Rules of Engagement
The Tannhäuser Revised Edition Rulebook is now on sale |
Tannhauser | Published 20 May 2010 |
The Tannhäuser Revised Edition Rulebook is now available at your local retailer and on our webstore! Going forward, copies of the Tannhäuser board game will also include a copy of these new rules (with a sticker on the box clearly indicating its inclusion), so prepare to fight the Great War in a whole new way.
The Tannhäuser Revised Edition Rulebook improves upon the innovative mechanics of Tannhäuser. This 88 page perfect-bound book is intended as a comprehensive replacement to the original Tannhäuser rulebook; it includes revisions to the core game rules, as well as those originally found in the Operation: Novgorod expansion, along with the Wolf, Yula, Gorgeï, and Ramirez single figure packs.
In short, it includes all the rules players will need for any Tannhäuser product currently available. What's more, players who already own a copy of Tannhäuser needn't worry about their game becoming obsolete; the Tannhäuser Revised Edition Rulebook utilizes current Tannhäuser components, and requires no additional purchases!
For more details about this exciting setting, head over to our Tannhäuser description page... and for insights into some of the design decisions that went into the Tannhäuser Revised Edition Rulebook, check out "The War Heats Up," a designer diary by Producer J.R. Godwin. We also welcome you to download the 20-page preview of the Tannhäuser Revised Edition Rulebook (pdf, 24.2 MB) on our support page. This sample (consisting of pages 8-27) of the full rulebook will give you a glimpse of some of Tannhäuser's most exciting changes.
So what are you waiting for? The war thus far has been mere preparation for what is to come. Never have the three competing factions had so much to gain, or so much to lose. To which faction will you lend your tactical genius? Will it be the technologically enhanced Union? Will it be the occult-tainted Reich? Will it be the electrical fury of the Matriarchy? Whether you're a Tannhäuser veteran or a newcomer, the Tannhäuser Revised Edition Rulebook will deliver the gameplay you've been looking for. Head to your local retailer and grab your copy today!
Note that the book will be available shortly on www.DrivethruRPG.com as a paid download, but it is currently unavailable due to technical issues on their side.
Tannhäuser is a squad based tactical board game set in an alternate timeline in which WWI has never ended. The forces of the Reich have turned to the occult, while the forces of the Union have delved into alien technology and developed deadly weapons of war. Using the revolutionary Path-Finding System, Tannhäuser is quick and easy to play.
Yea I just bought this today. I wish there was a way that I could send a copy of my receipt in and get a free copy of the rules. Leaving it on the shelf with a dated rulebook is wrong.
Not only that, but I got a character card that was damaged in manufacturing, and hoping that it will be replaced
@ Bash. Why are you posting this here? Tell it to the French company that created the game. FFG just distributed in North America until they bought the property from Take On You.
I can't believe that FF is charging anything for the revised rules for a game that should have never been released with the original rules in the first place. I don't intend to spend any more money on this loser. Do yourself a favor and stay away from this one.
Ok, it´s now available via Drivethru/rpgnow
Yeah, I hope for the pdf. each day, but it´s not available yet :-( I can´t imagine which problem it could be... but we´ll see.
Maybe my FLGS has the book earlier than drivethru ^^
Where it will become available on www.DrivethruRPG.com what is this so called technical problem. I can't buy it on paper in my country ....
Just bought a copy today..........do I need to buy another rule book because this one is out-of-date?
Will it still be available per download (via PDF) for 1/2 the price?
The pdf for the sample rules look fantastic on an iPad pdf reader. With its search capability, I think the iPad will make an excellent device to hold all my game rules (if I can get them in pdf). Even better, a pdf annotation utility would allow one to make notes and highlight particular areas of the text.
"I think what Hedge meant was the actual game itself. How will a person wanting to buy Tannhauser know if the game comes with the old rule or new ones? How soon will new versions of the game come with the new rules as opposed to the old."
Yup! This is precisely what I meant! Sorry for my lack of clarity, and glad to see FFG has updated the notice to clarify their rollout plan. I had been waiting to pick it up since the rumblings of FFG taking over the development and redesign many moons ago.
paradiddlebob, they are definitely a lot better than the originals. Makes more sense. I've already played a few games with the new rules preview and it was smooth as could be. I highly recommend.
I think what Hedge meant was the actual game itself. How will a person wanting to buy Tannhauser know if the game comes with the old rule or new ones? How soon will new versions of the game come with the new rules as opposed to the old.
AFAIK the boxed games always comes with the olde rules - these new rules you'd haveta buy separately.
[ADMIN: As stated in the above article, moving forward all copies of Tannhäuser will include the new rules in the box. The boxes that include the new rulebook will be clearly marked by a sticker on the cover.]

Report from OSCON 2010 – Sessions Day 3
11:52am: Perrin Harkins is going to build on Tim Bunce's Devel::NYTProf talk by addressing how to actually speed up Perl bottlenecks after you identify them. Wait, no, now he's blaming the database end of things for most performance problems, so that's not strictly a Perl bottleneck at all… but in my experience, he's right… it's usually your SQL, database connection overhead, or something like that in modern apps. It's always in the I/O.
Now he's talking about the overhead incurred by ORMs… object relational mappers, frameworks like Rails or Grails or, in the Perl world, DBIx::Class. This is where I get to grin and feel like I am making a smart choice by writing all my SQL raw (and conveniently ignore any development time efficiency I might gain by switching to an ORM). Since I don't have the luxury of DBAs to tune indexes and whatnot, I'm guessing I'm still better off staying intimate with MySQL.
Ah, some actual Perl optimizations now:
- Slurp files when possible (unless too large), don't read them line by line off the disk.
- Use a 'sliding window' to read large files.
- Text::CSV_XS is wicked fast… don't parse those CSVs by hand. (if performance matters).
- LWP: not so speedy, if it matters. LWP::Curl, much faster. Or if you're hitting a lot of different URLs, HTTP::Async for concurrent connections.
- eliminate startup costs with something like mod_perl or FastCGI. Check.
- compiling Perl without threads can buy you 15%, if you don't need threads… but now you need to maintain your own Perl…
Interestingly, I only seem to take detailed notes during optimization talks… a sign that this topic interests me too much. ;)
Well, time for the closing keynotes and then lunch/evening festivities. Time flies when you're being a geek.
11:14am: Enjoying Patrick Michaud's talk on Rakudo Star… the first 'usable' Perl 6… all of which I've already been privy too in lurking the Perl 6 blogs etc… so I'm spending most of this time trying to figure out how to get 'git' to use a different transport than SSH… so I can keep our local installation of Rakudo up to date in my latest 'protect me from myself' firewalled vantage point on our network. Grrrr.
10:11am: Louis Suarez-Potts, PhD of Oracle is telling the story of Open Office… another slice of open source pie that came to the company as a result of the Sun acquisition. He makes the point that the architecture of your code shapes community participation in its development; basically, it's the argument for plugins/APIs/modularity in software design, which the only way to properly distribute programmer workloads in order to maximize efficiency… you can't have too many cooks with their hands right in the core of your codebase.
After speaking broadly on several aspects of community forming, he concludes with a somewhat rousing critique of 'commodity culture', and encouraged the thirty some-odd attendees not to think of his project, Open Office, as a commodity. I think everybody understands this about all software on some level, but vary as to how we articulate and respond to that.
10:00am: Allison Randall just announced that OSCON would definitely be in Portland again next year, to wild acclaim. It seems that holding the event in San Jose last year was extremely unpopular: everyone loves Portland. Me too.
9:48am: Simon Wardley is taking about management philosophies… a somewhat rare digression from technical topics here at OSCON… but after all, this is one of the keynotes, and you've got to keep it lite. I'm hearing a handful of familiar words: Agile and Six Sigma, for example, and the relative strengths and weaknesses of each. Simon says that Agile excels at innovation, but sucks at managing predictable processes. Six Sigma, he says, excels and sucks inversely. And no I wouldn't put 'sucks' in anyone's mouth; Simon has an informal speaking style.

