Well well it's bareroot rose season again. As usual I have ordered more roses than I have the time to plant before the "hell temperatures" arrive in North Texas. I have a couple bare roots that should arrive any time soon. For the curious Mollineaux and Marchessa Bocella (not bare rooted from ARE). I plan to use a cedar raised bed kit that is 10 inches deep.Will I have enough depth if I clear the grass and plant them only in the amended garden mix and compost that I normally use? Or will I actually have to dig into the Earth to at least 8 inches making a total of 18 inches deep? Please tell me nice things :-) :-) I garden in Texas clay. And I have 8 more roses to plant. I will place the others in the ground no problems. These will be potted from ARE. But I have to hurry with the bare roots because of our crazy quick warm up in Texas. Much thanks and Happy Rose gardening!!! |

Roses have rather deep roots, and that should be encouraged as they will be more drought tolerant. I would amend the soil as deeply as possible. |

I am not at an expert level, but have grown roses in raised beds, and definitely agree with Evenie. I would dig deep; at LEAST 8", and also amend that soil underneath the raised bed kit with compost or whatever you generally use as an amendment for roses. |

Thanks Dessert garden and Evenie for saving me from myself. I guess this will teach me .ot to bite off more than I can chew. |

Shopshops, I agree with the others. I think you've got clay and caliche somewhere under your raised beds, so I'd dig down into native soil and amend a bit, mixing in whatever your personal secret amendment formula happens to be. Eventually your rose roots will hit clay and such, but soil transistion and gradual adjustment is helpful. This summer you'll be glad you scraped together enough time to do the prep. It will save you months of wilting roses and frustration and gallons of water! Carol |
Thanks Carol. I so treasure the advice I get on here from my rose friends. Rightyho!! No more laziness will be out there tommorow if the freezing rain doesn't stop me..... |
Garden gypsum breaks up heavy clay nicely, and is an excellent buffer if your pH is off. |

I always dig down to 50cm (about 20") when I plant roses. Nik |
Thank you Evenie, Carol and Nix. I pledge to be a poster of pics this year! |

Raised beds for me. Line them with newspapers. They will work through the newspapers and the newspapers will help to enrich the soil below. Make sure you have several layers of newspaper, an inch thick if possible. You can also use magazines. Dyes in slick ads now are no problem. |

The deeper you dig, the more weeds you are bringing up. I don't need any more weeds than I already have. My newspaper blocks the sunlight from the weeds and in the time it takes the roses to reach down to the other layer of soil, my newspapers have killed off a lot of weed seeds. That's my story and I am sticking to it. |
I love your story as well Patricia. I have awful Bermuda grass. So I will remove the grass before I lay the newspapers. My bareroots came on Saturday. Its warming up here in Texas. Got to get them in the ground. |

Just asked this question on the HGTV site and received a reply from "The Gestalt Gardener" Felder Rushing. He said that I should turn the soil at least a shovel depth, incorporate compost and top with an additional inch of mulch to dress the bed and, of course, to conserve moisture. Then either add material to hold the soil in place, such as either boards or stones. I would love to go out and find some, but here in my part of MS, we just don't have them naturally, at least not to any size. I also overdid it this year with the roses. I have 30 outside right now resting in mulch till I can finish the rose beds! And I have another 11 coming sometime this week! Going to be busy this week, but I know how happy I will be to see my roses bloom! |

GREAT FALLS - Jennifer Triplett and her father were victims of a drunk driver on March 10, 2010,l with both sustaining serious injuries.
Jennifer said it was about 6:30 a.m. as they were traveling to work when a man slammed into their van near the corner of 15th Street and 8th Avenue North.
"In a split second, an event changed our lives, for the rest of our lives," Jennifer's husband Jason Triplett said.
Jennifer has faced multiple surgeries over the past two years.
"I have no hearing in my left ear," Jennifer said. "I have nerve damage to the side of my face. I had a broken jaw, a broken neck. It was terrible."
The medical bills have piled up, Jennifer is on disability leave from her job still awaiting social security disability benefits, and their living situation feels crowded with two families living in the same home.
Just this month however, another moment changed everything. Habitat for Humanity announced Jennifer, Jason and their 6-year-old son Steven would be recipients of a new home.
"I've never hugged somebody so tight in my life," Jennifer said. "It was the best thing anyone has ever told us."
For Jason and Jennifer, owning a home has been a long time dream of theirs.
"We moved around a lot as kids," Jennifer said. "I want my kids to be able to go to college. That's my dream, for my kids to go away and come home and be able to say 'I'm going home for Christmas', and 'I want to go to my home that I helped build and my parents are still in it and my dog still lives there.' I want my kids to have a structured setting where they're proud to bring their friends over and play."
With a new baby girl on the way, Jennifer and Jason say they can't wait to see what else 2013 has in store for them. But, they are also looking back and thanking everyone for the moments that have turned their lives around.

