Roxas sardine processors upgrading thru RFLP assistance
2 April 2012 - Twenty-five rural women are expected to benefit from an initiative to improve bottled sardines production in Barangay Dohinob, Roxas, in the Philippines' Zamboanga del Norte province.
RLFP has supported the Roxas Sardines Livelihood Association (RSLA) by providing production inputs and training on fish drying and processing of dried fish in bottles.
RFLP's assistance aims to increase the household income of association members venturing into dried fish production. It also seeks to maximize production by venturing into fish drying especially during lean months. The project will furthermore complement the newly-run bottled sardines processing project of the association.
RFLP National Project Director Benjamin Francisco pledged continuous assistance and support to the project. He advised the officers and members to make use of the equipment properly in order to sustain it.
Francisco challenged the women's group, "To ensure continuous supply of raw materials, you must be vigilant in protecting and conserving the fishery resources, particularly sardines. That is key to make this venture sustainable."
This project started in 2009 through the support of the Congressional Office of House Representative Rosendo Labadlabad of the 2nd District of Zamboanga del Norte with the establishment of a processing facility and provision of basic equipment and utensils for sardine bottling. The Barangay Council of Dohinob, Roxas donated the lot intended for the building. In 2011, the Department of Labor and Employment provided financial assistance in the form of equipment and tools for the enhancement of the same. This year, the Department of Trade and Industry will also provide training for members in order to sustain the project. Training like skills enhancement, value addition, Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP), good housekeeping, entrepreneurship and financial management will also be provided to the members.
House Representative Labadlabad emphasized, "This facility is open to the constituencies of Roxas town as a common service facility to benefit the broader community. I am entrusting the project to RSLA as I can see how capable they are to manage and their commitment to improve and sustain the same."
Angelita Renquijo, RSLA President, expressed the association's gratitude to RFLP for the technical assistance which they will receive through training in fish drying and processing of dried fish in bottles. She promised to improve and sustain the project so it can benefit other community members as well.
Members of this association previously received training from RFLP on making bottled sardines in response to a request made by the Food and Nutrition Institute of the Department of Science and Technology (FNRI-DOST) and the Municipal Agriculture Office.
RSLA is now producing Spanish-style bottled sardines and will add a new variant, dried sardines in bottles following RFLP's training.
Virgilio Alforque, RFLP Institutional Development Specialist noted, "This initiative highlights the multi-stakeholder partnership and convergence strategy RFLP employs through collaborative engagements with national government agencies and other donors."

[1954] Surfactant Deficiency Disorders: Review of Histopathologic and Ultrastructural Features.
John Hicks, Claire Langston, Eric Wartchow, Gary Mierau. Texas Children's Hospital & Baylor College of Medicine, Houston; The Children's Hospital, Denver, CO
Background: Surfactant is comprised of phospholipids and proteins packaged in lamellar bodies and secreted by alveolar type II pneumocytes. There are 4 surfactant-associated proteins (SP-A, SP-B, SP-C, SP-D) and a phospholipid transporter (ABCA3). SP-B, SP-C and ABCA3 gene mutations are associated with respiratory disease in children.
Design: 2 pediatric hospital archives identified 29 patients with surfactant deficiencies (2 SP-B, 11 SP-C, 16 ABCA3). Clinical features for SP-B deficiency were respiratory distress (RDS) shortly after birth requiring mechanical ventilation, and chest radiograph with diffuse haziness and air bronchograms. Clinical features of SP-C deficiency were variable. Some presented in the newborn period with RDS, indistinguishable from SP-B. Others presented in infancy and early childhood with gradual onset of respiratory insufficiency, hypoxemia, failure to thrive and interstitial lung disease. ABCA3 deficiency typically presented in the newborn period with RDS. Lung biopsies were performed and evaluated by routine histologic and electron microscopic (EM) techniques.
Results: SP-B deficiency showed alveolar wall widening without inflammation, mild to moderate alveolar epithelial hyperplasia, mild PAS positive intra-alveolar material, increased airspace macrophages, mild to minimal alveolar proteinosis, and no remodeling. EM showed lack of tubular myelin, disorganized lamellar bodies and irregular multivesicular bodies. SP-C deficiency shared features with chronic pneumonitis of infancy, lipoid pneumonia and cholesterol pneumonia, with alveolar wall widening with prominent alveolar epithelial hyperplasia, increased structural cells, mild chronic inflammation, and PAS positive globules, macrophages, eosinophils and cholesterol clefts in alveolar spaces. EM showed normal lamellar bodies and infrequent disorganized lamellar bodies. ABCA3 deficiency showed features overlapping with desquamative interstitial pneumonitis, pulmonary alveolar proteinosis, and nonspecific interstitial pneumonitis, with lobular remodeling, increased alveolar macrophages, pneumocyte hyperplasia, alveolar proteinosis (neonates and infants) and cholesterol clefts. EM showed small lamellar-like bodies with concentric phospholipid membranes and eccentric dense cores.
Conclusions: Ultrastructural findings associated with lamellar body formation in SP-B and ABCA3 are distinctive and distinguish these conditions from SP-C. These findings may guide genetic testing for the specific mutation responsible for the child's underlying respiratory disease.

SACRAMENTO, Calif. - A ticket sold in Anaheim matched all six numbers drawn for the multistate Mega Millions game, which had a jackpot of $315 million.
"We will eagerly look forward to the winner making themselves known. It's just a waiting game at this point," Melissa Meith, acting director for the California State Lottery, said after Tuesday's drawing.
The winning ticket was purchased at Rainbow Water & Flowers and Gifts. The store owner will receive $1 million for selling the winning ticket, according to the California lottery Web site.
Calls to the store were not immediately answered early Wednesday morning.
The numbers drawn Tuesday night were: 2-4-5-40-48; Mega Ball 7.
Just last month, an Oregon family claimed the largest jackpot in U.S. lottery history won by a single ticket, $340 million. The numbers were drawn Oct. 19 in the other big multistate lottery, Powerball. Until then, the richest undivided lottery jackpot in U.S. history was the $314.9 million Powerball jackpot won by a West Virginia man on Christmas Day 2002.
On May 9, 2000, the jackpot for the Big Game - the forerunner of Mega Millions - grew to $363 million. But that record amount wound up being split between two winning tickets.
In addition to the grand prize winner, 19 players matched all five numbers but not the Mega Ball number. They will receive second prizes of $250,000 each.
An additional 158 players matched four numbers, plus the Mega Ball number - good for third prizes of $10,000 each.
In addition to California, Mega Millions is played in Georgia, Illinois, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Texas, Virginia and Washington.

