A very good wine kit. I like all of the berry/fruit flavors this one provides. It's aroma is nice too. Let it bottle in a while as aging improves this one quite a bit.
Very Good Review by Ilana

One of the best wines I've made. Let it age 2 years to get the best out of it. The taste is rich and full. Try this one , you won't be disappointed.

As the above reviews say it's tough to wait for this wine. I put a 2 year old bottle into competition last week and took best of show over 150 entrants. Make a batch and have the patients to wait it's well worth it.
This is very good... Review by Auburn Guy
(Posted on 2/25/12)
but you do have to wait for it to age a bit. This was my first batch ever - couldn't wait. The young wine was good, but had a bit of an off flavor. I drank the last 2 bottles about 6 months in and the "off flavor" matured and integrated into the wine giving a full, rich taste. If only I had waited at least 6 months before popping the first cork. I'm going to order this again - and this time I will wait at least 6 months. I bet it will be even better at a year or two, as long as you put in enough metabisulphite.
Awesome Wine Review by saltyag00
(Posted on 8/6/11)
We have been making wine for two years now. Of the 8 batches made so far, this is by far the best of the bunch. It takes will power to not drink all of it in the first several months, but wait at least 6 months if you can.....worth the wait!

Cyril Wecht: Forensic Pathologist
Pennsylvania Mystery
Robert Curley, 32, began to grow ill in August 1991, entering the hospital in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania, for a series of tests before he finally died in September. His doctors went through several diagnoses for his burning skin, numbness, weakness, repeated vomiting and rapid hair loss. Just before he died, he became more agitated and aggressive, so he was transferred to a hospital that could test for heavy metal exposure. Sure enough, he had elevated levels of thallium in his system—a substance used in rat poison before being banned in 1984.
A search of his worksite turned up bottles of thallium salts for a chemistry lab, but none of his co-workers had experienced symptoms. The levels measured in Curley at autopsy were so high it was clear that he'd been deliberately poisoned, and his death was ruled a homicide. As Cyril Wecht describes it in Mortal Evidence, his brain had swelled so much it had pushed down into the spinal column.
Suspicion turned to the home, and it was determined that Curley's wife and stepdaughter also had elevated levels of thallium in their systems, but not to toxic levels. Yet investigators found only a tea thermos that showed traces of the poison.
At a dead end, authorities approached Dr. Frederic Rieders of National Medical Services, a private toxicology lab in Willow Grove with extensive testing abilities, to do a more thorough analysis of the tissues. Rieders requested more samples, so Joann Curley agreed to have her husband exhumed. Hair shafts were removed, along with toenails, fingernails, and skin samples.
Dr. Rieders conducted a segmental analysis on the hair shafts to devise a timeline of thallium exposure and ingestion. The hair strands from Curley's head were sufficiently long to plot almost a year of his life prior to his death. Concentrations of thallium were measured over the course of nine months, with spikes and drops that suggested a systematic ingestion long before Curley had begun his job at the university. Clearly, that was not where he had first received his exposure to thallium. There was also a massive spike just a few days before his death that suggested intentional poisoning. At that time, his family had brought in some food and his wife had been alone with him. The culprit seemed clear and Joann Curley was charged.
The prosecution prepared for trial, calling in some big-hitters.
"I was an expert, with Michael Baden and Fred Rieders, for the DA," says Wecht. "I was the only one to testify at the preliminary hearing and I went through the entire forensic pathology and toxicology stuff that the three of us had prepared. It was a beautiful case because it had to do with the sequential chronological testing of a hair from its follicle to its tip. It showed the peaks and valleys of his poisoning. When he was away, he had a valley and when he was home or with his wife, he had a peak."
His role, he points out, was to interpret the toxicological findings in terms of cause of death. "The forensic toxicologist can come up with the technical methodology and findings, but the pathologist is needed to talk about cause of death and relate it to the science and symptoms and critical episodes. It's a joint effort."
In a plea deal, Joann Curley confessed to using rat poison to enrich herself on her husband's life insurance payment. She received a sentence of 10 to 20 years in prison.

Anglo American Platinum Limited |
05 October 2012
Anglo American Platinum Limited ("Anglo American Platinum") is providing an update on the ongoing illegal industrial action around its Rustenburg mining operations. It has been three weeks since the initial safety suspension and the subsequent industrial action by employees in the Rustenburg area.
Despite the company's repeated calls for employees to return to work, we have continued to experience attendance levels of less than 20%. Currently four of the company's mining operations in the Rustenburg area have insufficient staff to operate and only essential services are being carried out at those mines.
Our Rustenburg concentrators, smelters and refineries and Bathopele Mine continue to operate normally.
Disciplinary hearings for striking Rustenburg mine employees have been completed and affected employees will be informed of the outcome of the hearings today. Those employees will have three working days to appeal the outcome. Approximately 12,000 striking employees chose not to make representations, nor attend the hearings, and have therefore been dismissed in their absence.
Anglo American Platinum also confirms that the company has begun to experience strike contagion at its Union and Amandelbult (Tumela and Dishaba) operations, where workers have presented memorandums of demands similar to those received in Rustenburg.
The Union and Amandelbult Mines, including Mortimer Smelter, are not in operation due to insufficient attendance.
Anglo American Platinum confirms that as a result of the illegal industrial action of its employees and the initial safety suspension, total lost platinum production has amounted to 39,000 ounces, resulting in approximately R700 million of lost revenue.
Chris Griffith, Anglo American Platinum CEO, says: "The Company is committed to participating in the Platinum centralised engagement structures driven by the Chamber of Mines, as well as exploring the possibility of bringing forward wage negotiations within our current agreements."
Anglo American Platinum continues to work with the local authorities and other stakeholders to support the restoration of law and order to the affected areas."
Further updates will be provided when appropriate.

