Be it via loans, a partial sale, or a complete merger with Volkswagen, Porsche has been looking for some sort of financial salvation as of late. That doesn't seem imminent, as the German government seems set to reject a loan application, and a deal with VW seems unlikely.
On Friday, the first indications surfaced that the state-owned development bank Kreditanstalt für Wiederaufbau (KfW) had recommended against extending Porsche an emergency loan of €1.75 billion ($2.43 billion). "The KfW wants us to improve [our application]," said a Porsche spokesman.
A German business magazine reported that Porsche was in advanced talks to sell a stake to Daimler. However, Porsche said it did not know of any move and Daimler responded with "Everyone talks to everyone in the industry."
Such a deal seems unlikely, as Daimler would be more interested in partnering with VW strategically. "There is an industrial logic for Daimler to do a deal but in the sense of Volkswagen/Audi and not Porsche directly," said Björn Voss, an analyst at M.M. Warburg. "VW is, however, already well positioned and would not profit from this (a Porsche-VW deal), so a deal appears unlikely."
In an interview with Reuters, Hans Dieter Pötsch, VW's finance chief, casts doubt on whether Porsche and VW were on track to reach a deal. Porsche currently holds a 51 percent stake in VW, and wants the German giant to merge, creating a gigantic auto group with ten brands. Porsche is also currently in talks with Qatar about selling a stake to the Gulf state.
Sal. Oppenheim, a European banking group, advised clients that "[as] a loan from the KfW government bank is becoming increasingly unlikely, the search for new funds seems to be getting almost 'desperate.' In the end we think that Porsche will have to do a massive rights issue and sell its sports car business to VW."
Although the recommendation of KfW's internal loan committee is not the final word on a state loan (the German government could still issue aid), the German sports-carmakers chance at getting a loan has severely diminished.

Fjällnäs, Malmagen
Ski areas in summer have a certain listless, under-landscaped quality. And that was my initial impression of Fjällnäs, a hotel just northwest of the ski town of Tänndalen, on the Norwegian border. The wooden buildings—housing some 45 rooms, plus a hostel, spa, chapel, and main lodge—were unsheltered by vegetation, a bit exposed without their softening blanket of snow. This was my first trip to Härjedalen province—referred to by some as Southern Lapland, even though it's well below the Arctic Circle—and I was still adapting. The brightness of the red and yellow buildings was familiar from the seven-hour drive through the countryside north from Stockholm; the topography was not. Sitting on glacial Lake Malmagen, Fjällnäs is surrounded by raw, rocky, windswept terrain shaped by ice 9,000 years ago. It made me feel both small and at the top of the world.
That a place so rugged, no matter how striking, would be the retreat of choice for well-heeled Stockholmers speaks volumes about Sweden's commitment to nature and appreciation for the fundamental. Guests have come to Fjällnäs since 1882, and the historic lodge is still the centerpiece of the resort, where one sits by the fire, maps out a cross-country-skiing route, and stokes up for the day on salmon, eggs, muesli, and strong coffee. It's also where hikers, cyclists, and families—often three generations' worth—unwind at day's end on the banquettes that line the dining room. Even in the cool daylight that accompanied dinner, everything glowed: the healthy faces and uniformly blond heads, the warm pine walls, the bright brass light fixtures designed by Alvar Aalto in 1939.
Fjällnäs completed a smart renovation and redecoration in 2008. So along with the vintage postcard left on my pillow at night (from a long tucked-away stash found on the property) and the thick wool socks laid atop the blanket at the foot of the bed, there were Missoni towels and bathrobes in rich, narrow stripes. More stripes turned up in upholstered window seats and rag rugs lining a bench in the hall where one can sit down to change out of dirty boots. When it comes to highly refined practicality, Fjällnäs is pitch-perfect. Most bedroom floors are heated, as are towel bars. Each floor comes equipped with a drying closet for wet gear; each building has a vestibule generous enough to accommodate boots, skis, and all-terrain strollers.
Fjällnäs knows its audience: there is very little sitting around. In fact, the place empties out during the day, with guests taking off in all directions, not to be seen for hours. I joined them, accompanied by my friend Susanne, who had come prepared with caps and rucksacks. We added bottles of water to our picnic lunch, though the manager assured us we could drink straight from any stream. We hiked up a trail through mountain birch; despite its gentle climb, we emerged above the tree line onto a high plain of undulating rock tempered by scruffy vegetation. The scene was so vast, the vista so far and broad, as to be immeasurable. Only a wooden signpost gave any guidance or sense of scale.
Much as I loved my room at Fjällnäs, I could have lived at its Mii Gullo Spa. A scent that was a cross between balsam forest and wood smoke—pine tar, it turned out, used as a natural sealant for the building's wood cladding—set the scene. A fire burned in the lounge area. Funny elfin hats, to keep one's head warm outside post-sauna, and rough linen washcloths were stacked next to more of those colorful Missoni towels. A horizontal band of window in the sauna framed a panorama of lakeshore meeting mountain. Hardy Swedes moved nonchalantly from sauna to hot pool to a plunge in the frigid waters of the lake. I opted for a foot and lower-leg treatment. Sitting in a chair while the therapist gently bathed my legs, I felt like a supplicant to a Norse god of well-being; I never wanted to leave. My mind wandered only so far as the magical setting I found myself in.

