Next, Frederick applied a row of fabulous false lashes. "I always bend the lashes in half first," says Frederick. "It gives them a curve, so they place better on your lid." When the lashes dried, she swiped Shu Uemura Ultimate Expression Mascara in Black ($23) onto top and bottom lashes, and then applied Shu Uemura Drawing Pencil in Me Black ($19) to the inner rim of the top lid.

Amina Cachalia turned down Nelson Mandela's offer of marriage, son claimstags: Guardian (UK), South Africa, apartheid, Nelson Mandla, Amina Cachalia
"I can't help it if the ladies take note of me," Nelson Mandela once said. "I am not going to protest."
The thrice-married former president of South Africa is a celebrated charmer who, even in old age, has captivated celebrities such as Naomi Campbell and the Spice Girls. But one woman, it has been claimed, turned down a proposal of marriage from Mandela before he went on to wed his current wife, Graça Machel.
Amina Cachalia, a distinguished activist in the anti-apartheid struggle, politely rebuffed the great statesman in the 1990s, according to her son, Ghaleb.
"She called me and my sister aside and said she wanted to tell us about this proposal and that she was not going to accept it," Ghaleb said on Monday. "She was very matter of fact about it."...

089 RANDY GAGE: "You Were Born to Be Rich"
in Self Help
What is your relationship to your possessions? Do you own them or do they OWN you? Prosperity guru Randy Gage is here to dismiss old money myths and bolster new financial beliefs. "Poverty is a mindset. Prosperity is a mindset. What you choose literally makes all the difference in the world."
A thought-provoking critical thinker who will inspire you to approach your business–and your life–in a whole new way, Randy is the author of nine books translated into 25 languages, including the New York Times bestseller, Risky is the New Safe. His remarkable rise from a jail cell as a teen to self-made multi-millionaire has provided him bold insights about what it means to be truly prosperous.
"When I wrote (the book) "Why You're Dumb, Sick and Broke…and How to Get Smart, Healthy and Rich," I wanted people to break out of limiting beliefs. We were born to be rich."
Today on BOLD, Randy outlines the planks of his wildly successful platform. His website is www.randygage.com. You can also subscribe to his YouTube channel "Prosperity TV&r
Business Matters :: Risky is the New Safe | Randy Gage
in Entrepreneur
C-Suite leaders today are looking for new ways to bring the spirit of entrepreneurship into their businesses. We've learned that playing by the same old rules isn't going to lead to revolutionary disruption and long-term success. Having the courage to take risks, fail and start again is what allows entrepreneurs to fulfill their dreams, and that same perspective can help all business leaders get ahead of trends, discover challenges early on and clearly define the opportunities that lie ahead. What used to be safe is now risky, and establishing a culture that supports entrepreneurship will ensure the entire organization is prepared for the exciting changes and breakthroughs that are happening in the blink of an eye.
Our guest this week is Randy Gage, a Hall of Fame speaker and author whose life has been full of risk-taking as a means of survival. A high school dropout and former dish washer, Randy became a self-made millionaire by honing his critical thinking skills and setting clearly defined goals for himself. "Quiet confidence and loud ideas are sexy," Randy says, and revolutionary ideas can come to fruition when conventional thinking is thrown out and new perspectives can take their place. The C-Suite Network will welcome Randy on stage at the C-Suite Network Conference Nov. 16-18 in Marina del Rey, California, to shake up the room with his bold perspective on risk taking in the modern age.
It's time to stop playing it safe and learn the new rules for taking risks, thinking differently and working like an entrepreneur to create real change and solutions to the unique challenges our modern world is facing. We must be prepared for the day when artificial intelligence surpasses all human knowledge. Identifying hard, soft, linear and cyclical trends, coupled with critical thinking, will help us stay ahead of the curve and lead our companies toward world-changing breakthroughs and lasting success.

Anyone interested in moving some baskets at Fairmont today?
I can probably help.
what time are you thinking?
Around 1 work?
I'll be there for a while. I'd already planned an appointment there at 1pm so that's perfect.
well it's probably more like a "tour" of the course, then I can help after if you still need help.
I will be there

Thirty years ago I hiked through the Cuyuna mine area with my dog. I don't think anyone had heard of a mountain bike back then. Twenty years ago I bought a basic mountain bike and explored the mines. Tonight I enjoyed the new trails at the Cuyuna Recreation area on my full suspension mountain bike. What fun! The trails are fantastic!

