Found it!
After another post here (I can't find it now - the poster mentioned they'd seen a variegated compacta at one of the box stores), I stopped by Lowe's yesterday and indeed found a variegated compacta in GREAT shape! Must have just arrived. I've been so good this year - I've only traded and haven't bought a single plant. (This living within our meager means bites!) But I splurged and spent the $10 to get this one I've been wanting for some time. And it was the one I really wanted - H. compacta 'Regalis', with the variegation on the edges. Score!
I'm just glad they didn't have anything else I've been looking for or it would have been painful to choose one or the other!
Denise in Omaha
Congratulations on finding what you wanted!!! Finding hoyas at local stores always feels like such a bonus for me. Recently I found DS-70 (I know, a common one, but nevertheless one I didn't have yet...) and I was thrilled to buy it! I just wish we had Lowe's here. The nearest one is hours away. Anyway, congrats Denise!
Lol - I got lucky and found both the EA variegated varieties lately in the small hanging baskets. I do live in urban sprawl area though which includes several Lowes and HDs within miles.
The 'Regalis' I located in the small basket had a whole white vine of crinkled growth. :( I wish I wouldn't lose it but it is inevitable.
I also wonder if the other version that I found is known as 'Mauna Lao' even if it is bought through EA. I've always just refered to it in the past as Variegated Carnosa Compacta.
It looks similar to this one.
RIP Twinkee
Congratulations, Denise! I am so happy for you. You definitely deserve it (and it deserves you!)
/David Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe your plant (photographed above) IS properly identified as Hoya compacta 'Mauna Loa.' This is its official cultivar name, regardless of vendor. It is also associated with the trademark name of 'Lura Lei,' which I've never heard anyone use, unlike the queen and princess names that are so popular. Not that there's anything wrong with referring to it as variegated compacta, except that you have two different variegated compactas. ^_~
I was a bit confused about why such plants need both cultivar names and trademarked names, so I did some reading and got more confused. (jk - the link below helps)
Here is a link that might be useful: Cultivar Names & Trademarked Names (as discussed by the rose people)
When I went back to look at the compacta at my store, I just wasn't that impressed. Plus, I don't currently have pest trouble and I don't want to start. Maybe someday I'll want that one but right now there are others I'd rather have. The lipstick plants were very tempting...
But this particular trip I settled on a small out of bloom orchid on clearance. The ID in the pot leads me to believe it will have tiny white Phalaenopsis type flowers.

