time they're on TV, I want to flip it on to see how they play. Sometimes I'll still pull up box scores.''
But Borton's quick to point out that her loyalty is with the Gophers now.
"This is my team,'' she said.
Likewise, Boston College hopes Borton and her Gophers do well, just not at the Eagles' expense.
"It is a little ironic that we play them in the round of 16,'' Eagles senior Amber Jacobs said. "But we're there to show the world, show the nation, what Boston College basketball is all about.''

I like this theory. Because it could mean one thing.
Up till now it appeared to me that the manga will end after Oro and Akatsuki are defeated.
Because it would be very time consuming and cliche (Dbz wore it out, although i loved ssj 2&3) to introduce another villain which is stronger than those before him.
But not if he was already introduced.
Madara/Itachi could rise up to it and may be using Akatsuki all this time. Who knows.
I'd like that theory to be true, because it'll mean the manga has to go on for a longer time. Without becoming a dbz clone in terms of bad guys (don't get me wrong I love db)

Why is atheist a bad word? How do we flip this word because I don't think I can (honestly) call myself anything else!
not when it's repeated constantly .. just like any god stuff. religions.. they're only accepted because they've been repeated through the centuries.. sigh.. people..
people people.. learn some code.. learn a new sport.. politics and hate are no sports worth a damn
politics.. or .. 'right wing'. sheesh in Greece and Russia really bad xenophobia.. etc..

The only reason why "atheist" is a supposedly bad word is because the hard-line theists want it that way. They want people to buy in on the whole eating-babies, hedonistic, amoral crap that they spew and they get upset (sometimes REALLY upset) when reality doesn't square with their hallucination. We're the pebble in their shoe and the hair in their soup. We remind them that what they're selling is bullshit, and all the apologetics in the world won't change that.
When I first recognized that I was, indeed, an atheist, I started out looking for euphemisms for "atheist," such as "rationalist" or "freethinker," but ultimately, I think I grew to like the in-your-face attitude represented by the "A"-word. When a quartet of Jehovah's Witnesses showed up in my driveway 2-1/2 years ago and I faced my first opportunity to do so, I identified myself to them as an atheist, and when they asked if I had always been one, or if something had caused me to become an atheist, I answered, "Yes - common sense." I was polite with them and wished them a good day when they left, but I made it clear that their mistaken belief had absolutely ZERO TRACTION with me.
I will personally not tolerate the word "atheist" being treated as a forbidden or wrong or improper word because it isn't. It is an element of who I am and as I embrace all of who I am, I embrace it as well. If someone doesn't like it, that's THEIR problem.
Loren, I LOVE your answer to the jehovah's witlesses! If I ever encounter them I am going to say the same thing.~ Melinda
"Realist" works, too, but as Loren said, I prefer being a capital-A, in-your-face, no-euphemisms Atheist. It's NOT a "bad" or impolite word as is the f-word. It's just a descriptive word.
The sad truth is that Atheist is a word that has been marred by centuries of religious indoctrination and misconception. It doesn't help that it's still going on.
Are you dealing with people who don't understand that using "a" as a prefix indicates a negative? I mean if you say, "I'm an atheist," you're not saying "I'm an a theist," are you?
That makes no sense. It's certainly atypical.
(English Curmudgeon)
Heh! They're probably rehearsing their seasonal phoney outrage acts. You know, "poor little persecuted us...war on xmas...blah...blah....blah." Hoping to get their 15 seconds of fame on FAUX GNUZ. They love feeling persecuted; makes 'em feel important instead of insignificant.

The best thing you can do is to start with your machine's manual and learn to do all it teaches. There are a ba-zillion websites that have info---tutorials--designs etc. I joined several groups and have learned from them all. My favorite forum is Sew Forum....a wealth of information and tons of freebies. Buy your machine from a dealer who offers plenty of support, repair, and even classes. |

I received a pinguicula pup in the mail about a month ago with two 4-inch long main roots and the remainder of the stolon cut to about 1 inch.
I planted this pup in a shallow pot about 2 inches deep(5x4 inches) using a coarse mixture (gravel, bark and perlite) and misted it occasionally (Lightly every 3-4 days). In any case, it's been about a month since the pup has arrived and been planted but the leaves have begun to shrink as they lose water content. It felt loose in the pot so I upended it today to find that no new roots have formed, but some of the finer roots have dried. There is no rot and no soft, discoloured or otherwise damaged tissue. I'm just posting to ask if my rooting method is correct, or if there's anything I should change. For the moment I've repotted the pinguicula propped between two stones to keep the remaining roots at a depth of about half an inch under the surface. Here you can see the plant as it is now, the leaves are a little shrunken but otherwise healthy. From left to right you can see 2 main roots and the remaining stolon on the far right. The potting mixture and stones are damp because I've just misted them. So what should I do? Any tips or insights are welcome. |