Incredible Headphone!
Momentum basically address everything I expect!!!
I made comparison among Bose qc15, Beats studio, momentum.
1)display Momentum basically address everything I expect!!!
I made comparison among Bose qc15, Beats studio, momentum.
everyone has their own taste. I personally like wearing Studio at GYM, momentum and Bose qc15 at other places.They are somehow low key. I think Momentum black looks better than Bose Qc 15
Bose wins. Bose, yeah! Quality is great. Momentum is also good but momentum has two lines exposed outside handband adjustment parts. Beats studio is like 80% plastic. One thing you need to know momentum replacement I-device cable is over 120 bucks.
Studio put its into the first place. Momentum has huge case. Bose QC15 is flat but cannot be fold. Studio case is relative small and fold.
4)Noise Cancellation and sound leakage.
Bose QC15 blows others away. Momentum is great. It blocks a lot of noise. Beats studio noise cancellation works a little. With respect to sound leakage, Momentum is the best. It is sealed headphone. Bose QC 15 goes to second place. Beats studio just play music for everybody!!!
6)Sound quality
Momentum is much better than the other two. The sound is crisp, clear, and strong. It has the best sound quality in this three.The feeling of the momentum is accurate! Nothing is overpower just perfect! It has more bass than QC15. The highs and mids is better than beats studio. It pretty balance headphone and performs great in a variety of songs. …

Two questions worth addressing:
Sound: By far the best I've experienced yet, a good notch up from my QC15s (which surprised me), although I'm sure on a noisy aircraft Bose remains king. Listening directly from my iPhone 4, they sound good. Put a Fiio line-out adapter on the iPhone and go to a Total Bithead amp and then to the headphones and the whole experience goes up an order of magnitude - incredible dynamics and clarity and so very well balanced.
Comfort: I read all the "too small" comments and decided to try based on Apple's 14 day no cost return policy. I note that they are smaller inside than the QC15 and the headband feels just a little harder. I wondered if I'd be returning them. 3 minutes later, felt as though they had vanished, incredibly comfortable - but you do have to "tuck your ears in". The test for me was 45 minutes playing drums lots of movement and heat. No rubbing, no soreness and my ears are 2.5" long (yes I measured)...
Beautifully built, great sound, comfortable and Highly recommended! …

Awesome Sounding Stylish Headphones
So after having a pair of Beats by Dre Solo HD for almost 2 years, I was finally deciding on buying a great pair of headphones wit So after having a pair of Beats by Dre Solo HD for almost 2 years, I was finally deciding on buying a great pair of headphones with "actual" precision sound quality and maybe some style. These Momentums met the requirement; in terms of sound quality, these things are very balanced. Bass is solid with a good "thump" while at the same time, not over powering the treble. Basically you can't go wrong with sound quality.
Build quality is great as well; stainless steel bands feel durable while the leather earcups are very comfortable
For $350, you can't go wrong with these headphones, try them out and buy them!! …

I ve experimented on a variety of genres and the outcome always was the BEST true detailed high fidelity audio. Not too much bass i think but incredible clarity.The only bad in my opinion is the size of earcups it feels great but their measurements are designed for s- m sized ear..

These headphones are a great all-ro Bought these after the reduction in price as the momentum 2.0 headphones' release is imminent. These headphones are a great all-rounder. They sound great for almost all the music I have listened to so far, and as someone else mentioned, with these headphones you really can tell the difference between songs that are well made and those that aren't. However, these headphones will definitely leave bass-loving listeners wanting for more. After living with my Apple EarPods for quite some time, the reduction in bass in the Sennheisers was quite shocking. Dubstep and heavy dance tracks are definitely not suited to this headphone and I prefer even my Apple EarPods over these for this. These by no means sound bad with this music but there are definitely better alternatives out there if that is your primary listening category. However, the clarity of these for everything else is simply astounding and I would recommend these for anyone other than for the people mentioned above. …

Great Headphones! Small earpads.
These headphones are amazing in nearly every aspect expect for one. This ear pads are WAY to small! When I put them on for the fir These headphones are amazing in nearly every aspect expect for one. This ear pads are WAY to small! When I put them on for the first time I thought I had mistakenly brought the on-ear version. I may have above average sized ears but these things are just ridiculous. I had all my friends try them on and they barely fit any of us. This is major problem because everyone around you can hear what you are listening to and it makes listening to music on them for extended periods of time uncomfortable. I payed near $150 extra for the over-ear style only to get a headphone thats lost in the middle between on-ear and over-ear. Besides that problem the headphones are amazing. I listen to nearly every kind of music. Soul, Punk Rock, Heavy Metal, Classical, you name it. The new type of these were just released on Sennheisers website and have bigger ear pads and a lot of cool new features. My advice, go with the new ones. I don't think you will be disappointed. …