No plans for ''Good Will Hunting 2: Wicked Smarter,'' but Matt Damon will reprise his ''Bourne Identity'' role. The sequel, titled ''The Bourne Supremacy,'' should begin shooting by the end of the year, according to a Universal Pictures spokesperson. Like last summer's action hit, the new movie will be based on a Robert Ludlum novel of the same name, as adapted by screenwriter Tony Gilroy. In ''Supremacy,'' Jason Bourne's wife is kidnapped, and he's accused of assassinating a Chinese official.
''Bourne Identity'' director Doug Liman -- who clashed with the studio during a trouble-plagued shoot -- won't be returning for the sequel. Instead, British director Paul Greengrass (''Bloody Sunday'') is in talks to take over the franchise, according to the Hollywood Reporter. But fans of the first movie's Franka Potente should take heart -- in the book, it's her character who becomes Bourne's wife.


text: Last week we saw an all-too-brief teaser for Madeon's forthcoming single, "Technicolor." This track has been heavily-anticipated, and Madeon wanted to make sure this track was perfect and different. It's finished, and set to drop on August 3 via madeon.fr/technicolor, with a special Beatport version dropping on the same day. In a short text that went along with this teaser, Madeon says that "Technicolor" is "a new song I've been working on for a while… I wanted to tell a story through dance music, using a longer structure than what i've done before. In certain ways it's almost a spiritual sequel to Icarus." The track is way more fleshed out in this preview, and we're totally amped for its release this weekend.

I recently stopped by a local restaurant for dinner, and they typically have Dead Guy on tap. I ordered one, but when the waitress came back she brought me a 10 oz pour (usually it is a pint). I asked her why she brought me a mini beer and she said that the keg prices on Rogue (and some other beers I understood) had gone up twice recently. Then she basically said that no-one would be willing to pay for what a pint would cost, so they started selling 10oz pours so they could keep selling it. I don't know that I agree with that logic, but that isn't really the point. I mostly drink my own beer, so I may be out of the loop with commercial beers. Is something going on at Rogue or in general to drive beer costs way up? Hop shortage or something?
A couple of places around here do smaller pours on higher priced beers so they keep all of there prices within a buck or two. I think it is becoming more common
I've only seen this for high abv (10%+) and limited releases.
Rogue is way overpriced.

I got a mini Firestone Walker Double Jack last weekend. Doesn't taste any different, so it doesn't bother me at all.

Before you put that tiny, sweet, white cotton newborn onesie on your baby, check the label for pesticides and other toxins. While the label won't be marked with the names or amounts of synthetics, it will tell you if the cotton is organic. If it's not, you might want to think twice before wrapping your little one in potentially harmful chemicals.
According to the Organic Trade Association, cotton crops use 10% of the world's pesticides, 25% of the world's insecticides, and each pound of cotton uses up to one-third pound of synthetic fertilizers. In addition, once the cotton is made into clothing it's often colored with chemical dyes and treated to preserve the fabric. That's a whole lot of toxins in one little t-shirt. Nowadays, organic clothing is not just for hippies and health nuts. Clothing made from chemical-free fabric is easy to find and, like organic food, the more consumers buy, the more affordable it will become. Below are some benefits of choosing organic clothing for your baby. Image
- Help the Environment
The green movement is getting bigger with each passing year, but it wasn't always popular to be a tree-hugger. Luckily your baby will grow up being Eco-conscious, and with your help their love of the earth will grow as they do. They might not remember being green at such a young age, but you can show off photos of them in their earth friendly leggings and sweaters to future dates. They will probably appreciate it more than the naked baby pictures.
- Healthy skin
Baby's skin is notoriously delicate and sensitive, and chemicals and irritants in their clothing can cause redness and rashes. Parents can help keep itchiness away with organic clothes. Allergic reactions can be attributed to toxins, and even though we often think about the creams and salves we put on our body, our clothes touch our skin all day long.
- Clothes last longer
You might think that fabric that has been treated for preservation would be stronger than fabric with no additives, however, the opposite is true. Fibers treated with harsh chemicals and agitated longer break down faster over time. Fibers that are left untreated keep their natural strength and elasticity. In addition to cotton organic clothes can be made from bamboo, hemp, and even silk. Image
- Beautiful clothing
Clothes made of natural cotton are not only durable, but beautiful as well. Natural dyes can be used to color fibers, and styles have been improved from days past when natural clothes just meant a beige t-shirt and hemp drawstring pants. Eco-fashion keeps getting better, and your baby can look modern and stylish, while remaining comfortable and healthy. Green parenting is all about making the best choices for your family, that also benefit the environment. As parents we feed our baby homemade pureed organic foods, use natural shampoos and lotions, and keep them happy with chemical-free toys. The clothes they wear day in and day out are just as important, and now it's easy to dress them up green and natural.

Get Your Espresso Fix on the Go with the Handpresso Auto Machine
If you can't make it through a single day without downing several cups of coffee, then you probably have ten bucks set aside for your coffee allowance every day. That adds up to a lot over time, so you'd probably better off making a one-time investment in something like the Handpresso Auto machine.
The Handpresso Auto is a neat, single-serve portable espresso machine that will give you a perfect, steaming cup of espresso, anytime and anywhere you want one. It's shaped like a tumbler so it can fit into your car's cup holder and plugs into the car lighter socket for power.
All you need to get your coffee fix is water, an ESE espresso pod of your choice, and a few seconds of waiting before your cup of coffee is ready.
The Handpresso Auto Machine is available online for €149.00 (~$197.)

