After tireless browsing on the internet for forums on making liqueurs, mixing cocktails, and reviewing spirits, I am yet to find any forums that have adequate members or feedback.
Perhaps at least a liqueur making forum would be a good addition to this site? It also may be good to have a general bartending forum (for cocktail making and serving). Would anyone be interested in this?
I'd say no. I homebrew, so I come to HBT. If I want to mix drinks, I'll buy a book. But, to each his/her own.
I don't think it's a bad idea. There are already sub forums on wine, mead, cider, cooking, smoking, cheese making, kombucha, etc. Homemade liqueurs are not that far off other than you take an already made base alchohol and add your own flavors. Most of us already do a form of that by making extracts all you need to do to change that is to sweeten it up a bit. There seem to be a very broad interest base with the members on HBT and they all tie into a homemade craft and love for quality and flavor.
HBT has such a wealth of information and members. I'm trying to navigate the waters into distilling, but haven't found solid plans like a Brutus 10 for distilling. Any body got any ideas? HBT should DEFINITELY add a distilling section...it's a logical progression from brewing.
Non-distillation liqueur making is perfectly legal and it would be nice to have a forum section for it, if TxBrew or whoever makes these decisions thinks it could be done without a flood of distilling threads.
I believe you should really use rum for Kalhua clones, since the original was made from sugar cane.
This is the kind of thing we should have a forum to discuss.

|Liam Gallagher and his family
The Beady Eye frontman is already proud of the musical abilities of 12-year-old Lennon – his child with ex-spouse Patsy Kensit - and 10-year-old Gene, his son with wife Nicole Appleton, and thinks they will go on to enjoy chart success.
Asked who he thinks should be responsible for the future of rock 'n' roll, he said: "My kids mate. They're gonna have it. My little boy Gene is a drummer. He did his first gig the other day at school.
"He got up in front of 200 people at the school, first gig ever and he was drumming as well as the 14, 15 year olds. But whereas they were all f***ing s**tting it, he got off and went, 'Yeeeeesssss man.' Big round of applause. And my other kid's having a crack at the guitar."
Despite making his fortune as a rock star, Liam – who was formerly the frontman of Oasis - insists he is not pushing his kids into music.

He added to Q magazine: "I let them get on with it. The teachers are always going, 'Oh you should make them practice more.' But as far as I'm concerned, when they get home from school, they do what they want. There's time for all that really getting their heads down when they are older."

About this item
Every driver has a concern about being trapped in a vehicle in an accident. First, there is the worry about being unable to release a seat belt because it is jammed or if the release is inaccessible. Second, there are the difficulties of escaping a vehicle that has been submerged in water. Water pressure may make it difficult or impossible to open doors or lower windows until water has seeped in and the internal pressure is equalized. Custom knifemaker Russ Kommer recognized the need for a simple and affordable emergency tool. We call it the ExiTool.

Customer Raves & Reviews
Floral Flourish Address Labels This was fun! Short, sweet and to the point - my purchase was simple and smooth and I received my order on the date the site said it would arrive, even after a snow storm. The product is great; great quality material. I am very happy!
Flawless Invitations
Floral Flourish Address Labels My fiancé and I just received these in the mail and we are in love! The website makes it super easy to customize ANY part of the invitation. You can make your own colors to match your theme perfectly and change the size and font of all information. Love that there are different types of paper to pick from and matching extras to go with the invitations. (Labels,seals, and RSVP cards. A really nice feature is that you can order just one of everything to preview it exactly as you would send it to your guests. Great to know you can hold and review it, before ordering a big amount! Thanks magnet street!
Cute Labels
Sweet As Pie Address Labels Ordered labels as part of our invitation suite. Everything looks great and arrived six days after ordering!
Flower Punch Address Labels I ordered my Save The Dates, Shower Invites, labels, and my Wedding Invitations from MagnetStreet and couldn't be happier! Every font and color is customizable. I would recommend MagnetStreet to every bride. You won't be disappointed. I was surprised how fast all my invites arrived and they come in the cutest aqua box!
