A 95 year old neighbour has the most beautiful rose, which was planted before she married over 60 years ago. It does repeat, is a true soft pink, and if memory serves me with a sort of semi-hybrid-tea form as its opening, and has a pleasant but not overwhelming scent. It withstands this maritime climate and is on its own roots. Hoping to get some suggestions. So far no websites nor pictures are much help. It would have been sold in Nova Scotia or New England perhaps, early in the 20th century. Its gorgeous, and if I knew its name it might still be available from someone. She hasn't offered that I can remove the smaller side bush its produced, and I have never had success with taking cuttings. Any help will be very appreciated. |

Blackgavotte - if you post a picture of it on here, you will get a lot of help identifying it. Once you get some possible names, you can look them up on Help Me Find/Roses, which gives details and has pictures of many many old roses. Off the top of my head, I would look up 'La France' for starters in your search. Jackie |

yes I've already looked up La France, it looks much like that... but not sure yet. Will post pictures when it blooms, I was just hoping someone might have some ideas for me to start with. Am researching antique roses as I go along now. |
- Posted by jacqueline3 9CA (My Page) on Sat, Feb 22, 14 at 11:56
Great - when you post pictures of the flowers, make sure to also post a picture of the entire bush, the hips if you can find any, and close ups of the leaves and prickles. Jackie |
I wonder if a local historical society might have or know how to find nursery catalogues from the early 1950s for your area? It might help to know what was being sold at that time. Do you know where she bought the rose? The nursery could still be in business, and if it is, someone there might have lists of what was sold back then. |

I contacted, in a round about way, the Victorian Gardens people in Halifax. After several emails and plenty of kindly suggestions, I've reserved a book at the library, inter-library loan, called " The Heritage Garden", written by Jo Anne Gardner, in Cape Breton ! Hoping that will be some help too. If the book is helpful and interesting, I can still find it on Amazon... Yes, if I post pictures later, I will get the whole bush too. Its tough getting information on these old timers for sure, but interesting also.. Thanks, all. Will let you know what I come up with. |

I don't know how to get more than one picture uploaded, but will post the 3 I have. Just took them last weekend, and my entry level camera is not wonderful but lets see if anyone can help. There is a slight fragrance. |

and here is pic # 3, showing the bush itself. It must not be a climber or rambler, surely at its great age it would be larger than this ? My neighbour thinks there is a second flush or bloom, but she is not sure. At her age of course her memory may not be exact. |
Lovely rose you're trying to name! You might search at the link below. Click the pointer next to the "year" box for a dropdown menu of each year. |

The leaves and prickles look a lot like my New Dawn, which was introduced in 1930 I think, so the timeline would be about right. But New Dawn here is a big old climber - that bush looks way too small to be a 60+ year old specimen, unless it dies back to the ground every year. |
The bloom appears like 'Mme. Caroline Testout' but the foliage does not. See photos at helpmefind.com/roses under Search. Luxrosa |
Could it be 'Queen Elizabeth'? 1954 introduction, so we're right at 60 years with that one, but the foliage looks similar to me... I believe that she's fairly cold-hardy, but someone else might be better able to comment? Good luck, ETA: Probably not 'QE' if that rose has thorns, and it looks like it does... the HMF description says 'QE' is "thornless, or almost". The timing was a bit dicey anyway. |

Here is a handy link of old Canadian seed catalogues. I noticed that the Anapolis Royal Nurseries catalogue had some Hybrid Teas, etc. Some of the other nurseries might be of interest, even if not in NS? |

Definitely not Madame Caroline Testout. The leaves are wrong, and so is the bloom - wrong form, and not double enough. MCT has large globular very double blooms. Pic below. Sorry not to be more helpful - there are so many old pink roses of this color that it is difficult to identify them, but those small almost round dark green shiny leaves will hopefully spark recognition in someone;;; Jackie |