Sorry for the cross-post with the Lighting forum, but I thought some people here might have some info.. I am installing LED recessed lighting in my remodeled kitchen. After doing a lot of research I had decided to put in Cree CR6-800L-GU24 recessed lights, using the Cree RC6-12W-GU24 LED housing. Then I saw that the Cree LR6 LED line also got an update, with the LR6-10L. Has anyone looked through options for LED recessed kitchen lighting, and looked at the Cree LR6-10L-27K? It has 1000 lumen output (vs. 800 for the CR6), runs at 2700K, and is supposedly dimmable to 5% (like the CR6). Thanks! |

The union of two ravers, club kids or party goers for a brief or extended period who's relationship only consists of attending raves, parties and after parties and promoting said events. These types of relationships rarely if ever move into any type of normalcy. No movies, dinners, or romantic walks, no meeting of family or friends out of the 'scene'.
Yeah that girl and I were together for awhile but it was more of a ravelationship than anything. We never even went out to dinner.

A rare sighting of a lone tusker on the Shiradi Ghat Road near here recently has enthused environmentalists who say this should serve as a wake up call to the State Government, which should take a relook at its proposed power projects in the Western Ghats.
Environmental activists have said that the elephant habitat and migratory corridors have been earmarked for destruction in the Shiradi ghats and have called for immediate action to shift the power projects out of the region, which has been identified as one of the biodiversity hotspots in the world. They have pointed out that besides the 200-MW Gundia hydel project, 25 more mini-hydel power projects are proposed to be set up in the Netravati catchment area.
The elephant was sighted near the Kempholey mini-hydel power project site on December 5 at 5.45 p.m. by Niren Jain of the Kudremukh Wildlife Foundation. Mr. Jain, who has photographed the animal, was returning from Hongadahalla after meeting the Expert Appraisal Committee members who are evaluating the demand for environmental clearance for the Gundia project.
The committee has been constituted by the Union Ministry of Environment and Forests.
Mr. Jain said the Shiradi ghats had been severely damaged in the recent years due to the submersion and destruction of the rainforests caused by the establishment of the 18-MW Kempholey mini-hydel project and the construction of the Kadmane mini-hydel project upstream.
While the damage caused to the rainforests due to the laying of a railway line, a national highway and an oil pipeline are irreversible, conservationists feel they can definitely help prevent the ill-conceived location of development projects such as the Gundia and other hydel projects. Praveen Bhargav, trustee, Wildlife First, Bangalore, said the sighting clearly established that elephants were using this area and that disruption to the corridor should be prevented.
The sighting also validated the statement of the Union Minister of State for Environment and Forests Jairam Ramesh that the project around the Gundia project site is ecologically sensitive.
Mature bulls such as this tusker travelled a wide range of areas in the forests alone, Mr. Bhargav said and declined to buy the promises of compensatory afforestation, which he said would not help.

We had a wonderful installer put OKNA 800s into our whole house last fall. He quoted $1800 for a garden window, installed, in our kitchen reno, which is fine. Our contractor came to take a look at the project and I decided to increase the width of the window by 6" (ditch the moldings to get a bigger window that is more centered above our sink base). He quoted $1250ish for a Certainteed window + "several hundred" of labor to redo the framing around the edge. I'm guessing the 6" bigger (42"w) will be a bit more from OKNA. I love the OKNA quality for our house, and am finding only lukewarm thoughts on Certainteed, but are there additional considerations for a garden window that I should look into?
It will certainly be easier to have my contractor do the demo and install as he does the rest of the work, but my gut says I should just get my OKNA guy to come and deal with the slight difficulty of scheduling two guys. |

