CBSSports.com: Fantasy Baseball Week 17 Starts And Sits
The fantasy baseball experts at CBSSports.com break down who to start and who to sit for the upcoming week.
Mike Max's News & Notes: The Wild's Next Step, Vikings Mini Camp Update
One year to the day the Minnesota Wild made the splash of the off season — signing Zach Parise and Ryan Suter – the latter was named to the first all NHL team.
Revere Excels Against Former Team, Twins Top Phils
New Phillies center fielder Ben Revere got off to a fast start against his former team with two hits and a steal Wednesday in Philadelphia's 12-5 loss to the Minnesota Twins.
Twins Begin Spring Training With Many Questions
For a long stretch in Fort Meyers, the big question was: "Will the Twins ever beat the Yankees in the playoffs?" From six divisional titles in nine years to back-to-back last-place finishes – what has happened to the Twins?
Twins Trade Ben Revere For Phillies' Pitchers Worley, May
The Minnesota Twins announced late Thursday morning that they have acquired right-handed pitchers Vance Worley and Trevor May from the Philadelphia Phillies in exchange for outfielder Ben Revere.
Anderson Sharp For A's In Return To Mound
Oakland left-hander Brett Anderson pitched seven innings in his first start since undergoing elbow surgery nearly 15 months ago and the Athletics beat the Minnesota Twins 4-1 on Tuesday night.
Mike Max's News & Notes: August 11, 2012
People inside the Vikings insist they are intent on making playing baseball a part of the new football stadium. If the NHL gets salary roll backs as part of their new collective bargaining agreement, it could be big savings for Craig Leipold on Zach Praise and Ryan Suter's contracts. Suter chartered his own plane to be part of the fundraiser for Jack Jablonski. Nice move!
Twins Rout Indians 12-5
Samuel Deduno pitched seven strong innings for his second major league win and Josh Willingham hit his 27th homer of the season, leading the Minnesota Twins to a 12-5 win over the Cleveland Indians on Saturday night.
Twins' Doumit Not On DL, But Blackburn Is
Minnesota catcher Ryan Doumit is not on the disabled list, and Twins manager Ron Gardenhire says the team's announcement that he had been put there was incorrect.
Mike Max's News And Notes For April 28, 2012
The Vikings second first round pick, Harrison Smith out of Notre Dame, has quite a connection to his childhood team in Tennessee. Former Viking Tim Irwin was Smith's childhood coach, and currently coaches Smith's younger brother.
Revere, Parmalee Lead Twins To Win Over Jays
Daniel Bard is happy with his conversion from a reliever to starter this spring. So is manager Bobby Valentine.
Chen Pitches 2 Scoreless Innings In Orioles' Debut
Wei-Yin Chen looked totally at ease in his new surroundings. Chen made a neat exhibition debut, pitching two scoreless innings for the Baltimore Orioles in a 6-0 win Wednesday over the Minnesota Twins.
Baker Makes Spring Debut, Twins Beat Rays 3-2
Scott Baker pitched two hitless innings in his spring debut as the Minnesota Twins beat the Tamps Bay Rays 3-2 on Tuesday.
No Questions Asked: Twins Say They're Set In OF
The Minnesota Twins have had a crowded outfield for several seasons. That's not the case this year, with Ben Revere, Denard Span and Josh Willingham settled in their spots before spring training.
Chen Sharp As Royals Blank Twins 4-0
Bruce Chen pitched eight crisp innings, Alex Gordon homered and the Kansas City Royals beat the Minnesota Twins 4-0 on Tuesday night.

CBS 2 - Search Results
BERLIN (AP) -- German prosecutors have arrested three elderly men on suspicion they served as guards at the Nazis' Auschwitz death camp.
Stuttgart prosecutors' spokeswoman Claudia Krauth said Thursday the three men, aged 88, 92 and 94, were all taken to a prison hospital where they will be held as the investigation continues. The men, whose names were not released, are all suspected of accessory to murder as guards at the death camp in occupied Poland.
They are part of a group of some 30 suspected former Auschwitz guards that German federal prosecutors recommended charges against last September. State prosecutors have been responsible for investigating further and filing charges.
Krauth said her office received six cases total but there was not yet enough evidence to arrest the other three men.

I am no longer able to string words together fast enough for easy comprehension, and people find it difficult to interpret what I'm saying. Those who don't know me are completely mystified by my delivery; a few too, wonder at my cognitive ability.
My slothful cadence is also hard on my husband, who has been trying to get me to talk less for over 2 years now. His hearing is no longer peak, and the soft drone of my voice is not on his radar anymore. I drive him nuts when I report on the trivial, as it forces him to stop what he's doing, so he can focus all his attention on what I'm saying. He gets frustrated when he has to work so hard to hear content that has no importance.
In the early days, when I was told that I might lose the ability to speak, I thought that speech technology was the solution; a tool for saving me from the silence. I even looked forward to mastering the software. But now that my voice is fading, I find that I have absolutely no interest in cleverly jamming away on a keyboard, while a speaker spouts robotic syllables at my listener. Anyway, that technology was developed for expressing needs, wants; not for sharing of self, heart, truth, or grief.
Is silence really "golden?" I think (or more likely romanticize) about religious orders that vow to a lifetime of silence, trading-in words for illumination. I have fantasized over re-inventing myself into the-woman-of-few-words, enigmatic and interesting. Oh . . . and disabled. Forgot that part.
Would the artful cultivation of body language be enough to satisfy the requirements of social communion? Could I unfold the conversation with only a look? Is silence adequate enough to comfort, cajole, or convey dissent? Can it render further discourse?
Perhaps I'm missing the point entirely, and that this is Real Opportunity – disguised as loss – to unearth that deeper portion of myself, beyond words. Or do I merely romanticize?

