Fuchsia magellanica versus Fuchsia 'Gartenmeister Bonstedt'
Has anyone out there grown both of these Fuchsias? Magellanica is a large, 4'-6' shrub that is supposed to be hardy to zone 6, and blooms from June until frost. "Gartenmeister Bonstedt" is much smaller at 18" also blooms all summer, but is not winter hardy in most of the US. I believe I can find room for the shrub in a partially sunny location close to the house, and like the idea that it is winter hardy--unlike the Gartenmeister Bonstedt.
Has anyone tried magellanica, and did the hummingbirds like it? Was it easy care, or did it require lots of pampering? Did it have a nice growth habit, or did it get scraggly, or have any other negative qualities?
Oh, and by the way, I'm pretty sure that the correct spelling is F-U-C-H-S-I-A, not Fuschia. I don't mean to be a pain, but this must be one of the most misspelled genera on this forum. It's such a major hummer plant, that I thought it would be nice to mention this.
Here is some past feedback from a hummer gardener down south on Magellanica
[I never saw a hummingbird even take a second glance at either plant!There was a honeysuckle blooming right next to that container that was regularly visited so the birds certainly saw the plants but were not interested.
That was my one & only with it & I won't try it again. The plant honestly did not do much for me either.]
A couple of us here in the northeast were going to try it last year. I never got around to it and I am not sure if the other person who was going to trial it ever did either. As far as its hardiness goes. I was told it would have to still be planted in a protected area and heavily mulched and that it still may be marginal.
I had a baby F. magellanica 'Aurea' (the one with the yellow/green leaves with red veins) in a small container last year and my lady hummer most certainly did go to it. Only thing is, unless you can find a large mature one, these appear to be slow-growing small fuchsias and it seems that it would be a bit hard for a hummer to get down to the ground to get at the flowers if planted in the ground. I understand that they can eventually shoot up some stems to a couple feet, but they are marginal up here as Penny noted and I can't see how they could get very large in colder areas.
I had mine for 2 years in a container that I put in a hanger on my rail, but this last summer was so continually hot that it eventually gave up and dropped its leaves, and it never resprouted when it cooled. I brought it inside for winter, but I'm sure it's a gonner. :-( I can imagine what it might do in the warmer Zone areas on the east coast - ie., it would probably burn up even if it could survive the winters. I think that's why the hardy fuchsias seem to do better on the west coast (more specifically, the PNW) because of the mild winters and cool summers.
But here it was last year, with the flowers right near the bee balm and B&B salvia, which is probably why it was used so much.
It was wild to watch my little one try to go upside down to peck at the flowers!
All you can do is experiement to see what your local hummers will be willing to sample. You might be surprised!
I had a regular red/purple fuchsia and two hardy fuchsia that I think was "Gartenmeister Bonstedt" and the hummers liked the hardies the best. They went to both, but the hardy was the favorite after the lady in red and black and blue salvias. I think this year I'm going to go with just the hardy salvia as it was much easier to grow and cheaper by far at Lowes and Home Depot and they had them fairly early in the season too. If you try the Magellanica, let us know how it does as I'm always open to NEW stuff!!!
Just as an FYI - this is what the top of F. magellanica 'Aurea' looks like:
In more sun, the leaves are more yellow, with the red veins. In shade, it greens up. It is a pretty fuchsia - not just for the flowers but the leaves too.
Hey Jenny,
Glad to seen you have made time to come back The Gang has been asking about you. Also glad to see your info on Magellanica I overwintered my 2 gartenmeisters and took a dozen cuttings which all rooted and are also growing and waiting for a warm spell to go outside and do their thing.
Hey Penny. Will be checking that spot out a bit more now. One of my sisters had a baby about a month ago, so needless to say I've been busy with my new little neice and have done more lurking than posting until recently due to whipping up some baby blankies.
I remember last year trying to find gartenmeisters and finally saw a few in mid-late summer when it was way too hot to have them outside. Just trying to find room for any more stuff will be difficult. LOL
Thanks Jenny, Penny, and Glo (why can't your name be Henny, or Kenny, Lenny, or Denny?--then I could write Jenny, Penny, and Henny! Just kidding, of course. Is Glo short for Gloria?
Anyway, Glo, I'm a little puzzled by your response, and want to make sure I understand correctly. It sounds like you've grown two kinds of Fuchsia. One you describe as the "regular red/purple fuchsia," and the other is a hardy one called (you think) Gartenmeister Bonstedt. I'm assuming that when you mentioned the regular red/purple fuchsia, you meant the one that you frequently find sold in hanging planters at the Home Depots or grocery stores . The flowers are more doubled and fancier than the simpler, species types. I think I've got you straight on that one. Is that what you mean?
As for the hardy ones you mentioned, I'm puzzled because Gartenmeister Bonstedt is not hardy in northern climes, so I'm wondering if it was actually a hardy Fuchsia that you grew (like magellanica), or whether you truly meant Gartenmeister Bonstedt, which isn't hardy. It's really important to know, because it gets to the heart of my question, and your experience may help me decide which to grow. You said that you had two plants of this, and that the hummers liked it better than the regular one. However, I'm still uncertain which variety it might have been.
If you could clarify this, it would really be helpful.
Thanks. I don't know if I have the strength to figure out how to post there, but I did a search on magellanica and read a few things.
I'm leaning towards Gartenmeister Bonstedt (or is it Bonstadt?) even though it isn't winter hardy. I did manage to overwinter a Gloxinia once, but in general I just lose patience with that sort of thing. I like plants better when they're outdoors and they survive mostly on their own. As soon as they come inside, they become a chore, but maybe I'll try the Gartenmeister anyway.
If you don't want to fool with a large plant over the winter take several cutting and root them. The root very easily in potting soil. I rooted 12 cuttings in less than 2 weeks. They won't grow alot over the winter but they will grow enough to set out in spring. I didn't cut my Gartenmeisrer Bondstadt (Bonstedt) over the winter and I really should had cut it back at least 1/3. They require very little care inside.Keep away from direct heat and don't let soil completely dry out.
Jenny, Just realized I was remiss in thanking you for posting the photos of magellanica. They're nice photos, and they do give me some sense of the growth habit. Since, as you say, they're only marginally hardy here, I'm thinking I may settle for the non-hardy Gartenmeister Bonstedt. I'm dreading trying to overwinter it, even with Penny's helpful reassurances about cuttings, cool rooms (my mother's house is generally overheated), and keeping moist.
Penny, plants are happier outside, and it always feels sort of a desperate thing to try to keep them going through those long winter months, say October into May. That's why I usually shy away from non-hardy plants. Heck, that's 7-8 months of winter this far north! Can they really be kept alive that long?! I know you can do it, but I'm not sure about me. I know you're even farther north than me, so I guess it's possible, but I still feel a bit leery. On the other hand, the Fuchsias are cool-looking, they'd do well in my semi-shade conditions, and the hummers like 'em. I'm just gonna have to make a decision pretty soon, as planting time is fast approaching.
Thanks for the advice, folks!
No problem Kristin! :-) From what I have seen of the gartenmeister - the flowers seem easier for the hummers to get their beaks into and their color is all red as opposed to the magellanica's red/purple.
I think if you can find a spot that has a cool shady window, then that might be a good place. Heck, even a bathroom, with its humidity, might be fine. It would be cheaper to overwinter it and make cuttings rather than try to find one for the next season.
I know what you mean about overwintering and the Oct -> May long haul, which many of us do with our subtropicals, tropicals, and marginal warm temperates. At least with the fuchsia, it can be in a dark location. I have plants that need moderate to high light and humidity, so I have humidifiers going all winter (which benefits me too)!
Gartenmeister is not always available up here and last year the price doubled from 3.99 for a three inch pot to 5.99 for a 2 inch pot and it was much later than when I have bought them in the past. I figured the price would only keep going up so that is why I decided to overwinter mine. I also overwinter one Salvia guaranitica Black and Blue. The first one I bought was again 3.99 and I left it out over the winter. Last year I had to request the planbt and I paid 16.99 for it. Our garden centers don't offer good hummer plants. They have they same old garden variety plants that everyone has so I either have to grow everything, take cuttings and root them, order plants and pay an arm and a leg or overwinter.
I grow both in south Jersey. Magellanica can be hardy here, mine came from a friends, one overwintered outside in the ground. The problem for us is while both do better than other fuchsias in our hot humid summers, neither is really very happy in mid summer. Magellanica in particular shouldn't be given too much sun. Mine did fairly well in a mostly shaded area of the yard and did attract hummingbirds. Oddly, Gartenmeister didn't seem to get very many visits last year, whereas the year before it was hit constantly. You've also got to be careful when putting this plant out in late spring. It is very tender and the slightest wind will cause breakage. More than once a perfectly winter grown specimen has been reduced to a tattered mess by May's wind.
Thanks "wardda." I really appreciate hearing about everyone's experiences with these plants. It sound like both varieties would be happiest in the Pacific Northwest, but I may still try one of them if I can just make up my mind which one!
I grow both of these along with many others. The hardy magellanicas are bushes planted in the ground in full sun -- when well-fed and watered over the summer, it is loaded with flowers and attracts many hummers. On colder winters, they sometimes die back to the ground but sprouts fast when it warms up.
I grow the upright Gartenmeisters in big pots. It is less hardy and needs care to overwinter, which I don't bother since I can buy well-rooted starts in 2" pots for 50 - 99 cents in spring.
If you can't find them locally, you might consider mail-order... I did a google search and a dozen vendors popped up. Also, don't forget plants that are similar to Gartenmeister, like Koralle or Firecracker. Look for red or orange triphylla types. Firecracker is particularly nice with its variegated foliage, and looks great with white tuberous begonias.
I like to grow upright fuchsias with trailing types at their base. A nice combo is Koralle or Gartenmeister in the center with Autumnale and magellanica aurea at their base, with sweet alyssum or salmon impatiens as fillers. (Autumnale has gorgeous red/orange/lime green leaves, magellanica aurea is lime/yellow leaves.)
Thanks, Rita, for the info and suggestions. You're lucky to be in the Pacific Northwest when it comes to fuchsias.
What I end up with may depend on what I can find at local garden centers. I'm thinking maybe I don't want to go to the expense of mail order for plants that may not really be ideal for my climate. It's not quite as hot and humid as the east coast cities, but we still can have some hellish heatwaves. I'm getting the impression that the fuchsias wouldn't like this. Also, our fairly harsh winters could hinder success with magellanica. I think I'm just gonna see what I can find locally, and if the price is right, settle on that.
Thanks, everyone, for sharing your experiences!
My 2 year old Fuchsia magellanica looks very fragile and small. It is suppostly should reach 7 feet however mine is about 5 inches. I wrap it in the burlap in the winter and have it in the shady spot during the day. What can I do to promote the growth? For the winter, should I dig it out and replant it in the pot take inside?

