Wow, what a great bean recipe. Served them with Bourbon BBQ Ribs and everyone kept saying the ribs were great but the beans....This is so quick and easy I will never spend 8 hours baking beans again.
I grew up hating baked beans...until I made this recipe out of curiosity. Delicious! Not too sweet and just spicy enough. This is a huge recipe. I made it for a BBQ for ten...good thing I didn't mind eating beans every day for the next four days.
Served this dish recently at a BBQ and everyone raved about it. So unbelievably tasty. We have prepared it three times since then and have "kicked it up a notch" with more chilies. An absolute winner!
I made this recipe for the first time last week for a cookout for 70+ people. Many said they were the best baked beans they had ever eaten! And I agree!
These beans were great. The best I've ever had. I made them yesterday. My picky fiance even liked them!! They had a wonderful smokey flavor and weren't sticky sweet. I cut the recipe in half and baked them in an 8x8 pan. I still cooked them for an hour though. They turned out great. I took the suggestions of previous cooks and added cornstarch. I'll definitely make these again.
Wow! I loved these beans! So many baked beans reciped seem to be "bean candy," but in this dish the sweetness is very well balanced with the other complex flavors. FYI, I made it without the bacon and had no regrets. A real crowd pleaser.
Got rave reviews when I took this to a barbecue. Couldn't believe they could be so great using canned beans. Definitely a keeper.
Baked bean lovers have to try these beans at least once! Saute the onions in the bacon grease, use a variety of beans (red, black & pinto)for extra color, and enjoy! You'll never want to make them any other way! Use the chipotle sparingly...if you use too much, you'll ruin these wonderful beans. If there seems to be too much liquid...just bake a little longer and skip the parsley.
I made these beans to go with a pulled pork recipe from this issue. Both were fabulous. I halved the recipe and changed the beans to pintos and small whites, and my boyfriend (an avowed baked bean connoisseur) pronounced them his favorite of all time! We plan on making them again for a Mother's Day get together we're having. Try this recipe, you won't be disappointed.

Bergdahl Back in U.S.
SAN ANTONIO, TX (CBS2/FOX28) - Army Sergeant Bow Bergdahl is back in the U.S. Bergdahl landed in Texas early Friday morning after his doctors said he was well enough to fly.
Bergdahl was being treated at a U.S. military hospital in Germany and will now continue his treatment at Brooke Army Medical Center in San Antonio.
He returns amid a firestorm of controversy surrounding his release.
Bergdahl was captured by the Taliban in 2009 and last month, he was released when the White House struck a deal with the Taliban; the U.S. exchanged five Taliban prisoners for Bergdahl.
Lawmakers are upset for a number of reasons including not being told about the exchange, some even say the White House was inconsistent with the reason for the speedy swap.

Timeshare Scam Tips
By Juliette Fairley
NEW YORK ( MainStreet)--When Robert Burk received a phone call from Timeshare Mega Media in 2009 about selling his Lake Tahoe timeshare, the electronics engineer jumped at the opportunity.
"I was unemployed at the time, and they offered to resell it for $22,000," said Burke who originally purchased the $14,000 timeshare in exchange for one week in the condo every other year.
The 53-year-old gave the Florida-based company $2,450 up front to make the proposed resale deal happen.
"Timeshare Mega Media kept me going for a long time, assuring me that a sale was in the works but most calls were never returned," Burk said. "I got tired of the runaround and filed a complaint with the state of Florida." It turns out that the resale offer was fake and Timeshare Mega Media didn't really have a buyer for Burk's Lake Tahoe timeshare. "They did have a license issued in Florida for telemarketing, but Timeshare Mega Media was not licensed to sell property," said Burk, who has since recovered $1,900 of the money he lost. Burk is one of the more than 13,000 written timeshare resale complaints in the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) database since 2009. "Con artists take advantage of timeshare owners who have been in tough financial straits and are desperate to sell their timeshares," said Charles A. Harwood, acting director of the FTC Bureau of Consumer Protection. "They persuade owners to pay fat, up-front fees by saying they have someone ready to buy the property but that's a lie." The FTC announced 191 actions to stop fraudulent operations from the marketing of timeshare property resale services. About 83 civil actions were brought by 28 states and 25 actions brought by police in 10 other countries. As a result, more than 184 individuals face criminal prosecution by U.S. attorneys and local law enforcement. Companies named in the lawsuits include Resort Solution Trust, Resort Property Depot, Vacation Communications Group and Timeshare Mega Media. "These people weren't really reselling timeshares," says David Horn, assistant regional director with the FTC. "So, we've sued a bunch of them. This is a fraudulent activity that has become quite common, which is why there are so many enforcement actions."Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

