The Portland and Park Avenue bridges will be closed for construction throughout the summer, leaving both drivers and bicyclists without one of the main arteries into and out of downtown.
The bridges, which cross Interstates I-35W and I-94, will close May 6 and reopen in early August. The $5.7 million construction is meant to make the road surfaces smoother and extend bridge life, according to the Minnesota Department of Transportation, which is overseeing the construction.
The Portland bridge averages more than 13,900 drivers per day, while the Park bridge sees more than 11,000 per day, according to city of Minneapolis traffic data. Both are high numbers in comparison to nearby roads.
Drivers should expect slower commute times along the popular routes, especially in the first days of construction, said Minneapolis Traffic Operations Engineer Steve Mosing.
"It will just be a matter of people figuring out their routes to get to and from downtown," he said.
Detour routes (see graphic above) include taking Chicago Avenue from northbound Park Avenue and 3rd Avenue from southbound Portland Avenue.
Mosing said detours will also guide people to interstates, which will likely be the fastest alternate routes to and from downtown.
The bridges are also a popular route for bicyclists, as both avenues opened exclusive bike lanes in November 2012.
Soren Jensen, the executive director of the Midtown Greenway Coalition, said the bridges were among the best routes into and out of downtown for bicyclists.
Bicyclists will be detoured to Chicago Avenue, which
lacks bike lanes will get new striped bike lanes. Jensen said commuters should practice patience, as construction is a part of life in Minnesota.
"Detours are a pain, but they just sort of come with the territory," he said.

Curieuse Island
Curieuse Island is a small granitic island 1.78 sq mi (4.6 km2) in the Seychelles close to the north coast of the island of Praslin. Curieuse is notable for its bare red earth intermingled with the unique Coco de Mer palms, one of the cultural icons of the Seychelles, only being present on the two islands.
Originally named "Ile Rouge" due to its red coloured soil.[1] In 1768 the French claimed possession of the island, naming it after the schooner "La Curieuse", a ship that was under the command of explorer Marc-Joseph Marion du Fresne. Like a number of islands in the Seychelles, there was a native giant tortoise population that was quickly extirpated.
In 1771 sailors set fire to the island, intending to make harvesting of the Coco de Mer nuts easier. The fire destroyed many of the islands' native trees, and indications of the fire can still be seen today, nearly 250 years later.[2]
In 1833, Curieuse was first used as a leper colony, and it functioned in this capacity until 1965. Today, ruins of the leprosarium remain, as well as the former physician's residence at Anse St. Joseph (now an educational center and museum).
In 1979, Curieuse and surrounding waters were declared the Curieuse Marine National Park in order to protect the native wildlife. In the late 1970s, a conservation project was initiated for the relocation of tortoises from Aldabra to Curieuse. Today, it is the home of roughly 500 Aldabra Giant Tortoise, 300 of which live at the Ranger's Station and approximately 200 in the wild. On the southern part of the island is a mangrove swamp that is traversed by a walkway for park visitors. The island is also known for Coco de Mer palms, giant takamaka trees, a large hawksbill turtle rookery and several bird species, such as the rare Seychelles Black Parrot Coracopis nigra barklyi, a parrot found only here and on Praslin.
Most visitors to the Curieuse Marine National Park disembark at Baie Laraie, where the shallow water is known for its population of large humphead parrotfish, growing up to 1.2 m in length. At the rangers headquarters a number of giant tortoises move about. There is a trail from Baie Laraie to Anse St. José on the other side of the island passing over the boardwalk through the thick mangrove forest. The ruins of the leper colony is now well blended into the landscape and includes Creole colonial architecture which consists of a doctor's house turned into a museum containing all the information about Curieuse Island.[3] On the beach in front of the Doctor's House, sea turtles lay their eggs. There is also currently a satellite camp for the Seychelles branch of Global Vision International, a volunteer group that focuses on conservation of the island and surveys local fish, coral, turtle and coco de mer numbers.

Minister's Moment: Beyond the sidewalk
Beyond the Sidewalk
Matthew 28:16-20
Two Sundays in a row recently I heard sermons on stewardship. Usually, these are the sermons that turn us off the most. We don't want anyone telling us how much we should give to the church—and we definitely don't want anyone telling us we should be giving more. That's our business, isn't it? Isn't it?
Actually, only the first sermon was about giving financially—and it was very good. Anyone in that church that morning who didn't understand it was time to look at his/her financial contribution wasn't paying attention.