Yields: 12 cupcakes
U.S. | Metric | Conversion chart |
- Unsalted butter, for tins
- All-purpose flour, for tins
- Devil's Food Cake Batter
- Thick Ghostly Chocolate Frosting
- 18 large marshmallows, halved lengthwise
- 72 ounce(s) white fondant
- Cornstarch, for surface
- 24 chocolate-candy-coated sunflower seeds, for eyes
- Royal Icing and Fleurs-de-lis, optional
- Preheat oven to 350. Line 12 cups of a jumbo-muffin tin (each 1-cup capacity) with extra-large cupcake liners. Butter and flour 12 cups of a mini-muffin tin, and tap out excess flour.
- Divide batter among muffin tins, filling each cup 1/2 full. Bake, rotating tins halfway through, until testers inserted in centers come out clean, 8 to 9 minutes for mini cupcakes, and 40 to 45 minutes for large cupcakes. Let cool in pans on wire racks. (Cupcakes can be wrapped in plastic, and frozen for up to 1 month; thaw at room temperature before frosting.)
- Remove cupcake liners from large cupcakes, trim tops of each cupcake to create a flat surface, and reserve tops for another use. Flip cupcakes over. Spread 1 teaspoon frosting on top of each cupcake. Arrange 3 marshmallow halves on top of each, cut sides down, pressing them into frosting. Spread 1 teaspoon frosting over each marshmallow trio.
- Trim tops of each mini cupcake to create a flat surface, and reserve tops for another use. Press 1 mini cupcake, cut side down, onto frosting-topped marshmallows.
- Spread 1/4 cup frosting over each cupcake stack to create a crumb coat, leaving a 1/4-inch unfrosted rim around bottom. Refrigerate until firm, about 30 minutes.
- Divide fondant into 12 equal pieces. On a surface lightly dusted with cornstarch, roll a piece of fondant into a 1/4-inch-thick, 10-inch-wide circle. Center fondant over top of 1 frosted cupcake, smoothing downward and creating ruffles around the bottom. Press candy-coated seeds into soft fondant for eyes, remove, dot with royal icing to secure if desired, and then press seeds into icing. Repeat with remaining fondant, cupcakes, and seeds. Let fondant harden slightly at room temperature before serving.