Grace Ellis Archives - Robot 6 @ Comic Book Resources
Comics A.M. | Salt Lake Comic Con draws a reported 120,000
Conventions | Attendance at the second annual Salt Lake Comic Con was estimated at between 120,000 and 130,000, putting it on a par with the big shows like Comic-Con International in San Diego and New York Comic Con. Even better, Stan Lee proclaimed it "the greatest comic con in the world" (but he probably says that to all the shows). [The Salt Lake Tribune]
Conventions | The scale of the first Las Cruces [New Mexico] Comic Con was considerably smaller, with expected attendance of 3,000 to 5,000, but organizers were pleased with the event, which featured a Yu-Gi-Oh! tournament, a Comic Strip Burlesque show, and appearances by Jim Steranko, Power Rangers stuntman Jason Ybarra, and the 1966 Batmobile. [Las Cruces Sun-News]
'Lumberjanes' gets promoted to ongoing series
Lumberjanes, the critically acclaimed BOOM! Studios comic by Noelle Stevenson, Grace Ellis, Brooke Allen and Shannon Watters, has been upgraded to an ongoing series.
Announced as an eight-issue miniseries from the publisher's fledgling BOOM! Box imprint, Lumberjanes centers on five teen girls — Jo, April, Mal, Molly and Ripley — who head off to summer camp, only to be faced with monsters in the woods and a mystery that puts the whole world at risk.
Two #1s: 'Batman Eternal' and 'Lumberjanes'
I have to imagine there were almost as many forehead-slaps as high-fives in the room at the meeting where someone suggested DC Comics devote their next weekly comic to the Batman franchise. There had to be as many people thinking, "Why didn't I think of that?" as there were people saying, "Good thinking!"
"More Batman" has rarely been a bad business decision for the publisher, and not only is the franchise carrying more than its fair share of the 52-ish books that make up the DCU line, the Scott Snyder/Greg Capullo flagship title continues to perform at crazy-high numbers. So why not produce another Batman book, and rather than sticking it in a corner of the franchise, far from the main book, the one that seems to "count" the most, why not tie it closely to Snyder's book? And hey, why not ship the thing weekly? Again, high fives!
I really love weekly comics, although the format has some pretty unique pressures, which we've seen play out various ways as DC has tried different routes over and over to get to weekly comics, with no two efforts—52, Countdown, Trinity, Wednesday Comics, and the bi-weeklies Brightest Day and Justice League: Generation Lost—really being produced in quite the same way.
The most obvious pressure is that getting these things to ship on time like clockwork often means sub-par art, so as much as I was personally looking forward to Batman Eternal, I was frightened as much as disappointed to see the art starting out bad; this was, after all, the issue that should be the best looking.

Hi All...
First time posting on the dahlia forum. Been gardening for about 2 years now and dahlias are by far and away my favorite annual! This is my first attempt at growing them from seed. My dahlia's have already been thinned (saving every single baby I could!) and I would like to make some space by leaving them outside until I'm ready to plant them and get them hardened off. Temps are supposed to get as cold as 36 overnight this week and as hot as 92 today. Can I start to leave them outdoors now? |
Follow-Up Postings:
Once the seedling has been planted into it's own pot, it needs about a week of greenhouse care to grow new roots. Then they could be placed outside (still in pots), assuming the weather is not too hot or too cold. Hot =80 degrees cold =45 degrees. |
- Posted by vera_eastern_wa 5b-6a (My Page) on Wed, Apr 22, 09 at 11:27
Well I know folks use the wintersow (actually springsow) method to start their Dahlia and plant them directly from sowing container to ground just fine. That potting them up for a week step is skipped. We winter sowers like to transplant our seedlings (no matter what) from sowing container to ground when seedlings are just barely in the 2nd true-leaf stage or smaller. Sometimes however certain seedlings (species depending) are exceptionally yummy to certain pests (slugs, ect) and they do get potted up and planted out later as bigger robust plants); it just depends. Since you didn't use the method above (see winter sowing forum) you will need to harden them off by giving them a little more sunlight gradually over a week to 2 week period. The first day start them off in the shade then move them into sun for a short period and them make it a little longer each day until you can leave them all day and all night outdoors. That is hardening-off :) Good luck |
I would not leave them out yet. 36 is too close to freezing. I have a few days right around freezing that killed brand new store bought, very healthy and large tubers. Not a single scrap of tuber to be salveged! All it took was one night to ruin my tubers! What I would do, is watch the weather closely, put them out during the day, this will save you window space / lighting space indoors. Let them bask in the sun all day (gradually work them into the sun). But, you are going to need to bring them in during the night for nights forecasted below 45. Not fun, but important. Better safe then sorry. |

I am in the process of hardening off my dahlia seedlings and I appreciate all this good advice! Thank you. |

October Online Deals
So I own one of these "LBS"s you speak of.. When people come in and ask for us to match online prices we say " Absolutely! As long as were not losing money." and thank them for giving us the opertunity to make a sale! How many people just assume your "LBS" is out to get you and won't hook it up unless you buy a $2000+ bike? And then just buy online without even asking there struggling "LBS" if they can match that deal and still make a cpl bucks! I can't speak for if they will but the chances are they can! I understand they concept of margin and overhead but when someone buys something online my "LBS" gets nothing. When we match prices our LBS gets something even better than a little profit, we get an opertunity to build a new customer relationship and perhaps earn there business in the future.

L'Oreal Pays Tribute to Turning 100 with 100 New Charitable Projects
At a time when corporations are downsizing, merging, and disappearing, L'Oreal, the world's largest beauty and cosmetics company, with 23 brands in more than 130 countries, is celebrating its longevity: this month, the beauty behemoth turns 100 years old. That's a major accomplishment considering that French chemist Eugene Schueller founded the company in 1909 in his small Parisian apartment, creating the first-ever synthetic hair dye using his kitchen as a laboratory.But beyond its success at beauty counters and in boardrooms (since the 1960s, the company has expanded by acquiring well-known brands such as Lancome, Garnier, Redken, and Kiehl's), L'Oreal has always been an industry front-runner in the philanthropic world. In 2007, the company decided to make a formal pledge to giving back by creating the L'Oreal Corporate Foundation, which focuses on supporting education, promoting scientific research, and helping disadvantaged populations. "[The foundation] is an additional step in our determination to look beyond our economic success towards a broader notion of social responsibility," says Sir Lindsay Owen-Jones, chairman of L'Oreal and president of the foundation.
Jean-Paul Agon, Chief Executive Officer of L'Oreal since 2006.

Libiszewski; L'Oreal DR.Now, to commemorate L'Oreal's centenary, the foundation is taking on a mammoth task: developing 100 new charitable projects, with a special focus on regional issues. "In countries around the world, the group's subsidiaries will launch a series of 'Citizen Projects,'" says Campbell, explaining that L'Oreal is partnering with people throughout the world to develop initiatives that will have a positive impact on their local communitieses.

