Hi all, I've been doing some research on hardy fruit trees.
I've narrowed my ideas down to a few varieties of apples, pear, and cherries I'm considering. I'm in zone four in the rocky mountains of Idaho. It is my understanding that while some fruit trees may survive and grow in very cold winter conditions, they still may bear fruit sporadically due to cold snaps in the spring (killing the flower/fruiting bud when the tree is setting fruit). I'm here to ask if people in very cold climates have had good luck with any particular fruit trees. Perhaps some varieties of fruit trees flower later and thus are less susceptible to frosts in the spring. I'm thinking that perhaps my best bet is to try and grow a sour pie cherry tree like a Bali, or Montmorecy. Also considering these pear varieties - Ure, Summer, and Nova. Apples on my short list include:
Does anyone out there have success growing productive fruit trees (trees that bear fruit most seasons) in zone 4 (or even zone 3)? Thanks, would love to hear about how others are doing growing fruit trees in very cold climates. ps - I've posted this same inquiry on Gardenweb's "Rocky Mountain" forum as well. thnx |

Yes, Evans sour cherry should do OK...it might be the Bail? Pears is fine but it will be many years before you see fruits, for me the Golden Spice, does best, you can try Ure, Summer crisp..there are some others. The apples you have chosen look fine, Norland is still one of the best early apple, doesn't store long. The Norkent is my best later apple and Then you might want Nanking cherry, Saskatoon berries. Western sand cherry and choke cherry for wine and jelly. Norkent September Ruby or Ruby Red .. Trailman crab apple |

There are certainly a wealth of good apples you can consistently crop in zone 4. Take some time grazing through the fedco trees catalog or Stlawrence nurseries. Cherries are going to be hit or miss depending on your spring weather/frosts...the same would be true for the hybrid plums or the hardy apricots... There are a number of good pears as well, but Konrad is right about needing to wait for them..at least on seedling rootstock, some of the OhXF rootstocks are supposed to be more precocious. |
Evans (Bali) would be a good cherry to try. Early Richmond would be good too. Northstar suffered some winter damage last year for me. All the cherries I have bloom about the same time, early May. Early Richmond ripens in late June/Early July, Evans in August. With Evans, they start turning red in late July while small and mostly pit. Leave them on the tree for several weeks while red and they will flesh up and become very large and juicy, making a very tasty cherry. Evans has been highly productive for me as long as I net it. Yellow Transparent apples are also very hardy and bloom late yet ripen early. Whitney crab has also proven to be a very hardy apple that is quite good and large enough to eat. |
You all rock!!! Thank you so much for this great information. Konrad's photos are beautiful and really have me inspired to get some fruit trees planted asap. Appreciate pear info on years to bearing fruit and every bit of the advice tendered. I'm writing everything down so that I can go do more searching at St. lawerence nursery's online catalog (kind of a slow website to surf around on, but really interesting) (Perhaps the following is a topic for another forum posting, but I'll throw it out there anyway) I have limited space so am considering options for how far apart to plant my trees. I understand some people plant apples quite close together when space is tight. I believe ST. L Nursery suggests upwards of 25' on-center spacing for a row of apple trees. I have seen info on web about planting trees much closer together, or using espaileir(SP?) techniques. Anyone have any advice on how close together I may want to push it, or thoughts on espailiering apples or other fruit trees? (Come to think of it, I'd say "keeping it simple" is a good thing for me to keep in mind, but maybe training trees into espaileired forms isn't so demanding of time compared to more traditional fruit tree culture.) |
I do not know how Konrad does it. For the size of those trees they are just loaded with fruit. There seems to be more fruit than leaves, wish I knew his secret. |
Great review here and good choices. Our best lasting tree has been September Ruby and the best apple as far as I am concerned is Norkent. Sadly it did not last here but I am not a keen enough grower to give it the best conditions. You will want to look into Edible Blue Honeysuckle for jam. jelly and as a food color for juice that needs more depth. They will make wine too. Another hardy berry for jam is Josta. Although it can be a little wild. |

St. Lawrence Nurseries in the far north of New York State has a good selection of very cold-hardy fruit trees and an excellent reputation. |
Evans cherry is called Bali in the US. I'm in zone 3a and it has done ok for me, but suffers in a harsh winter. Please note that there are six recently released (2004) varieties of sour cherries from the breeding program at the University of Saskatchewan that offer alternatives to Evans, in a bush-cherry form (6-8 feet tall bushes). Not sure if you can find these in the US yet though. I have a Ure pear that I planted 20 years ago and grafted on another variety (forget the cultivar just now) to provide cross-pollination. The tree has never suffered winter damage in zone 3a, and though it took about 8 years to start fruiting, it now rains pears each summer. Personally, I find this annoying, as I only eat a half-dozen or so each year (I find pears don't ripen well on the tree -- they ripen from the inside-out, and are too much bother for me to do the pick, refridgerate 2 weeks, move to a warm place to finish routine), so mostly they fall onto the ground and attract a zillion hornets. That said, the tree is nicely shaped, grows slowly, and is now 15' or more tall, and colours up a reddish-purple in the fall -- beautiful even if it didn't fruit. Carroll apple is wonderful -- like a Macintosh -- but I've had major problems finding a true Carroll at garden centres. I've always ended up with something else, bah. September Ruby is a superb apple, reminiscent of a "Red Delicious" apple, but smaller. It fruits very heavily one year, then very lightly the next. Stores well -- in the crisper they will store until March (although they are pretty soft by then :) I put in a Sept. Ruby 20 years ago and it is still no more than about 12' tall with a 12' spread, so it may solve your space problems because it isn't a big tree. Never had winterkill, even at -40 degrees. |
Konrad, Your orchard pictures are an inspiration. It must be regenerative to your spirit to spend time in such a beautiful orchard. Thank for posting the photos. |