Transactions and Rollback with RPM
You may be thinking this process is complicated, but using transactional rollbacks actually is rather easy. As a simple example, let's install a single RPM and roll it back. The most crucial point you have to remember is that whenever you do an upgrade or simple erase, you must tell RPM to repackage the old package before it is erased. To do this, use the --repackage option:
# rpm -Uvh --repackage foo-1-2.noarch.rpm Preparing... ############################# [100%] Repackaging... 1:foo ############################# [100%] Upgrading... 1:foo ############################# [100%]
Using this option, RPM first repackaged the old package and then upgraded the new one. On an erase, you also need to use the --repackage option, like this:
# rpm -e --repackage foo
RPM does not show any output from an erase, but if you look in the repackage directory after an erase, a repackaged package is there.
To roll back this RPM transaction, use the --rollback option followed by the rollback target. The rollback target can be an actual date or something like one hour ago (the date specifier allows the same date formats as the cvs(1) command's -D option). So, if an hour after upgrading foo, you decide you don't want it, you could type:
# rpm -Uvh --rollback '2 hours ago' Rollback packages (+1/-1) to Thu Jul 31 23:26:52 2003 (0x3f29ddfc): Preparing... ########################### 100%] 1:foo ########################### [ 33%]
The output Rollback packages (+1/-1) shows that RPM is going to add one package, the previous version, and erase one package, the currently installed version.
Transactional rollbacks are only as good as your local repackaged packages repository. One quick way of making them fail is to upgrade or erase something without using the --repackage option. From my experience, it is pretty easy to forget to use this option. Therefore, if you are going to use transactional rollbacks, you want to configure RPM to repackage all erasures automatically. Do this by setting the %_repackage_all_erasures macro to 1 in your /etc/rpm/macros file. If the file does not exist simply create it:
%_repackage_all_erasures 1
By default, RPM does not roll back a newly installed package; that is, it does not erase packages that were not on the system at the time of your upgrade. You probably don't want this to be the default behavior, so you need to tell RPM to allow for this. To do this, set the macro %_unsafe_rollbacks to the date beyond which you do not want to allow an RPM to be completely erased on a rollback. A good value for this is some time after your system's initial install. This date should be in seconds since epoch. To convert a date to seconds since epoch, use the date command:
date --date="8/1/2003" +%s 1059710400
If you wanted to tell RPM not to remove packages completely that were installed on or before 8/1/2003 (the date in the above example), you would add the following to the /etc/rpm/macros file:
%_unsafe_rollbacks 1059710400
The only other thing you may want to configure is where RPM puts the repackaged packages. One reason for doing this is to ensure they are placed in a partition that has ample space. To change the repackage directory, set the %_repackage_dir macro to the directory where you wish to store the repackaged packages:
%_repackage_dir /my_rp_repository
Now you have a system that automatically repackages all erasures (so you or someone else does not forget), erases newly installed packages on a rollback (but won't erase your whole system) and places the repackaged packages where you want to store them.
In Red Hat 9, up2date supports rollbacks using RPM's transactional rollback mechanism. Configuring it to support transactional rollbacks is as simple as running up2date-config, clicking the Retrieval/Installation tab and then clicking the Enable RPM rollbacks check box (see Figure 1). You have to configure RPM itself as described in the previous section. When you upgrade your system using up2date, once you have configured both RPM and up2date, RPM creates the repackaged packages of RPMs you are updating before it upgrades those packages.
To list the different known rollback targets, type:
up2date --list-rollbacks
Empty rpms when I use rpm -Uvh --test with transational rollback
When I have repackage_all_erasures on and then do a rpm -Uvh --test it creates empty .rpm files in the /var/spool/repackage area. Has anyone else noticed this? Not sure if this is a bug or a feature.
I just checked whether this affects what happens when I first do a rpm -Uvh --test foo.rpm and then actually do a rpm -Uvh. It doesn't seem to affect anything, the empty foo.rpm is replaced by the real foo.rpm in /var/spool/repackage.
Re: Transactions and Rollback with RPM
Watch out for the situation where you already have rollback rpms in the repackage directory with the same name.
ie. upgrade prog-1.0-1 to 1.1-1 and create a prog-1.0-1.i386.rpm file in the rollback package directory. Perform an up2date --undo, which backs out version 1.1 and puts version 1.0 back. It leaves the rollback RPMS hanging around and if you don't delete them, your next upgrade of prog-1.0 will fail to generate the rollback packages with an error like.
Warning: The following packages are being updated, but these packages
have already been repackaged and this is currently not supported.
Repackage support for this transaction has been disabled.
And now you have no rollback available, but the previous rollback packages have been removed!!
So remember, manually remove your rollback packages after you have performed a rollback.
This is fixed, but I forget in which version...
I fixed this in the HEAD of rpm about a your ago. That said, I don't know which official versions have this fix. Basically, the rollback needed to remove the repackaged packages that it used in the rollback. If your current version of RPM does not do this, I can probably produce a patch pretty quickly.
Finally, just so you know, the latest version of RPM will have several fixes for transactional rollbacks (all done by Jeff Johnson), and will have the latest autorollback patches in it. This will be the 4.4.3 release of rpm. There are many other fixes and features.
Re: Transactions and Rollback with RPM
Couldn't this rollback feature automaticly remove the rolled back package?
Anyone, a patch?
I would do it if I could....