You may also get a discount if you take a defensive driving course. If there is a young driver on the policy who is a good student, has taken a drivers education course or is at a college out of the area without a car, you may also qualify for a lower rate. search online for "Clearance Auto" they are the best for student drivers
pod coffe… meh. Not really an espresso but a portable pod machine. not suiteble……
"espresso pod"
Invalidity confirmed.
Thanks for the copy-paste of my own product… thanks guys…
Looks like a good way to get your espresso on the go!


text: you asked... Q&A: What should I keep in my diaper bag? What should I keep in my diaper bag? Want to participate? Log in to share your thoughts Re: What should I keep in my diaper bag? How much you carry depends on whether you like to be ultra-prepared or to travel light. If you're bottle-feeding, you're going to want to keep extra bottles, nipples and formula in the bag. Are you a nursing mom? Throw in your nursing cover. Be sure to have important numbers (in case of an emergency), extra money (you'll be prepared for an unexpected snack time), a hat, zip-top bags (for dirty diapers or clothes), an extra blanket and a change of clothes, since you never know when there will be a diaper blowout! Another smart idea: Keep a copy of baby's updated immunization card in a safe spot (like a plastic baggie, so it won't get spilled on!) so you're prepared at each doctor's visit. Of course, don't forget wipes and extra diapers (one for every two hours, plus a few extra)! Deborah Davis, MD, pediatrician Q&A: What should I keep in my diaper bag? I always have: diapers (usually 3-4, more depending on length of outting), wipes, 2 pacifiers and paci wipes, bottles/food (amounts depending on length and times of outting), bibs (2-3), and usually a spare outfit (don't forget socks and a warmer top/jacket), and definitely toys! Just try to imagine a typical day at home around the same time frame, and bring along what you would usually use at home in the same time frame. laustin35 | Q&A: What should I keep in my diaper bag? I use a re-purposed Crumpler Yee-Ross daypack that has two zippered pockets in front, and on the inside, a zippered pocket and a compartment for storing a laptop computer. The "laptop" space is where I keep medical records for baby (business card of pediatrician, immunization records, etc.). The bigger compartment inside the backpack is for my pocketed Patemm pad filled with diaper stuff, plus nursing cover and burpcloth. Outside pockets are for "emergency entertainment" and snacks/water bottle adapter. For diaper-changing-related stuff, I kept 2-3 diapers in a ziplock bag, a travel-sized hardcase for wipes, an assortment of used ziplock bags for sealing up poopy diapers and soiled clothing, a coverall/easy-to-put-on shirt & pants, a tube of diaper cream, some hand sanitizer and a cheap 99-cent Ikea over-the-door hook for bathroom stalls that don't have hooks. All this stuff fits into my Patemm pad that has pockets built into it. Sometimes for quick trips to the neighborhood library, playground, post office or supermarket, I just toss this Patemm into the stroller basket and leave the rest of the daypack at home. For feeding, I keep a rolled-up flannel burp cloth (very absorbent) and nursing cover. I also have a GreenSprouts water bottle adapter, a rolled up Platypus water bottle and a tiny glasslock container filled with Annie's cheddar bunnies, Trader Joe's freeze-dried banana chunks or HappyBaby yogurt melts. For emergency entertainment, I keep an extra Raspberry teether with a velcro attachment that snaps onto clothing, a rattle and a tiny book. These easily fit into the outside pockets of the daypack, where they're accessible for those feeding/boredom emergencies. eggsnotyetexpired | Q&A: What should I keep in my diaper bag? You'll soon find a formula that works for you, but until then, here's a guide for packing the diaper bag. Adjust according to season, the length of your trip (around the block or around the world?), and baby's age and special needs. [ ] Diapers (one for every two hours and a few extra) [ ] Diaper wipes in a zipper bag (these also work as hand wipes for mommy) [ ] Changing pad [ ] Diaper cream [ ] Plastic bags for dirty clothes and diapers [ ] 1-2 changes of clothes [ ] Shirt or jacket for baby and mommy [ ] Blanket [ ] Hat for sun or cold [ ] Bottles and formula (for a lighter load, measure powdered formula into clean bottles and mix with tap water at the destination, or pack bottled water) [ ] Baby food and spoons [ ] Burp cloths and bibs [ ] Teething gel or rings [ ] Pacifiers (pack with nipples in a clean bag) [ ] Toys for comfort and distraction [ ] Hand sanitizer [ ] Sunblock (if baby is over six months) [ ] Antibiotic cream, fever and pain reducer, antihistamine [ ] Emergency phone numbers and information -- Paula Kashtan Jun 03, 2009 kdc83 | Q&A: What should I keep in my diaper bag? I always keep in my diaper bag a bottle of milk in case the baby is hungry and a lot of other stuffs. ioana06 | Q&A: What should I keep in my diaper bag? I nursed my first daughter, but I leaked so I always kept an extra top for myself, as well as extra breast pads. I also cloth diapered, so I had 2-3 diaper changes (amount depending on the length of he outing), plus ziplock bags to put dirties in. I always had a paci or two, and one or two toys. My daughter was very particular about toys so whatever she was holding pretty much was the only thing she would play with. We also had one of those receiving blankets at all times. She didn't care which one, but she wanted those "snugglies" everywhere. TamaraR4 | Q&A: What should I keep in my diaper bag? Here's a great buying advice guide from BabyGearLab that helps in choosing a diaper bag including which items it should be able to hold. http://www.babygearlab.com/Diaper-Bag-Reviews/Buying-Advice nikkibs | Q&A: What should I keep in my diaper bag? Always have the basics depending on what stage of infancy your baby is in. Infants and toddlers require different essential items. Babies require diapers, wipes, bibs, dirty diaper bags, change of clothes, pacifiers, breastfeeding items, etc. Toddlers require snacks, change of clothes, pullups/cloth diapers, toys, wipes, etc. It really all depends on your child's developmental stage. Hope this helps. LuvBags10 | what-should-i-keep-in-my-diaper-bag I learned to bring along the nasal aspirator for long outings, especially during allergy season! sventura | Q&A: What should I keep in my diaper bag? You'll figure out pretty quickly what you need and don't need regularly when you go out - and all this changes as your baby develops. But my one piece of advice is about the diaper bag, itself. After registering for one adorable (magnetized, but zipper free), popular diaper bag and receiving it, PLUS a second one of the same brand as gifts, I gave up quickly and bought a $5 backpack from Target. In my experience, especially as a single mom, I need a zipper and something I can throw on my back in order to be hands free. But the zipper, I found, is essential. When trying to balance everything along with a new baby, that bag is destined to spill. It's not nearly as cute, but I will swear by it from now on and to every new mom I come across. ChoiceMama12 | Q&A: What should I keep in my diaper bag? This is a question that is simply answered by your own needs. From diapers and wipes to a spare outfit, the diaper bag is an important accesory. And if you want to be one of the cool moms, you can even go for a personalized western belt that works with everything you choose to wear. Nevertheless, your diaper bag should keep all the 'mommy equipment' and respond to your baby's needs. KatePolish | Want to participate? Log in to share your thoughts

Lessons from "Loopy Land"
7. Ask God for genuine empathy.
I am not sure why the Lord allowed me to go through this ordeal. However, the one thing that I do know is that I did not have deep empathy for those who were suffering with illness. My wife was right. I was very shallow in that category. I got to see it, and feel it, as I experience the actions of others in my illness. Before, I had never been ill other than the usual cold or flu. I never knew what it was like to be in a situation where I was totally dependent upon others for my well-being. Now I know, and there's no replacement for that knowing.
I'm not saying that you have to get sick to minister well to the sick, though. Begin by asking God to help you empathize with those under your spiritual care.
I am still convinced that every church member should reach out and demonstrate compassion to the sick. However, each should do what God puts on their heart to do. Some should visit, some should call, some should send cards, etc. But all should act with empathy. As far as I am concerned, I will respond as the Lord leads. I am not the "hired gun." I am a man given a wonderful gift of empathizing with those in need.
And maybe that gift made my trip through Loopy Land worth it.