Some of you will be surprised by this... but what about apricot? That is one tough tree, taking lots of cold (especially certain varieties such as Manchurian) and drought, and though it does flower very early, making it unreliable in many parts of the country, the blossoms freeze out only if you get lots of warm weather followed by a late spring freeze. I've noticed apricot crops in the mountains of Northern NM in years when everywhere else they failed, due to a later bloom in the mountains (I've noticed the same thing with apples too). So, eatsivy, if you get gradual warming in your cold mountain location, you may have more to choose from. |
Manchurian apricot eh? Very interesting. Do you grow this f_native? Are you in a cold zone/in the mountains? thanks, Chris |

If you are considering apricot in colder climate, you may consider the varieties Scout and Morden 604. Both Scout and Morden 604 are mentioned good for Zine 3. Both fruited for me the first time in Zone 5 having planted one in 2008 and the other in 2009 (bought from nurseries). However, in other colder zones the fruiting may not be on very regular basis. |

Thanks Konrad far north, for the pics and the evidence that apricot can be successful that far north! Yes, eatsivy I do have a few apricot trees (mostly still young), and no, I don't live in a COLD mountain zone, but rather a WARMer one (7,000 feet elevation in north central NM). Unfortunately we almost always get lots of warm weather here before spring has really arrived. The apricot trees end up flowering late March/early April, and often don't set a crop, since our average last frost date is early May. But there's nothing quite like a good tree-ripened apricot, I think. |

You shouldn't have any problem growing apples, pears, sour cherries, and maybe blueberries. If you don't mind seeds in your grapes there are really lovely grapes that can take 20-30 below. Apricot trees are very cold hardy, but the blossoms aren't, and they bloom early. I get fruit in zone 5, but I work for it. For apples, most of the early apples aren't that great. The really late ones will ripen too late for you, so look for mid-season varieties. I've got a Gravenstein apple that is very early and tastes wonderful, but the window to pick is about 6 hours and they don't store more than 2 weeks. They are tasty and make the very best dried apples. Gotta tell you, early fruit is always welcome around here, so I check the tree a couple of times a day to try to get the apples when they are ready. |
Thnx ORwoodsmoke - helpful tips and advice. |
Amazingly, apricot trees are fairly common in my area despite not being reliable fruiters. If you get a couple cold hardy ones, they provide refreshing early bloom to signal the arrival of spring and more flowers to come. My experience lately has been that with a fairly long bloom period (Moongold is one), I will get a few fruit most every year, but every several years you hit the sweet spot weather wise and get a bumper crop. I think the reward of getting a few exquisitely tasting fruit most years overcomes all the letdown from the years you get nothing. Hope springs eternal! |

Hello all, I've been trying to get fruit trees to produce here in White Mtns. of eastern Arizona at 7000 ft. elevation. We have high winds 70-90 mph in April and May with last frost as late as June 15th. In eight years, only had exactly 6 cherries on a Mortorency tree four years ago. Have one each of Stella, Black Tartarian, and Mortmorency. Very few bees here, so have been thinking about starting a couple of beehives to help with pollenation. Everyone around here battles wind and late frosts characteristic of our short growing season. |
- Posted by fabaceae_native (My Page) on Thu, Mar 10, 11 at 8:23
Yeah, sounds like a rough climate Virgil. I'm at roughly the same elevation but our average last frost date is 4 to 6 weeks earlier than yours and winds that bad are almost unheard of, thankfully. I've got three hives with bees, for fun, pollination, and of course, honey. I'm sure you've got lots of wildflowers in spring and with the monsoon to make bees very happy. I remember seeing loads of fernbush on the eastern approach to Flagstaff... a phenomenal native honey plant with an incredibly long bloom season! My bees are always out in February ready to find the first flowers (usually silver maples in people's yards, followed by the non-native elms). Keeping bees really teaches you alot... |
- Posted by konrad___far_north 3..just outside of E (My Page) on Fri, Mar 11, 11 at 2:13
Ultra, you should try the Evans cherry, a good self fertile cherry, as all sour cherries are, perhaps some are better then others. I put in a couple of hives some years go,.. haven't seen any difference in pollination,.. we must have still allot of native bees. Here, bees don't find anything till mid April or so, but that's OK, we still pull in more honey per hive here in Alberta then the US. |

Does anyone know when is the best time to plant rose bushes? It is still snowing here in Utah, so I guess we will wait until it starts warming up. |
I would like to plant apple and pear trees in my zone 3-4 yard. I was thinking about planting Haralred or Haralson apples but after looking at Konrads pics of Norkent and Sept. Ruby I may change my mind. A few questions about Norkent & Sept. Ruby trees-when do they bloom? Are they mid to late blooming trees? Where can I purchase them along with a trailman crabapple tree. Pear trees -can you use 2 Golden spice pear trees for pollination? I've been thinking about planting 1 golden spice and 1 ure pear tree. Any suggestions? Thanks for posting pics. I'm really excited about planting fruit trees this spring! |
Hello, great to see such wonderful photos of fruit being grown outside Edmonton! I'm in St. Jerome, QC and I have: Apples: Priscilla and Reine de Reinette Pears: Flemish Beauty and Luscious Plums: Mount Royal and just bought a Mirabelle Cherries: Carmine Jewel, Romeo and Crimson Passion. The Carmine Jewel has been absolutely brilliant for me here. Apricot: Just got a Morden 604, we'll see how much fruit I get. Saskatoons: Smokey and Thiessen I have a whole bunch of berries as well and hardy kiwis, plus a fig and a lime tree. And an unknown peach experiment! Oh and I'm about to plant some elderberries, I just can't get enough elderberry flower cordial! Would definitely recommend the U of Sask cherries, they are tough and good producers and have more of a bush habit making it easier to harvest. There should be many apples that will work for you. You might want to consider plums too, there are some very hardy hybrids available, as well as chums. Most of my trees are quite young, had a few fruit on them last year, plums and apples (Mont Royal and Priscilla) were delicious, hoping for an even better harvest this year but bee activity seems way down. Even tried hand pollinisation just to try and compensate. Good luck and don't be afraid to experiment. I have lost some trees and plants, but as someone recently reminded me, if you don't try you'll never know! |
I live in zone 4 Idaho as well and I've had great luck with Honey Crisp and Macintosh apples but I have to leave the Macs on until mid November to develop good flavor. I know a guy nearby who grows Cortland, I bought some from him a few years ago and they were fantastic. I still think Honey Crisp is my fav though. I planted a Lapins Cherry and got a fair amount fruit from it in it's 3rd and 4th years, 2010 and 2011 but not 2012, the cool spring kept the bees away. I'm looking for a good cold hardy apricot, I don't really care it produces a lot of fruit every year, every couple of years would be great, I'll just try to make enough freezer jam to get me by :) |