Larry Fowler
Parker County Sheriff
Parker County Sheriff's Office is deeply saddened with the loss of Sgt. Rusty Arnold.
Sgt. Arnold passed away Tuesday, Dec. 21, 2010, at a Fort Worth hospital from critical injuries after an auto-related accident Monday, Dec. 13, 2010.
Sgt. Arnold was involved in an off-duty accident on Highway 199 in Springtown, Monday morning, Dec. 13, 2010, where he suffered severe head trauma. He was flown by air ambulance to a Fort Worth hospital, where he fought for more than a week for his life. According to a Texas Department of Public Safety investigation, Sgt. Arnold was the second vehicle stopped at a red light when he was hit from behind by a third vehicle, traveling at highway speed.
Sgt. Arnold leaves behind his wife, young son, immediate and extended family, friends and loved ones who need the prayers of our community.
Sgt. Arnold began his career with the Sheriff's Office in June 2001. He earned a corporal's rank in Oct. 2006, and was promoted to patrol sergeant in Nov. 2008. He was a war veteran with active service in Operation Iraqi Freedom from Jan. 2003, to Feb. 2004, as a sergeant in the United States Army Reserves.
Parker County Sheriff Larry Fowler said a cloud hangs over the Sheriff's and county offices with the loss of Sgt. Arnold.
"I can not express my sympathies enough toward his family and department personnel," said Sheriff Fowler. "This is such a tremendous loss. Rusty was more than a patrol sergeant – he was a loyal brother. He was inspiring and he was a great leader. He was loved and highly admired for his work ethics and friendly demeanor. He was also my friend. He leaves behind his legacy of what being an exemplary law enforcement officer should be and what younger deputies should continue to strive to be. We have lost a good man. Nothing strikes a department as the loss of an officer, but losing Rusty hits deeper than home – our hearts are broken."
The Parker County Sheriff's Office will be retiring Sgt. Arnold's badge number. Funeral arrangements are pending.
If you would like to make a donation to Sgt. Arnold's family, you may do so at Pinnacle Bank in Springtown under Rusty Arnold's name, account No. 4006853974. Donations are also being accepted at the Parker County Sheriff's Office.

Hey guys, I'm new here and I'm so glad I found this forum. I wasn't much of a beer fan until I visited my local micro brew and brew supply store! Now my wife and I go every Friday!!
So I've been seriously thinking about brewing a batch of my own beer but I wanted to know if it is possible to brew half a batch or does that not work out very well. You know, just take a regular recipe and half it. Because I'm new to this I didn't want to brew 5 gal of cr@ppy beer only to pour it down the drain.
Any comments or suggestions welcome.
Sorry guys. I should have done a more thorough search. I see this question has been asked and answered.
Thanks anyways. Hopefully my next question will be better.
if its Aurora co i take it you went to dry dock and the brewhut. they are really great guys out there. a half batch takes just as much time as a full batch but half batches are easily done.
Yes it is Dry Dock Brewing and Brew Hut! They make a great beer, and are a great bunch of guys!
Thanks for your comments!
Does the material the brew pot is made of make a difference in your boil? Like if the pot is stainless steel, aluminum, cast iron, copper?
Like my snazzy new avatar? Get Sons of Zymurgy swag, here, and brew with the best.Revvy's one of the cool reverends. He has a Harley and a t-shirt that says on the back "If you can read this, the bitch was Raptured. - Madman
I gotta tell ya, just between us girls, that Revvy is HOT. Very tall, gorgeous grey hair and a terrific smile. He's very good looking in person, with a charismatic personality... he drives like a ****ing maniac! - YooperBrew
Jeez. I've hit 2 for 2.
Maybe I'll come up with an original idea yet!!
Thanks for the info though!!

BASF, Petronas to invest $500 mn in Malaysia plant
25th April 2013, 0 comments

water in fertilizer?
I read somewhere you do not need to water after fert. in the fall. Is this true?
I would say NO. Here is the deal when you water you can control the rate so as to apply enough water to dissolve the fertilizer and let it soak into the ground. If you wait on rain to do that it is very possible to get a toad strangler and wash all that expensive fertilizer down the storm drains.
Secondly leaving some fertilizers (fast release formulas) on the ground can burn grass. This can happen a couple of different ways.
1. If the grass was wet when applied will dissolve some of the product but remain on the blades and burn the grass from high concentrations of nitrogen.
2. is similar to 1 except morning dew droplets mixing with the product.
I believe the bags of granular fertilizer mentions about why you should water the lawn after applying it. First, it helps dissolve the fertilizer so it can be absorbed into the soil as well as knocking the granules off the blades of grass to make better contact with the soil.
As far as liquid fertilizer, it is best to water the area first, then apply the fertilizer after about an hour.
This creates a capilliary action and takes the fertilizer down to the roots. If you apply liquid fertilizer while the lawn is dry, it might run off where you don't want it or otherwise sit and evaporate. It has to dampen the soil before being absorbed.
If you are in New Jersey, then there is enough moisture on the ground each morning which makes watering in unnecessary.
I apply fertilizer around Thanksgiving weekend. I have never watered it in.
If you are in New Jersey, then there is enough moisture on the ground each morning which makes watering in unnecessary.
I apply fertilizer around Thanksgiving weekend. I have never watered it in.
This is why these forums are so good. I've never seen anyone not burn their lawn if they did not water in synthetic fertilizer. The tiny amount of moisture called dew usually creates an extremely salt-dense solution that burns everything it touches.

