WOW!!! Now that was worth waiting on, such beautiful roses. THANKS for sharing with us and can't wait to see more soon. Harold |
wow and hurrrrrray! hahaha! me and you too I was up wayyyy past my bedtime. Wow, your Madame Hardy is soooo prolific! Madame Viennot is very beautiful too. I am very much looking forward to alllll your roses. What fun to have a fellow gardener buddy to share roses with! My BF always jokes about getting the salt shaker for mine, hee-hee! Jim and Harold, everyone, this is the time difference that I grabbed from Google. "If you live in United States and you want to call a friend in Australia, you can try calling them between 4:15 PM and 8:15 AM your time. This will be between 7AM - 11PM their time, since Australia is 14.75 hours ahead of United States. Hahaha, looks like the 2:15 a.m. would work for me since I'm the late night owl, hehehehehe! speaking of which, whooops, my post is at the wroooong time currently since it's 2:38 p.m. lol! ah, well. Have a nice sleep Karen! |

Thanks Harold and Serena for your wonderful replys. I can't wait to post some more tonight, got more roses to plant now, and also get some own roots to sent in the mail that I am selling to once person and swapping with friends. |
We will be waiting to view your roses! Post away...LOL JIM |
hee-hee, Jim I bet you and Sue are now sleeping. Me, I'm awake and it's midnight, LOL! Rosemeadow, I bet you may be still out gardening since it's probably only 3:00 p.m. Australian time, if I calculate correctly. Wow, rootings to trade...Hmmm, Rosemeadow, about a month ago I saw someone post up a photo of a light tent for their rootings; it almost looked like one of those child tents that kids set up inside their bedroom. Do you have those by the way? I tried to find the photo but eventually gave up because it was buried within a thread that had a completely different originating message and so the rooting tent could not be easily found since it was a "side topic". |

Hi Serena, its 9.00p.m now, so it would be about 7.00 a.m. for you, going on what you worked out. I only got a few roses planted today, had to catch up on house work and a quick trip to town, which is 16kms away. Didn't post the ownroots, I have decied to do it Wednesday morning instead. Tomorrow I want to spend all day planting. We might be geting some rain over the next day or so. The Hybred Tea, Florribunda, modern climber and minature rose planting in the old vegetable garden was so easy. But I have started planting the Heritage roses now, and the last spot was very dry so I put a bucket of water in the whole to make it good digging tomorrow. It would be fanstastic if we could get some good rain to save me alot of work. I have about 140 roses left to plant of this order. The order I just finished planting was 48 Hybred Teas and the other types I mentioned above. After that I have another order of 110 roses to come from another rose nursrey. My main aim this Spring/Summer/Autum is to keep every one of them alive. I have less then a month to plant them all. If it warms up enough near the end I will start planting at night with a spot light. I have planted all night before on moonlit nights with a torch or car headlights, in a previous garden ( thats another story ). I laughed Serena when you said your boyfriend teased you about shaking salt around them. My partner calls my roses blackberries, which are noxious plants over here. Here are some photos of the climbing rose that was on this block of land before I bought it. The women from the Australia Heritage Rose Society found the identidy of my rose after I emailed them some photos a rose friend had taken of it for me. IT's name is Fourtune's Double Yellow. It is a Climbing Tea rose brought from China. It is only once blooming and has a fragrance . Well as you can see, I am proud of my adopted rose that was grown from a cutting by the man I bought my place off, taken from a old Wattle and Dabe house that was just up on the hill from here, before it was bulldozed down about 15 years ago I was told. It blooms like this for about 3 to 4 weeks. I have collected some seeds from it and after having them in the bottom of the fridge for about two months I have taken them out and hope they will start germinating soon. I also used its pollen to hand pollinate some of my roses in my garden. So I hope their seeds germinate too. The first time I have done this, thanks to people helping me through forums. As you have helped me to achieve this thread. Thankyou all very much ! |

WOW!!! What a gorgeous and health climing rose. But it's got nothing on your last picture, what a little cutie. Rosemeadow; here's another picture DON JUNA it's third blooming this year. THANKS for sharing. Harold |
Wow! Nice pics of your roses rosemeadow_gardener and Harold! rosemeadow, those rose bushes of yours are huge...Wow! I didn't know serenasyh boyfriend uses salt instead of fertilizer on her roses...LOL...Just teasin! LOL Be waiting for your rose pics on Wednesday! JIM |

I love your Don Juan, what a rich colour, can't wait till mine is like that. Yes Jim, I will certainly be busy so I better get to bed ! Luckily my partner fixed my sharp spade that started to brake when I come to the dryer ground yesterday. |
Yes, you better get some sleep, so, you have enough energy to plant all those roses. Very nice pics of your garden and house! JIM |
- Posted by phatboyrose N/W FL. - 8 (My Page) on Mon, Aug 10, 09 at 12:26
Such a nice place you have and to think you grew all those roses from cuttings; that thumb must be mighty green, but not as green as I am. Boy with all that space you have I would kill myself planting roses. I can see now that this winter when it's cold here I'll be able to enjoy some AWESOME roses from down under. THANKS and keep them coming. Harold |
Wow, oh, woooooow! What gorgeous! photos of the roses! darn I missed out on you. Thank goodness we have early risers (Harold and Jim) here! I'm the opposite, a late night owl. At the beginning I used to force myself to wake up at the crack of dawn but that'd meant getting just 3-4 hours of sleep and as my roses got older and less care was needed I started getting up later! Usually when I train Eluane for agility, I prefer taking her at 11:00-midnight that way it's just she and I instead of having to share practice time with other people and with the long distance we have to drive I often don't come home until 1:30 a.m. So as you can see I have very bad nighttime habits. Fortune's Double yellow is magnificent! and a real treat and oh what a beautiful little girlie you've got photographed there. For some reason, hardly anyone visits here who grows tea roses, so this is a super treat. Everyone will love and think your roses are very special because of this, in addition to their beauty! I hardly get to see any what I term Romantic Roses, the tea roses. Those weepers are also magnificent! I can't wait until you start posting the descriptors for those. I bet they'll be roses that we rarely see in the U.S. But I guess I'll have to hold my breath and wait. So you too are growing Don Juan like Harold? Harold got tons of compliments when he first posted his. My baby climbers have such tiny buds on them right now. Hope they don't stay that way, LOL! I've got Pennylane and America, but Pennylane is particularly miniscule, lol! the plant looks big and huge for a "baby" own root beginner rose, but the buds so itsy-bitsy! The color arrangement of the weepers are gorgeous and so are the companion plants that you've got going. Fabulous just fabulous! P.S. Harold was joking about being "green". I'm not sure how much of Australian and American jokes/slang is shared. He was contrasting your extra green thumb (gardening genius) with him being ultra "green" (which means a "novice") Harold, that was funny! but at least you don't have the perfect moniker that I have, which is "lopsided gardener". People enjoy Harold's roses for the right reasons, whereas my roses are comedic relief. Jim I have to show you my latest lopsidedness. One of my Lincolns is acting very berserk! it is so embarrassing at the joke it's playing on me right now! Just like Fragrant Cloud did when a heavy rainstorm hit.... |

I find it hard to believe that you can grow roses that are SO prolific and ablaze with color. I tip my hat!! Thanks for the lovely pictures. Carol |