Make a bug box for insects and give nature a helping hand within your garden. Using easy-to-find scraps of timber, old bamboo canes and old branches, it will cost you very little and provide the perfect habitat for beneficial insects such as spiders, ladybirds, lacewings and bees.
Make a simple box using scraps of untreated timber approximately 2cm thick. You will need four pieces of wood of equal length for the sides and one square piece for the back. Nail them together, leaving the front end open.
Cut hollow canes such as bamboo into short lengths to fit in your bug box. You could also drill holes in pieces of wood or branch, making your holes different sizes to suit different insects.
Fit the canes and wood into your box. Insects aren't fussy so you can make your box as rough and ready as you like.
Drill a hole into the back of your box and fix it on to a fence or arch using the self-tapping screw.
Place the bug box in a sheltered spot in your garden, but don't hide it too well or the insects won't find it.

Updating a classic
In 1997, test and measurement leader Tektronix asked us to migrate its venerable Tektronix Test and Measurement print catalog into a digital content management system. We had managed the design and production of this 700-page print catalog for the prior 20 years, so we were the best team for the job.
Our big idea for Tektronix built on an off-the-shelf software solution paired with a custom-built component. Our solution was tailored to allow Tektronix to efficiently migrate and update content from a single source into print, web, data sheets, CD-ROMs, or other media.
We developed structured web templates based on the needs of the Tek developer audience. This challenge required us to create an identical look and feel across all browsers and platforms. A further evolution of the catalog process included integrating Xtags, which allowed data to be drawn into InDesign where we could preformat 75 percent of each catalog page. The time it took for a designer to touch each page was significantly reduced, allowing us to produce the catalog with greater consistency and speed.
Technology and manufacturing companies, as well as the retail apparel industry, have discovered our catalog specialization and entrusted us with their big catalog projects. We produced a distributor catalog for adidas, completing the project three weeks faster than previous vendors and saving adidas a significant amount of money. Our unique process can be applied to any content-rich catalog.

Rapid Reaction: Penguins 5, Rangers 2
March, 15, 2012
Katie Strang | ESPNNewYork.com
Recap | Box score | Photos
At a glance: With a 5-2 win over the Rangers at Madison Square Garden, the Penguins proved they very well may be the team to beat in the East.
Pittsburgh dominated New York in Sidney Crosby's big comeback to keep their winning streak alive -- a staggering 10 games -- and put the Rangers' Atlantic Division lead in peril. Playing for the first time since Dec. 5, Crosby recorded an assist and finished with a plus-3 rating while linemate Matt Cooke tallied a pair of goals. Penguins defenseman Kris Letang also made a dazzling comeback, posting a plus-5 rating in his first game since Feb. 29.
Crosby's back: After missing 40 straight games, Crosby returned to action, recording an assist on Chris Kunitz's third-period goal for his first point in more than three months. The Pittsburgh captain, booed by fans throughout the game, played primarily between Cooke and Tyler Kennedy and manned the point on the Penguins' vaunted first power-play unit.
Cooke-y Monster: Cooke upstaging Sid the Kid? Crosby's linemate tallied twice for his third multi-goal game of the season to give the Penguins a 3-1 lead before Marian Gaborik's second-period marker that pulled the Rangers within one goal.
Top-line wonder: In the trio's second game together, the Rangers' top line of Carl Hagelin, Brad Richards and Marian Gaborik put together another striking performance, combining for six points. Recording his fourth point in less than four periods, Hagelin tied the game at 1 in the first period. The Swedish rookie swiped at a rebound on a scramble up front at 13:36 for his second goal in as many games.
At 14:32 of the second, Gaborik whittled the Penguins' lead 3-2 at 14:32 of the second with his 35th goal of the season as he and Richards extended their point streak to four games and five games, respectively. The three players combined for nine points in the team's 4-2 win over Carolina Tuesday.
Anisimov hurt: Already without captain Ryan Callahan (foot) and defenseman Michael Del Zotto (hip), the Rangers lost another one of their top-six forwards as Artem Anisimov left the game with an unspecified injury in the second period.
Second straight: With starter Henrik Lundqvist out while still recovering from the flu, goaltender Martin Biron made his second straight start for the first time this season. Chad Johnson was recalled from the AHL's Connecticut Whale to back up Biron.
Up Next: Rangers vs. Avalanche, 7 p.m. Saturday.