Racine preserves win in 3rd, Michigan overtakes Miami (NTM), 4-2
How are we tonight? I hope good, because that's how I'm feeling at the moment. Let's not put AJ on Hobey Watch just yet, however, as tantalizing as that might be.
Postgame comments from Red, the Captain, and Chiasson after the jump.
Red on AJ's feisty play… "He's as mild-mannered a kid off the ice as you could want. Very quiet and soft-spoken. I don't know what the change is, but when he gets a stick in his hands and he gets out on the ice, he's a different person. That's what we need."
On the chippiness of tonight's game…"This has been built into quite the rivalry. You have to expect that between these two teams. The 2nd period was their period, but we took control going into the 3rd. The physical play went up a level in the 3rd period, but we didn't let it affect our game.
AJ on his two goals…"This was a hard-fought game. I've come to expect that everytime we play them, but we have a lot of younger players on this team who haven't, and it's my job as the Captain to make sure they know that Michigan expects to win in this rivalry. I think they know, now. My first goal came off that one-timer on the PP. I just tried to put as much behind it as I could, and it got through."
Chiasson on his 1st of the season…"First off, I just want to credit Guppy with that pass. He was all over the ice tonight. We kept the puck in, I pinched and got behind their D, and I saw he was going to make a play. He got just enough to poke it past the defender, and I saw their goaltender was maybe to his blocker side a little too much, so I tried to poke it up over his glove, and luckily enough, I did."
- I think it's only fair I start tonight with gigantic praises for Steven Racine, who, notwithstanding the one bad giveaway, absolutely slammed the door on the Redhawks tonight. Wristers from the slot, slapshots from the point, and bailing out the error-prone corps of Michigan defensemen–the young netminder turned in a sparkling performance for the Maize and Blue. Mobile, agile, and, for the most part, always in the right position, Racine stopped all manner of pucks tonight. His glovehand was on target, and he likes to make saves with his pad. Everything is being directed towards the corner right now, and he's not kicking out juicy rebounds into the slot. I'm very glad the rebound control is improving. Racine sprawled in his crease, did the splits, got his glove to deflect a shot just enough, and about any other acrobatic superlative you could want. #1 star of this game, and I know AJ potted 2 in the game. It looks as though Red's giving Rutledge the start tomorrow, but it's Steve's job to lose.
- The players keep saying that defensive zone coverage is going to improve, but talk is cheap. I'll only believe it once I see words translate into actions. The breakdowns so far have been mind-boggling and eye-averting. We're much too quick to make the blind pass, or for a defenseman to expect his partner to be there when he isn't. Moffie, in particular, was not aware of his surroundings, and chucked a pass onto a Miami stick, or allowed his pocket to be summarily picked by the opportunistic Miami forward. This may seem like old hat, but it's common sense in hockey: talk to your partner, make eye contact, have awareness, etc. I counted, at minimum, about 3 incredibly dangerous 2-on-1's given up, where Racine was left to make a tough save. That's not the way for us to help out our freshman goaltender, guys. On the bright side, Chiasson and Bennett were the stalwarts for Michigan tonight. And no, I don't have a Merrill update for you. Wish I did, though. Arrrggghhh.
- What else can we write about AJ Treais and his play in this very young campaign as we move forward? To be honest: not much that you're not already keenly aware of. Miami took it to Michigan in the 1st period, but our first two goals (both AJ's), gave us the kickstart we needed. Miami still controlled play territorially early in the 2nd, but Michigan would soon grab hold of the game. Our Captain is a bona-fide superstar, and his stock is rising. Both goals came off of hard shots, and both demonstrated his poise, his patience, and his leadership. Leading by example, communicating on the PP, this is the kind of play that can define you. Skating hard, getting his shot away quicker, and doing it all with a smile on his face. Took it upon himself to lead Michigan, and that's exactly what I want to see from a captain. 2G, +1, O penalties, 6 SOG. Box score says it all.
- Guptill is quickly becoming a very reliable hockey player for us. Smart, elusive, willing to muck it up and go to the tough areas, he reminds me a lot of Chad Kolarik minus the speed and finishing ability. 1G, 1A, 5 SOG. When Nieves matures, this could be a very, very good 2nd line.
- Jacob Trouba was built for the Miami series. Physical, hard-nosed, nasty, the freshman threw his body around all night, and he seemed to enjoy playing in the game more and more as the night wore on. I simply cannot wait to see Jacob providing that dominant physical presence and booming slaptshot we've missed for a few years. 2A, +1, 2 PIM's.
How about a sweep/football win in Lincoln/Tiger victory trifecta tomorrow night? Full slate tomorrow, you can't ask for a more exciting weekend. As always, send me an e-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com. Follow me on Twitter: @chilesgoblue, and you can follow MHN via @MichiganHockey.
See you tomorrow!
Go Blue,

I sewed three tops from one two-pieced pattern., one without and two with a "cutout" or wide keyhole front, which is trending now. This pattern is not only ideal for beginners and/or those who are new to knits, but also a wonderful way to use fabric remnants of previous projects.
For a smoother finish, I used bias strips in the corresponding fabrics to finish the necklines and armscyes.

We just put out a new single for free download: our cover of "Headache For Michelle (12″ Version)" by the Au Pairs. It's dedicated to Iain P., a fan from England who was the inspiration for us doing this. If you don't know the Au Pairs yet, they are very much worth your while.
Our cover puts a high-intensity guitar up against the original's super slinky bass line, creating a stark contrast to the minimalist, suggestive Au Pairs version.