The Blueprint for Greatness01 Jul 2010, written by Riz 0 Comments
Well, that really didnt take too long did it? Nets part owner Jay Z and Russian bagillionare Mikhail Prokhorov really want NYC fans to know that the Knicks are no longer the only act in town. The NETS will be in Brooklyn officially, and they are ready to make some noise. Step 1, hang a giant billboard across from The Garden mocking the Knicks, Step 2, let Jay Z sweet talk Lebron into coming to Brooklyn.
If you're anywhere near Madison Square Garden, take a look at the building on 34th and 8th and you will see most of Mikhail Prokhorov's face and by the end of today, Jay-Z's face will be complete. Today is the start of the free-agent negotiation period and this mural couldnt have been placed at a better time. The Knicks owner James Dolan didnt take kindly to the 225-x-95-foot mural featuring Prokhorov and Jay-Z standing next to each other with "The Blueprint For Greatness" and a Nets logo on it. He called the league, and he also gave Hove a call. Im sure that conversation went real well.
Dolan: Umm, Hi. Sean Carter.. I mean, Jay.. Mr. Z. I dont really like that mural you hung outside my building.
Jay Z: ALLOW ME TO REINTRODUCE MYSELF. MY NAME IS HOVE!!!
Dolan: What?
Jay Z: ASK ABOUT ME, NIGGA ASK A BOUT ME!!!
Dolan: Ask who?
Jay Z: ITS YA BOYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!
One statement certainly seems to be that the Nets wanted the Knicks to know they plan to be winners in free agency if not rule the big city. Remember what Prokhorov said last month:
"I have only one secret. We're going to turn Knicks fans into Nets fans. It's a part of success."
New Old Spice Commercial Is As Good As The First01 Jul 2010, written by Revelation 0 Comments

Kilian Martin: A Skate Escalation30 Jun 2010, written by Revelation 1 Comments
Skate filmmaker Brent Novak has recently released this short video of freestyle extraordinaire Kilian Martin. The Spanish-born skater appears to be heavily influenced by Rodney Mullen and seems to be following in his footsteps too, having won the California State Freestyle Pro Championship in 2009. As one guy says in his Youtube comment, "how do people not like this.. this is the best thing I've seen since boobs.". I couldn't agree more, if you don't like this, you don't like boobs, simple as that.
Clean Train Policy Abandoned in NYC30 Jun 2010, written by Riz 0 Comments
In 1989 the MTA decided that they would pull all painted trains from service until they had been cleaned. This succsssfully eliminated graffiti from roaming the city as moving billboards, and all trains in service were once again clean and uniformed, until now. People waiting for the 6 train did a double-take when their regular train pulled into the station in Grand Central. The ad is for Target and promotes their newest location in East Harlem. The MTA worked so hard to get rid of graffiti, but after 21 years, they finally woke up and realized that they are in possession of the most popular ad space in all of NYC, providing over 5 million rides per day.
10 Of The Greatest Prison Escapes30 Jun 2010, written by Revelation 0 Comments
The primary purpose of a prison is to keep the bad people in, and for the most part, they're quite successful at doing exactly that. Occasionally, however, a resourceful few manage to get out – it's never easy though. Whether you're guilty or not (everyone claims to be), we thought we would "applaud" those that have successfully beat the system… well, sort of. Here is a list of history's most famous prison escapes.

Known as the Texas 7, this group of guys successfully escaped from the John Connally Unit near Kenedy, Texas on December 13, 2000. The seven men carried out an elaborate scheme and managed to escape a maximum-security state prison using several well-planned ploys: the seven convicts overpowered and restrained nine civilian maintenance supervisors, four correctional officers and three uninvolved inmates during the slowest period of the day when there would be less surveillance of certain locations. After gagging them, the seven inmates stole their clothing, credit cards, and identification. They eventually made their way to the prison maintenance pickup truck, which they used to escape from the prison grounds. Believe it or not, they were actually apprehended January 21-23, 2001 as a direct result of the television show America's Most Wanted.
I Want That! Samurai Umbrella29 Jun 2010, written by Revelation 0 Comments
This Samurai Umbrella is brilliant in its simplicity and pretty straightforward in execution. When it rains you can traipse around the city like a fancy lad afraid of drops falling on your head, but when it dries up store the umbrella over your back like Toshiro Mifune all drunk and angry like. Who needs a fortress when you have the Samurai Umbrella?
The 51 Best Little Kid FAILS29 Jun 2010, written by Riz 0 Comments
Ive always said pretty much the same thing about little kids, they are super cute and fun to play with, but its nice when I get to go home and leave them with their parents. Im sure when I have my own kids, Im going to think they are the best thing in the entire world, but for right now, Im pretty content with just laughing at them with they fall down or get attacked by cats. This is a video of the 51 greatest little kid fails. Im not sure what part I like the best, but the dad at the 1:39 mark firing the football like Brett Favre to his 5 year old son had me rewinding it a couple of times.
Paul Basagoitia Backyard Shredding29 Jun 2010, written by Revelation 0 Comments
There are some sweet moves in this 3 minute video of Paul Basagoitia dirt jumping at his property, shot from a Canon 7d mounted on a RC chopper (Trex 700). The whole video was shot over the course of a few days and really captured some great moments. I wish my backyard had some cool shit like this, instead all I got is a basketball hoop that hasn't been used in 6 years and a shed that shelters my new Torro lawnmower, awesome. Slightly NSFW soundtrack, but only if you work in a place for babies.