I purchased two No Spill gas cans with a lifetime warranty. Because of problems discovered with the nozzles, they reduced the warranty to three years and began using a redesigned nozzle. When I called to have then send me new nozzles, they refused because they changed the warranty from lifetime to three years. My can has the old style nozzle. Is it legal to change a warranty after the sale of a product? One of the reasons I chose this can was the Lifetime Warranty. |

Technically, they haven't broken any law. Rather, the warranty was contractual, and by changing the terms unilaterally, they breached the contract. Your only probable remedy is to sue (small claims), but is it worth it for a $20 gas can. I'm sure they think you won't be bothered. Probably only realistic satisfaction is to bad mouth them (by name) in every relevant forum you can find. |
I have no intensions of sueing anyone. The money is not the issue. Advertising the product as having a lifetime warranty, then taking it way when the product becomes too costly to repair because of a defect, is what bothers me. I'm sure many others made the decision to go with No-Spill based on their warranty. The new three years warranty can easily be changed to a one year warranty if there are any issues with the new design. I just put too much value in thinking the warranty would be honored if there was a defect down the road. That was my mistake. I just never ran into this problem before. I wonder what the response would be if the lifetime warranty on Sears tools was taken away. That is their biggest selling point. |
Remember the 35 cent cup of hot coffee? cranheim you need to get with it. IMO Get you good amblance chasing lawyer and sue for million bucks. then Settle out of court for 200K. after lawyers fees of 199,990K you get about 10 bucks for your trouble. IMO After all we can't have HP rating of lawn mower engine why should we have to cheated out of life time warranty. IMO You got hoodwinked and that my friend is reason to sue in the USA with all the starving lawyers. |
"No-Spill" cans had a recall in 2010. You can do an internet search and check it out. |
- Posted by twelvegauge 8 (My Page) on Mon, Jun 18, 12 at 11:44
The No-Spill cans seem over-priced for plastic construction. For only a little more you can get an Eagle metal can - made in USA. |
Thanks for the sensible responses about the recall and suggesting Eagle cans. I looked and did not find a recall on the NO-Spill cans, and the company did not mention there was one. I have not seen Eagle cans in stores in my area, but I will certainnly look into it. I really did not find the childish response about sueing everyone and everything helpful. I thought I made it clear I never had any thoughs of sueing anyone in my earlier post. I still think the printed warranty, when used as a selling feature, should mean something. There are many companies out there that will honor what they market. |
- Posted by twelvegauge 8 (My Page) on Mon, Jun 18, 12 at 21:52
The recall is at the link below; it applied only to 5-gallon cans made within a specific 2 - 3 month period, and involved leakage from the spout connection. As for Eagle cans, I got mine at Lowe's in Fort Worth, and both Ace Hardware and Amazon carry them. The 5 gallon cans are about $45. |
Here is a link that might be useful: No-Spill recall
Thanks for your input about the recall. I looked at it and found it applied to the 5 gal cans only. The problem was with the can itself, not the spout. I have the 1 1/4 gal cans. It still presents a safety hazzard when the spout leaks due to a crack in the plastic. I tried to fix one of them using JB weld, but that did not work. It was a dumb thing to even try. Gasoline is too dangerous to take chances with. It looks like I will just have to lose the can or buy a new spout because the company dropped the warranty. If a new spout has a problem, I lose again because it is still out of warranty. Again, I thank you for your time and interest. |
I won't fool with these no-spill cans. I just use an old gallon glass wine jug. They're free and they last forvever if you don't drop them. It was good enough for Dad and it's good enough for me. |
When I was a kid, we sometimes bought gasoline or kerosene in glass jars, but it really wasn't a safe thing to do. In my state (and I figure in all states), it is against the law to store or transport flammable liquids in glass containers. It is also illegal for gasoline dealers to let purchasers use glass containers. GLASS CONTAINERS FOR GASOLINE NOT SAFE, NOT SAFE, NOT SAFE. |
"it is against the law to store or transport flammable liquids in glass containers"...That is only because the legislators are in the pocket of the gas can manufacturers. Another gasoline storage tip. Gasoline doesn't go bad as fast if it's kept cool. Personally I store mine in the master bedroom because it is the only room in the house with an air conditioner, but your situation may be different. If you use a wine bottle be sure to mark it so the kids don't think it's wine. Safety first, always. |
I guess many of the "Old Timers" did some stupid things many years ago when using glass bottles to carry small amounts of gasoline was normal. As much as I hate to admit it, I remember going to the local gasoline station on a Cushman Motor Scooter to pick up a gallon of gas in a glass jug for my father's lawn mower. I carried it on the floor between my legs because it would not fit in the small rear compartment. That was over 60 years ago. If anyone did this now, they would probably be arrested for transporting explosives with the intent of being a suicide bomber. |
- Posted by twelvegauge 8 (My Page) on Thu, Jun 21, 12 at 22:25
Hey evdpgh, you shouldn't rely on writing on the wine bottle to warn the kids away from drinking your lawn mower fuel. It would be better to drill this into the kids: SNIFF BEFORE YOU SWIG! And, besides you shouldn't be storing wine in the master bedroom. Charles: In my neck of the woods, any kid that had a Cushman scooter was wishing it was an Eagle - remember those? |
"I remember going to the local gasoline station on a Cushman Motor Scooter to pick up a gallon of gas in a glass jug"...When I was 8 or 9 I used to ride my bike. Tied the jug to the handlebars. Steering and pedaling with a full gallon wine jug swinging around sure helps a kid develop coordination. |
"you shouldn't be storing wine in the master bedroom"...The wife complained about being in the refrigerator. |
I too remember my parents sending me down to the gas station with a glass gallon jug, when I was about 8 or 9 years old, (I didn't have a bike, so I put the jug in my wagon). My Mother gave me a quarter and told me not to lose the change. We had one of the first gasoline powered lawnmowers on the block, and it was a reel mower. Rotary mowers were becoming popular, but my Mother said they weren't safe. Of course, as soon as Dad got bored with this new fangled contraption, the grass cutting was my chore FOREVER. |
I checked at the local "sells anything" store , last week, and found they had a plastic can for sale that didn't have that infernal spout on them. Forgot to get the price. RJ |
Couple of good hoots here about the wine jugs, refrigerators and such. In NJ, not supposed to pump your own gas, but the local country bumpkin gas stations near here don't care what you do. We were down in Cape May last week. In the service station, I had already paid the guy, I took the gas nozzle out of the car and put it back on the pump. The attendant came over and had a fit. "Not supposed to touch that!!" Was in a Hess station a few days ago. The attendant had on a yellow reflective vest. He was wearing this reflective vest to PUMP gas. I mentioned to him that I have never seen that before. He replied "It's the law in NJ". OK, whatever. Must be a new era. |
WOW !!!!!!!!!!!!! I am continually being amazed. I thought that 'pump your own gas' was the norm throughout the United States. Well, I'll be darned. |

