Hi all, i was wondering if you could give me a ball park estimate for the cost of staining windows and doors. Our contractor says he will do painting, but if we do staining, we have to pay a separate guy to do it. This is a big factor in determining whether we should do paint or stain. Love the look of real wood windows and doors, but not sure how much extra it will be. Thanks so much! |
Follow-Up Postings:
Well, I think the cost isn't so much in the appliction of the paint vs. stain, it is the fact that paint grade wood is significantantly less expensive that stainable wood. I have a TON of trim in my house, and let's just say I am very glad that I wanted painted trim because we would have been way over budget if all this had to have been stain grade! If your trim is already up and it can be stained, I'd do it if that is what you want. Surely it couldn't cost that much more to stain it...the labor isn't all that different. |
- Posted by michoumonster (My Page) on Thu, Sep 29, 11 at 23:18
hi nini, for the quotes i got, there was not much difference between the fir (better for staining), than for pine (better for painting) for my windows and doors. so it is just i need to pay someone else to do staining outside of my current GC. i don't know if staining takes more work, than painting? my gc is willing to do paint but not staining for some reason, i am guessing because it is more labor? anybody know? thank you!! |
Staining is costly. Staingrade casing $2.60/ lf Do the math. |
- Posted by millworkman (firstname.lastname@example.com) on Fri, Sep 30, 11 at 8:24
Again she is looking for an approximate cost to do the staining NOT PURCHASE MATERIALS. Come on people read the posts before you answer. I wish I knew what the cost to stain is so I could help you. I do know that it is more labor intensive due to the amount of prep, applying, wiping the stain and then sealing or polyurethaning the moulding and clean up which is more work than painting. |
- Posted by tinycastles (My Page) on Fri, Sep 30, 11 at 10:52
There will be regional differences in labor and all that jazz, but in my case I am in the Midwest. It cost me several thousand just to have my pine window interiors (I have traditional grilles in all windows...very time consuming to stain), 2 sets of french doors, 1 set of 8 ft. tall Knotty Alder barn-style doors, and 2 KA patio doors stained. This is NOT including the cherry trim, maple floor, KA interior doors, KA formal entry door, and KA "friend's entrance" door, which were also stained but by a different outfit. Can't remember exact cost of that...but I know it exceeded a couple thousand. I think its very safe to say that staining costs more (stain grade wood, especially 'fancy' woods, will run quite a bit higher than paint grade), and I would expect to budget at minimum several thousand dollars, depending on the number of doors, windows, etc. In our case, we do have lots of windows, 23 interior doors, yada yada so that needs to be factored in as well. |
- Posted by michoumonster (My Page) on Fri, Sep 30, 11 at 18:12
Thanks all for the input. did any of you who did stained consider buying factory stained? or is it still more cost-effective to do the staining after install? |
- Posted by allison0704 (My Page) on Sat, Oct 1, 11 at 14:18
fwiw, we have stained doors, windows and trim. The trim was stained before it was installed. We also distressed each piece - one by one. PITA, but well worth it to us. I don't recall prices, but wanted to let you know trim was stained before installing and did not require touching up after (for the most part). |
- Posted by tinycastles (My Page) on Sat, Oct 1, 11 at 22:29
My trim, flooring, doors were stained before install. I'm pretty sure that's normal procedure for stained trim. My windows were the only thing stained after install. I could have ordered the windows pre-stained, but it is a considerable upgrade and I wanted to have more control over the exact color to ensure it matched my trim, doors, etc. Trim will usually require minor touch ups as it is installed. The trim guys cover the tiny nole hails with that putty stuff, and touch up raw edges that have to be trimmed away to ensure perfect fit. |
- Posted by michoumonster (My Page) on Sun, Oct 2, 11 at 16:14
allison and tinycastles, thanks for your input. it sounds like getting pre stained is very workable with just a little touchup. i am thinking maybe to go factory staining on interior doors, but having a painter do the staining on the windows and patio doors to match since it is less wood that way and maybe will be the lower cost route. i have always thought factory stain would be better quality too, but not sure if it just marketing hype. would love to hear your thoughts! |
my contractor has painting interior doors built into the cost of the home, but staining them would be $40/door extra. He also built $110 into the bid of solid core doors (pre-hung), and I found stain grade mahogany doors for about $200 + whatever cost it was for pre-hanging (ETO doors). The stain grade vs solid core doors was the biggest price differential. Good luck! |
- Posted by michoumonster (My Page) on Mon, Oct 3, 11 at 17:01
juniork, wow, that is a great price for mahogany doors! i currently have a quote for about $450 per solid wood fir door pre hung, no finish. can you share info on your company, and are you happy with your doors? |
michou, it was ETO doors, and they're an internet company. We actally drove to LA to their office/warehouse, to make sure they were real, before buying 30+ doors from them! It's African mahogany, which is better than the meranti mahogany (which apparently isn't even really mahogany!), but it's not going to be furniture grade, by any means. It has more grain than my friend's cherry doors. If you're looking at a darker stain or you like grain, then I think it'll be fine. We're quite happy with it, but then, at one point, we were looking at knotty alder, which would have alot of grain AND knots. Good luck! |
- Posted by michoumonster (My Page) on Mon, Oct 3, 11 at 21:01
juniork, i think a grainy door would be fine for us since we are also considering knotty alder and dark stain. I filled out their online contact form and somebody already called me for a quote, so it is looking pretty promising on the customer service front. thanks and looking forward to seeing your finished house pics soon! |
When I built, my builder suggested I get the doors, baseboard and trim all prefinished at the factory, rather than trying to do it myself (I did the painting myself). I'm so glad I listened and got the prefinished. Love the solid 6 panel doors. The wood millwork place then sold me the same colored stain for me to use on the interior wooden window parts. I too love the look of real wood, and I didn't mind that it cost extra. Imho, it was well worth it. Sue |
- Posted by michoumonster (My Page) on Wed, Oct 5, 11 at 16:36
Sue, i am thinking of getting everything pre-stained from the factory too because I just got one quote from a local guy for staining which came in at $300 per door! that costs more than the door! I stained our front door myself 6 years ago, but now with twin toddlers, i don't think it is feasible... I am still searching to see if there is someone local who is more reasonably priced. |

