Guest Commentary (4016)
Mike Huckabee's Hashtag Should Be #Hypocrisy
With Jeb Bush is in full presidential exploration mode, Mitt Romney keeping us all on the edge of our seats about whether he'll toss his hat into the ring yet again, New Jersey Governor Chris Christie taking it on the chin for being a Dallas Cowboy/Jerry Jones fan-boy while awaiting more Bridge-gate investigations to unfold, Dr. Ben Carson patenting the crazy, Ted Cruz being … well … Ted Cruz, Rand Paul being … well … Rand Paul, how is Mike Huckabee, the former Arkansas Governor and former Fox News Channel talk show host, going to get any play?
The answer is simple: Excoriate President Barack Obama and Michelle Obama for their bad parenting choices in allowing their daughters to listen to the music of Beyoncé, which in Huckabee's new book titled God, Guns, Grits, and Gravy, he calls "obnoxious and toxic mental poison."
In an interview with People magazine, Huckabee said: "I don't understand how on one hand they can be such doting parents and so careful about the intake of everything - how much broccoli they eat and where they go to school ... and yet they don't see anything that might not be suitable [in the lyrics and a Beyoncé choreography] best left for the privacy of her bedroom."
Swing State Ohio Is Plunging Ever Deeper Into the Fossil Fuel and Nuke Abyss
Swing state Ohio is plunging ever deeper into the fossil/nuke abyss.
Its Public Utilities Commission may soon gouge the public for $3 billion (BILLION!) to subsidize two filthy 50-year-old coal burners and America's most dangerous nuke.
Approval would seal Ohio's death notice.
None of those coal/nuke burners can compete with the rising revolution in renewable energy. Throughout the world, similar outmoded facilities are shutting down.
The Charlie Hebdo Massacre: The Right-Wing Benefits
Much has been written about the horror perpetrated on journalists at the French satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo, and shoppers at a kosher grocery store in store in Paris on January 7-8, 2015. One question about which not much has been written, about the attacks and their aftermaths, is the old one from the days of Rome: "Cui Bono" (who benefits)? But before we get to that one, let's consider who didn't.
First of all, the two brothers who committed the massacre at Charlie Hebdo, Cherif and Said Kouachi, said that they were doing it avenge the various depictions of the Prophet Mohammed that they found sacrilegious (the latter, of course, like obscenity, all being in the eye of the beholder). Well, A) they are dead and B) their actions will hardly stop others from depicting the Prophet in the terms that Charlie Hebdo did, or worse. (Of course, in their next issue, the Charlie Hebdo survivors came out with a depiction of Mohammed, sympathetically this time, but nevertheless, a prohibited "graven image.")
Then there was Amedy Coulibaly, the killer at the Jewish grocery. He said that he was protesting against the US, French, and other interventions in the Middle East. Well, there are lots of opponents of those actions, both in the Muslim (and especially Arab) and Western worlds (including yours truly and, I might surmise, many of the readers of BuzzFlash). Coulibaly's action is unlikely to win over many, if any, converts to his cause. So neither they (to be sure) nor their causes can said to have benefitted.
The United States Is Imploding
The United States is gradually, but unrelentingly, destroying part of itself. The facts to support this are well-documented, told in many ways from past to present.
The most egregious example of Americide is our country's treatment of African-Americans. Almost everyone agrees about the evils of slavery, once dismissed simply as a Peculiar Institution. But a debate goes on about reparations, with passionate arguments on both sides, ranging from a demand for a Reparations Superfund for jobs and education, to a claim that blacks actually benefited from slavery because of the years of 'reparations' received through poverty programs.
Reparations opponents insist that there is no clear modern connection to the era of slavery. But there is a connection, and it's exhibited in the many profitable corporations -- manufacturers, banks, insurance, railroad -- that had their roots in slavery. Reparations haven't been paid, or, if they have been extended in the form of poverty programs, they haven't worked. Standards of living for blacks have worsened relative to whites in the past half-century. Many of the modern-day practices of our free-market capitalist system are at least partly responsible for this.
USDA Green-Lights Yet Another Monsanto GMO Crop
genetically engineered dicamba-tolerant soybeans and cotton. This approval follows that of 2,4-D tolerant soybeans and corn, billed as the next generation of herbicide-tolerant crops to tackle glyphosate (Roundup)-resistant weeds.Today, the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) approved the sale and planting of Monsanto's
Dicamba-tolerant soy and cotton are simply the latest example of USDA's allegiance to the biotechnology industry and dependence upon chemical solutions. This continues the disturbing trend of more herbicide-tolerant crop approvals taking place under President Obama's watch.
Once again, the USDA has neglected to look at the full range of impacts associated with these GMO herbicide-tolerant crops. Instead the agency has opted for a short-term solution to superweeds that have become resistant to herbicides because of previous approvals of GMOs, thereby perpetuating and escalating chemical use.
The USDA's Environmental Impact Statement predicted that dicamba use will increase 88-fold and 14-fold for soybeans and cotton, respectively, compared to current levels. Dicamba-tolerant crops will allow for wider windows of spraying throughout the season at unprecedented levels. Now that dicamba will be used in larger quantities, Monsanto has petitioned the Environmental Protection Agency to increase the tolerance level of dicamba on cottonseed 150-fold. Higher levels of dicamba in the environment and our food pose unacceptable risks to human health and a wide variety of flora and fauna.
Right-Wingers Call Pope Francis a Communist/Marxist, Because of Course They Do