I've never actually read this book or the previous book in the series.

A tunnel under the railway line between Cork and Mallow that eventually ends up in "the big smoke", Dublin (Only ever heard Dublin people refer to Dublin by that name..)
I believe the road heads to Whitechurch where we're heading tomorrow for a meal with some Polish friends. There are great winding roads off the main Cork-Mallow dual carriageway. Lovely scenery and some unusual sights. Must rummage through some of those shots and dig out the good ones.
There's even a Wikipedia entry for Big Smoke! Apparently several cities are known by that name: Belfast, London, Melbourne, Toronto and Vancouver. Interesting.

Due to my love for Q3A and the recent talk of the game both at Giant Bomb and Tested, I have once again leased a game server in hopes of playing with members of the community. Yes, the game is 12 years old. Yes, there is the free to play Quake Live. But any Quake III purists out there will understand. Some of us don't like the subtle changes made to the game in Quake Live, and we also prefer to have an administered playing environment via a proper dedicated server. So, if any of you are fans of playing deathmatch the way was meant to be, here is the relevant info.
Server IP-
Basic player stats via Gametracker
Steam Group-
Game patch, map pack, Rocket Arena installer, and broadband cfg file-
EDIT- Many folks, including myself, have performance issues with the Steam version of Quake 3 Arena. If you have these issues, (low framerate, stuttering or hitching, or a general feeling of delay in weapon firing), you can run your Steam acquired Q3A outside of Steam which eliminates the problem(s). A simple 2 minute installation of ioquake3 and a quick file copy/paste is all it takes. Here are the IOQUAKE3 FILES, or you can visit the files link above. Instructions are in the zip for Windows users and in the .dmg for Mac folks.
Quake III Arena Community Server
Well I bought it over the summer sale may as well install it and check the server out.
Totally installing all this stuff right now. I was a UT guy back then, so this is my first foray into Quake. Are there any servers out there that are usually full that I can mess around in before Thursday?
@groin said:
Will smith will have his wiki!
Damn right he will.
nope. i cant get the aspect ratio to be correct. everything looks stretched. I found a widescreen gaming forum version of ioquake3 but it keeps kicking me. i also can not for the life of me find q3config.cfg to edit the aspect ratio. nothing is working and it looks just bad at 4:3 aspect stretched.
seta r_mode -1
seta r_customwidth 1980
seta r_customheight 1200
seta cg_fov 110
writeconfig autoexec.cfg
@Tahnit: If you haven't got ioquake3 working; 1. Did you install it in it's own directory. It needs to be independent of your other Quake3 installation, and not installed in your original Quake3 folder.
2. Make sure you copied the file "pak0.pk3" from your original Quake 3 (located in the "baseq3" folder) and pasted it into your ioquake3 "baseq3" folder.
Here's a screenshot of the files that should be in your ioquake3/baseq3 folder. If any are missing, you can copy them over from your Steam Quake 3 "baseq3" folder.
For those of you using the ioquake3 version of the game, which I recommend everyone should do, we now have fast map downloading enabled on the game server via download redirecting. If you do not use ioquake3, fast map downloading is not supported so you still need to manually download and copy the map pack into your baseq3 folder if you want to play when the server is running the Dreamcast maps (see original post for maps and ioquake3 links).
Server is running the Dreamcast maps and the custom map Ballistophobia tonight (Tuesday, August 2). I put a page up with screenshots of these maps here. As a reminder, if you aren't using ioquake3 as your game client you will need to download the map pack with instructions. If you are using ioquake3, just connect to the game server and it will push the maps to your game folder from my map server.
Can you also make a freeze tag server? :) that was the best.
I'm all for playing different mods, as long as there are a few people with interest in them. It's been years since I played freeze tag, but I'd love to do it. I'll see if I can get it running on the server this evening after real life duties are finished. I'm also considering OSP. I'll edit this post later once I have looked into it.
After much tinkering and testing with the Freeze Tag and OSP mods, we have decided to opt for CPMA, or Challenge Pro Mode Arena, as the full time setup on the server. With CPMA in place, the server can be switched to Freeze Tag(FTAG), Instagib DM(IFFA), Clan Arena(CA), and Deathmatch(FFA), through player voting. This allows us to run normal deathmatch as our default game, but when enough players are in the mood for a different game type, they can simply call a vote. To start a vote, open the console and type "/callvote mode FTAG". This example would start a freeze tag vote. Replace "FTAG" in the command to vote for other modes-i.e. FFA, IFFA, CA. You will of course need CPMA installed in your Quake3 game. If you use ioquake3, you can simply connect to the server for auto-install. If you do not use ioquake3, you can download CPMA at http://promode.org under Current Releases. Grab CPMA 1.48 and the map collection directly below it. Extract CPMA 148 to your Quake 3 folder, and then put the maps in the cpma folder.

Have you ever wondered what are the films that inspire the next generation of visionary filmmakers? As part of our monthly Ioncinephile profile (read this September), we ask the filmmaker the incredibly arduous task of identifying their top ten list of favorite films. Craig Johnson (who sees his The Skeleton Twins receive its theatrical release on September 12th) put together this top 10 (as of September 2014).
Carrie - Brian De Palma (1976)
"Freaky, funny, arty, beautiful, … and fucking scary. Sissy Spacek breaks your heart. And that seventies split screen action? Badass. This movie delivers on all levels at all times."
Election – Alexander Payne (1999)
"Every moment of this movie rings true. Painfully funny, painfully smart and so perfectly constructed. My sister and I quote it whenever we see each other. Might be a perfect film."
The Graduate – Mike Nichols (1967)
"The look on Mrs. Robinson's face when Benjamin leaves her in the hallway. »