Borel's guarantee ruined by early move
BELMONT, N.Y. -- Calvin Borel was bidding to create his own brand of Triple Crown lore Saturday.
Instead, he rode himself into the sketchy company of other goats of recent Belmont history. Borel joins the lineup of jockeys who will be second-guessed in perpetuity for his ride with a Triple Crown -- equine or, in this case, human -- on the line. He's a future Hall of Famer, but today he takes a spot next to Stewart Elliott, who rode Smarty Jones to defeat in 2004. And a spot next to Kent Desormeaux, whose loss by a nose aboard Real Quiet in 1998 remains the standard for agonizing pilot error.
In a karmic payback 11 years in the making, Desormeaux finally got his Belmont by guiding 12-1 shot Summer Bird past runner-up Dunkirk and Borel's mount, third-place Mine That Bird, in the stretch. The result adds to the Belmont's growing history as the most unsatisfying sporting event of the year, and it exposes national darling Borel to his first experience as a national bum.
After winning the Kentucky Derby aboard Mine That Bird and the Preakness aboard Rachel Alexandra, there will be no Calvin Crown. But there will be Calvin Critics.
As Desormeaux and Elliott did before him, Borel made his move too soon to survive this mile-and-a-half meat grinder. In fact, all three of them erred in almost the exact same place: with about half a mile to go. That's an eternity in the longest race these animals will ever run.
After watching Desormeaux's move fail in person in '98, I knew a premature decision when I saw it from Elliott six years later (though, it must be noted, Elliott and Smarty Jones were pressed into an early speed duel that might have been a bigger factor in his defeat). And I sure as heck knew a premature decision when I saw it again Saturday.
So did Desormeaux, who said he was "utterly surprised" to see Mine That Bird ahead of him with so much dirt still to cover.
At this point the Belmont folks might as well erect a warning sign at the half-mile pole on the far turn. It would read as follows:
Especially if you're riding a dead closer, as Borel was. Remember, Mine That Bird didn't explode into the lead in the Derby until well into the stretch, and his charge to second under Mike Smith in the Preakness was similarly late.
Here, in a longer race, Borel had launched from eighth to first with a full quarter-mile to run.
No way that was going to hold up. Not with Borel going to the whip on his gelding before they even straightened out for home. Not in the cruelest stretch in American racing, the place where Triple Crown bids go to die.
Sure enough, with Mine That Bird, Dunkirk and Charitable Man all starting to labor on the lead, here came Summer Bird rolling by. In the final 16th of a mile, it was all over but the finger-pointing.
The fairness of blaming Borel can be debated forever, especially among those of us who cannot appreciate all the arcane challenges of riding a race horse. Part of a jockey's difficult job is finding the delicate balance between pushing his mount forward and pulling it back, and according to Borel that proved arduous Saturday. Mine That Bird had a mind of his own and might have prematurely asserted himself, forcing his rider's hand.
"He was a little fresh," said Borel, who had to apply the brakes early to his mount and was worried in the second half of the race that choking him back again would kill any chance to win. "... Maybe might have moved a tad early, but he took me there."
Trainer Chip Woolley, who has handled himself and his horse beautifully in his first spotlight experience, said a lot with a little shortly afterward: "I thought we might have gone ahead early. Hard to say when you haven't seen the replay. I may have a whole different outlook on it when the time comes, after I really sit down and look at it."
Borel did get a chance to view a replay and came away believing he didn't ask for too much, too soon.
"No excuses, sir," Borel said, painfully polite as always.
Part of having no excuses means having to hear three other criticisms after this race:
• Borel was in New York all week but rode nothing at Belmont prior to this race. Several people thought that was a mistake given his relative unfamiliarity with this track (he was 1-for-7 lifetime here coming into the race, including 0-for-6 in stakes races). At least one trip around this massive oval might have reinforced how far it is from the far turn to the finish line.
• Borel has made his name with rail-skimming rides and won both his Kentucky Derbies that way -- his ride on Mine That Bird was a ground-saving genius. Yet this time Borel was rarely near the rail, and when he made his move he was about four-wide on the turn.
He said afterward that the rail was dead, which made it a perilous place to run. But winner Summer Bird spent much of his trip down the backstretch far inside.
• Borel's guaranteed victory came back to bite him. Hard.
Understand, jockey guarantees are different than, say, Joe Namath guarantees. They are outspokenly confident by nature and by design -- nobody ever admits any concerns going into a horse race, and horse owners like to hear nothing but raves from the hired help.
But still, if you come to New York and tell the nation's biggest media market that a race is in the bag, you're going to hear about it when the race wriggles out of the bag.
"If you're not going to come here and ride with confidence, you may as well not come," Borel said. "When I come to ride races like this, I come with confidence."
Desormeaux was the weary voice of Belmont experience when he said, earlier in the week, "Calvin is naive. Period." Desormeaux had come to this race twice before on the cusp of a Triple Crown. He had oozed optimism.
He was sure he'd win the Triple aboard Real Quiet -- a defeat the jockey blames more on his colt "gawking" at the crowd in the stretch and losing focus. He was even more sure last year aboard Big Brown. The comeuppance a year ago was nothing short of brutal, with Desormeaux wrapping up a thoroughly spent Big Brown before he even finished the race.
"Last year's Belmont was like swallowing a spoon sideways," Desormeaux said.
Desormeaux endured the hard slide from celebrated to castigated in just a few minutes' time last year. Just like Calvin now.
"I've been there," Desormeaux said. "I've been where I felt like I was Superman. I've been there where I would have said the same things in those shoes. ... I'm sure he believed it, every breath."
And his advice today for Calvin Borel? "I think Calvin should go home," Desormeaux said, "and know what a champion rider he is."
That's true. But that will be hard to remember amid the disappointment of this defeat. If the 2009 Kentucky Derby was the signature ride of Borel's career, the 2009 Belmont will be his most criticized.