The Fedral Trade Commission (FTC) are to fine the search giant, Google, $22.4m (around £14.5 million) following a privacy complaint where Google ignored "do not track signals" (dnt) within the Apple Safari web browser. The fine hasn't been finalised but the FTC are "close to agreeing" the fine, and it will be the biggest fine the FTC has ever given a single company.
It's worth noting that Google have said that it was an "unintentional mistake" within it's systems to ignore DNT.
You can read the full story on BBC News here.
What I want to look at is why and how this fine has come to be placed upon Google. DNT as a system, both within web page code and browsers is not yet at an agreed standard, and is actually someway from being so.
That said it appears the original claim has been that Google actually ignored the signals of don't drop cookies, which is the default setting for the Safari browser (which is the default and pre-installed browser on all Apple devices capable of running it).
I am sure the FTC know the difference here, well I'm not as the FTC aren't exactly "with it" for the most part, but to put out press statements saying this is because Google ignore DNT is just wrong and misleading. Such statements leads to bad reporting from lots of media outlets and means that people won't trust DNT as a system once it is implemented and a standard agreed. I am concerned that a gov't body is making these mistakes and even more concerned that they are going to cause issues for implementation going forward.

I'm still in the homesick phase, so I needed some happy. We went to POR to grab a bite to eat since that is my home away from home. Walked all over the grounds and relaxed. It's so dang pretty there. Then stopped to talk to some of Nate's old managers. Next we drove to the Poly and walked the grounds some more...and admired MK from afar. Rode the resort monorail to the TTC then hopped the Epcot monorail just for fun. Did a full loop there and got back to the TTC in time for Wishes. There was a surprisingly fantastic view from there...it was even a front and center view in front of the castle. Walked back to the Poly after that and just got back to the apartment. It was a really enjoyable evening...relaxing and fun, and only thing we paid for was food. Nice.
Now just waiting for sister to get home from work.

The chief executive of Blizzard entertainment has confirmed that the Battle.net online service has been breached with sensitive account data illicitly acquired by an unauthorised user.
[Customers are urged to click the following link to change your Battle.net password.]
In a statement posted on the Blizzard website, Mike Morhaime said: "This week, our security team found an unauthorized and illegal access into our internal network here at Blizzard".
Email addresses for global Battle.net users outside of China have been illegally acquired, the CEO revealed.
Answers to users' personal security questions, as well as information relating to mobile and dial-in authenticators, were also compromised. Scrambled Battle.net passwords for players on North American servers were also captured.
"Based on what we currently know, this information alone is not enough for anyone to gain access to Battle.net accounts," Morhaime insisted.
Users are urged to change their passwords. A mandatory change to security questions is in the pipeline.
"At this time, we've found no evidence that financial information such as credit cards, billing addresses, or real names were compromised. Our investigation is ongoing, but so far nothing suggests that these pieces of information have been accessed," Morhaime added.
The unauthorised access has been closed off.
An FAQ page has been established to help users understand more about the breach. The message from Morhaime can be found here.
Blizzard did not reveal how many user accounts had been affected. The Battle.net service has registered details of more than ten million users, though the total sum is thought to be far more than this.
The service, used for games such as World of Warcraft, Diablo 3 and Starcraft 2, features Secure Remote Password (SRP) protocols to protect passwords.
Morhaime says the technology is designed to make it "extremely difficult" to extract user passwords.
"It also means that each password would have to be deciphered individually," he said.
"As a precaution, however, we recommend that players on North American servers change their password. Moreover, if you have used the same or similar passwords for other purposes, you may want to consider changing those passwords as well.
"In the coming days, we'll be prompting players on North American servers to change their secret questions and answers through an automated process. Additionally, we'll prompt mobile authenticator users to update their authenticator software.
"We take the security of your personal information very seriously, and we are truly sorry that this has happened."

Benchmarks - IXIA IxChariot Throughput
Version and / or Patch Used: 6.70
Developer Homepage: http://www.ixia.com
Product Homepage: http://www.ixiacom.com/products/network_test/applications/
As your company's network and applications become increasingly more complex, network performance becomes mission critical. New applications such as VoIP, video, and enterprise applications, introduce potential network bottlenecks which must be isolated and corrected. IxChariot is the industry's leading network assessment tool allowing you to troubleshoot your networks and applications and get your company's network back on track -and the IxChariot that you already own is the perfect tool for the job.
Test: Linked Pair, Ultra High Performance
We tested the system four ways with IXIA's IxChariot. For the tests, we used the Ultra High Performance Script with a pair of connections. The 10GBase-T to 10GBase-T and 10GBase-T to SPF+ performance were identical results, so you can't see one over the other on the chart.
Our SFP+ to SFP+ test ran on the same system using the main OS installation for the host and a virtual machine as the target; each with a dedicated port on an Intel X520-SR2 network adapter.
The fourth and final test ran on two gigabit Ethernet systems connected to the Netgear ProSAFE XS712T. The performances for all four tests were exactly what we expected to see on this nonblocking switch.