Why Adoption is a Great Option
Caren, a Orlando American Shorthair kitten was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a American Shorthair for sale in Orlando, or seeking a American Shorthair kitten from a breeder in Orlando.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Orlando 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 Orlando 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 American Shorthair breeders who help with American Shorthair rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Orlando paves the way for another one to be saved.

2011 NEWS August 20 , 2011 Border City Boxing Club Brings Home Two Championships
July 16, 2011 Gorges drops Majority Decision to Mensah Last night in Illinois, "Gorgeous" Andre Gorges went toe-to-toe for 12 rounds with Ghana's Albert "Tornado" for the IBF International Light-Welterweight Title. Unfortunately, two of the three judges gave the decision to the Ghanan, while third judge called the bout a draw. Gorges, who had his nose re-broken in the third round by a headbutt, falls to 11-2 with the loss. July 4, 2011 Gorges fights for IBF International Light-Welterweight Title On July 15, 2011, in Chicago, Illinois, "Gorgeous" Andre Gorges will fight Ghana's Albert "Tornado" Mensah for the IBF International Light-Welterweight Title. Gorges (11-1) is the current NABF Welterweight Champion who looks to move to his natural Light-Welterweight weightclass to face Mensah (23-3), the current World Professional Boxing Federation Light-Welterweight and WBA Pan African Light-Welterweight Champion. The winner of the bout will earn a shot at the winner of the July 23 bout between IBF Light Welterweight World Champion Zab Judah and challenger Amir Khan. June 24 , 2011 Cameron Wins in Italy Last night in Rome, Josh Cameron defeated Italy's Genardo Servadei by unanimous decision. Although Servadei was much larger, Cameron used experience and speed to upset the hometown fighter. Cameron fights again on Saturday, just outside of Rome. June 11, 2011 Hunter and El-Sinawi Victorious Tonight in Sarnia, Ontario, Border City Veteran, Alison Hunter defeated London's Julie Cybulski by unanimous decision. Also representing Border City was Waseem El-Sinawi, who survived an early eight-count to win by split decision. May 21 , 2011 Gorges Named WESPY Boxer of the Year For the third year in a row, The Border City Boxing Club has produced the Male Boxer of the Year award winner at the Windsor Essex County Sports Persons of the Year Awards. "Goregous" Andre Gorges joins "Sweet" Samir El Mais (2009) and "Jackknife" Josh Cameron (2010) as the winner of the Best Male Boxer of the year for all of Essex County. Border City also had a record four nominations for both the male and female categories: Male Category "Gorgeous" Andre Gorges: "Gorgeous" Andre Gorges had two huge wins over the past year. In October 2010 Gorges upset Detroit favourite Lenardo Tyner in an eight-round North American Boxing Association Welterweight Championship bout at the Palace of Auburn Hills. Billed as the rematch of the 1812 War between Canada and the U.S., Canadian Andre Gorges scored a well-deserved split verdict win in an eight over the much more experienced Lenardo Tyner, now (24-4). Windsorite Gorges (10-1) used height, speed and crafty boxing techniques to thwart Detroit-area favorite Tyner, who lost for the first time in front of his 313-area code partisans. In March 2011, Gorges, NABA Welterweight Champion, defeated former WBO World Champion Demarcus "Chop Chop" Corley in Toronto to rise even higher in the World Title Rankings. "Sweet" Sammy El Mais: "Sweet" Sammy did it again. The Canadian Heavyweight Champion defeated three challengers from Quebec at the 2010 National Championships in Quebec City. In the quarter-finals, El Mais defeated Steven Harvey by an 11:4 score; in the semi-finals, he defeated Matte Carol by a 15:2 score; and in the final he stopped Jean Donald George with a body shot in the first round. El Mais looks forward to representing Canada internationally again in 2011, and to qualify for the 2012 Olympics in England. Female Category Jeannine "Heartless" Garside: Garside captured all of the professional World Titles out there for her to win over the past year. In April 2010, Garside claimed the the vacant WIBA Featherweight Title in Duncan, B.C. Garside knocked out "Lethal" Lindsay Garbatt of Oshawa, Ontario at 1:24 of the 3rd round to win her third World Title. In July 2010, Garside traveled across the Atlantic to battle the highly rated and undefeated champion in Ina Menzer and outfought the German over the course of 10 rounds to win the IBF, WBO, and WBC featherweight titles at the Porche Arena in Stuttgart, Germany. Garside won a unanimous decn over the previously unbeaten Menzer (26-1 10KO's) and was aggressive throughout the 10 round contest knocking down Menzer in the final round to secure the win. Jeannine "Heartless" Garside - Undisputed World Champion! Shelby "Lionheart" Bialkowski : 16 year-old Shelby "Lionheart" Bialkowski certainly lived up to her name in Quebec at the National Championships this year. Bialkowski had to come back from a seven point deficit to earn the 57kg Junior Canadian Boxing Title. Bialkowski defeated Quebec's Melika Ben Yedder by countback 28-27. The 2011 Junior NationaBoxing Championships took place in St. Hyacinthe, Quebec. Bialkowski defeated Alberta's Sidban Mangal in semi-final action by a score of 16-10. Bialkowski is now a four time National Champion. April 17 , 2011 Cameron and El-Sinawi Victorious On Saturday night, at the Portuguese Club in Harrow, Ontario, "Jackknife" Josh Cameron and Waseem "The Dream" El-Sinawi each scored spilt-decision victories over teammates from the Steeltown Boxing Club in Hamilton. Cameron defeated Jesse Wilcox in the Middleweight Division, while El-Sinawi bested Kevin Higson in the Welterweight division. Waseem El-Sinawi and Josh Cameron Gorges fights to victory with broken nose BY MARY CATON Andre Gorges could smell victory and he wasn't going to let a broken nose keep him from sniffing it out. Gorges won the most important boxing match of his welterweight career Tuesday night in Toronto when he earned an eight-round, split decision against former WBO World Champion DeMarcus Corley at the Royal York Hotel. Immediately after the fight ended, he told his trainer, Josh Canty of Border City Boxing, that he'd rebroken his nose during a sparring session last week. "He didn't want us pulling him out of another fight," Canty said of Gorges' decision to keep the injury secret. A slow healing nose forced Gorges out of a high-profile HBO card at the Pontiac Silverdome in January. "When you get fights like this you can't let them go," Gorges said of the opportunity against Corley. "I knew it was broken but I thought we're