Fast Food Nation: The Dark Side of the All-American Meal
Harper Collins, 2004 - History - 399 pages
Fast food has hastened the malling of our landscape, widened the chasm between rich and poor, fueled an epidemic of obesity, and propelled American cultural imperialism abroad. That's a lengthy list of charges, but Eric Schlosser makes them stick with an artful mix of first-rate reportage, wry wit, and careful reasoning.
Schlosser's myth-shattering survey stretches from California's subdivisions, where the business was born, to the industrial corridor along the New Jersey Turnpike, where many of fast food's flavors are concocted. Along the way, he unearths a trove of fascinating, unsettling truths -- from the unholy alliance between fast food and Hollywood to the seismic changes the industry has wrought in food production, popular culture, and even real estate.

Check out live tweets, amazing photos, TED blog posts and awesome video coverage of the session Those Flying Things at this year's TED Global, featuring the work of automation and controls expert Raffaello D'Andrea, and drone ecologist Lian Pin Koh. We will be adding new material here as it becomes available, so check back soon. Photo credit: James Duncan Davidson.
Two of the most challenging problems tackled with quadrocopters so far are balancing an inverted pendulum and juggling balls. My colleagues at ETH Zurich's Flying Machine Arena have now combined the two.
Surrounded by his quadrocopter drones on stage, Raffaello D'Andrea explains feedback control and talks about the coming Machine Revolution
During the 20 minute presentation, Raffaello D'Andrea revealed some of the key concepts behind his group's impressive demonstrations of quadrocopters juggling, throwing and catching balls, dancing, and building structures – and illustrated them with live examples with quadrocopters flying on stage.
Manual programming of robots only gets you so far. And, as you can see in the video, for quadrocopters that's not very far at all (see the "Without Learning" part starting at 1:30):
My colleagues at the ETH Zurich's Flying Machine Arena have just released a new video. Here is what Robin Ritz, Lead Researcher on the project, has to say about it:
This video is a performance piece incorporating a troupe of 16 quadrotors. It's a very nice way to spend a few minutes.

Help me choose a tub spout?
bumble_doodleOctober 10, 2012
So, I'm planning on mixing my hardware from different Moen collections (gasp) and here's where I am so far: Monticello sink faucet and Weymouth shower set. My dilemma is that while I think the Weymouth tub spout (third from left) is kind of funky right now, I'm not sure I'll feel the same way 3 years down the road. I should probably mention the bathroom will be white subway walls w/ marble hex floor and it is a shower tub w/ Sanijet 320.
So, which spout would YOU choose?
Thanks everyone - I ordered the one on the left last night! I did have second thoughts after I showed it to DH. He thought it looked like the sewer pipes from the Super Mario Bros. video game (eye roll). It was a done deal when I told him he was out voted by GW'ers. :)

A rather amusing cow in "evzones" (national guard) military dress. Dig the "pom-pom" shoes? ;) The background buildings are in the nicely restored Kotzia Square (City Hall).
so they have this sort of cows spread out around the city? Toronto's symbol is a Moose, and they are all around downtown, all painted in different colors and so forth
I remember when the moose became a symbol in Toronto. At the time some critics were saying that T.O. was attempting to mimic the Chicago Cow Parade (i.e. another attempt at being self-consciously "world class"). But it turns out the cow/moose/horse parade has caught-on world-wide. It is a fun way to allow local artists to be creative, and the proceeds from the sale of many of the painted items usually go to charity.
Last year in Belgium they had a 175-strong horse parade to commemorate the 175th anniversay of the Belgian state, here is a pic: www.flickr.com/photos/melanieandjohn/185633947/in/set-721...
thanks for adding this to "the athens cow parade" group.

POSTED: Sunday, December 16, 2012 - 6:26pm
UPDATED: Monday, December 17, 2012 - 12:38am
Price, Texas — Tammy Ellison of Price Texas says she was called upon by God to set up some type of memorial in her own town to help remember all the victims lost in Friday's shooting in Newtown Connecticut.
Ellison set up a memorial just outside of her 6-year-old son's school, Carlisle Elementary. She says it hit home for her since she has a son the same age as most of the children who lost their lives that day. Ellison says, "Nobody had a place where anyone was setting up a vigil or memorial or anything so I prayed about it and I said ya know what I'm gonna step up and do it."
She says when she saw that people were traveling hundreds of miles to go to Newtown to pay respects to the families, she knew she wouldn't be able to travel so she set up something in her own town to show her respect.
She hopes the people of Price, Henderson and the surrounding communites can come to the memorial to pray, set flowers and just take a moment to remember all the lives lost in the Sandy Hook Elementary school massacre.

Christina Milian and her boobtastic of glory is back in full force. I don't know if it's related to promoting her reality show which has to be one of the best four hundred reality shows on TV, or just a couple years now past baby, but Christina Milian seems to determined to get her heavenly bodily treats back into the discussion of most passion inducing.
Christina's latest and greatest exhibitionist cleavetastic efforts appear in Latina magazine, where she appears both MILFtastic dainty and funbag fully equipped. Many a man has steered his ship into the shore thinking of Christina Milian in the past. If she's coming out of her shell once more, expect those rocky shores to be cluttered with spent vessels once more. She really does have a tremendous amount of natural Latina lust inducing skills. Enjoy.