Thankyou Harold, Jim, Serena and Canadian Rose for your sweet comments. The roses on their own roots infront of my house, right to left are Pierre de Ronsard on the verandah post, Souvenir de St Anne, Trevor Griffiths, Kathleen Harrop, Benjamin Britten ( the last are David Austins ). The pink weeper is Renae, and the white weeper is Heideschnee. I went through some of your prevous posts, I loved your Gemini photo, Serena ( I planted one the other day, I have been wanting it for a while ) and I adorted your Fragrant Clould. Mine is only a small bush so far. Canadian Rose, that photo was taken in the middle of late Spring/ early Summer. It looks pretty awlfully drab now. I am happy with what I have been able to plant today. I am glad you are keen to see my photos as I enjoy posting them. |
whoo-hoo, Pierre de Ronsard, Souvenir de St. Anne, Trevor Griffiths, Kathleen Harrop, Renee and Heideschnee are alllll new to me! I'm so excited! I've heard the name Pierre de Ronsard and Benjamin Britten, and am looking forward to getting closeup views too once your prime season hits. Well, I'm thrilled for you that you're getting your Gemini. It is such a beautiful rose and I hope yours ends up being a fragrance sport like mine. There's a pretty big debate about how can a Gemini have fragrance. I forgot to argue that I have a Queen Elizabeth at my house and it's got no! fragrance whereas my Dad has a Queen Elizabeth and his has significantly more fragrance than mine. hee-hee, so my feeling is that indeed even roses can vary in which fragrance gene they inherit. lol! JeffAurora's Gemini is absolutely amazing. He posted his about one month ago. Well, hope this time you'll have better luck with sorting out your photos. There's actually 2 ways of doing it. I put the alternate way in your other thread called "Photos from Rosemeadow in Australia". You see sometimes when you are in the middle of deleting and adding posts to your Photobucket, the HTML code changes. That is why you get the wrong photos. The second way is actually a little bit easier because it allows you to get the most current and correct HTML code and there's no extra window blocking your view from the rest of the photos. I drew out a diagram for you. You can always give it a try and see if this works out better for you. |

Very nice photos! Love all your different types of rose blooms! Keep those photos coming! JIM |
Rosemeadow, I am absolutely gaa-gaa over your roses! They are gorgeous and spectacular. I hope everyone has the chance to see them on this forum! wow, oo-wowww! Believe me, no one is going to be even thinking weeds, those roses totally take over everything! Spectacular. I would call them Moulin Rouge (as in the movie) roses. Just curtains and curtains of roses and pure color! I just love your Pinkie, Renae, Pierre do Bonsard, and that magnificent Double Fortune yellow, but the single up close blooms are unforgettable as well--Hardy, Gloire de Guillan. And I am actually skipping several roses already in the names! Like 10 other roses you labeled, LOL! I am totally impressed!!!! Well, I am actually a little jealous that your s.o (significant other) gave you such pretty rose clippings; my s.o. glares at my roses, hee-hee! and just barely tolerates my orchids. But he does loooove Eluane! Here he is smiling with my Eluane on her birthday. The shot is from a children's little red playhouse at a park. By the way, the way you found has the exact same concept what I wrote about and is useful when you need to see the photo up close to make sure that's the photo you want. However! it brings you to another screen and you still have to backtrack like one has to backtrack with Jim's way. You see if you are in your photobucket album screen that has dozens and dozens of photos in it and you know exactly! which thumbnail photos you want, all you have to do is mouse over that thumbnail and that same type of box with the HTML code will appear. If you look at the screen capture I made for you it should look exactly as is shown. This shortcut makes it easier to select your photos very quickly because thumbnails allow you to see entire album pages instead of having to go back to each individual photo and returning alllll the way back to the album to select the next photo. It's instant selection. But yes, if you need to see the entire photo up close, your way is perfect! that's actually the 3rd way of getting images onto your post. Hurrray, you're really starting to get the hang of it. |
1. go to your photo album. Mouse over the photo you want. A hand symbol should appear and a yellow box with the words, HTML code. 2. copy the code in your HTML code and paste into your message. 3. go to the next photo you want. Mouse over that photo. Select the HTML code on that yellow box, copy and paste that into your next photo. This saves you from having to go from screen to screen and allows you to select your photos faster. Here is a screen shot of the yellow box. Notice how the other photos don't have this box showing up. The reason why is because the mouse is only hovering above that specific image. |

Thanks Jim and Serena, I am real pleased you liked the rose photos and it has helped me learn how to use these great tools - the computer and Photo Bucket. Your boyfriend is very handsome, Serena, and thats a great photo. I will try the above way tonight, its real handy that you can do the loading quickly as Thumbnails or when you are looking through the enlarged photos. Now I really will be able to load some photos this growing season. Also store photos and use Photo Bucket as a very clever photo albumn. |
Well, Rosemeadow, hee-hee, now I am really going to be in a quandry. I started collecting/clipping out Boxofrox's photos and JeffAurora's photos and now I've got to add yours too to the collection. I am so mad that GardenWeb only allows 50 clippings. Hmmm, maybe it's time for me to give a request whether this rule can be bent. LOL! O.K. I'll be back! I'm clipping right now! |
- Posted by phatboyrose N/W FL. - 8 (My Page) on Tue, Aug 11, 09 at 19:10
Rosemeadow; I'm lost for words to decribe all of the roses you have posted. Soo many beautiful roses I'm so impressed. Some time you'll have to share your secerts of rooting.THANKS for sharing. Harold |
- Posted by rosemeadow_gardener (My Page) on Wed, Aug 12, 09 at 11:51
Thanks Harold for your comments. Certainly I will tell you about growing ownroot roses from cuttings. Next time. Serena I didn't know about the Clippings link, thanks for telling me. You flatter me, to say you are collecting my photos too ! Here are some Winter photos of our place with the poles and arches I put in, and the extension in the length of the garden. The arches are not pefect as they are a bit twisted how I have put the post in, but I am hoping the roses covering them in the future will make them perfect. When all the bareroot roses for this Winter are planted I should about 400 more different varieties of roses in my garden to fill it up much more. I have planted about 100 of them so far. Some of these photos are taken from the upstairs sunroon and also a stand outside. The black pots are where I have planted my own ownroot roses, to give them a bit of protection from frosts, wind, Kangaroos or human feet. In at least one the photos you can see my green shade house near the road, which is where I grow my cuttings. I use to have young cut roses growing in the hot house at the end of my garden, they grew fanstastic in there but when I put too many in there they got mildrew and covered in alwful sticky black stuff from insects. I wasn't spraying them, the organic stuff didn't work so I pulled them all out and planted them outside before last Spring. They should look better this year. |
Wow, that is a labor of love and some major, major rose-planting there! And yes, I did see your green shade house too peeking out of one of your photos and another white tent-like structure as well. You have a sunroom too???? I am so jealous! Had I a sunroom I'd put both! my tree roses there for the winter... I hate to put them into the cold dark garage, and will be a nervous wreck during winter, hoping they'll be o.k.! So where are your dogs and sheep? It's hilarious that you have to worry about bouncing Kangaroos. My most hated nemesis is the bouncing Monster Rabbit. Boy do I hate those furry greedy fat little creatures. They breed like crazy and they eat baby roses until nothing is left! Grrrrrrr! So you don't get snow? I notice you say Winter and yet you are still planting so many roses. Wowwwwww! By the way do you grow Penny Lane by any chance? or know anything about this climbing rose? I originally freaked out when I saw my young Penny Lane's first blooms because they were so tiny. The plant itself is very large for being so young (I feel a little bit better because the final bloom is not as miniscule as when they first start opening up... Here is my Penny Lane: Here is what Penny Lane was supposed to be like (according to vendor photos) I am wondering how long it will take my Penny Lane to reach it's mature size....It's a 1 year and 8 months perhaps, my guess is. It is an own-root, not grafted, rose. I figure that perhaps you may have seen it? I know Penny Lane originates in England. |
1 yr sleep, 2nd year it creepes, 3rd yr it leaps. Generally true for most plants. I've heard alot of rose growers comment on they never expect to much out of there roses the first couple of years. When I'm done, I will have roses that bloom a large part of the season. If they don't by the 4th year, they are getting shovel pruned and replaced...LOL JIM |
AWESOME PICS ROSEMEADOW! You have some very nice roses and I always love to see landscape pics! Those rose catalogs only show the bloom. I enjoy seeing the bloom itself and the entire rose bush to see how it grows. JIM |
- Posted by rosemeadow_gardener (My Page) on Wed, Aug 12, 09 at 19:21
I am glad you mentioned Penny Lane, Serena. I had a young grafted Penny Lane around 8 years ago and I thought it was very pretty when it bloomed but the it and then atleast a couple of hundred other rose I had got were killed by a bushfire. It was heart breaking when it happened and I at first said I would never garden again if nature could do that to your work. It didn't take young before the garden spirit kicked back in though. Not long after that my husband and I seperated and latter divorced. With the settlement money I bought this 30 acre block of land in the same area. My ex still had his property and house and our two girls are with me during the week and with their dad most weekends unless he is off to a dog trial. They also go to dog trials sometimes too. With lived in a few caravans and a old truckvan with a fireplace in it for a few years before the bank let me have a loan to built a two story barn shed which are becoming very popular as houses on properties. I love it and it was the cheapest option for me. I really wanted a two story once I saw them, I wanted that more than haveing a fully lined one story for the same price. My partner now, filled in the upstairs verandah ( it had no walls or flooring to start with, just the beams and the roof ), to make it a sunroom with a wonderful view of our property. Also he built the upstairs bedrooms for the girls. The last job he did was was to do the bottom bedroom. Back to Penny Lane. I now have a ownroot I grew from cuttings I got at my friend, Lynette's large rose garden. It is about the same age as your one. So we can compare as they mature. Mine hasn't bloomed yet I don't think. Its slowly growing. I met Lynette back when she opened her garden in the Open Garden Scheme when I still had my 1st garden before the fire. Back to about the first garden I had - The nice rose garden around the house that had been there when we had bought the place had't got burnt, only the rose garden I had extented into the paddock. One day I will post some photos of it, eventhough it doesn't exist anymore. My ex ended up selling that property and bought another one in the area. The fellow that bought it I latter saw had knocked out every single rose around the house and put natives in. Here are a few photos from Lynette's garden. I better get to my rose planting. It has warmed up a bit outside I reckon. My youngest girl is still sleeping. Bye ! |