going to fight no matter what. He hit me one time and broke it even more but when you're in a fight it doesn't really hurt all that much." The current North American welterweight champion, Gorges is intent on punching his way up the global rankings so he can get a world title shot. "This fight will definitely move him up the rankings," Canty said. "Corley was no slouch and he came to fight." Prior to this loss, Corley was ranked 87th in the world among active light welterweights with a resume that includes going the distance against former world champions Floyd Mayweather Jr., Zab Judah (No. 5 in the world rankings) and Devon Alexander (No. 3 in the world rankings). Gorges is the second-ranked welterweight in Canada and 50th in the world. "Our goal is to move him into 10-round fights against this calibre of opponent, someone who's either on the rise or been there," Canty said. "We're going to keep inching up there until he's in a position to challenge for a world title." Gorges took a 10-1 record into the ring against Corley's 37-16-1 mark as a professional. "He caught me in the first round, he was showing me I didn't belong in the ring but I weathered the storm," Gorges said. Corley's blow left Gorges with a blurry left eye so he kept manouvering his opponent to the right for a better look. "It was a tough fight," Gorges said. "He wanted to go toe-to-toe but I was boxing. My right hand was working and my jabs. I didn't let him get off on me." The 25-year-old native of Iraq hopes victory accelerates his path to title contention. "It's a big stepping stone," he said. "Four more fights like that and I might have a shot. Once you get in the top 10 (in the world rankings) that's when you get a title shot." March 25 , 2011 Gorges Faces Dangerous Opponent "Gorgeous" Andre Gorges will face his most experienced opponent to date in four days at Royal York Hotel in Toronto, Ontario. The North American Welterweight Boxing Champion will square off against Washington D.C.'s DeMarcus "Chop Chop" Corley in a scheduled 8-round bout. Corley, who has gone the distance with former World Champions Floyd Mayweather Jr., Zab Judah, and Devon Alexander, promises to block Gorges' path to a future World Title shot. If the seasoned southpaw can upset Gorges he will be back in the spotlight for big money fights. January 23, 2011 Bialkowski Earns Fourth National Title Shelby "Lionheart" Bialkowski with Team Ontario Coach Bob Wilcox Shelby "Lionheart" Bialkowski certainly lived up to her name in Quebec at the National Championships this year. Bialkowski had to come back from a seven point deficit to earn the 57kg Junior Canadian Boxing Title. Bialkowski defeated Quebec's Melika Ben Yedder by countback 28-27. The 2011 Junior National Boxing Championships took place in St. Hyacinthe, Quebec from January 18 - January 22, 2011. January 21, 2011 Shelby "Lionheart" Bialkowski defeated Alberta's Sidban Mangal in semi-final action on Thursday by a score of 16-10. Bialkowski is competing in the 57kg weight division and was last year's National Champion. This year's Junior Canadian Championships are taking place all week in St. Hyacinthe, Quebec. Shelby will face Quebec's Melika Ben Yedder in the finals on Saturday. Gorges Forced out of Bout Dave Waddell, Windsor Star Wednesday, January 26, 2011 Talk about your bad breaks. Windsor boxer Andre Gorges had to pull out of his bout Saturday with Angel Hernandez at the Pontiac Silverdome after his broken nose failed to heal quick enough to allow him to fight. Gorges was scheduled to be part of the undercard of HBO's broadcast of the world welterweight title unification bout between unbeaten fighters Timothy Bradley and Devon Alexander. "I'm so upset," said Gorges, who is based out of the Border Cities Boxing Club. "This was my dream. I'm a fighter and I'll fight no matter what. I'll fight with one arm. "It's a big moment for me and I feel like I've let a lot people down." Gorges broke his nose two weeks ago sparring at Detroit's Kronk Gym and it's preventing him from being able to breathe properly. He originally thought his nose was just swollen after getting popped during training, but a week ago X-rays confirmed the break. "I've fought for 10 years, 150 amateur fights, 11 pro fights and millions of rounds of sparring and never broken my nose," Gorges said. "It was a nice shot. Best shot I've ever taken. "I was kind of moving forward into it too and crack. But we went another four rounds after that because I've never thought it was broken." Gorges' trainer, Josh Canty, informed promoters Don King and Gary Shaw Tuesday that the 25-year-old wouldn't be able to compete. Canty forwarded the medical documents and confirmations of the injury to the promoters Tuesday. "He was sparring last night and he was just exhausted because he can't breathe properly," Canty said. "There's still an obstruction in his nasal passage. "This is a fight he needs to shine in. You can't fight with your mouth open in boxing." Canty said the call was ultimately his to make. "He's not talking to me right now," Canty said. "It's a big opportunity lost, so close to home too. "But, at this stage of his career and being only 25, you don't take foolish chances. You've got to look at the big picture and what is best for your fighter." Canty doesn't feel the withdrawal for legitimate medical reasons will hurt Gorges' standing with promoters. Gorges' manager Ray Taylor, a Windsor native, has ties with King which helped lead to the fight in the first place. After being informed Monday of Canty's decision, Gorges admits he's cooled off and supports his trainer's position. "It was awful in sparring Monday," Gorges said. "As soon as I get hit, the blood clots in my nose start opening up. I start swallowing blood and it was making me nauseous. "I had to breathe with my open and you can't do that in boxing. It was the right call and I respect Josh for making it. "We don't want to take chances and ruin my career." Gorges said he'll use the extra time off to take care of a other minor ailments. "In another month or two, hopefully we can get another fight scheduled," he said. January 10, 2011 Gorges Fighting on HBO North American Welterweight Boxing Champion "Gorgeous" Andre Gorges will be facing off with Angel Hernandez of Gary, Indiana on Saturday, January 29, 2011 at the Silverdome in Pontiac, Michigan. The bout will be broadcast on HBO at 10:00 p.m. EST. Gorges is currently ranked 14th in the World by the WBA and looks to make a strong statement on his HBO debut. The Main Event features a unification bout in Gorges' weight division between undefeated titleholders Devon Alexander and Timothy Bradley to determine the top candidate for 140-pound supremacy. It's lack of faith
that makes people afraid of meeting challenges,
and I believed in myself.