The academy introduced the Foreign Language Film category in 1956 and Italy claimed a record 10 trophies in this race. However, the last of these was "Life is Beautiful" back in 1998. That 15-year drought ended this year with a win for "The Great Beauty." The 10 films that won the competitive Oscar, out of 29 nominations: 1956: "La Strada" 1957: "Nights of Cabiria" 1963: "8 1/2" 1964: "Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow" 1970: "Investigation of a Citizen Above Suspicion" 1971: "The Garden of the Finzi-Continis" 1974: "Amarcord" 1989: "Cinema Paradiso" 1991: "Mediterraneo" 1998: "Life Is Beautiful" From 1947 to 1955, the academy gave out non-competitive honorary awards to foreign language films and Italian fare claimed three of these: -Break- 1947: "Shoeshine" 1949: "The Bicycle Thief" 1950: "T »

I first watched Federico Fellini's 1960 film, La Dolce Vita, just over five years ago and with this week marking what would have been the filmmaker's 94th birthday I've chosen La Dolce Vita as the debut film in my Best Movies feature. Not because I believe it to be his best (though it certainly is one of the best), but largely because I've had the urge to watch it again ever since learning Paramount has finally been granted exclusive rights to the film, prompting me to hope it will finally receive a domestic Blu-ray release sometime soon. Captured in lovely black-and-white, Otello Martelli's cinematography lives up to the literal translation of the film's title -- "the sweet life" -- while the narrative focuses on a character living a life more empty than "sweet". Marking the first time Marcello Mastroianni and Fellini would work together, Mastroianni plays Marcello Rubini, a »

The Oscar race is never a dull one and that couldn't be any more apparent than in the race for Best Foreign Language film. This year is certainly shaping up to be a battle of David vs. Goliath if you looked at the histories of the countries competing. In one corner, you have Italy, with a whopping 12 wins in this category, facing off with a country like Cambodia, with no Oscar nominations. But such is the beauty of the awards season and the Oscars. So before the nominations come out, here's an Oscar primer to get you caught up on the Foreign Language films.

The beginning of a calendar year is an active time for the serious movie-watcher. Besides providing the most accelerated moment of awards pre-season and a profusion of top 10 lists, the new year also portends surprises from the influx of films annually chosen for preservation by the Nfpb and the new streaming contracts that motivate some heavy updates on your Netflix queue. But the Duke School of Law has also annually contributed another litany of films to these annual aggregations: films (and other creative works) that, as of January 1st of each year, they argue should be, but aren't, added to the public domain. According to the Center for the Study of the Public Domain, if the Copyright Act of 1976 (which went into effect in 1978) had never been passed, as of last week many works from 1957 would go into public domain in the United States, including classic films like David Lean's Bridge on the River Kwai »

Government and business are under constant cyber attack and must learn to "take the hit," says the director of a new cybersecurity training programme.
Mobile gaming social platform OpenFeint has announced that it is shutting down, giving developers just a few short weeks to migrate to Gree.
Hackers say they got data on Apple device users from FBI agent's laptop, but the agency denies knowing anything about it.
Netflix says HBO is the company's No. 1 competitor, but not everyone agrees. One analyst says Amazon looks more and more like a major threat.
iCloud is great for music lovers, but what about gamers and cinefiles?
Game Center is the new kid on the block when it comes to social gaming networks on the iOS platform, but there are already signs it could crowd out others.
The popular iOS social-gaming platform is hitting Android phones this week and has unveiled a full list of titles that will launch with the functionality enabled.
Software maker says it's moving on, but could it be just another negotiating ploy? There's reason to think Microsoft is serious, though Microhoo probably isn't completely off the table.
Good news for Android gamers: OpenFeint--the popular social-gaming layer found on iPhone and iPad apps is coming to Android this summer.
The iPad shares much in common with the iPhone, though making money off it continues to be a challenge for some developers, according to industry experts.

Watch All of Darren Criss' 'Glee' Performances -- So Far (VIDEO)
We're mere hours away from the newest episode of Glee (and Celebuzz's exclusive Livestream with Darren Criss, which takes places Wednesday) so what better way to celebrate than watching every single one of his Glee performances (thus far) in chronological order?!
Whether he's serendaing us with a ballad or getting us to tap our toes with an upbeat number, Darren has easily been one of the highlights this entire season of the hit Fox show.
So, let's take a walk down memory lane and relive each of his riveting performances!
Darren's first performance of Katy Perry's "Teenage Dream" on November 9's episode "Never Been Kissed" set the bar for the rest of the season, and Darren has most certainly been living up to this standard! Watch it above!
The follow up to his debut was another popular song from 2010, as he put his Blaine spin on Train's "Hey Soul Sister," during the episode "Special Education."
Darren's next song, "Baby It's Cold Outside," aired during Glee's Christmas episode and many thought the long awaited kiss between Blaine and Kurt would take place during this duet, but sadly, fans were kept waiting.
Gleeks were kept waiting almost two months between the Christmas episode and the highly anticipated post Super Bowl episode, and it was graced with this Warblers number, their take on the classic Destiny's Child tune "Bills, Bills, Bills."
This next performance of Robin Thicke's "When I Get You Alone," took place as Blaine attempted to confess his love for the Gaps' junior manager during the Valentine's Day episode (to no avail we might add).
Another number from "Silly Love Songs," the appropriate Beatles number, "Silly Love Songs." This could make even a cold hearted snake crack a smile!
Next up was Blaine and Rachel's (drunken) rendition of the 80s hit "Don't You Want Me Baby" from "Blame it on the Alcohol" episode, which then lead to a whole lot of awkwardness after Rachel fell for the gay stud.
Taking on the current hit "Animal" by Neon Trees was no problem for Blaine in the "Sexy" episode, but Kurt proved to have a little more trouble showing off his naughty side.
The Warblers take on Maroon 5's "Misery" opened up the Regionals episode, "Original Song," and we can't think of any better way to start off any episode of Glee.
The Warblers might not have clinched Regionals with Hey Mondays "Candles" & Pink's "Raise Your Glass," but they clinched the hearts of ladies every where with their silky smooth voices!
Which one is your fave? We're partial to the OG "Teenage Dream," performance but let us know what you think by tweeting us @CELEBUZZ or join the debate on Facebook!