I could see the 10ft rule being an issue if you're bubble boy. I like t-shirts that promote conversation and interaction. Nazareth I consider more 70s. If I went with the 70s I would have used it and America. If I was going to add another band from the 80s, I thought about Alabama.

kevlar51 wrote:Ukraine is nice to own if you can somehow manage to control Asia--fewer spots to build up your army. But trying to hold Asia is usually a fool's errand. Personally, I think the same about Europe--way too many spots to defend. My personal strategy (if practical) is to capture Australia as soon as possible. If you can build up there early enough, people tend to ignore you since you're out of the way. But it's a nice way to get an extra two armies every turn and it's easy to defend since there's only one way in.
Last Risk post - I've never seen anyone really control Asia until it was just down to 2. And at that point, it's usually just two Conglomerations of Death (my term for the massive armies that accumulate on one territory towards the end of the game). I've never decided if I agree with the Australia strategy. True, it's easy to defend, but what's your next move? Waiting for others to fight it out? Because it's not like you're gonna take over Asia anytime soon. I'll always go for North America if I can get it, and if not, South America/Africa combined. Seriously, please let this shirt print.

Nice design, fast delivery.
Majestic Connection Save the Date Cards I love the design and the fast delivery. However, I was a little shocked at how small the cards were. Maybe it's me but I was assuming they would be regular 5x7. But overall, I was pleased with my save-the-date cards.
Simply Smitten Save the Date Cards I am so pleased with our Save the Date cards we recently received! They are beautifully printed and came very nicely packed in a convenient box (that I am now using to store all my invitation "supplies"). The option to personalize each design with our own colors and style was awesome! So happy and would recommend Magnet Street to any bride!!
Love the simplicity!
Simply Smitten Save the Date Cards So classy! you'll never regret staying classy and not trendy! We got the same save the date! Enjoy your planning!
Simply Smitten Save the Date Cards Everything was beautiful and the shipping was very quick! I am very impressed with the final product.
Awesome Card Layout
Love is Sweet Save the Date Cards Hi there, I was super excited to receive the classic card. I love the colour of background and most picture I chose to insert into the template turned out great. One picture seemed a little dark- and it looked brighter on my computer screen. Also, the bottom left portion of the card didn't seem to be printed correctly or cut correctly because the photo didn't go right to the edge...there was white. About 3/4 of the cards had this issue, the other 1/4 were perfect. So I had to use a paper cutter and cut off the white of each card so that picture edge looked like all of the other edges on the card.

Okay, I read a whole bunch of stuff on the forum about picking the right lights and tubes for seedlings and I'm more confused than ever! It looks like I will have to put some major time into untangling the mess I've created in my head. But for now, since I want to get started this weekend, I'm in desparate need of some REALLY, REALLY, dumbed-down basic advice.
I just need enough light for tomatoes and pepper seedlings on a single 4ft shelf. I'll hang it from the ceiling with chains. 1 fixture or 2?
Sorry, I really am interested in wavelengths, lumens, light meters and all that stuff, but right now I just need some really quick help. Gotta go. Thanks
Follow-Up Postings:
Jerry, I'm just a woman with a few hundred germinated seeds and I have a 4 tier mini-greenhouse that has cheap Walmart grow lights (7.59) in it. I realize that there are lots of bigger, better, more and totally over my head lights and methods but if you want simple this is what I have. Cindy |
Cindy, That's an interesting setup. Where did you get the cart? And the plastic cover? Is it 36" or 32" wide? Also, why are all the plants sitting on inverted pots? To get them away from the heat of the lamps? Maybe I should do something like that. Can't believe the Walmart lights were only $7.59! Replacement bulbs must be pretty cheap, too? Thanks |
<<1 fixture or 2?>> Depends how wide your shelf is. If it's one foot wide or less, one fixture. If it's two feet wide, two fixtures. In between, either is OK but more is always better. If you can put your shelf next to a window for added light, even better! < Buy cheap shop lights. You're only going to need them for a few months per year. You can buy ones that have reflectors. < < Hope that helps! Good luck! |
Jerry, The plants in Cindy's setup are elevated to get them closer to the lights. It looks like the lights are fastened to the shelves, not hanging on chains, and if you can't lower the lights, you have to elevate the plants. You can rig a setup similar to Cindy's with shelving units and shop lights from Sam's Club, Lowe's, Home Depot, etc. I don't think you need the plastic cover unless the unit is outdoors and frost threatens. It's nice little greenhouse. |
Jerry, I bought the mini-greenhouse at Lowe's for $50.00 but FarmTek has the same thing on sale for $27.95. I have the lights wired to the bottom of the shelf above and prop up the seedlings with whatever is handy to get them close to the light. It's something I learned to do on this forum and it is making a big difference. I don't know if the cover is necessary but it seems to work well in my case. Mine is set up is in my heated sunroom. I think it is about 30" wide and about 18" deep. I like that it doesn't take up much floor space but I can get a lot of stuff in there. |

Cindy, I got the same mini greenhouse as a christmas prsent, or one very similar. I have it outdoors, a bit like a cold frame, its keeping my pot ghetto tidy. Maybe I'll use it for cacti in the summer. No lights. Jerry, I'd go with two bulbs or four, however many you can fit into the width of the seed trays you want under there. You are unlikely to ever have too much light for tomatoes and peppers, especially when the tomatoes get to be a foot high! A warm bulb has a reddish light and a cool bulb has a more bluish light. You'd never notice most of the time, but put them next to eachother and you'll see the difference. There are lots of tubes with deluxe in the name and they are generally good for plants. Use just cool white deluxe or daylight deluxe tubes if they are a sensible price, otherwise use a mix of cool white and warm white. T8 bulbs are often a bit more efficient than T12, but you might have trouble getting them in 48" lengths and higher powers. Longer tubes are more efficient. You should be looking for 48" 40W bulbs. You can get more powerful bulbs, but they tend to be specialty items and can cost a lot more. Four 40W bulbs will nicely light a 4'x2' area for your seedlings. |

