One Week: No Mouse, Just Keyboard 364
from the trackball-also-off-the-table dept.
We've improved Slashdot's video section; now you can view our video interviews, product close-ups and site visits with all the usual Slashdot options to comment, share, etc. No more walled garden! It's a work in progress -- we hope you'll check it out (Learn more about the recent updates).
Here you have keyboard commands that millions of people have memorized
certainly not millions.
thousands for sure.
maybe 10s of thousands.
why the hell did they change it?
Because opening the start menu puts you in the search bar. Pressing "U" in the search bar puts a U in the search bar. It can't really be used for a hotkey unless nobody is allowed to search for things that start with 'u'.
And for what its worth, putting search in the start bar was a GOOD thing. I rarely ever have to go digging through the start menu hierarchy any more.
Search is better than the run dialog as well because it works for documents, as well.
So why they hell did they change it? Because they made it better, and millions of users (this time actual millions) benefitted.
It's almost as if Microsoft doesn't give a damn about their customers
Or maybe its you that doesn't? Because having everyone else have to push an extra key to get the search box just so people like you could still press U instead of right-arrow would be asinine.
IF I HAD A MINE SHAFT, I don't think I would just abandon it. There's got to be a better way. -- Jack Handley, The New Mexican, 1988.

When I visited Southern California back in December, I hit the jackpot with interesting junkyard cars to photograph. In addition to stuff I haven't shared yet, there was this fully-loaded '82 Subaru BRAT, John DeLorean's weird rope-drive Tempest with 540-lb four-banger, this rust-free '84 Cressida, and this '51 Plymouth Cranbrook. The self-service yard that had the '51 Plymouth also had today's Junkyard Find, which tells you a lot about how spoiled Los Angeles car freaks are. (Read More…)

After teasing us with a "concept" at the New York Auto Show, Volkswagen is debuting a production of the Golf R wagon – but we may not get it in North America.
A 2014 Chevrolet Camaro Z/28 would set you back at least $75,000 MSRP were you to head over to your nearest dealership. One Los Angeles dealership, however, is charging a steeper price of admission for the honor of destroying everyone at Willow Springs and Irwindale.
Most of the Escort GTs you see these days are the Mazda-based cars that came out starting in the 1991 model year. The first-gen North American Escort, loosely based on its European counterpart, was built from 1981 through 1990, and examples are becoming very rare in wrecking yards. We saw this first-half-of-1988 Escort GT last month, and now I've found this "1988.5" model in a Southern California yard. (Read More…)
Names for various flavors of the Nissan Sunny got very confusing during the 1970s and 1980s. Starting in the 1978 model year, the front-wheel-drive replacement for the B210— known as the B310 within Nissan— kept the "210" name in the United States (meanwhile, you could also buy "510s" that were actually A10 Violets), later evolving into the car that became the Sentra. These were cheap but reliable (for the time) misery boxes, competing with the likes of the Chrysler Omnirizon, and so very few of them escaped The Crusher when they started wearing out in the early 1990s. Here's a rare example that I found in Southern California in January. (Read More…)
Ride-sharing service Uber has hit a few rough patches as of late, mainly from taxi operators and city and state officials who believe Uber and others like it are too disruptive for its own good. However, the Teamsters — who supported European taxi drivers in their protest of the service earlier this month — are throwing their support to Uber drivers wishing to organize.
You know how there was no 1983 Corvette, and then the C4 finally came out in 1984, and it had this terrible twin-throttle-body fuel-injection system? Of course you do. Anyway, C4 Corvettes are worth enough these days that they're not common sights in self-service wrecking yards, and those that I do find have been picked pretty clean.. Shops that specialize in Corvettes intercept most basket-case examples before they get to these yards, but I found four C4s all together at a Southern California yard last month. Let's check out a well-stripped example of the first of the good-handling Corvettes. (Read More…)
I admit I've got a sick fascination with luxury cars sold by companies not (at the time, in this market) known for luxury. There's the Mitsubishi Diamante, of course, and the Mazda 929, and even the Volvo 262C Bertone (I'm still looking for a junked Daewoo Leganza, but either they don't exist or— more likely— they fade into the junkyard background so perfectly that I never notice them). The Hyundai XG, well, that's a perfect example of the "who's laughing now?" phenomenon; just a decade ago, we all chortled at the idea of a Korean luxury sedan selling in the United States. Today, German and Japanese car-industry execs wake up screaming from Hyundai-themed nightmares. So, that makes today's Junkyard Find of great historical significance (to me and maybe a dozen others). (Read More…)
Other than the many Corvairs in the Brain Melting Colorado Junkyard, we haven't seen any examples of GM's rear-engined compact so far in this series. As recently as ten years ago, Corvairs were not uncommon sights in self-serve wrecking yards, and trashed ones are worth little more than scrap value today, but it took until a couple of weeks ago and a trip to California for me to find one. (Read More…)
My recent trip to Southern California resulted in a bonanza of Junkyard Finds, including the first-ever Junkyard Find Jensen Interceptor, this Maserati Biturbo Spyder, this hyper-rare Sterling 827 SLi fastback, this super-scary AM General ice cream truck, and this Corinthian Leather-equipped Chrysler Cordoba. Is that all? No, that is not all! Today we're going to admire an amazingly luxurious customized Malaise Coupe de Ville. (Read More…)