Document Type Master's Dissertation Author Muchawaya, Davidzo email@example.com URN etd-09252008-151526 Document Title Energy consumption patterns in rural Zimbabwe with special reference to the role of electricity as a development incentive Degree MSocSci : Community Development Department Anthropology and Archaeology Supervisor

Date 2008-04-17 Availability restricted Abstract This dissertation presents an analysis of electrification and energy consumption patterns in rural areas arguing that the socio-economic aspects of electrification and energy consumption in rural areas have not received adequate attention. Against this background, the study investigates the energy consumption patterns of rural households in Zimbabwe with special reference to the role of electricity as a development incentive. The qualitative design was used in this research because the relevant phenomena had to be studied in the natural and context-specific settings. Field research methods that were utilised include interviews, participant observation, life histories, case studies as well as focus group discussions. The main energy consumption theories are elucidated and the current energy consumption patterns are discussed in detail. It was found that very little has been done to encourage rural electrification beneficiaries to use electricity for more than lighting purposes. Much is still to be done to educate the rural populace on the importance of energy and the detrimental effects of indoor air pollution. The issue of gender inequalities is also addressed. Women still remain under-represented and marginalised despite the fact that they have to bear the brunt of indoor air pollution and are sexually harassed when they gather firewood in areas far away from their homes. The study concludes that energy is an important aspect of development and recommends that rural electrification be viewed as an effective incentive for development.© University of Pretoria 2007

More than 130 students from across southern Minnesota and Northern Iowa came to the campus of Minnesota State Mankato Friday. Their goal? Taking the simple and making it complicated.
"The Rube Goldberg machine is the idea that they receive a challenge," Judi Evans said. "This year's was to water a plant, and in at least 22 original steps, they have to get that job done."
The high school competition is the only one of its kind in the region. It's been going on for 20 years.
The winning team hailed from Southland High School.
Their device included mallets and mousetraps, and even included an "easy button" to finish off the many twists and turns.
"Our teacher told us to get a bunch of stuff together, we threw a bunch of stuff together," Southland competitor Steven Sathre said. "Took a lot of time. Everyone had an idea. It was part of everyone's thoughts and ideas, so it's a win for all of us."
The Southland High School team will next go on to the national competition at Ferris State University in Michigan.

While I know these can be ordered online I try to buy locally first. I am looking for someplace in the greater Mpls area which sells heirloom and unusual tomato seeds. These are some of the varieties I would like: Early Wonder Juane Flammee Kimberly Legend Matina Moravsky Div Sophie's Choice Stupice Sun Sugar |

Bobbie - I just started going thru my tomato seed stash last night (Wed) and I beleive I have a few of your wanted seeds. A few, however, are seeds I received in trade if that's okay. I'll shoot you an email later regarding what I have that I can send across town to you! Sandy |
Thanks, Sandy, I will wait to hear from you before sending off an order. |

Bobbie - I sent you an email! |
Thanks for the trade, Sandy. Here's to delicious tomatos this summer. |

Why just buy in Minneapolis I wonder? I never regarded seeds as something to buy locally. I do seed trades all over. Some of those varieties are hybrids. Have you checked Tatiana's tomato base? |
While I buy seeds online and also have traded seeds throughout the U.S. and Canada I like to support local businesses and was checking if anyone knew of a local source before ordering or setting up trades. I am familiar with the seeds offered in my area of the Twin Cities but not in other areas and wondered if anyone had a source I might not know. An afternoon excursion to a local nursery is more interesting than ordering online and though I wish I could check all the nurseries in the area personally that is not something I can do at this time. Tatiana's site is a good suggestion. It is very informative and I have used it often. Most of the above seeds were rec'd in recent trades and with online orders. Over the years I have grown dozens of heirloom and hybrid tomato varieties. This year I am trying different varieties of early tomatoes. Just for fun! |
Seed Saver's Exchange isn't exactly local, but I believe they are our neighbors in Iowa. |

I have no affiliation to the following company other than being a satisfied customer. Jordan Seeds out of Woodbury, MN offers seeds in small bulk quantities (fractional ounce, ounce, 100ct, etc.) and bulk quantities (fractional and multi pound, 1000ct, 10,000ct, etc.) where applicable. Much cheaper per-seed prices than the small retail packs. Might not be practical for people with small gardens, but seeds for most vegetable types, if stored properly, will stay viable for years so the unused seed can be saved for future seasons. People could also do group purchases and divide up the seeds. They have very limited varieties of heirloom tomatoes such as what the OP wants, but the point is that it is a local company, which is what the OP stated was an important consideration. I too, as a habit, support Minnesota companies over out-of-state companies when feasible and urge others to do so as well. They also offer seed starting supplies and market garden supplies at decent prices. They have a website and offer a hard copy catalog. -Tom |
Thank you all for your suggestions. I checked out Jordan Seeds and as you noted they sell quantities too large for my small vegetable garden. Glad that you have had good experiences using them and their products. My tomato seeds for this year are sown with first germination today, four days later. Looking forward to good eating this summer. |

Bobby - Thanks too for the seeds you sent. Those I've sown have germinated and are happily sitting under lights with all the others (way too many) that I'm growing. I too am looking forward to garden fresh tomatoes, peppers, etc..... This winter has gone on long enough... Sandy |

