Cistena Sandcherry and Pembina plum
Hello, I am not sure how to find the answers to my questions - I posted a couple messages earlier, but haven't heard back....where do I go to see the answers? I think I might be lost in the Garden Web!
Anwyay, a friend gave me a Pembina plum. I then purchased a Byrke Red plum, but somewhere read where a Western Sandcherry was best for pollination. I couldn't find a Western Sandcherry anywhere, but a local nursery sold me a Cistena Sandcherry - telling me it was the same thing as a Western Sandcherry.....it isn't...but now I am left wondering if it will indeed pollinate the plums. I also have two cherry trees developed at U of Sask....one named Romeo, and one named Juliette. Will I get any fruit from any of these, or have I yet to plant another tree to help with the pollination? To think it all started with a simple gift.
Hi lylac, and welcome to the Far North forum. I know what you mean about being lost - I wandered around Facebook for a couple of weeks before I figured it out, LOL.
If you have a specific question, it's always best to start a new thread instead of asking your question in the middle of another thread started by someone else, because sometimes your question might get missed. Also, when you start a new thread, there is an option, a box to check, if you want responses sent to you via email.
At the bottom of the Far North page, or any main page on Garden Web, there is a search function. It's always good to do a search to see if there were any past discussions about whatever your question might be. In this case, you could search 'Plum' or Plum pollination'. Sometimes your question can be answered without even asking. When you search, there is an option to search only the Far North forum, or to search all forums in Garden Web. I use this feature a lot because try as I may, I just can't remember all the information that flows thru here.
Okay, so after all this I don't have a clue about plum pollination, but there was this past discussion (link below). I'm sure those who are more knowledgeable and experienced will chime in with more for you. In the meantime, here's a past discussion.
Here is a link that might be useful: previous discussion about plum
Welcome on board, Lylak!
Another thing we like to tell you, to put zone # , [hardiness zone you're in] on your member page, this sometimes helps to give you a more precise answer.
Byrke Red plum I have never herd of, doesn't come up in Google either, ..perhaps a new one?
I find, that it's good to plant many varieties to ensure good pollination.
Yes, Western Sandcherry should work, if they bloom in the same time.
I think Nanking cherries too,.. plant as many as you can.
I'm sure, some of the nurseries near you should carry both,
if not, you can order from Boughen, [below]
I bought a whole bunch of tiny plants, Nanking and Western Sandcherry root stock for plum.
I will be doing a little bit of testing to grow dwarf plums on these.
Here is a link that might be useful: Nanking & Western Sandcherry
It's probably a Brook Red Plum, one of the most popular vaieties. I don't know the answer about the Cistena Cherry. Hybrid cherries like Pembina and Brook Red will minimally pollinate each other. A native plum or a Western sandcherry are usually recommended.
U Sask Cherries, like all sour cherries, should be self pollinating.
I agree with granolabar, it's got to be Brook Red. Brook Red is supposed to be a pollinator for Pembina, but when I planted both varieties about 15 years ago, it turned out that the Brook Red was mislabelled, and whatever variety it was turned out to be a poor pollinator for Pembina. (I cut down the fake Brook Red.) Fruiting was minimal until I grafted on a branch or two of "Perfection" plum, which has plums that are very similar to Pembina. Once the graft started blooming I went from maybe 5 fruits per year to well over 200, last year must have been close to 500. So definitely use a pollinator, and Brook Red should do it if you got a real Brook Red. If you don't want to grow two trees, consider grafting a few branches to put two varieties on one tree.
Like granolabar says, sour cherries are self-fruitful, you only need one plant.
I have no idea how good of a pollinator Cistena Sandcherry makes, but I know, at least on my plant, it definitely doesn't produce a lot of blossoms.
The entire what pollinates with what in the cherry/plum/pitted fruit family confuses me. Is there any reason why nurseries don't just do a multiple variety grafted plum tree, with a few varieties on one tree that can cross-pollinate each other? I've always wanted a plum tree but probably don't have room for one, never mind two. I suppose the graft unions, if you graft multiple varieties onto one tree, freeze out in a cold winter?
I don't know about grafting plums, but my Dad has been grafting apple trees for years here in the chinook belt. He rarely loses a graft once it is a couple of years old. Dad's an apple rustler - if he sees an interesting looking apple tree, he snitches a couple of pieces and grafts them on once he gets home. In fall and spring the trees look really neat - two or three colors of blossoms or fruit on one tree.