Magnetic Island's debut LP "Magnetic Island": Call it scene one, take two.
When Magnetic Island emerged last year from the remnants of Renminbi with a flurry of new recordings, they sounded like a band that was still sorting through the rubble of their old ideas and processes. On various singles and the Out at Sea EP, the re-christened band experimented with new textures and arrangements but hewed closely to the Renminbi sound: an economical, recorded-live sound, with clear guitar front and center. These early recordings were gradual, cautious and exploratory. Their trajectory was uncharted.
With "Magnetic Island," it's anything but.
For all of its openness to collaboration and to breaking apart the insular format of a rock and roll band, Magnetic Island has always had one woman steering it. Guitarist Lisa Liu is, and has been, undeniably the creative force behind the group, with keyboardist SMV and the band's drummers following her lead.
So when Liu found herself with a handful of new, very personal songs written by the middle of 2011, she thought: What would happen if I just made an album myself?
What happened, in short, was a record that proved a defining moment for Magnetic Island.
"Magnetic Island" pairs the band's familiar grandiose structures with a newly baroque focus on layered arrangements, most of them the solo work of Liu, who not only learned to play drums, but also scored all of her intricate guitar parts in preparation for the recording. The result is the same ambitious musical arc fans have come to expect from Magnetic Island, but with a new-found intimacy — a pulsating warmth lent by the one-woman focus.
The fact that the tracking of the album in rural Vermont was loudly interrupted when Hurricane Irene's floods knocked out power and devastated the surrounding area may have had something to do with it, too. Liu recalls the scenario as both "amazing and harrowing," leaving the band alone to reflect for almost six days as they waited for the lights to come back on.
The singular intensity and awe engendered by that experience comes through in the music. Would-be single and album opener "Don't Need It Now" pairs intertwining guitar lines and vocal melodies that rise and fall against one another, creating an exhilarating tension that mirrors the lyrical tug-of-war between hanging on and letting go. "In Theory," anchored by the narrator's matter-of-fact declaration, "I have no fixed plans / except with you," has a more menacing energy that blends the ragged force of Deerhunter with the dreamy longing of Beach House.
The stunning, understated "Acadia" is marked by the kind of muted, wintry tone that would fit it well onto Sonic Youth's "A Thousand Leaves" or a Mt. Eerie album, while "Morning Feedback" bears the sort of dark restraint and affected laziness that might come from an unlikely collaboration between Radiohead and Wild Flag. "Second Hand" closes the album with a simple, end-of-the-night sendoff — a la Velvet Underground's "After Hours" — that links hazy singing with a bright, frayed guitar hook.
In all, it's a remarkable set of songs that proclaims, boldly and clearly, the essence of this innovative project and firmly secures Magnetic Island's place on the map. –Sam Schulz
Check out the new album now: http://magneticisland.bandcamp.com/
Well, the actual land mass is off the coast of Australia, to be exact. But the band that goes by the same name has over the past several months been tucked away in one of two places: Brooklyn, NY or Athens, VT.
The former is where the core group that's been working on the new MI long-player has been putting together demos, practicing parts and writing lyrics. The latter is where that same core group recently recorded 8 of the album's new songs – during a stretch of time that was loudly punctuated by someone named Irene.
Despite the disruption, we managed to finish most of what we had originally set out to do in Athens. Mixing got nixed, though, and ended up taking three times as long as it should have when it became a long-distance email tennis match.
Some point thereafter, the decision was made that we needed to return to VT a second time to add the two final songs the album was always meant to have. (We thought for a while that maybe those last two could be recorded back in Kings County, but we realized we'd be doing them a disservice. Pete Weiss and his lovely Verdant Studio had suited us too well to take any of these tracks elsewhere.)
All this said, the Fall 2011 release deadline we had given ourselves had, inevitably, to be pushed back. So, ladies and gents, you can now look forward to Magnetic Island's debut LP arriving on January 17, 2012.
In the meantime, we will whet your appetites with the release of not one, not two, not three, but four (!) singles between now and release day (to be fair, two of them will only be available as part of an album pre-order). Stay tuned for announcements on our Facebook and Twitter.
Oh, and that aforementioned pre-order delivers all sorts of exclusive content for the early adopters out there, going well beyond MP3s. It is live now on our Bandcamp and our Facebook!
We thank you for your patience, and hope the Keyboard EP has been sufficient to tide you over these last few months. Maybe we can ask you about it in the Spring, when we plan to hit the road for a good stretch to bring you everything we've been working on in 2011.
So, yeah, we haven't done much in the way of updates around here lately. But stuff has definitely been happening.
Actually, 2011 has so far proven to be an extremely productive, even prolific, time for us. We've been collaborating with a bunch of new folks — drummers, guitarists, multi-instrumentalists — but also trying to improve our level of self-sufficiency. The two songs we've released so far this year — one a demo called "The Space," the other a single called "Wish I Knew" — go a long way toward demonstrating this latter endeavor. Both tracks feature only one of us, doing everything: drums, keyboard, guitar, programming, recording, mixing.
Being that we'd never seriously attempted playing the drums prior to January, and had previously done only the most crude home recording, achieving these things felt like a big deal.
We've said all along that Magnetic Island was created out of a desire to keep pushing ourselves. We know a lot of people will write that sentiment off as any number of things: corny, a cop-out, pretentious, etc. We don't say it for any other reason than to tell you what keeps us going. The outcomes are unpredictable, and may not always be what you — or even we — would expect. But we're not in this for any other reason than to express where we are at the moment the song is written, and to explore the boundaries of what's possible working in a bedroom with a laptop, or in a cramped rehearsal space with a friend, or at a college campus pub without a setlist or a script.
So, we'll continue doing it. We love that so many of you have been willing to come along for the ride, and we hope you'll stick with us. We may not always remember to write, but we're working our asses off, we promise. Here's what you can expect from us in the next few months:
So, there you go. That's what 2011 has been, and will be, for MI. If you want to hear from us more often, you can follow us on Twitter or like us on Facebook, or you can join our email list by sending us a note at firstname.lastname@example.com
As ever, we thank you for your support.
Magnetic Island
A lot of people have asked us why we're choosing to release "Out at Sea" on tape, as opposed to the ubiquitous CD or the audiophile-prefrerred vinyl.
There are a myriad of reasons. First and foremost: we really like cassettes. Although CDs came into common use by the time we were in middle school, CD-Rs lagged behind by several years. This meant music was still traded and shared via cassette for most of our adolescence. There were so many great fringe benefits, too: Tapes are small, light and easier to transport than vinyl or CDs, so they made great companions for road trips. We also loved taping our favorite songs off the radio. And we loved making mix tapes (who didn't?). CD mixes (and today's MP3 mixes) never quite felt the same. Not to mention all those times we agonized over whether to "upgrade" a seminal release to CD, only to find we preferred the warmth and worn-in feeling of our original tape copy.
Then there's the fact that we printed the digital mixes of "Out at Sea" to two-inch tape, something we'd never done before. The experience reminded us of the unique quality of tape, how it lends its own personality to music. We came to feel that delivering these songs to listeners through that same medium would be the best way to preserve what we were hearing in the studio. Plus, the four songs that are included on this EP naturally grouped themselves together in pairs — two louder/rougher-edged tracks, two quieter/gentler tracks. Having an A side/B side split as allowed by tape seemed like the right way to present them.
And as a 100% self-funded operation, it doesn't hurt that tape is also economical. Vinyl is wonderful, but insanely expensive for short-runs. And that means we have to charge our fans a lot more for it. Tape keeps costs down for us — which ultimately allows us to make more music — and it keeps costs down for the fans who want to own something more than zeros and ones.
Lastly, at this point in time, cassettes just feel special. Of the few remaining record stores here in the U.S., only a small percentage carry tapes. But yet so many of our friends and acquaintances prize their tape collections, refusing — move after move — to give them up. They bond us to our childhoods, and to each other. The feeling we get from sharing and collecting tapes is exactly what we wanted "Out at Sea" to feel like — warm, human, special.
And that brings us to our new record label, Disregard Records, which will have its focus on tape and digital releases. With the economic advantages both tape and digital provide, we'll be able to put out a steady stream of material, both our own and that of other bands and artists we believe in. And like Magnetic Island itself, the label will be run collaboratively, with input from the artists who become part of the Disregard family.
We'll talk more about why we chose to name the label Disregard Records in a future post….
Earlier this year, we formed Magnetic Island as an outlet for the collaborative work we'd been wanting to do with friends, acquaintances and musicians we've admired from afar. The goal is to get a bunch of personalities in a room and see what comes out after first improvising, then refining, and lastly recording sounds. The group will be ever-shifting in its membership and identity, although one constant guiding principle will thread through: keep experimenting! Unusual instrumentation or vocal lines or time signature shifts — whatever, just as long as everything feels necessary.
Also, we'll make music available frequently, instead of letting it sit on a shelf for six months or a year. Create the song, get it recorded, share it. That will mean, mostly, an emphasis on singles and EPs. Even if a lot of people are still working under the misapprehension that it's only the full-length that matters.*
We're throwing out whatever "rulebook" supposedly exists; music was never meant to be written according to rules, and it shouldn't be shared or written about according to rules, either.
We've put out two singles and a demo so far, and our debut EP arrives Sept. 21 on a label that is also being run collaboratively, Disregard Records [more about this in a future post]. The singles and demo are available as free downloads. The EP will be available as a download and on limited edition cassette tape.