NRL Shows Capability to Forecast Water Clarity During Naval Missions
Dr. Jason Jolliff is an oceanographer with the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory (NRL). "The emphasis here," he says, "is on developing models of the ocean environment to help the naval warfighter." His most recent paper, published in Ocean Modeling (March 2014), shows NRL can also forecast where oil will go following a major spill.
"If you're going to do forecasting," he says, "you have to get the ocean circulation correct. It's fundamental to all else." Jolliff plugged the distribution of surface oil following the 2010 Deepwater Horizon oil spill—when it was still well offshore—into a powerful NRL forecasting tool. He accurately predicted what would happen to the oil; in particular, the processes that made inevitable its landfall on Louisiana shorelines fully four days later.
Jolliff's second key point is, "When we look at oceanographic problems, we have to understand the scales of time and space we're dealing with." In 2010, there was concern about oil washing up on Florida beaches. But oil does evaporate and degrade; so knowing how far the oil will go over what period of time helps predict which beaches are at most risk.
Jolliff is part of a team developing a tool called Bio-Optical Forecasting (BioCast). "We're developing this framework where you can combine satellite images, that give you an estimate of what is in the ocean, with ocean circulation models." BioCast calculates "how those materials will ultimately be transported and dispersed."
Jolliff is interested in how "tracers"—like plankton or nitrate distribution—change water clarity. "That will help the Navy predict ocean optical properties." Divers need good visibility, as do airborne platforms that use electro-optics to "look" for mines in shallow waters. "But the general knowledge that we gain can be applied to a very wide range of forecasting problems, including contaminant distribution and oil spill response."
Jolliff validated NRL's capability for future operations by applying integrated forecasting to the Deepwater Horizon oil spill. He describes two sets of experiments: one at a local scale, focusing on currents near Louisiana; the second at a mesoscale, looking at the entire Gulf of Mexico.
Local scale: predicting where shoreline oil would be worst
Using satellite images from May 11, 2010—which show oil slicks still well away from shore—Jolliff forecast how oil would move over the next 96 hours. He predicted oil would make a substantial landfall on the Louisiana coast, west of the Mississippi River Delta, on May 14. "The forecast was qualitatively accurate," he says. "That's precisely what happened."
Jolliff uses the NRL tool, Coupled Ocean-Atmosphere Mesoscale Prediction System (COAMPS®). "[COAMPS] was designed to provide a direct forecast of oceanographic and atmospheric variables, things like surface temperature, surface humidity, sea surface temperature, current speeds, and atmospheric visibility."
With forecasts of how water is moving from COAMPS, Jolliff predicts how a tracer will be transported through that system using BioCast. With a tracer like surface chlorophyll, which indicates phytoplankton abundance, he might forecast water clarity for a naval operations environment. By using oil from a well-documented spill as a tracer, Jolliff validated how the models work together.
"One of the things we can do at NRL is we can start to explore areas that weren't necessarily thought of when [COAMPS] was designed," says Jolliff.
Following Deepwater Horizon's blowout, "the main surface aggregation of oil was offshore." For the oil to reach shorelines, surface water from the deep ocean would have to carry it in and exchange with coastal waters.
"What we find, generally," says Jolliff, "is that the water near shore tends to stay near shore, and the water off shore tends to stay off shore. So in order to forecast if this oil is going to impact some coastal area, you have to know where this water mass exchange is going to take place." With COAMPS, Jolliff was able to explain the water mass exchange that led to the severe oiling in Louisiana.
Where the Mississippi River Delta landmass protrudes out into the Gulf of Mexico, coastal currents can mix with offshore surface waters. "Oil that is initially offshore, it'll come near shore and bump up against the Mississippi River Delta. And then it gets whipped around and swept into this coastal current."
Additionally, there's an unusually deep feature on the ocean floor to the southwest of the Delta, called the Mississippi Canyon. The irregular ocean depths, or bathymetry, between the Delta and the Canyon; prevailing winds; and fresh water that drains from the Delta all contribute to water mass exchange.
To show oil would be concentrated where currents converge, and dispersed where currents diverge, "We had specific buoyancy restoring term in the model that would bring oil back to the surface." He was able to account for the tendency of oil, pulled under by currents, to rise back to the surface-critical to forecasting material transport. A three-dimensional framework made these zones of divergence and convergence easier to identify than in 2010 (Eulerian versus Lagrangian). (A future model that sought to include subsurface oil in the initial inputs would need a more complex accounting of how hydrocarbons interact with seawater and chemical dispersants.)
Jolliff doesn't compare his predictions to what federal agencies made at the time, because they were continuously updating their simulations. "The take home message is that COAMPS was able to forecast the atmospheric and oceanographic conditions that made that funnel [of water mass exchange] operate. And so what was happening in the model then happened in reality."
Mesoscale: why the oil spill didn't hurt Florida beaches
Next, Jolliff sought to explain what happened to oil over a longer time period and wider region. Unlike the first set of experiments, "We're doing what's called a 'hindcast'; and that's every 12 hours, the ocean model is assimilating information from satellites to correct deviations from those observations."
Except for two gaps, land hems in the Gulf of Mexico. As a result, ocean current tends to flow in through a gap between the Yucatan and Cuba, and then into a forceful clockwise Loop Current that turns toward the southeast.
Most of the time, the Gulf's Loop Current is able to squeeze out through the Florida Straits. "But it's unstable," says Jolliff, "so with some frequency, this big loop detaches and forms this sort of closed, clockwise circulation of water—what oceanographers call a mesoscale eddy." And with the hindcasts, Jolliff observed exactly that.
"You see that the Loop Current itself pinched off to form an eddy." This fortuitous event prevented the current from carrying aggregated surface oil to Key West and eastern Florida beaches, like Miami. "This emphasizes the point that the only way you'd know that is to forecast the ocean circulation."
In addition to understanding regional currents, time scale is also very important. For the 96-hour forecast, Jolliff could assume oil was an inert tracer. But over time, oil "weathers"—evaporating and biodegrading. Jolliff accounted for weathering in the mesoscale by assuming a rate of decay. He acknowledges this oversimplifies the true chemical properties of oil, and could be improved in a future model; but in 2010, most forecasters didn't account for weathering at all.
Even if the current had carried oil to Florida, the damage likely wouldn't have been severe. "What we see is that it takes more than 10 days for that surface oil to finally get entrained into the Loop Current. Enough time has elapsed that these materials are now significantly degraded."
NRL on the front line: improving ocean models supports readiness
While Jolliff tested NRL's operational capability against the Deepwater Horizon oil spill, he could make similar forecasts for a spill anywhere in the world. "What's very powerful about COAMPS," he says, "is we can take models that are much larger in scale, and we can zoom in to these local areas."
Going forward, he'll focus on integrating more cross-interacting variables directly into COAMPS to give naval operators a more accurate and complete forecast. "In any complicated system," he says, "you're going to have various feedbacks. The ocean and the atmosphere are constantly exchanging energy." By bringing the tracer directly into COAMPS, instead of using BioCast to perform transport calculations separately from COAMPS, he could see if materials in the ocean impact air-sea interactions.
He and NRL colleague Dr. Travis Smith are researching the biological, chemical, and physical properties of key tracers. "As you go out to longer and longer time scales, you have to bring more and more of inherent reactivity of these materials into your calculations: things like phytoplankton growth, settling of particles." Incorporating these properties, similar to what he did with the decay constant for oil, improves forecasts of ocean optics.
"The tools we've developed here at NRL are state of the art, without question," he says.