Caught for a loop
Flower Enchantment Envelope Seals I thought the design choices were excellent and the personalization options too. However when I received the finished the product I thought it was only good. Mass producing does make it impossible for each invite to be perfect. And I was very disappointed when I received my envelope liners that didn't automatically come with an adhesive. I felt that the company withheld the fact that I had to purchase adhesive separately. It was like selling a postage stamp and having to buy the sticky backing separated. After complaining to the company I got even more bitter because they explained it away as a personal preference.

Please. lets' see JUST your Jade plant pictures and collections.
Here are a few of mine taken a few minutes ago....Just a small collection, but they bring me much joy, especially in color for all that warm sun..Beside these, I have two gouge ones at work and many more cuttings developing roots..
Hi Mike, what a very nice collection you have...the colors are so pretty already, I'm so jealous! Btw, what is the Jade in the second picture in the brown bonsai pot? It has a lot of orange. It looks like hummel sunset yet the colors are different than your other hummel sunset Jades. Very attractive! Thanks for the pictures, they're all beautiful!
Great job growing them.
Here's a few of mine...
This is the one from you..I LOVE it!! See my mango tree in the background?
I whacked this in July...the top stem is the one I'm having problems rooting. This is slowly showing some of its hummel sunset colors(ever so slightly)
My oldest Jade(regular green variety)4 yrs this January.
Last but not least...Max trying out his Halloween costume,lol...
Thank you Mike, Jade Man, and Nancy. All three of you have beautiful jades......I love the red one....Wow...so many options in jade plants. Thank you so much to you all for posting them. Good choice of plants.....
Pug, Is Max a lady Pug, oops,'"Pug"? loll..That is one cute picture...Wow amazingly beautiful plants....Are you telling me that that jade is the one I sent you last year, the cutting from my big one at work? It is gorgeous Pug! The mom plant doesn't look that colorful..
Jademan, if you show me that Red Horn tree one more time.....I LOVE it...lol
Beautiful plants you have there too...They almost glow in the dark...
Itran and Nikki, Thank you and lol with the treats...How is your cutting doing Nikki?
Can't wait to see more pictures..
Jade Man...you and I must have been posting close to the same time, I missed your pictures until now. Very nice! I agree with Mike. You're lucky you live far away,lol...You must be the only person in the US that has that Jade. Its a beauty!
Mike, NO...that bonsai Jade is the one you gave me last month you silly! The one you gave me last year is very small now...because I've given so many cuttings away. I have to let it get grow back before I take any more cuttings,lol...Mike, cute one...yes that's a Lady 'pug' costume...but don't tell Max :o)
Thanks ltran, Nikki and Pineyboy for the kind comments on the plants and Max...he's a total ham and just had to get in on the action.
those are wires. i am training that particular plant to a more aesthetically pleasing shape.
no need for shame here. every plant lover, fanatic, nut, hobbyist, whatever you call yourself had to start somewhere. your plants look very nice, so you must be doing a good job.
one of the things that i find plants help me with is patience. they grow slowly and often your actions take a week or so to play out. in a year or two your picture of all your plants will contain many more.
lovely colors on those jades :), unfortunately i cant say the same about mine :/ except for this little one wich is the only one that turned just a little bit red :)
this one has a few red tips but not many :/
no red colors but a beautiful pink gladiolus from the garden in the background :)
two seasons growth after it got wacked.
and heres a closeup picture of the trunk :)
and i think we all know what awaits this plant in the spring :)
and to finish off with, heres a pic of them together, they have just been moved into the greenhouse,
Excellent Jade pictures, everyone!
Jonas, it's especially nice to see your giants. It was your C. arborescens that convinced
me to go out and buy one. It's developing nicely.
Doug, your scarlet Sunset Jades are pure eye-candy. I hope that I can get mine looking as good in the future.
Your work on the 'tricolor' (wired one?) is paying off. I like the form. Because of you, Doug, I now have an obliqua in my collection. The nodes are hairy, and this Jade seems to grow more vigorously than any other. I'm also excited by the 'Red Horn Tree.'
Mike, Christopher, Nikki, Marie, Xuan, and Nancy (and Max!), I'll be back with more!
I wouldn't want to ignore those who took the time to post such nice images of their Jades.