MUMBAI: A considerable percentage of voters in minority-dominated pockets (wards) in Mumbai preferred to vote for independents or Samajwadi Party (SP) candidates, despite efforts by chief minister Prithviraj Chavan and the Congress' senior Muslim leaders to woo Muslim votes.
The community is traditionally considered a strong Congress vote base. However, four of the seven wards between Lotus Colony and Cheetah Nagar in Chembur, which is a Muslim-dominated pocket, elected SP candidates. Independent candidates from the community won two other seats in the region, while the Shiv Sena won the remaining seat. Worse, Congress candidates lost by big margins in these areas.
The story was repeated elsewhere. In Kurla, which also has a high Muslim population, SP candidate Ashraf Azmi polled 9,681 votes in ward no 159 (Vinoba Bhave Nagar). Congress candidate Nitesh Singh, son of party legislator Rajhans Singh, came a distant third with 3,981 votes. In ward 158, sitting Congress corporator Masood Ansari's daughter Sana was defeated by SP candidate Dilshad Azmi.
The SP, which won seven seats in 2007, ended up with nine seats this time. Party candidates also spoiled the Congress's chances in many areas. For instance in Bharat Nagar, Bandra, the Congress candidate was unseated by Iliyas Bashir Shiekh, an independent. The Congress is believed to have lost as Muslim votes were split by SP candidate Idris Saifullah and another independent, Raja Rehbaar Khan.
Independent Hanifa Bi, contesting from Cheetah camp, upset incumbent Asma Shaikh of the NCP. Shaikh had won the seat as an SP candidate last time and recently joined the NCP. Hanifa Bi is the mother of Afroze Shaikh, who was arrested by the Mumbai Crime Branch in October 2001 for allegedly planning an attack on the UK's House of Commons on 9/11, but later acquitted. Her second son Mohammed Farooq Sheikh, a sitting corporator, claimed people voted for his development work.
"The Congress-NCP made a lot of empty promises. Many deserving Muslim candidates were denied tickets during the last Assembly elections. The SP gained from the growing disenchantment towards the alliance," said Maulana Burhanuddin Qasmi of Jogeshwari-based NGO Markazul Maarif.

Take one candy cane (kids like the good flavors). Cut one brown pipe cleaner in half. Use the half pipe cleaner to twist on the top of the candy cane for the antlers. (if it was a real walking cane, the antlers would go where your hand would go to walk with the cane; around the curve). Glue small movable eyes onto the candy cane below the antlers and use a pom pom for the nose. (nose would be at end of the curve. Kids like to choose the color of pom pom (and color of eyes if you don't want to use black). This idea is in christian magazines so I can't take the credit but kids love them! My mother-n-law first showed me this idea. My 4 year old daughter made them for her preschool class this year and it was a hit!

MFA in Digital & Interdisciplinary Art Practice [DIAP]
Develop a critical art practice in digital media. Use a research perspective to explore the relationship between technology and art, and earn an MFA in Digital and Interdisciplinary Art Practice in New York City.
[DIAP] MFA is a research-oriented community in which students individually and collaboratively explore aspects related to digital media art, including but not limited to, Narrative and Non-narrative Time-based Art, Sound Art, Digital Cultures, Interactivity, Performance, Queer Technology, Cyberfeminism, Digital Activism and Hybrids. It is designed to be adaptive to the current environment of continually changing technology, while critically approaching the relationship between technology and tools in contemporary art practice.
[DIAP] students will explore art and technology with a range of digital tools, but the focus is on the project not the tool.
[DIAP] enables students to choose from the broadest range of digital tools. Projects are conceptually and thematically driven and students will research tools and processes to fit the project, not the reverse. Wherever appropriate to the project, we encourage integration of traditional media or processes and methodologies from biology, computer science, math, psychology or other areas of potential interdisciplinary connection and exploration.

MFA in Studio Art
The Master of Fine Arts in Studio Art at The City College of New York is a two-year, 60-credit program comprised of a close-knit community of exceptional students, working with committed faculty with expertise in a wide range of mediums and approaches to art-making. Students have their own studio space, where they spend the first year on work emphasizing experimentation and growth, and the last year focusing those experimentations into a solo thesis exhibition mounted in the Art Department's spacious gallery. This takes place on the historic City College campus with neo-gothic architecture on Convent Avenue in Manhattan.
Our faculty prides itself in valuing each artist's deep individuality. A non-discipline-specific approach is used in preparing the students for careers as visual artists. The students' command of the overall process of creating and communicating through a body of work, and the ability to sustain that over a lifetime, is the primary focus. Individual and group critiques, visiting artist lectures, and group discussions are an important part of this process. The thesis exhibition mounted in the fourth semester is done in consultation with faculty mentors, and a written thesis and an oral defense are part of the MFA project requirement.
The applicants are accepted annually on a competitive basis. Admitted students are in full-time residence for four semesters. At the end of each semester, the students are reviewed in the format of a critique by the faculty before progressing to the next term. Each semester the students take a Studio Critique course that focuses on the development of their thesis body of work. In addition, they take studio elective courses focusing on a variety of mediums, participate in graduate art seminars, take a course in professional development, a course in teaching art at the college level, and take two graduate Art History courses. Many of these courses are taken side-by-side with students in the other Masters programs at City College: the DIAP MFA, MA in Art History, MA in Museum Studies and the MA in Art Education program. The City College of New York Studio Art MFA is an affordable program, it is in New York City, and the Art Faculty are a significant group of artists, art historians, and educators including fulltime faculty members Tom Thayer (co-director), Megan Foster (co-director), Colin Chase, Becca Albee, Hajoe Moderegger, Ethan Ham, Lise Kjaer, Patterson Beckwith and Sylvia Netzer. Current and recent part-time faculty members include Bridget Donahue, Carl Fudge, Dave Miko, Fionn Meade, Paul Myoda, Sandy Winters and Stuart Elster.
Recent City College of New York Studio Art MFA alum have participated in programs and residencies including Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture, Lower East Side Printshop, Lower Manhattan Cultural Council's (LMCC) Swingspace Program, Picture Berlin, The Wassaic Project, Artist in the Marketplace (AIM) Program, Art Funkl, Center for Book Arts, Atlantic Center for the Arts, Marie Walsh Sharpe Foundation Studio Program, Henry Street Settlement, Stiftung Kunstlerdorf Schoppingen, and Zentrum für Kunst und Urbanistik. They teach at the graduate and undergraduate level, exhibit in galleries, museums, and artist-run spaces internationally, and have started up independent businesses, organizations, publications, and spaces. City College is a nominating school for the annual Joan Mitchell MFA Grant Program and the Dedalus Foundation Master of Fine Arts Fellowship.
Visit the MFA in Studio Art website to learn more.
MA in Art Education, K-12
The Art Education program at City College of New York prepares students to be reflective artist-educators who can teach in multiple settings, including schools, community centers, museums, and alternative learning sites. Students gain a critical understanding of the social significance of art education as they develop the skills to actively contribute to the field through their creative and academic work.
CCNY offers two graduate level programs in Art Education that lead to a Master's degree and Certification in New York State in Art (K-12).
Visit the MA in Art Education website to learn more.
MA in Art History, Museum Studies Option
The museum studies concentration at City College is an option within the 30-credit M.A. in art history. This track of study offers a flexible curriculum, allowing students to develop their own area of specialization. Although the concentration is primarily focused on art museums, the required seminars also consider issues and practices within other cultural institutions, providing students with a broad view of the field. In addition to the two required seminars and internships described below, students may select from any number of elective courses in art history, history, anthropology, American studies, film, literature, education, or video production. By taking advantage of the cultural institutions in New York City, students have the opportunity to explore any number of career choices.
Visit the MA in Museum Studies website to learn more.
MA in Art History, Art History Option
The 30-credit CCNY Master's Program in art history offers an array of courses that complement and draw on New York's dynamic arts culture. The city's diverse museums and galleries and its thriving contemporary art scene are featured in many courses and are available for research internships. Internationally recognized faculty mentor students in a variety of areas, and the museum studies track prepares students to work in a variety of art-related professions. Students are also trained to continue for the PhD. Graduate courses meet once a week for three hours.