Ummmm, a pallet holds 42 sacks of grain (55# each typically)... So, at 55#/sack, and 90#/batch... Makes about 6-1/2 sacks a week (4 batches a week), so you'll go through a pallet of grain about every 6-1/2 weeks... That's of base malt, not counting anything else you're putting in there.
At that rate, you'll use 336 sacks of grain a year (18,480# of grain)... Roughly at least... Order a 6 months worth of grain at a shot... Bet the supplier would love to have that order come across his desk.
My son just has a small grinder he converted to motorized. he has it mounted on an old wooden desk. He made a cloth discharge chute that hangs from the bottom of the grinder to nearly the floor. It goes inside the container receiving the ground grain of course. It does a very nice job of containing the dust. We are normally grinding for 10 gal batches.
I was thinking more around 55# will go into a 10-11 gallon pail. Aren't most people splitting a 55# sack into 2 homer or 5 gallon buckets? I have trouble fitting some sacks into my 11 gallon pails if they are a plumper variety. My last 10 gallon batch of 1.097 RIS was just shy of a 40# malt bill, so big hoppers are nice on occasion especially if you're doing 45 gallon batches...
I hope you're going for a decent mill with bearings over bushings or sleeves as my Valley mill gets a workout on a big malt bill and I'm sure it'd go up in smoke before long if I did too many big batches in a week. I plan on rebuilding the blocks that the shafts ride in to add bearings in the near future as the plastic and sleeves are starting to get beat up.
Is that because you lose space due to the "Plumbers crack" in the buckets??
If I was doing that many batches a week, I'd probably just get one of the mills rated for it... Instead of one built more for the hobby level.
I'm sure it will go through many sacks of grain before starting to show wear... You could be in full swing, turning a profit before you actually need (or more likely want) to replace it.
Either way, good luck with the venture... I know that I'd be stoked if I was looking at brewing as more than just a hobby.

Chris and Colleen has a scandalous beginning. You see, they worked at the same law firm and it was frowned upon to date fellow coworkers. So for a while, Chris and Colleen kept their love a secret. That is, they thought it was a secret because it was obvious to everyone that they had googly eyes for each other. Fast forward a couple of years, an awkward human resources conversation and a proposal later and Chris and Colleen declared their love for one another in front of those friends and family they thought they were being sneaky around. It was a perfect day full of laughter and good vibes.Venue: The Deering Estate | Wedding Planner: Flutter Fete | Florals: Ever After | Catering: Egg Whites | Video: Pabelona Studio | Vintage Rentals: Unearthed Vintage and The Salvage Snob | Band Chillula | Baked Goods: Clound 9 Bakery
Oh, the cold. I hate it. I've been too accustomed to the Miami weather that anytime it dips below 75, I run for my cardigans.
With that said, you can just imagine the experience it was to photograph Stuart and Melanie in windy 30 degree D.C. How do people survive up there? But man, oh man. We had the best light and Mel and Stuart were total troopers all afternoon. They even helped me keep my weak, Floridian hands warm while I shot.
I had such a great time with them and I can't wait to document their wedding day later this year.
Not many brides get pooped on on their wedding days by a free-flowing bird and laugh it off as amazingly as Emily did. I think that's the perfect moment to describe Chris and Emily's wedding day; funny, laid-back and memorable.
We spent all afternoon driving around Duval street taking photos in pretty nooks and crannies. When we arrived to their ceremony and Emily walked down the aisle with her dad, not an eye was dry, not even mine. Their vows were sweet and funny, just like them. And when they started the party under the big trees and bistro lights, all of Key West joined in the festivities (seriously! People were dancing on the sidewalk).
It was the perfect wedding for me to end my 2014 and I'm sooo excited to finally share Emily and Chris' wedding day.