how much can the body handle of this stuff before it turns to fat
how much can the body handle of this stuff before it turns to fat
Depends on WAY TOO MANY factors to be able to say/tell.
when your glycogen stores are full.
when you over eat, it will turn to fat.
They figure generally bandied about is 50g a day. If you consume more fructose than that, it will generally be more likely to be deposited as adipose tissue. If however, your fat intake is very low, it will alter things a good deal. Since the sugar in fruit is only partially fructose(The other part being glucose.) you'd have to eat quite a bit for this to even be something worth worrying about. A couple of pieces of fruit a day will not be a problem.
Syntekz is right. You must consider too many factor,so it's impossible to predict when sugar turn into bodyfat. It's impossible to predict how many sugar you need before it turns in fat.
As Syntekz said,it depends on many factors.There's not a specific limit but if you consume it in the early hours of the day (e.g breakfast) and you're gonna have a workout (or any anaerobic activity as well) the level of the consumption can dramatically increase without putting on fat.
Agree with Wizard
fructose is the only simple sugar that won't get u as fat as other simple sugars; don't worry much about fruits
fructose is not the same as fructose-sucrose, btw
Yes I agree with Podium Kreatin. Just think about that fructose is a insuline independent sugar. So it won't raise your level of insulin that is yes an anabolic hormon,but it's a hormon that contributes to make you fat as obstaculate the activity of other important lipotropic hormons like Gh and Glucagone.
the problem with high frucotse diets it raise fatty acid levels in the blood even though it does not really effect insulin, it does have down side.
If there was a not a good tv programme on it a minute I owuld have wrote more.

I'd love to hear other's experiences with different Hoya pubicalyx.
Which is the easiest pubicalyx to grow for you? Which is the easiest to flower for you? And which is your favorite? thanks! |
Follow-Up Postings:
For me...Pubicalyx 'pink silver' grew fast and bloomed the most. My RHP grew fast and large...but is very stingy with blooms...maybe it needs a little more time. I also have a small 'chimera' RHP that doesn't grow very fast but has bloomed quite early...this one has the darkest bloom out of all the pubicalyxs I own. I love them all...but my favorite will have to be my Royal Hawaiian Purple. It has the prettiest leaves with some reds and purple and silver splashes on them. Royal Hawaiian Purple... This is an old picture...but why its my favorite... |

Wow! I love the top photo --- that's a gorgeous hoya! |
- Posted by greedyghost 5 (My Page) on Mon, Apr 25, 11 at 15:57
I'm partial to 'Chimera,' again because of those showy black leaves. I used to think it was slow, too, but it's really sped up lately (~2 years). Not quite a 'Silver Pink' rival, but no slouch anymore. I do have 'Black Dragon' and as I like all black blooms, I fuss over it quite a bit. The leaves are definitely not as showy as the other pubs, though, so I often have to stare at the shelf for a while before I see it. |
- Posted by lightning96 (My Page) on Mon, Apr 25, 11 at 21:14
From your replies, 'Pink Silver' seems to be the fastest grower. Are its leaves speckled like others? Also, I thought I've heard that pubicalyx 'Chimera' is also known by another name, is that true? |
- Posted by greedyghost 5 (My Page) on Mon, Apr 25, 11 at 23:16
Here's a good example of how black 'Chimera' leaves start out. They are definitely not as heavily flecked as Pug's 'RHP.' Although we are growing in very different conditions, so... It is my understanding that these two may either be the same plant, or very similar. 'Pink Silver' definitely grows at least 2-3 faster than any other Hoya. It's a beast. Its leaves are also quite distinctive from the other pubs, very recognizable - large and heavily speckled. Sorry, I was lazy tonight, so you have to peek through some other plants, but as I say, there is no mistaking them. Here's 'Black Dragon' so you can see how boring its leaves are ^_^, unless you like plain, unspeckled green. The leaves on 'Bright One,' grown in the same conditions as my other pubs, are half the size. 'Red Buttons' is also smaller, although I can't find it right now since I just rearranged. Name something after a button and it's just bound to get lost. I bet it rolled under the bed or something. 'Chimera' leaves are lengthwise similar to 'Silver Pink' but narrower. Of course all these distinctions could be utter nonsense, but as I say, I have been growing my pubs in a group together. |
Sorry, I do not speak English well. It is my opinion. If you prefer pretty leaves, chocolate color, then butoms reed. If you prefer flowers, then silver pink. The flowers smell all day. Thanks You can see my flowers in "pubicalix flowers" |
Here is a link that might be useful: Pubicalyx flowers
Great pics! The pubicalyx are my favorite for sure....for the leaves alone! But when you get flowers it's truly a bonus.....How does everyone grow thier pubicalyx? Has anyone found any particular trick for blooming?? |
Nice Pubicalyx's GG! I can't wait to see your Black dragon bloom! My pink silver used to have a lot of silver speckling but once I started growing it outside in very bright light and some direct sun...I've lost all the silver specks on them. It was a sacrifice for me to getting them to bloom. Pepeuve, nice blooms! I grow all my hoyas about the same as far as potting mix goes, very porous(soil-less) and fast draining. I don't water them as often as some of my other hoyas though...mine don't seem to need as much water at least once they were established. |
Pink Silver is definitely the fastest grower! Mine's hard to keep wound on the hanger! Red Buttons bloomed for me shortly after I got it (it's already an established plant) and RHP is growing new leaves (must not have bright enough light for the purple to show up, but Red Buttons is in the same window and gets the maroon new leaves). Black Dragon I'm looking forward to see bloom and I still want White Dragon. Hard to choose a favorite pubicalyx because they're all so awesome in their own way. Brad AKA Moonwolf |
I only have Pink Silver and Royal Hawaiian Purple and only the Pink Silver has been in my care for any length of time. I do love the pubicalyx varieties because they are easy to grow, have beautiful foliage and the blooms are big and showy. I like the varieties with darker flowers the most but Pink Silver is such a strong grower that you have to love it. GG your Black Dragon does look kinda plain Jane compared to the others but she will be pretty spectacular once she blooms. Mike |
- Posted by greedyghost 5 (My Page) on Wed, Apr 27, 11 at 12:00
/Mike I have to agree with you about 'Pink Silver.' It is soothing to have at least one good buddy you can depend on. If 'Pink Silver' were an animal, it would be a golden retriever. /Pug I have to admit, I don't think that's much of a sacrifice for flowers! I could really go either way with speckling on most plants. I don't love or hate it. I really should have properly photographed those publicalyxes. The dehydrated pusilla leaves that crept into every shot are driving me nuts. I'm going to try the Joni deep soak method starting tonight, and if that doesn't work, I'm going to see about sacrificing a goat to the Hoya gods. Oh yeah! And I found 'Red Buttons' this morning! ^_~ |