I'm just amazed at all the work you'ved done and the roses are just captivating. You have made my day-week THANKS Harold |
Wow, so many life changes you've had to endure Rosemeadow! I am so glad that things are settling for you and that you have new roses, a new lovely home that your partner built for you, and beauty galore where you've now settled at. Reminds me so much of the tons of happiness after the hardships. Isn't it awful how things like a brushfire and a different homeowner can wipe out all our hard work so quickly. It never ceases to shock me. There was another person on the forum who had tons and tons of beautiful roses over 200 of them. When he ended up moving, he had to get an entire trailer to house his 100 roses but had to leave the rest of them behind. None of those roses survived the person he sold his home to. Well it's wonderful that we have sister! roses--Penny Lane! whoo-hoo! I love Lynette's huge rose bush! It was fun learning how you and she met. James and I used to work at the same architectural firm for a few years (I was a 3D animator there; James did video/multimedia and marketing). Within a month after I left the company, James asked me out and we've been together ever since. How is your s.o. doing with his health? Jim's wife Sue has to undergo treatment this Friday. I am keeping you both in my prayers. Anyway, I am thrilled to have an Australian friend with gorgeous roses! I am just so amazed at the wonderful things you have and are continually developing with the new roses. Have fun gardening and many hugs to your children. I've seen your youngest and am looking forward to photos of your other daughter. Is she old enough to start learning how to do trialing? |
- Posted by rosemeadow_gardener (My Page) on Thu, Aug 13, 09 at 18:27
I am real glad I have made your week Harold. I slacked off last night and went to look at Helpmefindroses so I could check out some of the roses I am planting. Serena, I am excitted about having you all here as friends too! You do such lovely replying posts. Last night though I read your very nice posts but decied to wait til morning to reply. That is a very romantic story about your boyfriend and yourself. The photo I wanted to post here of my family has a invalid file size, so I will have to look into that. I forgot to say the photo of your Penny Lane looked good, mine isn't that big let. Also one day I would love you to show me how to make a little video of my kelpies working to put here. We should do it with garden videos, why don't people do that here if it can be done ? |
Rosemeadow, I am very much looking forward to your family photo! Do you have an image editing software like Photoshop? Any image editing software? Make a copy of your photo file and give it a new name. Resize it down to either 800x600 or 640x480. Interestingly camera formats reduce down to exactly 600x400 and preserves the same ratio. I'm not sure why this is. Videos--do you have it in .wmv format? That is the format that can be viewed on the web. Or is the video still "stuck" inside your video camera. Let me know and I'll try to help. If the video is still stuck inside your camcorder, the steps can get quite complicated to get from your camcorder into your computer. It requires getting the right connector and opening up a video editing program to get your video file converted to a .wmv. There are photo places that can help you convert your videos as well I believe. Just be sure to ask for both .wmv files besides regular DVD files. The two are completely separate from each other: DVD files play on DVD players and computers but only .wmv files can be played on the web. Once you have the .wmv you need to upload it to Vimeo. This is an even better! site than Photobucket. Photobucket has so much annoying advertisements. Vimeo bans advertisements and keeps their site clean. Vimeo is our number one site for dog agility videos because you can place exceptionally high quality video there without paying extra. UTube you get these nasty, blurry pixelated videos if you try to do it for free, plus I'm just not a fan of UTube. Lots of weird videos there whereas Vimeo is more for artists or people who have a real passion for their hobbies and want to get the highest quality video possible. |

That Fortune's Double Yellow is amazing. It makes me want to find a Eucalyptus tree to grow it on. That rose that grew from a cutting from your partner's work looks like it might be Passionate Kisses. I just got one, and I really love the really vivid neon color. - Becky |

Rosemeadow, I'm just setting here with mouth wide open in awe of your posts. It's like a good book you can't wait to turn the page to see what waits you, and in your case I'm never disappointed. THANKS SOO MUCH. Got to go to bed so I can beat the sunrise in the morning. Harold |
- Posted by rosemeadow_gardener (My Page) on Wed, Aug 19, 09 at 8:17
Thankyou Serena, Becky and Harold for your truely lovely messages for me to come back to see. I had a break from posting photos as it does take time to do, but all your coments surely make it worth it. I have been spending my computer time just looking on Helpmefindroses to see the roses I have been planting. Do you all like to go there ? Such wonderful rose photos there. Serena, my daughter and I ( and my 2 year old ) had to spend another night in hospital, as she had to have another operation ( well the first wasn't a real operation I surpose but it seemed like it as they did put her out to it when they set her arm )so they could put some screws and a plate in her arm rather than the cast which hadn't put her arm where it should have been to mend right. She is alot happier without the heavy cast now, anyway, and went back to school today. My partner got the biopsy done today and we saw a speacialist the other day, so we go back next week to see him and see what has to be done. I saw your post the other day but I left it to answer later as I was tired that night. Re reading it now I realize how much valuable imformation you gave so I can learn to do other things. I am sorry I was rude in not ansewring you straioght away. When I sugested about sending you a tape of my Kelpie Laura working in a trial, and also some Border Collies, I was thinking I could send you a video tape through the mail after I got around to making a copy. But we have a camcorder now and I could take some footage of my present kelpies working too as I need to learn to do this as I need to make a web site to start selling my pups. I will go to the photo shop and get them to copy my tapes for me. Thanks for telling me about that, we haven't learnt to copy them ourselves yet. At the moment though I need to concentrate on planting my new roses. Also I bought 28 more fruit trees ( 8 are Citrus trees ) to fill up that part of our garden, I nearly have all the trees planted. The ground is drying out here, so I have to start pre watering the spot for each rose. I was going to load up a photo or two but Photo Bucket is not loading up properly for me tonight so I will have to try tomorrow. |