* Building a Better Panopticon: The Wire as melodrama.
The Wire extends and elaborates melodrama in remarkable ways. But, as Williams says, melodrama remains a broadly liberal medium — and as Williams doesn't say, liberalism and neoliberalism are not especially distant cousins. Liberalism can critique neoliberalism for its inequities, its cruelties, and its callousness. But to neoliberalism's call for data and surveillance, liberalism can only respond with a call for better data and more nuanced surveillance; to neoliberalism's doctrine of individuality as sameness, liberalism can only offer a deeper individuality subsumed within a deeper sameness. The Wire is undoubtedly one of the greatest melodramas extant, and an object lesson in how powerful the form can be. Its limitations aren't a failure on the part of its creators so much as an indication that melodrama, having gotten us to this particular liberal democratic impasse, is unlikely, on its own, to get us out.

So if we have no way to make the slogan effective, what is it for? If it is genuinely intended to pressure imperialist states to "arm the Kurds", then it is at best unthinking sentimentality. At its most sophisticated, though, the idea could be to 'intervene' in an argument taking place in imperialist countries around the region's uprisings and military intervention, to attack the weak points in the dominant ideology and open a space in which a leftist argument can be made to a popular audience. In this view, Kobane represents both the most progressive front of struggle in the region at the moment, and the weakest point ideologically for imperialist ruling classes who have no desire to see the PYD/PKK prevail. In this sense, the demand to "arm the Kurds" is a sort of feint, akin to a 'transitional demand' in that it is both seemingly 'reasonable' in light of the dominant ideology and also impossible for the ruling class to deliver.
* Malcolm Harris remembers the Milgram experiments.
"Post-post-colonial" — and that's just because I can't think of something wittier right now — I think is a new generation of, well, new-ish generation of writers, where we're not driven by our dialogue with the former mother country [the United Kingdom]. The hovering power for us when growing up in the '70s and '80s was not the U.K. It was the States, it was America. And it wasn't an imperialistic power, it was just a cultural influence. I'm sure if this book was written in the '70s or the '60s, the characters would have ended up in London. They wouldn't have ended up in the Bronx.
For us [as opposed to the post-colonial writers], for example, identity is not necessarily how to define ourselves in the relation of colonial power, colonial oppressor — so now it's a matter of defining who you are as opposed to who you're not.

According the agreement, Pearson will receive half of the tuition revenue in the first academic year. The share drops as more students enroll; if Rutgers were to meet its 2019 enrollment goal, for example, Pearson would take 45 percent the next academic year.

Chairman Vincent C. Gray and Councilmember Mary M. Cheh wrote letters to the executive branch yesterday calling for a briefing on the scandal in the Office of the Chief Technology Officer.
The FBI arrested a OCTO manager and contractor last week in an alleged kickback scam. A second OCTO employee was arrested yesterday.
Gray and Cheh have asked for appearances from Thomas Jones, Office of the Chief Technology Officer; Dan Tangherlini, City Administrator; and David P. Gragan, Chief Procurement Officer, according to a council statement.
The briefing is set for Monday, March 30, at 10:00 a.m. in Room 120 of the John A. Wilson Building.
"I am confident Councilmember Cheh and the Committee on Government Operations and the Environment will determine how an alleged theft of this magnitude was perpetrated and will work with the Executive going forward to ensure it never happens again," Gray said.
"We are grateful that this scandal came to light because an honest employee blew the whistle," said Cheh. "But we have to ensure that agencies have procedures and systems which will, as far as possible, prevent this from happening in the first place."
The Council is considering launching an independent investigation into the matter similar to the one used in the Office of Tax and Revenue scandal, the statement said.