I can't be absolutely certain, but I'm pretty sure that Pope Francis is not walking around with Mao's Red Book stuffed into an inside pocket of his papal robes, or that he's starting a study group for Das Capital. Nevertheless, with the release of a new book titled "Pope Francis: This Economy Kills," the Pope's critics are sure to ratchet up their labeling of him with the "C" word (Communist), and the "M" word (Marxist). The Christian Post headlined its recent story about the new report: "Communist or Christian? Pope Francis Defends Vatican Report Titled 'This Economy Kills' in Criticism of Global Financial System."
Stoyan Zaimov's story in the CP (oops, there we go again), uh ... Christian Post, starts by pointing out that Pope Francis maintains he's not a communist, but he says that he will continue to criticize the global economic system because of "Jesus' call for Christians to serve the poor."
"Jesus affirms that you cannot serve two masters, God and wealth," Francis said in an interview with the Italian newspaper La Stampa. "Is it pauperism? No, it is the Gospel."
Pope Francis said that "Markets and financial speculation cannot enjoy absolute autonomy. We cannot wait any longer to resolve the structural causes of poverty in order to cure our society of an illness that can only lead to new crises."
Robert Redford: Why Keystone XL Is the Wrong Choice for the US
Keystone XL pipeline for dirty tar sands oil. President Obama announced he will veto bills that bypass the official review of Keystone XL.The new Republican majority in Congress wants to force approval of the
There are plenty of reasons to block these bills and this pipeline.
Keystone XL would carry the dirtiest oil on the planet from Canada through the American heartland. The vast majority of it would be shipped overseas, while people here at home cope with the threat of contaminated water and difficult-to-clean-up oil spills.
Polluters are fighting hard to get Keystone approved. The oil and gas industry pumped $53.1 million into last year's congressional campaigns—87 percent of which went to Republican candidates. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell raked in $608,000 from the industry for his 2014 campaign, and now he is putting Keystone XL at the heart of his big polluter agenda.
But this isn't just a battle over industry influence. This is a choice about the kind of nation we want to live in.
Partners in Terror: This Is Bigger Than Satire
"Je suis Charlie. Tout est pardonné."
Muhammad in tears adorns the new cover of Charlie Hebdo: "I am Charlie. All is forgiven." This is bigger than satire.
I take a deep breath, uncertain how to write about last week's insane shooting spree in Paris. My daughter and her husband live there. "Things are normal," she told me a few days afterward, "but there's a presence — this thing that has happened. It's in the air."
A few days later I came upon this headline at the McClatchy Washington bureau website: "U.S. airstrike in Syria may have killed 50 civilians."
The story reports: "The civilians were being held in a makeshift jail in the town of Al Bab, close to the Turkish border, when the aircraft struck on the evening of Dec. 28, the witnesses said. The building, called the Al Saraya, a government center, was leveled in the airstrike. It was days before civil defense workers could dig out the victims' bodies."
The building, in fact, had been turned into a jail by Islamic State police. It contained guards and between 35 and more than 50 prisoners, according to different witnesses' accounts. The prisoners "had been jailed shortly before the airstrike for minor infractions of the Islamic State's harsh interpretation of Islamic law, such as smoking, wearing jeans or appearing too late for the afternoon prayer."
IS arrested them. We killed them. Partners in terror.
Sen. Bernie Sanders Asks: Does Congress Believe Climate Change Is Real?
Keystone XL pipeline and yesterday Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont put his pledge to the test. Sanders introduced an amendment that would officially put Congress on record with their position on climate change. Sanders amendment will be offered to a bill that would force approval of the Keystone XL pipeline.Senate Majority leader Mitch McConnell promised to allow an open amendment process for the
Sanders amendment asks:
It is the sense of Congress that Congress is in agreement with the opinion of virtually the entire worldwide scientific community that—
- climate change is real
- climate change is caused by human activities
- climate change has already caused devastating problems in the U.S. and around the world
- a brief window of opportunity exists before the United States and the entire planet suffer irreparable harm; and
- it is imperative that the United States transform its energy system away from fossil fuels and toward energy efficiency and sustainable energy."
"The American people need to know whether Congress is listening to the overwhelming majority of scientists when it comes to climate change," Sanders said. "On this issue, the scientists have been virtually unanimous in saying that climate change is real, it is caused by human action, it is already causing devastating problems which will only get worse in the future and that we need to transform our energy system away from fossil fuel. Do members of Congress believe the scientists or not?" he asked.
Attack on Charlie Hebdo Was God's Divine Retribution for Mocking Christianity, Says Religious Right Broadcaster
A prominent Christian right radio broadcaster recently claimed that the terrorist attacks in Paris was an example of God's use of "idolators" to punish the satirical magazine, Charlie Hebdo, for mocking Christianity. The perpetrators of the murderous attacks on the magazine, and a Jewish grocery store, stated that they were out to avenge the mocking of Muhammad by Charlie Hebdo. While both were correct in their assessments of the work of the cartoonists at Charlie Hebdo, and while they are not two peas from the same pod, their stated beliefs does make for a strange confluence of religiosity.
According to People for the American Way's Right Wing Watch, on a recent broadcast the American Family Association's Bryan Fischer claimed that the terrorist murders in Paris were actually God's way of punishing staff members of Charlie Hebdo for mocking Christianity.
"You shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain," Fischer told his listeners. "They [Charlie Hebdo] made a career out of taking the name of God, the God of the Bible, the father of the Lord Jesus," Fischer added.