I only have three publicalyx, and I don't know the cultivar names, if any that they have. But one has finally started budding up on a penduncle, will be my first publicalyx blooms if they make it. So this one could be my favorite. But I have a question, not all plain green leaved publicalyx are the "Black Dragon" cultivar, or are they? I have a plain green one, and it's about 4 times the size of my other two, and it's never even grown the beginnings of a penduncle. Renee |

I believe they are different, at least from the picture of the green publicalyx that Mike referred us to. 'Black Dragon' blooms as so: I also think your green publicalyx has prettier, more classic publicalyx leaves. 'Black Dragon' almost reminds me of a large oreogena leaf. I'll take a better photograph tonight. If you have a peduncle, I'm VERY excited to see if the blooms will look like the photograph above, which is just stunning. |

Edit: Ooops! I misread you, but I see now that you said one of the other two is budding up. That's interesting that your green one hasn't bloomed yet - from your pictures it looks large enough to. Perhaps it is slower than a typical pub? |
GG - actual growth isn't slower, but it is a little different. The stem seems a little thicker than the other 2 publicalyxs I have, and stiffer also. But the leaves are the classic publicalyx shape. I agree it should be big enough to bloom, I've actually moved it into a little more light this year, where the leaves have just a touch of bronze, we will see if that helps? Renee |

Read More Joseph Needham's Science and Civilisation in China is a monumental piece of scholarship which breaks new ground in presenting to the Western reader a detailed and coherent account of the development of science, technology and medicine in China from the earliest times until the advent of the Jesuits and the beginnings of modern science in the late seventeenth century. It is a vast work, necessarily more suited to the scholar and research worker than the general reader. This paperback version, abridged and re-written by Colin Ronan, makes this extremely important study accessible to a wider public. The present book covers the material treated in volumes I and II of Dr Needham's original work. The reader is introduced to the country of China, its history, geography and language, and an account is given of how scientific knowledge travelled between China and Europe. The major part of the book is then devoted to the history of scientific thought in China itself. Beginning with ancient times, it describes the milieu in which arose the schools of the Confucians, Taoists, Mohists, Logicians and Legalists. We are thus brought on to the fundamental ideas which dominated scientific thinking in the Chinese Middle Ages, to the doctrines of the Two Forces (Yin and Yang) and the Five Elements (wu hsing), to the impact of the sceptical tradition and Buddhist and Neo-Confucian thought.

NEW YORK (CNNMoney) — Is America's pig supply a critical national security asset?
That's a question being raised by the planned $5 billion acquisition of Smithfield Foods by China's Shuanghui International.
The deal would pair Shuanghui, one of China's major meat producers, with Smithfield, the world's biggest processor of pork. It would be the largest acquisition ever of a U.S. company by a Chinese one.
As is common with many high-profile mergers between Chinese and American companies, the proposal has drawn political fire.
"To have a Chinese food company controlling a major U.S. meat supplier is a bit concerning," Sen. Charles Grassley, R.-Iowa, said in a statement shortly after the deal was announced by the companies on Wednesday.
Grassley is urging the federal government to scrutinize the deal, including any involvement that the Chinese government may have in Shuanghui.
Indeed, the acquisition will have to go through several layers of review in Washington. Among the officials taking a look will be the Committee for Foreign Investment in the United States.
Review by the committee, known by the acronym CFIUS, typically has a very narrow focus. Its job is to assess the potential national security effects when a foreign entity seeks to gain control of a U.S. company.
Companies involved in such deals can voluntarily have CFIUS review the transaction, as is the case with the Shuanghui-Smithfield deal. However, the committee can also mandate a review if it believes a deal may raise national security concerns.
The initial review takes 30 days, and up to 45 days if more information is needed. If the committee determines there are national security concerns that cannot be resolved, it can recommend a presidential review. Only the president has the authority to suspend or prohibit a transaction.
Experts said the vast majority of deals that involve foreign direct investment generally don't require such a government review.
Two deals have been blocked by a president on national security grounds. The most recent was in 2012, when President Obama nixed the acquisition of four wind-farm companies by a Chinese-owned firm. The concern was that the wind-farm projects were located near a Navy weapons facility in Oregon.
Experts said it makes sense that the parties in the Shuanghui and Smithfield deal are seeking CFIUS review.
"This is a significant deal involving a Chinese company," said David Fagan, a partner at law firm Covington & Burling in Washington, D.C. "It can cause political scrutiny."
Fagan said it's "prudent" for such transactions to go before the committee "even if the deal is not expected to surface national security concerns."
Two potential issues that could draw a close look at the Shuanghui-Smithfield deal: Smithfield has some contracts to supply meat products to commissaries on or near U.S. military bases, and its Virginia headquarters are near a large U.S. naval complex, according to a source familiar with the matter.
Another worry: Grassley's claim that "unsafe tactics used by some Chinese food companies" raise concern about the future safety of the U.S. food supply if the deal is approved.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture, which regulates Smithfield, "will continue to regulate Smithfield's products regardless of a change in ownership," an agency spokesperson said.
The president of a group representing American operations of global companies said criticism of the deal was "outdated."
"The food supply is part of our critical infrastructure. But that should always be protected regardless of a company's ownership," said Nancy McLernon, president of the Organization for International Investment. "It's imperative that we don't slam the door on job-creating investment by foreign companies based on knee-jerk reactions."