text: Turkey launches fresh strikes on Kurdish rebels in Iraq Iraq Iraq Turkey Luke Browne on Dec 31, 1969 @ 7:33 PM A Kurdish man holds up a flag of the Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK) during Noruz spring festival in the Lebanese capital Beirut on March 21, 2012. Turkey has confirmed that its air force has carried out a further series of strikes on Kurdish rebel bases deep inside northern Iraq. According to the Associated Press, the military issued a statement Sunday saying that Turkish aircraft had hit nine targets associated with the outlawed Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK), mainly in Iraq's Qandil region close to the border with Iran. The air campaign represents the second round of Turkish attacks on PKK positions in Iraq in five days. On Wednesday similar raids were carried out, a day after PKK militants crossed into Turkey from northern Iraq to ambush an army post in the town of Yuksekova in Hakkari province, killing eight soldiers and wounding 16. More from GlobalPost: Turkey cozies up to the Kurdish regional government Masoud Barzani, president of Iraq's autonomous, oil-rich Kurdish region, condemned Turkey's air raids, and insisted that a peaceful solution was required to end the longstanding conflict between the Turkish government and Kurdish separatists: "It is unfortunate that we are seeing this kind of deterioration and we are against the operations that are carried out inside Turkey or the air raids that are carried out by Turkey in areas in Iraqi Kurdistan," he told press Sunday in the Iraqi Kurdish capital Arbil, Reuters reported. According to the BBC, several thousand PKK militants are believed to be using northern Iraq as their base of operations. Tens of thousands of people have been killed since the group – which has been denounced by the US and the EU as a terrorist organization – began a violent campaign in the mid-1980s for an ethnic Kurdish homeland in Turkey's south-east. More from GlobalPost: Turkish forces kill at least 7 Kurdish militants in continued violence