Jerry, Simple Answer: If you don't plan on overdriving them you may want to use two fixtures. (depends on how wide the shelf is) You can't burn down your house by Overdriving. Either it will light up or it won't. Reflectors, YES!!! Shoplight. Best Bet would be Commercial Electric at Home Depot for $7.94 I believe it is the red box....mmmm....maybe the grey one. Use T8 bulbs cool white; 3.95 for a two pack. All 4ft T8's are 32WATTS I believe this is all you need. Lightmaster -j- "Jerry" |

Jerry, All of the above is good advice. However, in case you are still confused with all the talk about warm vs. cool lights which was also very confusing to me when I set out to find some lights, as you want find the word warm written on any of the light bulb packages. However after much study and inquiry, I went to Home Depot bought the cheap shop lights for 7 or 8 dollars with electronic ballast written on the box. Make sure it says electronic ballast or it will not work as well over time. As for the 48" bulbs to put in the shop light, I look for a number followed by the letter K which will be listed somewhere on the lightbulb package, 4100k, 5000k, 5600k etc. somebody correct me if I am wrong but it is my understanding that any bulb with a number written on the box over 4100k will grow tomato and pepper plants big enough to set them outside.. If the lights do not have a 4100k or higher number written on the box, I keep looking until I find one that does. |
I'm not sure that cheap electronic ballasts last over time any better than the older style magnetic ones. I've killed off several electronic ones in a matter of months, but some have lasted for years. Of course, I do tend to dribble water around a lot... |

--I'm not sure that cheap electronic ballasts last over time any better than the older style magnetic ones. I've killed off several electronic ones in a matter of months, but some have lasted for years. Of course, I do tend to dribble water around a lot...-- Are you using fixtures like Lights of America, or any that have ballasts on each end? If so, you wasted your money! -j- |
I was confused and in a hurry, too, as my seedlings were coming up and we are having a dark, cold spring --- I found the FAQ at the starting from seed forum to be very helpful regarding lights. Maybe the administrator could link to that or ask to use it over here. Just got back from Lowe's with all the stuff to make my grow lights. Thanks for all the advice, folks, and I'll be back for more, I'm sure. |

Frequently asked questions about Accessibility Processing:
How Important is Accessible Web Content?
Accessible web content is very important because it benefits and affects everyone!
Having accessible web content benefits all viewers who access your materials, not just DSS students!
- Different learning styles benefit from having accessible documents/content and all users will greatly appreciate having multiple ways of accessing your content's information.
- Mobile devices that might not completely load the original form of a document or site benefit greatly from accessible content.
- The success of a website depends on accessibility and usability! Creating highly-accessible, universal designs that can be viewed in as many ways as possible is critical to the success of a website
What are the benefits of accessible content?
There are many benefits to accessible content - the main goal of accessible content is that all readers are able to access, navigate, and understand content posted online. These goals apply to all viewers, not just ones with special needs, and come particularly helpful if your content is being used on a mobile device.
If I do not have a DSS student in my course, do I still need to make my content accessible?
If your site is accessible publicly online, then you still need to make your content accessible. Public online content can be accessed by anyone and ultimately should be prepared to be as accessible as physically possible. Legally, all university-affiliated, public-access websites need to be made accessible; failing to do so could result in a lawsuit.
If you do not have a DSS Student and are teaching within a Cougar Course environment you do not need to make your content accessible. Though accessibility is not required, having your course processed to be accessible will be beneficial, especially if any students within your class(es) do not self identify as having a disability or use mobile devices to access your content.
Can anyone have their course(s)/site(s) checked for accessibility?
Yes, as long as the sites being submitted are university affiliated, anyone can submit their content to be checked for accessibility.
What kinds of things are being looked at/makes a site accessible?
Many elements are considered when making a site accessible such as: headers, alternative text on images, marked tables, layout design, color choices, captions on videos (if applicable), and coding elements.
If you have questions or concerns that are not addressed on this page, please contact: firstname.lastname@example.com.

I just purchased a Chefmate oval enamelled (sp?) cast iron Dutch Oven from Target for $40. It sure does look like Le Crueset. Has anyone had any experience with the Chefmate? |
Follow-Up Postings:
Nope....but i'll bet it's just fine! I have given my daughter and DIL Le Cruset wannabe's and they are fine! And even if they are not quite as long wearing as Le Cruset.....for 40 bucks....how bad can it be? You'll love it! Linda C |
I have no cooking experience with the Chefmate, however, I was buzzing through Target the other day and there was a display on an end cap which I came to an abrupt halt to look at. It looked nice, felt nice and I think you made a good purchase! |
I bought a chefmate chef's knife at Target about six years ago. We had just bought a lake cabin and I needed to stock it for cooking but couldn't afford to duplicate all the same stuff I have at home. I was surprised at how much I liked this knife - I'm still using it though I could have bought something else by now. It works great and has held up well. |

I like Chefmate stuff. I have that enameled cast iron pan too--it's a great bean pot. I also have the Chefmate cookware set with the copper bottom--cost me $70. Great stuff. Only complaint I have is that the lids aren't domed, so if you want to steam vegetables you have to use the big 4-1/2 quart pot. Other than that they're great. Take a licking and keep on ticking. |

We are delighted to announce the blurb for White Lies, the fantastic debut novel by Jo Gatford. The book was the winner of the 2013 Luke Bitmead Bursary and will be published by Legend Press on 1st July 2014.
We're similar, he and I, for the first time – all the symptoms of grief with none of the emotion. It's not that it doesn't hurt; I just haven't worked out how to mourn someone I hated.
When Matt's half-brother Alex dies, his father refuses to hold onto the memory of his favourite son's death. It was hard enough the first time, but breaking his dad's heart on a weekly basis is more than Matt can bear.
Peter, Matt's father, is terrified his dementia will let slip the secrets he's kept for thirty-five years. Unable to distinguish between memory and delusion, he pursues one question through the maze of his mind: Where's Alex?
Faced with the imminent loss of his father, Matt is running out of time to discover the truth about his family. Tortured by his failing memory, Peter realises that it's not just the dementia threatening to open his box of secrets, but his conscience, too.