Colorado Shooter James Holmes Charged With Murder

Sanctions were levied against the Penn State football team on Monday by the NCAA for its role in the Jerry Sandusky sex scandal and while the school avoided the 'death penalty,' it was still hit hard.
Helping your kids with their homework is one thing. Breaking into the school's computer systems to change your kids' grades is something else entirely — but that's what a mom in Pennsylvania is accused of doing.
Someone who was at the Colorado theater took video on their cellphone moments after the shooting occurred. The video is from outside the front doors of the theater, where you can see the panic of people exiting the theatre as the strobe lights of the fire alarm flash in the background.
At least 12 people were killed and 50 injured when someone went into an Aurora, Colorado movie theater during a midnight screening of 'The Dark Knight Rises' Friday morning, fired a smoke grenade and began shooting.
UPDATE - An already horrifying situation has, unbelievably gotten worse. Police in Amsterdam have arrested and charged a 15 year old and 16 year old with second-degree murder, connected to the remains found.
Police are investigating an early Thursday morning shooting in Troy that left one man dead.

It appears that the situation is over. Police now have a suspect in custody after surrounding the Cohoes home he was held up in. Information was scarce but the suspect was allegedly involved with an overnight robbery in which an elderly man was assaulted.

RIO RANCHO – High-energy, boxing-style training is coming to Rio Rancho.
LA Boxing franchisees Reece and Noelle Killebrew are gearing up to open their third metro-area location at 1650 Rio Rancho Blvd., near Kmart.
The concept encompasses workouts led by trained instructors, including boxing- or kickboxing-style training with large hanging punching bags, circuit training with ropes and other equipment, and self-defense.
Classes involve a variety of moves designed to build strength, flexibility and endurance, incorporating pushups, sit-ups and squats interspersed with rhythmic kicks and punches on a 150-pound bag.
Doing a typical one-hour session, with warmups and stretches, about 40 minutes of interval high/low intensity activity and a cool-down will burn 800 to 1,000 calories, Reece Killebrew said.
"It's a great way to make cardio exercise fun, get in shape and lose weight," he said.
The 7,500-square-foot gym also has a raised boxing ring where boxers can practice sparring, and a retail area where gym members can buy boxing gloves and clothing.
The couple opened their first Albuquerque location at Renaissance and Alexander in 2004 and added a West Side location in late 2010.
They now have several hundred members at each of the Albuquerque locations, ranging from 6 years old to more than 60.
Rio Rancho seemed like a natural choice, Reece Killebrew said.
"It's an up-and-coming community," he said.
The LA Boxing franchise system permits up to three locations in a metro area.
The Rio Rancho LA Boxing location is scheduled to open on Jan. 14. The Killebrews are planning to hold a grand-opening event on Feb. 2, during which classes will be taught by former World Extreme Cagefighting champion "Razor" Rob McCullough.

"EXACTLY how it looked on my screen including picture quality. There were no surprises. Quality of card stock was superb. Not flimsy. Chose rectangular envelope to avoid additional postage...this is hard to explain but tinyprints glues inside of envelope to make the card fit perfectly (card doesnt get lost deep in envelope) and it feels as if its made for the envelope. My family always loves these and uses as keepsakes on fridge or in a special area in their house. Cards from 2008 stayed ingreat condition and didnt even fade. Looks like the day they were sent."
"We personalized the colours and even included pictures on the back of the invitation. It was too easy! The quality of the paper is great and the printing was good. My friends and family have always great things to say when we use tiny prints for all invitations for our son. Definitely recommend."
"This product was just beautiful. It was very easy to customize. I opted for the slight shimmer look, and it really was perfect. We received many complements as the RSVPs came in. Definitely make sure you have an extra to save for the baby book. We sure did. Very satisfied customer."
"Fantastic customer service - extremely accommodating regarding changes and deadlines! The card was fantastic quality and came out way above what we could have imagined. Thank you!"
"My husband is the one who picked these out for our daughter's baptism. They turned out perfectly simple just the way we wanted them."