Marshawn Lynch was fired up on the Seahawks' sidelines Monday night and for good reason. Beast Mode was upset with his limited number of touches in what turned out to be a very close game with the Rams, but that usage will prove to be more of an outlier than a sign of things to come.
Marshawn Lynch
Week 8 line: 8 carries for 23 yards, 1 reception for 4 yards
Seattle came away with the win on Monday, but offensive coordinator Darrell Bevell's gameplan still seems odd. Regardless, there is no reason to be scared of Lynch going forward. While he only has one 100-yard game on the year, he has three other contests with over 90 yards and boasts six touchdowns on the season. If his owner is even remotely unsettled by his nine touches last week, find a way to get him onto your roster. VERDICT: BUY
Andre Ellington
Week 8 line: 15 carries for 154 yards and 1 touchdown, 2 receptions for 8 yards
Ellington has been the best running back in the Cardinals' offense for a while now, but head coach Bruce Arians continued to trot out Rashard Mendenhall, despite the veteran's general ineffectiveness. With Mendenhall sidelined with a toe injury, Ellington was allowed to lead the backfield in Week 8 and his 10.3 average yards per carry helped carry the Cardinals to victory. Arians said that once healthy, Mendenhall will resume his role, and whether that is true or just coach-speak, it's reason enough to cash in your Ellington stock when he is the talk of the league. VERDICT: SELL
Marvin Jones
Week 8 line: 8 receptions for 122 yards and 4 touchdowns (8 targets)
In the last three weeks Jones has 15 catches for 250 yards and six touchdowns. Take a second to let that sink in, because those are legit WR1 stats. Jones has shown that he can produce at a high level when called upon, but that's the problem, the Bengals haven't been using Jones outside of three-receiver sets. His monster stat line from Sunday came on just 19 snaps. Mohamed Sanu has missed practice Monday and Tuesday and with the Bengals playing on Thursday night, Jones could be used more in Week 9. Use that information to convince an owner that Jones is the answer to their receiver woes before he goes back to being a role player. VERDICT: SELL
James Jones
Week 8 line: 5 receptions for 89 yards (6 targets)
James Jones hasn't begun practicing yet in his return from a knee injury on October 13. Jarrett Boykin has stepped up admirably for the Packers with 13 catches for 192 yards and a touchdown over the last two weeks, but once Jones is healthy he will be back in the starting lineup. With Randall Cobb and Jermichael Finley sidelined, Jones will be very valuable down the stretch and given the initial timetable for his injury, he should return in the next week or two. VERDICT: BUY
Michael Vick
Week 8 line: 6/9 for 30 yards and 1 interception
After Week 1, Vick was listed in this very column as the top quarterback to sell, mostly because of his injury history. Less than two months later, Vick is sidelined with a hamstring injury that could keep him out past the Eagles' Week 12 bye. If you are confident that you will be making the fantasy playoffs, Vick may be the type of acquisition that could put you over the top if you are willing to be patient. With his value at its lowest point of the season, you likely won't need to pry him away from his current owner. Philadelphia will face the Lions, Vikings and Bears from Week 14-16, three teams that rank bottom eight against the pass. VERDICT: BUY
Matt Ryan
Week 8 line: 34/61 for 301 yards and 1 touchdown with 4 interceptions
It might not be ideal to sell Ryan coming off a four-interception performance, but it did happen against one of the better pass defenses in the league. If that's not enough, Ryan is also dealing with a severely limited cast with Julio Jones out for the year and Roddy White still missing time due to injury. Veteran running back Steven Jackson looks like his days as an impact player are over and Tony Gonzalez doesn't have the speed to do it all by himself any more. Ryan has managed to put together strong outings leading up to Week 8 and his name value is still high. Get out now while you still can. VERDICT: SELL
Jason Witten
Week 8 line: 2 receptions for 2 yards (2 targets)
Witten appeared in this column as a potential buy early in the season and he responded with 20 targets over his next two games, including a seven-catch, 121-yard, one-touchdown performance in Week 5. Since then, Witten has fallen off the map in Dallas' offense. The emergence of wide receiver Terrance Williams is likely part of the reason for Witten's lack of involvement, and Williams' role in the offense isn't going away. Much like Matt Ryan, Witten is coming off a bad week, but his name alone may be enough to get a decent return. VERDICT: SELL
Julius Thomas
Week 8 line: 3 receptions for 29 yards (3 targets)
The rigors of the NFL season have started to effect the Broncos. First they lost left tackle Ryan Clady for the season, then Peyton Manning's ankles caused him to miss some practice time, and on Sunday Thomas hobbled off the field with an ankle injury of his own. Early reports say he avoided a high-ankle sprain and Thomas now has the bye week to rest up. His owners are already making plans to replace him during the bye, so help them out by taking Thomas off their hands. Once healthy, he will be a top five tight end the rest of the way. VERDICT: BUY