That looks very much like 'Betty', a rose I used to have. It was a Hybrid Tea from 1905 or 1906. The form of the bloom looks right, although 'Betty' had yellow stamens that gave a golden glow to the rose center when fully open. Perhaps such a center is there,but not visible due to the angle of the camera, but I have another problem in that I don't remember 'Betty' having such glossy leaves, or such sturdy-looking ones. However, my rose was only a few years old when I had to give it away, so some of that may be due to the great age difference. I got my rose from Vintage Gardens in California, which is no longer in business, but I think that there are photos of 'Betty' on the website called HelpMeFind: that's http://www.helpmefind.com/roses. Click on the button for "Search Plant" in the choices in the left-hand sidebar. On the page that comes up, just enter the name Betty in the search field. I kind of doubt that your rose is the same one, as mine looked more like its Tea Rose parent, but at least HelpMeFind would give you a few pictures to look at in comparison. |

The world's oldest advertising agency, and 4th largest in terms of billing, JWT impressed the jurors in several categories, and was the only agency with multiple awards coming from different regional offices – its Riyadh, Beirut, Bahrain and Dubai offices all contributed to the agency's impressive showing, leading all other agencies in the region in number of awards.
"It feels great to win," said Roy Haddad, CEO MENA, JWT.
"Having emerged as the top winning agency underscores the creative and strategic depth of the organization across all marketing disciplines throughout the Middle East."
In winning medals in highly competitive categories such as TV Campaign of the Year, Print Campaign of the Year, Outdoor Campaign of the Year, and Integrated Campaign of the Year, JWT asserted its dominance of the awards and firmly established its reputation for developing high-impact and world-class creative work across its regional network.
In selecting the winners in these categories, the jurors looked primarily for advertising creativity, originality in execution and planning, as well as effectiveness of the campaign.
JWT's Dubai office was the jurors' unanimous choice in the Outdoor campaign category, winning the gold medal for its work on The One TV. The panel of judges was impressed with the creativity and originality of the artwork, as well as with the impact it had on delivering the desired exposure and top-of-mind awareness for the client.
The agency also received two silver medals for a television campaign produced for Domino's Pizza by its Riyadh office, as well as for an integrated campaign executed for Heineken by its Beirut office. JWT Bahrain contributed a bronze with a print campaign for Zayani Motors, and JWT Dubai added another bronze with its outdoor campaign for the Dubai Autism Centre.
"We are proud to have one of the most imaginative and prolific creative teams in the region. They consistently produce compelling creative work as confirmed by these awards,"
added Haddad.
Colleagues and peers in the industry acknowledged the resounding success of JWT during the awards, affirming the agency's stature as the region's premiere creative powerhouse, consistently demonstrating high levels of creativity throughout its regional network. "It's impressive what JWT has achieved across the region," one senior partner at a rival multinational agency was quoted as saying.
The board of jurors for the awarding body established by Campaign Middle East was led by Jan Zijderveld, Chairman of Unilever Middle East, one of the biggest and most respected clients of the advertising industry. "The rest of our jurors represent the region's most senior and most creative practitioners. We've balanced them across agency affiliations and specialties to take in all the major networks and disciplines including advertising, media, PR and of course, clients," noted Tim Burrowes, Editor, Campaign Middle East.
"We take these awards as an inspiration and challenge to continue to deliver
outstanding results for our clients and to continue pushing the standards of excellence for creativity and execution in marketing communications practice in the region," Haddad ended.
JWT was also one of six agencies short listed for the Agency of the Year award.

12 Great Characters We Hate By the End of the Movie
Cinematic Listology By David Christopher Bell on January 24, 2013 | Comments (10)Sometimes a person just doesn't get along. In films, it can be the other characters that don't mesh, or sometimes it's the audience themselves who just can't stand a single idiot character that won't go away. I believe the term is "Jar-Jaring" or, if you're referring to television, "pulling a Lori." Last year I gave you a pretty okay list of characters that achieved excellent redemptions for their wrongdoings. Today I want to explore those who did not. These are the asshole characters that tried and failed, or simply didn't try at all. Hey spoilers!
Woody Allen to Turn his New York Neurosis on Germany
Movie News By Nathan Adams on August 22, 2011 | Be the First To CommentHe achieved critical acclaim by shooting in England for Match Point. He won people's hearts by shooting in Spain for Vicky Cristina Barcelona. And he achieved his greatest financial success ever by filming in France for Midnight in Paris. For a filmmaker who people have often said has his best days behind him, Woody Allen has been doing pretty well for himself by taking his, some would say uniquely New York, perspective overseas. Not one to mess up a bad thing, Allen is currently shooting another ensemble comedy, this time in Italy, which will be called The Bop Decameron. And before he's even finished with that project, there are reports that he's already negotiating where to take his film crew next. According to THR, Allen is currently in negotiations with Bavaria Studios in Munich, Germany to set his next project in their city. Initially I would have thought that filming a movie in Munich was just a ploy for Allen to get paid to hang out during Oktoberfest, but apparently he is looking to start filming on this new film next summer rather than next fall. There is not yet any word on a title or plot summary, but at this early stage those sorts of things might not even exist. With the speed that Allen bangs these things out, it could be that the only thing he knows he wants to do next is go to Germany, story to follow. Whatever his recent process has been, I hope he […]