Arlana Barnes (Alcovy), D.J. Hill (Newton) and Raytavious Jackson (Eastside) headline this week's athletes of the week.
Up until Friday, Newton hadn't lost a region game all season. They traveled down the road to face region opponent and county rival Alcovy on Friday, and Friday night the Lady Tigers ended the Lady Rams' unbeaten region record.
The pick and roll is such an astoundingly simple play, yet it can be the foundation of a team's offense and it can be virtually impossible to stop. Under head coach David Baker, the Lady Tigers use the pick and roll to get their offense going almost exclusively. Still, teams have trouble stopping it.
The last time the Lady Rams and the Lady Tigers played, Newton won on a putback buzzer beater from Alexcia Chatman at home. This time Alcovy's girls didn't let the game come down to one final shot as they used the second half to run off to a 60-51 victory over Newton, giving Newton its first region loss of the season.
Ny'tauja Mckinnon, Keidra Sears and Raynesha Clay have been named Newton's, Alcovy's and Eastside's athletes of the week respectively.
Alcovy continued to cement its position as a threat to win the region with a dominant 55-36 win against neighboring county rival, Rockdale County.
Ever wonder what a football team composed of the best players and the best coaches of Newton County's three high schools would look like? Well, we're here to answer that question with the Newton County All-Area football team.
And just like that 2014 is almost over. It's been a big year in sports, especially in this electrifying second half of the year. We've done a year in review of spring sports in the summer, so now it's time we look at some of the best and biggest moments in Newton County sports for the second half of 2014. There were lots of games, signings...etc that could have been included but we only have so much room. Enjoy.
On Friday night, the Alcovy Tigers basketball team welcomed South Gwinnett to town. Going into the game, Alcovy was looking to get its first win of the season. Despite Alcovy playing with outstanding effort, once against they came up short, losing 64-54.
The athletes of the week for the week of December 8, 2014 are Alexcia Chatman (Newton) and Tierra Hodges (Alcovy). Check covnews.com for Eastside's athlete of the week after Monday. See caption below.
The Lady Tigers of Alcovy got their first win in region 2-AAAAAA this season on Friday evening. It wasn't an easy one by any means, as the Lady Wildcats of Lovejoy gave them all they could handle. But, Alcovy fought it out, and displayed some toughness with a 51-46 win over Lovejoy.
Each basketball team from around the county played tonight. Here are the scores for the games from tonight.
Madison Beazley and Autumn Evans signed full scholarships to play softball and attend Andrew College on Friday. The two had an enormous amount of support, as they continue their journey to college.

Two years ago, Alcovy guard LaReco Herring got the call he had been waiting for.
After coming up short a year ago at the podium, the Alcovy wrestling team is looking for another big performance this season. So far, the Tigers look on pace to repeat last season's impressive run.

Many holistic therapists advocate the use of salt lamps as ionisers. The negative ions are thought to neutralise the electrically charged ions present in the everyday environment. They believe these negative ions promote many health benefits including: alleviating respiratory problems, stress, skin conditions and joint pain. However, the majority of the scientific community disregard such claims, supporting their findings through research demonstrating that salt lamps produce no health benefits. So which side is right? We'll look at some of the facts, research and anecdotal claims surrounding the debate.It would be useful to start our investigation by examining how salt therapy has been linked to health improvements. Use of salt therapy is centuries old and was reported as long ago as in Roman salt mines where it was observed many of the workers down these mines were in much better health than their contemporaries. The use of 'salt air' to promote good health was also famously observed by the German Doctor, Herman Spannagel. During second world war air raids he noticed improvements in the health of his patients that took refuge in the salt-rich Kluterthöhle cave. Asthma symptoms, bronchitis and hayfever were alleviated and this was attributed to the clean air produced by the salts in the cave. More recently, a study by The Division of Respiratory Medicine University Hospital, Basel, Switzerland concluded the negative ions produced by air ionisers were ineffective in asthma treatment. They even state that over-reliance on alternative therapies can lead to undertreatment and undesired side effects.However, not all those from the scientific community dismiss the impact of negative ions on health. A 2006 trial by the American Psychiatric Association reported improvements in a sample group of people suffering from Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD). Over a three week period, forty per cent of those exposed to negative ions reported improvements in their depressive symptoms. Despite the majority of the scientific community being sceptical of the benefits attributed to salt lamps, many holistic health practitioners champion their use. They point to many of the positive anecdotal experiences reported by many people who have used them. In fact, many advocates of salt lamps experience so many improvements they end up using them all around their homes and in their workplace. They are particularly popular for use in bedrooms where many claim keeping a salt lamp active throughout the night stops their partners snoring!Those in the field of alternative health also state how scientific thinking does not generally support their methods. Just because something can't be proven in a research study does that mean it can't exist? Is it not possible that any benefits that can arise from the use of salt lamps are unable to be examined adequately with current scientific thinking? There are a lot of things that we all experience which can not be studied in a laboratory and this could be true of the beliefs held by holistic therapists.So, the big question is; do salt lamps work? The answer to this question seems to be down to the individual. Those who need concrete evidence to hold a belief are likely to see salt lamps as little more than an attractive decorative item. For those who believe there's more out there than can be proven by science then a salt lamp could be viewed as a catalyst to health improvements.Reprint RightsYou may reproduce the content of this article onto your own website.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Trio for Piano, Violin and Cello, Op. 8, is a composition in G minor composed by Frédéric Chopin and dedicated to Antoni_Radziwiłł. It has four movements:
- Allegro con fuoco
- Scherzo
- Adagio sostenuto
- Finale: Allegretto
The piece has established itself as a core member of the piano trio repertoire. In a letter from August 1830, Chopin speculates whether he should have written the violin line for viola, believing that the viola's timbre would "accord better with the cello". Emanuel Ax is of the opinion that it is perhaps fortunate that Chopin scored the work for a standard piano trio, since so few trios with viola exist.
A typical performance lasts approximately 25 minutes.