But in a whole new fashion!
Thanks to a facebook friend, who mentioned that my teaser lines from my upcoming release, The Temperate Warrior, went well with her coffee, I decided to use the WMU Wednesday as a means to tempt, satisfy, and wake up my readers, just as the old version did--but without the threat of copyright infringement. So, here we go!
Today's segment comes from a scene where Gustaf Ræliksen is stripping down for a bath and Æsa, the heroine, is admiring her warrior in all his glory. I hope you enjoy!
He stood at the water's edge, naked as the day he was born, dipping a toe beneath the surface.
Æsa stood motionless, admiring the man who, for the first time in his life, hadn't a care in the world.
Under the afternoon sky, his legs were long and powerful from years of carrying a warrior's body across steep mountains and snow-drifted valleys. Dusted with golden hair, his skin was tan, smooth, and unmarred, save for a few scars across his wide back. In no way did the old battle wounds tarnish his manly appeal. If anything, the marks reminded her of the kind of man he was and how much he had willingly endured to uphold his family's honor. From the blemishes carved into his skin, to the gentle, compassionate heart beating in his chest, Gustaf was the definition of chivalry.
Slowly, he walked into the water, his eyes on his feet. The rippling stream rushed passed his ankles and eventually over his knees as he strolled further out. When it rose above his waist, he looked over his shoulder. "'Tis warm."
"And you are a liar," Æsa scoffed.