Love this shampoo - great clarifying shampoo. I use as directed, once or twice a week, and I usually do a good scalp scrub along with it. It isn't the easiest to run your fingers through, but its really does a good deep clean.
Its gentle on the scalp yes clarifying. Worth the buy.
Do beware of getting the shampoo in your eyes! It's minty!
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
My favourite clarifying shampoo! I have dry, fine 4c hair and this one of the few that doesn't leave my hair completely stripped of moisture. It does leave my hair a bit dry, but I don't use this very often. It does an incredible job of getting your hair super clean. It's got quite a strong eucalyptus scent that not everyone will like but I'm a fan of its freshness. I especially like to use this if I have just taken out a weave. I always follow this up with a hydrating hair mask/treatment, either the L'Oreal Ever Riche mask in a pot (or EverCreme in the States) or Aussie 3 Minute Miracle.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
Phytoneutre is the absolute best clarifying shampoo I've tried! I'm a huge product junkie and have tried many other brands; Schwarzkopf, Kerastase, you name it, I've tried it. But I always go back to ordering this because it removes all the silicone build-up and chemical gunk, while not stripping my hair of its natural moisture. Like all clarifying shampoos, it is a little drying if I use it on a daily basis, so I use it with Phyto's hair mask. I'm a flight attendant and use a helmet of hairspray, gel and wax every time I go on flight. Nevertheless, this shampoo always manages to do a good job of cleaning out all the disgusting gunk from my badly abused hair.
2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
For reference, I have thick hair that is very oily at the roots/scalp and dry at the ends. I use this once or twice a week to de-gunk my scalp. It does the job well, cleansing my scalp without stripping my hair. The packing is a tube, which is a heck lot more user-friendly than the screw-top bottles some Phyto products come in. Love it!
Surprised I haven't reviewed this yet - I've used it for 12 years or more - that should tell you. It is excellent, cleans hair without stripping it, natural ingredients, natural eucalyptussy scent which does not linger after you've washed your hair. My hair is between waist and hip long (so up to a metre long), and I wash every 3rd or 4th day, I do not use blowdryers or any other implements of destruction on my hair - just this shampoo and a jojoba-based oil which I blend myself for a bit of conditioning and shine after i comb out my hair. I've had hairdressers tell me, whatever your'e doing don't stop - my hair is in mint condition, thanks largely to this stuff. Occasionally I've tried other things, but usually after a week or two I go back to this. Nothing else so good as this.
4 out of 4 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
great stuff, great for deep clean, build up, after massage when all the lotion gets on your hair. it is great, smell so fresh, it tingles a bit which makes it really fresh . love it!
This is a great shampoo to gently take all of the deposits and gunk out of your hair. I used it after significant silicone buildup and it totally did the trick- without stripping my hair to a dry state. Great stuff! Will likely use weekly or as needed.
Well I use this as a deep cleansing shampoo. It smells wonderful, it adds a lot of shine, cleans my hair very gentle and deep. And it has almost only natural ingredients in it, which I love. I use it 2 or 3 times monthly to rinse all the products that I use for my curly hair. It dose the job perfect. It is pricely, but it is an concentrate that will last you forever!
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
Wow! Am I glad I tried this shampoo. My scalp had been acting crazy since my move to a warmer climate (itchy, dry, flakey, yet my hair felt unclean and gunky) and I had gone through 7-10 shampoos looking for something that didn't seem to make matters worse.
Enter Phytoneutre... after one shampoo my hair felt clean but not over processed, my scalp was soothed, and I didn't feel like a shedding yak.
The smell and texture of the product is wonderful (softly eucalyptus and very rich). The packaging is fabulous (a smallish snap cap tube). And the amount needed to effectively cleanse my hair is but a dollop. I like the fact that the product is meant to sit on the hair for a few minutes (so I wash my face while it does so); it may mean nothing but it makes me feel like I'm doing something wonderful for my hair and scalp.
Better yet, my hair is ready for styling when all I'm done as opposed to cleansed into limp submission. I will definitely repurchase and recommend to others
(ps. my hair is color-treated and Phytoneutre did NOT strip my hair or alter the color)

More reviews by missytakespics
When I first started on the Phyto line, this was prescribed to me. This shampoo is what is going to remove all of those gross residues and polymers left on your hair and scalp from bad products. It has a great eucalyptus smell too, lots of essential oils in there.
Its nice because its a tube instead of most of their shampoos which are in hazardous glass bottles. I use this about once a week and after about a month I see a huge improvment in the movement and feel of my hair. And its cheaper than the other shampoos in the line.

347 - Repository browser
It would be nice to have a repository browser to allow a fish-like visualization of a project's source repository.
Fish itself for git/hg may be too ambitious (or has that been done?), but a viewcvs-like interface would be more than enough.

I think that rather than a repository browser for 3 version control systems - you could implement a zip file browser. It would be trivial to implement this way.
You could build on that functionality. Since the version is already put into the addon's toc by the packager, you could very easily get the source file which matches a given debugstack.
Also - browsing the zip would show you the source after it has been pre-proceesed, another plus.
I only support this idea if the solution is good. I HATE VIEWCVS AND VIEWVC THOUGH!
this might be helpful :) http://pygments.org/
Well that's the point isn't it. Fish allows you to view the _history_, which is painful with SVN in any case because it requires extra round-trips to the server. OTOH in Git/Hg you just clone and explore the history locally.
I'm all for Fish/SVN, I'm just saying I can live without it for Git/Hg.
Doing single checkouts of SVN is fast as well. git may be fast, but a single checkout of SVN doesn't take long unless the project is huge. If the project is huge, git would take just as long anyway (though it would get more done).
The point is to avoid having to checkout at all so one can easily browse when required.
Git (and probably Hg) hardly needs this because cloning the repo for local browsing is extremely fast. +1 for SVN though

Reviewed Chicken and Dumplings
Jan 12, 2013 in Food Network Community Toolbox on FoodNetwork.com
"This recipe was easy and delicious. I made the following healthy adjustments which worked excellently: I doubled the carrots, celery, and peas, and I used 3/4 whole wheat biscuit mix with 1/4 regular biscuit mix. I also cooked the chicken and dumplings for a whole twenty minutes instead of ten...the biscuits became soft and juicy!""

