I was moving (dragging and dropping) files from my desktop to my documents. It was a number of files (excel, word, jpeg) and it took sometime to move, half way through the transfer I hit cancel and now I can't find half of the files. They aren't back on the desktop or in my documents. Any ideas where it might be. Thanks for any help.

Patient Comments: Sjogren's Syndrome - Describe Your ExperiencePlease describe your experience with sjogren's syndrome.
Comment from: firstname.lastname@example.com, 55-64 Female (Patient)

I have been tested for this. The blood test came back with SSA/RoAb at 2 and SSB/La AB is 3. I am not sure what the numbers should be, I have Epstein-barre, neuropathy, Raynaud's, dry mouth, and eyes. Was this comment helpful?Yes

I had seven knees surgeries, which included bilateral knee replacements. The surgeon couldn't figure out why I had debilitating pain and swelling of tendons, etc. around knees. Finally, I was diagnosed with Sjogren's. Was this comment helpful?Yes

I'm wondering if dry hair is caused by Sjogren's. I have used every possible product to no avail. I went to a dermatologist and had a biopsy of my hair. The doctor said that it was not internal, but environmental. I have changed hair products and stopped highlighting my hair for a year now and there are still no changes. My hair is so dry it breaks off at the ends. The roots are healthy. We keep cutting the ends and they continue to grow brittle and dry. Was this comment helpful?Yes
Comment from: Rae, 45-54 Female (Patient)
Published: May 02
It all started about five years ago with fatigue and painful joints. I was diagnosed with RA ANA and was positive for fibromyalgia. I was put on Neurontin, Mobic and prednisone. The prednisone gave me a cataract and I needed surgery for that. They put me on methotrexate and I am now testing negative for RA. I am also on Plaquenil for autoimmune Disease, (Sjogren's syndrome). I battle with thrush and urinary infections (bacterial), and use ciprofloxacin, which is an antibiotic that I find can cause many problems like joint/muscle/tendon pain and fatigue – just what I need. I also battle with depression. Everyone just needs to have a good support system. Was this comment helpful?Yes

I have been healthy and active all my life. At age 40, I started having panic attacks and obsessive thoughts of worry. I always thought it was physical a problem with my brain. After 10 years of doctors and mental health doctors, blood tests came back positive and negative for Sjogren's. Retesting still showed the same result for. I am 54 years old now and crippled. I'd like to know if anyone else has had problems with whole-body vibration. Was this comment helpful?Yes

I was diagnosed with Sjogren's syndrome in 2008 and we are still figuring out what triggered it. My mother has non-Hodgkin lymphoma and she is at Stage 4, which is the last stage. The doctors are keeping an eye on me for lymphoma. Some of my days are rough having Sjogren's, but I try to make the best of it. Was this comment helpful?Yes

I was diagnosed with Sjogren's and hypothyroidism after a hepatitis C treatment in 2004. The past four years, the Sjogren's has taken over my active life. I was into daily cardio and strength training, along with bicycling and Pilates. Three years ago, my shoulder, elbows, fingers and knees started to hurt, especially when I moved up and down. I feel pain with every movement. It seems like Sjogren's has taken over my life. Was this comment helpful?Yes
Comment from: TKamp, 55-64 Female (Patient)
Published: March 13
I was diagnosed about 5 months ago. I had a lot of symptoms, but just ignored them because they were so strange that I thought my doctor would think I was crazy. I used to walk a lot for exercise and I would be unable to swallow for lack of saliva and it would make me panic. My lips are always chapped and flaky and the corner of my mouth cracks. Also I cannot eat certain vinegary or acidic foods like salsa or salad dressing because they cause my tongue to burn. I am always stiff with joint pain and have severe tingling in my legs with stabbing pains in my feet. I had to have 5 teeth bonded at the gum line because my gums receded. I have been using Biotene mouthwash,toothpaste, mouth spray but they don't really help. My doctor said to suck on sugarless lemon drops,but then I develop a thick brown goo on my tongue and that is not very nice to look at when talking to someone. Was this comment helpful?Yes

Both these image were taken from the Pylon Lookout on the Sydney Harbour Bridge. The first image is facing east, ie pointing down the harbour to the Pacific Ocean. The second image is facing north-west, ie facing upstream, and inland. Sydney has a population of 4.75 million, which is just under 20% of the entire Australian nation. Sydney covers an area of 12,367 km2, with a density of 380 people per square kilometre. Sheer urban sprawl. From Bondi to Penrith (ie, from the ocean to the mountains), is 65 kms. This is the east-west axis. From Cronulla to Berowra is about 60 kms, ie the north-south axis. From Palm Beach to Campbelltown, the diagonal axis, is 100 kms. We live in enclaves, sometimes determined by socio-economic factors, sometimes by education factors. Often, however, people live where they do from choice, or because their "people" have always lived thereabouts. If I had to leave Sydney, I would hope that I moved to a more densely populated city, ot to a smaller town. |