'Cold Comes the Night' Review: Sometimes All You Need Is a Tight, No-Frills Thriller
Movie Reviews By Rob Hunter on January 10, 2014 | Be the First To CommentChloe (Alice Eve) is single mom who works the desk of a small town motel when she's not cleaning the rooms or taking care of her daughter. It's a drudgery only made worse by a visit from a Child Protective Services agent who tells Chloe the motel is not a suitable living arrangement for her little girl. She's given two weeks to fix the impossible situation, but before she can even dwell on her misery two men come looking to stay the night. One won't survive to morning, but the other, a partially blind immigrant named Topol (Bryan Cranston), discovers that the Jeep he arrived in has been taken into police custody along with the other man's body. He forcibly enlists Chloe's help in retrieving a certain something hidden inside the vehicle, but Billy (Logan Marshall-Green), a local and very dirty cop, complicates things by being a greedy bastard. Cold Comes the Night is a simple little thriller that delivers the goods with a very economical style. It succeeds in part because it doesn't extend its reach beyond the basics, but just as important are the trio of solid performances and some relatively sharp directing and writing by Tze Chun.
'Cold Comes the Night' Trailer: A Scarier Bryan Cranston for a Post-Breaking Bad World
Movie News By Samantha Wilson on July 26, 2013 | Be the First To CommentAugust means the end of Breaking Bad (shhh, no tears), but it's clearly only the beginning of great things for Bryan Cranston, who has really found his niche playing terrifying men. The trailer for the new thriller Cold Comes the Night has Cranston morphing into a menacing criminal with an impressive Russian accent, who's hellbent on stealing back a duffel bag of cash from the cop who took it. Here's the problem – even scary Russian thugs can be completely blind, so it's going to take a little extra work to get that money back, like maybe using poor, struggling motel owner Alice Eve as collateral?

Guys I had a great day. I bought a glock 19 a few days ago and today I found a dnr range 10 miles away that is free. I had not fired a handgun since Nam....the 19 is one sweet pistol. I was dead on even up to 40 yards. I ran through 60 rounds so fast....and I was thinking that my hand would get sore from recoil...duh dumb

Glad you enjoyed the new handgun. What made you decide to buy a Glock?
From C3Shooter: Skullcrusher, you are evil, sick, demented, twisted- and my hero!
I have small hands and the 19 seemed to fit me the best. It just felt "right" in my hands. I had be looking on the web and it just seemed like in every video they were shooting glocks
Another question: do some gun clubs have leagues...teams of shooters competing/ handicapped...like a weekly bowling league might do?
If you are happy with the feel, then good for you. To each their own. As far as leagues, that may be hit and miss. Check with your local ranges as they may have regular competitions. There are nationally sponsored shooting competitions. There are several shooters here that compete. There is a section dedicated for those things on this forum.http://www.firearmstalk.com/forums/f48/ Have fun.
Small hands, Glock, comfortable? I'm sorry, but two plus two does not equal five. Holding a Glock always reminded me of holding onto a cinder block. Sorry, I'm sorry. All that matters is that you are shooting and enjoying what you are shooting.
"It is not the critic who counts, nor the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who knows great enthusiasm, great devotion, and the triumph of achievement, and who, at worst, if he fails at least fails whilst daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those odd and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat. You've never lived until you've almost died. For those who have had to fight for it life has truly a flavour the protected shall never know."
I love my Glock 19. I also like the way it feels. Glad to hear you like it. I think you will find that most on this forum are glock haters though.
Nut up or Shut up!
The Glock 19 points more naturally than the Glock 17. Because it is shorter than a 17, it is easier to carry, draw and maneuver. Accuracy is close to that of the 17 but it does have a shorter sight radius. You made a good choice. Rentacop " All pistols should be Glocks and all Glocks should be Glock 19s. " -James Yeager- ( I doubt Yeager was completely serious, though. )
I had a Glock 19 and was very happy with it. I think it's an excellent pistol. I no longer have it, but my buddy does and he loves it and is deadly accurate with it. I went to 1911's, I prefer the feel and enjoy shooting them. Enjoy your model 19 and shoot the heck out of it.
Here is a detailed report on Glock. I also have a new Glock 19.Glock Safety Issues Raised Concerns I will try and query the Federal Courts for Civil litigation involving Glock and see what I find there.