Carolina S.ECUADORExcellent!! I Love It!IT'S EXCELLENT! DON'T DOUBT IT!posted Mar 29, 2010Link to this post
Lily L.USAQuick And Effective Model. Love Sedus.I use this twice a week. Am very happy with it. Quick and doesn't seem to damage my hair too much. I never use more than 350 degrees as a stylist once told me:"why would you put your hair through temperatures hotter than what you bake a chicken in the oven for?" This is my second Sedu. My first one has lasted for years and still functions but i kept dropping it so the plug base (box that covers the plug going in the outlet) is exposed and wanted to get a new one. I leave the old one at my boyfriend's.posted Mar 28, 2010Link to this post
Susi R.Livermore, CABest I've Ever UsedI have been using flat irons for about 8 years, and I usually purchase a new one each year. The last two that I purchased were from the drugstore, and this time, I decided to invest in a top-quality flat iron that would be significantly more expensive than any that I had purchased before. After all of my research online, I decided on this model. I have been using it for about two weeks and I have to say that this is the best flat iron that I have ever used. I have shoulder-length, coarse, naturally curly hair. My normal routine is to use a straightening product, blow my hair dry, and then flat iron my hair. It normally takes me around 25 minutes. Usually, my hair will be straight and not frizzy, but not glossy either. In heavy humidity, it becomes much bigger and frizzier. With this Sedu flat iron, it still takes me around 25 minutes to straighten my entire head of hair, but the result is much better than in the past! My hair is actually glossy and I don't have any fly-aways. It stays straight and shiny in humidity, and it lasts overnight (if I sleep on it). I have gotten so many compliments on my hair in the past few weeks. Everybody asks if I have gotten my hair cut because it looks professionally styled. It is a lot of money to spend, but it is worth it. If you are going to spend in this price range, I believe that the Sedu is absolutely the best product that you can get for your buck.posted Mar 28, 2010Link to this post
CarolineSedu Magic!HI EVERYONE! I'VE BEEN USING MY SEDU FOR ABOUT TWO WEEKS AND IT'S BEEN ABSOLUTELY AMAZING. IT DELIVERS THE EXACT RESULTS AS THEY CLAIM. I USED TO USE CORIOLISS BUT IT STARTED CRAPPING OUT ON ME. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH, I CAME TO THE CONCLUSION THAT MY HAIR WAS TOO THICK FOR THE TEMP. OPTION IT HAS. SO, IF YOU HAVE THINNER HAIR, IT SHOULD STILL GIVE GREAT RESULTS. IF YOU DON'T, TRY SEDU. DON'T LET ME COMVINCE YOU, LET THE PICTURES. :) *FIRST PIX: AFTER I REGULARLY BLOW DRY IT. *SECOND: SEDU MAGIC BABY!posted Mar 25, 2010Link to this post
LindaMOAmazing ProductIm not the one to write a review but this flat iron is great. I have very thick, frizzy, curly hair, and this products makes it straight as possible. I dont even have to use anything in my hair to straighten it. I just blow dry or wait till it is dry. Sometimes i but a gloss on it for some extra shine. This product is totaly worth the money , I will never buy any other flat iron again.posted Mar 25, 2010Link to this post
KaylaMAStop Reading!!!Like me, you're reading every single review to just "make sure" it's really what they're talking about. Like me, you'll end up looking through 50 pages of reviews, and 3 unhappy customers makes your stomach turn. Then you'll buy the straighter and wonder why you wasted so much TIME. Trust yourself and just buy the dang straightener!! I was so weary for so long, just deciding if this was really the best choice. And any bad review questioned my judgement. Get over it, because you know in the end you WILL end up buying it. Trust me, don't go over every review because they all praise this HEAVENLY hair straightener. Do not expect to never have split ends. I'll tell you the truth, unless you have a seriously amazing heat protectant (Which you definitely need to use anyway)you are going to get some split ends. It's 400 degrees of heat, your hair is gonna get some damage. Just get regualr trims. (: You totally forget about the price once you have it! It doesn't pull your hair out, (LIKE THE CHI DOES!)It just glides over it with ease, leaving it super SHINY, SOFT, and most importantly STRAIGHT! now for curls, this doesn't work so well, if you want some curls, go with the sedu revolution. It's still AMAZING but smaller and you can do more things. Mind you, it's a little more pricey. Guard this straightener with your heart. I foolishly lost mine after loving it for 2 1/2 yrs. Now I'm stuck with my twin sister's CHI. You notice the difference when you are forced to switch. All of my friends loved it. One friend in particular hair's took 1 1/2 hours to straighten with her old one. And it was frizzy, dried out, and tons of split ends! Well I let her use mine and her massive amount of hair was so easy to straighten. I cut the striaghtening down to 28 minutes and 43 seconds! The transformation was amazing and now she owns a sedu. My black friend Haley loved it!, my bff katherine wishes i didn't lose mine. My birthday is this weekend and I'm planning on buying a new one, which is why I'm on folica. So stop reading here please! You KNOW you will regret reading 300 reviews once you have it. Trust me and the ratings! BUY THIS DANG SEDU and let your hair look BEAUTIFUL! (: Have fun with your new favorite toy. And please, don't lose it.posted Mar 24, 2010Link to this post
LeslieLove It!Up until recently, I've always gotten my hair straightened. Deciding that it was too much stress on my hair, I'm growing it out, only to have to deal with half curly, half straight hair. After reading the great reviews about this product, I bought hoping for the best. It exceeded my expectations...it doesn't dry my hair and it's left silky and shiny. Now if I could just find a good styling product...posted Mar 24, 2010Link to this post