In the meantime, here's a quick pic of my 'Hummel's Sunset'....slowly recovering from a year of rough luck.
The trunk and stems should develop some better scarlet hues in November.
That plant looks so different from it's backside..lol..I sure looks like it is already getting much better sun than here..Beautiful, the coloring coming through..
Some of the leaves look so much like the one I sent you last year..It threw me off..I only wish all mine could look as refreshed as yours..:-)
Chris: Before you know it, those little babies will be as big as many here..They are still nice in the meantime though...At least you are keeping them alive..I happen to be partial towards one of them:-)
Jonas , those are some big beauties..Thank you!
Josh, never a bad picture with your plants, unless you accidently left them out in the freeze..Even then, you resurect them so beautifully!
Pinebioy,Haxuan, deburn, thanks..
Love the pictures thus far..
Hey everyone..
My pic has already been put up on another thread here but this is the most recent one and I thought I would add it to here too...
I have bought all my plants in now as we are hitting -1C at night.
My colourful Jades seem to be going more green now.
I also have a couple of small ones not in the pic
Alright, I'm back with some pics of my Jade collection!
Thanks, Mike and Nancy. Mike, just for you, my frozen Mother Jade (back from the dead) in the first pic.
I tried to group and organize my Jades, so that I wouldn't have so many individual pics...but I forgot a few,
and had to go back and take pics of certain plants by themselves - the 'Hobbit,' for instance.
For the sake of clarity, I'll narrate from Left to Right (or clockwise where applicable).
First up:
1) 'Hummel's Sunset,'
2) a standard yet fairly yellow Jade
3) and my unfrozen Mother Jade (which is the standard variety).
This is the standard variety of Jade that was a huge cutting...before it was frozen down to the stump!
It's bounced back nicely, and I look forward to working this one into something clever and stout.
This is a piece of the larger Jade pictured above, which I couldn't throw out...so I threw it into the garden.
I dug it up yesterday, knocked the garden soil off the roots, and re-potted in a mix of Turface, Pumice, Bark.
I am going to give this little Jade to a friend.
Now we move on to the Finger Jades!
1) 'Gollum' - large, fast-growing, green version
2) 'Skinny Fingers' - very elegant and colorful; some mixed leaves, but I consider it 'Skinny'...
3) 'Gollum' - small/dwarf, slow-growing, colorful version.
Finger Jades, part two!
1) 'Gollum'/'Skinny Fingers' monstrose Jade that I received as a cutting.
2) 'Gollum' that I started from a fallen 'Gollum' leaf - seems to be growing true to sport.
And a Spoon Jade, my dear little 'Hobbit.'
I just pruned off two branches - one high, one low.
These are Compact Jades from separate sources:
1) 'Crosby's Compact' - recently tip-pruned, awaiting new growth
2) 'Crosby's Compact' - started as a cutting from one of my sister's plants. Colorful, tight growth of leaves
and internodes, but with a tendency to sprawl and droop.
Here, a table of assorted rooted and unrooted cuttings! Starting at the top:
1) 'Crosby's Compact' - cuttings from the pruned plant above.
2) A pink-flowering Jade from John in Oregon.
3) 'Peek'(?) - a uniquely variegated Jade from Mike. Thanks again, Mike!
4) My Jade Forest - mostly standard Jade, with a couple cuttings of 'Peek' from Mike, a 'Hummel's Sunset,'
and a couple Portulacaria afras that will be removed to make way for the 'Hobbit' cuttings.
5) 'Christmas Cheer' cuttings from a GardenWeb member of constant courtesy and perpetual cheer.
(You can also see the 'Hobbit' cuttings resting on the Turface in the 'Christmas Cheer' container).
A couple Crassula that I've had for less than a year:
1) obliqua - a mostly green variety, with only hints of variegation on certain leaves. Quite fast-growing,
and exhibiting very interesting hairy nodes.
2) arborescens - Silver Dollar Jade, as it's commonly known, is not an ovata at all. Still, I lump it
together with my other Jades.
3) arborescens - this is the second cutting that I've propagated. A very vigorous, easy to grow species.