Two Rockets Fired on Mand Telephone Exchange
MAND, TURBAT: At least two rockets were fired on a telephone exchange administered by the Pakistan Telecommunication Limited (PTCL) in Pak-Iran border town of Mand in Turbat District on Monday, authorities said.
The attack was carried out by unidentified persons who managed to escape after firing two rockets. Local sources said the rockets fell in the open air and did not cause any damage to public life or the official infrastructure. Local law enforcement personnel retaliated soon after hearing the bang caused by the rocket attacks but the attackers had fled by that time.
Official said they were further investigating the attack. No group has accepted responsibility for the incident.

It sure does look like Sapsucker damage. I didn't realize that they would hit trees that are that small. |
I've already covered the tree trunk with metal screen. Now I have to watch to see if the miscreant decides to pick another tree. If it does it might be time for the BB gun. |
I'd put a hole in the back of the sapsucker's head about the same size as the ones he put in that tree. Unreal, apparently they cant just stick to POS white pines. |

Netflix Spotlight: Super Why!
I'm not a huge fan of most television programs for toddlers and preschoolers, but Super Why! is definitely worth a look if you're searching for shows to entertain kids ages 2 to 6.
This show follows a cast of fairy tale characters as they look for answers to common problems by magically jumping into different books and taking part in the story.
The main reason I love this show is that it was wonderful to use as a starting point for getting my son really excited about learning to read.
When he saw the characters looking to books for the answers to the problems they encountered in their lives, he started making connections between his favorite stories and his own daily activities.
He's in second grade now, but I really do think watching Super Why! and making the transition from viewing books as bedtime stories to seeing them as a broader part of life is part of the reason why he's such an avid reader.
Another thing I really like about Super Why!, compared to some of the other shows for young children, is that it appeals equally to both boys and girls.
When he was younger, my son loved Whyatt's alter ego, Super Why. Princess Pea satisfies the girls who love to play dress up, while Wonder Red is more of a tomboy. Pig provides comic relief for both boys and girls.
Netflix has 64 episodes of Super Why! available for instant streaming. All of the episodes are 27 or 28 minutes long, which makes them perfect for keeping your kiddos occupied when you're busy making dinner or trying to get the laundry monster back under control.

Homeland Security Grant for Dispatch Software
We have been awarded a grant of $30,000 from the state's Homeland Security Grant Program for new Emergency Medical Dispatch ProQA software. I request council approval to accept this grant and purchase the new software from Priority Dispatch.
Police department dispatchers currently use a manual card system when performing the emergency medical dispatch function. The dispatcher pages through the manual card system until the proper page is reached that describes the patients symptoms and then issues patient care instructions until EMT's arrive on scene. The ProQA software computerizes the card system allowing dispatchers to find the appropriate care instructions quickly, move through them as conditions change with a keystroke and it generates a very accurate record of the incident. The record is incorporated into a quality improvement component that will automate our entire emergency medical dispatch case review process. This will help us to pinpoint specific training needs and liability risks. The new software will also aide with many tasks such as data entry, compliance scoring, record keeping and reporting.