Great highlighter! My fave. Great for that healthy glow. This little bottle can lift your cheekbones, make your eyes stand out, make your nose look thinner, emphasise your cupid's bow... a little miracle in a (slightly-too-expensive-but-worth-it) bottle! It's very easy to apply (has a nail varnish type applicator) and stays put all day (and night!)
At a special makeover event, a BeneFit SA applied this on my cheekbones, inner corner of my eyes, and my cupid's bow. Wow! This highlighter works way better than a regular eyeshadow or powder highlighter. It's reflective enough to give me a glowy, ethereal look without being glittery. I had previously been using MAC's Mineralize Skinfinish in Glissade, but the glitter was getting to me. This product is the perfect consistency-liquidy enough to blend well, but not too watery. I think the packaging is cute, and I think the brush makes it easier to apply. The price is a bit high, but there's so much product that it will last for ages. I'm definitely going to be using this every day!
How did I live for so long without this product? LOVE IT. Very easy to apply, will absolutely buy again.
I love this product because it lasts forever and doesn't have me going back to the cosmetic counter all the time to get it, one of the many evils of the capitalistic cosmetic industry! So I really appreciate this in that it saves me time and money. Its another wonderful invention by Benefit, a name I'm starting to trust. Its so light when applied and you dont feel that its on which is very important to me, it provides a dewy glow to the face and can be mixed with foundation for the J. Lo impeccable look. I like to apply this in the corner of my eyes, browbone and cheekbones. I'm very please with this product and highly recommend it. :)
I love High Beam!
It is the perfect highlighter. It looks very pretty & natural.
The bottle lasts forever!
I love this product so much! This is the most beautiful highlighter for pale skin. I used this for prom and the pictures came out AMAZINGG. It makes you look like an angel, i swear by it! I apply it right on my cheek bones and under my brow bone, making a "C" on the side of my face. Be sure to blend very well, this product is not completely seamless. If you ever feel pasty, this will make you feel like a porcelain doll.

I find myself grabbing this product quite often, as it is a great highlighter; however, I do have a few gripes:
1.] If applied improperly, and the edges not gently blended, it looks like you have opalescent nail polish on your face.
2.] It doesn't seem to last more than a few hours, and my face is not a -complete- cesspool of sebum like some folk. The same thing happens if you blend it a bit too much - it disappears.
3.] Please do the general public a service, and do not use this if you have craters for pores. Sorry, you will not "glow".
I have borrowed friends' bottles of this and used it in Sephora, but I'm just not sure that this would be worth putting on every day. I would probably only use it when I need to look really fantastic... and at this point I don't see myself spending that much on something I won't use every day. I love it, but I wish it was less expensive or came in different sizes or something. I also wish it came in a squeeze tube.


text: My cousin had brought her boyfriend home from college and a whole bunch of our family went out to a barbecue place with them. My sister was probably 6 or 7 at the time, still young enough to be losing teeth. Halfway through the meal, she does just that - loses a tooth and becomes frantic that she can't find it. The entire family, probably close to 8 people, joins in the search. Neighboring tables are watching the drama unfold and even the waiter comes by to help. At one point, my mom thinks she finds the tooth in her boot tread, but it turns out to be a rock. After 15 minutes of hardcore searching, we give up and go back to our meals, laughing hysterically. A few minutes later, there's the tooth! In my mom's chicken… The new boyfriend, who was from Alabama, told my cousin that we were the biggest rednecks he'd ever met. We're from DC.

The "9-9-9″ plan isn't dead. In fact, it may just get a second life with Newt Gingrich.
Herman Cain, the former pizza magnate and presidential candidate behind the catchphrase/tax plan of yestermonth, told ABC News in an interview today that Gingrich is seriously considering adopting the 9-9-9 platform as his own.
"9-9-9 will be a major consideration," Cain said. "That is why he asked me to co-chair his jobs, work, and tax advisory council."
The proposal calls for personal income tax, corporate income tax and a national sales tax to each be set at 9 percent.
Gingrich confirmed to ABC News in an interview that he promised to consider the plan, though he said he's unlikely to take it on fully. The candidate pointed out that he already has a fairly comprehensive tax plan of his own.
"It's certainly one of things that will be on the table," Gingrich said. "I've already got a pretty comprehensive tax plan, so I'm also going to ask Herman to look at my tax plan."
Cain has endorsed Gingrich, and the former candidate said the ex-speaker's pledge to "take it at serious consideration" was a factor in his decision. Gingrich didn't promise to adopt it, Cain said.
In an interview with ABC News' "Nightline," Cain said Gingrich has called him "several times" in the past few weeks, and he called Gingrich "the only candidate with a commitment for fundamental reform of our tax system."