Doris Kearns Goodwin on her bestselling books and the movie adaptation of 'Lincoln'
Spielberg has always wanted to make a movie about Lincoln. It predated my book or my involvement. It's been in his heart for a long time. I met [Spielberg], actually, in 1999.... And when he found out that I was doing a book on Lincoln – I was four years into the book at that time – he said, "Will you shake hands and I'll get the first look at it when you're done?" So, of course, I said yes. He decided [later] to acquire the rights, even though I was four years away from finishing.
Q: What is your relationship with Spielberg like?
He's so warm and accessible that you feel like you know him even after you've met him just one or two times.
Q: What was your involvement with the movie?
The first thing was I got to know and become great friends with [screenwriter] Tony Kushner. So I've seen the various scripts from the beginning, ranging from ones that were much longer, covering a much longer period of time, down to this final, really smart decision to focus on those last four months. As soon as Daniel Day-Lewis agreed to take the role of Lincoln, and even before he was announced, Spielberg asked if I would take him to Springfield [Ill.] because [Day-Lewis] wanted to go through Lincoln's house and his law office and see all the documents.... It [meant] so much to him. I can remember still when we went through Lincoln's house and a lot of the ceilings are low in it. But more importantly ... he remembered the carpet and the wallpaper were so busy that he felt claustrophobic and he couldn't wait to get out of the house. Which is how Lincoln felt. He was already absorbing it.
Q: What was it like on the set?

Infectious disease specialist Kent Sepkowitz authored this essay about doctors who believe in luck. He said that despite the endless evidence demonstrating its nonexistence, all doctors believe in luck because most of what happens to patients still falls well outside their understanding.
Psychiatry Service Chief William Breitbart discussed his study that found that talk therapy sessions focused on spirituality and finding meaning improved quality of life and well-being in terminally ill cancer patients. Dr. Breitbart said, "What's critical for cancer patients is for them to understand that even with advanced cancer, there is always the possibility for the experience of meaning, even in the last days of life."
New research suggests that "chemobrain," the name given to the mental fog and related memory problems that can occur during and after chemotherapy, may last for two decades after breast cancer treatment. Psychologist Tim Ahles said the new study is the first to illustrate that long-term breast cancer survivors still experience difficulty with their thought processes.
A new study led by epidemiologist Ann Zauber and gastroenterologist Sidney Winawer found that removing polyps by colonoscopy not only prevents colorectal cancer from developing, but also prevents deaths from the disease. Although many people have assumed that colonoscopy must save lives because it is so often recommended, strong evidence has been lacking until now.
Chemotherapy can dramatically affect a patient's appetite, tastes, and diet. Executive Chef Pnina Peled talked about a growing trend among hospitals to revamp their kitchens and offer more-personalized menu items for patients with a variety of nutritional needs. Food and Nutrition Services Director Veronica McLymont was also quoted.
Medical oncologist Jedd Wolchok spoke about a new initiative called the Cancer Immunotherapy Trials Network (CITN). Dr. Wolchok is one of 27 researchers chosen from the nation's top cancer centers and universities to lead clinical trials to spur the development of cancer treatments that work by revving up the immune system's response to tumors.
Deputy Physician-in-Chief for Breast Cancer Programs Larry Norton was interviewed about prevention and treatment innovations for breast cancer patients. He said, "There are a lot of very exciting things that are moving forward, and it's all based on a new understanding of the biology of cancer."
Gastrointestinal Oncology Acting Chief Leonard Saltz spoke about a counterfeit version of Avastin found in the United States. Counterfeiting has historically been more of a problem outside the US, and experts say counterfeits are a relatively small but still serious problem for the nation's drug supply. Avastin is a commonly used drug for patients with colon, lung, and other cancers.
The inherited genetic mutations that can lead to Lynch syndrome may put people at extra risk for breast and pancreatic cancer, in addition to their well-known ties to colon and endometrial cancers, a new report found. Pathologist Jinru Shia was quoted.
Memorial Sloan Kettering patient Jennifer Goodman Linn co-founded Cycle for Survival, an indoor cycling event that started as a single-gym fundraiser with a five-figure goal but has now raised more than $14 million for cancer research. Her oncologist, Gary Schwartz, was quoted.
8H9, a promising new treatment that targets neuroblastoma cells, is helping two-year-old Lilly MacGlashan beat cancer. Lilly's pediatric oncologist, Kim Kramer, said, "We have made great progress and have treated plenty of children who have beaten this and gone on to live good lives without the cancer coming back anywhere in their bodies."
Christopher Sarro, whose daughter was diagnosed with leukemia last year, is participating in this year's Cycle for Survival to raise funds for cancer research at Memorial Sloan Kettering. The indoor cycling event, co-founded in 2007 by Jennifer Goodman Linn, who lost her battle with cancer last year, is Memorial Sloan Kettering's most successful patient-run fundraiser to date. Ms. Linn's oncologist, Gary Schwartz, was quoted.
Memorial Sloan Kettering patient John O'Mara and his oncologist, Daniel Danila, spoke about the investigational oral drug MDV3100, which is improving outcomes in patients with advanced prostate cancer. Mr. O'Mara, a clinical trial subject who is receiving the drug, said, "I do look at the future, even though I'm quite an old man, with a great deal more confidence."
The investigational oral drug MDV3100 significantly improved overall survival in patients with advanced prostate cancer, according to results presented by lead investigator Howard Scher at a recent medical meeting. Lab work conducted by Charles Sawyers and colleagues was instrumental in the development of this novel therapy.
Breast Surgical Chief Monica Morrow said that a new study might help push professional groups to develop guidelines for lumpectomy surgery, the most common operation to treat breast cancer. According to the study, nearly half of women who had lumpectomies for breast cancer had second operations they may not have needed.
Infectious disease specialist Kent Sepkowitz authored this opinion on cancer screening tests. Enthusiasm for routine mammography and PSA screening has waned recently, as the US Preventive Services Task Force has changed its recommendations for such screening measures. "Perhaps what is lacking," Dr. Sepkowitz said, "is a respect for the calm pace required for true innovation."
Gynecologic oncologist Mario Leitao argued that doctors shouldn't give up on robots despite a new study that found similar complication rates among women treated for endometrial cancer with robotic surgery versus traditional laparoscopy.
Memorial Sloan Kettering patient Jennifer Goodman Linn co-founded Cycle for Survival, an annual cycling event to raise awareness for rare cancers. Katie Kotkins, who heads the initiative, said that more than $12 million has been raised since the organization's inception.
When asked which profession they think is the most honest and ethical, Americans rank nursing No. 1. Nurses consistently have topped Gallup's annual poll since the profession was first included in 1999. Ann Culkin, a nurse on the Thoracic Oncology Service, weighed in on why she believes nursing is so trusted by Americans.
Epidemiologist Stephen Dusza led a study that found that most children do not regularly use sunscreen. Dr. Dusza and his team of investigators surveyed 360 fifth graders over three years and found that half of the children who routinely used sunscreen at the beginning of the study no longer did so three years later.

