Unexpected faves and the opposite
Going through and checking the hoyas to see who needs watering, I am struck again by how much I like polyneura. Don't get me wrong, I never expected to DISlike it, but it was one of those hoyas that never quite grabbed me, partially because I'd heard it was finicky. Mine is anything but. It has been super patient with me during the funk of 2011, and now that I've gotten over that, for the most part, it is rewarding me with growth. I really like this little guy.
On the opposite side, will cinnamomifolia ever do anything? It is like a fake plant. Leaves look great, but no new vines or leaves or even an attempt that failed. It had prime real estate at the front of my south window but has now been ousted by benguetensis, who is rewarding me with lovely red coloration on its leaves.
What about you? Do you have hoyas that snuck up and vined their way into your heart? Or one you were excited about but has been a little disappointing thus far?
To be honest, I initially ordered my chlorantha as filler for an "order 10 or more items and get a discount" offer. I expected it to be a fairly plain green leafed vine with small green flowers. I expected the green flowers to be interesting but nothing spectacular. It's been the exact opposite of what I thought it would be, the leaves and vines are gorgeous and the thing flowers constantly with big bundles of yellow-green flowers.
On the other hand I ordered my imperialis hoping it would grow and look as impressive as it does in pictures I see online. It's definitely growing, but I feel like the plant is taking up far too much space and not quite giving enough in return. The leaves are large but somewhat clumsy looking, and it doesn't seem to be very happy under my lights. I'm incredibly jealous of pug's imperialis though, so I'm keeping it around hoping it'll end up like that some day.
One that would "bang" right to the top of my list if it would just take off... deykeae. I've had it 2 years and it's put on some new growth, but nothing significant. But enough that I'm totally enthralled with the leaves. I've been afraid to disturb it (for fear of losing it), but a few weeks ago, I decided to take a deep breath and move it up to a larger pot in hopes of it taking off. I'm relieved to say there's a new sprig of growth on it, so it looks like it's no worse for wear. And who knows - maybe the move will bring on that burst of new growth that will make it #1!
And I have to agree with Rennet that I'm very disappointed (so far) with imperialis. I can't even brag about mine taking up too much room. I've had to restart it twice - it seems to be more susceptible to colder temps in winter than other Hoyas. I really want to grow it well, but it may just be that elusive one for me...
Denise in Omaha
The key word here is "unexpected" - there are plenty of favorites that are not on this list because, frankly, I expected them to be favorites, and they were.
Unexpected favorites:
I have already explained elsewhere why many of these are particularly adored, so I won't repeat myself here.
I had no idea this one was going to be so striking - like a bigger but equally sharp and snazzy acuta
I'm going to try my hand at seriously describing these leaves soon, but for now I'll just say that they have an amazing leathery texture with an elaborate network of raised veins I haven't seen in any other Hoya
This one just takes off for me like a spritely little weed
I thought mitrata was pretty but weird when we first met, now it has performed so loyally I'm never going to cut it.
There's no way you could get this plant and go: meh
I recently got this one from Aleya and I couldn't believe how vigorous it is. One of those instances where you figure since it's an eccentric plant, it will be a troublemaker, and then... it isn't!
I lost my first patella, so I only grudgingly reordered it, because it's a special sort of plant and I figured I had to have it. Well, it's growing like it's in a fever to beat every other plant in my collection and I've had to revise my opinion
pottsii IML 0022
rigida 1424
Everyone here knows I am obsessed with rigida, but probably I've never mentioned the fact that I just randomly added my first rigida (this one) onto an order, for no apparent reason. When I took it out of the box I was just bowled over and have stayed that way.
sp. Haraku
sp. Ban Ngon Ngoy
sp. square leaf
Have you ever been in the situation where all your friends are talking about this one book or this one movie and something in you stubbornly resists until it's 10 years later and you WILL NOT READ HARRY POTTER. That's how I felt about sp. square leaf. And now I love it.
I resisted this one for a long time because it's big. Well, yeah, it is big. But how can you not love a plant that is so smooth and pretty and vigorous?
Unexpected UNfavorites:
I don't know why. If this plant was rare, I would probably love the heck out of it? I just can't get into this little guy, even though it does well for me.
We used to be in love, and then I moved, and I haven't been able to make her happy since. :( I think we are going to break up! :(
Once upon a time I thought I lost my first deykea because it arrived too wet and got cold in an over-air-conditioned apartment. Now I know that even when I receive a giant plant from Joni in robust health, it will still act like a pouty little punk unless I keep it in the aquarium. Also, there are like 10 different spellings of this name and I can't figure out which is the published...
These are mine, although I haven't grown them for long. So, just first impressions.
Unexpected favorites:
H. obovata: just nicer than I anticipated. Do these always have speckles? I expected all green.
H. carnosa 'krinkle-8': Why do some people call it boring? It isn't at all. It's shiny, dimply, and the underside of the leaves is much lighter green. It has a very nice look to it, and it grows fast. It may even be a favorite, although I like my new waymaniae and subquintuplinervis very much at the moment, too. This plant looks like my much loved winter scarf; its two colors are almost the same, and on reverse sides, too.
H. cv 'Mathilde': small, freckled, thick-leaved and may even grow those big flowers someday.
H. memoria: good proportions, reddish new growth, nice growth habit.
H.ÃÂ sp.ÃÂ SarawakÃÂ L97002ÃÂ GPSÃÂ 10073: I didn't know exactly what someone thought I might like and sent to me in a trade; turns out that this one has very nice light venation and I like the shape of the leaves too.
Unexpected unfavorites:
H. Pubicalyx Royal Hawaiian Purple: I already have two other nice pubicalyxes, and since I doubt I'll ever see their flowers here in the dark north, these may just be too similar for me to grow in three separate pots.
Hoya parasitica: my cutting has two solid green leaves, and because the other had some odd hard beige spots that I scraped away (parasitica, hmm...), only one of them is presentable right now. I DO like all green flowers, though.
Both H. buotii and wallichii have thinner leaves than I expected, and I find that un-Hoya-like. These just don't look tough enough, and it makes me unconfident.
Well, I love all the ones I have, but my most favorite has to be pubicalyx. I have purple hybrid. Splash, and Pink Silver that survived the freeze. They are just comming back into putting out new leaves. I love them because they flower all summer long, and their fragrance is beautiful.
Unexpected favorites:
DS70: The leaves didn't look quite so nice when I first bought it, plus it was sparse and sort of boring. But since I've had it, it has filled out considerably, and I find myself petting the leaves quite often. Also, the purple edge to the leaves is quite nice. lol
Unexpected UNfavorites:
polyneura: I was really excited to get this one, and when I found it on discount at Lowe's, that made it even better. It even has the veination on the leaves that I like. I can't even put my finger on exactly what it is that I don't like about it.
brevialata: this one is just not happy no matter what I do. It grows a leaf and then promptly drops 4. It kind of makes itself hard to like. lol
multiflora: It's just so... thin and dainty, but not in a good way. Like it's sort of weak. Maybe it's just my plant?
In any case, these are going to be around for a while, at least, just in case they decide to do something unexpected, like grow, or even flower. lol
Quinn, thanks for reminding me about my unfavorite. It would have to be multiflora too. It is tall, about 2 1/2 to 3 ft. tall with leaves just at the top. I'm tempted to cut it back and root the top, but it blooms quite frequently, so I hesitate. I'm not sure if the bare stem will start growing new leaves. Any one out there have any idea if this will happen?
Yup, unexpected IS the key word. I have plenty of faves that I knew full well I would love, and I do. I wouldn't say that cinnamomifolia is an unfavorite, but it irks me. I guess burtoniae also falls into that category. I want to love it, but it doesn't do much. Except die back, little by little, now and again.
Ha ha, it took me a really long time to finally read Harry Potter too.
Kukka, I don't grow wallichii, so I can't advise on that, but don't feel unconfident about buotii until it gives you a good reason (like dropping leaves or something) because it is one of the easiest hoyas I grow! It only looks delicate. Mine seems to grow through anything. I have let it dry out multiple times this year (not on purpose) and it barely showed any signs of caring. It is the second fastest grower I have.
GG, I also really love dischorensis. It's hard to see how attractive it is in pictures. I had issues with nummularioides too. It is doing pretty well now, at least. And curtisii is failing to wow me as well. Don't know what it is. Maybe I will move it somewhere else, sometime.
So, imperialis seems to be a bit of a troublemaker, eh? I will have to keep that in mind. Chlorantha is definitely on my wish list. Deykeae looks pretty cool in pics. I hope it does take off for you, Denise.
Brevialata definitely gave me problems to start. The first cuttings I got rooted pretty well, but it would put out some leaves and vines, and then lose more than it grew. Then nothing. Then the same thing again. It finally seems to have evened out and is growing steadily. I also found a big pot of it at Lowe's. I decided to divide it up, give some away and replace the soil. Half of it just up and died, absolutely hated me. The part that is left is perfectly fine. What a weird plant.
I don't know if multiflora will put out more leaves from the bare stem, but I know variegated macrophylla did just that! It grew new leaves from where it had dropped leaves previously. I think it was determined that my plant is javanica, not multiflora, but it does pretty well being wick watered. Mine is pretty sturdy and is filled out rather nicely but it is directly under a light. I believe it is a 30W CFL? It blooms pretty regularly there also.
Don't hesitate to hack your multiflora back and root the top in water. After cutting the plant back you will get growth points from the nodes below the cut. I let my plant hang and I like it that way but it is a space hog when it becomes a multi growth plant.
Unexpected favorites:
diptera - I love the clean & shiny look of its leaves. Plus it is such an easy bloomer for me. I've heard others call it boring, but I beg to differ.
davidcummingii - I bought this for the flowers but was surprised to find the leaves very attractive.
Unexpected unfavorites:
mindorensis! Maybe if it ever blooms I'll change my mind. What a spindly grower! Maybe I'm not doing something right with it. ?? who knows
/Kukka I really like Krinkle 8, too. It almost made it onto my top 10 list. People downplay carnosa b/c it's so common, but this is a really neat cultivar.
My obovata has speckles, although not very heavy, at least not in my light.
There are a lot of Hoyas with thin leaves, so I guess it IS "Hoyalike" (lol), but I agree that what originally drew me to these plants was the tough succulent specimens.
/Kids You make a great point about DS-70. This is definitely a very attractive Hoya.
I was slow to like multiflora (and its doppelgangers) also, but I like it now that it has entered its space hog phase. It does grow well from points where it has been hacked off. If your plant can be described as 'spindly' you probably want to change your strategy for it, because it should be 'bushy' and 'aggressive.' I don't really do the whole self-watering thing, but I keep my plant in the kitchen where it's always in the way. My mom always says "you can forget to feed a dog but you can never forget to feed a cat" and multiflora is one that needs to be underfoot and getting in the way, like a cat, so it gets fed as much as it likes. :P
/Quinn Maybe you're right and the solution for my lackluster opinion of curtisii is to rearrange it... grow it elsewhere or differently than I have been. Simone says it's more attractive if you give it something to climb up, and I have to agree with her. I don't want another plant on cork, but I may have to mull over the possibilities a bit.
/Beth I totally agree that diptera is a beautiful Hoya, although mine hasn't bloomed for me yet.
Which mindorensis do you have? I find they vary a lot.
GG, I couldn't even remember which mindorensis I have, so I checked Joni's site just now. I think it is IML 0768. Isn't that the most "ordinary" of them? I remember you talking about a wonderful mindorensis that you have that outshines all the others, but which one is that, I forget! Can you remind me?
H. mindorensis (IML 0768)
H. mindorensis 'True Red'
Hoya aff. mindorensis (IML 1777)
These are the three mindorensis I currently have and the one I always rave about is the first one, IML 0768, which you also have.
I have also had (albeit briefly) two other mindorensis in my possession and their leaves matched those of the latter two photos, not the first.
In my opinion, IML 0768 is much much more beautiful, succulent with visible veining and a matte texture. I do notice that one of its leaves is larger and less succulent than the others, but it is not the eldest leaf, so I'm not sure if it's an issue of the conditions when it was formed, or if the plant just sporadically throws leaves more in keeping with other mindorensis. The leaf I'm referring to is the one upper left in the photograph, which unfortunately makes the photograph misleading, because that's the leaf that gives the clearest view of thickness. It is, however, still a mossy forest green, like the others and the venation is more pronounced, so that's a cool trade.
I should note that all three plants are grown in the same conditions.
Oooh, you are right, it IS lovely. Maybe I should get that one, to soothe my soul over my current mindorensis being El Crankypants. I gotta ask, how are you taking pics of your plants? It looks like you've got them in a light box or something. It's like that early George Lucas film THX 1168, where there are no shadows. I forget the technical term for his lighting.
I do grow some curtisii on cork. It's kinda cool, but it's not super happy with me because I let it get dry too often this year. I have more in a pot, that is doing better, but neither has really taken off, so it's not exciting to me. They are small and hide in the back. If I move them so that they are more visible, maybe I will enjoy them more. I can't do that just yet, but I'm keeping it in mind.
Rigida is moving into the land of favorites right now because it is starting to put out some nice solid growth. If all of this growth makes it, it will leap into becoming one of my largest plants, simply because its leaves are so large. Fun!
Wow, I think your "True Red" is the neatest looking of yours! You mention you grow them in the same conditions. Can I ask what conditions you grow them in? Just want to make sure I'm doing it right :)
Actually, the growth habit of your IML 0768 looks much more compact than mine, and the leaves look more beautiful than mine! I should post pics on here, I'll try to do that later today.
Quinn, I built a lightbox this year because I wanted to be able to take yearbook photos of my plants to see how they changed over time. I think I'm going to build another bigger one as the current one is only a few feet high. I used the guide below as my model and it was pretty easy to whip out once I'd assembled everything. I've really enjoyed working with it so far.
Beth, I grow my mindorensises under bright artificial light in a chunky bark based medium. Since I let my apartment get pretty cold in the winter, I overwinter them in the heated aquariums. I don't really think that's necessary but I have had other temperate varieties react badly, so I don't like to chance it.