Obliqua, closer shot of the canopy:
Bo!! My goodness your collection is growing by the day..I love them all!! Who was it that got you started? I see one that looks awfully famimular...lol
That almosy pure yellow one on the bottom, in the center photo, I particularly love it..Lets' talk in private...:-)
So good to see you posting your plants..Excellent..
Where is Andrew these days anyways? Still waiting for his too..
Love this thread! We're on our 4th day of rain, thunderstorms and drizzle here but I'll take pix when it clears up. Silverina's looking nice and full.
Val and others that are waiting for cuttings, hang in there, everything's really soggy and wet right now.
Hey Mike,
Thanks! Yep, that little one on the bottom is the one you sent. I love it! It's starting to put on roots. I am very excited and can't wait to see new growth! You know I didn't even know a Hummel's Sunset Jade existed until I visited this forum but once I saw it; I was like 'oh my!' I have to get one! You, Andrew and everyone here have been enablers...lol
p.s. I think Andrew is busy hauling in yet more jades! LOL
paracelsus - your jades are absolutely divine! Now, I want to learn how to prune my jades and make them more shapely and bonsai like yours! What is the first one? And are the following two: Hummels's Sunset? Thanks for sharing your beauties!
Sorry it has taken me this long to post any pictures of my jades. I am sick with a bad cold and not feeling well at all plus I have been getting new additions to my jade collection the past two days.
This is a picture of the most recent addition. I got this as a trade and I feel very lucky to have been able to get it. I cannot believe how substantial this 'Red Horn' jade is!! I expected a small rooted plant but I did trade 4 jade plants and 2 Hummel's sunset cuttings for this. I also got a variegated portulaca afra, plus 4 others thqat I have no idea what they are!
If anybody would like to do a direct post of the pic that is fine. I just need to take the time and practice doing it.
Here is a link that might be useful:
This is also one of my newest additions. I got this one yesterday from Lorraine at K an L cactus along with a couple others. I will post pics of the rest of my jades when I am feeling better.
I am sure that there are a few people who are getting prune happy when they see pictures of this jade. LOL!
Here is a link that might be useful:
Very nice collection Bo, Josh and Brad. Love the first picture...hobbit right?
Hey Andrew...I'll post them directly here for you!
OMG...you got the 'Red Horn Tree' Hobbit? I'm such a newbie compared to most here...but are you sure its not a Gollum?
Looks like my gollum Jades...but again I better let the experts take a look.
Hope you feel better soon...take care!
Very nice Jades, btw!
Here's Andrew's Jade pictures...
Andrew's New Hummel's Sunset jade
Michele, looking forward to pics of Silverina and the rest of your collection too! Hope it dries out soon!
andrew, i got my 'red horn tree' from a guy in Germany. as far as i know there is no commercial source for the 'red horn tree'. i don't know where you got your gollum from. the 'red horn tree' is a hobbit form of the hummel's sunset.
I wont hold this claim anymore but I was given this jade and told that this was the 'red horn tree jade. That is such a bummer considering what i gave up for it but I cannot complain. Even the green form that I have of this doesn't have the red coloration that this has.
Doug, Was it a nursery that you bought it from? Did you need the phytosanitary certificate? I would buy it if I could or was it just a trade? Could you email me so I can get some more specifics? BTW I live in western NY. I was curious where in PA you are from?
Thanks Doug,
Thanks D
Josh!!!!! Now that I finally got a minute to closely examine your jades, REMARKABLE!! Those are so so beautiful...I may be asking you for a trade or a piece of one of them..I LOVE them My mother is extremely in love with one of the..Thank you for such beautiful pictures..
Pug, that was so nice of you to post Andrew's pictures,,He has some very pretty ones here..Wow...Looking good>.
Paracelsus..Beautiful..They are so breath taking..These plants are so amazing and each with it's own distinct characters..Thank you.
Bo, wowowow..
Jademan, I am still looking for a Red Horn..Lol

Pug! I love how nicely shaped your jade looks! My son loves your little misfit in his Holloween costume. Too cute!
Andrew - your newest additions are beautiful! And has me wanting to order more! LOL
Tom - I love your jades, especially the middle one! Is it a gollum?