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Ali!
Facts about Ali
- Breed: Bengal
- Color: Spotted Tabby/Leopard Spotted
- Age: Young
- Sex: Female
- Hair: Short
Ali's Info...
I am already spayed, up to date with shots, and good with cats.
Ali is a love-bug. She is always the first one to greet her foster-mom in the morning, and she's always waiting by the door for her to return from work. Ali is a little lap cat, and also follows her foster-mom around. When she get's separated from her foster-mom, she'll call for her. Ali also has a very cute little chirp and loves to sleep under the covers and blankets.
She would probably be OK with another cat, depending on the personality of the other cat.
Ali is up-to-date on vaccines and has been vet checked.
If you are interested in Ali, please contact Marilyn by e-mail.
Other Pets at California Bengal Cat Rescue
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Ali, a Redwood City Bengal cat was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Bengal for sale in Redwood City, or seeking a Bengal cat from a breeder in Redwood City.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Redwood City already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Redwood City breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Bengal breeders who help with Bengal rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Redwood City paves the way for another one to be saved.

Actor, activist Ed Asner, 83, falls ill during 'FDR' one-man show
83-year-old's condition not released
GARY, Ind. - Actor Ed Asner was taken away by ambulance after falling ill during a performance in northern Indiana on Tuesday night, witnesses said.
The Chicago Sun-Times reported the 83-year-old cut short his performance in the one-man show "FDR" at Marquette Pavilion in Gary after having difficulty speaking.
The show, in which Asner portrays Franklin Delano Roosevelt, began 45 minutes late, and Asner was visibly confused and frustrated, leaving the stage after only 15 minutes, members of the sold-out crowd told the newspaper.
Asner's condition was not released Wednesday. Audience members said Asner apologized and promised to return when he could.

The high cost of driving is continuing to climb. The American Automobile Association says driving now costs an average of 59 cents a mile.
One factor contributing to the increased cost is gasoline prices, which AAA says are up nearly a dollar from a year ago across the nation.
Oil prices hovered below $109 a barrel Thursday amid concern rising fuel costs could undermine U.S. economic growth and demand for crude.
Regular unleaded gasoline in the U.S. currently averages $3.69 a gallon, up 23 percent from a year earlier.
"The main worry is that with more of the consumer's budget going toward gas at the pump, it will hold back the nascent recovery," said Anthony Michael Sabino, a professor at St. John's University's business school. "It will put a crimp into spending plans for corporate America, as the costs of energy, transportation, and so forth rise accordingly."
Meanwhile, fuel prices are not the only thing on the rise.
Tires are also more expensive with raw materials up 15 percent. And depreciation is up about 5 percent this year with gas guzzlers quickly losing their value.

This product has been discontinued
It's such an ironic situation. I found my HG foundation when it's being discontinued. It has everything I want: sheer to medium coverage, lightweight, natural look, perfect color match, no shine on my T-zone even after several hours and no reactions so far. I hope they change their minds and keep producing this perfect product..
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
♥ i love this so much. it really enlightens my skin, it is so smooth, gives a glow, so natural finish and feels so light that gives a nice coverage.. this is the only high end product that im gonna use for a long long long time, nothing can beat it. pls estee dont ever ever discontinued this.. ♥
I always come back to this foundation, and I have tried everything. It has the best coverage without being heavy, and it looks so natural. The only negative is the lack of colors, and they continue to discontinue colors (about three thus far). I use Natural Linen, but it's a bit too dark and pink, but there's no other option for me. It makes my skin look so good that I work with the color (it looks perfect in the summer). I'm afraid that EL will be discontinuing this product at some point so I will be stocking up. If you can find a color match, you MUST try this foundation.
I have been using this product for about 15 years, with occasional try-outs of other high end brands. Nothing equals this stuff. Enlighten is smooth, sheer and it retains it's moisture all day. The problem I have found with every other brand is that they are just too dry.
I know I can't buy this product again, because they discontinued it. I wrote to them to ask why and they said that it had been replaced by improved foundations, and I forget now which they recommended in its place. I ended up buying Lucidity and one of the others and for me, nothing matches Enlighten. I felt I had wasted quite a lot of money trying to find an Estee Lauder replacement for Enlighten. I have left Estee Lauder for foundations as nothing now seems to suit me (can't find the ideal colour/texture anymore).