Pro Cycling
Team Garmin-Barracuda's 2012 Training Camp in Calpe, Spain
Garmin-Barracuda Training Camp, Calpe, Spain, January 2012
7 / 9
The team's sprinter, Tyler Farrar, got his first individual Tour de France stage win in 2011 on the Fourth of July. This year should be an especially interesting one for the sprinters as the world's best, Mark Cavendish, will be racing without his longtime lead-out ace, Mark Renshaw, after Cavendish moved to Team Sky and Renshaw signed with Rabobank. Could Cavendish's loss be Farrar's gain? We'll have to wait till July to find out.

see more
This series is one part of UC Irvine's Musicianship 15 ABC sequence for music majors. An understanding of music notation and basic musical terms is helpful but not required for these presentations. The math involved is basic. Pitch systems use mathematics to organize audible phenomenon for creative expression. The cognitive processes we develop through exposure to music comprise a kind of applied mathematics; our emotional responses to musical nuance grow out of a largely unconscious mastery of the patterns and structures in music. This series of presentations covers the basic mathematics and cognitive phenomenon found in the tonal system used in Western music and much of the music of the world. Over the course of several presentations we will explore basic concepts of pitch and frequency, the organizing rules of tonal systems, and the mathematical construction of basic scales and chords. The reasoning and purpose of equal temperament, the standard tuning system for tonal music, will be explored in this context. Presentations will include graphics and computer applications designed specifically to illustrate these concepts.

College rankings and costs, new report
U.S.A. - Several local colleges rank high in U.S. News and World Report's annual ratings.
The University of Rochester ranked 32nd in the national category-- up one spot from last year.
St. John Fisher College ranked 142nd on the same list--up from 152 last year.
Princeton topped that category.
In the north regional category, RIT held steady at 7th again this year.
SUNY Geneseo slid five spots to 15th.
Nazareth jumped six to 27th.
SUNY Brockport jumped 14 spots to 54th.
Roberts Wesleyan fell from 47 to number 74 this year.
Researchers factored in graduation rates, student selectivity and reputation in their ratings.
The report also paints a new picture of college costs.
Don't let the price tags for Harvard and Yale scare you, researchers say. Both ranked high on the "Best Value" list because financial aid and alumni who fund their alma mater's investment portfolios help off-set student debt.
The U of R ranked 28th on that list.

If you're looking for attention, the 2010 Roush Mustang 427R will certainly do the trick. I had the luxury of taking the car home over the extended 4th of July weekend, and the car made quite a splash wherever I went. Someone told me it is "the ultimate patriotic American muscle car." I suppose it could be. Although not my favorite, the dark blue paint with light blue accents was also fitting given the holiday. Twenty-inch chrome five-spoke wheels with big red Roush brake calipers and slotted rotors greet your eyes as you scan the car.
But the Roush 427R doesn't just look good sitting still, it looks good going fast, and does it ever with the supercharged V-8 pumping out 435 hp and 400 lb-ft of torque. The supercharger doesn't whine like most until you get way up in the rpm, then it screams bloody murder. Shifting is quick and precise with the Roush short-throw shifter, and the NASCAR-style shift ball looks like it came straight off of Carl Edwards's Ford Fusion. No need to look at the tachometer while driving; the intoxicating sound coming from the huge tail pipes tells you when you're approaching the 6500-rpm redline.
Like Rusty, I didn't like the Roush logo plastered onto the gauges. It looks like an afterthought and should have remained off; if you want a constant reminder of what you're driving, just touch the gas pedal. It would be nice to see this car resemble more of a racecar, too; little things like a carbon fiber console, aggressively bolstered seats with five-point harnesses, or even a push-button start would be a clever touch.