Jetpack WordPress plugin prepared the annual report for this blog's last year activity. It was ready for a few days now, but somehow just fell through my posting cracks. So here you go.
This website is very old. It's been with me for many years. There are plenty of articles which are useful both for myself and the rest of the world. Bit by bit, word by word, link by link, image by image, this site was filled and filled over the years. Technologies changed. Some new techniques and concepts came up. Some old ones faded away. Spending as much time as I possible can (after everything else) on this site, sometimes I manage to introduce big changes – like a new bit of functionality or a totally different look. Not to confuse and scare everyone, I try to be open about the changes that were made. When something big is changed I post a description of what it was and why I felt the change was needed. These updates are published in this category.
Jetpack WordPress plugin prepared the annual report for this blog's last year activity. It was ready for a few days now, but somehow just fell through my posting cracks. So here you go.
Just wanted to let you all know that I've made a couple of changes recently, which should result in a somewhat faster performance of this site.
Firstly, before the last weekend, I've moved all my DNS hosting to Amazon Route 53 service. This should result in faster DNS queries all around the globe and minimize the potential downtimes.
Secondly, I've installed and configured the JS & CSS Optimizer WordPress plugin, which now results in much fewer HTTP requests needed to load the page, as well as fewer bytes to be transferred around. I'm still tweaking the settings for this one to see how much I can squeeze out of it, but I already see an improvement.
As always, if you see any issues, please let me know.
Two years ago (to the day) I blogged my opinion of the infinite scrolling. And what do I do now? I enable the infinite scrolling for this blog! Consistency? Who needs that …
I'm trying out the Flounder WordPress theme for my blog. It'll take a few moments for me to configure everything, so please don't get annoyed just yet. Theme options are fine, but it looks like I have a few issues with custom post types, which aren't matching my previous theme (Favepersonal). I'll update this post once I'm done – that'll be the time to report the issues.
Update (April 9, 2014, 01:47am): most of it works now. There are still a couple of small quirks for me to fix, but feel free to let me know if you see anything wrong.
And here is the moment we've all been waiting for … every single site on this server is now served by Nginx. Of course, there is Apache behind for now to smooth out the migration, but The World Domination is right around the corner.
P.S.: Placeholder websites are served by another instance of Nginx, which runs inside an OpenVZ virtual machine.
P.P.S.: Can anybody make any sense out if it?