I've used Estee for many, many years (oops, I'm telling my age!) and have tried other products, both cheap and expensive, but I always come back to Estee. It makes my skin flawless looking....and, believe me, my skin is far from flawless! I guess I should just stick with what works and what makes me look good. A friend of mine asked me a while back what kind of makeup I used because she said my skin always looks so natural and smooth. What a nice compliment that was! :)

Wherever can I find this in Gentle Ivory? I have scoured every E.L. in Canada and Estee's best foundation seems to have slipped off the face of the earth. This stuff really evened out my skin tone, covered zits, even though it's medium coverage, and gave that radiant glow. I tried their newer Idealist Foundation (good) and Lucidity (no, it doesn't compare either). I now have Chanel Vitalumiere but sure wish I could find my beloved E.L Enlighten...'wipes away a tear'....
I've been using the Enlighten foundation for six years. I'm very fair with skin that is normal to dry and don't like to wear heavy makeup.
I started out with a shade called Daybreak, which they discontinued. I used the live online beauty help service on the Estee Lauder website and asked which color would be closest to Daybreak. The very helpful consultant recommended Vanilla Beige, and I ordered it. It was perfect! Great service.
I love Enlighten because it's light, silky, and evens out my skin tone. If you're looking for major coverage, Enlighten probably isn't the best foundation for you. I wish the SPF were a bit higher, but otherwise, I am sticking with this foundation for as long as I can!
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I used to use this foundation years ago and I decided to begin wearing it again, since I used to love it. Maybe the bottle I got was old, because this broke me out unlike anything else I've ever used, and I rarely break out. I broke out all around my my nose, cheeks to temple, and forehead. I was really disappointed, but I exchanged it for Individualist and hopefully that will work better for me.
I bought this about a year ago in #16 Neutral Ivory. It does smell like paint, and the open-top dispenser does seem unsanitary, but otherwise this stuff is great. Goes on really smoothly and disappears instantly. Leaves a nice glow and makes it look like I've got naturally dewy skin. It's not for cover-ups or concealing. Also, it can be a little oily later in the day. Still, for the blendability and color match, I would give it 5 lipsticks. I'm taking one off because they discontinued my color, and no one at Estee Lauder or Nordstroms or Bloomies can tell me which of the remaining colors is a match. I'm literally an ocean away so I can't just pop in to see myself! If anyone has a suggestion about which color to use that's close to the old Neutral Ivory, I would really appreciate it.

You Can Buy Iris Apfel's ACTUAL JEWELRY on Yoox.com
It's been quite the busy year for Iris Apfel. Fresh off her designing stint at HSN last summer, the infamous tastemaker is teaming up with Yoox.com for an entirely unique jewelry buying experience.
Starting Monday October 24, fans of the fashion icon's eclectic style can shop three Iris-inspired lines on the e-commerce site: the Collection (newly created, ready-to-wear pieces made from sustainable materials, priced from $45 to $525), Limited Edition (a higher-end line with a twp to six item run per piece, each costing between $1,195 and $2,800) and Personal (one-of-a-kind and straight from Iris's actual closet, in the $695 to $3,500 range).
Although we're intrigued with the option of purchasing something that Apfel personally owned, we're definitely excited to peruse the other options as well. Plus, with such a low starting price point, we might save enough cash to add a few other Yoox.com goodies to our digital shopping bag before checking out (last season's Chloé pumps, anyone?).
Start shopping the Iris Apfel & Yoox.com event this coming Monday, October 24.