I am using a kiln for glass fusing, and want to make a mold out of clay, Never worked with clay before, I have an idea how I would like the shape, but am unsure as to how to fire it, Once the clay has been shaped, do I then let it dry? and for how long, and at what temp do I fire it? I have a kiln that goes to 1700' is this going to be hot enough to set the clay? how long to fire it also. Any ideas? Do I need to take it elsewhere to have it fired? The mold that I am making is simple, just havent been able to find one that I can use. It would be a slump mold, that you drape the glass over the top
Thanks for any help!! |

Clay needs to be bone dry before firing, this is called a Bisque firing. It is much slower than any of the glass firing ramping up. You will want to drive off chemical and physical water slowly; 1700 will work well for clay molds, however, most ceramic hobby shops bisque at cone 04(about 1800). You want to fire with a cone in place on the shelf so you will know if the heat has done it's work; cone 08 should do the job. ----------July |

Sorry I can't be of any help with the clay mold, but I have a beautiful fluted green glass plate edged in gold my mother made years ago with that method. She took ceramics classes at the local park board (they disbanded them and a lot else, playground supervision at the parks for kids in the summer, but our taxes are at an all-time high). Anyway, I think the park board had what you call the slump molds. I'd be interested in finding out more about this technique, but don't really have time to look for any classes. Most of the ladies around here just paint greenware, and I tired of that. I do have a pottery wheel in the garage and took some classes for awhile, son sold my kiln, I wasn't real keen on learning how to use it, had to have rewiring, and didn't want to run something that hot in the house so I would have to take out any projects I do for firing. I could order some clay, roll it out, and press this plate and some other pretty things I have in it. Sounds like fun if I can find the time. What does your slump mold look like? Also, can you make your own custom-designed bricks in ceramic kilns? I think that would be fun, too, but not at all cost effective. |

Bistro de France
For me, this is the quintessential town bistro. Its individual elements (Formica tables, Naugahyde banquettes) may not be particularly attractive, but those motley parts add up to a beguiling whole. The restaurant was spiffed up a couple of years back with a marbled trompe l'oeil façade, but it remains humble at heart. According to owner-chef Jackie André, the Bistro de France is one of the oldest bistros in Provence, built where a bicycle shop and a café stood back in the twenties. The meals here are good the way the best home cooking is: fresh, unadorned, and generously served. There are black truffles in the winter, melons in the summer, and cèpe mushrooms in the fall. With its seasonal specials and menu classics such as crespéou, a layered Provençal omelette with herbs, spinach, and zucchini, and old-fashioned blanquette de veau—the ultimate bistro comfort food—the Bistro de France always plays to a full house. The crowd chez Jackie is a congenial mix of local businessmen, happy tourists who chose well, and real estate agents dragging along potential clients to show them a bit of local color. There is a daunting rush for tables after Apt's sprawling Saturday morning market, and disappointed shoppers are often turned away. Reserve! 67 Place de la Bouquerie; 33-4/90-74-22-01; lunch for two $60; closed Sunday and Monday.

"The resurgence of the James Bond franchise with Daniel Craig's recent performances on film as 007 have us all thinking about spies again. Despite the end of the Cold War, espionage, whether between governments or industrial espionage between companies, remains very much with us. Yet, despite the cool gadgets seen in movies, whether used by James Bond or those depicted in comedy films like Get Smart and others, the technology of the spy world is never quite as advanced as Hollywood would have us believe.

You Make The Call: Stewart on Kronwall
The video below gives you a chance to play the role of Brendan Shanahan and dole out a suspension (or lack thereof) to Chris Stewart of the St. Louis Blues.
Stewart and Kronwall approach the puck in the boards, Kronwall's back is to Stewart from step one, and Stewart pushes Kronwall towards the boards.
I don't typically give my .02 here because I like to leave it up to you, the readers of FF, but I have to say that if I was Brendan Shanahan, prior history or no, I would throw the book at Stewart in this instance.

The annual ASA Employment Service assists sociologists and prospective employers by providing convenient opportunities for employers and job seekers to meet in a neutral, monitored environment for initial short interviews during the Annual Meeting. Last year in Philadelphia, 81 employers listed 132 positions, including 18 openings outside academia. 347 candidates registered with the service, and 1,720 screening interviews were scheduled.
This year the traditional paper-based service of the 1950s has moved online. Employers and job seekers will be able to enter their information in a module connected to the ASA Job Bank after appropriate fees are paid. Later this summer, an interactive scheduling calendar will be opened for setting up interview appointments.
The move to an electronically based service initiates one change in Employment Service (ES) registration. Employers will be able to pay the ES fee when they enter the information about the position(s) they wish to post in the ES. Those wishing to post their listings in both the Job Bank and the Employment Service will be able to do so easily. As part of the ES registration process, employers will be asked to identify who will be interviewing on-site at the Annual Meeting, and they will be able to search the roster of preregistrants to select their interviewers. All interviewers must preregister for the Annual Meeting.
Candidates who are looking for positions may preregister for the Annual Meeting and for the Employment Service in the same way as in previous years. After preregistering, candidates may then log into the ES module via the Job Bank and fill out the Candidate Profile Form and, if desired, upload a full resume. All preregistered users will be notified via email when the interactive calendars open for appointments.
All service users are urged to preregister by July in order to take full advantage of the pre-convention communication opportunities that the new online Employment Service will offer. Interviewers and candidates are also encouraged to bring their own laptops with them so that they can more easily maintain communications during the Annual Meeting. The on-site service will provide some computer terminals for use by registered ES users, and the ASA Message Center computers will be around the corner.
The Employment Service will be open from Thursday afternoon to mid-day Monday, August 10–14, at the Palais des congrès de Montréal. Please check the Annual Meeting website for more details about online Employment Service procedures this year.