Xiaomi's new Yi Sports Camera is equipped with a Sony sensor and can take 1080p video under 40 metres of water -- and is available for only $64.
Solid State Drives - SSDs - are a product of convenience, not good architecture. Storage systems need to be re-architected to achieve the highest performance of NAND flash and, soon, byte-addressable non-volatile memory. Here's an example.
Samsung has announced that it has begun production of its new Universal Flash Storage chips, which the company claims have a random reading speed up to 28 times faster than external memory cards.
Sony's Amy Pascal has resigned as co-chair of the company following a disastrous cyberattack which cost the company dearly both financially and in reputation.
Today's smartphones and tablets offer computing power, memory and storage that surpass that offered by mainframe computers in the 1990s. But security remains an ongoing challenge.
Storage companies best known for providing memory cards for smartphones and cameras are increasingly using their scale and knowhow to come to a data center near you.
The pace of change continues to accelerate as Big Data, IoT and video create growing demand. New technologies are emerging while cloud storage erodes traditional business models.
Toshiba says its new NAND flash products are 26 percent smaller than previous generations.
RMIT University researchers have developed new nanoscale data storage technology that mimics the human brain, and could see ultra-fast electronic memory devices reduced in size to just a few nanometres thick.
The firm launches a flash storage array that introduces a data services software suite aimed at replicating a wider range of the capabilities found in spinning disc storage arrays.
The R&D guys at Sony announced a real breakthrough: Nanotech that enables uniform crystalline orientation on tape - and ultra-high density. Will it save tape?
ABN AMRO is relocating its data center from its current office premises to an external location to comply with security requirements, and will take the chance to upgrade its network infrastructure for fully native connectivity.
With two high-performance memory modules onboard, this implementation of LSI's popular MegaRAID HBA uses flash to cache frequently accessed data, boosting storage performance without the upheaval or cost of switching from magnetic disk to SSD.
Optical discs have been left behind by the rapid growth in storage requirements, but Archival Discs may get Sony and Panasonic back in the game with 300GB discs next year and 1TB on the way.
Personal cloud services, portable storage devices, and email are a company's worst enemies. Malware is much less of a problem than once thought.
At CES this week 4k video is everywhere, not unlike 3-D video two years ago. But 4K is different: supply creates its own demand. The implications for storage are enormous.
Compressed memory is the only major storage feature in OS 10.9 Mavericks. Here's what it is and how well it works.
In-memory databases are hot, but tiered storage may be our cooler destination.
Violin has launched its Maestro Memory Services Software Suite and storage appliances in a bid to enter more data centers.

CAMERON (February 5, 2014) Cameron police are investigating a break-in on Jan 26 that resulted in the theft of several thousand dollars' worth of high school baseball gear from a storage building.
The gear was stolen from a building at the City of Cameron Baseball Complex, on North Fannin Road that is assigned to the school district for storage of equipment, Police Chief Randy Dixon said.
The building showed no signs of forced entry, Dixon said.
Dixon said one person is being investigated for receiving stolen property, but said the person isn't believed to have been involved in the theft in which batting helmets, bats, and other baseball equipment worth a total of about $5,000 were taken.
Several thousand dollars' worth of the stolen equipment has since been recovered and returned to the high school, Dixon said.
Investigators are asking anyone with information about the theft to contact Cameron police at (254) 697-6574.

OMG. That's Paleo?
Posted January 4, 2014
If there¿s anything I know, it¿s a Paleo cookbook. I like readin
If there's anything I know, it's a Paleo cookbook. I like reading cookbooks like any book at first,Was this review helpful? Yes NoThank you for your feedback. Report this reviewThank you, this review has been flagged.
cover to cover. I tag the pages and dream about what I want to make, then I go back with another
post-it flag and tag what I can realistically make based on grocery prices. Juli's first foray into the
paleo cookbook world is charming. Her energy is high and the laughs are abundant.
If you're a regular follower of her website, most of these recipes may not seem that new, which is
a bummer. Having said that, there are still tasty recipes to try. I actually stopped writing this review
midway, made her waffles, then continued. Compared to other paleo cookbooks, I wish there were
more photos and I wish the existing photos were of a higher quality. Juli acknowledges this in her
intro and says she isn't a photographer, maybe not even a cook, so I definitely don't fault the girl!
I can't wait until her new cookbook comes out, which she is co-writing with another Paleo blog
celebrity, Civilized Caveman, George Bryant. I have a feeling that cookbook will blow us all away.
The best quote of the cookbook has to be: "The dimples on my ass increase when the jar of
almond butter disappears. It's just plain fact."