7. What wouldn't I miss? The sheer size of my city ...

6. What wouldn't I miss? Humongos Cruise Liners
During summer, there is a cruise ship tied up in Sydney Cove, every day. Every weekend there is a different one. This is the "Voyager of the Seas". They are so massive, they dwarf the Harbour Bridge, They dwarf the Opera House. From the Pylon Lookout on the bridge, I could not see Circular Quay (and obviously, judging from this photograph, from the Cahill Walk, I could not see the Pylon lookout), and I could not get a good view of the city skyline. If I had to leave Sydmey, I would NOT miss these cruise liners. I want my city back!! |

5. What would I miss? Sydney's weather ...
My front garden, this morning. |
I had intended to move onto aspects of Sydney I would NOT miss - but had another thought! In Sydney, it is ofen difficult to tell when we move into a new seasom. Now some of you will be aghast, and I can see the pleasures of distinct patterns. I, too, adore a "weather" day. But we still get days that are all-over raining and grey. But, in Sydney we do not get snow. We are on the coast, and so get very few frosts. We are in the Temperate Zone, so we chugg along about on average. Let me give you some official statistics:
So, pretty much the weather where I live borders on perfect. Further inland, but still in Sydney, the weather deteriorates abysmally. Sydney ia a large metropolis, with a population of 4.75 million, over an area covering 12,500km2. This is a population density of 380/km2. In comparison, the population density of Australia as a whole is 2.8/km2, and that of Paris is 22,000/km2. Yeah, if I had to leave, I would miss the weather. |

4. What would I miss? Sydney's public transport ...
In October 2009, I had to surrender my Driver's Licence which I had acquired in August 1965 - my 17th birthday. Now that is a massive challenge, but it was done for medical reasons, and there was no arguing. To avoid spiraling into a slough of despond, my camera and I went more and more places. I learned the routes, and checked the timetables. I began to think nothing of changing lines, of changing modes. I qualified for the Seniors $2.50 per day card, and now I have a digital Opal card. |
I would miss the public transport in Sydney. I travel by all three of these modes. I also travel by taxi because I have a disabled card that grants me a 50% discount. I know there are many people in this vast city who whinge about trains and buses being late, Who whinge about public transport being dirty, squashed, and smelly. That never occurs to me, but I travel out of peak hours. There is also a light rail system (aka trams) that the government is beginning to construct. So ... if I moved away from Sydney, I would miss the public transport. |

3. What would I miss? Sydney's icons ...
The Opera House and the Harbour Bridge separated by a swivel. |
If I had to leave Sydney, or if I CHOSE to leave Sydney, what would I miss? William Kendall seems to think that one of us Sydney bloggers will say that we will miss one of these two icons. Well, yes, I love having them there, and I am emotionally attahed more to the harbour bridge than to the opera house. But, they are just buildings. There are other bridges, albeit they do not have views over Sydney Harbour. But they do have views of water. There are other opera houses, staging remarkably similar versions of the oeuvre. Some avant-garde like this one, and others architectured more conservative. There are other Sydney icons, too. Like the green and gold First Fleet Class ferries. Like Sydney Tower, which just HAS to be a sibling of the Seattle Space Needle. Like North and South Head which stand as silent sentinels at the opening to our harbour. But they are all replaceable, to some extent, in my affections. |