Hollyhocks 'help from the experts, please'
Hello everyone,
I am moving to a new house and have a bag full of Hollyhock seeds. Now.........I need to learn....
When should I plant them?
Start indoors or outside?
full or half sun?
any and all comments appreciated...
I just started my Hollyhocks inside yesterday for transplanting outside mid March here. Just wait till the danger of frost is past to plant outside. I have found in the past that since they grow so big the usual "growing kit" type trays aren't big enough for them so I start mine in peat pots. Just be sure they get enough sun and stay warm and they'll be fine. Outside mine get full sun and lots of water. I plant mine near a fence and use fishing line to tie them to the fence for support when they get mature. Good Luck, Michelle
This is to Nora Z5
some varietys will bloom same year planted , you can get the seeds at a walmart, i dont have much of a growing season here, but i got some that tried before they got nipped.
You can plant hollyhocks anytime of the year,i plant mine in the fall and the sprout in the spring time when they are ready too. ive also planted mine in the spring too
they seem to grow whenever
Hope this helps
I don't know anything about the Ficifolia's but double check the others. Is it Charter's or Chater's?
If it's Chaters, they're full doubles. I'm guessing that you're a Zone 9, like me, so most likely they will bloom this year. In our climates and if seeded early enough, most Hollyhocks will flower the first year. However, there are some that are true biennials and no matter how early you seed them they won't flower until the following season.
If anyone is still reading this - I planted my hollyhocks from seed last year. They are already up about 2 1/2', and no doubt they will bloom this season. My question is, since they are bi-annuals - will they die at the end of this season, or will they just come up again next Spring and not bloom until 2001??? Thanks! Kathy in Kansas
I seem to have a mix from 6 seeds I planted two years ago. Last year, a beautiful purple single bloomed at max ht of 4'. THIS year, there are full whites, single pinks, full purple, etc and the crazy things are flirting with the neighbors sunflowers! I'm not even sure I ever saw a hollyhock before but these have been the best seed investment I've made. Temps are in mid 90's, they're planted in morning sun and only receive soaker watering 2ce weekly. Hubby refers to them as the cauliflower plant and is quite taken with them...Keep in mind, I grow roses but with his engineer mind-set, he only noticed one.
Dicken - Thanks for your wisdom...but, how sad! Those huge green leaves are making SUCH a pretty backdrop for my other flowers and statuary in my Victorian Garden...S-I-G-H! I'll do as you say though, and replant the seeds as soon as the blooms get to that point. Guess I will need to plant seeds next Fall too, so that I will have some Hollyhocks in bloom for the next 2 years, huh? Well, better get off now, I see lightning out the windows in the distance. We have really been having a monsoon season here! Kathy in (tropical!!) Kansas
In the fall, I take all the seeds and spread them along my fence line - lightly cover with soil and in the spring they are all back!! I have ALWAYS had them bloom the first year - not sure why. Hollyhocks are one of my favorite old flowers. Reminds me of days gone by.
When I was a little girl my grandmother and I made hollyhock dolls all of the time. The way that we made them was to take two hollyhock blooms. One fully open and one bud(for the hat. Take the full bloom and attach it to the bud with a 1/2 toothpick inserted through the ends.(Green parts together) We then used two toothpicks in the open bud for the legs. At the top of the open bud we stuck in 1/2 toothpicks for arms. A simple thing but it made a memory that will last a lifetime. Any time anyone speaks of their grandmothers garden this is what I think of. :) Rhonda
Okay, now I'm drooling over everybody elses beautiful Hollyhocks. I planted hollyhocks from plants last spring. They flowered and died. I replanted the seeds thinking I would have flowers this year and I have about a dozen pitiful little things that are about twelve inches tall. No blooms. My mother says do not feed them and others say they love manure. I'm obviously doing something wrong. I have lots of seeds I have traded and I hate to waste them. What's the secret? Sun, shade? Fertilize or no?
I can not give any help on Hollyhocks,I thought I'd let you know that a friend gave me three plants 3 years ago,they were two years old before they bloomed,they were me first so I did not know anything about them,I happen to plant them on the East side of the house,one is almost as tall as the house,it has deep wine colored blooms the other one has lite pink,almost white,the last one has not bloomed yet,what's wrong with it?I only put Miracle Grow around them/water them every day,there is enough seeds on the two that's blooming to plant at least an acre/I think.
Here is a link that might be useful: Dropseat Jumpsuits
I planted hollyhocks last summer. One grew and bloomed and came up again this year and bloomed again. Another plant came up on its own this year and is blooming. The last few days they are very wilted looking and the leaves are yellowing. Some have big holes in them like they are being eaten but I can find no bugs on them. The temps have been in the lower 100's so I've been watering them often. Do they need furtilizer? Or is it just the heat? Woul be grateful for any help I can get. Thanks Linda of Kansas City.
I had replanted a hollyhock too, and it drooped. After a couple of days I cut it off. Then a new sprout came out but it died too, not enough water. This is the first time I am growing hollyhocks and don't know anything about them.
My 2 questions are: what do I do after they gave finished blooming? Cut them off or let them dry, will they come back next year? Do I have to collect seeds and how do I do that? Also, why are the leaves so black on my hollyhocks? Any help is welcome. Dagmar in S.C. California
I am just getting ready to plant my Hollyhock pony pack..and I find this column very informative. I hope more of you who are successful..and know some of the answers to dzauels questions will respond.
I DO know (from recent experience) that when you plant OR re-plant, you need to SHADE the plants or the summer heat will fry them. Little sprouts especially are vulnerable. The watering is good..but, couple it with shade. Anything placed in front of the noon-afternoon sun heat (a box,etc.) will shade the plant. Cover from above too if it is possible.
After a week it will have it's 'feet' down..and will feel at home in your garden. It won't need to be shaded then, just watered often..like every other day well.
I live in Arizona at about 6000'. I am new to the gardening field, and don't know much about it. I have some hollyhocks on the south side of my house and would like to plant some from the seeds on the north side. This side of the house is in the shade most of the day, gets about 4-5 hours of sun a day. Will this be a problem? When should I plant these seeds.
Thank you for all of your help..
I have hollyhocks growing . I remember the first year they were very short but filled out, The next year they grew over 6 foot. And have come back every year. I have moved them to a different area. But they still keep coming back .
By the way mine are black and they are beautiful.
I live in Southern Ct. When can I expect my Hollyhocks to bloom? I bought and planted then last year and they grew to about five feet but no bloom. They are growing fast now but I dont see any flower stems. When doI harvest seeds and will any of them reseed by dropping on the ground? Thanks
My little girl's homework assignment was to measure the tallest flower she could find. How about a 9ft.2inch hollyhock!! This is the tallest they've ever gotten for me and it just keeps growing and growing!
I started mine from nursery 6 pks planted 4 years ago in the fall. They grew, flowered, then I left the dead heads on as long as I could stand it (they get ugly). After I cut them I layed them on the ground under the other plants and voila! New hollyhock seedlings the following spring! They need full sun, and if you do direct sow seeds into the garden, don't bury them far down, they need light to germinate. As for the sickly ones, it's probably rust, which they are a magnet for. Spray as they grow with a neem oil product. As far as food goes, mine are mixed in with my roses, which get fed a lot. I think they like it! Hope I've helped!
I bought 2 hollyhocks in square pots last year. They sure looked like squash. Well, this year I moved them to a new border, figuring they would like more sun than in the first location. They really look like squash now and have no sign of flowers or stocks yet. I am continuing to watch them each day - they are lush but when will they form a stock? (When I moved them in March, they had very strong roots which tells me they cannot be squash.) Anyone have this experience?
Last year was my first with hollyhocks(from seed).
I had heard they wouldn't bloom but they did. I started them in the 3rd week of May.By August they were over 7 ft tall and bloomed very well.
Peachiekean- last year my hollyhocks grew straight up and were thin. When they died back briefly, they returned bushier and fuller-they do remind you of a zucchini plant. Mine are about 1.5ft across now. I really want to see how it looks when it blooms.
Mine are about 3-4 feet across and the leaves are the size of salad plates (just a bit smaller than a dinner plate). They grow and grow but just not up. I have to keep trimming off leaves because they are crowding everything else so much I worry about air circulation (living at the beach means mildew) I guess they will flower eventually but I'm impatient! I've had them for over a year now.
this is the third summer for my hollyhocks. They did nothing for two years, and this year they took off! They are gorgeous. the last few days the flowers have started to look bad. when I pulled a flower off, it was filled inside with little black bugs. What can they be and how do I treat them? I don't want to lose my hollyhocks! They are magnificent in front of my picture window! Help!
After cutting back the large side leaves a few days ago, today I notice each of my 2 plants have 4 thick stocks emerging. I guess this is good? Still makes me think squash... But I am hopeful. Will take some digital photos on Saturday and post them.
I am new to this form, and actually new to gardening. I was given seeds for Hollyhocks and planted them in the way I was told, nothing came up for two years, I planted again last year,and only got some something that looks like a squash plant. I noticed in this thread, that this may be the Hollyhocks. Is this true? Are there any pictures of little plants so I can see if it looks the same as I have?
Thank you for all your help, I really enjoy reading all the tips and information you folks give out so kindly.
Take care Cause I care
I too have not had luck with Hollyhocks.
I had a great first year from seeds (so great I have tried stubbornly to duplicate it) but then all ensuing years have produced nothing but stunted plants with yellow leaves and buds that are kind of moldy looking that also sometimes have some kind of mite like creature and hardly bloom - I have assumed that it was some kind of fungal condition so this year I transplanted last year's seedlings out in the alley where they would get more air and not be as contained as they are in my small fenced yard. Same thing.
Should I start again with new seeds - is it genetic or just this environment? (humid summers and 6 hours of afternoon sun?)
I was looking to order some hollyhocks from seed from Swallowtail gardens and wanted to get Creme de cassis. However, they don't have that one. They have "black currant swirl" but it's description, without pic, sounds the same. Is it?
Also, how do hollyhocks do in wet oregon weather?
I have enjoyed hollyhocks since the middle of June however I did not know about dead heading. The seed pods have formed and some look dry and viable. If I cut the seed pods now will I get re blooming or is it too late to do this? I do not want to cut off the immature seed heads if I will not get re blooming. If I cut the immature seed heads(they are white inside) can I dry them and will I have viable seeds from them? It is mid July and I would love to see some re blooming but the seed pods are in the thousands and I'm worried about my crop for next year if I try to dead head now. This crop took two years to mature and bloom.