Which Robotics Kit Should I Use? VEX Edition
Now more than ever, robotics educators are faced with the important question of which kit they should purchase and use. This key question has been made even more intricate in the 2013-2014 school year due to the addition of the new robotics kits, VEX IQ kits. This article will help break down each VEX kit, their capabilities and target audiences, and allow you, the educator, to make an informed decision on which kit is best for your particular classroom.
The VEX IQ system is the brand-new robotics system from Innovation First International (IFI for short, makers of the VEX Robotics Design System). The VEX IQ can be used with any of the all-new hardware and sensors, including a unique plastic snap-fit structural system.
- Sensors include a gyroscope, color sensor, potentiometer, touch LED, and ultrasonic sensor.
- The base kits (either Sensor or Controller kits) are provided with over 650 structural components, 4 plug-and-play 'smart motors', at least 2 touch sensors (or more, depending on kit), and the VEX IQ microcontroller (more information on all available kits can be found here).
- The IQ contains 12 smart ports that can be used to control either analog sensors, digital sensors, or servos/motors; the ports are non-typed and can be used to control any piece of VEX IQ compatible hardware that is plugged into it.
- It also includes a micro-USB port for IQ-to-computer communication and a 'tether' port for direct connections to an VEX IQ Controller.
- Debugging and programming information can be displayed on the backlit LCD information to increase ease-of-use in real time.
- Wireless communication between the VEX IQ microcontroller and a VEX IQ controller is provided via a set of 900 MHz radio adapters.
- The VEX IQ system will be fully legal in the new VEX IQ Challenge (designed specifically for the VEX IQ system), for students ages 8-14.
- Recommended use: Middle School.
One of the mainstays of the educational robotics world is the VEX Cortex platform. Originally released in 2010 by IFI, the Cortex can be used with the VEX Robotics Design System's hardware and sensors.
- Includes over 300 metal structural parts, 4 powerful DC motors, the VEX Cortex microcontroller, and a wide variety of fasteners, gears, and other miscellaneous hardware.
- Sensors include touch sensors, an ultrasonic sensor, integrated motor encoders, line following sensors, and a potentiometer; additional sensors are available outside of the base kits.
- Wireless communication between a VEX Cortex and a VEXNet Joystick Controller is possible by using the 802.11b/g VEXNet USB Adapter Keys.
- The VEX Cortex system can be used in the VEX Robotics Challenge (Middle, High School, and College divisions).
- Recommended use: advanced Middle School, High School or College.
We understand that choosing a robotics kit is a tough decision. The number one factor in determining which kit is right for you is the students; depending on the skill level of the students, it may be better to challenge them with a more advanced kit (VEX Cortex) or they may prefer to learn with a beginner kit to get them started (VEX IQ.) No matter which kit you decide to use, though, you can rest easy knowing ROBOTC will fully support all of these platforms.
Which Robotics Kit Should I Use? LEGO Edition
Now more than ever, robotics educators are faced with the important question of which kit they should purchase and use. This key question has been made even more intricate in the 2013-2014 school year due to the addition of the new robotics kit, LEGO MINDSTORMS EV3. This article will help break down LEGO's kits, their capabilities and target audiences, and allow you, the educator, to make an informed decision on which kit is best for your particular classroom.
The LEGO MINDSTORMS EV3 is the all-new robotics kit from LEGO Education (creators of the LEGO MINDSTORMS NXT system). It is fully compatible with previous NXT hardware (except for the battery), including all plastic structural pieces and sensors.
- Compatibility with the MATRIX and TETRIX metal systems is expected in fall 2014.
- Those starting a classroom from scratch need not worry; the EV3 comes with a total of 541 elements, including a multitude of structural parts (beams, connectors, wheels, gears, etc), 4 different sensor types (color sensor, gyroscopic sensor, ultrasonic sensor, and touch sensor), 3 motors, and the EV3 micocontroller or 'brain'.
- The EV3 microcontroller sports 4 sensor ports, 4 motor ports, a internal Bluetooth adapter, and a USB slot which can be used with a WiFi adapter for wireless connectivity (as well as microSDHC card slot which supports cards up to 32GB in size).
- It utilizes a Linux-based firmware which allows for on-brick programming and datalogging.
- The EV3 is already legal in First Lego League (ages 9-14), but we are still waiting on information on when it will be legal for First Tech Challenge (High School) competitions.
- Recommended use: Middle School (EV3) or High School (with MATRIX or TETRIX kit).
Now, let's take a look at the LEGO MINDSTORMS NXT V2.0. Released in 2009, the NXT platform utilizes a plastic snap-fit hardware structure system, with 431 elements included in the base kit.
- These elements consist of both structural pieces (beams, connectors, and axles, to name a few), three interactive servo motors, the NXT microcontroller, and ultrasonic, light, sound, and two touch sensors included.
- There are also many third-party sensors available from sites such as Hitechnic, Dexter Industries, and Mindsensors.
- The NXT is also fully compatible with the MATRIX and TETRIX metal systems.
- Wireless capabilities include built-in Bluetooth and WiFi connectivity (provided by an external Samantha Module adapter).
- The NXT is currently a legal microcontroller for both the First Lego League (FLL, ages 9-14) and First Tech Challenge (High School) challenges.
- Recommended use: Middle School or High School (with MATRIX or TETRIX metal kit).
We understand that choosing a robotics kit is a tough decision. The number one factor in determining which kit is right for you will come down to the students; depending on the skill level of the students, it may be better to challenge them with a more advanced kit (MATRIX or TETRIX kits) or they made need to start with a simpler kit (LEGO NXT or EV3 kits). No matter which kit you decide to use, though, you can rest easy knowing ROBOTC will fully support all of these platforms.