Mieres delighted with Camacho capture

Mieres will hope to cement himself as the Chiefs' first-choice No.10 next season © Getty Images
Exeter Chiefs fly-half Ignacio Mieres is delighted with the signing of fellow Argentinean Gonzalo Camacho and believes the Devon side have secured a "quality player" ahead of the 2011-12 Premiership season.
The Argentinean internationals both grew up in Buenos Aires and are close friends off the field. While Mieres has reported back for training at Sandy Park, Exeter supporters will be forced to wait a while longer to see their new winger, Camacho, who is likely to be travelling to New Zealand with the Argentinean national side. "I have known Gonzalo for a couple of years and he is a really good guy - I know him pretty well," Mieres said.
"It's really good now to have another Argentinean player in the squad, especially as he's a great player and a really good lad too. I have played with him before and also against him - and he is a quality player. He is fast and strong and he likes to tackle."
Mieres joined the Devon side from Stade Francais last October and will hope to cement himself as the club's first-choice fly-half ahead of the 2011-12 season. Fellow rival for the stand-off spot Ryan Davies has opted to join Wasps while Exeter head coach Rob Baxter opted for Gareth Steenson as their first choice ten last season, but Mieres did start their final two games of the season and earned himself a new 12-month contract. For Mieres, the 2011-12 season gives the Chiefs the opportunity to prove that their impressive first season was not a fluke.
"All the boys are excited about the season ahead," Mieres said. "We know that the clubs in the division will look at us differently and we will have to play even better to beat them. But it is also a challenge we are all looking forward to - we will have to perform even better this season."
"I heard from the guys that last year's pre-season was really tough but very useful and an important reason for us having such a good season," Mieres said. "I was looking forward to it this year, and so I am really happy to be doing it and I think it is going really well. I had already been training hard during the off-season in Argentina because I was due to play with the Pumas. Unfortunately I couldn't play but I have still kept myself in very good shape all throughout the summer, so I feel really fit for the season ahead."

Specific exercises for osteoporosis
mollie_bookloverJune 24, 2006
Recently diagnosed with "severe" osteoporosis. I think much due to chemo a few years ago.
Anyone know good exercises and those to avoid? I know lifting weights and walking are good. Anything else? TIA!
Would you be able to visit a physical therapist for advice on the best exercises for you? Weight bearing exercise is usually the most helpful, but to get specific exercises for yourself to help build bone and not hurt yourself would best come from a professional.
Weight-bearing exercise is the best for osteoporosis. There are a couple books you can pick up on Amazon.com. I think one is called "Exercises for Osteoporosis."