The main gateway for people arriving in South Korea is Incheon International Airport. To get to downtown Seoul or other destinations is made quite easy and English signposts are located throughout the airport. For information on the different types of transportation to and from Incheon International Airport, visit our Airport Transportation Page. Most of the hotels are located near subway stations and most buses leaving Incheon Airport stop at hotels. If you are just making a quick stop over at Incheon Airport visit this page to learn a little more about the airport.
If you are on a short holiday or business trip and need access to a cell phone, Incheon Airport has many shops that rent phones. To find out about rates and fees check out renting a phone in Korea.
Korea has four seasons and experiences harsh winters and hot, humid and rainy summers. The best time to visit Korea is in Spring or Autumn. It is recommended that you try to avoid visiting Korea in July as the rainy season is in full swing. It can sometimes rain for weeks and floods and landslides are possible as seen in July, 2011. Find out more information about the Weather.
Getting around Seoul or any other city in Korea at first can be daunting but once you get the hang of the transportation system, it can be enjoyable, quick, cheap and dependable. In Korea's six major cities, Busan, Daegu, Daejeon, Gwangju, Incheon and Seoul, a reliable subway system is available. Visit our page about riding the subway in Korea. For the above 6 cities and other cities there is an extensive bus system. The price is very inexpensive and you can get just about anywhere using the bus. Our bus guide is here. For those really hard to reach places or lazy days, the taxis will take you to your destination. Taxis are very reasonably priced and are great for those hot summer days, rainy days or cold winter days. A short ride anywhere in Seoul should cost under 10 dollars and if you are travelling with 4 people that is under 3 dollars per person.
The currency in Korea is the called the South Korean won. For more information and pictures, click here. When travelling to Korea on holiday it is always recommended to bring some cash with you. There are many currency exchange banks at Incheon Airport and scattered around Seoul and other cities. Credit cards can be used in most places in Korea. Shops and restaurants have credit card machines and most tourists have no problem paying for things. For smaller shops, small restaurants, museums etc cash is needed. A lot of taxis will take credit cards. Look for the card symbol on top. To take money out at an ATM machine it must have a sign on top that says international cards, cirrus, visa etc. Use the ATMS located inside the banks. Before you leave for Seoul it is best to check with your bank to see if your card can be used to withdraw money in Korea. Cards with the Cirrus or Maestro logo will work in Korea.
Korean People
Having worked and travelled in Korea I have found the Korean people to be very friendly and helpful. Whenever I was lost or confused in a restaurant they were happy to help. Koreans are very proud of their culture and history and will jump at any chance to tell you facts or stories about Korea. When you meet Koreans for the first time they will ask you how old you are. Do not be offended. In Korea age and seniority play a very important role in how people interact with each other. There is a formal language and customs used when communicating with elders and juniors are expected to follow and obey their elders.
The voltage in Korea is 220 volts. The plug is a rounded 2 prong plug also know as the Euro-plug as it is used in many European countries. If you are bringing electrical equipment with you to Korea you much check to see if you need an adapter or a converter / transformer. Adapter: Most electronic devices today can handle different voltage power sources. Check the plug of your electronic item and if it says 110v – 240v or something similar you will only need an adapter.
Converter / Transformer: If you do not have this sign on your electronic device you will need a converter. A converter / transformer is a small box which converts the electrical current to make it compatible with your device. If you use an adapter only and the 110v – 240v is not on your electronic device, your device will stop working.
Now that you have arrived and settled in, it's time to go out and Explore Korea. Why not visit some of the Royal Palaces in Seoul.

Lonely Planet's top 10 Buenos Aires experiences
Pay tribute to Las Madres in Plaza de Mayo
Founded in 1580, Plaza de Mayo is a stage on which many of the dramatic events in Argentina's modern history have played out. The central plaza saw massive trade union demonstrations and Eva Perón shouting from Casa Rosada's lower balcony in 1945, military bombings in 1955, and the police shooting of five protestors during the 2001 economic crisis. The pigeon-populated square hosts demonstrations and rallies most days of the week, but the peaceful Thursday vigil of Las Madres de Plaza de Mayo (Mothers of the Plaza de Mayo), whose children disappeared under the Argentine military junta they helped topple, is the most powerful and touching.
Contemplate fine art and industry at La Boca's Fundación Proa
You will do a triple take when you first glimpse the sleek Fundación Proa rising, stately and silver, above the filthy river and broken-down buildings of La Boca. The city's most distinguished art gallery is in fine form after an extensive renovation. Now Proa is a standout, not only for its clout in the international art scene - a Marcel Duchamp exhibit heralded the reopening - but also for its unlikely location in a recycled building on La Boca's gritty riverfront, miles away from the gallery districts of Recoleta and Palermo.
Join the hoedown at a country-style peña
Don't cry into your cerveza (beer) if you do not have enough time to spend the day at a country estancia (ranch) - you can soak up some gaucho culture without leaving the city limits. Peñas are folkloric music clubs where regional musicians perform on stage and a jovial crowd chows down on country-style cuisine. After the set, the real festivities commence as the audience passes around harmonicas and charangos (five-stringed guitars) for a community jam session.
Retreat to a leafy urban oasis in one of the city's parks
Even the most cosmopolitan traveller needs an occasional escape from the traffic-choked streets of downtown Buenos Aires. Throw together a picnic lunch - a half dozen empanadas (savoury-filled pastries) and a mini bottle of Malbec should do the trick - and retire to one of the city's green spaces for a lazy afternoon. You will feel wonderfully indulgent drinking wine on the grass while fitness-conscious porteños scamper past in shiny workout garb.

1:1 means having a truly personal experience that is more than just a normal relationship between myself and professors. It means having a true family, here to help you with anything. When I was on my way to tour Union, I had a major car accident. To help me out, the then Dean of Admissions let me stay at his house that night. That is a perfect example of the family atmosphere Union has.

Elijah and Tana's Elephant Run
Earned a Coffee Tumbler
Has raised over $125!
My wonderful family and friends. It's another run for the elephants! We need to stop the brutal killing of African elephants for the ivory trade.
Elephants are wonderful, gentle souls. Let's give what we can, even $5 will help, promise! THank you so much.
Join me in making tracks for elephants! On April 26, I'll be participating in the sixth annual WCS Run for the Wild, a 5K run/walk at the Bronx Zoo. This year's event is dedicated to African elephants, which are under brutal attack as demand for ivory skyrockets. The funds I raise will go toward the Wildlife Conservation Society's projects to conserve African elephants in some of their last strongholds.
Like humans, elephants form strong family bonds and friendships, and go to great lengths to care for and protect their herds. But unfortunately, these majestic creatures face an uncertain future. As organized crime takes over the ivory trade, poachers have become more sophisticated and lethal. The past two years have been especially deadly for elephants.
With your support, I hope to raise my target of $XXX. Even $10 will make a big difference for African elephants. The donations I collect will help WCS recruit and train more guards, ramp up anti-trafficking efforts, and educate millions to reduce ivory demand.
Please also consider joining me for this fun event! You can register at http://www.wcsrunforthewild.org.
Thanks in advance for your generosity and your commitment to saving African elephants.
Tana and Elijah-Namaste!

EDIT: hmmm i thought i was following a different post this isnt where i thought this was going..little mix up my bad
Edited by brc0703, 10 October 2010 - 03:31 PM.
Edited by brc0703, 10 October 2010 - 03:31 PM.
No problem, but next time you could do it yourself and here is how
1. Download 7 zip, unzip the debian
2. there will now be 2 files, control and data, unzip these with winrar or something like that
3. go in the control folder, edit the control file, you will find a dependency line, change what dependencies you want to add/remove
your done, now just repack it
to do so
1. make a folder called whatever the .deb is to rename, for instance here, "Notified"
2. make a folder inside that folder called DEBIAN, copy the control file inside the old control folder here
3. next just take the data folder an put in inside the Notified folder
4. Drag the notified folder to SSH /var/root/
5. type CTRL + T, type this "dpkg -b "Notified" Notified.deb"
- dpkg -b (means build a deb)
- "Notified" (is the folder)
- Notified.deb (is the new .deb)
Done, you just removed a dependency
If you need any more help just ask
MobileNotifier 0.5.0-120 w/o libactivator dependancyim just new here can you pls make me a deb of mobilenotifier 5 iwhtoit the dependency of activator? your will be much appreciated. )
Edited by r0bop0lo, 03 July 2011 - 06:35 PM.
Hate to bump an old thread. but do you think this might work with removing dependencies from original installous 5 and appsync debs?
I have not found any other installer/appsync combo that is worth a damn (installs the app in working order AND allows itunes sync)
Cydia has a weird add/remove chain reaction when the original debs are installed (minus the hacku repo) and overwrite errors occur (or the add/remove tries to occur any time you want to install remove somthing else).
Or I need to find the correct installer/appsync combo that does not reference any other damn app that it thinks is needed (so many ones out there still have the appsync 5 dependency).
Anyone have any good ideas?