If Warehaus 57 has any one particular ethos, it can be found on a small coffee table that abuts one wall of the cafe. On its surface, spelled out in yellow tiles, is the sentence, "Think About Something."
In its four-year existence, Warehaus 57 has become a gathering place for Broward County's acoustic music and literary scenes, a location for those who seek a progressive, open-minded, cultural environment. Live acts play "the window" Thursday through Sunday of each week, and five different literary groups hold readings or workshops in the cafe each month. Just popping into the place for a cup of joe can easily result in a lengthy conversation with a local actress, writer, musician, or artist.
"Eating in the Warehaus is like having lunch with Federico Fellini," according to Jack "No Bus Fare" Johnson. A singer-songwriter living in Hollywood, Johnson recently recorded an ode to the cafe, titled simply "Warehaus 57," on his latest CD. "Warehaus embodies an effort to support genuine, not derivative, art," he stated recently via e-mail. "For that reason it deserves to be immortalized. Also, they serve great spinach pie."
The overall flavor of Warehaus 57 is informal and communal. The sax-and-flute team, known as Amereida, is more informally known as Jorge and Stephanie, who happen to be husband and wife. This particular Friday night, a crowd of 75 or so stand outside the cafe watching the duo trade solos on one of their world-beat compositions. After the song's end, Jorge announces that tonight is their one-year anniversary playing Warehaus 57 and invites everyone to join them for a free glass of wine. The glasses have already been poured and set on trays by Lauren Tellman, Warehaus 57's owner.
Jorge and Stephanie have performed on many stages in their musical career, including one at the prestigious Montreaux Jazz Festival in Switzerland, but Warehaus 57 is where they feel most comfortable.
"People here understand, they get your music here. It's in the air," says Stephanie, a petite woman with long curly hair, wearing a sleeveless leather vest with zippers across her chest. This piece of couture, like all the clothing for sale at Warehaus 57, was designed by Tellman. "People are relaxed and open here," Stephanie continues. "It's a very open-minded place."
Zac, a local multi-instrumentalist and songwriter, agrees. "Other places don't have the same vibe, the contact," he says. He also points out that he particularly likes playing the window. "I can play for people walking by who would never hear my music otherwise, from senior citizens to kids. I have direct access to the people."
The shop attracts equal attention from the South Florida literary community. John Dufresne, who teaches writing at FIU and has authored two highly acclaimed novels, Louisiana Power and Light and Love Warps the Mind a Little, holds a free fiction-writing workshop at the coffee shop once a month. According to Dufresne, Warehaus 57 has put Hollywood on the literary map.
"This was needed, and we didn't know we needed it until it happened," says Dufresne from his home in Davie. "I don't even know of anything like it in Miami. It's like an educational center in a way, but also a funky, informal kind of place. The people who go there define it. Everybody knows now that you check to see what's happening at Warehaus 57 before you make your plans."
Tellman deserves the credit for establishing this civilized outpost. A 37-year-old Pennsylvania native more apt to wear overalls or jeans than the exotic outfits she designs, Tellman moved to South Florida in the late '70s to attend Miami's Bauder Fashion College. She eventually established a reputation for her gritty leather fashions and saw her work featured in magazines such as Penthouse, Details, and Seventeen. In the late '80s, Tellman opened her own business, selling '40s-style clothing buttons, and watched it grow from 2 employees to 55. When her buttons fell out of fashion, Tellman closed her doors. In 1994 she opened Warehaus 57, which also serves as the name of her clothing line.
The cafe was originally intended as a design studio where Tellman could create and display her work. She did entertain the idea of adding a coffee bar, but times were tough. In fact, she lived in the back of the store for the first nine months of business and had no car.
"It was an interesting time," recalls Tellman. "I had my dog and my cat with me until the health inspector kicked them out. It was hard, but I still look at it as a happy period, because I was designing and meeting a lot of new friends. There were a lot of artists in Hollywood then. Harrison Street was all artists' studios."

The Shalani Soledad-Roman Romulo wedding finally has a wedding date, and it's coming sooner than expected. Here are the initial details:
When: January 22, 2012
Where: St. Benedict Church in Ayala Westgrove Heights
We've found this pic of the inside of the very modern village church where Shalani will make her bridal walk (photo credit: mynewcondo.com.ph). Quite uncharacteristic, if we might say, but in line with the couple's wish to have a small, simple wedding.

Since there has been a lot of repetitive posts in Paradox forums with the question about from where to download the No Time Limit mod, i would like to have it available also here. Since this mod is basically a diffrerent HoI.exe file i don't know if Paradox will support this mod by putting it in here. If Paradox cannot post the file in this thread, then here is the other link from where to get it: DELETED-TRACID
Mod: No Time Limit v1.1 (for HoI 1.04)
Author: DiegoV (a.k.a. Timur Lang)
DISCLAIMER: This software is not associated with Paradox Entertainment and the author do not takes any responsibility for any adverse effects this utility might have on your game or other software. Use it at your own risk!
FEATURES: Hearts of Iron is designed to simulate 1936 to 1948 period. This utility allows you to design and play any scenario since 1000 AD to 2199 AD.
This patch modifies HOI.exe. Backup of original file is automatically stored as HoI.exe.bak. To restore the original file, delete the HOI.exe modified and rename Hoi.exe.bak to HOI.exe.
This patch is made for version 1.04 of Hearts of Iron.
1) Extract the files from the zip archive into game directory (e.g. C:>Program Files>Strategy First>HOI).
2) Start no_time_limit11.exe. Select the button 'Select target file to patch' and select the file HOI.exe. Press Start to apply this patch.
1. In the globaldata part of scenario (EUG file) change entry stardate (e.g. change year = 1930).
2. Start the game and play.
1. In the globaldata part of scenario (EUG file) change entry enddate (e.g. change year = 1980)
2. Start the game and play.
[b]NOTE[b]: The enddate variable is not considered by the game. This happens with or without the no time limit (Try changing The Road to War (1936-1948).eug endate to 1945, save the game, then open the save game and you will see that appears endate = 1948).
Because of this issue, the No Time Limit 1.1 will make the game to end in 2199 unless there's only one faction left which will make the game to finish earlier.
That it is not so serious, the creators of scenarios can solve it with an event:
event = {
id = 50100 # or another id number
name = "End of the scenario"
desc = "You have now reached the end of the scenario date, you can leave him by clicking the 'Surrender' button (Also you can see the final victory points). But if you want it you can continue playing the game. Note that the events and modifications of this scenario are contemplated to play until this date, if you continue playing there will no longer be new events or other additional effects."
style = 0
date = { day = x month = x year = x } # the date that finishes the scenario
action_a = {
name = "OK"
command = { }