Got some hoyas today!
Got these from Joni today...very pleased with the size and health of the plants. Only H. lacunosa 'sno caps' looks like it suffered any from the trip.
H. Fitchii. I was wondering if I can clip it so it can climb? How does this normally grow?
H. lacunosa 'sno caps'. I know it hangs so I'm just gonna let it do its thing.
H. cumingiana. I don't know why, but I love these leaves.
She was even sweet enough to include two hanging pots, as well as clips and a magnet! I didn't expect any of that and it was certainly a nice touch. Judging on the hoyas alone, I will be ordering again. Probably very soon.
I'm officially addicted. My wallet weeps.
Love the pictures, goddess! Your plants look fantastic. I just adore it when people post pictures of new purchases because I like to live vicariously. >:)
You certainly can clip the fitchii if you want. I grow one loose and one pinned up and if it has a preference it hasn't let me know.
Glad everything showed up so peachy. Joni... she's a good egg. Like a monk on a mountain, that one.
Very clear and beautiful pictures, goddes9.
It's kind of nice to see what I'm missing on, in a weird way... I almost ordered from SRQhoyas two days ago, but due to some usability problems on her site and the difficulty of importing from non-EU countries I decided not to, especially since she was out of one particular plant I wanted.
I see that she ships great product, but unfortunately I can't get my hands on her nicely labeled ready made pots -- importing potted plants in soil is not allowed, and I'd need a phyto too. Maybe I'll decide to refresh my shaky Swedish (Stenåsa) or German (Kakteen-Haage)?
So I guess I'm living throug you too, and it's very nice of you to enable that!
Lauren, yes I am. :)
Thanks for the size reference in the photos, by the way! In the past some Hoya leaves have been smaller than I expected. I guess that's a good thing since I have quite a few already.
I've seen group orders happen here, and that way you could get past that phyto issue and order from Thailand. I researched that option too during the weekend, and found out that additional taxes and customs duties can go up that way, however, since they have a minimum charge and below that you pay nothing.
Anyway, the season is only beginning, and I'm sure us others will also find treasures later on!
What's your take on ordering plants, by the way: are you an optimist and order small or would you rather splurge and make just one big order? Just curious, I'll be prudent of course ;)
Hehe, I knew my love for hockey would help me one day!
That does sound like a big hassle, but the reward seems equal to or better than that. As for ordering, this was a *test* order to see what size the Hoyas were and to see if they were healthy. I always do a test run with particular vendors before I make big splurges...I'm just cautious like that. Joni passed the test and I will definitely be giving her my business again. (Besides, I do non-profit work so my wallet cannot handle a 10+ plant order! Phew.)
As you see, the lacunosa is in this teeny pot but there is plenty of plant in there. That's a fair deal to me.
Which Hoyas do you have?
I received an order from Joni yesterday too, it is so much fun to get a package in the mail! I received:
H. wibergia
H. camphorifolia
H. meliflua
H. fitchii
H. diptera
I clipped my fitchii up but haven't decided if I will leave it that way. I am fairly limited in locations to hang plants so have been putting most of mine on a trellis. I prefer the look of the hanging plants.
They were all in great shape, as usual. I haven't decided exactly what I will include in my April order yet. Too many to choose from and so little money to spend!
Hey I wonder if she ever has any of those space saver specials again (read about them on older posts).
You really know your hockey, Lauren! That's what we do. But, I am severely sports-challenged myself.
I agree on the size of your lacunosa, definitely better than just a cutting but you'll get to see it grow into a big plant because of your own effort. Good deal!
I did have more hoyas, but at the moment I only have these:
Hoya pubicalyx 'Pink Silver'
H. carnosa Tricolor/krimson princess
H. serpens
H. lacunosa
H. cv 'Mathilde'
H. obscura
H. Pubicalyx Royal Hawaiian Purple
H. obovata
H. wallichii
H. buotii
H. australis ssp. Tenuipes
H. carnosa 'Krinkle-8'
H. gracilis/ memoria
H. Metallica (H. sp. Laos x H. Vitellina)
H. thomsonii
I try to keep the numbers down, but they do make me happy. But so do these online photos. :)
Obscura is one of my smallest and youngest plants. It did take it's sweet time rooting, and now the roots are nice and fat, but it hasn't shown much new growth yet. That is undoubtedly because I moved and didn't provide any supplemental lighting during the Winter. Unlike many of my other Hoyas, it didn't seem to suffer though.
Obscura is now ready to start growing for the first time, and I'll move it into a better position, maybe even outside, as soon as the temperatures allow.
Thanks for reminding me about this one, it'll need more sun in order to develop those red leaves later this Summer.
Lauren, I finally got around to uploading some pictures. Hope you don't mind if I add them to your post. Mine are comparable in size to yours, sorry I didn't put something in the pictures for size comparison.
H. meliflua
H. fitchii
H. diptera
H. wibergia
Love the leaves on wibergia
H. camphorifolia
Please excuse the jerry rigged trellises, I really have to find some that look better than what I make. I am very pleased with them!
Hanna, I hope it responds with quick growth!
Tami, what wonderful hoyas! I don't mind one bit about putting pics up here. :)
Those are your hoops? What are they made of? I've been meaning to head to HD or Lowe's to get some materials for the hoops.
Thanks Lauren, I think I figured out how to resize the pictures on photobucket, now I just need to see how small to make them!
The wire is a plastic coated multi-purpose wire, called Anchor Wire. I purchased it at a small chain general hardware store here. I didn't find a gauge for the wire, but it does say it will hold 100 lbs. Hopefully, my hoyas won't get that big! The wire is heavy enough to stay bent without putting pressure on the sides of the pot which can distort the pot- I don't like to have weird shaped square pots. LOL!
Hope this is a better size.
H. camphorifolia
What were your usability problems? I used to have this problem where it refused to charge me shipping (LOL) but I'm guessing that wasn't your problem. I had heard the site was undergoing some deep updates so that might have been the culprit.
Although there's always a way to get around it, I actually think it's kind of cool that we all have a different set of vendors that are "easy" for us. Sometimes it makes it more exciting when people show off their plants, because it gives you a taste of a whole set of Hoyas that aren't on your radar yet. Personally, I've always thought Metallica sounded like a cool cultivar. And I could complete my Metallica collection! I think there's one in every plant group. I like to pretend there is ONE cultivator who is creating them all and naming them after his favorite band.