Dr. Jason Jolliff used surface oil estimates following the Deepwater Horizon blowout to forecast where oil would first hit shorelines 96 hours later, on May 14,2010. "If you're going to do forecasting," he says, "you have to get the ocean circulation correct. It's fundamental to all else." The protruding Mississippi River Delta mixed offshore oil into coastal currents. The underwater Mississippi Canyon helped funnel oil toward Barataria Bay. (Image: Jason Joliff; labels superimposed)
Dr. Jason Jolliff's hindcasts, following the Deepwater Horizon blowout, show the Gulf's Loop Current pinched itself off in a closed eddy. The natural weathering of oil, as he modeled with a decay constant, also explains why Florida beaches weren't harmed. "When we look at oceanographic problems, we have to understand the scales of time and space we're dealing with," he says. (Image: Jason Joliff; labels superimposed)

Giants of Dirt Part 2 with Dane Searls
Dane Searls has proven himself as one of the world's best big dirt jump riders. In his quest to push himself and BMX dirt jumping further, Dane has teamed up with Unit Clothing to develop the Giants Of Dirt project.
The construction and first ride took place in August, at Matt Schubring's Boonah property, located in Australia. The set up was totally untested, and Dane took a massive slam in his attempt to clear the whole set-up. He walked away and immediately began planning another attempt.
After months of bad weather, Dane headed back out to the massive jumps, and worked along side Matt Schubring to bring the jumps up to standard and ready to ride. Part 2 of the Giants Of Dirt project documents Dane's next big attempt!

Corinth Holders rules the air, tops C.B. Aycock
C.B. Aycock's mascot may be the Golden Falcons, but it was Cole Sakowski who spent the night in the air Friday. Sakowski threw for 294 yards on 24-for-29 passing and four touchdowns to lead Corinth Holders to a 26-21 victory.
Sakowski threw two touchdown strikes to Hampton Smith, and one apiece to Dymon Walker and Tony Kirkwood.
Sakowski's 294-yard performance negated Neil Clark's 188-yard rushing effort for Aycock. Clark rushed for two touchdowns, with his second score drawing the Golden Falcons to within 26-21 with less than a minute remaining.
The two offenses combined for more than 700 yards with the Falcons rushing for 213 yards.
Corinth Holders held a 13-7 lead after Sakowski's touchdown pass to Kirkwood only to see Aycock barrel down the field late in the half to claim a 14-13 lead.
The Pirates (4-1) answered on a nine-play, 69-yard drive which culminated with Smith's second touchdown catch, a 16-yarder.
Both teams botched opportunities in the second half as Corinth Holders struggled to close out its red-zone chances.
"I was proud of the way the team held up," Corinth Holders coach Barry Honeycutt said. "We just need to work on our red-zone execution."
However, the Pirates' defense was up to the challenge, holding the Golden Falcons without points twice inside of the 30-yard line.
Clark's late touchdown came after a Pirates' turnover on downs inside the Aycock 10.
Kirkwood led Corinth Holders with 77 yards receiving, while Tori Carmichael added 75 and Smith 62.