I have been trying to upload some photos onto photo bucket but it just won't work for me. It goes straight to 100 %, and when it does that I know its not going to work. I don't know what I am doing wrong. I have already resized them. |
Never had that happen rosemeadow. Maybe serenasyh can shed some light on that problem. JIm |
Hi, Rosemeadow! I missed out on your thread because it keeps getting buried by other threads! so sorry I missed on them, I usually get here in the late afternoon, and by then other threads have pushed down your thread. Actually when you are ready to send your new photos just start a new thread and we can help you with your photos. Rosemeadow I suspect that you are worrying too much about your photos. I bet they will work! Photobucket usually has an automatic resizing feature anyway. Do you mind sending me the link so that I can take a closer look? Or you can email me 2 test photos and I will test them out on my Photobucket account for you. O.K. about video and website! it is a very laborious process that takes a minimum! of a couple of hours of work just for one video. Usually web design for a professional take a month to design and getting video into your own website requires several software programs that cost uhhhh, three thousand dollars (requires Adobe Dreamweaver, Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Premiere and either Adobe Illustrator or Fireworks). So it's something that you have to hire someone to do. On the other hand you can just have a hyperlink to a video like Vimeo. The only bad part is that Vimeo has a rule that you cannot use videos for commercial purposes, it is strictly for sharing purposes-that is how they keep spammers and annoying commercials out. They want their services to be free and clear of those complications; . Maybe what you can do is if people are interested in your pups you can email them the hyperlink instead. Here is a link to Vimeo. Videotapes you definitely have to send to a store to get it translated into a compatible format. They involve a completely! different process than Camcorder videos. Camcorder videos are much easier to get into your computer compared to VHS. VHS you need to buy actual computer components/computer parts to translate VHS. If you have more questions on the process, you can email me and I'll try to help explain more about what is involved. So when is the day that you will find the results of the Biopsy? I hope your daughter's arm is feeling much better too. Ouch! poor girl. I am sorry to hear that the cast didn't do the right thing uggggggh! |

Hi Serena, thanks for all your knowledge and time. I will try again with photobucket and then do a private email if I have trouble still. Thanks ! We are going to wait for the results of the biopsy from our specialist when we see him on the 28th of August. My daughter has gone back to shcool now, she is using a computer to do her work at school, only thing she has got to learn to type quicker. She is coping really well now but counting the days weeks down. I don't care wether you call me Rosemeadow or Karen. Just really glad to have you all as friennds. I better go plant some more roses. I am pre soaking the ground the night before now before I plant. I am still having fun planning and planting! |
Hi, Karen! I am keeping prayers for every one. I have to highlight August 28th too (next Friday)! Hope and hope for a really accurate diagnosis and hopefully a good-result (benign) cause of the symptoms. It's real important, crucial to get an accurate diagnosis so that we can get everything treated. That is the most important. So am keeping my fingers crossed! |

Thankyou for your prayers Serena. I will have to get someone to look at my computer and tell me why my photos are not loading onto Photo Bucket now. |
Karen, you are in our prayers! Hopefully, everything works out for the good! JIM |
Karen, I tried to click on your profile but there's no email. You can try to email me 2 photos, and I'll try to load them "raw" into my Photobucket account and see why Photobucket isn't automatically resizing them for you. If you click on my name you should be able to see that email option. Everything is there, my email and my clippings. I have 2 emails: email@example.com firstname.lastname@example.com |

rosemeadow, I was googling images of 'Souvenir de Madame Leonnie Viennot', and came across yours. Then, I saw your spectacular pics of Fortune's Double Yellow. Wonderful! Such a beautiful, gentle spot where you live. The first photos I've ever seen, of the plant in its entirety. Our Decorator in Mississippi grew that rose at his office: in a tiny pocket of soil, maybe three by six feet. Two sides were bordered by retaining wall, one by the corner of the building, and one by the AC Compressor Pad. So, you had this windswept corner...hot winds coming off black Asphalt parking lots... hot air coming from the AC Compressor Fans...in Mississippi, which is nearly as hot a place as is Australia. The 'soil' in that spot was a mixture of red clay and construction derbris (mortar, sand, rebar, cinderblock, styrofoam, plastic stucco slop, wood scraps...). A more miserable and dessicating spot I cannot imagine. But that Rose was SPECTACULAR. It looked like a Chinese painting on Silk. I will note that he cut branches of that Rose for a couple of events. The blossoms continued to open, in the way that forced fruit tree branches continue to blossom. And the Apple Green foliage was so lovely. So interesting to see Fortune's Double Yellow grown in a less stressing spot. |

I was very close to comming back to Garden Web to tell you about what I am starting to do, and then I got a email from Serena who I haven't talked with for a while. What a lovely surprise ! And she also told me how two recent comments had been made about a old post of mine. Thankyou Plan9fromposhmaidison and hosenemesis. My news is that the neighbouring properties and myself have been bought out by a future coal mine that the N.S.W. goverment is planning to build. We couldn't stay here and fight as I was very worried for our health. I am in the process of buying a 3 bedroom brick house with 13 and a half acres in Tasmania. I was very lucky to get it very cheap. I think it will be perfect for my future garden, my children and I went down to look at it last week and we loved it. I am starting to dig up my roses to take down in just under 6 weeks. The roses have to be dipped by a quaretine inspector before I can take them to Tasmania. I have roughly 900 different varieties to dig up, but I do have a year before I have to move from here. I want to take as many as I can this first trip and I will spend a month planting them at my new place. I actuall won't be living permanently in Tasmania for 5 and a half years, we will just go down for all our holidays. I want my two eldest daughters to finnish their schooling here in the same school untill the coal trains start going through our town and then I will move them away to the next town which is bigger. The trains are said not to go throug the bigger town but if they do, I will leave this area and go to Tasmanian early. I don't want my children exposed to coal dust. The other main reason I am staying for ther time being is so my older two daughters can visit there father, my ex of ten years, every weekend still. First I dug out my huge Martine Guillot, another day I dug 19 young shrub roses I planted last year. Today I dug out my Banksia Normalis which was my biggest rose, its only a real heavy thing to carry now. I have to cut most of the roses back, espeacially the big ones. The Normalis is on its own roots. Tomorrow I |