Diane Safer, PhD
Doctors can often identify genital herpes if lesions are present. However, this window of opportunity may be easily missed. The doctor may choose to test for STDs based on your symptoms, medical history, and sexual history.
Many may feel anxious or embarrassed about discussing sexual history, but an accurate history is important to guiding health care. Home test kits are widely available, but they are not as accurate as testing at a doctor's office. If you choose to use a test kit, it is important to follow-up with a doctor, regardless of the results.
Testing can distinguish between HSV-1 and HSV-2 which will help guide your treatment plan.
If sores are present, a swab will be brushed over an open sore or blister to collect some cells. The cells are then tested to see if the virus is present. It is recommended that this culture test be taken soon after symptoms appear.
This type of test is not always reliable, though. If the sore is healing or if there are recurrent outbreaks, the test may give a false-negative. This means that the test reports that herpes isn't present when it actually is.
Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is a molecular diagnostic test. It detects genetic material of the virus. Like the viral culture, it can give a false-negative but, the PCR test is much more accurate.
Blood tests may be done to look for herpes simplex virus (HSV) antibodies. Antibodies are created by the immune system to fight foreign materials like viruses. Specific antibodies are made for specific viruses. If the blood tests show HSV antibodies, you are most likely infected with the virus.
Costs may prohibit some from seeking testing. Local community health or family planning centers may offer testing services including some free services.