Swindon Hotels
Book a hotel in Swindon, a charming town in Wiltshire, south-west England, that has been a popular tourist spot for many years due to its charming appearance, friendly atmosphere and interesting history. Best Western has one hotel in Swindon centre and one on the outskirts of the city, a perfect launching pad for exploring the surrounding countryside. Our central hotel, in Blunsdon, is beautiful, luxurious and stylish, the perfect place to spend a UK city break.
Swindon neighbourhoods
Most visitors get their bearings after leaving their Swindon hotel by finding the romantic and interesting Old Town, the city's core in pre-railway days. Some of the attractions to keep your eyes out for here are the Wood Street shopping area, the stately and impressive areas of green known as Lawns Park, as well as the impressive Swindon Museum and Art Gallery. The original city dates back to the Saxon days of Britain and the city's name is believed to have derived from the Anglo-Saxon words 'swine' (pig) and 'dun' (hill). The city evolved and developed over the next thousand years, reaching a particular peak of population and output during the Industrial Revolution when the settlement became linked to London and Bristol by railway and the construction canals brought more trade to the region.
Shopping in Swindon
Booking a hotel in Swindon will give you access to some great shopping facilities. As is common to most English settlements, the quirkier and more original of the shops and boutiques are located in the older part of town, whereas the main high-street brands, bargains and deals can be found in the more recently built-up areas and malls, especially that in Brunel, home to numerous cafes, play areas and hundreds of different shops. The former Great Western Railway works has now been transformed in the Swindon Design Outlet, peddling top names at bargain prices. If you are into a more traditional feel to your shopping experience, our Swindon hotel gives you easy access to the local farmers market which pops up at least once a month and specialises in homemade goods, including chutneys, pies, quiches and even cheeses - a delightful way to spend an afternoon before returning to your hotel in Swindon centre.
Eating and drinking in Swindon
In recent decades, Swindon has become a very international settlement and this is reflected in its wide variety of cuisines and restaurants. In this cosmopolitan metropolis, you will find authentic Italian, Chinese, Thai, Indian, Mexican, Turkish and French establishments serving wonderful dishes all over town. For the less adventurous there are, of course, hundreds of chain restaurants and more traditional English gastro pubs and restaurants. Walk down to Commerical Road or Regent Street from your Swindon hotel for a nice, quiet drink as these areas contain some of the stand-out watering holes including the Glue Pot on Emlyn Square or The Five Bells in Wootton Bassett. This town, half-way along the South Coast, is a great centre for locally-brewed cider, ales, beer and even wines.
Culture and nightlife in Swindon
As well as the architecture, shopping areas and places to eat and drink, a Swindon hotel will put you right on the doorstep of a host of attractions and entertainment. The Swindon Steam Museum is award winning and traces the historical journey of the Great Western Railway taking visitors in a journey through the magical period of Steam travel, when workers from all around this great country were ferried together, bringing the city to life. For avid bookworms, the Bodleian Library's book depository (the library proper is located in Oxford) is found in the city outskirts. It contains over 153 miles of shelving, including 3,224 bays with 95,000 shelf levels, as well as 600 map cabinets to hold 1.2 million maps, periodical, magazines and other items. The Old Town attracts audiences after a much more intimate evening, offering art-house films, stand-up nights and small-scale musical venues. The attractive Wyvern Theatre, built in the 1970s is the town's major venue for big musical numbers, pantomime, drama and other performances. A night here will complete your stay in our hotel in Swindon, another perfect night out during your perfect UK city break.