I've read that it is hardy to Z3 and even Z2. Even the Italian Prune Plum is only hardy to Z4. Has anyone ever grown Pembina? Marg |
Follow-Up Postings:

I have a Pembina plum. My next door neighbour was supposed to buy another plum to pollinate it but she moved away before doing that. So...this plum does produce a few every year but nowhere near as much if there was an actual pollinator close by. No issues about hardiness but you have to have another plum that blooms around the same time. The plums have a wonderful flavour, and are very sweet, but the skins are tough...I never eat the skins. |
Wow, those look amazing! The article I read said that they were self fertile, guess not. Good to know I'll need 2 of them or can I use an Italian Prune Plum to do the job, I can get both here. Now I will be getting some for sure. I did read the thread Konrad started about plums. Very informative. Makes me think I'll have to learn about grafting. Marg |
For pollination you need another plum that flowers at the same time as Pembina. Note that using a second Pembina plum will not work, it has to be a different variety of plum. They usually group plums into early, mid, and late-blooming plums, I forget which one Pembina is, I think it's late. I don't know if a European plum will work, or whether it has to be an American or Japanese plum or hybrid, Konrad can probably help you there. If you have a neighbour with a plum tree that blooms at the same time you won't need a second tree yourself. |

I had a Pembina at my old house that my grandpa had planted in the 60s. He was always grafting things and I think it had a pollinator grafted on. Some years it produced so heavily that it ripped branches off. It eventually got old and died and I had to cut it down. I am sketchy on this but it might have also been pollinated by the Nanking cherries in the yard. I concur about the flavour, the fruit was very sweet and juicy inside and the skins were best thrown out. |

I'd grow the Italian in your zone, some people have it in the city but some years they suffer badly. I'm focusing more towards Euro plums, they have big advantages,..about 10 day's later going into blooming, [less frost kill] and these stay firm when ripe, better for processing, drying etc. most are free stone and self fruitful. Think I have a Pembina also, the tree had such a tag but I have dried some,..if you like sour candy, times 2, then you might like it. Right now I eat Green Gage, one's you have these you don't want to touch others no more, lol...I know, I'm spoiled. Yes, you need a pollinator on the Pembina, I got so many plums that I don't know which one does it. |
I remember looking a couple years ago for a pollinator for my pembina plum and ended up buying a toka plum last year for pollination. This year my pembina died back almost to the ground I may end up trying my hand at grafting it onto the toka. I will let it be this winter and see what happens in the spring. Oops! I lied it is a pipestone that died not a pembina I just checked. |
This post was edited by CLBlakey on Sat, Aug 31, 13 at 16:11
I don't know what to tell you other than hope for weather that allows pollination. Our springs the last 3 or so years have been late and full of wind and rain. I haven't had much fruit set these last few years between my Pembina and Toka. Every spring when the flowers set the winds pick up and it usually rains during pollination time. I had no plums whatsoever on the Pembina, but I had two plums on the Toka. |
Hey Colin where did you get that toka plum tree I've not been able to find one in last few years. |