Not everybody likes working in code view. Indeed, I would guess that many folks purchase Dreamweaver just so they don't have to work in code view. In this article we will look at how you can insert div tags into your code, precisely. We will do this from Dreamweaver's design view by making good use of the insert div tag function that can be found on the Insert Bar.
To use this option you do not have to have your cursor placed in the exact location that you want to insert your div, which is a reason given by many for switching to code view. Dreamweaver is intelligent enough to place your div precisely where you want it without the need to switch views, as we shall see.
Accessing the Insert Div Button
You can access the Insert Div Tag button from the Layout tab on the Insert bar. To see this in action have a CSS page already open in design view. If you don't have one to hand you can download the free North Pole jumpstart to test with. The link opens a new window to allow you to easily return to this tutorial, all the installation instructions are available within the North Pole download zip file.
Open your CSS layout in design view and select the Layout tab and then click the Insert Div Tag button, as shown in Figure 1.
Figure 1: Selecting the insert div button
Once selected the Insert Div dialog box opens in its default state, as shown in Figure 2. The first list option we need to utilise is the Insert list. These five options allow you to place your new div anywhere in your code. The options in this list can vary but the list always defaults to "At insertion point". It also provides the ability to place the new div before or after any tag and even to nest the new div — when that option exists in the code— within a specific tag by using the "After start of tag" or the "Before end of tag" options. The insertion point selection is further enhanced by the accompanying list, as you will see in Figure 3.
Figure 2: Selecting the location for you new div
Once you have made your selection the second list becomes active, as shown in Figure 3:
Figure 3: Selecting the precise location
In the Insert list I selected the "After tag" option, which activates the adjacent list populated with all the existing divs on my page. From this list I will select the header div option, this means the new div will be inserted immediately after the closing tag of my header div. You can't get much more precise than that!
Figure 4: Selecting a class for the new div
With the location for the new div set I can now choose to apply a class or an ID to it. In this instance, I'm going to set a class: the search class. The list of IDs and classes are populated directly from my CSS file, so all my rules are available to me using this method.
If I had chosen to set an ID for this div the only IDs that would be available to me in the ID list would be IDs that had not already been used on the current page. You should only use an ID selector once in any given page. Dreamweaver knows this and removes any IDs from the list that exist on the current page, preventing accidental errors.
Figure 5: The completed Insert Div Tag dialog box
With your Insert Div Tag dialog box completed you can click the OK button and Dreamweaver will insert your new div in your chosen location.
Figure 6: The new div is inserted at your chosen location
As you can see from Figure 6 the new div has been inserted immediately below the header as requested and Dreamweaver has added some place-holder text to open out the div and make its location easy to find.

A disabled Florida veteran was brought to tears Tuesday when he was reunited with his service dog after she went missing in a car wreck.
"I'm a simple person. I lead a simple life. To lose something as important as this dog really, really hurt me," said Luke Macner.
The accident happened Thursday night, just eight hours after Macner adopted the Rottweiler-German Shepherd Mix through the Humane Society of Tampa Bay's Pets for Patriots program.
Two days later, the dog named Nina, showed up at Amy Abdnour's property which is just a few blocks south of the intersection where the accident happened.
"She really found me," said Abdnour. "I saw her inside my fence and kind of let her be and thought, I don't know how it got here."

HDTV Recorders
> JVCDH30000 at NAB
Don Landis
Have some good and interesting news from the NAB convention floor.
I saw the JVC DVHS VCR today at the JVC booth. They also have a WVHS VCR on display.
The JVC rep told me that they are about a month away from completing the negotiation with the MAPP which will open the door to allow this DVHS VCR to be sold in the USA without reprisal from the MPAA.
More intersting news was that I happened to be standing next to a gentleman from Panasonic who was really looking this VCR over. It turns out this guy was the Consumer Marketing manager for the Panasonic DVHS products. I got his Business card and e-mail. He was very interested in learning more about the market potential for HDTV DVHS in the US. I told him about this section of AVSCIENCE and invited him to lurk here and participate. He was most appreciative of the fact that I had great things to say about the PVHD1000. He told me that Panasonic may be interested in selling the PVHD1000 again and was most interested in how JVC fairs with their DH30000.
Here is a pic of the display
Some additional info pics I took at the booth:

I assume the JVC model in the photo will record HD. Do you know what the inputs and outputs are?
Don Landis
Others here on the forum know from first hand experience, the technical scoop on this DVHS VCR. I only posted to add some marketing update from JVC and Panasonic on the issue. I will be posting some more photos but I could not get a pic of the back becasuse they had it wired in for running demo. BTW- The picture looked as good as I would expect for the monitor they were using which wasn't the best.