Lzrddr - Oh my....! Your Jade collection is admittedly breathtaking!! I am especially fond of (and am a very big fan of) your Crassula ovata unknown cultivar!! It's so beautifully lit and ginormous!! Thank you for sharing your wonderful treasures!
p.s after seeing all these beautiful jades; I've decided I need more! ( :
Tom, I see you are growing in the gritty mix..Fantastic..You actually put lights over yours? How long and how close? I might do the same with a couple of mine this winter...Thanks
That tree is HUGE Jonas..Thank you for sharing..Wow..Make's you feel young or old, depending on your perspective..I only wish I had one that big and greenhouse to set it in..
Mike -
My larger C. ovata gollum was situated under a 1000w Blue Metal halide (eye hortilux) - but I recently relocated it to a sunny, south facing window in my living room. My other C. ovata (more common form?) is in the same place.
My hobbit is about 18 inches from the 400w metal halide light. Seems to really like it there. The lights go on at 7AM, off at 6:30PM.
Hi Mike and all...
I finally got a picture of my littlest jade, you can see it is just starting to shoot out new growth...
and of course that will be shade for the little fisherman...lol
thanks to everyone for posting all the great pictures..and to Mike for starting this thread....and Mike I really like the new jade you have the one in the middle of the group picture.....
I really like jades......linda
really a nice jade collection.
here are some of my collection ...
2 different kinds of C.arborescent undulatifolia
c.arborescens "break dancer" a crested form of "blue bird"
c.ovata "ougonkagetsu" ... a japanese cultivar
c.ovata "variegata" vs. "obliqua tricolor"
I still have some cuttings of "Red Horn Tree" ... so if anyone is interested just write me.
@greenman28 ... what is special on 'Christmas Cheer'? I never have heard of this cultivar.
Does any one have a picture of C.ovata "Pallida"?
OMG!! Ben those are some amazing Jades you have. I LOVE them all. Thanks for the beautiful pictures!
Ben I can't find an email for you on your page...and the one you posted is incomplete...PLEASE email me on (MY Page)... Thanks so much...I'm interested in a cutting of your 'Red Horn Tree'.
You have some incredible varieties!
The Japanese ovata, the variegated 'Gollum,' and the 'Red Horn Tree' are excellent.
I would love to discuss a possible trade, if such a thing would be of interest to you.
I've heard that the 'Christmas Cheer' has a pink flower, but I don't know much about it.
I'm just now rooting cuttings of this variety.
sorry, i forgot to activate my email for other members. I changed this now.
I have 3 cuttings of "red horn tree" ... 2 smaller ones and one like the cutting i have send to Doug. I will contact the interested people tomorrow per email. Right now i don´t have much time.
The "gollum variegata" and "ougonkagetsu" are still quite small as you can see on the pictures ... i think i can give away cuttings not until next year.
i have got the cultivars from differents sources ... nurseries and private people. Thanks to the internet you can surch worldwide. "Gollum Variegata" and "Ougonkagetsu" i got from a japanese guy. They really have some nice cultivars in Japan.
Recently i got cuttings of a cultivar called "Sinkagetsu" (Sin = new; kagetsu = synonymous with jadetree). According to the japanese seller this should be a hybrid of "Sunset" and another Jadetree (maybe obliqua).
This is a picture of "sinkagetsu" from Japan ...
my plants don´t show the white margins yet ... but like "sunset" this feature should be seasonal and depends on the amount of sunlight. So i have to wait for a while before i know if my plants are really the same cultivar as on the picture.
Another nice cultivar is "Solana" from Russia ... it looks like "tricolor" but with a yellow variegation instead of white. I´m still trying to get one.
I am not sure if anyone can help or not, but I am wondering if there are any other companies in countries like Japan that people could buy them from.
After seeing how much the phytosanitary certificate is and shipping, it may be a waste of time to look into it but I wonder if maybe a couple people got together and did a group order if it would be more reasonable.
Hey all, I hope I am not to late I finally got some pictures of just my jades......Pug do you remember the one in the left corner....its still growing......
and my fat stubby one....its as big arround as a pop can and also as tall as one....
and theses two...their about 12" tall and as big arround as a egg....I am trying Al's mix in the plant on the right, (thank you Mike for the mix) and napa floor dry on the left plant....
thanks for looking.......linda
Fantastic Linda..Wow that fatty should fill in soon and make a great Bonsai..Great Job!