Historical Traveler Reviews Locanda Vivaldi Venice
Delightful and charming boutique hotel
This small hotel is in a wonderful location, facing the lagoon and a 5 min walk to St Mark's Square. The rooms were charmingly decorated in a tasteful baroque style and the bathrroms were newly renovated in white marble and immaculately clean. The receptionists were very helpful in helping book train travel. The bellhops were very friendly and worked hard. Breakfast was mediocre but adequate. I would definitely stay there again!
Silver Wedding Anniversay Treat
We had a wonderful suite on the 3rd floor, room 302, overlooking the lagoon, with an amazing 20 foot balcony. We travelled with Kirker who had arranged beautiful flowers and sparkling Prosecco in the room on our arrival. There was no noise from outside the room (as has been mentioned by a previous viewer). Just 2 slight disappointments. Firstly the attitude of one of the receptionists - he could be classified as "rude" in an "arrogant" way, and on our arrival the only acknowledgement we received was an abrupt "I need your booking form" without a hint of a good morning or any sort of welcome. The 2nd disappointment was the small breakfast room - I had been informed (not by Kirker) that there was a view over the lagoon but the curtains are completely drawn (so obviously no view) it's on the ground floor and the room is tiny - in fact it's somewhat of a squash to fit into your seat if all the tables are taken. Apparently on summer mornings breakfast is taken in the bar area on the 3rd floor - where of course the view is marvellous. However, our suite balcony had virtually the same view as the bar area - and we had it to ourselves!
Pleasant hotel with much to offer
This hotel is a delightful little place on the front, facing the Lagoon. We were allocated a double rather than the booked twin room when we arrived, an error they corrected quickly and efficiently the next day, admitting their fault and moving everything for us. The first room was on the small canal and it was as quiet as we demand (medical reasons require unbroken sleep patterns) and could not have been bettered. It was a light room, high ceilinged. The twin room was darker and not on the canal, but it was spacious, as well-decorated as the other, and also exceptionally quiet. We had no disturbance at any time during the week we stayed - which was over a very crowded Easter in Venice. The breakfast room is very pleasant, a good continental breakfast with meat, eggs, pate, etc., as well as a variety of breads and cakes. Good selection of fruit juices. Expresso also can be obtained here, for fellow coffee lovers! Nice service. Desk staff quite helpful - one didn't have the command of English as the others, but very pleasant attitude. Good restaurant recommendations. Both rooms were priced at 440 Euros on the door, but expect you can get them cheaper on the www. We came in on the Orient-Express so it was all part of the Citalia package. Lovely roof terrace - retreated there in the afternoon after a hard morning's sight-seeing and enjoyed the sun. A real benefit to the hotel. Vivaldi's church, next door, is currently being restored. The bathrroms have either have jacuzzi baths or jacuzzi showers and are quite roomy. The bedrooms have a small speaker system if you wish to use it, for piped classical or easy listening music. At night there is not only the candy/ sweet left on the pillow but also a small weather forecast. I would repeat the experience but my favourite still remains the San Cassiano.
Disappointed on my anniversary
I booked this hotel as a special treat for our 30th anniversary. We have stayed before at a great Venice hotel (Flora), but we really wanted the lagoon view, so we opted to spend the extra money. Our room was 280 Euro a night, with the lousy exchange it worked out to about $340. US. First let me say the room was lovely, with 14 foot ceilings and fabric covered walls. This hotel is located on the Grand Canal on one side and a smaller canal on the other. As a result, it is VERY, VERY noisy. The lagoon barges start blowing their foghorns at about 5am. The boats backing out of the narrow canal go on all night. The wide walkway under the windows is filled with people at all hours.
The staff doesn't speak English fluently which led to some problems I will discuss later. The breakfast was mediocore, the worst of the 3 hotels we stayed at in Italy. The breakfast room was not large enough to accomodate everyone at the same time, so before entering, you needed to stop at the desk and ask if there is a table open. If not, you have to wait.
In the other hotels we stayed at, they loaned umbrellas for the rain, just asking you to put them back in the stand. The Vivaldi documents your room number and explains you will be charged if it is not returned. How warm and fuzzy of them!
I explained to the front desk that I had to catch a flight on Sunday morning, and asked what my transportation options were and what time they would suggest leaving. I was given the requested info, but they neglected to mention that the clocks were "springing ahead" that night and be sure to make allowances (Italy's daylight savings time is a week before ours). The clock in the room attached to the cable TV didn't "spring ahead" either. Since we don't speak Italian very well, we never received the info from the news or the desk, even after we went down for breakfast.
In my opinion, a good hotel would have put a little note about the time change on the breakfast room door and made sure the TV clocks were changed. Needless to say, I missed my flight, had to spend 2 more nights in Venice alone (as my husband had to catch a flight that night to Hong Kong). The extra out of pocket was $200 to change the flight and another 80 Euro per night to stay in a little hotel in Mestre, near the airport. Incidentally, at this little hotel they spoke much better English and were much more helpful the the Vivaldi. I don't expect all of Italy to speak English and I try my best to speak as much Italian as I can when I'm there, but I was sorely disappointed with the level of service at the Vivaldi, and would not recommend it when there are so many better options available.
A little gem in the heart of venice
perfect hotel and location, friendly and helpful staffrequest a lagoon view room its worth the extra cost. The hotel is very easily found when entering san marco from the waterbus turn right and its roughly 3 bridges down following along the waterfront.the hotel has two bars, bar gritti which is open during the winter months a cozy little haven in a busy city and the terrace bar with fantastic views over the lagoon available from easter.nice buffet breakfast something there for all palletsenjoy the hotel it really is a little gem.
Romantic and great location!
A beautiful, historic top class Italian hotel ideal for a romatic weekend away for a special occassion perhaps! Expensive rates are the norm in Venice and Locanda Vivaldi is no exception to this, however you can be assured thta the hotel fittings, service and location are all of the league expected when paying at the upper end of the price range.
Higlights:- 1. Location - only 5 minute stroll from St Marks and right outside San Zaccaria station (airport shuttle bus stops here) 2. Views - views from lagoon front rooms are great but the view from the roof top terrace is outstanding. Breakfast was a joy with views across the lagoon 3. Service - hotel is very service orientated with a small but attentive staff.
4. History - as if Venice wasn't full enough of history, you are also staying in the former home of one of its greatest sons! Church next door has concerts of his music on Thursdays (don't pay for one of the overpriced and very poor quality "authentic" organised concerts at one of the many churches) Great place will return
Lovely Hotel, Noisy Location
This is a lovely hotel that suffers from being in the wrong location.
First, the good points: spacious, beautiful room, nice bathroom, clean.
The staff are exceptionally helpful. The Filipino gentleman who seems to do everything (carries bags, delivers breakfast, etc) is very service oriented. Kudos to him. The problem with this hotel is that it sits facing a very very busy ferry stop...and the tramp of feet and loud voices coming and going outside your window is incessant, made more so because of it's proximity to San Marco. If you are a light sleeper, find a quieter location.
Loved Locanda Vivaldi Hotel
Stayed at the Locanda Vivaldi hotel in Venice for three nights in July and what can I say but absolutely lovely. Had a junior suite on the top third floor of the hotel overlooking the lagoon. Excellent position with only a few minutes walk to St Mark's Square. Absolutely spotless room, wonderful bathroom with jacuzzi, staff very very friendly and went out of their way to answer your questions and help with travel arrangements. Wouldn't hesitate in recommending it.
Beautiful Baroque
We visited Venice in April 2003 for a romantic break- the Locanda Vivaldi lived up to all expectations. My 13th visit to Italy, 3rd time in Venice, this little gem of a hotel is perfect! Attentive but discreet service, stunning views, elegant rooms, the rooftop terrace is a wonderful place to sit and relax in the sun after a busy day in around the city. And remember who lived here - you get a real feeling of the 'Red Priest' in this historic building. The hotel has its own landing stage which makes it easy for arriving/departing by water taxi.
I would recommend this hotel, maybe not families but couples who appreciate history and a touch of luxury will love it.
Superb Hotel
We stayed at the Locanda Vivaldi in March 2002 for our anniversary, we stayed in room 106 which is a corner room, which I can certainly recommend. The views were superb, the room extremely tasteful and large with a very stylish bathroom complete with hydra shower. The location was excellent and the staff helpful. Would not hesitate to go back to this hotel. Lots of nice touches,