The deal that I make with my imaginary editor here at NYVC is that I do a write up for every race I participate in, and I tend to take this made up contract very seriously because I trend towards the obsessive. So in order to be able to move forward and write about last night's race at FBF I need to describe the previous two races I have participated in.
CRCA Masters Throwdown, August 18
I spent the morning with a pack of moist, older men. Dave T and Greg O really really wanted to not be associated with myself and my moist brethren, and attacked the race about 400 times. Eventually we granted their wishes and they went away with another poor bastard. Dave T won.
FBF August 21
No wind plus big pack plus the race for the overall means a sprint finish where I finish 12th-ish. I was trying to get away with Rob B in this race, as he was the only GC contender who needed to break away. This trying to get away led to nothing, and I was a tired person trying to sprint.
FBF August 28
To me the last race at FBF signals the end of summer. In the time that we have been racing at FBF this year, both the Giro and Tour have come and gone, and the Vuelta has finished its first week. By my calculations that means that the FBF series is 2 and 1/3 grand tours long, and this season it has really felt like it.
There was an unusual wind blowing last night—a headwind into the finish—and while a wind from that direction isn't necessarily a classic FBF crosswind, it had possibilities. Rob B and Johan B were separated by one point in the battle for the overall title, so they would be marking each other all night, and being a greedy and conniving racer, I decided to use that fact to my advantage. Whereas last week, I was trying to get away with Rob, this week, I knew his presence would be the death knell of any break attempt.
With these facts in mind, we shoved off and started racing. I am an impatient person, and I knew that with such a big pack, the race would need to take some hits before it had a chance at breaking up. So I jumped a few times to try and break things up, because, you know, it needed to be done. These jumps did not succeed in breaking up anything, and with three to go, we were all together.
Then I did a dumb thing.
I knew that Axis had three guys in the race, and I also knew that two of those guys (Danny and Paul) had been involved in moves (with Danny winning in this manner a few weeks before) near the end of the race. But despite knowing these facts I decided to jump on the acceleration of Keith R, which was the set up move for Danny and Paul. Keith jumped, I followed, we slowed, and I watched and swore as Danny and Paul countered. They got a gap and I was amazed that I could be so stupid.
Shortly thereafter, hope came in the form of Leszek S in his new Flying Aces kit. Danny, Paul, Stefan S of NYVC and Marc C of Wonder Wheels were all ahead of us on the road. Leszek jumped to bridge, and I followed. We (well, mostly he, I was still gassed from falling for the set up attack) worked and eventually bridged after about a half lap. When we made it to the front it was myself, Marc, Stefan, Paul and Leszek. Danny had broken a spoke and had to drop out of the race. The five of us, realizing that there was no turning back, set about trying to murder ourselves by pedaling.
If you look at the Strava data, the fastest lap of our breakaway was the first one. This is when we established out gap. The second lap of our break was slightly slower, as we maintained our gap, and the third and final lap of the race was when we decided who would win.
Going into the last lap, I knew that Leszek was the fastest sprinter amongst us, and I also knew that he would be shutting down late moves in order to be able to use that sprint. Paul jumped just before turn two, and Leszek covered, which showed me that Leszek was riding strong, and that my hypothesis was right. We regrouped between turns two and three, and I put myself in the rotation behind Leszek. At turn three, Stefan jumped and had a small gap, he was dragged back, and I thought that he had shot the one bullet in his musket. We regrouped again, and I found my way to Leszek's backside as we rolled between turn three and four. Then Stefan craftily jumped again, Leszek got up to close, hit a hole and cursed as the air left his rear tire. While my tired mind was buffering as I was downloaded a new plan, Stefan was immolating himself with effort on the front. I was left to try and close the gap. As we hit the last turn I got up to jump, Marc came around me and left me for dead. I wobbled my way to the line and was passed by Paul for third. I finished fourth and Leszek rode in on a flat rear tire for fifth, which gave him third in the overall standings.
I congratulated Stefan afterwards on a well deserved win. I collected my fourth place winnings, and turned them into a beer and a burrito in celebration of the end of another summer.
I believe that you are all microchipped, and that your v2k programming has a far greater effect on winning and race results than any actual skill.
I would like to thank Charlie and the crew and all the Masters Cat3's who beat my ass on a weekly basis, chasing you all around that loop has definitely made me a stronger and (sometimes even) smarter bike racer.
Also, thanks to Schmalz for the post race write ups, sometimes I feel like I was in a different race then I realize "oh, so that is what the hell was going on up front while I was trying to stay connected..."
Cheers all!
No idea on the KOM jersey, but I own the most (passive) aggressive jersey
Who won the KOM polka dot jersey p/b Champ Sys last night?
Charlie I and his team:
Thank you for another great season of racing.
Here are the results from last night's race and the final overall standings for the GC and Sprint Competitions:
A big thank you to all our sponsors: The Law Firm of Lucarelli & Castaldi, Breakaway Courier Systems, Cannondale and Bont.
I would also like to thank our officials (Denise Haggins and Maurice Charles), Alan Atwood for always having the results ready within minutes of the race ending, Josh Davis (the Pro/123 pacer), my dad - Mr. I (the Cay 3-4 pacer), Daniel Wong and Kim (registration crew), the Flatlands Volunteer Ambulance Corps and all the marshals.
It's a lot of work organizing a 4 month series but last night's awards ceremony makes it all worth it. Congrats to all the winners and thanks to all the riders for one of the best FBF series we ever had!
I'm already looking forward to next year.
Charlie Issendorf
Race Director
Kissena Cycling Club
Don't sleep on Stefan, he is not only strong but he can also sprint as he has proven many times this season.
Thanks to Charlie I., all the volunteers and the timing company for all their efforts through the summer. Now, let's work on getting something set-up out on Long Island too.
the Flying Aces? What happened to Team Organic? And where the hell have all the Kissenas gone?
FBF Tuesdays is the best NYC racing series, hands-down. Thank you, Charlie.
And Dan, I'll miss seeing you and your antics... until next season @ FBF.

Hello all. Hope you're doing well.
Right now The HOAX is in its final stages of post production with a few minor edits and the addition of some graphics, animations and a potential music score. This film is also being thoroughly reviewed by an entertainment attorney which will include a few more meetings and paper work.
Sorry for all the delays with keeping everyone updated. This week I am headed back to Ogden, Utah from Dallas, TX for a temporary work assignment before my big move to Austin at the end of the year.
Additional updates will follow shortly.
FYI: I see our good buddy, John Carona, CEO of homeowners' association (HOA) management company Associations, Inc. (Associa), the largest HOA management company in the USA, was just voted out of the Texas State Senate after serving 24 years in the legislature:

Hosted and produced by Shu Bartholomew, On The Commons is a weekly radio show dedicated to discussing the many issues surrounding mandatory homeowner associations, the fastest growing form of residential housing in the nation.
Proponents of HOAs will have us believe that every horror story, every abusive board, every corrupt manager is just "an isolated incident".
If something happens once one could argue that it is an isolated incident, if it happens twice, you might believe that it is a coincidence but when there is a pattern of abuses and the same stories keep popping up all over the country, year after year after year, it is clearly a problem. In the case of HOA abuses, it is a serious problem.
Joining us On The Commons this week is Rodney Gray. Rodney started out as a stage and screen actor and with college degrees in film and business, making documentaries was a natural transition for him. With several awards for acting and producing short documentaries, Rodney produced a documentary on the "patterns of abuse" in HOAs called The Hoax.
On The Commons is broadcast every Saturday from 2-3 PM ET on Radio Fairfax. In the Northern Virginia area, On The Commons can be heard on Cox Cable, Channel 37 and Verizon Channel 37. On Comcast channel 27 in Reston in addition to several more cable channels all across Northern Virginia. To listen LIVE globally on the internet, go to http://www.radiofairfax.com and click on "Stream Radio Fairfax" and if you are on the go, on your mobile devices, http://tunein.com/radio/Radio-Fairfax-s24818 The show will be available on http://onthecommons.us/ shortly afterwards.