It seems to me those who hated hated hated Moonrise Kingdom should pause to consider why it is beloved by many intelligent and well-adjusted critics and common citizens alike. To simply cry, "For the life of me, I just don't get it!" is, IMO, intellectual laziness and has a whiff of more-cynical-so-thus-hipper-than-thou.
Here's my attempt to explain the chasm between those who loved v. those who hated it (the old cliche of love and hate being flip sides of the same coin notwithstanding). Certain pieces of art impact us differently at different points in our lives after we've gone through certain experiences. How else can two rational and intelligent people absorb the Sam-Suzy relationship in diametrically opposing ways (M.Y.: "flat", "unbelievable"; Richard Brody: "astonishingly romantic")? For what it's worth, I loved Moonrise Kingdom and bought the Sam-Suzy chemistry. It's obviously not Realistic, but I saw it as a simulacrum of pre-teen romance. Puppy love is pure and naive in the best way possible, untainted by expectations and past heartache and the sad realization that human beings are essentially selfish. (Feel free to roll your eyes at me but I'll stand by that at the expense of my admission to Club Cool.) Juxtaposing Sam-Suzy are the adults. What M.Y. saw as panoramic inexpressiveness re: their sadness, I saw as the kind of weary surrender only decades of familiarity and dashed dreams can bring. The scene I am recalling is Bill Murray, lying in a separate bed from his wife, responding to the edict to quit feeling sorry for himself with, "Why?" That juxtaposition is key to what made the film work for me, the bizarre innocence of adolescent romance v. the bleakness of being mired in a perpetual mid-life crisis.
With that said, I can see how M.Y. interpreted Moonrise Kingdom the way M.Y. did. I'll venture a stupid wild-ass guess the author is relatively young and/or has not experienced reality-altering life events on the scale of a divorce or a cheating spouse or the hopelessness of a trapped, middle-class life. I freely admit I could be dead wrong, in which case I'd welcome a more thoughtful and nuanced fleshing out of the why and how this film can foment such polar opinions that perhaps the Prospero blog does not accommodate.

Quirky House with Great Features!
Our group had a great stay this past weekend! The house is exactly as pictured and is very spacious. The designs and art really give the house a unique personality! The caretaker was extremely helpful and courteous, and Mitch is great to work with and an excellent host! Thank you so much for the delicious snacks!