When it comes to the Israeli government's future approach to the conflict with the Palestinians, the outcome of the Knesset elections in Israel is less than encouraging. A commentary by Moshe ZuckermannMore
In the autumn of 1989, Dresden was one of the East German cities that became known worldwide for the peaceful "Monday demonstrations" against the government of the GDR that precipitated the fall of the Berlin Wall a few months later. One of the slogans chanted by the protesters at the time was "Wir sind das Volk" (We are the people). Twenty-five years on, a very different movement began organising weekly Monday demonstrations and chanting "Wir sind das Volk". In this photo gallery, we chart some of the reactions to Pegida and the developments relating to this anti-immigration and anti-Islam movement.

I had the same
thought as well....I think one reason might be that with all of the social media available, especially the ability to document this stuff so easily with cell phones, it's almost impossible to keep people from finding out about it. It also appears that all of this blatant in your face fraud happening all over the place today that is being reported (one station said that there were thousands of complaints all over the country as earlier as 10:00 a.m. this morning), that this is somehow part the plan. They just said that NJ has just announced that they are going to be allowing people to e-mail their votes until FRIDAY!!! I think that maybe things are not quite playing out as they hoped so the tactic is going to be to cause as much confusion as possible until they can get the results they want. It also would appear to "justify" the United Nations being here to watch the polls...making it look like things have gotten so bad that we need them here to straighten this out somehow (please excuse me while I gag...). All a bunch of b.s., but I do agree it is curious that the news stations are readily reporting all of this fraud and abuse...It's anyone's guess how it plays out at this point...but one thing is very clear...Houston, we have a very big problem with the integrity of our voting system!