My keyboard stopped working so I had to post without finnishing my post. I was going to say, tomorrow I start in earnest, least now I know I can dig out any rose here I reckon, after practising on the Banksia today. Except the Fortune's Double Yellow which I never planted. That rose has been covered in a blackberry that took over it very quickly. I thought why bother doing anything with it when it might be dug up as part of the coal mine one day anyway, but I never expected it to take it over so quicky. They were the best Blackberries to eat though. I have a small FDY I got from very close to the mother bush, so I will take it to Tasmania. IF I could I would dig the big one, save it from the black berry and mines, I will have a look, but it is so huge and thorny. I am sorry about the mistakes earlier, I couldn't correct them because of the key board not working. It was good to hear how tough FDY is Plants9poshmadison, and your lovely discription of it. |
Great to hear from you Karen! I hope your move goes well for you & your roses... |
- Posted by rosemeadow_gardener (My Page) on Sat, Apr 28, 12 at 0:44
Thanks Jim, its very good to talk with you again too. I hope things are going well for you as well. |
Wow, so many roses to transport too, Karen! Keeping my fingers crossed all will be smooth moving for you. As soon as I got your email I let Jim know you had written on your thread! I was going to write, but the scary truth is that I woke up at 4:33 p.m. (am battling this terrible chest cough, sore throat and meds have been knocking me out) and then saw your email. Then I had to do rush emergency planting right before the thunderstorm hit (just received roses from Palatine yesterday) and I needed to get everything into the ground before the storm. Well all that labor caused me to get sick again around 8:50 p.m. which is why I didn't write back yet... But I'm real happy that Jim has helped write for me, lol! Karen, I just don't see how you can do all this hard work! I had to throw up my hands and give up many a time....My soil in unbroken new ground is as hard as a rock and basically needs a jackhammer it seems...I just can't get my shovel into that rock hard clay. It's been soooo frustrating...And Australia just seems very desertlike, and it would take great strength to dig into that soil I'm thinking..... I am so glad Ray had real good foresight on providing for you and the girls when he knew he had cancer; and that you could purchase the Tasmania property. With this place that you can take time to develop while you maintain your current home. Be sure to update us on your progress. Smiles and hugs, Serena |
- Posted by rosemeadow_gardener (My Page) on Sun, Apr 29, 12 at 9:59
Dear Serena, I am sorry to hear you are sick. I hope you get well soon. So far with one good watering the roses are provng easy to lift the root ball with a crow bar, after having cut all the canes low down with a branch saw, then cutting the thick roots with the branch saw and any thinner roots with a knife that haven't already snapped. I have dug up some really big roses aready, its not hard after all. We have had three cool wettish Summers and it is so rare that I have had to water my roses, that I could count the times on one hand I think. The reason I can buy the place in Tasmania is that the future coal mine is buying me out at present, and the bank is letting me swap my loan over to the new property in Tasmania. I can stay on here for a year if I want because that is the deal the coal mine management has been letting people do when the properties are sold to them. I will post some photos of my new place when we go back down. Serena, no more planting roses before storms while you are sick ! |
In general things are going well here Karen... Here's a pic of our grandson. My wifes daughters son... That's a long story but Serena can fill you in by e-mail. |
Karen, dear rose forumers, I wish you could see Baby Gunnar's Christmas videos! They are soooooo adorable! I have suggested Vimeo for Jim. It's a great place for video. The dog agility folks in England loooooved Vimeo, but now many want to go viral so they use YouTube instead.....With Vimeo there is more privacy. The disadvantage with Vimeo is that you can only upload one HD video per week unless you want to upgrade. YouTube there is no limit. You can make videos more private on YouTube, but you have to sift through hoops and a lot of settings.... How is your Kelpie breeding going Karen? Will talk to you soon! I have to rush and explain some of my garden experiments to the Peter Beales forum before I sound like the Alice In Wonderland Mad Hatter, haha! Hugs and be sure to post your rose photos at our Gallery! |

Jim, your grandson is very adorable, he must bring you alot of joy. Serena, my working Kelpie breeding is going the best it ever has in giving me some really good sheepdogs, and I have been told by quite a few people, will be appreciated by people in Tasmania. How is your Boarder Collie going ? Tomorrow I am going on a bus to Sydney to attend a march to Parliament House against so much coal minning and future coal seam gas. Farmers and country people are very anoyed that the goverment is letting it happen when we are worried about loosing our valuable water and good farming land. I feel a bit hypocrital because I sold to the mines but I couldn't sacrifice my children's and my health, and my dogs and roses health, to stand up to them and not move. They would have confiscated my land in the end anyway - though hopefully coal minning will stop. I want to still help in some way. |
Our grandson sure does light up our life Karen! |
Wonderful to hear about the Kelpie breeding. When I have time I'll dig up some of my dance videos with Eluane and also her agility photos. But you can also see her in my 2012 Lumpy Lopsided thread. Pretty Eluane photos with Cornelia going gangbusters Today, much to my shock James wants me to put her on a diet...I love calling her the chubby puppy, but I didn't realize she put on that much weight!!! :O! Even my dad who normally spoils her to death says she's a bit too chubby????? I was sick for 3 months so she didn't get as much exercise as she used to. Do you think she's too chubby?? The dancing videos were way back in early January. I'll find them later when I have time....I have to finish up some freelance deadlines! And no you are not!!! being hypocritical. Safety for one's family and oneself is the most important. Hurray on your march, Karen. Saving Nature and the environment is very important, and I applaud you. |

MIDDLESBORO, Ky. (AP) - Rangers in the Cumberland Gap National Historical Park in Kentucky are using video surveillance to catch images of people defacing a Civil War cannon.
WYMT-TV (http://bit.ly/RhGdJ8) in Hazard reports that park officials say some of the vandals have inadvertently identified themselves, posting photos of them and the cannon on the Internet.
Chief Ranger Dirk Wiley says the five people caught so far face federal charges and the government will seek restitution to pay for damage. Wiley says vandals have carved their names, initials and even profanity into the cannon. He says the gun tube was used in the Civil War and the cannon is a relic, not a decoration.
The park lies at the point where Kentucky, Tennessee and Virginia meet, just south of Middlesboro, Ky.

Regardless of your age, if you're a hockey fan then the Florida Panthers haven't mattered a whole lot in your life. Save for a Cinderella Stanley Cup Final run, only to be cut down by the Colorado Avalanche, and 223 games with Pavel Bure in tow – the Panthers have been one of the NHL's most consistent punch lines. Could the dark days of the Panthers be coming to an end? ESPN released their organizational rankings on Thursday (subscription required), and it's none other than the Panthers that top the list at No. 1:
The Panthers have the most blue-chippers coming down the pipeline, and Jonathan Huberdeau (third overall, 2011) leads a long list of players who will play, and well, at the NHL level. He is a leader, loaded with desire and talent, and has a knack for making big plays. Eric Gudbranson (third overall, 2010) is ready to make the jump from juniors to the NHL, and there's also Quinton Howden (25th overall, 2010), and Nick Bjugstad (19th overall, 2010). All the Panthers need now is time to let their top prospects develop.
We can't really act all that surprised as the Panthers had their fingerprints all over last January's World Junior Championship. A completely retooled roster courtesy of Dale Tallon combined with a rich system should give the Panthers a realistic chance of taking a step forward in the next couple of years. Hell, maybe they'll even make the playoffs one of these seasons.

Fee fury: Bank of America touches a nerve
October 05, 2011
Bank of America earned itself a barrage of customer complaints and negative publicity by announcing a $5-a-month fee on debit cards last week. Banks raise fees all the time, so why has Bank of America's decision touched such a nerve?
Here are four thoughts to help put this in perspective:
- Bank of America is ignoring the Netflix example. Customers will get on board with new fees if the change seems incremental; when the change seems too radical, there can be a backlash. Netflix recently alienated a sizable portion of its customer base with an overly aggressive fee increase. That gaffe was well-publicized, but apparently Bank of America did not take notes.
- There is a political element to Bank of America's actions. Bank of America is under a variety of financial pressures, but the proximate cause of the debit card fee is the Durbin Amendment to the Dodd-Frank Act, which limits the amount that large banks can charge retailers for processing debit card transactions. The high-profile way in which Bank of America (and some other banks) announced the new fee seems at least partially motivated by a desire to make a political statement about the cost of regulation.
- A political statement can spark a political backlash. Of course, by making such a high-profile statement, Bank of America opened itself up to public reaction, and the resulting negative publicity has almost certainly been more than Bank of America anticipated.
- The marketplace will ultimately decide who is right. New fees can spark a sense of moral outrage, but in the end it's a financial decision. Is having a debit card worth paying $5 a month? Possibly--but probably not as long as you can get the same thing for free somewhere else.
For now, Bank of America is in the minority in charging a monthly debit card fee, and that's a disadvantage because customers have plenty of alternatives offering free checking accounts and debit cards. As much as Bank of America will miss the revenue they used to get from higher transactions charges to retailers, they may find themselves missing even more the customers who now walk away.

Everyone should simply pull their money out of Bank of America and shut the damn thing down.