Today, I was able to speak to a "knowledgeable" American JVC rep. He unfortunately painted a rather dark view of the possibility of this VCR being sold in the USA. He blaimed it strictly on the MPAA's battle to fight HDTV until they can restrict viewing with controllable copy protection.
One of the main points I wanted to check out with my repeat visit was the impression I had from Monday that this VCR was not the same HDTV quality as my PVHD1000. Here's why- Upon close examination, the demo tape running on the DVHS VCR was only playing at STD speed which restricts the playback quality to SD. What was being demoed was an SD wide screen video.
It seems that only time will tell whether we will ever see this VCR in the US. If you can find a gray market DH30000, go for it. The fact that it was on display at all is encouraging, but if all JVC has the attitude this one rep had, I doubt we will ever get it into the country.

Don, I can't speak to compare the quality of output to your PVHD1000, but I think that it looked very good in one case, and bad in another.
When I went to take a second look at it on Wednesday, I noticed that JVC had it set up in two venues... one was attached to a fairly bulbus old CRT and the second that I did not see the day before, was attached to a prototype 50 or so inch plasma display.
The picture looked great on the plasma display and was hooked up via firewire. The rep that talked me through it seemed optimistic that it would come to the US... so it seems that it really depends who you talk to.
Don Landis
Was the optimistic fellow the young one? I spoke to both and the older fellow was the pessimistic one. The video tape they had for a demo was not HD.

JVC also showed the DH30000 at the CES show in Las Vegas this past January.
Here the 30000 was the centerpiece of their exhibit. The had it set up with a high-end front projector. The screen size was approximately 20 feet.
One of the clips they showed was made especially for them by one of the movie houses and took advantage of the full 28.2 Mbps (ATSC HDTV is 19.3 Mbps) capacity of the 30000. The picture was absolutely awesome.
One of the salesmen said JVC was working very hard on getting agreement with the movie houses that would allow introduction of the 30000 in the US. It would incorporate encryption in the MPEG-2 bitstream. The i.Link would not allow MPEG-2 input or output but only DV input from digital cameras. They expressed that point this way, "DV input (i.LINK, IEEE_1394) for direct dubbing from DV footage".
A major objective on their part is to introduce HDTV movie rentals using the D-VHS format--encrypted of course. They, at that time, had two movie houses lined up to produce them.
ATSC 19.3 Mbps spec is for OTA broadcast only.
Satellite can go up to 28.2 Mbps just like in Japan.
It is purely up to satellite broadcaster what bitrate
they are sending.
D-VHS HS mode can record 28.2 Mbps, which is more
than the 19.39 Mbps of ATSC.
But this does not mean that the Japanese system uses more data
for better pictures.
In Japan some of those extra megabits are filled with MPEG Trick Play data.
Trick Play data are used by the new Japanese D-VHS vcrs to
provide pictures while in search mode.
Trick Play data do not contribute to picture quality during normal playback.
FYI I've also posted several NAB PHOTOS, but they are very large.
Various HD exhibits are here:

Inducing a branch
Hi All-
I suspect that this will be an easy case where you just point me to a nice link...
I dormant-topped all 5 apple whips that I planted last year to 42' in preparation for my open vase trees. With such a warm spring, I'm already seeing some leaf buds push which I suspect will become new shoots/laterals for my vase. But, my question is... if I don't get enough new shoots to form a vase (I'm hoping for 4 on each tree), how do I go about inducing one? I seem to remember a procedure where you score the bark down to the cambium just below a leaf bud, or something like that? If so, what would be the right time of year for me to do this? (Something showing me how long/deep the cut would be would be nice too.)
I guess I also want to ask how close together should I aim to get these new laterals? Ideally, they'd all be at the same level, but that's probably not possible/practical/and perhaps not best for the tree? Maybe it's just aesthetics anyway?
Thanks in advance,
P.S. Attended my first grafting class last night. Grafted a Goldrush on P2 (like M9) rootstock. Time will tell if my clumsy hands were good enough!
You cut above a bud or a node (dormant bud), not below it. You are interupting plant hormone from shoots above keeping bud dormant below. A half inch deep at most, couple inches wide, I guess. That's what I do.
I do it at first growth and it works like a charm.
Thanks Harvestman... above the bud, not below... got it.
But, as for 1/2" deep and a couple inches wide... these whips were only planted last year, so the diameter at the point at which I topped them is only probably 5/8-3/4". Thanks,
Yeah, when I first tried it I didn't have specific instructions but played it by feel. I'm not sure exactly how deep I go- just beneath the green of the cambium and the width would vary depending on the diameter of the wood, of course. For what your talking about just a knick would probably be adequate.
Yeah I think "Nick" is the term for it as well.
I don't recall -- I think you can nick most any fruit trees, like stones/pomes/etc, correct?
its called notching. Glen here is a vid on it. about 1 min in you will see how he does it on whips.
My only knowledge of the subject is from texts, but nicking is defined as cutting the wedge below the bud and notching is above. But it's used interchangeably in the below text I just reviewed. Is it only referred to as notching, regardless of location/purpose, in modern industry usage?
Glenn_russell. I doubt this will help greatly, but take it as you will. Here is relevant text from an often recommended book on pruning and training. The picture is pretty basic showing a wedge removal (two adjoining crescent cuts) and overall it's not that impressive. /shrug
In order to build up a good thick trunk, whips are often cut back in their first year.
      ... [you already know this part] ...
When a whip is cutback, the natural result is for the upper buds to develop into vigorous upright shoots, competing to become the new leader. These are not ideal for branches because they will be growing at a narrow V angle to the stem and may split when mature and heavy. Fruit growers use nicking to counteract this undesirable growth habit. Nicking below the two topmost buds once the leader is cut back allows only weak growth from them. Lower buds grow strongly to compensate, and at wide angles, because of shading by the stub of stems above them. Any growth that does develop from the two top buds can be pinched back. The stub can be cut back to just above the topmost lateral the following winter.
Notching -- nicking above the bud -- can be used to encourage a shoot to break where it is needed. For example to fill a gap in a fan. If shoots are not wanted in a particular place, an alternative to nicking is to keep pinching back to two leaves any growth that develops.
                      --- Page 107, Apple Training. American Horticultural Society Pruning & Training (Hardcover)
Does this mean this technique only works when the trees are young? My original Granny Smith was bought from a local nursery and really wasn't trained (until I got it, and I did the best I could with it). I'd like to add a couple branches to it. But, on an older tree like that, there really aren't nodes on the central leader anymore. This technique wouldn't work when there aren't any nodes, right? -Glenn
It's pretty reliable for 2 and 3 year old wood but I'm not sure about really older wood than that although I should be able to get back to you in a couple of months. I have a customer who wants me to change some trees that I trained to CT shape into a low open center and I used the method on several trees. We'll see.
Well, I had some grafts that took OK but weren't really moving forward, so I "nocked" or "nicked" or nick-nock-paddywocked just above 'em and I'll see if they show a little extra vigor.
Or mebbe I killed the whole damn tree, I don't know anything anymore. We'll see.
After giving it some thought, I'm pretty sure this will work on apples of any age if trees still have vigor. You are merely tricking the tree into "thinking" that the branch has broken off and apples will usually send out new shoots below a large broken branch. I'm definately going to research this further on a few of the trees I mange.
As far as elaborating on my lack of disinfectants, I'm generally susicious of long held hort beliefs and I just hate doing more work than absolutely necessary to get the results I want.
I've never sterilized grafting tools or worried too much about getting real clean cuts but I still get a high take percentage.
I cut out so much black knot that I'm just in the habit of removing it whenever I see it. Instead of disinfeccting, I spray surgery wounds with chlorathalanil on seriously infected trees (those goddam Methelys).
As far as disinfecting the kinds of cuts we're discussing here, these are much less intrusive than removing a large scaffold and that is done all the time without pruning compounds or disinfectants.
Resurrecting this thread to post observations on nicking:
My Liberty is nearing 15 years old now and has a lot of grafts of different varieties on it. I've always been confused by the fact that some of the grafts seem to take perfectly well but don't thrive. So after reading here I tried it on sluggish ones, and on two grafts which had taken last year but appeared dead this spring. (Costs nothing to try and I can always remove them later.)
The results, after just over a week, were dramatic. Some of this year's grafts which hadn't taken but hadn't dried out now show signs of life; a couple of grafts that had taken last year but not put on much growth have shot out, and at least one of last year's grafts that I was about to give up on may be coming back. So it appears to have made a difference; we'll see. The scars are healing quickly.
It has been an unusually wet, cool spring for us. Things might have been different in different conditions. But this time at least it looks like success.
Thanks to all who brought it up and provided links and information.
Yeah, me too. I hadn't thought of using the technique to juice up listless grafts.
Old trees I scored this spring had about 40% takes of new shoots under wounds. That was probably cutting into 10 year wood. I did it while trees were still dormant but just about to bud out so I might have gotten a higher percentage if I'd done it a couple of weeks later.
For me, I used a small hand-held hack (not a traditional hack saw) simply because I had it. See pic below. It worked great.
I'm just amazed by how useful this thread is turning out to be. It would never have occurred to me to nick a branch this way so I'm glad it was pointed out.