I ordered some bands from Rogue: Orfeo, Dixieland Linda, Archduc Joseph, Opal Brunner, Gruss an Coburg, Nigrette, Singing in the Rain, Pierre Notting, and Etoile de Feu. I ordered them from Rogue b/c I couldn't get them from RU or ARE. I've grown spoiled being able to get 2G plants from them for the same (sometimes less) amount of money that I have to pay for bands. I'm hoping since I ordered for Spring shipping they might be a wee bit bigger than usual. I have ordered others on multiflora from Canada...some Austins, Polyanthas and other OGRs. I have Ascot as of last Spring. No bloom this year but it was in a crummy spot. I have always admired Nantucket. Florentina looks pretty. Did you order the bush or climber? Anxious to see what others have ordered. Susan |
I will be ordering only one rose--Ghislaine de Feligonde, a climbing hybrid musk (I think--some sources call it a rambler)--to replace a climber that died. I do miss making multiple orders for the spring, but at least Ghislaine is lovely and interesting enough to somewhat make up for the lack of quantity in my order. After all, even if I had a bigger yard, I almost cannot keep up with the gardens I presently have--so I will look forward to my single order for 2014. I look forward to seeing pics of your new roses--I am not familiar with most of them, except Ascot, which is gorgeous! Kate |
no roses.....but a number of exciting and novel (to me) perennials, a couple of which I have never heard of and some I have never seen. So, just a few completely new. muhlenbergia capillaris, aka muhly grass - i very much enjoy growing a few grasses because they suit my untidy and sprawly gardening style and this one was cpmpletely unknown to me - a chance sighting on someone's blog and I was pressing the Paypal button. Bought the seeds from the US and hoping to do a fair bit of boasting about this really unusual (for us in the UK) grass. And those pink flowers! Strobilanthes wallichii - I have come across this genus as a foliage plant - Persian Shield, aka S.dyeriana but came across a huge clump of what initially looked like a purple balsam, in a very neglected part of our local botanics. Frantic googling (and a stolen handful of seedheads) and I have them in trays in the greenhouse - a fabulous trumpet shaped flower - great in shade! Linum rigida, aka Texas flax. Love the flaxes and am still in denial about the lack of full sunlight at the woods. Lots of chainsaw action should see to that so decided to try this little perennial, along with the delicious callirhoe bushii. Advice, you Texans? A new primula - P.wilsonii - an easy candelabra type (and the sort I have craved for years). Look out - primulas and geums, I feel obsession creeping up. Finally, another one from the US - mertensia virginia. Uncommon over here but a lovely woodland addition to bluebells and anemones....and the lovely hepaticas. I have not mentioned the trees - where I fear I am indulging my megalomaniac tendencies to the full - there is something quite surreal about a whopping great tree growing from a tiny little seed - I have been sowing entire forests. I know there are more....but will bore myself to sleep if I continue rambling on. |
'Ascot', yes. Looking forward to it. That will likely be the only new rose for '14. |

Campanula, I have Mulhy grass. It is native and very common in this part of Florida. Muhly grass is very pretty and drought tolerant, but I guess that's less of a problem for you. Persian Shield is another common plant in our big box stores. I'm always pining away for lilacs, peonies, and tulips :) |

I actually ordered some Austins. Swore off of them about a decade ago since the ones I tried were real duds in my garden, but have decided to give a few of the newer ones a try. None of the nurseries around here carry Austins, so I ordered 2 Munstead Wood (due to Kate and Diane's high praise), a Lady Emma Hamilton, Carding Mill and Scepter'd Isle. I'm really excited about trying again…hopefully I'll have better luck with them this go around. Also, a nursery I visited a couple of weeks ago was giving away leftover roses with purchases. I spent enough on non-rose stuff that I got to pick two free roses. They had a bunch of moderns to choose from, but don't need any more of those. I got the only two OGRs they had…Zeffy and a Climbing Cecile Brunner. I see what everyone means about Cl. Cecile Brunner being a house eater…she was so much bigger than any of the others roses there. The only place I really have to put her is along the pasture fence. I don't plant anything near the fence for fear the cows and horses will eat it, but maybe that will keep her size in check and maybe they won't eat her completely. I haven't grown any climbers in about a decade, either, so will see how I do with those. My garden only had a few OGRs, so I bought several teas, chinas and polys a few months ago. I potted those up to 5 gallon and decided to wait until spring to put them in the ground. Like Kate, I'll be out of room and time soon, so trying to focus on diversity for these last few new additions. 2014 will be the year of new growing experiences for me. Winter's not even here yet, and I'm already looking forward to spring. |
2014 is the first year that I won't be ordering new roses and I'm not certain that I'll order any after that. I have six roses from Vintage and Rogue Valley waiting to go in the ground and will have to take out at least one (unsatisfactory) rose to make room for all of these. With global warming a reality now, I don't want to plant anything new in my garden and as time goes on will probably cull more roses that aren't doing well. I want to keep about 50-60 of my best roses and hope that over the coming years there will still be enough water and rain to keep them going. Ingrid |

I have a fruit tree list, that does count? I do plan on ordering at least 4 from Burlington as my Christmas gift, just have to decide which 4 it should be. Ingrid, any desire for a couple of 2 story San Pedro Cactus-global warming will not bug them. Flowers are yellow-even made red fruit this year. I could get you some truck bed sized ones. Our neighbors love them, mom hates them and worries they will fall. I worry I will have to be the one to cut them down. |

Miss Caroline, Rosette Delizy, Cole's Settlement, Lois Manners, Xochimilco, Xuchitl, Colonial Days - all from rose petals (and more that I am forgetting). Licorice Tea, Gruss an Coburg, Clementina Carbonieri from RVR. |