Reportage Wedding Photographer – Bob Owen
Telling your story
Like all the best stories, life is a mix of big milestones and the small, fleeting moments that tie them together. Your love story is more than a tale of your first date, your first kiss or getting engaged. It's about the everyday moments too – holding hands, cuddles on the sofa, making dinner, lazy Sunday mornings and conversations.
Your wedding is the same.
In between the big, iconic moments, there are the small and unexpected surprises that are just as precious and just as essential to the story of your wedding day.
You cannot leave your wedding photography to chance (or keen amateurs) if you want to capture these moments. They're just too important.
Your reportage wedding photographer
Choosing the right wedding photographer for your special day is a huge milestone in realising your wedding plans. You want to be confident in your choice, to know that you can let the day unfold naturally without spending lots of time posing for pictures. After all, your wedding day is about going back to what's important and celebrating your love story with your friends and family.
About me
My name is Bob Owen and I have been a photographer for more than 25 years. Over time, my photography has evolved and developed into a need to tell stories that move and uplift. Looking back, it was perhaps inevitable that I would fulfil this need and find my niche as a reportage wedding photographer.
Every love story is unique; every wedding – with its central and supporting cast – an unforgettable tale of hope, emotion and joy. It's a privilege to be the person who gets to tell that story.
Working with me
I use natural, reportage-style photography to capture real moments and emotions throughout your wedding day. I've mastered the art of blending in, even when I'm at the heart of the action. I'm wholly professional and easy to work with.
During our initial consultation, which can happen via phone, Skype or face-to-face, I'll ask you lots about your plans for your wedding day, what's happening where and when, and who's who in your wedding party.
The next time you'll need to think about your wedding photography is when you're choosing the pictures for your album from your collection.
What happens next?
Call me on 07515 896 712, or e-mail me and tell me about your plans. I'd love to hear from you.
"Just a quick note to give our thanks to you for doing such a fabulous job with our photographs. We have loved them. We've been to several weddings since our own. We already knew what an incredible high-quality job you did, but seeing other people's wedding photos has only reinforced this fact further. Thanks so much for managing to capture the narrative of the day as it unfolded with such style." Mark & Sarah
"We engaged Bob because I liked the fact his style was more documentary, which was something I was looking for. I had reached out to several photographers but out of all of them, he was the most responsive and proactive from the first point of contact. From time of engagement, he went above and beyond what I expected in terms of working with our changing time schedules and demands. He told us that we wouldn't notice him on the day, we didn't believe him but at one point, I had to ask my husband whether he was there because I just never saw him. It was incredible, he was so non-intrusive and none of our guests even noticed him either. Then the results spoke for themselves, such fantastic shots that caught the romance and the party all in one. Very impressed all in all. Thanks again Bob!" Caroline & Scott
" In short Bob was efficient, unseen yet personable. Throughout the planning process Bob was careful to anticipate every eventuality without causing any undue stress or additional work. On the day I couldn't believe he had managed to position himself so well as to produce such a magnificent end result. Bob was adaptable and thorough, ever mindful of the end result without pressuring us whatsoever. When the day came to choose our top shots we were in Tuscany, but with an excellent system, we were able to select the shots easily, with a welcome slideshow surprise. Bob Owen completed his task with magnificence." Jonny & Claire

I love this to mascara! I use it alone or on top my usual mascara (the Ultra Tech - by KIKO as well..:)). This really doesn't clump! I bought this on vacation in Italy and since I don't have it in my country, bought it on ebay for a reasonable price..will def buy again!!
I really love this mascara, it separates the lashes so well and the length it gives you is pretty incredible. I use it on its own, not as a top coat, because I feel a combination of two mascaras might give me clumpy lashes. I first bought the ''volumizing top coat mascara'' and like it a lot as well but this one is better. The brush is very unusual shape but it makes it easier to reach every lash. I love the shiny green packaging as well, would definitely buy again. I got this on sale for 5, its usual price is 7.20.
More reviews by incrediblehayat
Incredible. Seriously unbelievable, it works!!! I have very fair and short lashes. and I am obsessed with lashes, I have nearly 20 mascaras :D I didn't know that there was a Kiko shop in Munich , I thought Kiko was just in Italy. And then a friend of mine (who loves to play with my makeup products and heard Kiko from me) discored a Kiko store in munich and bought this product and she insisted that I try it, so I did :D It's a top coat mascara which you apply on top of your regular volume mascara. There are tiny little fals lashes in it. you can see them on your wand. It's like you put those little lashes on your own lashes. So It's like you put on false lashes, but you don't look like a dragqueen :D Only contra would be that it's hard to apply it. the wand is like a little wand (like Givenchy's Phenomenon Eyes but not rubber)
I will deffinately repurchase this product. The price was around 7 , totally worths every penny !!!!

Why Do Crabs Walk Sideways?
Why Do Crabs Walk Sideways?
Crabs are crustaceans that can either live in water or in land. They are often seen in seashores looking for their food. Crabs tend to walk sideways and there are some myths about it. The truth behind this is a proven fact that a crab's leg doesn't bend forward just like a person's leg is. Walking sideways also give them the opportunity to fit in crevices and small holes. With their body's diameter if measured horizontally, definitely, they will have a hard time in fitting in holes that tend to be their homes. If they won't be able to hide, pretty much they will be eaten by other species larger than themselves. Crabs can see in 360 degrees angle making it easy for them to see where they are going. Their vision is considered as reverse tunnel vision since the focus of their view is sharp on the edges and blurred on the center. Crabs don't have what they call the socket and ball joints. They have certain joints but its movements are very limited. Particular crabs are scampering sideways to avoid the tangling of their legs.
Muscles always work in pairs. They can only pull or retract. Muscle blocks of crabs are attached in their exoskeleton with their tubular legs. Walking sideways let the crabs to move along with the axis of their bodies. This is also an edge for them to walk faster in chasing their prey or in avoiding their predator. This is absolutely their advantage compared with other animals of the same species. Lobster on the other hand, walks forward. They always have a hard time in looking for a place to hide. Crabs are pretty much aggressive in terms of finding food. Walking sideways has also made it easier for them to trap their prey. They have particular strategies in searching for food.

Ever thought of making kadhi with an infusion of palak? Sounds strange, but tastes and looks very interesting. Palak purée and green paste imparts a bright green colour and vitamin A to the dish.