can roses cross-pollinate and change colors?
Ok, either I'm hallucinating, have bad memory, or a strange rose plant popped into my garden on it's own accord - OR roses can cross-pollinate and change color. The rose bush I planted about 2 years ago had yellow flowers, but the bloom that just opened (and the color of the many buds that have not opened yet) are RED!
My neighbors have 2 red rose bushes, so that's why I'm thinking maybe it cross-pollinated mine. But googling the situation also brought in some info about if a plant had been grafted at some point, and that part died, then the other coloring would take over. And then also something about a spontaneous mutation of the parent plant.
Has anyone else had a rose plant do this? I'll be interested to see if I get any yellow blooms on it, or if will all be red. Also, I have another yellow rose on the other side of that same garden bed - wonder if it will do the same! Hope not - although the red is pretty, I really liked the yellow ones :^(
Pollination affects the offspring (aka seeds) not the original plant. My guess the characteristics of the original plant had a little tendency for multiple colours of blossoms (some varieties intentionally try to get this). It maybe a "non-true" nature of your plant.
Well I think you're hallucinating, and that's the end of it! Have you been taking your meds regularly???
First of all, the only thing that cross pollination affects is the SEED. It has nothing to do with, and can't change in any way, a growing plant. So that scratches that theory! (Tho you'll find beaucoup folks who will INSIST that that's what "changed" the color of their roses--and I think I've waited on ALL of them!)
I've never heard of "spontaneous mutation of the parent plant," so scratch that theory--unless somebody else around here has ever heard of this---and has some sort of proof that it can occur!
Now on to what's left! Yes! Many, if not most, of the roses sold today are grafted onto a root stock that's completely different than the variety you're buying. If the canes coming from the graft die, and the root starts to produce new canes, you wind up with the color of whatever the root stock is--usually red. It is possible that you could have canes from both above and below the graft still growing on your rose. If there are any yellow canes left, they may not bloom till a little bit later, so wait a month to be sure. If there are any yellow canes, go thru and cut out all the canes that have reverted back to the root stock. You may be able to tell even if they aren't blooming, which you have. Dig down till you find a round "knob" at the base of the old canes, and anything that's coming out from below that will be coming from the root stock. The graft may be just above the soil level, or may be buried, depending on who planted it! There's a lot of dispute about how they should be planted, but we always recommended planting with the graft right on/above the surface, which, apparently, makes it a little less likely that they will revert, and definitely makes it easier to see where your canes are coming from. If you have both red and yellow, you definitely want to cut out all the red to try to save your yellow canes. Buying "own root" roses eliminates this problem! Either they live or they die--but they don't "change color!" Buying own root roses, however, will limit your choice of varieties--tho I understand they're starting to produce more of them!
Now! About those meds!!!
Skybird you are correct on the rootstock (however I have found most of them are like wild roses and come out pink). But if the red is coming from above the graft it could be an non-true feature/defect of the original rose. I personally would be glad if I had a rose perform this trick.
The most common rootstock on roses is the US (other than for Florida) is Dr. Huey, which blooms deep red flowers just once a year in June. This is the most likely reason for the red blooms. I see Dr. Huey blooming all over the Denver area.
Although I have had roses sport (mutate), but those blooms are usually white. I then take the sport as a cutting and see if it's stable. Interesting sports of roses that prove to be healthy and stable (not revert back to looking like the parent plant) are quite marketable. Some of my favorite roses came about from mutations.
I have had roses self seed, one of which produced a very nice double version of Darlow's Enigma. Unfortunately it did it ten feet away in my iris patch.
But, I still think what you got is blooming root stock.
Back when I was a member of the Denver Rose Society, we always recommended burying the graft/bud union at least a couple of inches unless you wanted to mound soil or mulch every fall to protect the graft from winter damage or death which will lead to the rock stock being more likely to take over. Also, it was thought that the grafted stock might form roots of its own if the graft was buried. It used to frustrate us that the instructions on packaged roses often showed the rose being planted with the bud union above ground. (Don't know if the packages still have this, I haven't planted a packaged rose in decades.) Many folks would call the consulting rosarians, asking the same questions you are, saying they planted the rose according to the instructions. Their unprotected graft died in the winter, and Dr. Huey root stock took over.
I always bury my graft to protect it since I don't have the time to pile mulch over the bud union. I have way too many roses to do that.
Pfew! Looks like I'm not crazy (and I don't need meds , Skybird :-p) afterall!!
I have never planted roses before, and have only had minimal experiences living in places that had them growing in my yard - so I'd never heard of this happening. To tell you the truth, I just plopped it into the ground and didn't pay attention to (nor read anything about it on the label) exactly how I planted it :^o.
What did happen last spring was that I thought it had died over the winter. The canes were brown and brittle with no signs of growth. So I bought another yellow rose to replace it, but when I started to dig it up I found shoots coming up just under the surface. So I covered it back up and planted the new rose elsewhere. This rose in question never bloomed last year, although did get plenty of leaves and stalks. I didn't cut it back as far last fall, and with the fair winter we had and lots of rain, it has grown like gangbusters this spring!
So sounds like indeed it must have been a grafted rose, and the Dr. Huey root stock is what grew last and this spring, and not the apparently grafted yellow part. What is the reason for grafting to this root stalk - hardiness?
I still wonder if maybe I'll still get some yellow, because some of the stalks look thicker than the others and the red buds/blooms are on the lower branches which look a little smaller. It will be an interesting plant to watch this year!
Thanks for all the great info!!
mstywoods, the primary reason for grafting roses onto rootstock is speed and volume in getting desirable roses to market. The rootstock is vigorous and quickly grown to a good size where the top is then lopped off and a single bud eye of the desirable rose is grafted on. This bud eye becomes the graft or bud union we talked about above.
Reproducing roses this way enables a lot of roses to be made from canes of desirable stock since one cane can provide quite a few bud eyes. The vigor from the rootstock enables the bud eye to grow into a good size rose pretty quickly.
Own root roses are often done by taking a piece of rose cane and rooting it. I've also known people who propagated roses by tissue culture too. It then takes longer to get a rose the same size as a grafted one. But as far as I can tell, after a few years both own root and grafted roses end up with similar vigor and size. I've rooted possibly thousands of roses over the years. Some of these I had grafted versions of the rose as well and over time they seem to behave pretty much the same in most cases. David Austin roses seem to throw up more canes from the base when own root. Same with most OGRs. Hybrid Teas were pretty much indistinguishable after three years or so.
In the case of Florida, where there is a root nematode problem, grafting is done for hardiness. The roses there are often grafted onto Fortuniana root stock which is resistant to these nematodes.
Anybody want to take cuttings of roses and try root them, now is a good time. I've got lots and lots of non-patented and old garden roses just coming into bloom.
Memories come back...growing up in Michigan, we'd root roses from cuttings because back then, winters were worse and you never knew what would survive, so that was a cheap way to go. In CA before I quit roses that was a good way to go there as well. IME the old roses were much better than some of the new teas and you'd always go somewhere with a way to bring home a surreptitious cutting from an old rose you liked (there are some wonderful roses at Empire Mine SHP that I spread around admired a lot), the Austins were just coming out when I stopped doing roses, but I liked what I saw in that time. At any rate, what cnetter said.
Fastinating! Well, I'm still waiting to see if a few of the larger canes that have no buds on them will eventually come out with some yellow flowers. The bottom half, with much smaller thickness of canes, is flowering away in red! That would be really cool if I got both colors on one plant :^) Possible?
The rose I planted on the other side of the garden has buds on it, and I believe I detect a hint of yellow. So yeah, still have one at least!!
Thanks for all the great info.