Nothing. We got 80 roses the previous winter and are still digesting them, also it has been so rainy since Christmas that I've hardly been able to think about the garden at all, not to mention that it's made digging impossible. Last year I made a couple of substantial orders of interesting plants--sarcococcas, epimediums, sweet and Parma violets--many of which are still in pots. We're integrating these plants into the garden, as well as various natives we dug up and potted last spring. Suzy, you are right to love hepaticas! I'm introducing them into the woods below the shade garden and hoping they have enough organic litter. They're one of the prettiest of all woodland plants. We got interested in our woodland last summer and spent a lot of time cleaning it up, pulling ivy and cutting brush. I took my usual rose cuttings in the fall, but was especially interested in gathering rose suckers. I would like to have at least two plants of every rose variety in the garden, and I'm a long, long way from being there. Also these are the once-blooming old roses that I enjoy so much. Anyway, this is a period for regrouping: reorganizing, integrating, preparing, completing. Although I'm thinking about peonies. I don't have enough of them. And the bulb nursery I bought from last year has some plants that are available only in the spring, so I need to take a look at their list. Melissa |
So far I've been good and it's just been Marianne, and Annie Laurie McDowell. I've got my hands quite full with a pot ghetto that I should be more tender with. But with work and school I find I can't get out there as much as I'd like. I'm hoping to get everyone in the ground and on an irrigation system so they can really take off! Kippy If you so desire, I believe Burlington is working on getting 'Gloire de Dijon' grafted onto rootstock to make it a viable cultivar. Just thought I'd mention it! Josh |

As I exclusively buy bare roots, my buying season is fall to early spring and I did most of my buying last fall. However I have a few roses I ordered in 2014 and arriving any day now, which should be the last for the season: Cornelia, Mrs. Herbert Stevens, Mme Jules Gravereaux, Evelyn, Macmillan Nurse, Alchymist and Aloha Still not sure where to place most of them and I also have a backlog of another 30 or so roses living in pots pending placement also... However the roses I bought last fall make a much longer list... some of the above in multiples.... I think I need to pay a visit to rosaholics anonymous. |
Nik I see we're having the same problem. When you find a rosaholics anonymous chapter please let me know . Perhaps they will open a chapter in America !!!! See my post " am I the only one that can't stop buying roses" but I digress. Here is my 2014 list. All ordered between January and February I'm afraid . From ARE From Heirloom From Chamblees From David Austin From either Rouge Valley or niche I forgot Also numerous salvias, flowering thymes, sages, echinacea and lavenders. Also some Althea's and hardy hibiscus to plant amongst the roses. Happy rose gardening. |
Going into the second roseless year, I cracked and bought Nevada and Alba-semi-plena, 2 roses for the woods. Out of the blue, I was given a Blush Rambler, so from nothing, I have at least 3 new ones this year.....and a whole heap of hardwood cuttings I took on a whim. Trees, though.........now we are talking. Planted out prunus autumnalis subhirtella along with the two bare-roots in what felt like a freezy gale yesterday. Little bluebells are poking up already....and I bought a dozen winter aconites to get a colony started. |
Sounds nice Camps. I used to live in Cambridge. Close to Addenbrooke's hospital. Your garden must be gorgeous . The truth is once roses are in your blood. They just come to you :-). Hoping to try some campanulas in Texas to see if they will fry. Wish me luck! |

So far I have not purchased any bands......so far being the key word Just last week I had to drive to northern California and could have managed to stop by Burlington Roses. I was busy trying to remember my picks on my computer at home and throw together an order but ran out of time. Probably a good thing because I would have probably ruined the plants on the drive home I have a bunch of cuttings that I have hopes for. But I do have a few on my list. Safrano The rest of my list is on my computer at home I did get a bunch of fruit trees, now let's hope for rain! |

Cecile Brunner (shrub, I do not have space for her as a climber!) New Dawn (kind of nervous about her monstrosity but she is a beauty & I have a plan!) Eglantyne - I couldn't resist! Lady of Shalott Munstead Wood Barbra Streisand (hoping to get moonstone instead, we shall see if they can make that change for me) I can't wait, just a couple more weeks!! Next on my list are going to be purples (including mauves and lavenders) and yellows. I have mostly pinks and reds, I really need to break those up a bit...a lot really :) |

I did plant 3 cherry trees, Lapins, Minnie Royal and Royal Lee all on Colt rootstock. They are low chill and placed so they can spare the roses the worst of the heat of the day. A Spice-zee nectaplum, the little burgundy leaves are already popping open 2 Apriums, Cot-n-Candy and Flavor Delight 3 Pluots,Dapple Dandy, Flavor Grenade and Flavor King an Artic Star Nectarine and a Sundowner Apple With no real rain in the forecasts and a big garage project, I have decided to hold off on ordering bands until I have time to spend on them if we have to hand water at odd times. |

Rated 1 out of 5 by CheffyE from Look at them and they break We received 12 of these as a gift less than three months ago and are down to four. For some reason, the shape of them makes them incredibly breakable. If they even touch the bottle of my sink, they crack.

Rated 5 out of 5 by hostesswiththemostest from Must Have!! These are the best wine glasses out there! They look elegant and could stand up to the fanciest of dinner parties, but are less than $4 a glass! I have gotten them in white & red - if you buy them in a set of 8, you save even more $$! What I love most is that they are sold individually, so if one were to break, you can just go into the store and buy one. It has lifted the anxiety of having guests over because everyone has that one friend - the friend that drops their drink! No more having to worry about breaking one of a set. I am so happy to have found this brand.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Johnny O from Elegant and cost-efficient! My wife and I purchased (3) sets of these glasses for a family dinner we were hosting. Although we had several mismatched sets of glasses accumulated over the years, we wanted something that was simple, yet elegant, that would add that much needed continuity to our wine glass collection. We bought glasses for both red and white wines. Absolutely perfect for home entertaining! 3 or 4 bottles of wine later, inevitably something's going to get broken. I didn't mind at all, their only $3.95 each. Win-Win!