It seems like it happened 50,000 years ago at this point, but LeBron James did hit a series-clinching jumper in Game 7 of the NBA Finals less than a week ago. I seent it with my own eyes. I seent it.
And though it was just a handful of days ago, that's been more than enough time for LeBron himself to put that 20-footer in to proper historical perspective. From a Point Forward excerpt of a Sports Illustrated piece from Lee Jenkins:
James uncorked 20 shots outside the paint in Game 7, the most since he arrived in South Florida three years ago. He drained nine, including five three-pointers. But with 33 seconds left, Miami was only up by two, and James bounced the ball on the blazing Heat logo at midcourt. He was back in the ring of fire. With the floor expertly spaced by Spoelstra, guard Mario Chalmers darted up from the post to set a screen on Leonard at the left elbow, and James bounded around it. Parker switched onto him, but James planted his left shoulder into Parker's chest, sending him stumbling backward. Leonard recovered, tossing out a hand to contest, but James did not hesitate. He pulled up from 20 feet, easy as an August afternoon at St. V, with the same result. "I know it wasn't the magnitude of MJ hitting that shot in '98, but I definitely thought about him," James said. "It was an MJ moment." He paused as a turn of phrase came to mind. "It was an LJ moment."
At first maybe you're like, "Yeah total MJ moment, like how he's famous for all those last-second jumpers that extended leads and not game-winners. Silly LeBron James." And you know, fair enough. But do remember that Michael Jordan's last title-winner, the one against the Jazz, came with 5.2 seconds remaining, which means Utah did have a chance to completely negate the now-legendary shot. A game-winner can be a game-winner even if it doesn't technically 100 percent win the game. It's complicated, but you know what I mean.
And when you think about it like that, yeah that jumper was an MJ moment. LeBron James' team needed a basket to win the NBA championship, and LeBron James went and got that basket from a place that could be filmed from multiple camera angles. The only thing that could be more MJ about it is if it were made in to a commercial, which I guarantee will happen sometime in the next two decades.
Now the only thing LeBron James has to do for another MJ moment is to get gypped out of his third straight MVP award, then drop half a hundred on the guy who stole his award in the Finals while leading his team to their third straight title. I'd say this seems ludicrous, but he's nailed the first two-thirds of the first Bulls three-peat, so why not finish it off?