Laura....Wow..It is SO great to see you here, all the way from the plumie side..;-)
Thank you for coming for a visit and your nice comments!
Just as I was speechless about your plants, mine almost may look as good as yours...I miss those beautiful pictures you took of yours by the pool..Don't you just wish those warm days lasted longer?
Someday, you will have to come here and show us some of your succulents, includining Adenium..
Take care and I will have to visit you again..
Thank you Laura..:-) CHEERS to you too!
Sunworshiper, YW...You might want to catch a ride with us and try one..
Josh..Ditto! How are ya? :-)))
Hi Linda, I certainly do recognize that one, I'm so glad its alive and doing well...Congrats! You're never too late to post pictures. Hopefully I will post some as soon as I get them to color up a little. Great plants!
So, so true...who knew there were all these rare and beautiful Jades to discover! Can't wait to get my hands on some of those rare ones someday...
Beautiful photos of spectacular jades! Everyone has such beautiful displays and containers!
Bo, sent me Hummel's Sunset and a compacta. It's her fault, I'm addicted now! Actually, I'm going to blame everyone one of you! LOL
Thanks for posting your wonderful collections!
Are the red colored jades like Hummel's sunset any more difficult to grow than the plain green sort? In particular I'm interested in their heat+humidity tolerance since I'm in FL. I really like the red coloration and might like to give one a try.
I recently bought a Crassula arborescens (Silver Dollar Jade). Too early to tell how it will fare for me. I bought it on sale at Home Depot. They had a clearance table of cacti and succulents that had been sitting there unprotected through the summer rain. Most of the plants on that table were dead from rot, but this one looked surprisingly good. So I took that as a good sign that maybe it it isn't as sensitive to extra water. Anybody know?
to sun_worshiper
in my experience jades arent that sensitive when i comes to water, we have ours standing outside during the whole summer and take them inside around the middle of november, and our summers are quite wet and the autumn is even wetter and our jades seem to be doing fine including the c. arborescens even in cold temps.
Excellent! Glad to hear that Crassula arborescens is a more thirsty variety. I am slowly planning landscaping part of my yard with succulents. Before I relandscape, I am in the process of trying out individual specimens to see what fares best in my climate. Sounds like Crassula arborescens might be a good landscape candidate.
jonaskragebaer - I have to say, I know very little about Denmark. During your wet summers, how hot is it there? My (admittedly limited) trials with succulents show that it isn't the wet alone, but the wet+heat that does them in. Seems like succulents most hate the combination of high humidity combined with nighttime temps not dropping below 80 degrees F.
Theresa..Thank you for looking and your comments...
Hi Pug...:-))))))))))))))))))))))))))..P.s..where is the Jade that you whacked back really hard that grew so nice and full everyone is raving about? How are you cutting doing too?
Linda...I have been menaing to get to the post office real soon..Got something for you..:-)
Josh.....:-). I had no idea this jade could handle more watering..What do they look like?
Ok, you all have inspired me to post photos
of my jades. Great photos from everyone.
I never knew that jades could get so huge
and have such large trunks. I also never
realized you could whack the heck out of
jades and have such good results.
I'm a newbie to jades, but loving it.
Here is a photo of a 2 year old cutting I rooted.
Mama jade didn't survive the move to Florida from
Virginia so I'm glad I took this cutting when I did.
From Garden 2010
This is a jade I bought at Home Depot. It too
is about 2 years old. I've whacked it once
and will more than likely selectively trim it
again this year.
From Garden 2010
our summer is hard to describe, you dont know what to expect from it some summers are wet and cold while others are hot and dry, but normally its a mix of all weathers, during the summer months the day temp is usually somewhere between 15-30C, and the night temp is 15-20C, and in the fall the temp is around 10-15C day and night
Nice jades sun worshiper!