I thought your small order/big order question was really fun. I always tell myself that I am going to "test out a vendor" like goddess and then I get overexcited and buy a whole boxful. I think the only times I've ever bought /Susan
lol I forgot about those 'space saver' ones (link here). I'm not sure it would be much use to me, but it's a fun idea. It makes me smile the way she's always mixing it up. You never know what's going to be going on next. I thought the "plant experiences review" for points was pretty entertaining, but I haven't checked lately to see what new reviews people have posted. That could maybe become a cool resource though.
I don't grow the standard obscura, but I do grow the obscura 'White Form' and one that came labeled as obscura longipedunculata that is really quite different. The longipedunculata was such a PITA for its beginning years. I mean it was never in danger of dying, but it was always dropping leaves whenever I watered it a day late. A bit of a drama queen. You know the type? I had the same issue with 'White Form' but it got over the phase MUCH faster. The good thing is they really aren't hard to grow and I think they are beautiful, especially 'White Form.' There's something about those leaves - lovely and instantly recognizeable. I'm kind of hoping to get the standard obscura now.
I really love the leaves on wibergiae, too! I can take or leave the pale speckles but when leaves have that licheny look, it's my fave.
FYI, Obviously you figured it out, but for others the picture size displayed during your "post preview" is indeed the size that will show up. Nice tweaking!
Nice pictures luvidaho_2010! I wouldn't mind owning that wibergiae myself. It has been on my shopping list for a while.
greedyghost, since you asked: I had problems with the site logging me out, and after that logging in again was either successful or not. This happened several times and the reasons stated varied. I used Firefox, and Joni seems to believe that this browser doesn't suffer from these problems. Mine did :(
Then there's the standard webstore stuff of products starting with letters 'G-M', for example, not displaying as a single page, which makes searching more time consuming and harder on my poor mouse hand. Often on similar sites I don't even notice there's more at first!
Also, I'm uncomfortable giving my personal details such as name, address and e-mail just to see the prices. Usually I'd just walk away from sites that necessitate that, but these are HOYAs afterall and SRQhoyas comes highly recommended.
Since Joni seems to be well-liked and her Hoyas are competitive in size, health and price, it would be nice if she didn't loose sales because of these too common issues. Maybe she still moves everything she's got, I don't know.
I totally hear you, kukka. I'm not a huge fan of sites that require you to navigate through multiple sub-sections either. I know it's so you can show the picture next to each plant and still accommodate people with slow connections, but I had the same experience as you my first visit (where I thought I'd reached the end and I hadn't).
On the other extreme, TG does put his catalogue on one page, so you can browse through everything really easily. But if I don't let it finish loading all the pictures before I start looking around, (and it takes a while) my browser totally flips out. So, that's kind of annoying too lol. I've never tried navigating it on my phone, but I bet my 3G connection would just flip me the bird. So, even though most people's internet connections have sped up, web designers still have to consider the needs of mobile users.
Maybe there's no pleasing us, but I've always thought it would be fun to design a website for one of these plant vendors since I spend so much time on their sites LOL. I used to fantasize about running some kind of plant for code trade past the people at Violet Barn before they (thankfully!) did a massive rehaul. Maybe I'll work the kinks out of my ideas in the form of a personal site one day. What I'd really like to see is a site that tags all the entries according to many different sets of characteristics (e.g. variegation, cultivars, Eriostemmas) and allows you to jump right to that subset. And maybe that has multiple view preferences, so you could see all the plants with images, or just the straight list. And lets you sort things. I'm big on sorting. Wow, you really got me going, kukka. ^_~
Joni didn't always require you to log in. It's a recent solution to some bandwidth problems she was having. I agree that I wouldn't provide my personal information to just anyone, but I long ago just gave up and developed a disposable email for such situations. At least Joni explained her need, so now I understand a bit more why some sites might innocently require it. You could always just provide fake data if you were uncomfortable - they're just trying to sort the machines from the live bodies.
The log out issue is weird! I never encountered anything like that and I use firefox too. But I do notice that I have to log in quite a bit. Like, if I navigate away or leave it idle for too long. Unlike some sites that creepily still have my basket full a month later. I'm not sure which I prefer... but it's definitely too often if you can't even keep your basket full lol.
I totally agree that web issues like this should be solved. On one hand we should be sensitive to the fact that no business can address their whole to-do list at once. On the other hand, you can tell by the fact that she's always making changes and explaining them on her homepage, that Joni's one of those folk who are very interested in knowing what's problematic so they can fix it. So I'm glad you spoke to her directly about your problems. I don't know what your experiences are, but I have to say, with all its faults, the SRQ site is still one of the better plant vendor websites I've been to. I mean, we're talking about a hobby where many of the major vendors still require you to send a check and wish list through the mail.
Lol well maybe not in Finland. But out here in the wild west we're still clinging to the Pony Express. :P
Greedyghost, you are totally right about SRQhoyas being one of the better sites, worldwide.
If compromised need to be made, it is at least nice to know what the reasons are.
I wouldn't b*tch about it if I wasn't worried about good vendors getting out of Hoya business eventually, before I actually get around to sending my order...:O
Of course I would help you design a site with a dedicated mobile version, and you could code it with those great tagging/sorting functionalities, and maybe Mike could use some of his time re-tagging when all the Hoya names and sections change ;)
And yes, h. Metallica is a pleasant one -- it has dark splotches as well as light ones and an oddly bumpy leaf texture. I have wondered about the name as well.
lol! Kukka, I totally understand. Sometimes it feels like we're such a small market, we can hardly expect them to keep serving us. But we neeeeeeeed our Hoyas! XD
I love your Hoya web dream team, btw. We'll give those orchid sites a run for their money.