I am trying to decide which purple Austin to get this year. I am looking at munstead wood, William Shakespeare 2000, The prince, or wise Portia. How do these rank with everyone regarding general health, blooming, black spot, and fragrance. (pics r nice :-) to) |
Follow-Up Postings:
- Posted by Strawberryhill 5a IL (My Page) on Sun, Mar 4, 12 at 18:31
I have Wise Portia and W.S. 2000, and I'm debating on getting the Prince (if it likes partial shade and alkaline soil). Wise Portia likes my wet alkaline soil - W.S. 2000 doesn't. Wise Portia flower is small, but the repeat is excellent. W.S. is nicer looking, but he doesn't do well own-root in my alkaline soil. |
Whoops forgot to add tradescant and prosperous. Grace e |
'The Prince' is best for fragrance, but lacks vigor and needs TLC. 'Prospero' has no fragrance but good repeat. It dislikes pruning. 'Tradescant' has been good here. WS2K has an odd growth habit, low and wide here, but largest flowers and some fragrance. All of the above repeat regularly here. The last two are larger plants, the first two are smaller. BS resistance unknown. Best fragrance is 'The Prince', and it is the most purple-y. |
- Posted by caldonbeck none (My Page) on Sun, Mar 4, 12 at 19:38
Will shakespeare more a red than purple. Munstead Wood is probably the healthiest. Never seen even so much as a blemish on it. The prince here is small, but apparently big over there. WS200 can throw up some big long canes. I have got a tradescant but it's new so hasn't flowered. I have also put a pic of Falstaff on for you to look at. Pics below: |
- Posted by Strawberryhill 5a IL (My Page) on Mon, Mar 5, 12 at 10:21
Thank you, Caldonbeck, for those gorgeous pics. They help a lot! HMF should have more bush pictures like yours so users can see foliage, growth habit, and flowers. I wonder what's that pretty yellow bush next to W.S.2000? Your roses are very healthy and compact. My kid sat my lap last night to tell me that she doesn't like thorny roses, dark purple, and esp. no ruffles - so the Prince is out. Thank you for posting those pics. |
The Austin reds are wonderful roses, love 'em. I love the fragrance of William Shakespeare 2000, perhaps my favorite Austin red for its sweet fragrance. The Austins get blackspot in my no-spray garden, but this does not diminish blooming. The Prince is a compact grower here, but beautiful and sturdy. Strong fragrance and the blooms are really velvety. Tradescant is lovely as well, dark red blooms that age to purple. |
- Posted by caldonbeck none (My Page) on Mon, Mar 5, 12 at 16:15
The yellow behind Will Shakespeare is Golden Celebration. |
- Posted by mariannese 5b (My Page) on Tue, Mar 6, 12 at 5:31
Munstead Wood is all the rage in Sweden at present. "Everybody" grows it and raves about it. I have ordered one for spring delivery, my first Austin since Abraham Darby died, my latest among the only three Austins I have grown. |
- Posted by aimeekitty 9-10, SW 18 (My Page) on Tue, Mar 6, 12 at 10:48
I have my Prince in a little bit of shade, it's really more like very bright shade. it gets some sun, but not all day sun. I find that so far it's doing really well there and has grown pretty well and bloomed. It's only about 3 years old though. It's kind of a thinner habit (i.e. more upright than wide) I've had a lot of trouble, however with WS2k. I bought two, planted near each other, both languished. They leafed out but didn't grow. They bloomed, but often would have vegetative centers. And then about a year later, one of them completely died. The other is still about the same size as it was 2 years ago, and doesn't seem to want to die, but doesn't seem to want to grow much either. While about 3 or 4 feet away James Galway cl, Alchemist, Sombreiul and Eden cl are growing like gangbusters. I'm a beginning rose person, so take what I say with a grain of salt. :\ |
Munstead Wood is my favorite dark red Austin. (I don't see it as purple.) With this rose, he finally got it exactly right -- color, fragrance, superb repeat, attractive shrub form, and excellent health, at least that is so here in California. I have also grown The Prince (okay here, and pretty, but iffy in many climates), Prospero (small and pretty, reasonably disease resistant, but never robust), and a grafted WSII (healthy here, but octopus tentacles I did not enjoy managing). My soil is alkaline, so perhaps being grafted was good for WSII. I had not noticed any problems with it. MW is a smaller rose but is noticeably more robust than Prospero, which frankly often seems to me to be a feeble little thing. I'm trying to not prune it much, which Jeri Jennings has recommended, but If I just take off dead material it seems as if I've already done quite a bit of pruning. Perhaps it needs feeding up like a fashionably starved actress. Most of my roses get a yearly fertilizing in the spring topped by generous mulch, some years composted horse manure as well, and that is it. Rosefolly |
I thought The Prince was a splendid rose, but I had it in CA, hot and dry. It can tolerate alkilinity. The growth habit is like a bushy HT, with splendid purple flowers held upright on strong stems. No weak stems on this one. It is allegedly hardy to about zone 4, but I have not seen it or tried it in NY. |
Both 'Tradescant' and 'The Prince' Blackspot to the point of total defoliation in my experience. 'Prospero' ain't much better, and is a weak grower to boot. 'William Shakespeare 2000' is far better than many other "reds" by Austin, but not perfectly clean all the time. After that one was introduced, I stopped buying any new Austins because in my garden, not one of 'em has what I would call acceptable resistance to Blackspot. Many are downright martyrs to disease. However, there's always 'Mrs Doreen Pike', but that one requires patience to get established. (and its not purple) |
- Posted by caldonbeck UK (My Page) on Tue, Mar 6, 12 at 22:45
Will Shakespeare was one of my first roses, I had two and killed them both - have mastered him now though!! I do think Munstead Wood is his best rose for a good while, second only maybe to Princess Alexandra of Kent but that is pink not purple. |
- Posted by Strawberryhill 5a IL (My Page) on Tue, Mar 13, 12 at 15:17
Hi Caldonbeck: How did you master William Shakespeare? I might have to move him to full sun. My 5a zone, Chicagoland is gloomy, so I have just ordered "The Prince" thanks to the pics. that you and Krista posted. Hopefully The Prince likes my partial shade location more than William Shakespeare. Thanks, Nastarana, for the info. that The Prince tolerates alkaline soil. One more question for Caldonbeck: How do you keep Golden Celebration short and bushy? I wonder how do you feed your roses to get such good result? I keep chopping Golden Cel. down but it wants to climb. I'm reluctant to give Golden Cel. nitrogen fertilizer for fear of octopus arms shooting all over. |
The only one I have is Will Shakespeare and I think it is an awesome rose. Mine is own root - going on third summer, so I'm hoping for a breakout year. It laughs at blackspot in my garden. Blooms change color over the summer. Start deep red/purple and get more fuchsia. Blooms are not huge, but that may be because it started small on its own root and is still a young plant. |
- Posted by caldonbeck UK (My Page) on Tue, Mar 13, 12 at 19:13
Hi, I give the roses Tomorite, a tomato fertiliser which is low nitrogen. When I switched to that is when Wills started to do better. I still give them a spring feed but for the rest of the year it's tomorite. |
- Posted by Strawberryhill 5a IL (My Page) on Wed, Mar 14, 12 at 9:41
Thanks for the great tip, Caldonbeck. I think I put too much alfalfa meal NPK of 2-1-2 in Will's planting hole. The rose park nearby uses high phosphorus fertilizer on their roses, all are compact and loaded with blooms except for Austins who went wild and crazy, but with few blooms. I'll make sure to use low-nitrogen on my Austins so they don't throw long arms. |
well, the only non blackspotting austin I have come across in this colour range is the hybrid rugosa, Wild Edric. Slow to get going but a good healthy rose (which is more than can be said for most austins, especially in the red'purple range). As you may have guessed, not a huge fan of DA roses. |
- Posted by caldonbeck UK (My Page) on Wed, Mar 14, 12 at 19:23
Well I have 40 odd of them and I have no blackspot. |
- Posted by Strawberryhill 5a IL (My Page) on Thu, Mar 15, 12 at 9:48
I have 10 Austins and zero blackspots. We had a wettest summer, 49" of rain. Eglantyne came in the mail badly blackspotted and spider-mited. She cleared up when I mulched with horse manure and dusted with WHOLEGRAIN cornmeal. I wiped out the spider-mited branch with 97% alcohol. The lime in the horse manure is a potent fungicide. I don't use bark mulch since it retains moisture too long after a prolonged rain and breed all sorts of utterly gross mushrooms. There's a big pile of free bark mulch within walking distance, but I'm not getting any. |
- Posted by teka2rjleffel z10FL (My Page) on Thu, Mar 15, 12 at 19:06
In my climate the darker roses aren't. The Dark Lady and Wise Portia are both fuschia. |
- Posted by caldonbeck UK (My Page) on Thu, Mar 15, 12 at 20:40
Wise portia is Magenta - The Dark Lady is a brightish red. Neither are what I would call purple. |
- Posted by daisyincrete 10? (My Page) on Sat, Mar 17, 12 at 5:03
The only one of these that I grow is William Shakespeare 2000. It is under the apricot tree. The blooms that open in the shade of the apricot tree are fine, but the ones that reach out into the sun, get a bit crisped. I would love to try Munstead Wood, but I am running out of shade space. Daisy The colour is just a little deeper than my camera shows. |
- Posted by Strawberryhill 5a IL (My Page) on Sat, Mar 17, 12 at 9:48
Hi Daisy: how can I thank you enough for giving us the most delicious pictures of your garden? It's like a view to another paradise. I love your pics. of Willie. I run out of sun here, so I kill Knock-out roses to get more sunny space. Last year was our wettest year, lots of rain and little sun. My neighbor was diagnosed with vitamin D deficiency (he's always outside doing something). I was also diagnosed with vitamin D deficiency last month, our winter is long and gloomy. I pay money for the 50,000 IU vitamin D dosage, while you are getting that free from the sun over there. One more reason for gardening, considering the risks of vitamin D deficiency: backpain, diabetes, cancer, MS, and asthma in children. |