What is the proper calculation for the rise of each step for a concrete footing on a slope that will support a free standing wall? The wall will be constructed of residential King size brick that is roughly 9 5/8 x 2 5/8 x 2 3/4 and the wall will be 2 wythe thick if that matters. My thought is its the height of the brick plus the mortar thickness which will be 3/8". |
Follow-Up Postings:
The rise of a step for a wall? Maybe you'd better add a simple sketch that explains what you're building & asking about. |

Stuttgart and Paderborn ended 2014 with goalless draw at the Mercedes-Benz-Arena, leaving two points between the two sides heading into 2015.
Chances were few and far between, but the best fell Paderborn's way with Sven Ulreich earning credit for Stuttgart taking a point.
Huub Stevens' men failed once again to win two games in a row for the first time this season, but at least ensured they will spend the winter break outside the bottom two.

Fill & Freeze Wrinkle Treatment is the Derm Exclusive product that generates the most interest in the people who ask us about the line. The claim about this wrinkle filler is that it provides results just like dermal fillers or injections like Botox—without "the pain and hassle of visiting a dermatologist." Fear of the needle has become a common way for many companies to market skin-care products like this, but these products simply cannot work as claimed!
This slightly thick serum smoothes lines and wrinkles, so it can be considered a "wrinkle filler," but it doesn't work in any respect like the dermal fillers used in doctors' offices. This does, however, make the skin feel a bit tighter because of the amount of film-forming agents.
The polymer ingredients this contains do have a "filling" effect, but it's temporary, lasting only a short period of time, depending on how much your facial muscles move.
We can't say this enough: There is nothing about this Derm Exclusive product or any product in the line that can be vaguely considered an alternative to Botox or dermal fillers, whose effects are not only strikingly impressive but last for months before another treatment is needed.
You can try this product, and may find yourself liking the temporary results, but that's about it.
What about the claim that this can improve dark circles? It does contain ingredients with some research showing they can improve dark skin discolorations, but they are not unique to this product. Plus, if undereye skin is dry or has a crepe-y texture, this will make the area smoother so it reflects light more evenly. This makes dark circles slightly less apparent—but the reality is they're still there, and not any lighter than they were before you applied this product.
If your dark circles are from sun damage, the amount of vitamin C in this product may have a subtle lightening effect, but you can get vitamin C from many products.
This contains a fragrant flower extract, so it isn't fragrance-free, but it doesn't have a strong scent.

Derm Exclusive is a small collection of anti-aging products from Beverly Hills plastic surgeon Dr. Andrew Ordon. You may have seen him on the television show The Doctors, where he's credited as their plastic surgery expert and co-host.
Derm Exclusive products are sold online or by phone. On their website, the products are arranged in kits ("Collections") ranging in cost from $39.95 for the 4 product Introductory Collection to $164.55 for the 7-piece Ultimate Collection. Once you've purchase a set, you then have the option to reorder products individually—but first you must decide if you want to become a Derm Exclusive club member (which means you sign up for automatic shipments and enjoy a discount on reordering individual products) or if you prefer to pay the "regular" price and not sign up for the auto-replenishment club.
The kit and individual product pricing structure is among the most confusing we've ever come across for a mail-order line. Despite the headache of trying to figure it all out, we must acknowledge how helpful the customer service representatives at Derm Exclusive were. This is not a line with straightforward pricing, no matter which option you choose, and they were exceedingly patient.
The Ultimate Collection includes a well-formulated sunscreen, but only 1 ounce of it. Research shows conclusively that all sunscreens must be applied liberally to face, neck, and chest to achieve the SPF on the label. If you use this sunscreen as you should—liberally—then it will be used up in less than one month, despite their claim that all of the products in the collection will last for 90 days. To us, claiming 1 ounce of sunscreen will last 90 days is unconscionable. Generally, the size of each product from Derm Exclusive is on the small side, but, as mentioned, you can reorder some of the products individually if you call the company.
The line is represented with pictures of a stunning, though clearly "Photoshopped," picture of actress Minnie Driver's smooth and flawless skin. While we admire Ms. Driver's work (she is an amazingly talented woman), her endorsement of this product line is far less than what we expected of her.
Despite his profession, Dr. Ordon feels, as he should, that for some people, plastic surgery isn't the answer. As the rest of his story goes, he began looking for skin-care alternatives to surgery. In time, he discovered and decided to align himself with the Derm Exclusive brand and their "instant results" technology. This technology is built around four peptides meant to work their magic without needles, scalpels, lasers, or downtime. That sounds great, but here's the catch: There's no substantiated research, or any research of any kind that you can get from the company, proving that any peptide or peptide blend works in any manner akin to cosmetic corrective procedures that a doctor can perform. From almost any perspective, it's sheer nonsense, but obviously not to Dr. Ordon.
Dr. Ordon steps beyond medical reality with his claim that "Now you can see the same instant age-reversing results as the patients who come into my Beverly Hills office, without surgery or invasive techniques." That's the tempting hook that has so many curious about these products, but it's about as disingenuous as it gets in the world of doctor-fronted skin care.
Believe us when we say that plastic surgeons and dermatologists who perform cosmetic corrective procedures are not going out of business because of products from Derm Exclusive! Even Dr. Ordon hasn't closed his practice.
Just to clarify—skin care is important to keep your skin looking its healthy, youthful best, but any plastic surgeon or dermatologist who's being honest about the abundant research on skin-care and medical procedures would have to admit that the best approach to younger, smoother, firmer skin is a balance of skin care with cosmetic corrective procedures and, possibly, cosmetic surgery. Skin care alone does not cut it if you want to address signs of aging such as sagging, volume loss, and deep wrinkles.
In short, Derm Exclusive isn't the non-surgical instant miracle it's made out to be. Dr. Ordon's Derm Exclusive line ends up being more hype (and we mean a load of hype) than substance, and a far cry from what's possible with in-office cosmetic corrective or surgical procedures.