The Nassau County Department of Social Services has recently uncovered $250,000 in welfare fraud, adding to the $15 million total of cost savings for 2011, according to a statement.
Among the most recent cases referred for criminal prosecution to the District Attorney's office included an Elmont woman who lived with her husband but fraudulently allegedly collected $10,407 in assistance as a single mom and a woman from Great Neck who owned a bakery allegedly lied on her Medicaid and day care applications when she reported that she only worked as cashier and waitress at the shop, qualifying for $34,290 in benefits.
In addition, Greenvale couple allegedly lied to the county to illegally obtain $14,996 in Medicaid benefits, reporting that they only worked at a Manhattan sushi restaurant and Manhasset beauty salon, even though the couple owned both businesses but submitted forged employment and income documents. An Oceanside couple who own a dry-cleaning business also allegedly failed to report their true income when they applied for Medicaid in 2004, fraudulently reaping $78,606 in benefits over an eight-year period, according to the statement.
"Medicaid fraud is a crime against every taxpayer," County Executive Ed Mangano said in the statement. "In Nassau County, we are doing everything in our power to root out, deny and prosecute individuals who are not entitled to benefits or who receive benefits through criminal behavior."

"Iditarod is everything," says Jenn. "It is all-consuming, life-giving, spirit-rejuvenating insanity…and I only wish it could last forever."
Watch three videos of Lance and Jason Mackey discussing dog deaths, saving another musher's team, and if they have another 1,000-mile race left.
From halfway awards to best dog care to rookie of the year, the annual banquet that closes the Iditarod allowed mushers to tell stories about their own Last Great Race.
Kelly Maixner and Bethel's Pete Kaiser battled for their Iditarod finish in a pack of 5 mushers crossing under the Burled Arch within an hour of each other early Thursday morning.
Martin Buser finished his 32nd Iditarod Thursday morning, pulling under the Burled Arch to a cheering crowd of friends and family.
Kotzebue's John Baker and Aniak's Richie Diehl make a good showing for Western Alaska in Iditarod 43 — finishing 21st and 23rd, respectively.
Wade Marrs, in his best Iditarod finish yet — 8th place — also sets the 2015 pace for the fastest Safety-to-Nome run, at 2 hours and 30 minutes.
Ken Anderson and Nicolas Petit round out the top 10 finishers for Iditarod 43, in 9th and 10th respectively.
At the Nome finish line on Wednesday, Jeff King waxed nostalgic, full of stories, about a very memorable Iditarod this year. But he was also ready for rest.

3 Days in Dubai

Shopping Guide for Dubai
I loved this day. It was an amazing experience. Only cost approx £4.00 for general arena. Very close view of the horses and the track. Much more extravagant than any race in England. Saw Michael Owen. The Dubai royal family. And Kylie Minogue closed the show. It was an amazing day.
What an experience for such a great price. We were able to go and get general admission for very cheap. It looks more like a football stadium from the outside than a horse track. If you can go for a race I would recommend it. Only downside is there is not betting allowed at the track.
Had a great time at World Cup. Loved the show and fireworks! Parking was a bit of a hassle, but getting out after was easier than expected.
Overall a great experience and I would definitely return to attend the World Cup again in the future.
For people familiar with Dubai you'll be used the shambolic organisation of logistics and the poor communication of information.
We booked tickets for the Gallery (around £275 per head). The info pack told us to go to Gate F. When the taxi...
Meydan is a spectacular horse racing track. Perhaps the best in the world. But as with sporting facilities of this size, it needs the crowds to bring atmosphere and do it justice.
Also the absense of betting facilities will reduce the impact to Westerners who are used to this adding to 'the package' of a day at the races.
You could go right up and touch the horses! You get to go down into the jockey's room and out into the winner's circle. Really enjoyed it
It was our second visit to the Tiered Restaurant and just like the first visit the food and service were hard to fault. I recommend a night out, even if you are not a horse racing fan as it is always fun, with a chance to win a few prizes and also the meal is great value for money and...
We had an enjoyable evening at Meydan racecourse, although regular British race goers who we met there were disappointed at the lack of atmosphere, There is no Gambling in UAE. And this they felt detracted fro their enjoy,net. However, we enjoyed the spectacle of the racing .
2 nights racing whilst we were in Dubai. We had an absolutely fantastic evening on both occasions. Excellent choice of food and drink, brilliant waiters/ waitresses. Good views of the racing if you get a table by the window, however, there is a terrace where you can watch and savour the atmosphere. Great value for a night out.
Fantastic building and course. Whether at the Maydan Hotel for a meal or the tack for the races, the whole atmosphere is astounding. A dinner on the terrace whilst the races are on is a great experience. Watch the horses, which are treated like kings and in magnificent condition.

Customer Reviews
One Star to Four
I have been a premium subscriber for three years (best way to go, especially for someone outside of their favorite team's network) and to be honest, I have had many problems with this app. The reason I am leaving another review and now giving this four stars instead of one, is because I am honestly impressed with the improvements they have made this year to ensure a smooth roll out for the '15 season. First time in three years this app/package has been worth the money.
Only issue, the reason this rating is four stars instead of five, is the font size of the articles is too big since being switched to times new roman. Oh! And the cut4 articles are absolute garbage. A pathetic attempt at infusing pop culture into the sport. If anything, just bring back FanCave and call it a day.
Spring training!
Update: No ads issues anymore. 5 stars.
Really smooth app as usual. Love the new team section.
volume slider?
great app, miss the volume slider. on the iPhone, when adjusting the volume it blocks the screen. before the slider would take care of it and no blocking. need to pause the video and adjust volume.

Napkin Sketch Stage
By Napkin Sketch, LLC
Open iTunes to buy and download apps.
Do away with using overly complicated software to create a stage plot or resorting to drawing on a bar napkin. Napkin Sketch, the app, is your answer! To create a sketch, simply pick your stage size, drag and drop elements onto the sketch and when you're done, either e-mail or save the sketch right to your camera roll! Want to come back to a sketch? File it away and you can always edit it later. So easy… a musician can do it! (Ok, we're kidding about the musician part, but seriously this app is easy to use!)
Ok, so what's the difference between the basic app and the professional upgrade? I'm glad you asked. Both apps function exactly the same way, and give you the same features, same ability to save and send sketches. However, the pro upgrade gives those users who's needs are a little more demanding some extra tools.
There are 3 main differences between the basic app and pro upgrade are:
In the basic version, the sketcher is given the three most common stage sizes to start sketching with; 24'x32', 40'x40' and 60'x40'. In the pro version, you can enter your own stage sizes.
Also, in the basic version, the sketcher is limited to just basic stage shapes, however the pro version adds a stage editor tab that allows the sketcher to draw odd sized stages, adding thrusts, stage wings, etc.
Lastly, the pro version allows the user to select an image from their camera roll to use as a custom logo in the header box. This allows bands or companies to add their own logo to the sketch.
Listen, here at Napkin Sketch, we don't claim to be perfect, but we highly value user input and feedback. Drop us a note via e-mail, facebook or twitter with your ideas and comments. As future versions are being built we're going to heavily incoroprate user feedback to create the best possible sketching experience!