Marg, Italian plum is a blue prune plum,..I had Stanley and fruited good for some years but lost it. Mt. Royal is another Euro plum and grown allot in Canada for zone 3 and up. [hardiest] It's a nice plum, the only drawback on Mt. Royal is that they're not freestone. This Green Gage from today...around 2 inches in diameter. |
- Posted by Donna.in.Sask 2b (My Page) on Sat, Aug 31, 13 at 22:49
Konrad, That's an amazing bounty of plums! How do you keep them blemish-free? I noticed a few of my Pembina's had scaring on the skins. Any way to prevent it? It's not a big deal since I don't eat the skins, but it does look unsightly. |
- Posted by konrad___far_north 3..just outside of E (My Page) on Sat, Aug 31, 13 at 23:04
Usually they look like this,...unless we had lots of hail, what blemish/scaring do they have, splitting? |
The area I'm in is open and very windy in the fall/winter. We've already lost a lot of crabapples and a few maples . Trees have trouble growing around here so I need something that is very hardy, that's why I wondered about the Pembina. I did find Mt. Royal here and plan to get it. I'll also try to find Greengage. We do have 2 pears that have so far survived the winter, one produced loads of fruit this year. The other one seems to be a later variety, smaller fruit. We'd like to add a few more fruit trees tho. Marg |
Hello Matt, A couple of things about the Toka, it will be the last tree to put leaves on in the spring and the last tree to loose them in the fall. Ours has extra vigourous growth. As in 2-2.5ft of vertical growth a year. I trim it extensively in the spring. The leaves are not attractive to caterpillars like the Pembina. The Toka is susceptible to cobwebs. These are the same cobwebs you see on crab apple trees. The mites suck all the life out of the branch so you have to stay on top of it. However, combined with the vigourous growth it doesn't usually show that badly on the tree. To answer your question, many nurseries carry the Toka variety in Saskatchewan. It all depends on how far you want to drive. These trees are at least 4ft tall or more so you will require a truck to haul them around properly. I thought about longer commutes for plants but then I thought about the logistics like having a long box truck with topper so you could ferry them home while limiting wind damage. And when I get the space, I'll then make the investment. I enjoy tree hunting. It is like treasure hunting! |

I love tree hunting too. I found a couple pretty rare variety for Alberta. Last year scored big and got two real good sized Italian plums This year grabbed a shiro plum , it's the most amazing looking tree it's hard to tell them apart from apricots and taste amazing ,produce vigorous crops and don't get big. Here's a photo I took off google of the shiro plum. These picked ripe had no tart to the skin and sweet like candy. |
Has anyone ever heard of the Vision plum? I bought 2 of them (they were on sale at a good price). I was told they were a European variety but they could find no picture of it. I haven't been able to find any information on the Vision. I also bought 2 early golden plums. It's a start. Marg |
- Posted by konrad___far_north 3..just outside of E (My Page) on Sun, Sep 8, 13 at 0:47
Vision, Euro plum, from a website.. this late-maturing plum is a large, oblong-shaped, dark blue freestone fruit of excellent quality. It ripens about October 1 at Vineland. Since it's a later maturing plum it might not ripen out for you some years. Shiro, Japanese plum, from a website.. I try to stay away from Japanese plums, [poor processing quality] especially when clingstone. |
All the shiro I picked this year were pure yellow and best plum I've tasted . It's a variety from the 1800s one of the oldest plums around and many varieties have been created with it. Techumesh is a shiro cross I've never tasted techumesh but grafted a bunch of buds this year to my brookred. Anybody on here taste techumesh? |

Hardy Japanese plums link below. Been doing some dehydrating.. |
Here is a link that might be useful: HYBRID (PRAIRIE HARDY) PLUMS
We have Pembina plums growing here in Manitoba, yet to get any fruit , sheep seem to know when they are ripe, have to get a better fence. Does anyone have any luck with old fashioned Greengages or with Damsons in Manitoba or similar? Fruit we get in stores here is abysmal and they jokingly call it fresh, even after sitting in a truck for a week . We have some small (one inch) yellow/reddish wild? plums that did really well this past summer, resulting in about 20 pounds of jam. |

Despite reports — and a conspicuous ring — insiders say Berry isn't getting hitched to her French lover.
She may be sporting a bold ring, but Halle Berry is playing coy with recent news of her engagement. Not only has she not confirmed the good news — which the media started reporting on after spotting a noticeable amount of bling on her finger — now, sources close to the star claim, she's not engaged at all.
TMZ cites "close friends and insiders" who claim that, despite appearances, the ring was only a gift from Berry's boyfriend of more than one year, French actor Olivier Martinez.
Even though they're supposedly not getting hitched, the source clarifies that Halle and Olivier are in a "committed relationship" and marriage "could be in the cards," but as of last week — when the photo came out — they were not engaged.
To confuse matters further, Martinez's ex, Kylie Minogue, has already congratulated the happy couple. "Congrats to Olivier Martinez and Halle Berry!! #wedding," the Australian pop star tweeted.
Further, a rep for the jewelry designer Gurhan, who made the diamond-and-emerald ring, tells People that the bauble is of the engagement kind.
So, is she or isn't she? Guess we'll have to wait for our wedding invite to know for sure.