I have a Freecom DVB-T stick that worked well with my old Win XP laptop, but now won't work with my Win 7 64 bit laptop.
I emailed Freecom and they have said that I can download the Vista drivers and it should work.
My question is that will Vista drivers work on a Win 7 laptop? I don't want to download them and cause a problem for my laptop.

1. Field of the Invention
This invention belongs to the family of training apparatus, more precisely the ones for music instruments with keyboards, such as a piano, a synthesizer, a harpsichord or an organ.
2. Description of the Prior Art
Some patents have drawn our attention:
U.S. Pat. No. 5,753,840, De Albuquerque, May 19, 1998 is a support for the arms and hands of a user of a keyboard, for drawing, or for knitting. It can slide horizontally along a frame and swivel. But it does not allow for quick vertical movements of the hands. A pianist does not have the freedom necessary to interpret a musical piece.
U.S. Pat. No. 5,465,931, Macdouald, Nov. 14, 1995 has a mechanism for relieving stress on the hands of a person operating a computer keyboard. It comprises an adjustable support bar fixed on both sides of a sliding panel on which rests the keyboard. The support bar is in the same plane as two horizontal arms but does not comprise two vertical arms, nor a double adjustment pivot that would allow the removal of the bar. This apparatus cannot support the keyboard of a piano nor be installed under one without modifications.
U.S. Pat. No. 5,158,256, Gross, Oct. 27, 1992 illustrates a pad support for each wrist of a keyboard operator. Two pads slide along the keyboard. The support is constant but is not applicable to a technique where the user only touches the bar lightly.
The first objective of this invention is to provide a training bar that helps a pianist take a good posture while playing. To help beginners to always keep the same rectilinear posture guided by the bar. To reduce the tension on the fingers caused by the superior members, by providing a base on which the wrists are placed, thus avoiding tendinitis. An apparatus which is to help building the muscular strength of the fingers, by alternating the support of the wrists on the bar with the non-support, that is the weight of the arms on the fingers. A bar which can be adjusted to different users, giving them a distant position, allowing them to play longer and more quickly with a better control of their fingers, without getting tired. A bar which is to serve as a guide for the blind.
Another objective is to provide a bar made of smooth wood or any to other smooth material, mounted to the ends of a keyboard, a bar which is to comprise means of adjusting the bar vertically and horizontally, means for locking it at the desired position, under a keyboard support structure, and a fast system that allows lowering or adjusting the bar by one stroke of a handle.
Another objective is to develop a method for beginners and pianists at any level. A method which may comprise a series of exercises to do with the training bar.
The present invention will be further understood from the following description with reference to the drawings in which:
FIG. 1 is a perspective of the training bar, mounted under the keyboard of a piano (in dotted lines).
FIG. 2 is a front view of the bar of FIG. 1.
FIG. 3 is a top view of the bar according to line 3�3 of FIG. 2.
FIG. 4 is an enlarged section, according to line 4�4 of FIG. 2, in reverse.
FIG. 5 is an enlarged section, according to line 5�5 of FIG. 2. in reverse
FIG. 6 is an enlarged section, according to arrow 6 of FIG. 5.
FIG. 7A is an assembly drawing of an alternative
FIG. 7B is an assembly drawving, of another alternative
FIG. 8 is a perspective of a bar being assembled
FIG. 9 is a vertical cut view in assembly position.
The preferred embodiment of the invention is illustrated in the drawings wherein the same numbers identify the same characterising elements.
FIG. 1 illustrates a keyboard 20, in dotted line, being supported by a table 22 of an instrument, also in dotted lines, equipped with a training bar 24. A smooth bar 26, preferably well polished, on which a player rests his wrist, can be adjusted by a vertical support 28, perpendicular to the bar 26 and allows to lower or lift the smooth bar, according to the height required by the player. The distance between the smooth bar 26 and the keyboard 20 can be adjusted by a horizontal support 30. A U-shaped fixation tube 32, located linder the table 22, has two arms 33 that hold and position the horizontal support 30. The fixing tube 32 is held by and rotates in fasteners 34 fixed in place by fixing screws 35. The location of the fasteners 34 may vary according to the type of piano. The horizontal support 30 slides in the tubular arms 33. A lever rod 36 for adjusting the inclination is fixed perpendicularly to the fixing tube 32 and moved by a knob 38, located under the table 22, in cantilever with the fixation tube 32. The knob 38 is operated by a handle 39 and comprises an inclined plane 37 that pushes the lever rod up to a fixed ring 40 also attached to the table 22. When the lever rod moves up, it rotates the tube 32 and thus brings the arms 33 close to the face of the table. The lever rod is shorter than the tube 33, so when the arms touch the table 22 there is a space between the table and the lever rod. If the inclined plane moved by the handle 39 keeps applying pressure against the lever rod, the lever rod will rotate and twist the tube shaft and will create a certain rigidity of the elasticity at the contact with the smooth bar 26. A pair of support rings 42 are installed around the fixation tube 32 and close to the lever rod to insure that the tube 32 is at the same distance from the table 22 on all its length Positioning rings 43, resting against both sides of each fastener 34 keep the tube 32 from moving sideways. The smooth bar 26 should be made of polished wood or any other smooth material to allow the wrists of the player to slide easily on the smooth bar 26.