The death knells of one of Britain's longest standing soft porn publication, Page 3, were sounded quietly, with no formal announcement of the papers' new found modesty. Whether or not you see the demise of the breast baring beauties at part of the rise and fall of a long standing British tradition of cheeky smut that goes back to Victorian seaside amusement arcades, or see its inception, during the cultural revolution of the 60s as the point where the nation's stiff upper lip morality started to take a nosedive, until the late noughties when internet porn began to replace top shelf magazines and lads mags started to be soled in wipe clean plastic covers, there is no doubting that the hard fought feminist battle to remove nudity from the pages of mainstream tabloid press has scored a victory. Although bikini shots are still considered fair game, it seems.
But is it really a victory for feminism? Or is it or sign of the times prurience, in the face of moral confusion that objects in pricipal to full face burkas while bulking at bare breasts, that is, unless they are wholesomely feeding infants, in which case, it's breasts akimbo wherever you happen to be, unless it's Claridges; a confused national moral compass that that saw a facesitting demonstration at Westminster over porn censorship of wink wink nudge nudge proclivities as spanking which many saw as government interference in the bedroom, yet applauds the removal of post watershed material from the front pages of a, if you can call it such, a family paper. The national mood around boobs have taken something of a U-turn it seems, of late, where function is okay, but form, in all its youthful glory, plainly isn't.
Whatever your objection to Page 3, and I admit my own distaste and hasty embarrassment if I turn over the lurid headlines to a grinning temptress, complete with nipples and a pithy remark on the latest world events, is it actually feminist to ban it? Though it may be reductive to say the least, this poke of humour at an attractive young women – the joke as always, on her in that whatever she's saying is always bound to be as irrelevant – is a naked woman really, really always just a bit sexist?
Much though it might not be to my taste (and I an ex-stripper!) I wholly support any young woman's right to express her sexuality, however garishly, whether it's from the front pages of tomorrow's chip paper, or letting it all hang out in Torremolinos, however much the sight of too much flesh much not always be that appealing.
But in many cases it seems in the feminist circles, the more appealing flesh on display the more it rankles. Young women have few powers, attractive breasts often being one of them; so I say, use them well, but use them wisely. Because, and here's the rub – they don't last forever; and if you don't develop other talents in the meantime, your fall from grace as you inevitably wither and age, is spectacular and brutal. And this, I suspect it the maternal sentiment behind most female censure of a young woman exploiting her figure. Jealousy is less to do with it, although it no doubt plays a part.
Although I may envy a younger woman her form, I recognise its powers has its limitations, and she too will feel the bitter sting that comes when a perkier model inevitably takes her place. Being conventionally sexy feels, at times like a young woman's game – at least that's how I feel, these days – and it rarely comes with an insurance policy, or long term dividends if making a career out of it doesn't work out, although many a young woman taking advantage of her looks can secure a home/ footballer/ gossip column, for all the happiness it may bring her.
The aptly named Abi Titmuss is a case in point, garnering a successful career off the back of her perky bosom and, randomly, her relationship with shamed TV presenter John Lesley during the lads mag heyday of the late 90s and early noughties. She recently came out as saying she lost her sense of aelf esteem doing glamour work, and it' not hard to see why. Nuts and Zoo rained supreme, as the male answer to the cultural phenomenon that was Heat, with Loaded and FHM bringing up the rear so to speak, peppering their pictures of scantily clad women with articles that taught gauche young men the basics of getting dressed and holding a conversation. In fact, it so normalised the sexualisation of young women that its annual High Street Honeys feature encouraged readers girlfriends to show off their frillies in a saucy pic that no doubt largely ended up in the grubby hands of its youthful editorial team, all for the sake of the chance of getting your pic in the magazine. Sadly I was one of them who did. I'm not sure I wanted to prove from the experience. But there was a thrill and a freedom in being found sexually attractive, however publicly, that, for many a young women is never going to go away, whatever feminism has to say about it.
Obviously now, in my mid thirties with a daughter, I'm mildly embarrassed by my youthful shenanigans, but I can still look wistfully at the pictures to a lovely pair of mammaries that are sadly, no longer what they were, even if their publication never bought me anything but a vague sense of shame. But why should I be ashamed? To be fair, I look pretty hot. But society, feminism, in fact, tells me it's wrong to expose my flesh in a national publication.
And yet, still, I cringe when adverts for Victoria's Secret, today's premium answer to the Playboy bunny, comes on telly during the X-Factor, and watch my kids' expressions at this pre- watershed, out-of-step with the times statuesque parade of be-sequinned beauties. Having a child of of each gender, I can see in their innocent gazes, basic gender stereotypes being formed. The boy, the observer, the girl, the observed. My son can no less help his reaction to nudity, than my daughter, with her tendency to people please, can help understanding that female nudity causes a reaction, for all I help injure them to this fact by not making an issue out of nudity – my own, theirs, Tom's – at home. But soon, young and pretty, as she is, it is entirely within her scope to want to provoke a reaction when one is given, without necessarily understanding the consequences of society's general frowning on uninhibited female sexual liberation. Even now, I tut at her flashing her knickers unnecessarily and make her cover her flat little chest on the beach. But why? Because society says that what nice girls should do.
I shan't mourn the demise of Page 3, but it was at the thin end of the wedge of female objectification in today's world of instant online gratification, and seems rather innocent, even quaint by comparison. Men's magazines began to flounder when their darkest fantasy could be accessed at the click of a mouse. But it is a dangerous world indeed that has no middle ground of female sexual imagery for my son as a stepping stone to the cornucopia of delights and depravity that await him on line (although sadly, no spanking or water sports anymore). A world where women are discouraged from embracing their sexuality, but abuse, in dark corners, is rife is a also a very sad place indeed.
In any case, and updating this the day after posting, it sadly looks to be a false alarm.