Plant it deeper, and leave the plant alone, it needs to go dry between watering, then when you do water do it thoroughly. Read what it says about the plant and where it grows and grow yours accordingly. Pirate girl grows these plants in NYC ask her how she grows this plant it may grow differently north, and not like they do in Africa. Take a pencil and push it down into the soil and see how dry it is. Yt is known to go 6 mo without water where I live in a semi desert valley which if compared to Africa. 106 F. 8 ft up, much hotter at ground level. Don't water unless you see roots putting out growth, ask Pirate Girl she know more than I do. Ask Pirate Girl she lives north I live south) if it is to be misted or sprinkled every three days. Norma |
- Posted by brodyjames Wisconsin, 5 (My Page) on Tue, Jul 20, 10 at 18:52
I agree with Norma; plant it deeper. Why are you exposing the roots? Nancy |
Perhaps I was unclear, the roots were exposed for the sake of taking this photo after I'd inspected them. As I'd posted, the plant was originally potted 2 inches deep, to the base of the rosette. |
Rennet, Your pinguicula looks great! I don't believe misting is at all needed, but I can't fault your results :-) Pings are slow growers, and enjoy lots of light to do their best. Michaela |
- Posted by norma_2006 (My Page) on Sun, Jul 25, 10 at 19:01
Michaela, I am glad that you told her that, I am still afraid to give any advise here. These are exceptionally slow growing Sansevieria, reputed to be one of the slowest, until they get a good root system. Several others have this reputation. S. humiflora, S. eilansis (spelling?) and there is yet more. Norma |
- Posted by pirate_girl Zone7 NYC (My Page) on Mon, Jul 26, 10 at 16:17
Hi Norma, No I don't know more than you do about these, no way no how. So I'll clarify that as I did just now when you' ve stated what simply is not the case (that I know more about these than you do). As to S. Pinguiculas, I found mine extremely slow growing & never was able to get it to produce roots, not on the pup it made nor the parent plant. "I am still afraid to give any advise here" You gave advise freely here Tues., now Sunday you say you're afraid to give advise here -- what gives? This is an open & public forum Norma, as long as your info is abt the plants, I can't see what the problem is. Pls. be reminded that folks here are free to agree or disagree & pls. don't let that prevent you from speaking. It disturbs me to hear that you're "afraid to give advise here" Why? Lest someone disagree? Why allow that to stop you. Isn't that what makes a horse race? |
Hi, S. pinguicula needs lots of warmth. My two little plants only started to grow a few weeks ago in the unusual heat of more than 30°C. So I think the hottest and brightest place on the windowsill will do it. As for the roots, it normally grows on stilts. Mine are "floating" about 10 cm in the air. Misting can help IMHO, I do that very carefully, and not before dusk, since the stomata open only at night. Helli |
Thanks to everyone for the info. I soaked the plant for half an hour about a week ago and I've been misting the plant lightly at night. It certainly looks like the warmth is helping to get the plant growing. It's been some 36C with >70% humidity here for the last few weeks and the pup has finally decided to do something. |

I tried to post a few hours ago, wasn't working ... anyway ... Congratulations on your new growth, one can certainly see that coming along, cool pix. Am hoping Norma will see this & suggest to you the best way to handle this. |

pirate Girl you certainly do more than I do, you grow plants differently then I do, you live in NYC I live in a semi-arid desert. I have been told many times, that I don't grow my plant rights and shouldn't be giving advise on how to grow them. That is why I am shuting up. I grow my African plants like African plants, depending where they naturally grow. I welcome your advise, Norma |

Neat little pinguicula. Norma, as Pirate Girl said.........people are entitle to different opinions.......and not everyone is going to agree with your methods nor your results. However, you have a lot of experience and you are a good grower....and there are many others who both benift from and enjoy your opinion. I have stated that several times here. For the one person that says "Norma you are wrong on this or that blah blah blah.." there are 20 others benefiting from what you wrote!! -Chris (Woodnative) |

I have been told several times that I don't know what I am talking about because I live in an African climate on the 30th Par. with very dry arid climate, hardly no humidity. Pirate Girl lives in colder temperatures, so knows how to grow them better than I in those temperatures and in the house. I respect her knowledge. I don't grow one in my house. Norma |

Me, too - mine hasn't shrunk but it hasn't grown, either. |

It's not the right time of year for new growth. I would really like to see that new root covered up. The head of the plant may take 20 years before putting out a new stolen that a baby is on. I have just had three of those and I have three plants. I also grow mine in a shallow show container. The also now have three heads, and some are on stilts and trying to escape. It has never flowered, it also may be a different clone then yours, my leaves are very glaucus blue, and one head is starting to twist sideways and no longer in a rosette, like a Aloe plant. (dichotomous) two equal leaves branched in two. What gives? These plants are now 20 years old. I sure don't know. I have just read that no one reported flowering. Norma |