Pump your own is the legal in 48 states. Only Oregon and New Jersey prohibit self serve of gasoline, and in New Jersey it is legal to pump diesel fuel. Not sure about Oregon and diesel fuel. |
Just one more reason for me to stay far away from yankee land. |

I once thought that we had to worry only about Uncle Sam becoming Big Brother - you know, the one who helps you across the street and then refuses to let go of your hand. Turns out that Brother comes at all levels, with homeowners associations and local governments, followed by the various states all feeling like it's their duty to protect us from ourselves. But it's THEM we need protection from, not ourselves. |
I'm glad I don't live in new Jersey. They'd probably frown on my glass wine bottles there. |

ev, I would have figured you for a wine-in-a-carton type of guy ... no, on second thought, those cartons probably wouldn't work very good for gasoline. |
I have a 2.5 gallon "no overflow" can from Sears or B&S. Sounds better than it actually works. Won't work with my shredder because the angle required by can is not allowed by some shredder part. Works ok with weed wacker. Mixed results with lawn mower (the most commonly used tool), fine when user is careful, not so when user is using 'normal' care. Plastic by tank flexes and gas spills out. |

Reducing the Cost and Complexity of Information Technology (IT) Asset Management With RFID
Free registration required
Executive Summary
In large enterprises, IT data centers can frequently contain hundreds of thousands of IT assets. But tracking these highly mobile assets can be a daunting task. Servers, hard drives and external media are on the move in and out of the data center for routine maintenance, repairs and upgrading. Backup tapes are on the move into and out of the tape libraries as needed throughout the day. And end user devices such as laptops and handheld mobile computers are on the move inside the four walls - and out in the field. In addition, asset tracking is mandatory - government regulations require enterprises to track IT assets in order to comply with tax laws as well as laws that protect sensitive customer data.

I have a Windbeam purchased some 40 years ago which I dearly love. It is about 8 feet tall in a nice informal shape. One branch has layered and the flowers on this branch are almost white compared to the soft pink on the rest of the shrub. I have a number of other rhodies that have layered and they behave normally. Any thoughts? |
Follow-Up Postings:
It is normal for Windbeam to open a very pale pink and then fade to white. If the layered branch started blooming earlier, it would become white sooner. If they started blooming at the same time and are different colors, then the layered branch is a sport. That does happen and sometimes will revert back in a season or two. |
- Posted by waplummer Z5 NY (email@example.com) on Thu, May 29, 08 at 21:02
It is a sport since it blooms at the same time. This has been going on for 2-3 years. |

Kelly McCarty was International Advocacy Intern at PAI.
Back at my university the semester after my internship, my cohorts in a student civic engagement club agreed, our peers at the university would be very interested in the research being done at PAI. As many of us were seniors, making major decisions regarding our careers, we invited the staff from Population Action International to Elon University. I arranged for PAI to present their documentaries to the entire campus and to visit classes in which the students would be particularly interested in PAI's message.
The tour made an impact that is hard to measure except anecdotally. One young woman, with multiple options for service careers, chose to work for a public health organization working in Haiti. I have chosen to obtain a masters degree in Social Justice and Human Rights and have begun work with an organization fighting for the economic and social empowerment of women in Juarez, Mexico. A student group working on funding a medical center in Ghana has talked about adding a reproductive health component to their work."

Iron Maiden's Bruce Dickinson Secures $8 Million Investment for Aircraft Maintenance Company
Along with acting as the vocalist for one of heavy metal's greatest bands, Iron Maiden's Bruce Dickinson is an accomplished pilot. The man could probably kick some ass in a fighter jet ala 'Aces High,' but Dickinson instead chose to pilot commercial aircrafts, including Maiden's own Flight 666 jet. Dickinson recently started his own aircraft maintenance business, Cardiff Aviation Limited, and the singer has just secured a near $8 million investment to help his company soar to new heights.

This Winter, Let Earmuffs Be Your Super-Warming Secret Weapon
Let's get one thing straight: we love hats at Lucky. Love them. Still, even when equipped with every hat-hair-avoiding trick under the sun, most beanies still tend to drum up major static and mess up your 'do. Then, there's the problem of sizing: If, like yours truly, you've been gifted with an exceptionally large noggin, it can be tricky to find a winter cap that covers your ears and isn't so snug as to lend you permanently surprised-looking eyebrows à la Joan Rivers. On the other hand, those with smaller heads can wind up with too-big beanies that gradually slip down and obscure your vision—or constantly fall off. Oh, winter struggles.
This is precisely why when it comes to cold-weather accessories, earmuffs are number one on our list of must-buys. Aside from sizing being an utter non-issue (unless you're questioning how big and dramatic to go with those over-ear tufts), they're insanely warm, come in tons of different fabrications—and if you opt for fur pairs, they lend your entire bundled-up look an irresistible Anna Karenina vibe. Plus, more and more earmuffs nowadays come with tech-savvy additions, like built-in headphones that allow you to enjoy music while keeping your ears toasty. (Of course, you can also fake the look by popping in your usual earbuds and slipping on standard earmuffs, too.) In short, earmuffs are awesome. Click through to shop 13 cozy pairs that'll keep you every bit as warm as a hat—guaranteed.