Rated 5 out of 5 by Sarah from Special glasses at an everyday price I feel like I'm using a special glass when I use these, but I paid an "everyday price." I bought eight of these several months ago and use them for everyday use and special occasions. I looked at all the options and loved the shape. I now also appreciate the way the lip feels when I drink from them and they way they feel in my hand.

Rated 2 out of 5 by mmd1983 from Very fragile I bought these because they were very affordable, and I love the unique shape. However, they seem to be very fragile because I broke one just by handwashing it and I only had it them for a few weeks. Looking at these other reviews, this is not an isolated incident.

"Sorry" to the Stolen Generation
In 2008, then Prime Minister Kevin Rudd issued a national apology to Australia's Aborigines, giving special attention to the "Stolen Generations," tens of thousands of children forcibly removed from their homes in an attempt to "dilute" the Aboriginal population until none were left.
"To the mothers and the fathers, the brothers and the sisters, for the breaking up of families and communities, we say sorry. And for the indignity and degradation thus inflicted on a proud people and a proud culture, we say sorry."

I only used this a few times but when I did, I didn't feel like it made any difference. Such a shame because I really wanted to like it. Also as I have Garnier's 3in1 cleanser and found that to be really good. I would have given it just one lippie but having seen so many good reviews of it on here, I feel like I may have missed something...
Admittedly it did make my skin feel refreshed, but probably no more than any ordinary cleanser...it does have a nice smell but other than that I'm not hooked on it. The fact that it's alcohol free would have been really nice if it did something that made it worth while using in the first place. Maybe if I give it another try...

I hate cliches and false promises from major corporation brands. But this is a really good product. I was looking for a decent makeup remover for a while and read the reviews on here... before using this I had problem skin, dry and oily in some parts, acne on my chin and forehead. However, since using this product my skin has COMPLETELY changed, I do still get the occasional zit but my skin is a lot clearer and less oily these days. This product does not sting or tingle and does not dry out skin, it has no alcohol but leaves the skin perfect for moisturiser to just sink in. Love this toner and will repurchase again and again. So cheap in the UK too, like £2 normally.

This is the first toner that I have ever used so faithfully. It is so gentle on my skin, and feels so refreshing and nourishing. It does not leave my skin dry at all, and it cleans away the dirt from my face that my cleanser can't. It improves skin tone and texture, and it doesn't aggravate or worsen acne. I love this toner, and I want everyone to try it.

I wouldn't by this product again but I gave it 3 lippies because I love the feeling of it on my skin! It really does feel refreshing. I can't say it has done much for my skin but I just like it. It's an okay toner, not too good but definitely not bad!

I've been using this toner for nearly two months, and I'm so impressed!
I've tried so many different toners in my life, ranging from drugstore to high end brands, and I can honestly say this toner is definitely one of the very best, if not to best. I have to admit I was a bit weary of trying it (my skin is combination, a bit oily in the t-zone, but my cheeks are pretty dry), as my skin is quite sensitive and tends to break out.
I have to say this toner did sting a little bit in the beginning (say, the first three days), but it's been ok since. It feels very refreshing and the smell is lovely, I will repurchase!

I have used this many bottles. I think it's the best toner. Cheap and does what it promises without drying or irritating the skin. I also put this in spray bottle and spray it over the face after cleansing or to refresh during the day. Love the smell. Garnier soft and gentle toners are also nice, but I like this best, mostly because of the smell.

I've been using this for 2 weeks now. (The bottle I have is the Garnier Fresh Grape water/vitamin B5 Toner) I'm not sure if its the same one as this, but I'm going to write what this has accomplished for my skin.
I'm not sure if its working for my skin on terms of acne, because I've been using a scrub + toner + moisturizer.. and still have a few pimples on my T-zone area. But I have noticed my skin appearing fresher/lighter because of the toner. It really did tone out my skin tone, I think. My skin appears less red than it did before. It also keeps my skin less dry/flakey.

Age: 44-55 Skin: Combination, Fair Hair: Red Eyes: Blue
I usually like to use an entire bottle, tube, or whatever of something before reviewing, but this stuff is so good I'm just going to review it after using 1/3 of the bottle. I was looking for a cheap-ish alcohol-free toner to replace my previous go-to cheapie: Simple's Kind to Skin. That's not a bad alcohol-free toner for the price but it's nothing special and not as soothing as they'd like to believe. (I also use more expensive toners from DHC, but like to have something cheaper available for getting the last bit of makeup after cleansing, or if I need extra applications/uses for whatever reason so I can stretch my DHC out.)
Anyway, based on the reviews here, I bought the Garnier, and instantly loved it. Very refreshing, soothing with a light scent that fades and no stickiness. Grabs the last bits of makeup and makes my face feel clean without stripping. No alcohol, no stinging or burning. The flip top bottle is easy to use -- I can open and close with one hand. This stuff is so nice I may put some in a spray bottle a la DDF's aloe toner and spray my face. Price is dirt cheap for a product this nice. Highly recommended.