Rose Bowl
Rose Bowl Tickets
Take a Limo to the Rose Bowl
Paula Deen Named Grand Marshal of Rose Parade
The Rose Bowl opened October 8 1922. It normally seats over 90,000 fans but has set a record holding over 105,000 ticket holders. It is an outdoor athletic stadium in Pasadena , California , close to Los Angeles . The stadium is overflowing with exciting history and the site of the annual college football bowl game, the Rose Bowl, held on New Year's Day. The stadium was given the name "Rose Bowl" by a police reporter named Harlan W. Hall, who had the Yale Bowl in mind when thinking of how an expanded structure would look. In 1982, it became the home field of the UCLA Bruins college football team of the Pac-10 Conference. It hosted events during the 1932 and 1984 Olympics, and was the venue for the 1994 FIFA World Cup Final and the 1999 FIFA Women's World Cup Final.
The most well known event of the Rose Bowl is the game now known as the Rose Bowl Game which was played at Tournament Park until 1922. After twelve years, the Tournament of Roses in Pasadena , California , was still struggling to attract interest in 1901, and its organizers were thinking of moving it from New Years Day to Washington's Birthday. James Wagner, a newcomer from the east, was elected president of the tournament in the fall of 1901. He suggested staging a post-season football game to draw more interest and spectators. The game eventually became very successful and the Pasadena Tournament of Roses Association, the game's organizer, realized that the temporary stands were inadequate for a crowd of more than 40,000, and sought to build a better, permanent stadium. and that they did. The stadium was designed by architect Myron Hunt in 1921. His design was influenced by the Yale Bowl in New Haven , Connecticut , which was built in 1914. The Arroyo Seco dry riverbed was selected as the location for the stadium. The Rose Bowl was under construction for about a year from 1921 to 1922. The design of the stadium was intended to accommodate as many patrons as possible, sitting close to the action. The first portion of the stadium was completed for less money than had been budgeted, and the seating capacity at the time was 57,000.
The stadium seating has been reconfigured several times since its original construction in 1922. The original wooden benches were replaced by aluminum benches in 1969. For many years, the Rose Bowl had the largest American Football stadium capacity in the United States . Now Pennsylvania State University 's upgrade to Beaver Stadium holds the record of (110,753) in 2000. The Rose Bowl's maximum stated seating capacity was 100,594 from 1972 to 1997. Capacity was lowered following the 1998 Rose Bowl when benches were replaced with individual seats except in the end-zones. Benches are not used for some events since the ticket holders can not see through the standing players or others on the field. As of 2008, the Rose Bowl is number eight on the List of American football stadiums by capacity, and is still the largest stadium that hosts post-season bowl games.
The first game was on October 28, 1922 between Cal State and The University of Southern California (USC). Cal defeated USC 120. This was the only loss for USC and California finished the season undefeated. California declined the invitation to the 1923 Rose Bowl game and USC went in their place.
In 1999, Sports Illustrated listed the Rose Bowl at number 20 in the Top 20 Venues of the Twentieth Century. In 2007, Sports Illustrated named the Rose Bowl the number one venue in college sports.
Currently construction has begun on the first phase of a three-year, $152 million renovation of the iconic 88-year-old sports venue. The renovation, due to be completed by January 2014, will ultimately expand the press box by increasing the number of premium seats from about 580 to about 2,400. ... In addition, the renovation will widen up to 12 access tunnels, double the number of concession stands and increase restrooms.

SM-liiga Game Day: 1-17-12Submitted by pete on January 17, 2012 - 21:04
SM-liiga (Finland):
Karpat 5 @ JYP 4 (OT)
Riku Helenius, JYP, ND, 9/11, 6.00 GAA, .818 sv%
Season totals: 22 GP, 15-6-0, 6 SO, 1.55 GAA, .935 sv%
Riku Helenius left today's game after 20 minutes after allowing 2 goals on 11 shots in JYP's 5-4 OT loss to Karpat. Initial reports indicate the hook was a coaches decision and not an injury. Ex-Bruins draft pick Ivan Huml scored the overtime winner and also had 2 assists for Karpat. JYP faces HIFK next on Friday.
KHL Game Day: 1-16-12Submitted by pete on January 16, 2012 - 19:10
KHL (Russia):
Cherepovets 3 @ Khabarovsk 2
Vasily Koshechkin, Cherepovets, DNP
Season totals: 25 GP, 13-8-0, 3 SO, 2.58 GAA, .919 sv%
Vasily Koshechkin sat backup in Cherepovets' 32 win over Khabarovsk. Ex-Devils draft pick Petr Vrana scored his 20th of the season in defeat for Amur. Cherepovets faces Novosibirsk next on Wednesday.
European Game Day: 1-14-12Submitted by pete on January 14, 2012 - 18:32
SM-liiga (Finland):
Riku Helenius, JYP, Win, 23/24, 1.00 GAA, .958 sv%
Season totals: 21 GP, 15-6-0, 6 SO, 1.48 GAA, .937 sv%
With Riku Helenius getting both ends of the back-to-back, it's fair to say he's moved past Joni Myllykoski and is now the clear #1 for JYP. He stopped 23 today in the club's 2-1 win over HPK and was named second star in the match. We may need to start the official campaign to bring Helenius back to North America on Bolt Prospects the way things are going. JYP has climbed into the top-6 in the SM-liiga and now faces Karpat on Tuesday.
KHL (Russia):
Cherepovets 4 @ Novokuznetsk 3 (SO)
Vasily Koshechkin, Cherepovets, Win, 23/27, 2.77 GAA, .889 sv%
Season totals: 25 GP, 13-8-0, 3 SO, 2.58 GAA, .919 sv%
Vasily Koshechkin stopped 2 of 3 shooters in the shootout session as Cherepovets defeated Novokuznetsk 4-3. As a reminder, Bolt Prospects tracks goaltender wins and losses according to North American scoring standards, so while Koshechkin doesn't get credit with a clean win by KHL statistics, he gets one in ours. Cherepovets faces Amur next on Monday.
MHL (Russia Jr.):
Ekaterinburg Jr. 5 @ Chelyabinsk Jr. 2
Nikita Nesterov, Chelyabinsk Jr., 0-0-0, -1, 2 PIM, 0 SOG
Season totals (MHL): 27 GP, 7-9-16, +9, 22 PIM
Season totals (KHL): 7 GP, 0-0-0, +9, 4 PIM
Nikita Nesterov was sent down to Chelyabinsk's MHL team and took a minor penalty and was -1 in their loss to Ekaterinburg Jr. The big club for Chelyabinsk plays Mytischi on Sunday. Chelyabinsk Jr. doesn't play again until Thursday against Magnitogorsk Jr.
Nikita Kucherov and CSKA Jr. don't play again until Wednesday against Minsk Jr.
Elitserien (Sweden):
Frolunda 1 @ Lulea 2 (SO)
Johan Harju, Lulea, 0-0-0, E, 2 PIM, 3 SOG
Season totals: 36 GP, 10-7-17, +7, 6 PIM
Johan Harju took a minor for holding and failed on his only shootout attempt in Lulea's 2-1 shootout win over Frolunda. Harju has fallen to 4th on the team in scoring. With 17 games left in the regular season, Lulea sits in 3rd in the league, 5 points back of Skelleftea for the top spot on the league table. Lulea draws Timra next on Thursday.