I can see this being very useful when wrestling with pears (and some apples too, for that matter) when they decide go vertical on you.
As for what to cut with so far I've just used my pocket knife.
It works!!! It works!!! It works!!! It works!!!
Thank you everyone.
I was a little worried the 100+ degree temps every day would slow or even prevent the new growth. I was looking out there today though and the proof is in the pudding. A lot of the buds have swollen a little but none have opened or started new growth except for the ones I scored above with my handy fine toothed saw.
Look out world I have a new tool and I know how to use it!
I had mixed results in scoring old wood this year. I did the scoring earlier than I'd like- just as buds were swelling while it's supposed to be done at around petal fall. Only about 30% of scores produced branches in what must have been at least 10 year old wood. In 2 or 3 year old wood I get much better results even when done at this time.
Can nicking/notching be done on peach trees as well as on apples? Would like to stimulate some low buds to produce wide-angled framework branches and so am thinking of cutting the leader above two higher buds, then notching those so they are weakened and the lower buds respond more strongly, with wider angled growth. Will eventually remove the upper stem.
Funny I've been reviewing this exact topic and I recall Olpea and/or others saying there is often trouble activating peach buds on older wood (~ 1" diameter) even when the bud looks to be active (i.e. alive). Even more difficult for dormant buds.
Eric: If you will end up removing the stem, why no de-bud just the two upper buds? Or am I not visualizing it correctly?
I have been foremost in pointing out peach trees are different from other fruit trees when it comes to new shoot development, yet I do recommend notching above peach buds (as with buds from other fruit trees) to stimulate growth.
Allow me to clarify my response.
Peach trees are different in that they are very reluctant to sprout adventitious buds. So that someone new won't have to look that word up, what it basically means is that apples, pears, tart cherries, etc. will easily sprout new shoots even where there wasn't a live bud. They will sprout a shoot simply out of bark. When they are young, it's not uncommon for them to sprout several shoots out of smooth bark.
Peaches are different. Peaches rarely sprout a shoot out of bark. Severely pruned peach trees that are suddenly opened up to sunlight will sprout shoots from bark, but it's just that they are much less willing to do so than other fruit trees. It requires a pretty good shock to make them do it. And even after a shock, they do it less than other fruit trees.
Regarding 1"+ diameter peach trees, I have found when I receive larger peach trees from a nursery, I have extreme difficulty getting the lower buds to sprout (to induce lower scaffolds). I think in many times the lower buds are dead. It's for this reason, for the last few years, I've requested peach trees to be 1/2" or less. It's common for commercial growers around here to order smaller peach trees for that reason. Even when trimming the tree back, the lower buds just sit there on larger diameter trees.
Regarding my comment in the post above, if I can see peach buds starting to sprout, by notching above them, I've found it stimulates their growth. Apparently, once the bud is active, the regular principles of hormone physiology hold true. That is, blocking the auxins from the upper shoots stimulates growth of the lower active buds.
So I would say one would benefit actively sprouting peach buds by notching above them. I would also still say peach buds can be very different from other fruit trees, in that they won't readily form adventitious buds, and lower buds on larger caliper trees frequently just sit there and do nothing. They seem to be dead.
I've got some older peach trees, that I failed to grow lower scaffolds. I've given up trying to force lower scaffolds on these trees. There are a couple of these trees I like, so last summer I T-budded some seedlings to try to make new trees. My intention is to replace the older trees w/ ones that have lower scaffolds.
Thanks Olpea. That concisely sums up what it took me an hour of searching and sifting through Gardenweb's older threads on trunk pruning, lower branching and for peach trees specifically.
Not sure if you think so, but it wasn't my intent that the previous post denounce your info suggesting you contradicted yourself. On my re-read it seemed so since I did not put a period after the first independent clause (after the word "topic"). Interesting how the small decision to make a compound sentence can open up new interpretations.
Those folks above had great experience with testing nicks/nocks last year, I guess I'm the only one out of luck here. None of mine worked, that is, they didn't sprout a branch from what appeared to be a live bud. I did it in several places on a young trunk for several cherries and a peach and apple -- nothing. The scar is still there, but no buds activated. It felt like I was deep enough into cambium but I'll try again this year. Maybe it was timing, also.
Now that I think about it, the vitality of all my cherries grinded to a halt. I think due to hot summer and the micro-climate with excessive heat even though it had only morning sun. My notes have glaring remarks to forgo shade cloth but find entirely cooler spots for the young container cherries and the apples on dwarf stock next year. The pears on 333 had no problem with the excessive sun. Root temps on above were all probably fine.
>>> If you will end up removing the stem, why no de-bud just the two upper buds?
I just realized you are probably following the procedure recommended in above post by the American Hort Society Pruning and Training book. You think I'd catch that one...
I had the de-budding method at my mind's forefront since I just read about it.
Thank you for the helpful answers. I'm doing a four-in-one-hole multiplanting, so decided to do a notching experiment -- I notched 2 trees and left the other two alone. I am skeptical that the buds I notched are still viable. The trunks are nearly an inch. But I have decent framework laterals below where I headed the leader and if the lower buds don't work out I'll still be in good shape, just a little higher than I would have preferred.
Since there are so many folks experienced with stimulating growth in this way on this thread, I'd like to ask a different, but related question.
I have some mature pittosporum tennufolium shrubs that I am using as a screen. They were 20 feet high, recently pruned back to 15 feet or so. I would very much like to increase the density of the screen. Looking at the branches, I see several places where there are longer laterals -- some young, some older wood -- with lots of buds. Can I notch these branches to force growth at the buds? I realize that I could prune further -- I'm wondering if notching is a way to gain new growth where I want it without giving up the growth further out on the branches. In theory it should work, but I have no idea whether broad-leafed evergreens have the same auxin mechanism as budding fruit trees.
I'm digging up an old post, need some pruning advise. I am just about to take delivery of 15 dwarf rootstock apple trees, the grower tells me they are basically whips, I would like to try the tall spindle pruning method so I need to induce lots of branches. The main idea in the tall spindle method is to not head the central leader.
It appears that heading the whip will set back fruit production at least a year, I am not a very patient fellow, is there a way to promote enough branching by the notching (scoring) or any other method without having to head the whip?