I have an old computer with formatted drive lying around collecting dust, now I want to instal a linux like OS (any suggestions?) on it and install a web server, preferrably Lighttpd. I want to set up a server so that I have an environment to practice web development in PHP or Java. My problem is I dont want to hook up another set of keyboard/mouse/monitor to that old computer, and if possible I want to remote boot/shutdown the server from this computer that I use to type this question.
I did some google search, but the results are never comprehensive or suitable for my circumstance. Any input would be appreciated, book recommendation or link to a good resource are fine too.
P.S. I did some search on stackoverflow before asking this question, if there is another similiar question being asked, let me know.

I sadly missed part 3 of the Real Housewives of Atlanta reunion last night, but I did make it home in time to catch Porsha Williams on Watch What Happens Live!
The burgeoning songstress posed on the red carpet in a $2,825 Auriga Black and White Coat Dress by Roland Mouret:
She accessorized with Christian Louboutin heels and bundles of Go Naked Hair.
Her dress has a shawl collar, front double breasted button fastening with concealed front zip fastening, and two side slit pockets.
Cute look, Porsha! Black and white always works.
What do you think?
See snippets of her interview below:
How do you think she came off?
*She actually used her time in New York to perform her single, Flatline, live:
Thoughts on her performance?
I just wonder where is she getting this money from to be dropping $2k, or a dress every time I see her. I know that she is getting paid on the show but is her money long like that?
Porsha looks beautiful. And the hair looks fab, I like that she used less hair instead of her usual big cascading curls. As far as that whole debacle with Kenya, I watched the interview and it was good that she acknowledge her part and fault. It would be nice for Kenya to also do that as well.
@Amber Y'all didn't hear this from me, BUT word on the street is that Porsha has a real African prince who is financing all of this. Not mad at her!
her overexposed breasts killed the look for me (and they look really uncomfortable).
I can't fathom why everyone is always in the next persons pocket???? Anywho, I think she looked beautiful and she showed a different side of herself yesterday, dare I say a more intelligent side. I too am glad she recognized her part in the incident. Lawd they shut Ms. Kenya down yesterday Lol, for the first time she didn't have much to say. Quick question how did Apollo know she didn't have any credit? Did he try to use her name in his scheme hmm? Lol.
That video is uncofortable to watch….And the first thing I thought when I saw her w/ the new boobs and look was she's getting ready to do playboy. She did use to do the vidoe chick thing.
lol the video though, LMAO I can't I can't anymore. Why??? we could see her posterior when she bent over. "She tried it, I denied it and have to walk on by it".
On Andy she seemed well rehearsed. She said Kenya made her do it but to diss Cynthia was kinda messy, you pulled her shirt down on national TV and you can't even apologize but instead says she goes with the wind…ok
As for the outfit, it would have been cute without the cleavage and her makeup is always heavy. Why? she seems like shes cute.
Can't cosign those balloons on her chest
Portia is an imbecile!
Boobs looks horrible, and she sounded like an idiot on the show.
I love how she didn't really explain her part regarding the Underground Railroad or why she got fake boobs.
She looks good. Enough said!