PepsiCo, hitherto known for its beverages and snacks, is now focussing on the health food segment, particularly breakfast cereal, to drive sales and expand its market base in India. One such product that tops the priority list of the U.S.-based food and beverage giant is Quaker Oats, which is globally a leading brand and fast picking up in India.
This transition is also is in line with PepsiCo Chairman and CEO Indra K. Nooyi's vision of generating $30 billion in revenues from 'healthier' products alone by 2020.
Incidentally, India, which is the fifth most important country for PepsiCo globally, is the first such market where the U.S. firm is targeting 'value segment' customers with its 'health products'.
The Indian breakfast market is now valued at around Rs.2,000 crore, out of which the share of cereals such as oats, cornflakes and muesli is around Rs.500 crore.
"With Indians becoming more health conscious and trying new food options, particularly in cities, we see it as an opportunity to introduce our healthy products — internally called 'better-for-you and good-for-you products' — such as Quaker Oats to further boost our sales," said PepsiCo India Vice-President (Marketing-Quaker) Vani Gupta. "With health diseases rising rapidly among Indians, we are giving a healthy option in the form of Quaker Oats, which provides 100 per cent natural wholegrain nutrition advantage. Even the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (USFDA) has concluded that beta-glucan, a soluble fibre found in whole oats lowers blood cholesterol level thus help protect heart," she pointed out.
Nascent category
"Oats is still a nascent category in India, but growing fast. Internationally, oats is a mature market…in India it is consumed by the 'believers' — those who opt for genuinely nutritional foods. But it is the fastest growing segment in the breakfast cereal category and has the highest potential for growth. In the wider public, there is very little knowledge about the nutritional food value of oats…we are trying to create awareness about health benefits of oats among Indian consumers," Ms. Gupta added.