I Need Pawpaw Pollen, Please!
Yep, you read right. I need pawpaw pollen! First, though, let me go back a few years to explain what has led to this strange request.
It all started years ago, with a young boy researching edible gardening on the internet. An interesting fruit with a funny name kept popping up in his searches and he soon became obsessed with the idea of growing one. Well, that boy was me and the fruit was the pawpaw. Thus begins the story leading eventually to my current dilemma.
In the interest of time (and your sanities), I'll try to quickly outline the rest of the story. So there I was, young and eager to grow and taste this unusual fruit, but as a student living in apartments, I had no place to plant the trees. So I waited a few years, graduated, got a job, and bought a house. So I got on the internet, and decided to go with two varieties widely agreed to be among the best, Susquehanna and Shenendoah. Only, these Peterson varieties were only grown by the man himself and the waiting list was a year long! So I placed my order and patiently waited a year. Received the pawpaws the next spring, stuck them in the ground... and waited a few more years. Finally, last spring the bare branches developed these funny little round buds, which to my great pleasure turned into flowers! Finally, I would have fruit! So in my excitement I mixed up a fertilizer solution in order to help the trees maximize fruit set. Only, I think I may have overdone it and the Shenandoah ended up dying before it could polinate the other tree. The good news is that the rootstock sprouted back up and in the year since, has nearly grown to the height of the other tree. But it has no fruit buds and my Susquehanna is preparing for another fruitless year.
That is, unless some kind soul could collect a pollen-coated anther or two off their pawpaw this spring and give it to me. I can pay for shipping if needed, or if you are in the Triangle area of North Carolina, I can pick it up in person.
Thanks in advance!
Thanks for the offer, but I don't think you will see flowers this year. Mine were 3 years old (and appoximately 2-3' tall when I planted them and it was the third year they were in the ground when they flowered. You can look at the plants and easily tell the flower buds from the leaf buds though. The flower buds are round while the leaf buds are long and pointed. My flower buds are getting bigger every day now and some of them are even starting to open.
nativeplanter, I've been searching the woods around here for the last several years, and still haven't found any pawpaws! If anyone in the area knows where I could find a wild patch, I'd be happy to hear it. Some of the blooms on my Susquehanna are getting closer to opening!
I finally had a chance to go check out that site today and wow! That guy knew what he was talking about. There were literally hundreds of pawpaws. They were everywhere. This is a great time of year to look for them too, since the flowers hanging on bare branches is very distinctive. By looking up, you could quickly pick out a pawpaw by the silhouette of flowers against the sky. That all the other trees are still bare really helps. Anyway, the flowers on all of the trees at the site I went to are in various stages of maturity, but none are pollen bearing, yet. That's ok though, since the flowers on my pawpaw tree haven't opened yet. Does anyone know how long pawpaw pollen will be viable once harvested? And whether it will keep longer in the refrigerator? Here's a picture of one of the bigger trees I found, sitting on the banks of a creek where it had a pretty good exposure to the sky. I think that helped it grow larger, and the flowers mature earlier than most of the other trees I found.
These photos are great and I hope someday to see pawpaws growing in the wild. I have several mature trees in my yard. I started out with a pair in 1996 and one died in 2000. My lone pawpaw was able to self-pollinate for several years until the newer trees matured. I had reduced fruit production this year due to a drought and a scarcity of insect pollinators. I learned that I should put an attractant like rotten meat in the middle of my pawpaw grove to attract flies that will visit the flowers, too.