Our children grow up frittata fast. They start out little bitty eggs, get whipped up into a froth (by our mad parenting skills, no doubt), and then poured into a pan... ready for the oven (a.k.a. the world). We turn around for ten minutes, and when our gaze next falls upon them, they are a ... frittata... nothing like the little round egg we started out with. Our hearts break a little (partly because we're proud of how far they've come, and partly because we'll always miss the baby they once … [Read more...]
Recipe: Weeknight Cod Fish Feijoada
One of our readers, Annabelle, suggested we try today's Cod Fish Feijoada. This filling, yet healthy Portuguese stew made it's way to the islands of São Tomé and Príncipe during colonization. Things have evolved quite a bit since then. While most Feijoada's involve black beans (even as far away as the one we made for Brazil), the islanders favor this white bean version and make it with readily available fish (and sometimes pork). The entire principal is a slow-cooked, tender meal full of … [Read more...]
Recipe: Easy Banana Mousse with Chocolate Curls
When I first read that bananas are popular in West Africa's island country São Tomé and Príncipe, I envisioned them eaten raw on the surf-swept beaches... or perhaps sold battered and fried with a cloud of powdered sugar. While all this certainly does happen, I never imagined I'd see them folded inside of a fluffy mousse, decked out with indulgent curls of dark chocolate. But I'm sure glad I did. In my reading I learned that this mousse could be made any number of ways - with or … [Read more...]
Recipe: Sweet Potato Frittata
Ava grabbed the small, purple step stool and placed it squarely in front of the kitchen counter. She's gone through a growth spurt lately and yet my little girl still stands on her tippy toes to see into the mixing bowl. On days like today, when I see her eyes peep over the top of the bowl and grow wide with delight, I hope she never grows up. With quick jabs of her whisk, she pops the yolks and helps stir together the frittata mixture. In the background we hear the delicous sizzle of … [Read more...]
About the food of São Tomé and Príncipe
Are you slightly offbeat? Do you prefer to stand out from the crowd, preferably while eating chocolate? São Tomé and Príncipe is just the place for you. These two tropical islands, just over 372 square miles combined, are home to an amazing amount of plants and animals that have developed into their own, exotic form. These spectacular critters are literally found nowhere else in the world. The cocoa covered islands have guaranteed that they evolve in isolation - think of it as a … [Read more...]

One of the most cost-efficient ways to pay for placement is to sign up with a company that provides search results to other sites, such as GoTo.com or FindWhat.com. Advertisers on such sites bid for placement in search results based on their chosen keywords. Their bids are based on the amount the advertisers will pay each time a customer clicks on their listings in the results from a search engine that uses one of the companies' listings.
While prices are based on bids, listings can run between 1 cent and $10 per lead, with an average of about 16 cents per lead. Both GoTo.com and FindWhat.com also charge minimum monthly fees. Costs usually correspond to the popularity of terms and where entrepreneurs want their results positioned. For example, if an entrepreneur chooses a very popular term that will likely create a lot of clicks-such as "Viagra"-it will probably cost several dollars per click to be listed first. However, being tops under a less popular term, such as "aspirin," might cost just 10 to 15 cents per click. You can save even more money if you're content with being listed No. 5 under "aspirin"-which may cost about 5 cents per click.
Another paid-placement option is to work directly with search engines. Yahoo!, for one, now leads off its search results with five paid spots. Google also features sponsored links-but styles them to resemble paid advertising. In addition, Excite has its own internal program that supplement listings from FindWhat.com, as does AltaVista with GoTo.com.
Experts say companies that provide listings to search engines are the best bet for entrepreneurs, because the search engines are themselves likely to charge higher monthly minimum fees and involve ad reps. Plus, with a listings provider, your site shows up in many places on the Internet. GoTo.com, for example, claims its listings reach nearly 75 percent of the total U.S. Internet audience.

Do youknow of any that dont show up in the typical web search that have dwarf or semi drarf versions of: Black Oxford - Calville Blanc - Cox Orange Pippin - Sops of Wine - Pink Princess - Pink Delight - Ashmeads Kernel Any advice would be very much appreciated! |

I should clarify: I am looking for these as apple TREES, bare root or potted. The bigger the better Thanks! |
- Posted by scottfsmith 6B-7A-MD (My Page) on Fri, Apr 12, 13 at 18:46
You can probably get a few at Miller Nurseries. Also look at Maple Valley Orchard. Scott |
- Posted by NewOrleans7 none (My Page) on Fri, Apr 12, 13 at 19:11
unfortunately they are both sold out- they were some of the first I looked at |
If you could only get 2, Calville Blanc and Ashmeads Kernel are the prizes of those. Look at Kidd's Orange Red as a Cox alternative. |
You can try Starkbros. Nursery. They got some of the varieties you are after. Tony? |

Starkbros has just the cox and it is sold out |

Have you checked Trees of Antiquity And Fedco? Patty S. |
One Green World has some of them on m26. I got 3 trees from them a few weeks back. They were small but I'd rather have small trees that haven't been headed and have viable buds lower on the truck, so they suited my needs. gary |

Try grandpas orchard |
G'pas orchard stuff is big. |

thanks for the advice! I bought some red fleshed and gravenstein apples along with some cherries and some asain pears from OGW... they havent arrived yet. .. they have two of the other varieties I listed but not the rest... Grandpas doesnt have any of them, unfortunately. Any other suggestions? |

As of today Cummins has 1 Ashmead's and plenty of Cox. |

Thanks very much. I have been in email talk with Cummins and wish they had more of my varieties available. the ashmeds is on a stock that isnt for me. |