RECIPE: game...............
Lets play a game of hide and seek. You are hiding all your delicious recipes for oven baked potatoes (you know, the ones with olive oil and seasonings)and I am seeking them. I am losing big time so won't you please find some for me? Vique.
John 3:16
My favorite recipe for oven roasted potatoes:
Oven Roasted Potatoes  from PenzyÂs  serves 4-6 425 oven 9x13 pan
2 lb. red bliss potatoes
2 TB olive oil
1-2 t salt
1 1/2t bouquet garni
1 1/2t black pepper
1/4t granulated garlic
Wash and halve potatoes (quarter large ones). In a big bowl, place potatoes; drizzle oil over, toss. Sprinkle with salt, crumbled herbs, pepper, and garlic.
Toss again. Spray a 9x13 pan with Pam. Add potatoes. Place in 425 oven for one hour, 15 min. Turn every 15 minutes.
NEW POTATOES WITH BALSAMIC VINEGAR (serves 6-8)
6 large new potatoes, cut into halves
3 TBL olive oil
1 TLB balsamic vinegar
1/2 tsp tarragon
1/2 tsp thyme
Salt & pepper to taste
Arrange the potatoes in a baking pan. Bake in a preheated 350° oven for 25 minutes or until tender. combine the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, tarragon, thyme, salt & pepper in abowl & mix well. Pour over the potatoes & bake for 5-10 minutes longer. Serve immediately.~~Texas Ties
We love roasted red potato wedges, and these are the directions I recently sent to a friend. We like them sprinkled with garlic powder, but I wait until when I turn them before I add it as it has a tendency to burn on the pan (but not on the potatoes). You can also wait until they're done and toss them with a little olive oil that's mixed with minced or press garlic.
Cut your scrubbed but unpeeled potatoes into fairly large wedges (either quarter the smaller ones or cut the larger ones into six pieces), then toss them in a bowl with a couple of tablespoons of olive oil. Spread them out on a baking sheet that you've sprayed with nonstick spray (I resisted doing this for a long time, but it makes all the difference in the world). Sprinkle them with S & P and bake at 425F-450F for 25 minutes (my pan is a dark coated one, so I use the lower temp). Turn them over on the pan, sprinkle with some garlic powder if you want, and bake for another 20 minutes. If you use red potatoes they turn out crispy on the outside and creamy on the inside. You can also use peeled russets, but they're not quite as good, although they're better if you soak them in some hot water for 30 minutes or so first.

SANTA FE — Salaries of state workers and educators would be reduced by 2 percent next year under a budget proposal that also could require $200 million in tax increases or further spending cuts.
The Legislative Finance Committee recommended Monday the state spend about $5.4 billion next year on public schools, higher education and government programs ranging from prisons to health care for the needy.
Those expenditures would be covered by state revenue and $118 million in federal economic stimulus aid.
The proposal represents a reduction of almost 5 percent, or $278 million, from the state and federal money being spent in the current fiscal year ending in June.
The recommendations are meant to serve as a starting point for lawmakers as they put together next year's budget in the 30-day legislative session starting Jan. 19.
In a departure from its traditional practice, the committee left undecided how lawmakers should balance the proposed budget. The committee's recommended spending is about $200 million higher than the revenue forecast for next year.
The deficit could be closed with tax increase or additional spending cuts. In addition, the state might get extra federal aid next year.

Ross reports net sales up 33 percent
Published: Thursday, January 3, 1991 at 3:15 a.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, January 3, 1991 at 12:00 a.m.
DUNCAN - Ross Cosmetics Distribution Centers Inc. yesterday announced record sales and earnings for its first fiscal quarter. Net sales increased 33 percent to $7.5 million, as compared with $5.6 million for the same quarter last year.
First quarter income from operations increased 64 percent to $717, 557, compared with $436,078 reported for the same period last year. Net income for the first quarter increased 114 percent to $626,742, or 20 cents per share, compared with $292,881, or 9 cents per share, in the same quarter of fiscal 1990. "Our record first quarter results were primarily the result of continued favorable acceptance of our Classic European Fragrance line, the introduction of several new products including gift sets and dusting powders, the successful operation of our cosmetic pencil manufacturing plant (south of Greer) and the sale of one of our trademarks," said Michael Emery, chief operating officer. Also during the quarter, Ross shipped its first significant order to Wal-Mart Stores and made gains into several important chains in Canada. The company's tax rate increased to 37 percent in the quarter, compared with 21 percent in the same quarter a year earlier when the company had the benefit of a net operating loss carry forward. Included in pre-tax earnings of $944,742 in the quarter was a gain of $410,000 from the sale of one of the company's trademarks to a fragrance company that is not a competitor. Even without the sale of the undisclosed trademark, the company's pre-tax income increased 57 percent. Products sold by the company under this trademark in the prior fiscal year and in the first quarter of fiscal 1991 accounted for less than 4 percent of total company sales. Ross designs, manufacturers, markets and distributes an extensive line of proprietary beauty products including fashion fragrances, contemporary cosmetics, and health and beauty aids.