Landmark Domestic Violence Documentary Short to Premiere at DOC NYC
THE CHILDREN NEXT DOOR, a documentary short about domestic violence as seen through the eyes of a child, will hold its New York City premiere on November 12th at DOC NYC, the world renowned documentary film festival. This documentary is the first of its kind, as it recounts the fear and pain of domestic violence from the child's perspective. The film was sponsored by Children of Domestic Violence, a nonprofit organization focused on building awareness and helping those who experience domestic violence as children reach their full potential and break the cycle of violence.
THE CHILDREN NEXT DOOR takes us on a young family's journey to discover the solution to end a reoccurring cycle of violence and the truth that lies beneath. Raised in Tennessee households fraught with domestic violence, Penny and Brad vowed when they fell in love to end the cycle. A ten-year marriage plagued by waves of mounting violence, all in front of their four children, culminated on one horrific day. The film opens five and a half years later, as the family continues to struggle with the impact of the violence that shaped their lives. Within three short months, an astonishing turn of events forces Chelsea, the oldest child, and her mother to confront some tough truths about the past. In facing them, Chelsea begins to find an inner strength and see her true potential. View the trailer here.
Childhood domestic violence is domestic violence that takes place when children are present. UNICEF calls it, "one of the most damaging unaddressed human rights violations in the world today." 40 million U.S. adults experienced childhood domestic violence and the five million children who experience it each year are three times more likely to repeat what they learned as adults. More than half of all children who experience domestic violence are being raised by a parent who was a child of domestic violence.
"One of our greatest challenges in the fight against childhood domestic violence is a lack of public awareness," said Brian F. Martin, Founder and CEO of Children of Domestic Violence. "Childhood domestic violence is possible because it is a secret. As soon as it is revealed, collectively we can intervene to stop it. The Children Next Door addresses it head on and has the power to open a dialogue about a silent problem affecting millions of people around the world. It is imperative that when thinking about domestic violence, we think equally of the children that are present in these homes."
Producer Lynda Hansen and Director Doug Block worked closely with Children of Domestic Violence throughout the production process. Premiering on the heels of Domestic Violence Awareness Month, The Children Next Door serves to focus the dialogue on the children that are so often present when violence occurs in the home.
About Children of Domestic Violence:
Children of Domestic Violence works to end the cycle of childhood domestic violence. It is the only organization that focuses specifically on the effects that CDV can have on individuals and society as a whole. By focusing on the childhood experience, CDV is able to bring positive change to those impacted and help them realize their true potential. Learn more at www.cdv.org.

Does something happen to men at a certain age?
DH has turned into a pig. Particularly annoying are his table manners. The weird noises, the way he shovels his food. There are no physical reasons I'm aware of, no new false teeth or anything. I know people's behaviour changes when you've been together for a while. One of the nice things about being together so long is you feel comfortable with each other and you don't obsess about your presentation, does your rear look big in that skirt, is there food stuck in your teeth, is your perfume/aftershave too overpowering, why did you have to get a zit just in time for the big date. We've been together a long time and have been in that comfortable stage for a long time. And though we don't obsess we used to have a certain level of behaviour and dress. Then DH hit middle age and something changed. I know there can be worse changes but I still wonder what happened. |