Sun City Anthem homeowners Robert Frank, left, and Timothy Stebbins pose outside Anthem Center. Frank and Stebbins accused their home owners association of keeping members' dues in violation of IRS rules. The pair were arrested by Henderson Police in 2010 for filing a false report but the charges were recently dropped. – "Don't question your HOA or you might get arrested" – Las Vegas Sun
"The Whistleblower Protection Act" is a federal law that protects federal whistleblowers who work for the government and report agency misconduct. However, whistleblowers of private quasi-governmental homeowners' association (HOA) boards are not provided with anything that resembles this type of protection. In fact, in Henderson, Nevada if you report an HOA board member for wrongdoing, you could be arrested.
Robert Frank, a 72-year-old retired Air Force Colonel and Tim Stebbins, a 73-year-old retired salesman of analytical instrumentation and laboratory robotics, had concerns about the financial dealings of the Sun City Anthem (SCA) HOA board and filed a complaint with the Henderson Police. Frank was a former board member of the HOA.
According to Frank and Stebbins, the SCA board was accumulating an excessive surplus of over $3 million; money that should have been returned to homeowners. By not returning it, the funds could easily become an IRS tax liability.
Frank, who appears in my documentary The HOAX, says, "we filed a complaint that violated state statutes so they wouldn't dismiss us and say, 'go talk to the IRS, that's not our problem.' We already researched it with judges, with attorneys, confident people; even people within the district attorney's office had told us that we were on the right track."
In the Las Vegas Sun article, Don't question your HOA or you might get arrested, J. Patrick Coolican writes, "Frank and Stebbins built their case and then sought advice from friends in the legal community to avoid a boomerang lawsuit from the HOA board. They were advised to bring the issue to local law enforcement, meaning Henderson Police. Bad advice."
Coolican continues, "Frank and Stebbins accused two board members of 'forgery' — essentially knowingly signing a false statement — which was probably also imprudent. According to a police affidavit, Frank told the investigator a 'flagrantly false' board resolution related to the surplus was 'used to deceive the community membership and government agencies concerning the improper disposition of millions of dollars of overcharged/surplus homeowner assessments.' After an investigation, Henderson Police exonerated the board members and then arrested … Frank and Stebbins."
Yes, Frank and Stebbins were arrested. Can you believe that?
About a year after their arrest, an IRS audit justified Frank's and Stebbin's assertion that the SCA owed the U.S. Treasury over $1 million for not returning the money back to the homeowners. So, did the Henderson Police drop charges on these two men upon hearing that evidence? No, not at all. However, these two men were granted a change of venue because a member of the SCA board had previously worked as a substitute Henderson judge.
Approximately one year later, North Las Vegas City Attorney Jeffrey Barr, who prosecuted the case, dropped it, stating, "It was in the interest of justice that the North Las Vegas city attorney decide not to move forward with this case." No kidding.
So the big question for the city of Henderson is, "Why were these two men ever arrested?" Recently, I sent an email to the new Henderson Chief of Police, Patrick Moers and their Public Information Officer, Keith Paul, asking that very same question, but never received a response. I'm still waiting to hear back from them, but if I don't, can anyone answer that question?
We are now planning on going back into production, but only for a short period of time. I have recently made contact with an "insider," who is a former Community Associations Institute (CAI) member and has spent many years working within the confines of an HOA property management company. He wants to share his experiences in The HOAX, which should be very enlightening.
Although we are temporarily going into production, our primary objective remains intact, which is to have a more polished documentary and make a submission of this project to film festivals in North America and abroad.

The Sultan Turner Bikes donated to the Crankbrothers Dreambikes program was auctioned off on February 19th. Thus far the Sultan is the highest auction winner bringing in $4,025 towards Wheels4Life charity. This is all thanks to a French man named Christian, enjoy the bike sir, you have definitely earned it!
Turner Bikes is a proud contributor to the Crankborthers Dreambikes for the Wheels4Life charity! Read on below for more details about the Dreambikes auction from Crankbrothers:
2012 crankbrothers dreambikes – update #5
Imagine the impact that 363 bikes can have on communities that have no access to transportation… Doctors can visit patients, students can go to school, and adults can earn more money transporting their wares to markets. By raising $36,380 for Wheels 4 Life, that is exactly what the crankbrothers dreambike program has accomplished so far, and we still have four dreambikes to go. We are proud of the success this program has had, and we are humbled by the incredible impact the dreambikes are having on people who are truly in need.
auction results for turner sultan 29er / Last week we auctioned a Turner Sultan 29er dreambike, and this red beauty brought in an impressive $4,025. The winner of the Turner dreambike is a French man who now calls himself Pasta Boy, and I think he explains it best:
" I am the (very, very) happy winner of the Turner sultan. :)
I was not planning to buy a dream bike like that, but I was so touched by the project that I decided to destroy my little piggybank–and now plan on eating pasta the rest of the year.
Anyway thanks for your program, and thanks to Hans Rey for being Hans Rey…
I was dreaming while reading some French magazine during my childhood, showing Hans on a MTB trip in Amazonia Forest (With Steve Peat if I remember well), and now I am really happy to "help" him.Thanks a lot for this auction; you made a French man really happy. :) "
Christian (Pasta Boy)
So, the Turner is on its way to France, and when Christian sees his amazing new bike in person, a year of pasta will seem well worth it.
the next dreambikes auction : ibis tranny / Up for auction this week is a very limited edition crankbrothers race club team replica bike. The race club athletes, Judy Freeman and Chloe Forsman, will race their Tranny hardtails all over the world as they chase the World Cup circuit, and now you have a chance to race on one too.
Check out the dreambike at http://crankbrothers.com/dreambikes/ibis-tranny-race-club_2.php.
Together we continue to accomplish amazing things by supporting Wheels 4 Life. The dreambikes auction is doing so much to improve the lives of people in Third World Countries, but none of this would be possible without Hans Rey. We agree with Pasta Boy: thanks to Hans Rey for being Hans Rey.
Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.