Los Angeles Kings Win First Stanley Cup In Franchise History
Wayne Gretzky, Luc Robitaille, Rob Blake, Marty McSorley; just a few names in a long list of hockey greats that have played for the Los Angeles Kings since their foundation in 1967. With that all-star line up in the archives of basically every Kings record in the books, you'd think the franchise would have a sea of Stanley Cup banners hanging from the rafters of the Staples Center. If you were to ask any Kings fan, they'd tell you the same; it was about time to bring the Stanley Cup to Los Angeles. Kings fans were finally rewarded for their patience this season as their team secured the most coveted prize in all of hockey. Beating the New Jersey Devils in six games, the Los Angeles Kings became the 2011-2012 Stanley Cup Champions.
Entering the Stanley Cup Playoffs as the eighth seed in the Western Conference, the Los Angeles Kings were up against some stiff competition and were a long shot to compete all the way to the final round. The Kings proved all of their critics wrong, going 16-4 through four rounds of the NHL Playoffs, ultimately hoisting the Stanley Cup on their home ice at the Staples Center in Los Angeles, CA. It was a party 45 years in the making and Kings nation could do nothing but savor the taste of victory.
Bob Miller, former Kings player and legendary team announcer has been with the organization for over 39 years. He, along with millions of others, has waited for this championship for decades. While NBC owned the rights to the television broadcast, Miller got the chance to echo Kings fan's sentiments on a radio broadcast.
"This is for you, all the players who have ever worn the Kings uniform and Kings fans wherever you may be," Miller said. "All the frustration and disappointment of the past are gone. The 45-year drought is over. The Los Angeles Kings are indeed the kings of the National Hockey League, the 2012 Stanley Cup champions."
Oakley is a proud participant in the National Hockey League. Many of the league's players don Oakley visors on a daily basis with the confidence that they are protected while playing one of the most dangerous sports in the world. Pucks traveling at rapid speeds, carbon fiber sticks being raised at face level and world-class athletes laying massive hits on one another can create some extremely hazardous situations to the upper body of a hockey player. The Oakley visor is designed to create the highest level of facial protection amidst these dangerous conditions, along with the clearest vision possible. Both of the aforementioned attributes of the Oakley shield are crucial to any NHL player's performance.
Our visor is the only visor that meets and exceeds the demanding ANSI Z87.1 standard for optical clarity. Polaric Ellipsoid™ Geometry provides distortion-free optics through the entire range of vision and a nearly impenetrable barrier for the eyes against on-coming objects. Oakley Visors surpass the ANSI Z87.1 standard for impact resistance and provide shatter-proof protection. Every Oakley Visor is coated with AFR, a specially formulated coating that provides anti-fog and scratch resistance properties to the polycarbonate visor, which ensures unsurpassed clarity and durability in any temperature condition.
Many of the 2012 Stanley Cup Champion Los Angeles Kings chose to wear Oakley visor on their helmets. Drew Doughty, Dustin Brown, Anze Kopitar, Jaret Stoll, Trevor Lewis, Justin Williams, Jordan Nolan, Brad Richardson, Alec Martinez and Scott Parse are just a few of the many National Hockey League members that fans could spot with the Oakley logo on their headgear this season.
We pride ourselves in being a huge part of the National Hockey League and protecting some of the world's greatest players the ice has ever seen. We are also proud of the 2012 Stanley Cup Champion Los Angeles Kings and congratulate them on a fairytale season. Look for the Oakley logo all over the National Hockey League during the upcoming 2012-2013 season.