I want to make my own rose topiary. Hopefully, I don't have to graft anything... I was thinking I could prune out side shoots to one central leader on a bush type rose like knockout... but now I wonder if they use climbers. Does anyone know? |
Follow-Up Postings:
I have a Belinda's Dream rose tree. I know that it isn't a climber. It's quite beautiful. But I haven't a clue how they are done. |

I posted on this a couple of years ago, and found out a couple of things. First..if your roses die down to the ground, or snow level each year, then it won't work, because you'd be starting from the ground each year. Second..there was a suggestion about building a container type thing to put around the rose every winter and fill with leaves to insulate it,then it **might** live... having said that, and being in zone 5 also, if I were to try it, I would probably try it with a rugosa, as they are the most cane hardy around here.. there is a rose tree that can be planted directly in the ground and will live..i can't remember it's name..perhaps if you post on the roses forum someone might know. if i remember correctly, it was a single, but i'm not sure..good luck...donna |

It is a single, and very beautiful. Mine is covered with blooms at the moment. It's called "Polar Joy" and was developed by Bailey's nursery here in Minnesota. GaryStPaul |

G Mode
Anne Bredon at KPFA in Berkeley, 1995
Click for larger image
"Ninkasi's Dance" on "Seven Modes for an Ancient Lyre" is based on a song composed years ago by a woman named Anne Bredon who presently lives on Trail's End in Norh Fork, California. She writes beautifully crafted material that sounds like folksongs, and in fact her work has been mistaken for folk material more than once. A hundred years from now, her songs will be circulating in music parties, singing circles, strummed around firesides and campsites, and recorded by musicians she will never meet.
During the early '60's one of her songs, "Babe, I'm Gonna Leave You" was recorded by Joan Baez, and in 1969 the same song landed on British rock group Led Zeppelin's first album! This songwriter's material has a definite aura of good luck!
Come Away ©1991 Anne Bredon
Come to the green grove by the moon, Or come in the morning sun; Come sing the joys of the good, green earth, Sing new life begun; Come away, come away, come away!
We'll dance in the grove 'round the old oak tree With flowers in our hair; Dance for the joy of the wind and rain, Oh, the earth is fair; Come away, come away, come away!
Come with the fruits of field and vine Still come if you have none; We'll share them all in a feast of love Earth and we are one; Come away, come away, come away
This and other Anne Bredon songs (including the original version of "Babe, I'm Gonna Leave You") are published in "The Gate at the End of the World."
Alas, we learn from the Smithsonian museum that this image, (though the statue is in their collection), is NOT Ninkasi, but in fact Rim-Sin, King of Larsa, carrying a load of bricks. Since there are no existing images of Ninkasi, we let this stand in her place.
To create a simple dance, we used repeated fifths in the base on the lyre and named the song after the Sumerian goddess of beer, Ninkasi. Fifths and fourths are the intervals used to generate the "rough tuning" of the seven modes
Expedition Magazine, at the University of Pennsylvania Museum chose this song, "Ninkasi's Dance" to put up on their web site when one of their issues was featuring the Treasures from the Royal Tombs of Ur exhibit. Go to:
University of Pennsylvania
Click on the .au or.wav link on their site to hear an early versionn of "Ninkasi's Dance" played only on the lyre

(in a simlar fashion...) ...Ninkasi, Your father is Enki, Lord Nidimmud, Your mother is Ninti, the queen of the sacred lake. ...Ninkasi, You are the one who handles the dough, [and] with a big shovel, Mixing in a pit, the bappir with [date]-honey. ...Ninkasi, you are the one who bakes the bappir in the big oven, Puts in order the piles of hulled grains, ...Ninkasi, you are the one who waters the malt set on the ground, The noble dogs keep away even the potentates. ...Ninkasi, you are the one who soaks the malt in a jar The waves rise, the waves fall.