FIG. 2 shows the bar 26, alongside the keyboard 20. The vertical supports 28 and the fasteners 34 are located at each end of the smooth bar 26. The fasteners 34 can be fixed at the desired position under the table 22. The positioning rings 43 are fixed at the ends of tube 32 without stopping it from rotating. The support rings 42 are mounted around the tube 32, close to the lever 36. The support rings 42 are in contact with the underside of the table 22. They are preferably made of rubber.
FIG. 3 shows the training bar 24 without the instrument. The horizontal support 30 can be adjusted and may slide inside the arm 33 of the tube 32. The entry level is set by a key 44. There is a handle 45 at the end of the horizontal support 30.
FIG. 4 illustrates the adjustment of the inclination of the smooth bar 26. When the knob 38 is turned, the inclined plane 37�rotating in the direction shown by the arrow�brings the lever 36 up to the fixed ring 40. The fastener 34 comprises two parts covering the tube 32, namely a lower part 46 and an upper part 47, attached under the table and surrounding the tube 32. The screws 35 keep the interior and superior parts in contact and fixed to the table. The lever 36, resting on the inclined plane 37 of the knob 38 follows and drags the tube 32 and its arms 33 holding the horizontal support 30.
FIG. 5 illustrates the adjustment system of the smooth bar 26. The horizontal supports 30 come out of the arms 33 of the tube 32 and end in a female joint 50 where they meet the vertical support 28. A sliding groove, identified as an aperture 52 is cut lengthwise in the vertical support 28. A pivot screw 54, passing trough the female joint 50 and the aperture 52, allows adjusting the height of the bar with the handle 45. This also allows to change the angle 53 of the vertical support 28 and thus to change its position. With an adjustment of the tightening of the pivot screw 54 with the handle 45, the angle of the smooth bar 26 can be changed by hand, without touching the handle 45. The vertical support 28 has a wide part that enters the smooth bar 26 in a tenon 58 and held by a screw 60. There is a hollow 56 at the end of the vertical support 28 close to the joint 50.
FIG. 6 shows an enlarged view of the adjustment system of the bar. The female joint 50 has two grooves: a lower groove 64 and an upper groove 66. The lower groove 64 allows bringing the bar back at an angle of −350� when the vertical support 28 is pulled to the end 68 of the aperture 52 to allow rotating the bar backward and as far as under the table 22, in a stored position 62, shown in dotted line. When the vertical support 28 is not at the end 68 of the aperture 52, the back 57 of the support 28 rests against the lower groove 64, at an angle of −150�. The back 57 may also rest against the upper groove 66 at an angle, shown as approximately 70� in the drawing but its value depends on the slope of the upper groove 66.
FIG. 7A illustrates a system to fix the training bar 24. This is useful for a temporary use of the training bar 24 on an instrument 22. This system require two legs that support the training bar 24. A non-skid piece of rubber 80 is glued in the upper part 47 of the fasteners 34 (FIG. 1) and keeps them in position under the table 22. Each support leg comprises a foot 82 that that receives an adjustable post 84. The foot 82 is circular and a ring 86 is screwed in its center. The ring 86 has an opening 88 which corresponds to a series of holes 90 disposed spirally in the lower end 92 of the post 84. A pin 94 passes thought the opening 88 and enters in the corresponding hole 90, holding the post 84 in place in the ring 86. An adjustment screw, having female threads, overhangs the post 84. The adjustment screw has a grip 96 that permits to vary the length of the post 84 and consequently the height of the leg according to the height of the table 22. In the case of one of the feet, the handle top 98 of the post 84 slides in the fastener 34. The other leg is adapted to receive the handle end 99. The tube 32 is mounted as in FIG. 4. The difference is that the lower and upper parts 46 and 47 comprise a depression 73 that receives the end of the handle 99. The adjustment knob 38 moves between a lower stop 74 and an upper stop 75, located on an upper face 77. One also sees a thin pipe 78 comprising a block 81 and a pipe end 79. The height of the thin pipe 78 is similar to the thickness of the knob so that, when the thin pipe 78 is inserted through the knob, the pipe end 79 coincides with the upper face 77. The handle top 98 slides through the thin pipe 78 until the end of the handle end 99 is in the depression 73. This depression should not be too deep, so as to allow looseness, to permit the handle 39 turning to engage an added part 71 of the lever 36.
FIG. 7B shows an alternative of the system that fixes the training bar 24 to the table 22. This system allows the user to easily take the training bar 24 off to mount it on another instrument. The upper part 47 of the fastener 34 is fixed under the table 22 by six fixing screws 35. The lower part 46 is fixed on the upper part 47 by four Allen type screws. The tube 32 goes through the fastener 34 via a channel 70. A bolt 72 slides thought a hole in the fastener then through the knob 38, the pipe end and beyond the block 81. �FIG. 7A�A nut 76 is screwed on the bolt, under the knob to hold it in position. To take the training bar 24 off, one only has to unscrew the nut 76 and the four screws of the lower part 46 to free the tube 32.