We love Sorrento and been here many times. It happens that we should stay just 2 nights before move in our usual place to stay. We read lot of positive reviews but... Our experience was absolutely terrible!
Of course, there are not 'shalets' as they say - there are some small cabing from horror movies... We had no towels and the receptionist after asking us - "Do you need any?" dissapeared forever. A/C was broken, there was no bulb in a small bed lamp... But you can cope...in the end of the day it is very cheap accomodation and you can compromise with some things . You can cope with broken knife and greasy cutlery...it is not very easy to make cup of coffee from the sousepan - they have no kettles or anything like that...BUT!!!!...Both nights, just after 10pm we had very 'lovely' neighbours who was drinking, shouting, laughung, etc till 3am...When we try to reasoning them...you understand what their response was...But to our surprise the response from the reseptionist was almost the same - We are not responsible...We can do nothing...
So, it was our real nightmare. Never ever go to this horrible hole.

|Half Baths
|Property type
|Minimum Stay
|3 - 5 nights
This exclusive two-bedroom / two-shower apartment is located in what is by common consensus the very best Paris location of all: the heart of smart St-Germain-des-Prés. The apartment is mere steps from the famed Café Flore and Café Deux Magots institutions, where the Paris intelligencia historically went to sip their coffee. Today the neighborhood is Paris' most sought-after.
The apartment was renovated from floor to ceiling using high-quality materials, fittings and furnishings. An architect and interior designer worked together to bring you a top-drawer result.
With the Apostrophe boutique (cutting-edge Paris fashion) on the ground floor, the apartment is on the 2nd french floor (third floor US) walk-up (no elevator but short staircase) of a modest 18th century building. The unrestored communal parts retain the feel of old Paris.
The entrance of the apartment opens onto the living room and also distributes the other rooms and separate lavatory. A clever glass-panelled partition in the hallway offers a view of the open kitchen, and a welcome sense of space and brightness.
The living room features two French windows, with ample seating for 4. The floors are finished in magnificent gray-stained hardwood parquet boards. The room is color-coordinated in subtle tones of beiges and grays. The overall feel is one of subdued refinement with a special Parisian cachet. It's a wonderful space to unwind in, with double glazing ensuring peace and quiet.
The contemporary oak kitchen is open on the living room and is fully equipped, including a dish-washer. There is a table and seating for four.
The first bedroom is street-facing (quiet with double-glazing), a queen-sized double bed and generous fitted closets. The room is finished in taupes and contrasting accents of fushia. This bedroom is associated with a stylish marble-clad bathroom.
The second bedroom is courtyard-side, with zenithal light coming in from a large skylight that has a black-out blind. The room is finished in delicate beiges, has a queen-sized bed (that can also be made as two singles) and fitted clothes closet. This bedroom has an ensuite shower area that has been cleverly designed as a luxury boudoir, so it feels almost like small private living room, exclusively for the occupants of the second bedroom.
The communal parts of this building (staircase and hallways) are largely unrestored (but clean), retaining the simple charm of a bygone era. We have therefore elected to offer this stylish and elegant 2-bedroom / 2-shower apartment at an attractive price. Take advantage of this keen rate, offering economical access to a great apartment in a fairytale left-bank location in the centre of Saint-Germain, the most sought-after Paris neighborhood!
Hi, my name is Carole. I own this apartment with my husband, Bruno-Alex, which is half French, half English and have lived in London, Paris and Los Angeles.
We both love Paris and especially the St Germain des Prés area because it has so much to offer (coffee shops, restaurants, great shopping, museums, the Luxembourg gardens)
We would be glad to have you as a guest and we hope you enjoy your stay in Paris.
Warm regards,
Bruno-Alex and Carole Wagner
The Owner purchased this apartment in 2007
Located steps from the famous Flore and Deux Magots cafés. The exclusive and sought-after St-Germain location, with its quintessentially Parisian village-like atmosphere, is as central as you'll find, so you'll be within easy walking distance of almost of the best Paris sights.
This beautifully designed two-bedroom / two-bathroom is a very special place to stay. The bedrooms are perfectly quiet and the beds feature thick comfortable mattresses, so you're sure to sleep well.
Hi Isabelle,
We are back in Singapore! Thanks for allowing us to stay in your wonderful apartment which is convenient and safe. We enjoyed your apartment very much and took good care of it. We will surely stay there the next time we are in Paris!
This apartment is a gem right in the heart of St. Germain des Pres. Not only are fantastic stores, museums and restaurants within easy walking distance but so also are major metro stops so you can get anywhere in Paris easily. The luxury apartment is lovely with more amenities than expected - not only a fully stocked kitchen but even washer & dryer. We were 3 adults and with the two bedrooms there was plenty of room. The owner was extremely helpful in working out the arrangements and could not have been more accommodating. We will definitely return.
This was a great location for a trip I took with my husband and 2 friends. The location is fantastic - just step out of the building and you are surrounded by shopping and cafes. Latin quarter is a few blocks away for an inexpensive meal. There is a washer and dryer - unheard of for a Parisian rental - and a dishwasher.
The apartment is really lovely. Everything one needs is there, it's charming, and the location makes it really worth every euro!
This is a great apartment in a wonderful location. The layout and space was perfect for our family of four (2 adults, 2 teenagers). The apartment was exactly like the pictures. It is very comfortable, the beds are great, and the living room has nice windows overlooking the Boulevard St. Germain. The kitchen is nicely outfitted and we enjoyed the option of cooking a meal or just having coffee and pastries in the morning to start the day. The Wi-Fi worked great which is essential if you are traveling with teenagers.
The location was perfect. The St Germain area is very nice and the apartment is close to several restaurants, cafes, markets and shops. It is easy to get around Paris from the apartment with many of the best sights in Paris within walking distance. A Taxi line nearby made it easy to catch a ride when needed.
Working with the owner was very easy. She was very helpful and responsive which made the entire process from booking the property to getting checked in and out stress free. She even helped arrange transportation from the Paris Gare Du Nord train station. We would definitely rent again if this property were available.
Spent six nights with three of my women friends. The location was outstanding. The apartment was nicely decorated and very comfortable. We could walk to most of the best sightseeing venues. We would all come back to this apartment again!!
We just returned from Peris and spent a week with 2 ten y/o grandchildren in the apartment.
The apartment was immaculate when we arrived,and was very comfortable.
The space was comfortable for the four of us.
Beds were also terrific .Despite being on St.Germain the apartment was quiet with the windows closed.
Location was as good as it gets.Walking distance from Monoprix,Bon Marche,Grand Epicerie .Easy walk to the Louvre,D 'Orsay and The Great Cafe Flore.
Carole was wonderfully responsive and generously left a bottle of wine and candy.
Would rent again. Also two metro stations close by.