18 applicants remain for Provost position, new VP post filled
By Scott Harvey
Commerce – A group of 50 applicants has been narrowed to 18 for the position of Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs at Texas A&M University-Commerce.
The Provost Search Advisory Committee confirmed the details Thursday following its latest meeting. The committee met to review all applications, where they classified them into two categories: Deserving further interest, or no further interest. The process resulted in a group of 18 applications. The committee will now contact references furnished by those applicants.
After all references are contacted by committee members, the committee will reconvene to further reduce the number of candidates to from six to eight. These applicants will be invited for off-campus face-to-face interviews. A group of approximately three applicants will then be forwarded to President Jones for permission to invite for on-campus interviews.
By mid-April the committee should be close to knowing the name of the new Provost and Vice-President for Academic Affairs.
In a related story, the new position for Vice President for Student Access and Success at Texas A&M University-Commerce has officially been filled.
The A&M System Board of Regents Thursday formally approved the appointment of Dr. Mary Hendrix to the position. Dr. Hendrix had most recently served as Interim Provost and Vice President for Academic and Student Affairs, a position now split into two different job descriptions as part of a reorganization plan at A&M-Commerce.

Summary: Facing issues when importing Canon Vixia HF R42 MTS media files to Final Cut Pro X or FCP 6/7 for editing? The easy workaround is to transcode mts to ProRes codec with a professional AVCHD converter Mac. Below is how.

The Canon Vixia HF R42 is one of the best choices for videographers to capture. It shoots Full HD movies. Capture HD Movies in your choice of super-smooth 60p at Full HD 1920x1080 resolution. The recordings' format of HF R42 is the AVCHD (28 Mbps) which delivers stunning picture quality while the MP4 codec lets you compress to smaller files for easier upload to the web. However, if you want to edit Canon AVCHD MTS in Final Cut Pro on Mac OS X, you will meet some problems.

After widely searching and further test, we found that the problems mainly lie in that Final Cut Pro, (FCP 6/7 and FCP X) cannot support the native AVCHD footages from Canon R42. So the first problem you have to solve is how to transcode Canon Vixia HF R42 AVCHD to ProRes, the codec which is specially designed for editing with Final Cut Pro.

Here we recommend the best AVCHD to ProRes Converter. Its great performance and all the FCP compatible formats included(Apple ProRes 422 HQ, Apple ProRes 422, Apple ProRes 422 LT, etc) make it easier for you to import and edit your 1080 50p/60p files from Canon Vixia R42 in Final Cut Pro. Just download it and follow the guide on converting Canon HF R42 MTS to ProRes 422 below.

Simple steps to convert e Canon Vixia HF R42 AVCHD to Apple ProRes MOV for FCP

Step 1. Install and launch Brorsoft MTS/M2TS Converter for Mac to dag and drop Canon AVCHD videos to this software. Or, you can click the Add button to load your MTS footage to the program.

Tip: If you want to join the files together, please tick the box "Merge into one" on the main interface.

Step 2. Press the Format box and select one of the Apple ProRes codecs on the dropdown list. You are advised to choose "Apple ProRes 422 (*.mov)"or "Apple ProRes 422 HQ (*.mov)" as the export.

Step 3. Click the "Settings" icon and you'd better set the video size as 1920*1080, video frame rate as 30fps for importing Canon Vixia HF R42 1080p MTS to FCP with the best quality.

Step 4. Hit he button for "Convert" and start converting Canon Vixia HF R42 AVCHD to FCP ProRes 422 .mov video on Mac OS X (Lion and Mountain Lion) immediately.

Once the 1080p AVCHD to Apple ProRes conversion finished, you can run the Final Cut Pro and click File —> Import —> Files to import the converted files and edit them in Final Cut Pro 6/7/X without any rendering or incompatibility problem.
Summary: The Avid Media Composer 6 won't import MXF files from Canon XF100, XF105, XF300,XF305. The easy workaround is to transcode MXF to Avid Media Composer natively supported format - DNxHD. Here is a quick-stare guide.

Canon XF100, XF105, XF300, XF305 camcorders are considered a landmark in the groups of Canon's professional high definition camcorder, which appeal to a wide range from videographers or film-makers to photography fans, which is featured with MPEG-2 Full HD 4:2:2 recording(MXF format) on CompactFlash at up to 50Mbps. However, users find it's difficult to import Canon MXF clips to Avid Media Composer or other NLE system.

As far as I know, MXF is a self-container format which is unacceptable by various non-linear editing systems (NLE), like Avid Media Composer(5/5.5/6/6.5), Pinnacle Studio, Final Cut Pro (FCP 6/7/X), Sony Vegas, Adobe Premiere Pro(CS3/CS4/CS5/CS6), etc. In order to import the MXF files from Canon camera to Avid Media Composer for editing, the easy workaround is to transcode Canon MXF files to Avid MC compatible video formats. Along with some help from a top MXF Converter, it can be done. To help those who wanna edit MXF files in Avid Media Composer without problems, here I share with you a simple guide on how to convert MXF files to edit in Avid Media Composer CS6.