New Oleans: David at Schlabach Nursery in Medinah NY listed a lot |
- Posted by NewOrleans7 none (My Page) on Mon, Apr 15, 13 at 17:33
thanks spartan! I know the schlabacks and just picked up 15+ trees from them last week. Unfortunately they are almost sold out of everything this year and thus the posting I made I just bought 4 trees from Burnt Ridge Nursery who were nice on the phone. Both Nurseries are very affordable. I am still really looking for these three varieties in dwarf or semi-dwarf: Black Oxford any leads would be greatly appreciated |
Is there some reason you don't like B9 rootstock? That's what Cummin's had the Ashmead's Kernel on. I also see Black Oxford and Sops of Wine on it at Maple Valley. I've got several trees on B9 and it has been a good balance between not too big and not too small (like M27). If you want it on P2 or M26 instead, have you checked to see if Maple Valley can make you a benchgraft? It seems like they still have scion wood for both varieties and they do custom benchgrafts for $10. |
- Posted by NewOrleans7 none (My Page) on Tue, Apr 16, 13 at 0:44
Maple valley does not have any them- they have not updated their site in a long time, unfortunately. Cummins doesnt list any of the varieties I am looking for now on their updated list I really appreciate the help everyone! If I could just get a BLACK OXFORD, I would be greatful. That and the new Opal are the 2 I really wanted this year, and despite planting 24 new trees this year, I cant find these two. (opal is liscenced only to certain growers and Black Oxford is just sold out everywhere) |
- Posted by milehighgirl CO USDA 5B/Sunset 2B (My Page) on Tue, Apr 16, 13 at 14:05
St. Lawrence lists Black Oxford but they only use standard rootstock. |

- Posted by john_in_sc z7, upstate SC (My Page) on Tue, Apr 16, 13 at 14:31
Just to put a bug in your ear..... Keep an eye for Disease Resistance when look at those varieties.... Quite a few of the Very Old varieties have some pretty good resistance... but several are quite susceptible.... While Cox and Ashmead's are wonderful apples... I lost my Ashmead's Kernel this year to Fireblight... The 3-year old tree died to the ground. Also... It's worthwhile to get what you can get now - but the shipping/planting season is quickly closing... I think put together your good list and make sure you can start ordering as soon as they start taking orders for Fall 2013... Thanks |
- Posted by milehighgirl CO USDA 5B/Sunset 2B (My Page) on Tue, Apr 16, 13 at 16:50
Call Boyer and see if they still have Sops of Wine. (717) 677-8558 |
Here is a link that might be useful: Sops of Wine
Just a thought, St L's uses a russian standard rootstock, but it does not grow any bigger than most semi-dwarf trees. At least up in cold climates, not sure what it would do in warmer climes. You might want to check with them and see how big their rootstock would get in your climate. It might fit your needs. |
- Posted by NewOrleans7 none (My Page) on Wed, Apr 17, 13 at 9:23
boyer is sold out, but I appreciate the new lead st Lawrence had a deadline of last week and isnt answering their phone, although I believe I spoke with them a few weeks back and they didnt have what I was looking for in stock then Still looking- especially for Black Oxford and Sops of Wine thanks, everyone, for taking the time to help! |

I just got a Miller's catalog. They list BOGO1/2 off. They list Calville Blanc, Cox Orange Pippin, and Sops of Wine. The catalog says Mail and Phone Orders Only. (800) 836-9630. Prices while supplies last or until May 25, 2013. |

RSence 2.1.9
Minor bugfix; the argument of the --latency command-line parameter is now correctly handled as a number.
Changes since 2.1.8:
- Minor bugfix; the argument of the
command-line parameter is now correctly handled as a number, not a string. - Some typos fixed in the README and INSTALL documents.
About the latency parameter:
If you supply a number of milliseconds as the argument of the --latency
parameter, each request has that number of milliseconds added to the processing time. The purpose of it is to simulate how your app behaves on networks with large latencies, like cellular networks or accessing a server from the other side of the world.
Usage example:
Adds 200ms of "ping" to your server, even when accessed to/from the localhost:
rsence run -af --latency 200 /path/to/your/project

Marketing Manager Ashley Rich takes a much needed vacation and had the chance to take a peek at the incredible Fashion World of Jean Paul Gaultier show now on view at the Montreal Museum of Fine Art. The exhibition will debut in the U.S. at the Dallas Museum of Art in November.
This summer there was an exhibition at the Metropolitan Museum of Art that was the talk of New York: the Alexander McQueen exhibit at the Costume Institute. Everyone I knew saw it and raved about it. I stupidly waited until the last weekend to try and see it—this was a huge mistake. The Met boasted record lines that weekend and even stayed open until the wee hours of the early morning to try to accommodate the throngs of fashion lovers who came from near and far to see the show. While I did miss out on McQueen, I was able to catch the Jean Paul Gaultier retrospective at the Museum of Fine Art in Montreal a few weeks ago and it was, in a word, AMAZING.
I had already whetted my appetite by flipping through the soon-to-be published catalog for the show. The book and package itself are so cool that if you can't make it to Montreal (or Dallas, or San Francisco–the show will travel), it's the next best thing.
But really, the exhibition was like none I've ever seen. The clothes were displayed on pedestals, but they were out in the open, not behind glass, so you could really get up close to examine the detail and work that went into them. Many of the haute couture items also had cards that listed the materials used and how many hours of work it took to actually sew the garment. You also get a real sense of who Jean Paul Gaultier is as a person as well as his inspirations, professional rise, controversies (including the Chic Rabbi collection of 1993), costume designs for film and stage, and his decision to set up a haute couture atelier in the late 1990s. While I still feel a little bad about missing McQueen, the Gaultier exhibition and book satisfied my yen for seeing some stunning fashion up close and personal.