Twin Six Yule Tide Long Sleeve T-Shirt $27.95
New here? Create a New Account
Twin Six Yule Tide Long Sleeve T-Shirt $27.95
A welcome new twist on an old holiday favorite–the Christmas sweater. This festive T-shirt features the elves of death preparing for their annual holiday cycle-joust. The Twin Six Yule Tide Long-Sleeve T-Shirt is a good one to have during the holidays since it's bound to get you out of having to wear a traditional Christmas sweater, or even a suit, if you're roped into attending a formal event.
Twin Six was started by two graphic designers who happen to be passionate road and mountain bikers. They were fed up with the direction that cycling apparel was going, with bright, irritating colors and brand logos, so they decided to design their own apparel–apparel they could wear proudly. As it turns out, they helped change the direction of the entire industry by putting a little retro style into their clothing and inspiring others to do the same. So, if you see Ryan Carlson or Brent Gale, you might want to thank them.
The Twin Six Yule Tide Long-Sleeve T-Shirt comes in Black/red/white and is available in sizes S to XXL. All Twin Six apparel is proudly made in the USA.

Fiction - paperback; Pocket Books; 352 pages; 2004.
Quite frankly, unless you're a real Mary Higgins Clark fan or you like your thrillers a little on the dull side, then give this book a wide berth.
There's the bones of a good story there and the author certainly knows how to move the plot forward, but there's little flesh to keep even the most unsophisticated reader interested. I found it too formulaic, too staged and, because of that, too dry.
The best bit is the ending (and not just because I was glad to be rid of the blasted book), because it has a slight unexpected twist to it. But, on the whole, this novel reads more like a screenplay than an inspired piece of creative fiction. Disappointing.

BBBS telethon marks ninth year
By JUDY SHERARD
No pledge is too small or too large for the Big Brothers Big Sisters Christmas 4 Kids telethon from noon to 5 p.m. Sunday at James Motor Co.

By JUDY SHERARD
No pledge is too small or too large for the Big Brothers Big Sisters Christmas 4 Kids telethon from noon to 5 p.m. Sunday at James Motor Co.
"If 100 people call in a $10 pledge, we've raised $1,000," said Nancy Jeter, executive director of BBBS of Ellis County.
This is the ninth year for the fundraiser for local youth programs.
Besides current youngsters and their "Bigs," the first person matched by the local organization will appear on the telethon, Jeter said.
The public can watch the telethon on the big screen TV at James Motor, or tune in to Eagle Cable Channel 14 and Eagle Radio KHAZ 99.5 FM.
Jeter and Gary Shorman, Eagle president and CEO, are co-hosts.
He's a good sport, Jeter said of Shorman, who always meets the challenge to dress up in an outlandish costume. Besides donning a costume Jeter selects from the "Christmas closet" at the end of the telethon, Shorman wears the costume in the FrostFest parade.
This year, the goal is to raise $65,000.
"Every penny raised here stays here," Jeter said.
Last year, the fundraiser fell short of the goal, so Jeter is hoping to hit the target this year.
In addition to BBBS, some of the proceeds go to other local organizations that benefit kids. Groups performing also benefit from the proceeds.
To donate, visit www.christmas4kids.com, or call (785) 625-6672 before and after the telethon. During the telethon, call (785) 301-CARE (2273).
Local entertainment includes Crossroads, Ellis High School Streamliners, Fort Hays State University Dickens Carolers, Full Chord Press, Hays High School Chamber Singers, Heartland Community Theatre and the TMP Singers.
BBBS of Ellis County started in 2000, and 1,100 youngsters have been matched by the organization.
"Eleven hundred, that's a lot of kids," she said.
However, more are waiting to be matched. The waiting list is at 40, but it averages 75 children.
"Since last year's telethon, 106 kids have been matched," Jeter said. "(The telethon) gives us another year."
The organization receives no federal or state funds.
"We survive solely on fundraising, the community (donations), United Way and grants," Jeter said.
Fundraising is ongoing because grants come and go.
"It would break my heart if we had to close the door because of money," she said. "Not only would the kids suffer, but the entire community. We make a difference."
Children are going to find a role model, and "our job is to find them a good role model."
The website also lists this year's sponsors.