1:All location cards for A or B side shuffled.
2:General A.I. 1,2,3,4,5,6,(16,17) if you have expansion.
3:Basic equipment for players are Snubnose with 3 ammo tokens and grenade with 1 grenade token.
Game Play Rules:
-A.I.:Since playing zombie's you ignore statements such as locust A or locust A and C, you now treat A,B,C as a group moving or attacking with every zombie on map.Spawning is now at the closest broken barrier or the most damaged, if A.I. states at map exit make it the farthest barrier from you. A.I. cards are only started to be pulled after first barrier is broke through in a new zone.So no one pulls a A.I. card until a barrier is broke and zombie's can move.
-ZONE: You begin by drawing 2 location cards and setting the areas up then 3 after you unlock 1st zone.( The emergence holes are now barriers where zombie's spawn.)
-BARRIER: Barrier has a health of 5 and takes -1 every round zombies or a zombie is behind the barrier (I used castle of ravenloft hp tokens to mark the health). The barrier keeps the zombie's in this area until the barrier is broke. You can fix a barrier by +1 by being in an area next to it and spending a order card, how ever you can only fix a barrier once there are no zombie's in that area. You gain +1 exp every time you fix the barrier by 1, only fix +1 per turn after regular action. To seal off a barrier area you must seal the emergence hole with grenade and totally fix barrier this make that a safe area and no more zombie's may spawn there. Players may move through a barrier but not end movement in that area.
-SPAWNING:This differs from how many players you have.
1 player: 3 Zombie's
2 players: 5 Zombie's
3 players: 9 Zombie's
4 players: 12 Zombie's
Place each zombie as evenly through out the zone map as you can. You only use these spawning rules when unlocking a new zone as a base setup.
-COVER: This no longer applies for the zombie's but they can be chain sawed, cover no longer provides players with defensive bonuses but still have order cards that help out in cover.
-ZOMBIE'S ACTION: After every player turn they immediately move each zombie 1 area toward closest cog figure or if a zombie is in an area already with a cog that zombie then attacks the cog in that area, if more than 1 cog in area attack closest. You can play a guard card before they make this move. Then after that action player now draws a A.I. card and does the action as a group if no actions can take place proceed to next players turn ( basically if the a.i. card does nothing and there are no zombie's consider that a free round lol).
-DOWNED PLAYER: If you are downed you can do 1 of 2 things crawl 1 area or shot 1 time with any "PISTOL" to an in range zombie no ammo tokens are aloud to be used or any other actions. You are now ignored by zombie's and they can not harm you.A downed player may only move or shot 5 times which means 5 turns before player dies until new zone is unlocked player come back with basic equipment.
-REVIVING: To revive a downed player be in same area spend a order card then downed player may draw 2 order cards to start their healing.
Omen:Infection Deal 2 wounds (once per turn)
Zombie's may only attack cog in same area and are worth 1 exp when killed.(I used zombie mini's from castle of ravenloft to represent zombie's. Gave me a better feel for it.
- ? AREAS: These areas are now where you can make purchases with exp cost an order card to activate purchase beside Barid he gets to activate purchase with no order card for his special ability. In these areas you can buy a few things
2 Ammo tokens cost 5 exp
1 grenade token cost 5 exp
A double sided weapon card with 2 ammo cost 10 exp
A random weapon card with 2 ammo(if applicable) 15 exp
Extra order card cost 15 exp
You may only make 1 purchase per turn.
I have played it once really fast paced and liked it I think you will too if I wrote the rule for you to understand them give me some thoughts or improvements cause love the idea and gameplay is pretty awesome. Hope you enjoy"ZOMBIE'S"

We live in an attention economy-driven world where the most important things are the things you see the most and the things you see the most are the things a few select people decide are important. If you're not cool enough to be noticed, then you'll never be cool because you'll never be seen.
It's a vicious cycle and it's something Tyrus Thomas doesn't like at all. From the Charlotte Observer:
"My drive is because of the fact every other team is getting mentioned right now, whether it's their blockbuster trade or how good they'll be," Thomas told the Observer Monday. "So I know we have to come in and work. My drive right now is to be mentioned. It just disgusts me when you watch ESPN, and out of the 30 teams you're not mentioned.
"I think a lot of our guys have that chip on their shoulders. Just to show we're in the league, too, you know?''
If you're a team no one cares about, this is the way to do it. Just play your balls off, try to be fun and win some games. Eventually someone will put you on TV.
Except, of course, for the fact that the league's national TV schedule is pretty well set and the only way to get more exposure is to be chosen as the featured game for Fan Night on NBATV. And because they're the Bobcats, they've only got four national games.
Not to mention, they were the 26th slowest team in the league last year, according to the pace statistics provided by Basketball-Reference. And they were the 26th worst offensive team in the league last year. And they had less dunks last year than Dwight Howard and Blake Griffin did individually. And their leading dunker (Kwame Brown, 72nd in the league) just signed a hilariously huge contract with another team. And their highest draft pick might not be joining the team this season.
I'm not saying it's impossible for the Bobcats to get national exposure, I'm just saying there are some obstacles. Maybe Tyrus Thomas just needs to start saying quotable things to anyone who'll listen. Not only did that "get my check" blurb get him some attention, this little nugget got him a super valuable blog post. You gotta start somewhere.