Rain- Damaged Hay This may be the start of Global Raining instead of the Global Warming that Al "the Prophet" Gore has predicted. If you live in the Northwest you'll have to deal with rain- damaged hay in one way or the other. Rain can damage
hay in many ways. Below is a list of several problems it causes. The amount of damage is related to how soon after windrowing the rain hits. Rain that soaks hay after it is nearly dry causes much more damage than a rain that hits immediately after the hay is cut. A light rain soon after windrowing may only cause a delay in baling, with little nutrient loss. However, a rain on hay that is nearly dry causes leaf shatter and leaching of nutrients out of the hay. The amount of rain that falls on the windrow also is a factor in damage. The heavier the rain is the more nutrients are lost. One interesting point to note is that a short-violent storm that dumps a lot of rain has much less impact than a steady light rain that lasts for a day or more. A report from the North Dakota Extension Service on dry matter losses from field to feeding shows why having to rake hay several times causes such a huge loss.
This table also
points out how important inside storage is. Outside storage can lead
of a loss of 30% of the hay that was purchased or put into a stack.
How it is fed also is another potential for savings or loss. Feeding
on the ground caused Occasionally a hay grower may spray preservative on hay so that it can be baled at a considerably higher moisture than normal. This treatment allows the capture of nutrients that would have been lost. However, if you buy it you need to know the moisture level as well as protein, fibers, TDN, and minerals. (Notice how I slipped in that sly reference to a forage test!)
Pounds needed to feed 2 lb Protein and 5 lb TDN Low moisture hay has 12% moisture and 88% dry matter. 10.8 lbs of this hay will provide those amounts of Protein and TDN. High moisture hay has 25% moisture and 75% dry matter. 12.7 lbs of this hay provides the same amount of nutrients. If the low moisture hay could be purchased for $100, then the high moisture hay would be worth $85.00 because it would take 15% more of the high moisture hay to feed the same pounds of protein and TDN. This is also true for any forages of similar type or nutrient content that have different levels of moisture. Rain- damaged hay has a higher probability of catching fire, since it may have been baled at the upper end of a 'safe' moisture level in an attempt to get it up and off the field so that there is a chance for a future cutting. There doesn't appear to be any published information regarding the differences between large bales, small bales, and round bales when compared for susceptibility to rain damage. Small bales can be put up safely with more moisture than large bales. Small bales seem to accumulate mold when large bales won't, given the same circumstances. It is important to recognize that almost 50% of the weight of a round bale is in the outer layers which certainly makes them more susceptible to a high percentage of loss. Rain damage can lead to higher than normal bale moisture. It might be wise to keep watch of those stacks during the first two weeks to a month after baling. Bale temperature is the key to danger. This table serves as a good guideline:
Some rain-damaged
hay can be quite palatable and a good buy for feeding cows and calves.
However, if there ever were a situation where a feed test is warranted,
this would be it. When feeding the hay, you don't need to know
what it was before it was damaged, but you certainly need to know what
it is when you go to feed it. A simple test for protein may not be enough,
if heating occurred and the protein has become unavailable. Thanks to Randy Mills, OSU Extension, Pendleton for his suggestions regarding this article. Michael J. Mehren, Ph.D. is a livestock nutritionist who lives in Hermiston, Oregon and has been (b)rain damaged through the years. He may be contacted by Email @ email@example.com. |

Why you should take so-called "leaks" with a grain of salt
Rumors and fake leaks seem to pop up on a weekly basis. The latest trend among the rumormongers is to take pictures of their so-called leaks with a cellphone and run it through Instagram to give it more credibility. It sure looks a lot more real when you can't pore over the pixels to see just how good or bad their photoshop skills are.
Reddit user rpdj made an interesting post on /r/wow demonstrating how in a few simple steps he created the above image of a new playable race, the Terrorguard. Looks pretty convincing, doesn't it?

The teaser for the Miss Dior Autumn/Winter 2012 campaign presents retro glamor.
The elegance that is embodied by Kunis in the campaign is partly based on the sheer genius of Mario Sorrenti who lensed the teaser video. The story line involves the Dior-clad celebrity being perused by photographers. Also captured with a monochromatic palette, the accessories are given an air of retro exuberance. This campaign is unlike other couture collaborations, as Mila Kunis truly embodies the house Dior ideals: elegance, beauty and classic femininity. The latest campaign from the fashion giant does a great job of incorporating retro ideals, as this aesthetic is very popular as of late. For example, celebrities such as Lana del Rey embrace this classic aesthetic, and Kunis is also demonstrating this timeless look.

The WoW and ToI games were supposed to be done by www.big-rooster.com.
They were also supposed to make the Zombies!! game but had that taken away from them due to a "development misfire".
Sadly Big-Rooster now seems defunct. The last update on their webpage is from august last year and they are not responding to mail.

The Jaguars will have to practice without their playmaking wideout Cecil Shorts III for at least a couple of weeks.
The Jaguars revealed that Shorts has a hamstring injury that will require some time off. While this situation is not ideal for Jacksonville, it could certainly be worse. Speaking to reporters, via the team's official website, Shorts said he'll remain optimistic about the injury.
"Hopefully I can come back as soon as I can," he said. "We're not going to rush it but it's going to take a little time to heal."
Shorts said the injury occurred while working with the quarterbacks in group drills. He ran a 12-yard route, jumped to grab the ball and came down and felt the tweak in his leg. By the time he got to seven-on-seven drills, he was unable to "explode" during drills.
This setback comes after Shorts dealt with a calf injury during OTAs.
"Can't catch a break, but hey, everything happens for a reason," Shorts said. "My plan is to come back stronger than ever."
Hamstring injuries do have a tendency to linger so taking it slow and cautious is probably in Shorts' best interest. Sometimes an athlete can feel fine, only to reinjure the hamstring shortly after returning. The Jaguars will need Shorts for the team to be successful, and to help rookie Marqise Lee along within the offense.
In 2013, Shorts played in 13 games and finished the season with 777 yards and three touchdowns.

I live in Northwest Washington. I am a mom of 2 boys, ages 15 and 17. I am 30 something, and my Hubby and I have been married over 18 years. All through high school I worked in a gourmet restaurant. In 4 years I worked my way up from dishy/prep cook to line cook, and even head baker and dessert cook while I was there. I learned many wonderful and useful skills while at that job. I have always enjoyed cooking and baking, but my love for cooking and baking really took off from there. I spent 3 years as a Pampered Chef Consultant to learn great recipes and stock my kitchen.
Anything Italian or chocolate related. I make an awesome chocolate decadent cake that won my hubby and I a $60 dinner certificate for a dessert competition they had @ his work. It is a work of art that I only make now for special dinners with friends or family. I do not dare make it to have around here. For some reason chocolate tends to disapear all to fast at our house...Hmmm...
I am the one that when we visit friends for dinner, I am always asked to bring the desserts!!

Welcome to Kandie's Kidz
This is one of Kandie's Kidz, my Stepson SPC Travis R Vaughn. Travis was a Night Stalker 160th SOAR. His Chinook crashed in Afghanistan Feb. 17, 2007, after his mission was cancelled. There were 22 aboard, 14 survived and 8 were killed.
Since Travis death we have gotten busy healing by helping other Military Families, Wounded Soldiers and Veterans. Since 2007 we have helped in many different ways, During one of Iowa's biggest deployments we helped with things such as snow removal, clogged drains, paying carnotes and replacing furnaces. Webcams have been bought and sent to Afghanistan so Our Soldiers can visit with their families face to face.
When you have a Wounded Soldier the needs for the family to be with their Soldier can range from kenneling their dogs so they can go be with their Wounded, to helping with gas money, food and lodging.
I will continue to help meet the needs of Our Military Family. When we arrived in Nashville, Tn. for Travis and the others Military Funeral the Soldier waiting for us at the airport said, "Welcome to the Gold Star Family" it's one you don't want to be a part of but once you are we will always be here for you! I want to "be there" for Our Soldiers and their Families!! In a way I have adopted them all as Kandie's Kidz.
Retrieving Freedom
Retrieving Freedom, Inc. (RFI) is a 501(c)3 non-profit corporation that trains service dogs for placement into three main markets, Veterans, children with autism and adults and children with Diabetes.
Kandie and Lukas both support and work with this fine organization.

A Free Woman
The Pope clears my mom of all charges
The early release of excerpts for Pope Benedict XVI's new book reveal he will discuss the lack of theological basis for the idea that my mother is culpable in the death of Jesus of Nazareth. This came as a huge relief and I wanted to share the news with her immediately. Here is how the conversation went:
"Hey Mom"
"Hey sweetie, I was just reading your article." [ed. note: No, she wasn't.]
"Did you hear that the Pope's new book clears the Jews of guilt in Jesus' death?"
"The who?"
"The Pope."
"What? I don't know, did we kill Jesus?"
The heartwarming words of a woman, finally set free.

Ahead of the expected unveiling at the IFA technology convention in Germany this week, VentureBeat writer Christina Farr got a peak at a prototype of the device.
In her report, Farr details that the watch is about 3-inches diagonally and with dark black and grey coloring, although this may change in the final version of the product.
Farr notes that the Galaxy Gear smartwatch looks "clunky and masculine" but says that Bluetooth can be used to connect with Galaxy S smartphones, tablets and potentially other Android devices too.
Wi-Fi is supported for light Internet browsing and email and there are Android apps pre-loaded for social media, health tracking and other things.
In addition, the smartwatch apparently has a 4MP camera built into a strap and small speakers integrated in the clasp. Samsung's S Voice is reportedly included for voice commands while the Galaxy Gear has a widely-publicized 10 hour battery life.