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Macy!
Facts about Macy
- Breed: Domestic Shorthair
- Color: Tiger Striped
- Age: Young
- Sex: Female
- Hair: Short
Macy's Info...
I am already spayed, up to date with shots, good with kids, good with dogs, and good with cats.
This is Macy and the pics here do not do her justice (because she kept sticking her nose in the camera!!). This tiger girl has the most beautiful orange/amber eyes you have ever seen. She is also super lovable and likes to play. She is always calling out to people passing her cage to come up and pet her. She would do great with other cats, dogs,and kids.
In addition to being up to date on all shots and spayed, Macy is microchipped, has been tested for FeLV/FIV, wormed, checked for ear mites and treated with flea meds. Come visit her at Petco today!
Other Pets at Heaven Can Wait Animal Haven
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Macy, a Muskegon Domestic Shorthair cat was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Domestic Shorthair for sale in Muskegon, or seeking a Domestic Shorthair cat from a breeder in Muskegon.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Muskegon 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 Muskegon 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 Domestic Shorthair breeders who help with Domestic Shorthair rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Muskegon paves the way for another one to be saved.

I love Emma Watson in every single way, whether she's Hermione Granger or, well, Emma Watson. (I apologize, but I will never let go of her, or my, Potter past.) She's beautiful, British, smart, stylish, and rocks a daring pixie crop like a pro while flipping the proverbial finger to the suggestion that "men don't like it" — what's not to love? "The Perks of Being a Wallflower" was practically the bible of my Troubled Outcast youth, and there is a good chance I am going to see the movie in theaters multiple times.

I am not the typical audience for a western, but this script is just terrific. You had me locked in by page 10. Your first act is built beautifully. The characters are vivid. Dialogue wonderful and the actions scenes just plain sing. I guess that's the sign of a great script. No matter the tastes of the reader, you win them over anyway by creating a compelling tale. You've certainly done that here for me.
What needs work? In my opinion, just one bit of business:
Elizabeth monologue on page 34 and Matthias monologue on 35 - a bit sappy and cliched. Prior to that you had a script where characters said very little but what they did say carried a lot of weight and depth. Furthermore, I didn't take Matthias as the type who would pour his heart out like that. Prior to this, I saw him as Clint Eastwood. After the speech, I saw Clint Howard.
The indian fight at the 60 page turn was great. The little bit of business between Jefferson and his gun is a nice touch. The revelation at page 72 keeps the story chugging ahead.
Overall, I've got nothing but compliments for this. It's a tight script, well written, energetic and colorful. And to think I was dreading the thought of reading a western. Kudos.

Raindrops on Roses and Whiskers on Kittens
Here are my favourite things (in no particular order but as they appear in my head) or things that make me happy:
The smell of my utterly adorable kids when they first wake up, all sleepy and warm
Being snuggled up in bed reading a good book and listening to the sound of the rain on my attic window.
The smell of my Christmas cake baking (guess what I have been doing)
A crisp Autumn day with a slight chill in the air but with a warm sun
The smell of rain and freshly cut grass
The tradition of Christmas - I am sure every family has their own traditions, some of ours are putting new PJ's on the doorstep on Xmas Eve to wear that night, the kids coming in all excited, shouting "he's been, he's been" and the sitting on our bed to open their stockings, Going to church en famille (usually about 20 of us, even those that don't bother the rest of the year make the effort) followed by champagne in the village pub. The opening of tree presents - taking it in turns.
When my DH comes home from work with a bunch of flowers...just because.
Seeing my parents with my children - the bond is fantastic and makes me realise how lucky we all are
Sitting in a chuch just being with the sun streaming through a stained glass window
Watching my children sleeping, the little baby breaths and sighs make my heart melt
Eating chocolate mousse (nom nom)
When the kids cuddle you for no reason other than to say "I love you"
When all of the children are playing nicely and laughing at each other - I love seeing how their relationships are developing and growing with each other.
Going for a run in my favourite park on a cold day,beautifully crisp and clear with the mist rising of the lowland grass
Flying over London into Heathrow at night and seeing London lit up
Standing on the top of a mountain, getting ready to ski down and not quite knowing what to expect.
The hazy lazy summer days of just "being" in the garden, kids playing in the paddling pool, DH and I listening to the Ipod and watching the clouds and listening to the bees and talking nonsense
A clean house with the lingering smell of beeswax
The smell in the air that lingers after fireworks...
What things are special to you and tickle your fancy?

Hi Super Amazing Mum!
I read your blog today, and think we share a similar quirky look on life, trying to see the best that life has to offer in all situations.
I used to be a SAHM when my kids were little, doing childminding and cleaning jobs around them and their schooling. I am now a little older and retired 2 and half years ago to become my 2nd Husbands carer, and have written a couple of blogs on retired life in a rainforest setting. I live in Tasmania Australia in a small township (100 houses) in a forestry area on the edge of a National Park.
look forward to reading more of your blogs, you may like to check mine out too.
cheers glenysLovely post! We should all spend more time thinking of our favourite things rather than getting wound up by things that we invariably have no control over!
My favourite things are:
-Cuddles with my husband or son
-The way my son runs over to me when I pick him up from nursery. He has a huge smile and out-stretched arms.
- The look on my son's face when he latches on for a breast feed
- Treating myself to a facial or a massage (v rare these days!)
- spending time with good friends
- going for walks and appreciating the countryside around me
- a trip to the theatre or going to a gig (also v rare these days!)
Great to think about these and spend a moment to appreciate them - thank you!linky link link - you are part of this week's I heart me inspiration.

Origin of Common Superstitions Walking Under LaddersAbout the origin of the superstition that it is bad luck to walk under a ladder, history of triangles and the Holy Trinity.WALKING UNDER LADDERS If you walk under a ladder, the wrath of the gods will be upon you. Should you forget and do so, quickly cross your fingers or make a wish. Origin. A ladder leaning against a wall forms a triangle with the wall and the ground. This triangle signifies the Holy Trinity and to enter into the sacred enclosed area is a punishable offense. Also, crossing through this forbidden zone may weaken the powers of the gods and unleash the powers of evil spirits. | ||

Cheap homemade deer repellent..actually works!
posted by: mersiepoo on 05.30.2008 at 06:20 pm in Plants for Difficult Places Forum I did an experiment with my new plants this year. The good thing is is that it works, and my plants haven't been chewed to the ground like they usually are. The bad thing is, is you have to reapply it after a rain, and I am not taking any chances so I apply it every couple of days, at least until the deer have established their feeding habits.
1 egg
Mix in a gallon jug, and pour a little on your plants. I usually make it early in the day so the garlic has a chance to steep. It must work, because other plants that haven't been drenched in the mix have been browsed. Not sure if it works on rabbits, but the deer avoid it! Don't have to use a ton, I just dribble it on all my plants. NOTES: <none>

Thank you again. I would love to hear from any one who has grown these roses for 4 years or so and who prune these roses (if needed).