Perennial fountain grass
dhar2112February 22, 2013
I've seen clumps of these locally that get around 6 feet tall. I need the true perennial type that'll survive a MO (zone 5) winter. What is the type I'd need?
I doubt you're seeing "Fountain Grass" (Pennisetum) growing to 6 feet tall in your zone. The tallest I know of is Pennisetum orientale 'Tall Tails' which can hit 5 feet in warmer climates, but is hardy to zone 5.

bx behind baseboard....baseboard popping off!
Hi, everyone. We have BX wiring that is running behind our baseboard. Our walls are concrete, and I don't know if they dug out a channel for the wiring to be put into so the baseboard can be flush. But the baseboard looks terrible. I know they are not done with it, but basically the baseboard is popping off the wall. I was told the nails are not strong/long enough, and they need to get some special glue to hold the baseboard in place. Is this normal? Are they supposed to have dug a channel in the concrete wall for the wiring?
Is this an Insulated Concrete Form house? If so, a channel can be made in the foam insulation for the wiring. It depends on the type of interior finish walls. If you're looking at concrete inside, I do not know what is permitted under building codes as far as making a channel.
Hi, there. It's not an insulated concrete form house. It's a Manhattan apartment building constructed in the 50s with concrete walls, and no foam insulation. I know we are allowed to place the wires in the wall, but we just can't cut through any structural parts of the wall. I guess I was wondering if they could make a channel at the bottom of the wall.
YOU can not do anything with the wiring. An electrian can tell you what can be done. You can get oversized baseboards.

Robin Grille
Love, Fear, and Shame in Education
A thought-provoking discussion about revolutionary approaches to education that enhance learning and self-motivation, while dramatically reducing violence in schools.
This thought-provoking workshop is about an education revolution that is sweeping the world and transforming the classroom as we know it. You will discover that a new educational paradigm, based on collaboration, intrinsic motivation and children's individual interests, is having an unexpected result: it sharply reduces the incidence of bullying and school violence.
Topics we will explore:
Why student participation in curriculum design reduces violence and other behavioural problems in and out of the classroom.
Parenting for a Peaceful World
Robin Grille invites you on a journey that begins with the surprising and often shocking history and evolution of parenting. With the aid of recent revolutionary discoveries about early childhood development and the human brain, the history of childhood offers vital clues about the roots of human violence and social disharmony.
This inspirational lecture and interactive session, based on Robin Grille's book of the same title, will provide a fascinating look at parenting customs that have shaped societies and major world events, revealing how children adapt to parenting styles and how these experiences underpin the adults they become and, ultimately, the way the world is structured.
Robin Grille draws upon revolutionary new research to argue that safeguarding children's emotional development is the key to creating a more peaceful and harmonious world.
Robin emphasizes that our future rests on the way we care for parents, and the way we treat children. This presentation takes you from past horrors to present hope. You will learn how recent fundamental changes in child-rearing approaches have shifted human consciousness, giving birth to modern movements for human rights, justice, democracy, equality and sustainability. You will also learn how these universal issues impact on the way that we work with young children and their families.
Certainly, there is much more work to do. But what would the future hold for humanity if these positive reforms in child-rearing continue to grow? What is your personal role in this unfolding global movement?

A new study published Monday suggests human-caused climate warming is driving the drought that has crippled much of California, NBC News reported.
State wildlife officials say Northern California fishermen could be treated to an abundant salmon season this fall, despite the lingering drought.
California voters overwhelmingly see the state's ongoing water shortage as a serious problem, according to a Field Poll released Thursday.
As California's drought drags on, officials are cracking down on thieves who wrench open fire hydrants and ignore or tamper with meters to access one of the state's precious commodities -- water.
Cal Fire is ready to start focusing on a potentially early fire season. Applicants are expected to begin lining up outside the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection headquarters in Morgan Hill on...
"We're basically the canary in the coal mine," one owner said.
As bad as recent droughts in California, the Southwest and the Midwest have been, scientists say far worse "megadroughts" are coming -- and they're bound to last for decades.
The first significant rainfall since mid-December brought improved drought conditions to parts of California, but the February storms did not bring much-needed snow in the Sierra Nevada Mountain range where...
The federal government is offering up to $50 million for drought relief in western states as California enters its fourth dry year with no relief in sight during what is historically the state's rainy season.

Boys Hockey: Chaska scores in bunches to knock off Wingers
Friday's Missota Conference hockey game between Red Wing and Chaska was a game of minutes.
Through the first 34 minutes, the Wingers and Hawks were playing even, with Chaska holding a slim 2-1 lead through two periods.
But in the third, 11 minutes worth of penalties and a pair of Hawks goals coming in a short span kept Red Wing out of the win column as Chaska clinched a 4-1 victory at Prairie Island Arena.