hi everyone.. does anyone recognize the location of this small lake (1st photo) ? or the location of this camping site (2nd & 3rd) ? both should be near montreal..
Hey,My bf and I have been looking for an adventurous spot in Ontario.We are looking for a place where we can take our dashent. Would love to get some lakeside inn,where we can just relax .A few of my colleagues have suggested The Killarney Lodge Inside Algonquin Park Canada and I did see some pics of this spot. We really loved the place and would like to know if anyone has been there. Please share your experiences.
Hi everyone,
I am planning to go to Quebec City to see a concert in mid-May and would like to get in some hiking around the city. In the autumn of 2013, I hiked L'Acropole des Draveurs (breathtaking!) in Haute-Gorge and also Jacques-Cartier National Park to the north of the city.
I was wondering if there are other suggestions as well to check out (particularly if it's got a splendid or scenic views like L'Acropole).
Thanks, Joe
Are there any grocery stores or places we could purchase things like bread, milk, eggs, deli items etc.
The question what is better, to stay at Kamloops or Sun Peaks. We will only be staying one night but is there more to see or do at Sun Peaks?
We will be in N.S in May of 2015 for about 9 full days. We will have a car for the entire time.
1. Can you suggest day hike trails in Nova Scotia (including Cape Breton)
2. What are the areas or sites we should not miss
3. Any tips about weather and dress for May/June

Hi Friends.
We are thinking of taking the train ride from Lillooett to Seton. Planning to be there on a Friday so hoping to catch the 1030 am train.called the Kaoham shuttle.
we are planning to return via the the 2:30 pm train from seton but we were wondering what we can do for 3 hours at seton.
Has anyone taken this train before and would appreciate it if you have us some feedback.
thank you
We are looking to visit Niagara Falls for a short 4day/3 night weekend. We would be able to visit during either early March or early April. We would be driving from northeast Ohio. Does anyone have any recommendations on inexpensive centrally located hotels. We would like to see as much as possible in the short period of time and hopefully do some non touristy things as well. We are in our early 20's, not so much into the bar scene but are seeking more of the Falls and scenic areas. Any input would be great, Thank you!
I'm looking to talk with somebody about experience in private boat sailing in Baffin bay and/or in Baffin island-Greenland sea cross. Thanks
Is it best to take the train and use a cab to get around for the weekend? Are cabs expensive? Thanks!
As usual when travelling to another country we need to purchase a sim card for our mobile phones. What company provides the best reception in remote areas such as Rockies. Whistler to Jasper and Banff.?
Hey guys,
Originally when I was moving to Toronto, part of the appeal was a city that didn't sleep at night. When I finally got here, I discovered that - apart from the bar and club scene - it was difficult to find interesting things to do at night. Thus began the search for some of the hidden night-time gems Toronto has to offer - from activities to locations to small and unknown communities, and the types of characters that you'll meet.
My crew and I decided to make an interactive documentary about this topic. This will allow you to visit a website and see what takes place near you at night. It will shed some light on the unexposed. Do you know any interesting night communities that most people do not now about? Please comment below.
We also just launched the Indiegogo campaign for the project. Check it out, we would really appreciate any contributions you might be able to make. Every dollar counts. Thanks.
We'll be staying in Montreal for 3 weeks in the summer and would like to visit a nice vineyard. It seems like most of them will serve you a few little taster glasses and try to sell you a few bottles of wine. Are there any that have more of a restaurant/hotel set up where you could actually stay the night?
Anywhere within say a 2 or 3 hour driving distance from Montreal would be suitable to us.
Any ideas what to take/wear for a summer trip would be appreciated.
My wife and I are travelling with our daughter, son in law and grand daughter in September/October this year. We are all meeting up in Banff on Sat 3rd October.
We are hiring a van and travelling to each of the following for 2 nights each.
Banff, Lake Louise, Jasper, Sun Peaks (or Kamloops), Whistler, Victoria and Vancouver.
We are string to look at accommodation and would like to share log cabin type accommodation, self contained if possible.
We already have Banff, Lake Louise, Victoria and Vancouver booked (Fairmont hotels), although if anyone has any ideas of shared accommodation in Victoria or Vancouver that would also be helpful. Does anyone have any ideas of places we could book at Jasper, Sun Peaks/Kamloops and Whistler.
Thanks for your help.
hi .. does anyone recognize this place in Quebec? should be a museum or sth..
I shall visit yellowknifs canada in February, 2015, where can I found a good place with free shelter to see the northern light (aurora).
We will be staying for 3 nights in Mid July, catching a ferry from Vancouver. What ferry terminal would we arrive at In Victoria and are there buses that travel into town. We basically want to do the tourist things e.g. Buchard Gardens, hop on hop off bus and sightseeing. What part of Victoria do you think we should stay?
Partner and I are visiting US & Canada in June/July, first overseas trip from Australia. Would very much appreciate some feedback/tips on where to stay and what to do! We are spending 1 week in Vancouver...We would like to visit Whistler for the day, spend a day at Grouse mountain and do some walking around the city to see the sights...we are particularly interested in the arts/crafts and would really like to experience the culture and vibe of Vancouver, it looks wonderful...excited to experience something other than sunny Australia. Thankyou .
Hey, my partner and I are leaving Australia in July, traveling to Europe and South America before heading to Canada.
We would like to apply for the working holiday visa (IEC) but applications are currently closed.
We need to apply before we leave Australia, as we need to be in Australia while going through the application process.
I am worried because we will not be entering Canada until March 2016.
If the applications open back up (which it should do, some time during 2015) - would we be able to apply during this year, but for a time period beginning from March 2016? Or does the time limit begin from the moment you get the application approved and not be able to choose its starting point?
Would we have to send our passports away?
Would we need to get biometric scanning done somewhere?
I have read that I need to present a "proof of available funds" on arrival and that this must be a statement from my bank account which has been issued no more than one week before my departure for Canada - how am I supposed to get this bank statement if I have already been traveling around outside of Australia for a year?? I really don't want to have to fly back to Australia to get this piece of paper, but I will not have anywhere for it to be posted to me either.
Do I need to pay for a return trip leaving Canada in order for my application to be successful, or can I just have proof of enough funds to show that I am capable of buying a ticket at a later date?
Sorry this post is all over the place, the International Experience Canada page on the CIC website has been of no use whatsoever.
I was previously married in a catholic church in canada. I am now divorced. I want to get remarried in order to have my cuban fiance immigrate to Canada.
Do i need anything more than my divorce papers in order to get married to a Cuban in Cuba? Is it easier, faster and cheaper to get married in a church or civil in Cuba?
What is the process, requirements, time, cost...??
Thanks so much