There are discrepancies, and there is seven million vs. twenty-three million. But the Australian, though, accepts only one set of numbers, the one provided by the company itself, its owner, not the ones provided by a third party. Frankly, we'd even expect better from the Sunday Tasmanian.
None of this, of course, even comes near the larger point that The Wall Street Journal has taken a pretty dramatic turn toward the pedestrian in the year and a half Murdoch has owned the joint. He and Thomson are hollowing out the paper, making it less of the essential read it's been for decades.
At least, we can safely say, it's doing better than The Australian.

Plant Delights Nursery is a great company. They are in (North? South?) Carolina, zone 7, so if it grows for them, there's a very good chance it will grow for us. Their entire catalog is online. Their prices are somewhat high, but they carry alot of plants you can't get anywhere else. Their plants are great and their service is excellent. I also really like ForestFarm (absolutely huge selection), Lazyssfarm (web only: great selection as reasonable prices as I have found), GreerGardens (big selection, big plants, reasonable prices). I second the motion for Brent and Becky's Bulbs. I also use McClure and Zimmerman and YuccaDu alot. For seeds, I like DianeSeeds, which is an internet company. She gives alot of seed for the price and her instructions are excellent. GardenMakers, also on the net, carries very unusual seeds, also with good directions. I also like and use Nichols Seeds (GREAT vegetable selection and prices, plus unusual annual flowers), Park Seeds, and Burpee. I'm glad to see some activity on this forum! I haven't checked in for a long time, and had almost forgotten about it. (Bored on the FIFTH rainy day from Fay in a row. Seven inches of rain and counting...not that I'm complaining.:) |

Review: Create and edit PDFs without the acrobatics with deskPDF Studio X
Try a full-featured PDF solution that costs much less than the big boxes.
Billed as "the ultimate paperless solution," Docudesk's deskPDF Studio X is aimed squarely at Adobe Acrobat. Studio X can create PDFs from any application, edit the text and images in any PDF, and convert PDFs to Word, Excel, HTML, and other document types. It can sign, stamp, and add freehand and freetext markup as well as letterheads, watermarks, and other custom touches to your documents. Features like PDFzen integration allows one-click Cloud storage and easy publishing and sharing of documents online via social media, e-mail, and fax, while 256-bit encryption, digital IDs, and other strong security measures keep you and your data safe. Studio X is free to try for 10 days and retails for a nickel less than $60 -- much less than a new copy of Acrobat. Studio X v5.0 works in Windows XP to 8 and features a newly-redesigned interface among other additions and improvements.
Installing deskPDF Studio X involves several options, including making it your default PDF viewer and installing deskPDF MSOffice Integration. The program's redesigned user interface resembles the look of the latest Office apps, including an attractive take on Office's Ribbon toolbar. This efficient arrangement opens a full-length toolbar of specialized tools and options whenever you click one of Studio X's 11 tabs (including the Help menu and Activate Trial button). Studio X also follows Office's lead with File and Home tabs for opening and editing documents. Studio X handled every task with ease in our tests, though we really only scratched the surface of this powerful toolkit's capabilities. Some notables: The Compact PDF tool lets you shrink documents to optimal size with wizard-like efficiency, OCR scanning is easy, and PDFzen really does upload documents with a single click.
We've used Acrobat as well as every kind of PDF freeware, and deskPDF Studio X impressed us with two facts: 1) While free tools can do a lot, there's no substitute for a competent, full-featured PDF solution; and 2) Software that meets these criteria doesn't have to be expensive. While Studio X probably can't replace Acrobat in every situation or environment, it belongs on top of the short list of affordable alternatives.
Editors' note: This is a review of the trial version of deskPDF Studio X 5.0.

I'm gonna start off by saying that out of a nasty habit, I pick the skin off of my chapped lips- I know, absolutely disgusting. But this lip balm repairs them SOOO well it's amazing!! It adds PLENTY of moisture that actually seeps into the skin, it doesn't just sit on top of your lips. I just bought my 4th tube of this baby, and I'm never going back. Living in Canada, this lip balm is around $7, and although it is pretty expensive for a lip balm, it is well worth the price. It is my complete HG lip balm
If you have dry, chapped or cracked lips, then go out and buy this right now!!! It will change your lips for the better :D

I've only found one other product that works for my lips when they become chapped. I purchased this after it was recommended by a make up consultant. It applies smoothly, doesn't build up and alleviates my dryness and chapped skin.

I bought it online for £4. It is the best I have ever used. It makes the lips very soft, and the effect last really long time, the texture is so nice to apply, so I applies it very often as I like the feeling.
I also use it a bit under my eyes, on the nearly-invisable dry lines, (I only see it when I am 5cm near the miror.) But I think it will keep hydrating this area as it's not oily, but keep my eye gel working better.

I just bought this because the cosmeticians that I work with suggested that it was a really good investment. It's priced at $7.50 CAD, but I get a discount so I got it for $5. So, I bought it at the beginning of my shift and I did not have to reapply even after I had put on my benefit lipstick and l'oreal lip gloss. My lips stayed moisturized for the whole day even after I ate dinner. Amazing.
I've tried many lipalms (Carmex, EOS [this lipbalm is also a lifesaver] and chapstick), but none work as well or are as moisturizing and long-lasting as Roc's.
However, I have a tendency to overly reapply lipbalms; it's become a horrid habit. But I'm hoping with Enydrial, that will all change. DEFINITELY buying again (especially with my discount - I'll probably buy 3 more.)