Right now I have Cherry Tart, Lime Zinger, Dazzleberry and Vera Jameson. I'm pretty happy with all of them over the last couple years. Curious what other favorite groundcover sedums are out there, specially to mix up the colors. They seem like the most well behaved perennials that don't need dividing but yet divides easily and needs no care. A bonus for my sunny sandy slopes...did I get that right? |
Follow-Up Postings:
Angelina is a excellent bright yellow ground cover. |
Thats a new improved cultivar correct? Does it get 18" wide or is it really smaller than that? |
- Posted by ken_adrian MI z5 (My Page) on Fri, Jul 25, 14 at 9:35
great minds think alike ... just suggested such in your tree ring post ... i didnt know.. given decades... that sedum had size limitations... most of them ... you could cut the root mass in a million pieces.. and lay them across some media in a tray ... and have hundreds of plants in a few months ... well .... at least i know.. every piece i ever dropped on soil... rooted where i didnt want it.. lol ... ken |
- Posted by aftermidnight Z7b V. Island B.C. (My Page) on Fri, Jul 25, 14 at 9:40
Cape Blanco is nice for contrast. Annette |
I enjoy my dragon's blood, personally! Can pretty much pick it up and put it anywhere and it will grow. I also have two tall sedums; autumn fire and autumn delight (really nice bright green variegated leaves). |
I have found that Angelina also will grow in dry shade. I have a big patch growiing under a river birch whose dense, shallow root system sucks all the moisture out of the soil. Don't know how it got there since I didn't plant it. Color is more subdued since it is in shade but at least it grows. |
Thanks for the suggestions! I was really hoping to track down at least one yellow one so Angelina looks like a good one. The others looks nice too for additional colors. Keep em coming! I have lots of spots to fill! I think I'm going to use the sedums as my repeating plant throughout to gain some repetition among the "collected" plants.. |
I'm not familiar with too many different varieties, although I love the groundcover sedums. I guess I just fell in love with the first one I saw and never looked into them too much further. You seem to know more about them than I do, so I hesitate to make a recommendation, but I guess I will add my two cents! That first one I saw and loved was kamtschaticum Weihenstephaner Gold. I started covering a hot, dry, sunny, poorly-soiled slope with that, little by little. Then, by mistake, I bought a dozen straight-up kamtshaticums, which I actually like better and have decided to use to finish the slope. On the slope on the other side of the driveway (this slope fronts my entire road frontage, cut in half by my driveway), I thought I would switch things up a bit and tried planting John Creech, which I really, really love. Love the tight little swirls of foliage and I like the pink blooms better than the yellow of the kamschaticum. But John doesn't seem to like me, lol. Or at least, he doesn't like my slope. I can't seem to get him established strongly there. So I am going to probably use kamtschaticum there as well. By the way, I'm still looking for a source for bulk orders, if anyone knows of a reputable place. I will say that both kamtshaticums seem to spread fairly slowly - seem to be clumpers rather than spreaders, so if that is what youmean by well-behaved, these will fit the bill - I personally wish they would spread more quickly! The angelina, while quite beautiful, l've heard to be very vigorous. Not sure if anyone can confirm/deny that report. Dee |
Angelina is definitely vigorous! But so easy to pull so not a big deal imo. |
Sedum cauticola 'Lidakense' (nice foliage and flower colour) Sedum sieboldii 'Mediovariegatum' (nice bright red fall foliage colour in addition to the pink flower.) Sedum spurium 'Tricolor' I also use 'Angelina' under some conifers. If they get enough light, they can look almost 'orange yellow' in late spring. |

2011-12: Biggs skated in 37 of 40 games for Miami University as a freshman. He scored 9 goals with 8 assists and was plus-four with 63 penalty minutes (most amongst Redhawks forwards and second only to defenseman Will Weber (CBJ)). Miami finished fourth in the CCHA and received an at-large bid to the NCAA tournament after defeating Bowling Green in the CCHA third place game. Biggs announced in May that he would not be returning for his sophomore year. He attended USA Hockey's U20 Evaluation Camp and signed a three-year, entry-level contract with the Maple Leafs in August of 2012.

Talent Analysis
At 6'3 and over 220lbs, Biggs is a monster on skates and moves well for a player of his size. He can dominate down low in the offensive zone and cycles the puck well. Defensively he's sound and can be used as a penalty killing forward. He can be an intimidating figure when he wants to, but questions have surrounded his consistency.
Biggs will be joining the Toronto Marlies for his rookie season in 2013-14.

Dr. Jack Rowe has had many titles: professor at Harvard and Columbia, CEO and chairman of Aetna, CEO of Mount Sinai Medical Center, chair of the UConn board, and one that actually came first: scholarship student.
In WWII, an MIT computer was used to calculate trajectories for naval cannons. John Lof was one of the graduate students who worked on it, and when he followed a colleague to UConn, he brought newfound expertise with him.
A $140,000 corporate gift from SimplexGrinnell will provide scholarships to engineering and business students. The gift also will support the senior design project program at the School of Engineering.
Over the years, frequent donor Dominick Pagano has hired many UConn graduates who became skilled in handling high-speed computers by working on his sponsored research grants.
With financial support from the NFL and Gatorade, the new Korey Stringer Institute for heat illness prevention at the Neag School of Education will provide Stringer with a new legacy.
The inaugural White Coat Gala was held on April 10. The event was attended by nearly 500 people and grossed more than $450,000 for the Health Center.
For nursing alumna Lindsay Bolt '04, the decision to give back to UConn was personal, based on a long-running friendly relationship with the donor who helped fund her own education. Over several years, Bolt managed to repay the scholarship in full.
By nearly any measure, the Winingers are a UConn family. Twins William and Michael graduated in 2004. Their older brother, Matthew Wininger '00, has become an active young alumni donor and advocate for the actuarial science program.
Scott Harrison '99 was never the typical engineering student at UConn, he says, but credits the education he received with his later success in sales and marketing in the business world. Today, he's giving back so others have the same opportunities.
UConn connections run deep for the Hughes family, something that has carried through to their growing family business, TopCoder, and now also in their philanthropic support for the UConn School of Business and programs for disabled veterans.
Patrick Campion '83 worked his way through UConn, flipping hamburgers in the Student Union, as an RA and as an assistant in the CLAS dean's office. Now CEO of the US Private Bank at HSBC in Manhattan, Campion knows the importance of giving back.
Michael Cantor '80 '83 is a booster for economic development. He serves on state and University boards promoting it. He has expanded his own law firm. And he is committed to the education of innovative UConn students.
Justin Murphy '89 was good at blocking defenders when he played UConn football in the 1980s. He has found those same skills useful surviving hard hits to the financial markets.
As a professor of art and the past director of the Benton Museum, Salvatore Scalora '71 has seen the power of philanthropy. Today, he and his family personify it in their tribute to his late wife, Mary Scalora '80 '92.
Wendy Reeves Watkins '74 joined the Foundation's Board of Directors in October 2009. However, she's been supporting UConn since she graduated, as a way of saying thanks for a career that brought her to the top of accounting and banking.
Tom Juros wanted to memorialize his beloved wife in the most compelling way possible. He pledged a gift to create two scholarships at UConn, in the Neag School of Education and the School of Engineering.
Stan Sussman '61, owner of a 2008 UConn Connecticut Family Business of the Year, has made a $100,000 bequest to create a scholarship fund, with preference given to students qualifying for the international student educational travel program.