Tech News & Commentary
Google (GOOG) dubbed the newest addition to its Chromebook line "Pixel" because, well, it has lots of pixels. The search giant leader says it has 4.3 million pixels, or 239 per square inch, to be precise.
Google says "leading laptops" average of about 118 pixels per inch.
Screen resolution, of course, is a laptop selling point, but it seems to me that it's become an even more important selling point since Apple (AAPL) released its "Retina Display" MacBooks last year.
Thinkstock View Enlarged Image
So, is Google's Pixel the market leader by pixel count? Let's look at some competitors.
The best-selling laptop (aside from the No. 1-selling Samsung Chromebook) on Amazon.com (AMZN) is Dell's (DELL) Inspiron 15R. According to Dell's website, that laptop's display has a resolution of 1366 x 768, or about 1 million pixels. That computer has a 15.6-inch screen (screens are measured diagonally) vs. 12.85 inches for the new Chromebook, but has less than a quarter the total pixels.
Another top-seller on Amazon is the Toshiba Satellite C855D. That 15.6-inch computer also has about 1 million pixels, resolution 1366 x 768 pixels.
But let's compare Chromebook Pixel to one of the reigning champions of pixel density: Apple's "Retina Display" MacBook Pro.
The 13.3-inch MacBook is a little bigger than Pixel. The "Retina Display" version has a resolution of 2560 x 1600 pixels, or about 227 per square inch. That's actually a little less than the smaller-screened Pixel, which has 2560 x 1700 pixels at 239 dots per inch.
Pixel has 4.3 million pixels, while the MacBooks have about 4.1 million.
So, if the pixel count is the most important feature for you, the Chromebook Pixel might be for you.
Of course, it has drawbacks. The Chromebook only runs on the cloud, meaning that it doesn't run programs like Apple iTunes or Adobe Systems' (ADBE) Photoshop. Google would like to steer you to use Google's Drive document system and its Play music library.
And at least a few reviewers have taken issue with Pixel's lofty price tag, since it does lack a lot of other standard laptop features.
MacBook Air laptops and some PCs cost about the same as the $1,299 Pixel and "do an awful lot more," wrote Matt Warman, a reviewer for the U.K.'s The Telegraph. "They're also lighter and arguably even better designed. So who should buy a heavy, less capable version of an Air?"

Chris Brown's attorney is determined to prove rapper Drake was responsible for starting the violent club brawl in New York which left the R&B singer with a bloody cut on his chin.
The "Kiss Kiss" hitmaker was hit in the face with a bottle during the Wednesday night fight at Manhattan hotspot W.i.P., which erupted when tension between the two artists' entourages boiled over.
RELATED: Chris Brown's Highs and Lows
Reports suggest Brown sent Drake a bottle of champagne to show he had no hard feelings over their shared love for his ex-girlfriend Rihanna, but the peace offering was allegedly rejected by the rapper, who is said to have sent back an insulting note which made reference to the "Umbrella" beauty.
Police are now investigating the incident, although a spokesperson for Drake dismissed the rumors and insisted the hip-hop star "did not participate in any wrongdoing of any kind" and was "on his way out of the club" when the altercation began.
RELATED: Rihanna on Chris Brown Breakup: 'That Was My Liberation'
Surveillance footage from the venue has reportedly proved useless to detectives' case, but Brown's legal representative, Mark Geragos, claims he has proof that Drake was at the center of the violence.
He tells the New York Post, "I have turned over evidence that it was Drake who instigated this. The evidence makes it clear that Chris is the victim in all of this."
RELATED: Best Pop Culture Dancers
"I believe the police are building a case against Drake and his thugs. Clearly, Drake was the instigator, and there is evidence he threw glassware."
Brown wasn't the only one hurt in the melee - basketball ace Tony Parker, who was also present at the club, got glass in his eye and four others were left with nasty injuries too.

I'm thinking about getting the canner fired up tomorrow and putting some of this excess turkey in jars. Anyone else here doing this?
What leftover turkey?!?!
Seriously, that's a great idea. I didn't even think of that. We got a pretty small turkey this year, and last night's spicy turkey enchiladas took care of most of the leftovers but for next year that's something I should consider.
It never lasts that long around here. I am one hungry SOB and I have 2 young boys that can eat too.
Turkey is much better after Thanksgiving day. There is something magical that happens when you simmer sliced turkey in gravy and ladle it over toast or mashed potatoes. It is all gone as of tonight.
Around Maine we use the term "put up". For example you wouldn't say "I canned 12 jars of green beans", rather "I put up 12 jars of green beans".
Good luck with the canning. Maybe pickled turkey?
I like beer
I made two large turkeys. We did make a large batch of turkey rice soup, but there's still turkey left.
We have company coming for Christmas, and my wife want's to make turkey then, too (it's the guest's request). So it got me thinking about packing turkey in water and using it like canned chicken later.
I love cooking this time of year, so having tons of leftovers in the fridge is pointless.
Sounds like a good plan.
I just cooked a 13lber for my wife, son, and I. We've been eating on it constantly. I think we're going to make a pot pie with some tomorrow, so that should take care of most of it.
I'm surprised to say, I haven't tired of it yet.
Deep freeze it?
That's what we do for the carcass, later turned into Turkey Soup.
I just think of potted meat, lost a bet and had to eat a can of that, ew.

Well This year I took home some leftovers so have about two servings of turkey to either make soup with or reheat straight up. However I do have two small turkeys in the freezer that I picked up for .69 cents a pound that may end up being canned, or one of those at least.
I did pick up some turkey necks to freeze, and I did use the left over leg bones I had from the bag I took home and four turkey necks last night..
To make some very rich turkey stock which was canned.
Does that count?

Maybe something along those lines:http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Confit
Never done it with turkey, but the goos and duck canned this way is pure delight.
Will be canning turkey broth tomorrow morning - we used the bones and various vegetables to make the broth. We vacuum packed and froze our left over turkey meat in 8.5 ounce batches. I did buy an additional 2 - 22 pound turkeys that I will be smoking and canning in the next month or so.
2 jars of white, 1 jar of dark meat canned tonight. Just removed them from the canner. I just heard the lid on one of them pop, so I know they are sealing. I'm gonna wait a month and test. Wish me luck.