Love this lip balm... I have the driest skin and lips and this stuff is amazing. I've really tried everything, and this is the best. I recommend the facial moisturizer too for those with extra dry skin... keep a look out for the packages which offer a lip balm as a bonus. Two for one!!!

This lip balm makes the lips butter soft. It really is so smooth and very easy to wear.
The most healing thing I ever put on my lips was L'occitane 100% pure shea butter. I had to stop using it as it was in a tin pot and I did not really find it fun to use my fingers each time to get some product out. This is way easier to carry and wear. I have bought one for my husband too. He likes it and uses it every day. I will definitely buy it again when we run out.

88-Keys - The Death of Adam
Production: 88-Keys
Lead Single: Stay Up! (Viagra)
Avg Rating: 3.8 ( 4 votes )
We've all been there. You wake up horny and decided you're going to do something about your...
DJBooth Album Review
Actually that's only a typical story for one man, and his name is 88 Keys. Keys is a member of that select group of hip-hop producers you know by beat, but not my name. Or I should say was a member. Keys has produced tracks for everyone from Mos Def to Macy Gray, but is getting his hands on a mic instead of only a sound board with his debut album The Death Of Adam. While some (dumb) writers will call Adam a concept album, it'd be more accurate to call it a narrative album, a collection of tracks that tell the tragic story of a man killed by that most deadly force - women. Although Keys often struggles to find his own voice, often electing instead to mimic his mentor Kanye, Adam is ultimately an impressively creative work that puts Keys squarely on the "one to watch out for" list.
If Adam were a movie, and it's certainly sonically cinematic, it'd be a dark comedy; like a cross between Knocked Up, 8 Mile and the Kardashian sex tape. Adam's opening scene is the joyfully obscene Morning Wood, a track that somehow is simultaneously a meditation on erections and the theme song to a 70's sitcom. More than just funny, it's a sign that Keys isn't afraid to say anything, and use any musical style to say it. In that same musical lineage is Stay Up (notice a common theme?). Here Keys' production prowess is on full display, expertly blending muted harmonies, soul samples and jazz horns into a cohesive whole. Most notably Stay Up's lyrics come courtesy of Kanye West, who drops his usual assortment of rewind-worthy lines like "try imagin, somethin passionate, between you, Cassie and Kim Kardashian." Keys makes only minor vocal appearances on Stay Up, but a great beat and an auto-tune free Kanye is always a recipe for success. From the soulful Close Call featuring Little Brother to the hilariously upbeat The Burning Bush with the always insane Redman, you won't hear anything like The Death of Adam, and I don't get to write that often.
The Death of Adam's strengths are also its weaknesses. Kanye executive produced the album, and while it's never a bad idea to solicit West's golden touch, it's hard to figure out where Kanye ends and 88 Keys begins. Take Round 2, an everyman joint that feels the pain of every man who has ever had to perform again, and again, and again. Round 2's production is built around high-pitched vocal samples, soaring string arrangements and slowly banging production, all hallmarks of a Kanye track. Vocally, Keys adopts almost the exact same cadence West uses on Spaceship (listen to the two back to back and tell me I'm wrong). It's a similar story on Nice Guys Finish Last, a cut that finds Keys alternating between his gentlemen persona and true intentions with lines like "Go the extra mile, open the door for her, that's extra points all on your score board." It's funny, clever, and unavoidably reminiscent of a Kanye line.
That's not to say that Adam is a rip-off Kanye album, far from it. Keys is simply still a relative newcomer to the rhyme game, and like all freshman it's going to take some time for him to solidify a distinct rhyme style. In fact, Keys employs musical influences Kanye never would, starting with the The Friends Zone, a hypnotic track run by indie-rock band Shitake Monkey. On the same note Dirty Peaches is a r&b oriented slow jam with gripping vocals from J Davey, and M.I.L.F. has Bilal taking some unexpectedly comedic turns. Ultimately, The Death Of Adam is the work of a talented artist just beginning to understand the limits of his capabilities. So who killed Adam? Hopefully we'll find out the answer from 88 Keys soon.

The AIDS Infographic, a collaboration between GOOD and Column Five Media, surveys the progress that has occurred on the fight to eradicate AIDS. One of the most compelling points that the infographic gets across is that Sub-Saharan Africa accounts for the most cases, with 22.5 million diagnosed with the disease in 2009.
What I particularly like about the AIDS Infographic is that the information is cluttered and is easy to decipher, with the salient points having an eye-catching quality. Check out the AIDS Infographic for yourself to see the progress that has been made.

Wet footsteps! I'm stomping my bare feet in a pool of water on a plastic/rubber showermat in my shower. Recorded with Edirol R-1 & Sennheiser ME66.
Many thanks. I like them and i'm going to speed them up into a run!
slowed down and deepened it might work. well, I'm gonna try it anyway :)
you're right chris, and the early reflections are unrealistic too, so it's not really good for outside scenes
why the hell in both of these do you stomp or walk around so quickly? No one does that... with wet feet you walk slowly usually and there is more of a dragging...