Students in Miller College's Presentation Delivery and Design course, taught by President Dave Harris, have dedicated their time and talents to a non-profit they believe in, Charitable Union.
Students in two class sections have taken the Charitable Union's mission on as their own while they worked to develop realistic ideas to help the organization, celebrating its 125th anniversary this year, maximize its marketing and fundraising efforts. Students in the summer semester researched fund development ideas and found various fairs and festivals they felt would offer Charitable Union maximum exposure. Students designed and purchased rubber bracelets to sell at such events and in the gift shop. They also developed and created a very powerful DVD complete with pictures of clients and volunteers that Charitable Union staff continue to utilize.
In the Fall 2012 section of Presentation Delivery and Design, students focused their efforts on the gift shop. Classmates brainstormed various items to sell both in the physical gift shop, as well as, researched viable options for an online gift shop presence. They presented marketing ideas and even redesigned the layout of the gift shop to encourage more sales and better traffic flow throughout.
Dennis Martin, Charitable Union Board President stated, "As a broadcasting and marketing professional I was very impressed with the creative and effective ideas submitted by the students at Miller College. Several of their suggestions have already been implemented at Charitable Union. These suggestions have helped improve sales at our Gift Shop and our visibility in the community. We really appreciate the partnership created between Miller College and Charitable Union."
Justin Young, a business student at Miller College, graciously volunteered his time after the course ended putting theory to work. Dave Harris commented, "I was so pleased to see the students take the welfare of such a great local organization to heart. This project epitomized real world experience in the classroom – I am so proud of them all, they represented Miller College wonderfully."

Clean comedian John Crist loves Katt Williams, and is loved by Denver's dirtiest standups
Do you ever write material that specifically appeals only to a church-crowd, that wouldn't work in a mainstream club?
I have probably an hour of jokes like that. I was raised in the church, went to a Christian school, I used to work for Focus on the Family, I used to work Chick-fil-A, bro -- anything you hate about Christianity, I got it.
You sporting a Jesus fish tattoo somewhere?
Oh yeah, I got bible verses in Greek on my back, a fish on my ankle.
No, I'm kidding.
I always have to ask when talking to a comedian.
As you should.
I'd never make fun of Christianity. If a comic is making fun of something like Jesus on a cross, that's offensive to me. As a believer, I can't sit back and laugh at that. But at the same time, I will be the first guy to make fun of Christians for being judgmental, or make fun of Christian comedy. Because I'm on that team. It's like a black comic making fun of how black people act -- I couldn't do that, because I'm white. So if a mainstream comic is making fun of Christianity, he's against it, but in the church I can make fun of Christians.
What is an example of that?
Oh shoot, I write for this blog called Stuff Christians Like, it's basically a satire blog on Christians.
I have a joke about the story of Job, from the bible. I say, "As Christians, the first thing we do whenever we have trouble is compare ourselves to Job. This guy lost his home, his family, lost all of his possessions, his health and his wife -- you overdrafted your checking account." It's making fun of the way Christians are always like, "I've been reading Job lately, and I can really relate because my coffee was lukewarm this morning." Now, if I did that joke at Comedy Works, nobody would get it, but in a church it kills.
I had this one joke I was warned by a pastor not to use anymore. It was about me trying to join the church leadership team, and the pastor asked me, "John, do you have any leadership skills?" And I said, "I've been leading girls on for years." Now, that's not a great joke, but he said it was inappropriate. Or there was this one where I was asked if I had any spiritual gifts, and I told him, "My girlfriend says I have the gift of tongues." That's probably the dirtiest joke I have. I would never say that joke in a comedy club, but in a church I kind of want to get under their skin a little bit, push the envelope. But only at church.
John Crist will be hosting the Funny Final Four Round One at Comedy Works, 1226 15th Street, on Wednesday, February 20. Tickets are $12 (18+). For more information visit www.comedyworks.com

We are in the process of replacing French doors at the back of our detached garage and the side door. Our house has a lot of French doors with a 3x5 colonial style grill with large mutins (1 7/8" wide and 5/8" high). The house was originally built in 1994 by a woman who was an antique expert. The muntin style goes back to 1905 according to the Historic Preservation Education Foundation. Anderson Windows has nothing close to that in their standard products. Marvin Windows apparently in their Signature line can make muntins like that. When I called one of the custom muntin millwork shops, they just laughed at me saying that their widest width is one inch and then commented that "the muntins are so wide that how do you get any light through the window." We are trying - even for our garage - to match the style in the house. The house itself has true separate lites, but we do not care about that since the simulated divided lites would look more than good enough.
Originally I thought I could just get for the two back doors (72" high by 79" wide space) a double set of good quality outward swinging French doors and have custom muntins made, but as noted above the custom muntin millwork shops are not that custom! Maybe Marvin Signature would work. Do you have any similar experience or can you make any suggestions? Thank you. |

That certainly is wide grid. Be prepared to spend a pretty penny on it. It is a safe bet that anything that custom is going to be a be a premium. |
- Posted by windowsonwashington (My Page) on Mon, Oct 29, 12 at 13:17
I just got a note back from my Pella rep. They make a door/window with a 2" grid as one of their standard offerings. It is probably not as tall but it might get you the look you are going for. |

Vertical = Muntins Horizontal = Bars The whole enchilada = grids |

Package and Contents
Let's first take a look at the packaging that the X58 Extreme ships in. Right away I have a complaint; I simply do not like the reflective surfaces that companies are putting on their packaging. Not only does it make it a pain to photograph, but it makes it a pain to actually read what is on the box as well. Still, after being annoyed by the reflective coating on the box, you will be able to tell that the X58 Extreme has a few interesting features.
The top of the box shows the usual CPU support logos and has the addition of a Windows 7 ready logo. Down at the bottom we find information about the power regulation on the board. The X58 sports an 8-Phase power set up (listed as V8 on the box). You also get powered E-SATA as well as SLI and Crossfire (something that is pretty much standard on the X58).
The back of the box has the usual jumble of images bragging about the features available on the board.
Inside ASRock has provided enough to get you going. There are the usual four SATA cables, two Molex to SATA adapters, a floppy and PATA cable, SLI bridge (single) manual, driver CD and I/O port shield.