Shumlin administration makes case against its own proposalBy Peter Hirschfeld
Vermont Press Bureau | February 07,2013The most damning argument yet against the Shumlin administration's plan to cap welfare benefits has come from, well, the Shumlin administration.
In his budget address last month, Gov. Peter Shumlin said "Reach Up" benefits, as they're called, should be "temporary," not "timeless." He said the state should cap lifetime benefits at five years, a move that would save the state an estimated $6 million in fiscal year 2014.
But as is being reported today by VTDigger's Alicia Freese and Seven Days' Paul Heintz, the administration took a hard look at an identical proposal in 2012, and pretty much condemned it.
As Freese noted, a January report signed off on by Commissioner of Children and Families Dave Yacavone – the same guy urging lawmakers to adopt the plan now – concluded that capping benefits at 60 months "could leave families destitute and at risk and will create a large hole in the fabric of Vermont's safety net for those most in need."
In a passage pulled by Heintz, the report says that "the families who would be affected by this cut have three times as many barriers to gaining self-sufficiency as the general Reach Up caseload population."
"They are families with limited abilities and resources to recover from such a loss. The elimination of their financial assistance may put their children at risk and force a cost shift to other programs."MORE IN This Just In(Editor's note: This is the first in a five-part series looking into the investigation of...

"The fee for this important service is nominal ($2.50 per ride), but it adds up quickly for those who are on a fixed income and must use it frequently," said Bryan Carlisle, TANK board chairman.To help address this challenge, TANK board members responded and provided personal gifts to launch the PROJECT RAMP Fund. Shortly after its creation, TANK employees also contributed to the fund and are continuing to do so by payroll deductions.
"PROJECT RAMP now provides financial assistance to registered RAMP users who find it difficult to pay for their transportation on RAMP," said Carlisle. "We are thrilled to give back to the community in this way, and we hope the community of Northern Kentucky sees the impact it can make for these individuals and contribute to the fund as well."In a special presentation at TANK offices earlier this month, seven RAMP riders received their official notification of extra financial assistance for RAMP services. Riders must qualify for RAMP under the Americans with Disabilities Act and demonstrate certain levels of economic disadvantage. The Foundation will administer the PROJECT RAMP fund, support the application process and accept additional support and donations. Heritage Bank also donated a special fee-free account to collect funds for PROJECT RAMP, ensuring that 100% of donations are applied to the PROJECT RAMP fund. "This entire process and these partnerships have shown how Northern Kentucky can come together and make a difference," said Cynthia Lawhorn Williams, CEO of the Community Foundation of Northern Kentucky, who officially presented the awards. "PROJECT RAMP means that we can make a difference by not letting transportation be a factor in hindering a quality of life," said Gina Douthat, director, communications and development for TANK. "Our RAMP riders often have multiple health conditions and may need many doctor visits, for example, and having to cut back on those visits can lessen their care. PROJECT RAMP can help bridge that gap and make it a non-issue."To learn more about PROJECT RAMP or to make a tax-deductible donation, go to the PROJECT RAMP website.

She acted as a dual agent when we were buying our house. She's honest, eager to help and very knowledgeable. I would not work with anybody else. She's easy to reach (email, phone or walk-in visits to her office), and always on time with proper response.

Patty George fully understood our requirement interms of the real estate, as well as the financial aspects. She continuousely presented candidate homes that met our requirements. After identifying several candidates, patty George worked with us to determine the best fit based on our requirements, as well as the near and long term expenses that we would incur. Once the home was identied she represented us extremely well. she kept us informed during all developments and.or changes. She worked with us and the inspector to identify critical items needing attention. She was very personable, trustworthy and professional. We recommend Patty George and her company very highly.
My husband and I along with our children have worked with Patty on several real estate transactions. We have complete trust in her abilities and knowledge of the process of buying and selling properties. She went over and above to help us and we appreciate her. We would definitely recommend her .

Patty is THE lake home expert. Had hopes to move to a lake house near Edinboro that never materialized but she was tireless in showing homes that met my requirements and in local knowledge and strategies to overcome any and all obstacles. She adds total value and an example of why real estate agents are still far from obsolete in this techno world.

I have created a layout with 2 plan viewports. I don't need a profile for this project, so I want the plan view to continue with two viewports per sheet. When I create the viewframes and then the sheets, I get the same viewframe showing in both viewports of each page. How can I control which viewframe shows in each sheet viewport?
Try this......it is a work-around but it should work.
Of course! Worked perfectly. Thank you!