PROBLEM It could be leaking at a whole lot of other places. You do know that engine is prone to oil sludging causing engine failure. If you are interested I can email you the website that people have an ongoing class action suit against CHY. My email address is firstname.lastname@example.com
Answer #2backyard tech December 04, 2009, 00:35Master
http://www.dontbuydodgechryslervehicles.com/dodge_chrysler_engine_problems.htm Go to this website and read all about the problems with oil sludging on your engine. You need to wash off the botom of the engine as best as possible. Once you fix your oil leak you need to put a FULL SYNTHETIC LUBRICANT in that engine to prevent engine failure. If you need further help email me at email@example.com

Flames already were coming through the roof of a storage building behind the Glad Tidings Assembly of God Church by the time firefighters were called to the scene on New Year's Eve.
The fire call first came in at 9:36 p.m. as a pole on fire behind the church on Seventh Street between Gilbert and Hamilton streets, but dispatchers at the Cody Law Enforcement Center soon advised responding firefighters that it actually was a pole barn on fire.

Nurse travels seven hours from Yellowstone to work in Cody
Living in Yellowstone National Park is not an ordinary experience, and traveling to and from work outside the park is anything but ordinary.
For Ginger Townsend, commuting to work in the winter means a seven-hour journey — one hour of that by snowmobile.
Townsend, a nurse in the Emergency Room at West Park Hospital, lives at Old Faithful in Yellowstone. But she loves her job enough that the arduous trip is worth it, she said.

Why was "tantrum" trending last week?
French prose writer, poet, dramatist, Christian polemicist, and political figure. One of the original members and the first chancellor of the French Academy, Desmarets opened the long literary battle, since called the querelle des anciens et des modernes (see ancients and moderns), by arguing that the true models for modern French literature were Romance legends and the Bible rather than classical Greek and Roman writers.

Latest Review
Worst hostel ever! I stayed there for two nights and I can't even believe that this hostel is still in business. Bed sheet was covered with god-knows-what stains, the blanket was very itchy, and kitchen table is full of dirty dishes. I won't recommend there to anyone. Just spend a couple more bucks and stay somewhere better.Read More

About Calvin Klein
A Calvin Klein coupon can help you slide into a new pair of designer jeans more easily than a huge, buttered shoehorn. It all started in 1968 when Calvin Klein opened a small New York City coat shop; a year later, one of his gray wool coats made it to the cover of "Vogue." Over the years, the Midtown Manhattan brand has expanded its reach to everything from T-shirts and dresses to underwear and accessories. These understated garments create slim silhouettes—simultaneously increasing your confidence and decreasing your chances of ever playing Alfred Hitchcock. If you're okay with that exchange, select a Calvin Klein promo code from the list below.
Calvin Klein is best known for black-and-white billboards featuring svelte, scantily clad men and women. And while these advertising campaigns generated controversy, they also elevated model Kate Moss to icon status in the '90s. She was the female counterpart to Mark Wahlberg, known then as Marky Mark, whose six-pack abs turned Calvin Klein underwear into a defining fashion statement. Since then, the ranks of Calvin Klein's spokespersons have included stars such as Scarlett Johansson and Eva Mendes. Despite its tendency to push the boundaries of fashion advertising—or maybe because of it—Calvin Klein remains and has spread its net from lingerie and jeans to athletic wear and home decor. To get that coveted CK monogram on everything from your undies to your shower curtain without raiding the old Captain Kangaroo compound, let Groupon lead you to a Calvin Klein coupon.
Models such as Kate Moss and Christy Turlington also represented Calvin Klein's fragrances, including Obsession, CK Be, and Eternity. Over the years, many of the company's fragrances have been honored by the Fragrance Foundation's annual FiFi Awards. Since it's always preferable to smell as good as you look, grab a Calvin Klein promo code to smell like a model who understands the importance of frugality.
Are you unable to go out in public because you literally have nothing to wear? Then get your second skin from an iconic brand with these Calvin Klein coupons.