If a thyroid nodule is discovered in a patient with GD, the nodule should be evaluated and managed according to recently published guidelines regarding thyroid nodules in euthyroid individuals. 1/++0
Thyroid cancer occurs in GD with a frequency of 2% or less (139). Thyroid nodules larger than 1–1.5 cm should be evaluated before radioactive iodine therapy. If a radioactive iodine scan is performed, any nonfunctioning or hypo-functioning nodules should be considered for fine needle aspiration (FNA), as these may have a higher probability of being malignant (46). If the cytopathology is indeterminate (suspicious) or is diagnostic of malignancy, surgery is advised after normalization of thyroid function with ATDs. Disease-free survival at 20 years is reported to be 99% after thyroidectomy for GD in patients with small (≤1 cm) coexisting thyroid cancers (140).
The use of thyroid ultrasonography in all patients with GD has been shown to identify more nodules and cancer than does palpation and 123I scintigraphy. However, since most of these cancers are papillary microcarcinomas with minimal clinical impact, further study is required before routine ultrasound (and therefore surgery) can be recommended (141,142).
Technical remarks: Both the ATA and AACE, the latter in conjunction with the European Thyroid Association and Associazione Medici Endocrinologi, have recently published updated management guidelines for patients with thyroid nodules (143,144).

Power Draw Tests
Out of the box the MSI offering offers a lot of strong power numbers when compared to the Rampage IV Extreme. The same goes for load. You can see as we move further up the MHz table, though, those numbers really begin to change with the difference between stock and 5GHz being almost an extra 170 Watt.
Core Temperature
A lot like power, you can see the temperature head north the more we overclock our CPU due to the extra voltage we're putting through it. We're not too sure if 5GHz is what you'd want to run at daily - 4.6GHz looks a lot more attractive.

Vancouver finally captures USL First Division Championship
Whitecaps first road team to capture title
USL News Release
Saturday, September 30, 2006
ROCHESTER, NY -- The Vancouver Whitecaps captured their first USL First Division Championship in their 14th season in the league with Head Coach Bob Lilley ending his winless playoff history in Rochester (0-7-0) with a 3-0 victory Saturday night. It was the first win by the visiting team in league history in a single game final in 16 occasions.
A Joey Gjertsen cross into the box in the 45th minute opened the scoring when it was deflected by Rhino defender Nate Craft just inside the far post for an own goal and a 1-0 lead for the visitors seconds before the break.
Nine minutes into the second half Gjertsen set up the second goal. Charging down the right side of the field and into the box, he sent the ball into the center of the box as a defender came sliding in and foud Tony Donatelli open 14 yards out. Donatelli took a touch to set up his shot, burying the ball over the shoulder of Scott Vallow from 13 yards out.
From there, the Vancouver midfield and defense clamped down on the play, limiting the Rhinos opportunities the remainder of the second half.
A shot from Gjertsen from 24 yards out nearly made it 3-0 in the 62nd minute, but it sailed just over the bar.
The Rhinos, who had the better of play and had a goal negated by offsides in the first 10 minutes of the first half, had a series of chances to cut into the lead down the stretch however.
Connally Edozien sent a cross from the right side of the box in the 66th minute, but Jonathan Steele's header at the far side went just wide.
In the 78th, a ball into the center of the box was missed on a bicycle kick attempt from Connally Edozien, but fell to Steele, who missed a wide open opportunity.
Nine minutes from time, the Rhinos got the ball deep into box with John Ball, but could not get a good shot off.
The final goal in the 86th minute was a stunner as Sita-Taty Matondo came off the bench to score within second of entering the game. A through ball up the middle from David Testo sent Matondo on a breakaway that drew Vallow out. Matondo beat Vallow outside the box and slipped the ball home for the commanding lead to seal the championship.
Jeff Clarke was honored as the USL First Division Championship Game Most Valuable Player for his play at midfield.
The USL First Division championship gave the Whitecaps organization a 'double' for the year after claiming the W-League Championship in August in Vancouver. They are the third to accomplish the feat with Long Island winning the W-League and USL Second Division titles in 1995 and Mass Premier Soccer winning the W-League (Boston Renegades) and Premier Development League (Cape Cod Crusaders) in 2002.

Why Does 'The Poseidon Adventure' Enjoy the Geek Cred That 'Titanic' Lacks?
Features By Nathan Adams on September 25, 2012 | Comments (7)Since its original release in 1972, Ronald Neame's The Poseidon Adventure has gained the reputation of being a modern classic. And, certainly, it's widely considered as being one of the preeminent disaster movies of all time. Set on a retiring ocean liner making its last voyage, The Poseidon Adventure tells the story of a New Year's Eve celebration that gets interrupted by the sinking of a ship. It's got a pretty impressive upside down ballroom set, it prominently features the legendary Gene Hackman, and it tells a high stakes story of survival. So it's not hard to see why people like it. But it's also largely just a movie where a group of confused people stumble around in dirty access panels and anonymous hallways for much of its run time. Is it really so great that watching it should be a New Year's Eve tradition like many have made it out to be? Especially when there are indisputable classics like The Apartment out there that also feature New Year's Eve party scenes? James Cameron's Titanic is a sappy, on-the-nose romance set against the maiden voyage (and sinking) of the infamous RMS Titanic. Upon its release in 1997, Titanic won basically every award that was given out, brought in every bit of spare cash that was sitting in anyone's pocketbooks, and captured the attention of the media machine to the point that, by the time 1998 rolled around, the backlash for the film had almost reached the same levels of fervor […]