Nothing like that happened to my husband... but we have only been married 26 years (no false teeth, etc like you mention). If anything, his table manners have improved as we are able to afford nicer restaurants now! |
Are you sure it's him? ...and not just that you're finding these things more irritating than in the past? If a gentle reminder doesn't help, it could be a sign that it's time for a thorough medical checkup. |
Gentle reminder, you say Sweeby. How can you gently remind someone that they are turning into a slob, without it ending up in an argument ? Its a very delicate subject. How do you delicately say "Can you please stop shovelling the food into your mounth like that?" Popi |
I dont know, I must be a real B%(#*$. If my husband was doing that, I would simply say, you're eating like a pig, cut it out! |
LOL linda117...That's what I'd probably do too. |
Look at the bright side. If they are having an affair, they suddenly dress better, look neater and change what they eat and drink and get critical of you. So you don't have that problem. I suggest you take him to get his eyes checked, and his hearing. Physical changes may be making him feel detached and you really don't notice things. |
I either correct or compliment my son's table manners, and DH usually picks up on it as well. If he doesn't, I usually ask DH "Honey, can you show him how to hold his fingers? I'm sitting across the table, so it's backwards to him." So far, that's always worked. |
Good idea, Sweeby, I will try that. |
Someone who leans right into his plate and literally shovels wouldn't have gotten a second date. It's a recent change, not something I became irritated by when the honeymoon period wore off. Other family members have noticed. Hints have been dropped. It is tricky to be firm, and firm enough that the message sticks, but not start an argument. |
quote " marge727 Look at the bright side. If they are having an affair, they suddenly dress better, look neater and change what they eat and drink and get critical of you. So you don't have that problem. I suggest you take him to get his eyes checked, and his hearing. Physical changes may be making him feel detached and you really don't notice things." i have to disagree with this. i have overall done many changes in appearance and manners, i lost wieght, toned my muscules, eat right, work out, keep my hair short and clean cut, but i didnt do that because im trying to have an afair, i did it for two reasons. 1.) to try to make myself more attractive for my wife, then maybe she'll notice me more often, the 2nd reason is i also did it for myself, to get back into shape like i use to be. so you always can't go by the changing thing meaning its an afair. i did it for my wife. |
icaris, I don't think marge was suggesting that anyone who changes for the better is having an affair; I think she was only making a joke that at least that was one thing that didn't need to be worried about. I thought it was funny. All "A'"'s can be "B"'s without necessarily making all "B"'s be "A"'s (Boolean logic). In other words, 'theoretically', all people having an affair may dress better...but that doesn't mean that all people who dress better are having affairs. Don't worry, no one thinks you're having an affair just because you're getting in good shape. Anyway, I have no idea what to tell the OP about her problem. Maybe the food just tastes too darn good...try serving some overcooked pasta or serving the food real hot! That may slow him down a bit. It sounds like he's just extra hungry or something...could he be diabetic? Let us know if/when you come up with an explanation. |
"Anyway, I have no idea what to tell the OP about her problem. Maybe the food just tastes too darn good...try serving some overcooked pasta" ahh man, i love overcooked pasta, add a little butter/garlic sauce, some fresh oregano, basil, and parcley, topped off with my special twisted rose bud, and you have good eats oh and lets not forget my homemade garlic bread, or poegotch (sp) bread iether...lol.. sorry, it just sounded to good, and i love to cook.. |
icaris,you sound like a lovely husband,your wife should be happy to have you.I hope you can work everything out somehow. |
Icaris, you do sound like a good hubbie, nice to hear that you are looking after yourself. Why do you think more men don't think like you ? Macbirch, you say he "shovels" his food. Is he overweight ? I read that if you eat slower and chew more, taking smaller mouthfulls, you actually eat less, feel more satisfied, and don't run the risk of putting on excess weight. Try saying to him "I am concerned about your health" that might open up some discussion. That could be an opening statement to lots of issues, come to think of it ! Popi |
He was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes last year. He'd been putting on weight for years, buying bigger clothes, ignoring anything that was said about his health (family history of type 2 too!). Since diagnosis he's gotten the diabetes under control really well, he exercises almost every day, he's lost weight, and he's so smug about fitting into his old clothes. He's doing just about everything he should have done sooner. BTW, I thought all the grunting and huffing would lessen now that he's a normal weight and much fitter but he still sounds and acts fat. And did I mention the burping and farting? |
Macbirch Can you tell him you dont find him attractive, when he does all the things you don't like ? I see this as your only option, at this point, just come out and say it....you've have nothing to loose, do you ? Are you, yourself, in pristine condition, you know, nicely scrubbed up, sweet smelling, etc, etc. ? I wish you all the best. Sorry about the diabetes 2, perhaps you could use this as something you could do together, like exercise, make yummy, healthy meals together. I should take my own advice. Popi |
I can't remember if I've said it in so many words but we've been trying to draw attention to various things. Don't really want to be blunt to the point of being nasty, though sometimes a particularly pointed comment slips out. Problem is 90 percent of the time communication is too subtle for DH to notice and 10 percent of the time (and rising!) it's nagging or arguing. I've never actually found a way to discuss things so DH will hear me. This is getting into a broader issue now. I've wondered if it's the age difference. I've always felt a little invisible. Or is it just men's inferior communication skills? (Sorry, but there is this idea around that men aren't as verbal as women.) This recent slovenliness is just the latest thing. Particularly annoying though in that it's so frequent and obvious. I mean we can't be in the same room together for very long before he's doing something. I can't believe he behaves like that at work. |
"Problem is 90 percent of the time communication is too subtle for DH to notice" I have the same issue.You have to hit my husband with a building to get him to notice something,there is no being subtle. |
I think its difficult to discuss things, if you feel it will start an argument. This is the same situation for me. I think we just have to work hard at finding ways to be more assertive, and to communicate in such a way, as to not sound like we are blaming them. This is easier said than done. I think its okay to say "I am going to say something, that you probably won't like to hear, but this is of concern to me and I have to get it off my chest". If you "prepare" him for a comment that he won't like,then surely this is the only way to get through. I do this myself, I anguish for days, hours on how I will "say" things, but gee if they are bothering me, isn't it okay to bring it up ? Trouble is, its often taken as a criticism, when that is not my intention, at all. Try reading some books about communication, it might open your eyes on how you can voice what you are thinking and then get the response you are looking for. I think one should be able to say anything, in a marriage, if it is said with love, and concern, for the marriage. Keep trying to get through. What have you said today, to alleviate your worries with this man ? Popi |
Yes, it's so hard to be assertive with your husband. It doesn't even sound right to talk about being assertive with your husband. You would hope he would love you enough to care about what you have to say without you having to work yourself up into "assertive" mode. Then if you're not careful you get too worked up and you're in nagging or arguing mode. And you know what really annoys me. When you occasionally think you've gotten it right and DH has heard you and is making an effort to keep your comments in mind . . . and then a week later he forgets. Like the conversation never happened. All that effort to choose the right time to raise the subject, to stay calm, to see his point of view, to meet him halfway, etc, etc. Seems to work. And then it all reverts back to the way it was. |
I agree with you Macbirch, let just struggle on and become better negotiators ! P |
Starting to wonder if it's the first signs of senility. He's illogical and answers back and loses focus and is more trouble than a two year old sometimes. Three tradesmen and DH are more than I can handle in one day. |
Actually, it could be something medical. Often the first sign of a change in mental status (such as some forms of dementia) can be a change in personality or personal care habits. A thorough checkup (with an advance heads-up to his doc) would be a good idea. |
How old is your DH? |
I have a vague memory of coming across something about slovenliness or something like that being an early sign of dementia when I was researching FIL's illness. But DH is much younger (57) than FIL was. I think I'll do some googling anyway. I hoped I wouldn't have to think about such things for another twenty years. |
My job sometimes involves assessing competency for court using medical reports, etc. 57 isn't too young to begin having problems.What looks like senility isn't always caused by old age. He also could be depressed, or he may have had a small stroke. You need to make a medical appointment, but be sure to talk with the doctor first to alert them to what they should be looking for. FIL was your father or his? |

Here are the worksheets for choir:
Starting 3rd Quarter my choir students will be doing daily worksheets in class. There are about 3 worksheets in a unit and at the end of the until there will be a test. Also, there may be pop quizes along the way.
"The key to developing intelligent, artstic choral musicians lies in ensureing the students' understanding not only of the technique of singing, but also of th erudiments of music. If students do no tunderstand the musical language in both written and aural form, they will never proceed beyond rote learnigng to the ability to learn rewarding advanced repertoire. This series was created primarily for students who have previously sung only by rote. It has been successfully used to help those students become accomplished sight-readers and lifelong choral musicians."