Dpolson...I bet you're glad you were able to save a cutting from your Mother plant...cute Jades. Soon enough your collection will multiply. We're a very bad influence here,lol. Its an addiction for which there is NO cure :o)
Hi, I saw those large variegated jade pictures (5 foot) and was wondering if anyone knew of a place that actually sold them? I think its the crassula ovata variegata or tricolor or something like that. I am willing to travel anywhere in the US, but I am having trouble finding places that sell that. Can anyone suggest garden centers they may have seen them at with that size anywhere at all?
Thanks for the help!

In 1992, following the collapse of the Soviet Union, the lack of a strategic superpower other than the US in the Western Pacific lead the Philippines to end the lease of bases to the United States. For the first time in literally centuries, the Philippines would not be occupied by a foreign military power.
But the rise of a nationalistic and expansionist China has the Philippines rethinking their military alignment with the United States. The first tentative steps to allowing US forces to use the excellent naval and military facilities in the region are still underway.
And the actions of one Marine may have great impact on that.
A Marine on liberty in Olongapo City, just outside the gates of the base at Subic Bay, is suspected of murdering a transgendered Filipino.
The commander of U.S. Pacific Command has stopped two of its warships from leaving the Philippines after a U.S. Marine was named as a suspect in the murder of a transgender Filipino he met in a bar, a Philippine official said on Monday.
Admiral Samuel Locklear had ordered the USS Peleliu and another warship to stay in the former U.S. base of Subic Bay until after the murder investigation is over, said Eduardo Oban, executive director of the Visiting Forces Agreement Commission.
U.S. troops have been taking part in a 10-day military exercise with the Philippines.
A U.S. Marine was in the custody of American military officials aboard the USS Peleliu in connection with the case, the U.S. Navy Times said.
Setting aside for the moment the actual guilt or innocence of the Marine in question, there has been a murder, and the US is, in the eye of the public there, to blame.
While there is a great deal of trepidation in the Philippines about China, there is also a great deal of unease about allowing the US back into the country. As for the US, the lack of forward operating bases in the Western Pacific is a major handicap against establishing and maintaining a credible deterrent to Chinese threats in the region. The few bases we do have are crowded and vulnerable.
As the US attempts to gain greater access to bases in the Philippines (and elsewhere) this incident, and others in the past, and those sure to come in the future, will have a chilling effect.
Every time I went overseas, I was reminded that, as a soldier, I was the ambassador of my nation that the host population would see. I would be the face of America to people who would have only my actions to judge my country on.

2003 Montes Alpha M Apalta Red Wine
Wine Details
Winemaker's Notes
(From 2005 Vintage) Vintage 2005 can be considered one of the very best of the last 10 years. With rather cold previous Winter and Spring, the ripeness process was slow and lengthy, allowing Aurelio Montes to have great fruit expression and deep color. This wine, richer in color and with intense character, shows the elegance of the grapes of our Apalta estate. The wine has soft and rounded solid tannins that will allow it to be cellared for many years. A well balanced structure and perfect integration with the Fren...

For a new and enhanced Hyogo framework to succeed, it needs to be supported by a combination of adequate and innovative financing flows with the right mix. So the question then is how we go about mobilizing the right blend of resources?
We all want to see an Asia-Pacific where women and girls live free from poverty, free from violence and free from discrimination. The ESCAP Secretariat stands ready to support our governments in making that a reality for all.
Transport infrastructure and services are the concrete expression of our need to connect - with different countries, new markets, and key resources – but most importantly with other people. The transport sector underpins much of the Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific's (ESCAP's) engagement with our member States and development partners, with an emphasis on promoting "Regional Connectivity and Shared Prosperity."
The new regional framework on HIV and AIDS builds on our successes, and refocuses our efforts to where they are now most needed. It also enables our region to strengthen its voice in the critical global negotiations on the sustainable development goals, ensuring that the response to HIV remains a key focus of the post-2015 development agenda.
Getting to zero new infections, zero stigma and zero AIDS-related deaths in Asia and the Pacific, is possible only through seamless partnerships across and between counties. Our goal should be not only to halt the spread of HIV in the Asia-Pacific region, but to bring the epidemic to an end.
Remarks by the Executive Secretary at the 358th meeting of the ESCAP Advisory Council for Permanent Representatives.