FIG. 8 shows smooth bar 26 in perspective and localised in assembly mode in front of the tenon 58 of the widened part 48 of the vertical support 28. One notice the support screw 60 passes by through a prolonged support 126 fixed in prolongation to the vertical support 28. There is a modification of the vertical support such that, in the area close to the bar end 163 it harmonises itself with the forms of the bar. One sees a tightening screw 135 fixing the prolonged support 126 in the tenon 58 of the vertical support 28 by the intermediary of a threaded eye 149. A well 155 is used to camouflage the head of the tightening screw 135. One can add a decorative disc 127, which is used as finishing. One sees also a screw opening 160 in which the support screw 60 beam passes the part tenon 58. The screw opening 160 is horizontally widened form making it possible smooth bar 26 to have displacements in distance of the keyboard, independent on each side, the angles of variable displacement according to the eccentricity of the widened screw opening. One sees a localised end opening 161 in the center of the bar end 163″.
FIG. 9 shows a cut viewing the end opening 161 which forms a hollow section where comes to place a screw receiver 165 in which comes to fit the support screw 60 to gather smooth bar 26 with the prolonged support 126. In operation when one loosens the support screw 60 on the left side as on the right side of the bar, using ears forming the screw head 167, one allows smooth bar 26 to rotate to position forms, for example flattened or heart-shaped adjusted at a comfortable angle with the keyboard. Once in the selected position one tightens the support screw 60 to maintain in place smooth bar 26.
The bar 26 is mounted on each side on the keyboard 20 and the distance and height between the bar and the keyboard can be varied to accommodate any player.
The training bar 24 helps, in an innovative way, the development of the musical technique of a player. Use of the training bar 24 helps the player take a good posture while playing, that is the back of the hand, of the wrist and the forearm forming a horizontal line and the elbow being close to the body. To take that position, one only has to place the smooth bar 26 under the wrist 36, in a way that each wrist is not raised nor lowered. A good posture must be held when moving along the keyboard.
The frequent use of the training bar 24 fixes permanently in the corporal memory a good posture so it becomes so natural to the player that he carries it in the absence of the training bar 24. Use of the trainings bar 24 also eliminates the tension on the fingers caused by the weight of the arms. With the training bar, the player is free to exercise his fingers without supporting the weight of his arms. It is only a matter of placing his wrists on the bar, at the place where it provides the desired posture. This is a good way to avoid tendinitis, a problem that all players tend to develop. It is also a great guide for the blind. The training bar 24 also helps develop the endurance and the muscular strength of the fingers, by carrying the weight of the arms. One has to support, over the smooth bar 26, the weight of the arms and shoulders using only with one or two fingers. The great maneuverability of the training bar 24 offers many possibilities that can fulfill a player's needs during various technical exercises. This is why the bar can be positioned anywhere under and over the forearms, from the elbows to the hands and higher or lower than the afore described positions, to adapt itself to each exercise. For example, one could lift the bar to place it over the hands of the player so it limits his movement when doing staccatos.
To summarise, the present invention is a training bar 24 used when doing exercises on a piano. It serves as support for the wrists and as a reference for movements of the hands along a keyboard 20. The bar comprises a smooth bar 26 that can be adjusted horizontally and vertically, fixed to a table 22 structure supporting the keyboard, and placed in relation to and parallel to the keyboard. Two vertical supports 28 are mounted at the ends of the bar. The vertical supports form parallel arms, placed perpendicularly to the smooth bar 26. A handle 39 is used to pivot a U-shaped fixing tube 32 under the keyboard. The tube 32 has two extensions each sliding in a vertical support 28 through a female joint 50. This permits a rotary movement that allows positioning the bar, in accordance with the height of the player and the exercise to be done, and also to store it under the keyboard when not used. The tube may be supported by fasteners 34, screwed to the table, or held by two stands, joined by non-screwed fasteners, thus turning the bar into a portable apparatus. In the latter case, the fasteners have teeth to cause friction against the face of the table and to prevent the tube from sliding on the table. The rod 36 may be activated by a pedal, or powered by mechanical or electrical energy. The table 22 may comprise a whole structure supporting a keyboard. In the case of a synthesiser, it could be made of plastic or aluminium, for a piano, organ or harpsichord, it might be of wood or steel. A second bar may be installed if used with an instrument having multiple keyboards. Other embodiments are possible and limited only by the scope of the appended claims:

House continues to say 'yes' to energy
As the energy debate continues down the finger pointing path of "we should have," "not going to happen," and "let's write another bill," the ag industry remains in the middle of the pushing and pulling. A middle ground seems almost impossible to reach.

Sony goes into battle with its motion controller for PS3
By Paul Best
June 4, 2009
June 4, 2009 A day after Microsoft took the wraps on its Project Natal motion control system at the E3 expo in Las Vegas, Sony Computer Entertainment has followed suit, showing off its own motion controller prototype for the PlayStation 3. And while the announcements have been popularly characterized as something of a "controller wars", they're really a signpost pointing the way gaming has been heading since Nintendo stole the show with its Wii motion-sensing game console in 2006 – the need to capture the hearts and minds of the growing gaming audience, especially the moms, dads and similar less hardcore gamers.
Sony showed off its wand-like controller during the launch of its new gaming titles for 2009 at E3. A glowing knob on the end of the wireless controller is used by the PlayStation Eye camera to track – within 7mm accuracy – the position and movement of the controller, which enables players to play and interact with items on the TV screen.
The controller also incorporates buttons that transform the controller into a virtual weapon. During the E3 demo, the wand was used as a sword, gun and bow and arrow. According to Sony, the emphasis has been on trying to produce a controller that mimics real-life experiences.
At the moment, it's too early to say when the controller will be available commercially.

Help! Wasps Attacking Feeder and Chasing Hummers!
I have a hummingbird planter and feeder on my porch and the wasps are at it like crazy! I thought I had one or two and I killed two yesterday, but this morning there were three. They even chased a baby hummingbird away! I have taken the feeder down so the hummingbirds won't get hurt. I have tried everything! I sprayed soapy water on them, but it washed the color off of my red super bells in the planter. I tried spraying them with water too! Here is a picture of the feeder, but I painted the flower red on mine. Please help.
Thanks in advance, Eric
The feeder is probably leaking, or is allowing the wasps to feed on the nectar. You will probably not going to be able to stop them as long as they can access the food. I would consider replacing it with a newer feeder. Newer models such as a Hummzinger, perky Pet and so are engineered to be bee and wasp proof. They may go to it at first, but when they can't get nectar they quickly give up.
Here is a link that might be useful: Feeders