How to Look Like Anna Kournikova
You'll never look exactly like Anna Kournikova, but you can be inspired by her healthy, athletic yet feminine look. Here's how to aspire to the body and style of a striking tennis star.
1Hit the gym. Anna Kournikova is not petite or dainty. She's got to have the muscles to back up her game. Start weight training and eating more high-protein foods. If you're overweight or flabby, do aerobic exercise until you're tight and firm. If possible, take up tennis, and you'll be even closer to achieving Anna's body type.Ad
2Get a healthy glow. Don't cook under the sun - you'll risk getting wrinkles, sunburn, freckles, or moles, all of which are very un-Anna-Kournikova-ish. Instead, buy and use tanning lotion for a sun-kissed complexion.
3Wear small, tight, and sporty tennis outfits. Anna likes wearing short shorts or tiny skirts with small matching tops in bright, clean colors on the court. Get a matching visor and sleek tennis shoes. Remember, though, that your goal is to look healthy and fit, not sleazy.
4Grow your hair long. The key is to have long, shiny, and preferably straight or wavy hair. Apply a shine serum to reduce frizz and make your locks glisten. Put your hair up in a high, tight and clean ponytail. If you want, make that ponytail into a braid.
5Be Confident. Walk with your head high and a smile that will have all the guys starring at you, just like Anna.Ad
We could really use your help!
hair bumps?
money and finance?
magic tricks?
LCD monitor repair?
- Keep in mind that if you're gaining muscle, your weight on the scale might actually go up, despite your slimmer figure. That's because muscle weighs more than fat.
- Be really tan. Do sunless tanning and don't use a tanning booth either, though because we all know that tanning causes skin cancer.
- Whatever you do, don't dye your hair blonde. The constant maintenance will wear down your hair, taking away its shine, and even the hint of roots will kill your Anna Kournikova look.
- If paparazzi come running after you to take pictures don't let them know that you are not Anna!

Every 29 seconds an American has a heart attack. Even after years of warnings from the medical establishment about fat and cholesterol, 69 percent of us still average cholesterol counts of between 210 and 220, well above the recommended 130. Studies are finding arterial plaque buildup -- which leads to clogged arteries -- even in kids in their late teens. It seems that too much TV and too many Twinkies are taking their toll. "Everybody over 20 should have their cholesterol tested every five years, and if it's over 200, they should check it every two years," recommends dietitian Kathy Stone of the Cleveland Clinic. She also says it pays to know the numbers and to bug your doctor about treating high cholesterol aggressively. "With diet or medication or both, people don't have to have that first heart attack," she notes. She'll give a slide presentation about controlling cholesterol at 7 p.m. tonight at Borders, 9887 Glades Rd., Boca Raton. Admission is free. Call 561-883-5854.

Few rock bands have seen their debut albums spawn as many hits as Bad Company did with its self-titled 1974 release. "Can't Get Enough," "Movin' On," "Ready For Love," "Rock Steady," and "Bad Company" became rock-radio anthems. The blues rockers blew by the sophomore jinx with Straight Shooter, which yielded hits "Shooting Star," "Feel Like Makin' Love," and "Good Lovin' Gone Bad." The title track from Run With the Pack (1976) was the only keeper on that album, and it was basically a rewrite of "Bad Company" with strings and new lyrics added. And if you can name a song from 1977's Burnin' Sky, you're a die-hard fan. The band tried to mix things up with some synthesizers on Desolation Angels (1979), which produced "Rock 'n' Roll Fantasy." But after that, the band went on a three-year hiatus. They should have split for good. Rough Diamonds (1982), the band's last album with its original lineup, was terrible. So why is Bad Company performing tonight at 8 p.m. at Pompano Beach Amphitheatre (1801 NE Sixth St., Pompano Beach)? Because The "Original" Bad Company Anthology was recently released, and this tour gives the guys one last chance to feel the power and the glory -- at least that's our guess. Ticket prices range from $25 to $50. Call 954-946-2402.

Hi all, my first post! :-) So, I have an apple tree in my back garden. Last year it didn't produce a single apple. This year it is absolutely laden with fruit. Here is my problem. I am concerned that the tree seems to be hanging low even with the apples as small as they are. As their size and weight doubles and triples, will branches break? Should this tree be cut back? A couple of years ago the apples were mostly spoiled by bugs, and my wife does not want me to spray any pesticides. Any suggestions? Here are a couple of pics. Thanks!!!! Hugh |

A pruning can help and it looks like you need spraying. I wouldn't be concerned about braking branches this year,...most will fall before they mature when infested and will not overload branches. Most apples are biennial bearing,..it probably will set out next year again or has less. |
You can take off some of the apples to lessen the burden on the branches, tho that's a big mature tree and should be able to handle it. Thinning the fruit, in general, produces better harvests. But if you don't spray, your apples will continue to be spoiled by bugs, so it probably doesn't much matter. |
That is a nice looking tree. But yeah, it is heavily loaded and some branches could break from too much fruit. If you wish, you could prune out some of the highest branches where the fruit would be hard to reach and that shade the rest of the tree. But more importantly... Apples are usually produced in clusters of 5 or 6 fruits per cluster. You will want to remove most of these fruits down to just one fruit per cluster. Some people will take this even further and remove entire fruit spurs so that there is only a fruiting spur every 4-6 inches along every branch. Otherwise besides possible breakage of branches, the fruits may be too small, too green / not nice red color, and the tree will tend to go biennial as you have suggested, where it produces a ton of fruit one year and then zero the next. If you want fruit every year, you have got to remove like 90% of your fruit, and right away. Actually it might already be too late. Next year will probably be a light fruiting year again, maybe even zero. Ideally you'd want to get rid of fruitlets when they are marble size or less. Otherwise it gets to be too late for ensuring fruiting for next year. |
Thanks everyone. Sorry, I didn't get an email notification that there were replies. May I ask - what would be a good spray to use, given that my wife is very organically orientated? :-) Hugh |

Spray has everything to do with location. Where are you located? The tree has healthy foliage so you are already a step ahead in the game. You may be able to grow organic apples by using Surround but it will change the color of the leaves to a whitewashed look. |
@harvestman I am in Michigan. :-) Thanks. Hugh |