Comment posted ARSN submission to Rural Education Commission by Simon.
Crazy – as promised I read it. I'm not really suprised at anything that has been mentioned in the submissiomn and given that is from a self-interested group it was fairly neutral in tone, fairly well-argued however, it really was going over similar ground that we've seen rehearsed on these pages ad nauseum.
I'm not going to ooffer a point by point analysis or try to score points (though I did found some comments interesting – Councils should not be allowed to make financial savings – I though was simplistic and given the state of the economy pleading to be treated as a special case brings it own dangers – anyway I thought there were no savings to be made??)
In general I 'm not sure that the tactic of trying to by-pass the eudcation authority and have the HMIs' role enhanced will help protect rural schools. I would suggest you should be careful what you wish for. HMIs are better placed than any individual local authority to bring counter-arguments and evidence from across Scotland/UK and purely because they have no investment or involvement or constituency in Argyll and Bute they are pretty much immune to the type of demo that I saw you folks put on at Kilmory.
I know you want to hear this but I genuienly believe that if ARSN network put more of its efforts into meeting with and working the local authority rathe rthan trying to by-pass it – it would reap rewards.
The real difficulty is that at a time when every service is under scrutiny, under-resourced and being cut (in real terms) the majority of the population (ie those non ARSN people) I think (and I could be wrong) are much more intersted in social care issues, roads, libraries etc.
Finally, I'm not convinced that Mike Russell is the great saviour of rural schools that some think he is. Whilst he admitted the legislation was flawed and not working the way they wanted it didn't stop him using the same legislation when he agreed to shut two schools. I know most of you welcomed him setting up the Commission – but don't be surprised if he uses the opportunity afforded by the Commission to do to rural schools what he is doing presently to FE colleges.
Simon also commented
- Crazy, actually compared to some of the pontificating mogadon mush I've read on here from Newsie, "doc" and others – it was positively enthralling…
- Hi Tim, "the decision to close Hillhead school, which (I agree with you) looks pretty awful" at least we agree on something.
I have tried ploughing through your submission but got bored.
However, a promise is a promise so as I said to Crazy – I will try again.
- Crazy – Now —- you be nice!
OK I promise I shall read the submission and share my thoughts.
As far as the SNP are concenred – these pages were full of articles pre-budget about how inmprotant it was and how unfair Tricky was behaving. Since then? Nothing……
Not one article on why did the SNP group rebelled against their leader? (Do you know?) Why did First Argyll and Robb also vote for Trick Dicky??
I've said before that FA behaves like little more than a SNP propagana machine – I think this proves it. The SNP group vote with Dick Walsh and its not reported on here???????
ps What about SNP Mike Russell's decison on Hillhead?? Disgraceful in my opinion.
- In my dreams Anne?? Well how come Big Robert and Isobel were deserted by the snp cannon-fodder when it came to the vote on the Council's budget??
The budget as Newsie would say is the most impoortant document (you blethered on a bit about its importance yourself Anne) So how come the SNP apart form the Robert and Isobel voted with their arch-nemisis Dick Walsh?
Or didn't you know??????
- Doh *important* – but thanks for asking Anne…
You part of the SNP group split then?

At last some honesty from Newsie! "this is an anti-SNP website".
Hands up everyone who thought this was an outbreak of honesty on Newsie's part (myself incuded)?
Newise was merely telling us that the website she's cribbed this, and other reports, from is an ant-SBP website.
I should've known it was too good be to be true Newsie and this honesty malarkey.
As for the story itself – well if my child told me that story and I had any suspicions that something untoward was going on – I'd on to the school, and the Police if necessary long before, I rushed to post about it on a unionist website. But then I'd be trying to protect my child not score political points.

This keech is from 'fake Simon' of course. Pathetic. Nothing original about him/her – not even the name.

Integrity. OK. It's just that in your original post you said 'we the Tories'
As in "and I can see we the Tories recovering a bit of the ground they have lost".
- Where are the SNP minders in white coats?
Newsie is living proof that there is none so bitter as a turncoat.
She displays again (and not for the last time I'd wager) all of the mindless zealotry of the recent lickspittle 'convert': increasingly desperate to prove their credentials and ingratiate themselves still further with their new and 'bestest-ever pals'.

Great full suite of benefits (100% paid medical/dental/vision), 401k + matching, stock options, life insurance and 3 weeks vacation + sick time. AMAZING executive team!
Salaries are not as competitive as more established software companies.
As the company grows it is important to increase salaries and establish career development paths to retain and grow top talent.

-We're growing fast and if you are up for the challenge, I can't think of a better place to work. I've never been more fulfilled during my career.Cons
Hard to think of any cons. While it still maintains the startup feel and agility, it is no longer an early stage company, if that's what you are looking for.Advice to ManagementAdvice
Keep aiming big, and let's discuss the long-term vision in more specifics, especially regarding products. How will we put the power of data in everyone's hands by making our products even easier to use? Like Google, we should be aiming for the day when people can use Tableau to answer questions about data as easily as the computers in Star Trek!RecommendsPositive OutlookApproves of CEO

I am a Content Management Engineer, since I learned how to use Tableau to analyze our users behaviors on our internal platforms, my job became even more rewarding. With Tableau I can be more effective in applying applicable life-cycle policies and create more automatic workflows for content management, since I have a more visual insight into the logs.Cons
I am honest, I can not think of any, except that our company is growing rapidly and that's a pro.RecommendsPositive OutlookApproves of CEO