Please show me
with descriptions in
Barcelona. Leaving three days of fever delirium behind, but packing my 38°C degree fever to take along, soaked into a never ending dizziness I find myself in a Taxi to Barcelona Airport, 30 minutes before the departure of my plane to Paris.
Barcelona, noisy as always yet so familiar and hospitable, is about to experience one of its most devastating storms in years. As if intuitive to what is about to happen, our plane escapes as fast as it can, shaken by winter clouds, jumping up and down through the cold cotton like world. It all seems a dream to me, moving like a movie I am watching, but not directing.
Paris - Charles de Gaulle is like landing in Terry Gylliam's "Brazil". Lost in an 1980's like science fiction movie scenery, no working bus service, no information, no signage nor direction, just mafia cab services and friendly French soldiers.
Antoine appears out of nothing, ready to create something exceptional, … and there it is again, the excitement of not knowing what is going to happen, entering a different delirium, a different cold cotton world.

Select from the options below to learn more about the WALKERVILLE area...
Walkerville, a suburb of Butte, was named for the Walker Brothers of Salt Lake City, Utah, who owned and operated the Alice Mine at Walkerville. The town was settled mostly by miners from Cornwall, England. (from Cheney's Names on the Face of Montana, Mountain Press Publishing Company)
From 1864 to 1867 miners located dozens of lode claims, including the Rainbow lode in present day Walkerville. The Lexington mine was one of the silver mines which established Butte as a rich silver producer in the late 1870s through the 1880s. In 1881, the Lexington Mining Company erected a 50-stamp mill and roasting ovens adjacent to their Walkerville mine. By 1887 the Butte district boasted a combined 300 stamps milling silver ore. Silver mining remained a vital part of the Butte economy until 1893 with the repeal of the Sherman Silver Purchase Act. While the repeal of the act completely devastated a number of Montana silver mining camps, Butte had its base metal production to fall back upon.
The Lexington and Alice mines, both located in Walkerville at the top of Butte hill, attracted some of the earliest outside investors to Butte and pioneered large-scale industrial mining in the district. Butte Hill and its huge copper deposits were known as "the richest hill on earth." In fact, at the turn of the century, Butte was one of the largest cities west of the Mississippi.
Although the area now is mostly abandoned there remains evidence of the mining community that once thrived here. The major features remaining at the Lexington include the steel headframe over the shaft, the hoist house, and a steel idler tower.

Why Adoption is a Great Option
Chase, a Scottsdale Cocker Spaniel dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Cocker Spaniel for sale in Scottsdale, or seeking a Cocker Spaniel dog from a breeder in Scottsdale.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Scottsdale already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Scottsdale breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Cocker Spaniel breeders who help with Cocker Spaniel rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Scottsdale paves the way for another one to be saved.

"Great flavor!! Because our local store was out of jumbo shells (and I was running out of time), I improvised and made this into a pasta salad. I used small shells and mixed the shells into the salad (instead of putting the salad into the shells). Turned out great! Used chicken, salami, italian ham and pepperoni along with Garlic Expressions dr..."
"Be aware...this is SO ADDICTING!! It is extremely easy to make and the kids can even help too!"
"LOVE IT!!! I actually make this recipe in my crock pot for parties...so it's always warm! I cook the chicken on the stove, then combine with the rest of the ingredients in the crock- stir a few times and by party time it's just perfect!! THANKS!!!"
"This casserole was ok. It looked much better than it tasted. I was so excited seeing the great reviews, but it just seemed to be lacking something...not sure what. Even my 4 year old who eats everything wasn't impressed. Maybe I'll try again using a different type of apple."

Publication Summary
The European airline industry is on the road to recovery. While the numbers look optimistic – traffic trends are positive throughout 2011 and total traffic increased. Numbers alone don't provide the full picture of what's happening in the airline segment. The dynamics and structure of the industry have undergone massive changes in the past several years. The European Union's successful liberalization of the air transport industry, on the heels of U.S. air deregulation, has ushered in unprecedented growth in air transport and introduced many new entrants and business models. From 1987 through 2007, deregulation across the European Union (EU) introduced the market to many new players. Deregulation first came into effect between Ireland and the U.K., and soon after, airlines throughout Europe were free to service the EU market.

Class of 1944
A Weekend to Remember
We were told that we did a fine job of representing the "most senior class at the reunion" and we hope it's true. We did our best. Five members of our class were there…Gail Clarke, Bill Guttenberg, Mike Mitchell, Harold Rab, and Ed Wirkowski, and we thoroughly enjoyed every minute of it.
It was truly a euphoric weekend, from the moment we were greeted by smiling students in a golf cart on Friday afternoon to Sunday morning when the last of us were waved off after coffee and bagels.
We were astonished by the campus, from newly restored Eberhardt Hall where we held our kickoff cocktail reception, to the sparkling new Campus Center where we had our dinner dance on Saturday Night. In between we enjoyed campus tours led by students, two stimulating lectures by NJIT faculty members, a guided bus tour of Newark (including the historical mansion now occupied by our President Bob Altenkirch and his wife, Beth), and a great deal of good eating and drinking.
On Saturday night, the Altenkirchs, whom many of us met and found to be incredibly warm and welcoming, hosted a cocktail reception before dinner. As soon as we put down our dessert spoons, the band started up in earnest, and some of us did our best to show the young ones what they have to look forward to.