The Little Black Booth
Matthew Kemmetmueller took the reigns of The Little Black Booth in 2010, but the roots of the business go much deeper down than that. Matthew's father founded the studio in 1972, long before the invention of digital photography and when the term "camera-phone" just meant a rotary phone on a tripod. In June of 2013, Matthew was named Member of the Month at Wedding & Portrait Photography International, and his business has expanded beyond family portraits, sports shots, and senior photos to include photography and technical workshops.
"People were great, had lots of fun, and my photos were of great quality."
"Elle did an amazing job, I never expected the pictures to be as great as they turned out!! Just amazing! :)"
"Great experience, Loved the photos!!"

Airing as his trial begins, FRONTLINE follows the intersecting lives of twenty-two-year-old antiabortionist, John Salvi III, charged with murder in the armed attacks on two Massachusetts health clinics, and his victims, Shannon Lowney and Leanne Nichols. Through in-depth, personal interviews with family members and friends, clinic employees, police, Pro-Life and Pro-Choice protesters, witnesses, and religious leader Cardinal Bernard Law of Boston, the film draws a portrait of what led to Salvi's brutal acts of violence. From the producers of 'Romeo and Juliet in Sarajevo,' this two-hour program crosses the emotionally charged terrain of the abortion battle.

Yes the two codes you wrote ss19 or aw01 I still can't find the coat online using these, as for bring gifted the item I am a builder and ur was given to me as a sweetener along with a Armani trench coat it will be something I will be selling as unfortunately you can't pay bills with swagger
is this becoming a trend? people coming here to figure out how much they should ask US for something. Hutch, go fist yourself
Have been seeing some tags or news of what looks like a new line called "GOTHIC Yohji Yamamoto", there has been a section reserved on the official website with a "Coming Soon" notice for quite a while now and it appears that we will (hopefully) be seeing these in just a few hours.
Photos from Facebook Yohjifreak page and Tadashi Kubo of the YYPH team.
Not sure how I feel about this, I love it when Yohji does "In your face" type of things (Hakamas, Graphics, Prints, etc.) but I don't really associate his work to "Gothic" subculture (Other than his use of black) or something really dark which is what this somewhat reminds me of. There has always been a witty twist or a subtle wink - this looks a bit too "serious" for me.
But what am I saying, these are only small details so I shouldn't be too quick to assume. I guess I'm just really curious and excited for it.
Edited by TroubIe - 1/16/14 at 7:38am
Regarding the Gothic line (sub-line?) - when I was last in Conduit St, early December, items with the Gothic tag were mixed in with the mainline on the racks. Only noticed one or two long sleeved tees and basically glanced over them - but the initial impression was not good. They didn't look like the snapshots in the pictures above though, and all caps GOTHIC branding was a heavy feature.
I can only imagine that they're going for something deliberately tacky - a mix of high- and low-end, which on first impressions looks like a misfire.
Maybe the first delivery isn't indicative of what's to come - and perhaps AW14 will shed further light on the intended direction.

I cannot say enough about the care Cassie received
I wanted to take this opportunity to thank you all for being so professional and caring each time I was there with Cassie.
I cannot say enough about the care that Cassie has gotten along the way for the six years I've had her. The staff is unbelievable. It is really something that everyone works together as a team. These days sometimes people aren't like that in a workplace. Everyone is upbeat, happy, joking around but at the same time working.
I really appreciated getting to know the people that I have known along the way. Dr. Sam's been wonderful, and I felt bad for Dr. Rousseau the last night that I came in with Cassie. Dr. Sam was in surgery, but he rose to the occasion.
Everyone was always so helpful and always pleasant and compassionate. Special thanks to Denise, Kaytee, Elizabeth, Christie, Tegan, Melody, Amanda C., Anne, and everyone else. I just really can't say enough about everybody. It's been a very great experience. You are a great team and I have enjoyed getting to know all of you.
I feel Cassie got the best care, and I couldn't have asked for more. Cassie brought a lot of joy to my family, and she is missed.

It's a little simple. It's like a one sound kind of deal going on here. I feel like good ambient music creates a mood via lush soundscapes. I would love to see more textures and sounds in here, as it stands now it's just kind of plain. But it's not awful. What is here is okay, it's just kind of bare.