WEST FARGO, ND, Sep 14, 2011 -- The West Fargo Fire Department will be celebrating the completion of their new fire hall today. Through USDA Rural Development, the project received a $1.5 million loan to construct the 9,000 square foot facility.
"Public safety is a top priority when building safe, thriving communities to live," said Jasper Schneider, USDA Rural Development State Director. "Seconds matter in emergency situations and this new facility will enhance West Fargo's ability to keep residents safe as the city continues to grow."
West Fargo has experienced tremendous growth in recent years as housing and commercial developments expanded south of I-94. This presented new challenges to fire and police services as response times increased, making the need for an additional facility even greater.
The new fire hall has five truck bays, offices and space for future 24 hour staffing. The West Fargo Police Department will also be utilizing the new building as a substation, occupying one bay and some of the office and storage areas.
"This is the culmination of over three years of planning and work by many very dedicated people," said Roy Schatschneider, West Fargo Fire Department Fire Chief. "The Fire Department Board of Directors and Building Committee, City of West Fargo staff, the architect and general contractor, and USDA Rural Development personnel all worked hand in hand to bring this project to a successful completion. This project will serve the citizens of West Fargo well into the future."
The volunteer West Fargo Fire Department, a non-profit corporation, has been operating out of the original fire hall on 106 First Street since 1941. The new, additional facility is located at the intersection of 29th Avenue and Fifth Street West. Currently, the department has three full-time employees and 42 volunteer firefighters. The total project cost is estimated at $1.75 million.

Year on from deadly raid, next Gaza flotilla planned

JERUSALEM (AFP) -- A year after Israeli marines stormed a Gaza-bound aid flotilla, killing nine and drawing worldwide condemnation, Israel finds itself in even deeper diplomatic water.
On May 31 2010, troops staged a pre-dawn raid on six ships in international waters seeking to break Israel's illegal naval blockade on the Hamas-run Gaza Strip. The attack plunged Israel's already cool relationship with Ankara into crisis.
Eight Turkish nationals and one Turkish-American national were killed during the raid.
The bloodshed provoked worldwide condemnation and played a major role in deepening Israel's isolation on the international stage.
One year on, and with the relationship with Turkey still ice-bound, Israel is facing another potential crisis as a second "Freedom Flotilla" -- this time comprising 15 ships -- prepares to sail for the tiny Palestinian enclave at the end of June.
IHH, the Istanbul-based Islamist charity that spearheaded the 2010 mission, says around 1,500 activists from more than 100 countries will participate in the fresh attempt to break the naval blockade on Gaza that Israel imposed in 2006.
The flagship Mavi Marmara, a passenger ferry that was the scene of the bloodiest confrontations last year, will also take part in the new venture.
"If you have a bit of conscience, you have to allow this second fleet," IHH head Bulent Yildirim said earlier this month.
"Otherwise, everything you do will turn against you."
Last year's debacle, which ended up forcing Israel to ease its siege on Gaza, was seized upon by pro-Palestinian activists as an effective way of putting pressure on Israel.
Since then, there have been a number of copycat attempts to reach Gaza.
The latest was just two weeks ago, when Israeli forces fired warning shots toward a Malaysian aid ship as it approached Gaza, forcing the vessel to retreat to Egypt.
Turkey, which is still demanding that Israel apologize and compensate the victims' families for last May's bloodshed, has warned Tel Aviv against using force against the new flotilla.
"It should be known that Turkey will give the necessary response to any repeated act of provocation by Israel on the high seas," Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu told Turkey's NTV television.
Israel sees attempts to breach the naval blockade as political rather than genuinely humanitarian. It has repeatedly offered to transfer any bona fide aid shipments directly to Gaza -- as long as it can inspect the cargo to prevent arms smuggling to Hamas and other militant groups.
"The idea of another flotilla is both unnecessary and a provocation and we've called upon all fair-minded governments to do what they can to prevent another such occurrence," Mark Regev, spokesman for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, told AFP.
"Israel will continue to make sure, to the best of our ability, that the only cargo that reaches Gaza has been inspected to ensure that it does not contain weaponry," he said.
The cargo of the aid ships is inspected by customs officials in the countries whose ports the vessels depart from, and carry certificates to that effect.
On Saturday, Egypt reopened its Rafah border crossing with Gaza, allowing people - except men between 18-40 - to cross freely for the first time in four years, a move hailed by Hamas but criticized by Israel.
Israel imposed a tight blockade on Gaza in June 2006 after militants there snatched Israeli soldier Gilad Shalit, who is still being held.
It was tightened a year later when Hamas seized control of the territory, but the wave of international pressure that followed the flotilla debacle forced Israel to ease some restrictions.
For Israel, the arrival of a new flotilla is part of a broader Palestinian strategy that seeks to chip away at Israel's legitimacy on the international stage.

The Egyptian Raphia border crossing is definitely open, and
the "Freedom Flotillas" will definitely NOT REACH GAZA,
so the IHH goal is clearly NOT ABOUT BRINGING AID,
and clearly JUST TO PROVOKE another round of VIOLENCE !!!!