This is the BIGGEST waste of money! Very disappointing that "The Doctor's" would actually let their collegue put a commercial about how he worked 30 years and found the fountain of youth. I am not old and do not have deep wrinkles but I did use the product and it is like superglue and then turns white on your face like toothpaste. Yeah, try covering superglue/hard toothpaste up with make up. REALLY BAD! DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY!
This product has Acrylates (acrylic acid) and makes my face swell. I know now it was the Acrylates. I was tested and I'm allergic to acrylics. Cannot imagine why they use acrylates. It's what is used in acrylic nails (methyl-methacrylate) and boats hulls. Why put that on your skin to be absorbed? Not good.
I purchased the derm exclusive entire line of products for hundreds of dollars and have been using for 6 months now and my wrinkles seem to be worse since ive used it. The fill and freeze didnt fill anything, soon as i smiled it cracked and made me look even older. This product is a waste of money. I couldve gotten botox for cheaper and with better results.

Charlie brings Central Command the news of the 12 hours they have until machine guns tear through their base. Ramsey determines there's not enough time to evacuate all their wounded. So they'll fight back. (Really? Okay…)
They prepare for the airstrike. Charlie watches her little brother, the one she risked so much to save, as he gets ready to put his own life at risk. This is where we see the second of two flashbacks (the first I'll get to in a little bit). It's the Matheson siblings when they're much younger – around the same age as when Rachel left them. It's nighttime – Danny gets an asthma attack, and Charlie rushes over to his bed to help him. "Breathe the way I'm breathing," she says, and they breathe together until Danny's breathing matches her even breaths. Back to the present: Charlie walks up to the brother she's always tried to protect. "Danny, I gotta ask you for something," she says.
Charlie wants him to get inside as soon as the helicopters there, but of course Danny doesn't want to hide – he wants to fight. And we can see that Charlie understands that – she's spent the past few months trying to convince the grown-ups that she's capable of being useful in every rough-and-tumble situation right along with them. But she still can't watch her brother join the front lines. Not yet. "Because you owe me. Because I walked over a thousand miles to get to you. I will never play this card again. I will never ask you for anything again, but I'm asking you for this," she says. Danny admits he'll never be able to repay her for what she's done for him, but then he says something rather reminiscent of another Kripke-created pair of siblings: "It's not your job to look out for me anymore." Charlie can't convince him to not fight. And they don't have much more time to discuss it, because right then in come the helicopters.
At Ramsey's command, the rebels start firing with their little guns on the helicopters and their massive firepower. There are a few little triumphs for the rebels, like when Nora takes down the militiaman operating one of the machine guns. But it's not looking good for the good guys – until Miles and Rachel come riding in with weapons taken from John (who ended up betraying them – Randall, the Department of Defense guy who's somehow behind this whole blackout, got to John and ordered that he tie up Rachel and Miles until he got there, but they broke free – Locket of Power and stash of weapons in tow). Rachel fires up the pendant and wraps it around a shoulder-fired missile, which Miles aims at the helicopter that Rachel somehow knows is the one carrying the amplifier. But a blast from the other helicopter launches Miles backwards. He's knocked out. Or is he dead? Is this the death that Revolution's writers teased?
Well, no, of course it's not. I didn't think for a second that Revolution was about to kill off Miles – and Billy Burke and the unfinished business of Miles and Monroe along with him. But there is a death: It's the one who makes a run for the missile launcher, picks it up, and fires at the helicopter with the amplifier. The helicopter blows up in a blaze of fire and smoke, and with the amplifier out, the other helicopter starts to spiral downward too – but before it hits the ground, a militiaman fires out one last shower of bullets. Four of them go right into the chest of our hero with the missile launcher: Danny.
It's all slo-mo as Danny falls to the ground, and his screaming, crying family rushes toward him. Charlie tries to stop the bleeding, pressing her jacket against his chest, but her brother is already dead.
After the commercial break, we see Charlie and her mother after the battle, both sitting on the ground. "What was I thinking?" Rachel says. "I never should have let you come here, let you fight." Her voice is cracking as she spills out apologies and regrets, while Charlie stares ahead stony-faced. "There was nothing you could have done," Charlie says, voice even. "Danny was set on this. You couldn't stop him. So the only thing that matters now is to finish what he started," and turning to look at her mother, she says, "We're going after Monroe. We're gonna kill him."
Monroe, meanwhile, is at his desk in Philadelphia. Two of his men come into inform him that he has a visitor. With the news of the lost amplifier and helicopters hanging over his head, Monroe is in no mood for visitors. But his interest is piqued when he's told that his visitor arrived in a car – yes, a fully functioning car. It's Randall, whom Monroe asks, "How can I help you?" Randall, there with John, pointedly tells the general, "The question is how can we help you?"

Newton County Quorum Court Opens Meeting to Bufflalo River Hog Farm Discussion
By: Grant ScarsdalePosted: Tuesday, March 05, 2013
The Newton County Quorum Court opened the floor Monday night for citizens to comment on an Arkansas Department of Environmental Quality permitted hog farm that is under construction in the Buffalo National River watershed. The conversation lasted for an hour in the packed Newton County Courthouse. Opponents of the hog farm came prepared with facts on the potential pollution that occurs in connection with large corporate swine farms, as well as the potential economic impact that pollution would create.
In just one case of health concerns voiced, Buffalo River Chamber of Commerce President Michael Dougherty cited studies that link a 20% increase in children developing asthma when spending a significant amount of time within a one mile radius of hog farms. The Mt. Judea School's buildings are located less than one-half mile of the proposed hog farm.
The over-whelming consensus of the opponents of the hog farm was they felt the hog farm's permit was slipped through the approval process without appropriate public notification process, and they were denied public comment.
Buffalo National River Park Superintendent, Kevin Cheri spoke to the frustration felt by the crowd:
Supporters of the hog farm could not provide specific facts on the safety, except the plans conclude the hog farm can withstand a 25 year flood event without failure of waste lagoons. The only problem with that logic is that the Buffalo River has seen three of the four highest peak river stages within the last 21 years, with two of those recorded maximums in 2004 and 2008. These levels of flooding could cause potential failure of waste lagoons.
The majority of the crowd called for the ADEQ to revisit the permit's approval process to allow the public to review the environmental impact studies and to comment on the hog farm.
One of the last comments was from a life-long Newton County resident in favor of the hog farm operation. He stated, "it is a fact that the mere existence of humans inevitability creates a footprint on the environment." There was no concrete decision on the next step regarding the hog farm, but by the end of the meeting, it was clear that people wanted their questions answered: How big should that footprint be and what are the consequences of too large of an environmental footprint?

I've been thinking that the only way I can tell if I like being with other guys is if I experiment with them but he's the only gay guy I know really.