OGR nurseries
posted by: rosefolly on 09.01.2013 at 12:42 pm in Antique Roses Forum I thought it might be useful to gather the names of OGR nurseries that continue to serve us.
We don't often hear about Greenmantle Nursery in Garberville, California, a vendor of heirloom roses and heirloom apples, but they have been in business for a long time. Anyone I know who buys from them seems to be quite pleased. A little more widely known is High Country Roses in Denver Colorado, http://www.highcountryroses.com/. I have ordered from them myself and the roses were healthy and robust. Just today I ran across a vendor new to me, Azalea House Flowering Shrub Farm in Voorheesville, New York, http://www.floweringshrubfarm.com/. Doesn't sound much like a rose vendor, but it is. They sell lots of lilacs, blueberries, rhododendrons, and azaleas, but also a rather impressive list of European once-blooming OGRs. Their website says that they will sell small plants by mail order and have larger ones available for pick up. Please add your own to this list. I'm hoping we will find that while we have lost some valuable sources, many smaller treasures remain. Rosefolly NOTES: Also Paladine in Canada

RE: Controlling Size of Old Garden Roses (OGR) in a Small Garden (Follow-Up #14)
posted by: Leighsroses on 08.19.2013 at 10:10 pm in Antique Roses Forum Ingrid and Luxrosa, thank you so much! I'm so impressed with the knowledge and talent of this group! And thanks to TomasLearning who asked this question about OGRs in a small garden in the first place! Lol!. My rose garden is a border that is 6'-7' deep and wraps the edges of the rectangular space that forms a small courtyard 35' wide and 50' deep on one side and 28' on the other because of the back porch and house.
So I believe it is a matter of creative use of space. I know that I will be replanting some of my borders and will integrate the roses that both Ingrid and Luxrosa mentioned into the first and back tier. I have thought of espaliering or trellising along the wall of the garage. I need a creative use for the height of these roses... NOTES: <none>

Rose du Roi of commerce; growth habit, suckering, pictures?
posted by: kristimama on 05.06.2011 at 10:30 pm in Antique Roses Forum Hi everyone,
What can you tell me about how Rose du Roi grows? Anyone have pictures of this bush in the garden? All I can find online are close ups of the flower. Vintage says it is "compact, low, and suckering"... but I am too new to roses to really know what that means. How tall is "compact" in an OGR? Can Rose du Roi be pegged horizontally to get more blooms? Or are the canes too stiff... i.e. they only grow up and down? Does suckering mean that this rose will continue to send up new flowering canes, or do you have to remove the "suckers" the way you remove suckers from a grafted fruit tree? Is this a rose that only puts roses on the last couple inches of cane? I love the way this rose smells and I'm trying to figure out where to put her in my garden. Thanks,
NOTES: <none>

Photo tour of Sacramento Cemetery, April 2010
posted by: catspa on 07.02.2013 at 08:31 pm in Antique Roses Forum Considering Ingrid's post, "Posting Pictures of Us", I discovered that I have absolutely no photos of me on my computer, except for one with me in hardhat and safety vest huddled with a bunch of environmental managers over drawings at a construction site -- you wouldn't recognize me, believe me.
However, thinking of where there were photos of me, I remembered this blog entry my husband made of our trip to the Sacramento Cemetery, April 24, 2010. Good grief, I'm sure I've never thought to post it and there are a ton of photos taken by my husband -- many whole-plant and quite a few of roses discussed here frequently and recently -- that some (trapped inside by the heat, perhaps!) may enjoy. (Josh, photos of Mlle. de Sombreuil are Figures 76 and 77 -- note that my husband elevated her to a "Mme" in the captions -- sigh.) Also, the photo record of my first meeting with, and close inspection of, "Vina Banks" is here, whom, by the way, I would fatefully meet again at the Vintage sale table at the Celebration of Old Roses this year. Below is the link for the photos. Most of the photos are labeled with the rose names, but some I couldn't recognize or remember, so if you can provide a name (or correct a name!), I would be glad. Here is a link that might be useful: Sacramento Cemetery photos, April 24, 2010 NOTES: <none>

I'm a novice OGR grower, but I'm preparing a new rose bed (about 25'x5') that I am hoping to fill exclusively with lovely antiques. I'm in coastal, sunny, and mildly, but never oppressively humid Santa Monica, CA. Everyone I have had the pleasure to speak with about my climate -particularly Jeri- has led me towards Teas, Chinas, and Noisettes as the premier OGRs for this climate. My research has mostly stayed within the confines of these classes, but I have a few questions about Hybrid Musks, an HP, and a Portland rose as well. I'd love to hear what folks in similar climates have to say about the following roses they have experience with. I'm worried the mature sizes listed in compendiums for most of these roses are not quite true to this climate. In particular I am considering: 2 Compact Reds amongst Francis Dubreil, Agrippina, Cramoisi Superior, Fabvier, Eugene de Beauharnais, and Slater's Red. I've read that Agrippina is the "dwarf" Cramoisi, so that seems ideal. I really love Francis Dubreil, so I would be thankful for anyone who can let me know a realistic mature size to expect. 2 Compact White/Creams amongst Devoniensis (shrub), Ducher (I've read it can get to 6x6, but mostly see smaller dimensions mentioned), Niphetos (same story as Ducher), and any recommendations you have. I already have Souvenir d'Elise Vardon planned elsewhere if anyone thinks that would work here. 2 Small to Medium (Upright is fine, spread should be no more than 4.5' ideally) Reds amongst White Pearl in Dragon's Mouth, Louis Phillipe, Arthur de Sansal (anyone try this in a coastal climate?), and Baron Girod de l'Ain (anyone think this has a chance/tried it in a costal climate?). Can you think of any other moderate sized Red Chinas or HPs that could make it here? 2 Yellow/Buttery Cream 10' Pillar Roses amongst Celine Forestier, Buff Beauty (Do Hyb. Musks do well here? I've seen Ballerina doing very well not far from here.), Allister Stella Grey, and even Marie Van Houtte. I've read MVH listed anywhere from 4-9' in height, so comments from anyone growing it around here are appreciated. 2 Medium to slightly Spreading Pink Blends amongst Mme. Berkeley, Rose Delizy, Monsieur Tillier, Maman Cochet/White Maman Cochet, Mlle. Franziska Kruger, Catherine Mermet, Archiduc Joseph, Archduke Charles, Sophie's Perpetual, Triumph de Luxemborg, Jean Bach Sisley, and the reputed giant Mrs. Dudley Cross. There are so many that fit the bill, but I don't want something that will get too out of hand. I will not be neglecting these roses, so I can't imagine them becoming a sprawling, unpruned mass. Nevertheless, something that gets to a 5x5 square or equivalent circle would be just about ideal. I would also appreciate it if you have any experience pillaring (I'm looking to pillar to about 10') any of these roses: One last question -I'm sorry to be bombarding you all right now- about mature size: I truly appreciate any information you can offer this enthusiastic, but inexperienced rose grower. There are so many incredible roses that should thrive here, but they are so variable in their true growing patterns that Ive grown somewhat incredulous at the rose guides and other books I've picked up or checked out over the past months during planning. Nothing beats first hand experience from neighbors (if only in climate). Cheers, NOTES: <none>