AirAsia Plane Carrying 162 Lost; 3rd Malaysia Airline Shock
An astonishingly tragic year for air travel in Southeast Asia turned worse Sunday when an AirAsia plane carrying 162 people disappeared over stormy Indonesian waters, with no word on its fate despite several hours of searching by air and sea. AirAsia Flight 8501 vanished in airspace possibly thick with dense storm clouds, strong winds and lightning on its way from Surabaya, Indonesia, to Singapore. Searchers had to fight against heavy rain. The Malaysia-based carrier's loss comes on top of the still-unexplained disappearance of Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 in March and the downing of Malaysia Airlines Flight 17 in July over Ukraine. At the Surabaya airport, shocked family members pored over the plane's manifest, crying and embracing when they learned the news. Nearly all the passengers and crew are Indonesians, who are frequent visitors to Singapore, particularly on holidays.

Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge: A Beauty With a Beastly Compromise
It's hard to know what to make of the Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge . Once you get past the initial shock of seeing a smartphone that appears somehow "bent," the curved sides looking as if the screen has somehow begun to melt away, you start to wonder, what it can do? Compared to its predecessor (more accurately its progenitor), the Galaxy Note Edge , not a whole hell of a lot. The Note Edge was Samsung's first phone with a curved screen — and its screen curved on just one side.

Michael Jackson Patented 'anti-gravity' Shoes Following Famous Lean Dance
For the video of his 1987 single "Smooth Criminal," pop sensation Michael Jackson devised a dance routine. He leaned forward 45 degrees, apparently defying gravity, and completely blew our minds. (In reality, the effect was achieved by wires.) But Jackson wanted to recreate the same dance move in live performances on tour. So, along with two co-inventors, Jackson developed a special shoe.