My Week In Jonas Brothers Death Threat Tweets
As many of my loyal readers might have noticed, I stopped posting blogs weekly. After writing a weekly column for the last three years (first on CollegeCandy and then here), I thought I would just keep having semi-interesting things happen to me week after week after week.
Not only am I growing older and not only am I growing much more boring, but I'm also growing much more tired. I write A LOT at my job now (which you can read every single week day) and my brain turns off when I leave work at night.
So forgive me for being too tired to write every single week. Or don't. Send me hate mail and hate tweets. Just like Jonas Brothers fans do. What's that? A transition that doesn't really make sense? Yes, that's exactly what that is. So last week I wrote a harmless post for work about the Jonas Brothers being has-beens. A simple little post that I expected to rile up a few fans.
Turns out the JoBros have a lot of fans. Angry fans. Fans who are hungry for blood and revenge and murder. I'm all for some Emily Thorne style justice, but these death threat tweets surprised even me with their passion and violence.
So with no further due and no further suspense, here's what filled up my feed this week:

Hi folks On the way to figuring out which HTs I grew that were cane hardy, I ended up having to rank them all anyway and thought that might be useful to share. The most hardy ones are duplicated from another thread on cane hardy roses. I only ranked the ones I was relatively sure about, which usually means more than two winters in my yard, but I listed some from only one winter with a note like "might be better". The ones I rank a 3 because they're in a zone 6 pocket might be more hardy - I just can't vouch for it. Also note that I winter protect all my yard with 6" high cut up circles of leaves in the winter, so I'm only guessing about the distinctions between those that only grow with protection from those root hardy. I ranked them root hardy if I never have to baby them or worry that they've come back for 3 years or more, but no more than 6-8" of cane survives the winter. I may need to revise this since I didn't have time to do much protection this year - this may be my test case year! In any case, feel free to add your input from your experience. I coded mine with the numbers below and I think it's a useful distinction, since saying a rose is "hardy" can mean as much as 2 zones difference depending on conditions, location, and amount of rose surviving. Nebraska has yoyo weather from very hot to very cold and dry summers with frequent blackspot of one sort or another. Your survival rate will undoubtedly vary on many of these, but the higher the ranking, the more confident I'd be that the rose would stand a good chance in your zone 5 or warmer garden. Cynthia 1. Cane hardy - only needs cosmetic pruning in spring, otherwise healthy canes HT/Grandifolia Roses hardier than expected in zone 5 1 - cane hardy (w/hybridizer) (those with an asterisk do this in a zone 4 pocket) HT/G 2 - root hardy (w/hybridizer) HT/G 2a - root hardy but wimps (w/hybridizer) HT/G 3 - root hardy in protected site - zone 6 pockets (w/hybridizer) HT/G 4 - hardy only with protection (w/hybridizer) |

Thanks for the information! I planted some of those last year (my first year rose gardening) and am excited to see what comes back after their first winter in the ground. Andrea |
Very well done! I'm a zone warmer so some of those in categories 3 & 4 do better for me without protection. But that's a very useful list, thanks! |
Wow, Nippstress! This is such thoughtful and amazingly useful information! I have been reading through your lists for the past couple of days trying to process and absorb this new info. My head still spins when I think of your success with Barcelona/Francis Dubreuil, for example! I have now spent many happy hours on HMF looking up roses that are unfamiliar to me. I have decided to add Folklore and Barcelona to my garden based on your experience of winter hardiness. Even if they do not turn out to be quite as successful for me, I will sure be having fun experimenting! :-) Can you tell me more about Tantau's Black Lady? Not many people seem to grow it, and it appears to be a fragrant dark red HT that many people overlook. Thank you again for taking the time to compile and post the amazing info in all three of your hardiness posts. Ispahan |
- Posted by Nippstress 5-Nebraska (My Page) on Mon, Jan 28, 13 at 18:57
Hi folks Glad you find this list useful! I realize it's a bit of overkill of information when you might only be looking for suggestions for a few roses, but like Seil I enjoy comparing notes with others to see what survives (and decide if it's worth trying a rose that died one more time). And Jacqueline, the point for me in a list like this is to see what to grow to be as lazy as possible, since anything in my yard has to be hardy enough to thrive without spray or fussing. Enjoy the first rose season, Nummykitchen, and don't blame yourself if roses do die - I fear the HTs that have died in my yard may be as long as the ones that survived, but you never know till you try. Ispahan, glad to help and I hope this isn't too much info to process for what you'd asked about. Like you I spend a lot of time double checking information on HMF, but it's always nice to hear from someone in a similar zone with their experiences too. As for Black Lady, I dearly love that rose and it's tough as nails. It truly is that elusive burgundy dark red color all the time in my yard - no pinking out like some dark reds - and it's thoroughly hardy and disease free as far as my strains of blackspot go (we don't get mildew much here). It's one of only a handful of roses I have multiple plants of in different beds and it holds its own on a nicely compact plant of around 3' or less (both sites have some part sun). My only quibble would be the relatively small flowers compared to other HTs - no more than 2" across or less - maybe between an apricot and a plum size on a good day. I can't vouch for the fragrance with my nose, but I certainly don't detect much of a scent. Still, it's a good rebloomer and entirely trouble free from me. Tantau is another breeder I like a lot, though they do stretch into some roses that aren't good for my zone at times. Glad this is helpful and you're welcome to ask for more input on anything else I grow. |
You must have a fabulous rose garden! What is your experience with Gov. Mark Hatfield? I ask because I bought Ivory Triumph, a floribunda by Von Abrams, last summer and I was astonished to see that it got no BS at all in my damp yard. OTOH, Arpeggio from the same breeder was a BS magnet in its' first year. If I can't get Arpeggio to grow better this summer it may become available for trade to a warmer and dryer climate. |
- Posted by Nippstress 5-Nebraska (My Page) on Wed, Jan 30, 13 at 15:48
Hi Nastarana Thanks for the encouragement - I was recently complaining about a rotten rose year last year, but I'll try to catch them being good this year and post some pictures. Like all of us, it's a work in progress - that's the fun. My Gov. Mark Hatfield was from Cliff's mother plants when he broke up the Eurodesert collection, so it was already an established plant and I think it's grafted onto Dr. Huey. Cliff had recommended it as a better dark red than Matilda, though I bought that one too later. I'm not the best judge of BS, since I have a fairly high tolerance for it (being essentially lazy). It blooms fairly regularly and is a tall bush, between 4-5'. I don't recall it losing too many leaves in the season, but being behind other roses might make its BS less noticeable. I definitely think it's worth a try if you liked Ivory Triumph. Cynthia |
Wow! You do your research don't you?!?!? Even though I'm a couple of zones warmer (6b/7a) I still have problems with some of the more delicate roses and dieback. The fact that you can actually even grow HTs without protection amazes me. Your list is helpful to me because if they're hardy for you, they surely will be for me :) Tammy |
- Posted by Nippstress 5-Nebraska (My Page) on Sun, Feb 3, 13 at 23:42
Tammy - glad this is helpful, and there seem to be plenty of HTs that are tougher than we think of for that class. To balance it out, though, there are plenty of HTs that I can't overwinter to save my life. And I did mention a bit of a hedge that I winter protect almost every rose in my yard, at least with oak leaves at the base, if not full circles of leaf bags in between. My judgments of hardiness are based on what has survived above the protection in spite of me, or without the protection being very consistent. This year's protection is quite minimal and it'll be interesting to see what survives in the long run. Cynthia |
Thank you Cynthia for that great information! The only one I have from your list is Memorial Day. I have 2 of them, one in the ground and one potted in my garage we'll see who survives and thrives come spring! |