Tickets available for April 25 EP Gives event
Tickets are now on sale for the Eden Prairie Community Foundation's annual gala, EP Gives. It will be held from 6-11:30 p.m. Saturday, April 25, 2015 at the historic Eden Prairie barn known as the Green Acres Event Center, 14150 Pioneer Trail.
The Community Foundation will be celebrating 34 years of local giving that has benefited organizations you care about. More than $1.5 million has been granted to 60-plus organizations since the Eden Prairie Community Foundation's start in 1981.
The Community Foundation uses the "enchanting event center in a historic barn" to honor its newest grantees, and raise money for its annual granting cycle.
Tickets, which cost $100 each ($65 is tax-deductible), can be purchased on this website. There will be room for just 225 lucky people. Light appetizers, drinks, music, dancing, and a great program emceed by EPHS Principal Conn McCartan are all a part of this year's event.
Individuals and businesses are also invited to be a sponsor and reach a great audience. Sponsorships begin at $250, and many sponsorship levels include free tickets to the event.
For details contact Executive Director Mark Weber at firstname.lastname@example.com.
The Eden Prairie Community Foundation is dedicated to "enriching our community through philanthropy, collaboration and leadership."
'EP Gives 10,000′ campaign is launched
The theory that Eden Prairie residents generously give back to the community is about to be tested with the Jan. 26 launch of "EP Gives 10,000."
The three-month campaign will have the Eden Prairie Community Foundation, Grace Church, and the Eden Prairie News urging people who live, work, or worship in Eden Prairie to pledge and contribute 10,000 hours of volunteer service to Eden Prairie projects, causes, or organizations between Jan. 26 and April 25.
April 25 also happens to be the date of the Community Foundation's annual EP Gives event, which celebrates the organization's newest grants as well as the community's philanthropy and service overall.
Does your Eden Prairie organization have a service project that can count toward the 10,000-hour goal? Does your organization need Eden Prairie volunteers? Then campaign organizers want to hear from you, so they can track the volunteer hours being contributed and also connect prospective volunteers with jobs to be done.
Much of the campaign information will be shared on the "EP Gives 10,000" Facebook page at www.facebook.com/EPgives. From there, people looking for a volunteer service project will be directed to a list of possibilities. You can also follow @EPGives on Twitter.
"This is a way to call attention to the great community service work that already exists, and also to get more people giving back to Eden Prairie," said Mark Weber, executive director of the Eden Prairie Community Foundation. "Plus, it falls right in line with the Community Foundation's mission to promote collaboration, leadership, and philanthropy.
"We really appreciate the involvement of Grace Church and the Eden Prairie News, because they're great believers in community service and they can help us spread the word. Remember, it's really all about cause and effect: We have the cause, and you have the effect!"
Civic organizations and non-profits that have community service projects planned for that time period, or need volunteers, are asked to contact Weber at email@example.com so those projects can be noted and additional volunteers can be located.

Flamenco at it's finest!
... with friends. They were both studying at La Universidad de Sevilla and both lived in the city with their parents. A little after 10:00pm the guy got a call from his mom saying that dinner is ready! I was ready to go to bed; I couldn't imagine eating dinner that late!
There are many beautiful parks in Sevilla (the English name is Seville). I sat for awhile in Jardines de Muralla (Wall Gardens) and meditated while a gentleman in a suit took off his ...
Today we hit some of Seville's smaller tourist sites. We started at the Torre del Oro Naval Museum, as it's free on Mondays! Very excited about that, because it wouldn't have been worth the money for admission, but it was interesting enough to spend time in. They had a bunch of models of ships, which were pretty neat, and an ok, but not fantastic, view of the city from the tower.
From the Torre del Oro we headed to the Plaza de Toros ...
A grand finale in Andalusia.....
... part of Spain but also the city. I found it to be very interesting and well worth the reasonable cost (about €18). This experience seemed more like the regular guided tour, which was nice.
The tour adjourned about 12:30. I thanked Concepci�n and then went for lunch at Ristorante San Marco, which I was anxious to try (interestingly, it's located in old Moorish bath). I had to wait 10 minutes for opening as they didn't open until 13:00. ...
Holiday in Spain
... turning into a flu so it seemed! So we enjoyed our last night in Spain and took our early morning flight back to London where I was happy to be in my bed in Sorbonne by 12:30, full of cough medicine and sleeping sound. While Barcelona did redeem itself Saturday, I definitely was far more mesmerized my Seville I think mostly because it embodied my vision of what Spain truly is. I guess I've 'vivad espana' now, kinda, though I will definitely be back, to live or to ...
Spectacular Sevilla
... The local cat was far more cooperative and had quite a lot to say to Gary.
Back on the bus to the resort. They canceled our trip to Cordoba tomorrow, so we'll probably go visit Malaga instead.
Debbie and Gary went to the Flamenco show, I came back to get some work done.
I'd complain about the weather, but it sounds like home has a nor'easter and snow. Rain does not seem to bad.