Neuronal stimulation causes approximately 30% shrinkage of the extracellular space (ECS) between neurons and surrounding astrocytes in grey and white matter under experimental conditions. Despite its possible implications for a proper understanding of basic aspects of potassium clearance and astrocyte function, the phenomenon remains unexplained. Here we present a dynamic model that accounts for current experimental data related to the shrinkage phenomenon in wild-type as well as in gene knockout individuals. We find that neuronal release of potassium and uptake of sodium during stimulation, astrocyte uptake of potassium, sodium, and chloride in passive channels, action of the Na/K/ATPase pump, and osmotically driven transport of water through the astrocyte membrane together seem sufficient for generating ECS shrinkage as such. However, when taking into account ECS and astrocyte ion concentrations observed in connection with neuronal stimulation, the actions of the Na(+)/K(+)/Cl(-) (NKCC1) and the Na(+)/HCO(3) (-) (NBC) cotransporters appear to be critical determinants for achieving observed quantitative levels of ECS shrinkage. Considering the current state of knowledge, the model framework appears sufficiently detailed and constrained to guide future key experiments and pave the way for more comprehensive astroglia-neuron interaction models for normal as well as pathophysiological situations.

The Texas Venture Labs at the McCombs School of Business is now Jon Brumley Texas Venture Labs. The name change is in recognition of a combined gift of more than $6 million from Fort Worth businessman and entrepreneur Jon Brumley to fund the growth of the program at The University of Texas at Austin. "This investment is a game changer that enables us to expand the scale and accessibility of the Texas Venture Labs model," said McCombs Dean Thomas Gilligan. "It's a vote of confidence as well, because of the reputation of Jon Brumley as an entrepreneur, a business builder, and a distinguished graduate of McCombs and the Wharton School of Business."
Brumley, 73, received a business degree from UT in 1961, and has founded six oil and gas companies, all of which have been listed on the New York Stock Exchange. In 2005, Forbes magazine named Brumley, and son Jonny, its Entrepreneurs of the Year. "Texas Venture Labs is a gem in the Texas entrepreneurial ecosystem. It provides critical, hands-on experience for aspiringentrepreneurs who learn as students the effort required to get a new venture through the financing process," said Brumley. "For me, this gift is an opportunity to build our capacity to grow the economy of Texas, while giving a leg up to young entrepreneurs, who remind me a lot of myself at that age."
Dec. 5, 2011 — As part of its national environmental grant program, Wells Fargo today announced that it has provided a $125,000 grant to the McCombs School of Business at The University of Texas at Austin that will fund a new Clean Energy track within the 2012 Global Venture Labs Investment Competition (GVLIC).

I figured someone on this forum might be able to help with this. I got it off ebay but lost the ID tag. It has a wonderful smell of ripe peaches.
Also two large stalks broke off during a wind storm and was wondering if anybody would like to trade a cutting of anything that they have. Don't care if it's a NOID just be fairly easy to root and have a nice strong fragrance. Thanks |