This homemade dry shampoo recipe is a great substitute for the aerosol versions if the strong smells bother you, too. I'm not a bit fan of walking around smelling like alcoholic fruit or candy, and I'm sure you're not either. ;)
I've included a homemade dry shampoo recipe for both light and dark hair - it will make enough for tons of uses and you can fit it in a spice jar. And it gives thin, straight hair great texture - it ends up feeling thicker!
Step 1: What you'll need:
- cornstarch
- baking soda
- cocoa powder - just make sure it's unsweetened! Sweetened cocoa powder will turn your hair into a sticky mess.
- a paper funnel
- a container to store it in
- measuring spoons
Step 2: The basic recipe
- 1/4 cup cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon baking soda
Ta-daaaa! Enough dry shampoo for tons of uses. As long as you keep it sealed up, you can store it in the bathroom with no issues.
1-40 of 87 | Next » |
Also I used it with cinnamon because I love the smell, I even put cinnamon in coffe:) and it worked well for me. My hair is a dark shade of auburn, so the red tones worked better for me.
Thanks for the baking soda tip!
Oh yay! I'm so happy to hear it!!
This dry shampoo is definitely one of my very favorite things :D
This is such a good idea. Saves a lot of water too! I don't know if many of you remember when women brushed their hair 100 strokes a night....no only to distribute body's natural oils but to brush dirt out of you hair. I am middle aged, and used to wash my hair everyday.....but last winter, my skin became so dry, I couldn't shower daily (Nothing helped!) However the condition of my hair really improved. Im going to add some fragrance, so my hair smells nice.
Really only when I need it - probably a 1-2 times a week. :)
If I know I won't have time to wash my hair the next morning, I'll put it in at night. Or if I wake up and just don't feel like washing, I'll use it in the morning.
I've heard of folks doing this, but I've never tried it myself! I'm not sure it'd be entirely comfortable to do because the cinnamon smells so strongly, but it couldn't hurt to try a bit. :)
I'd say I normally do a 1/2 teaspoon, maybe? It's hard to tell since I always eyeball it. :)
I think I'm going to give this a try, but with a small addition: finly ground oatmeal.
Try looking there! Scoochmaroo made her own sunscreen - you might be able to mix in some of her ingredients. She used micronized zinc oxide and titanium dioxide - they're powders so it should be easy to add. :)
i know this is a year old, but i have to reply, lol...the spf isn't for the hair, it's for the scalp! :D i'm one of those fair/blonde/curly girls, with hair too curly/fine to wear any way but short/very short, and scalp sunburn is seriously unpleasant, lol!! and yeah, i did see that others have said the same, but i just felt compelled to reply...lol!! ;D
Gotcha thanks for the explanation. I have very thick black hair so that would not have occurred to me. The only time I've bothered about hair products with SPF is when I colour it to prevent the colour from fading.
I honestly can't think of anything else that would work for adding to the dry shampoo though unless you can find a way to make titanium dioxide or zinc oxide powder stick to your hair and it might make an ugly white coating on your hair. I believe other SPF chemicals are in a liquid form which wouldn't work with the dry shampoo concept.
Thank you for this, i know the post is like a year old but i happened upon it while looking at a DIY website...I have super long hair, I have been growing it for 5 years now...The amount of money I spend on shampoo and conditioner each month is redic! My hair is to my butt in a high pony tail and is super thick so I have to use a ton of conditioner in order to be able to brush it after taking a shower, a shower for me is 5 mins of washing my body and shaving and 15-20 mins of washing my hair..it is much easier for me to use dry shampoo in between washes to keep it from looking super oily...I dont always have time for a half hour shower as I work 2 jobs, go to college and take care of my house, pets & family...I have noticed that since I have only been using shampoo less often my scalp doesnt itch as much, my hair is healthier and im seeing as much hair in my brush or as many split ends. I was told by my dermatologist when I was 15 that I should only shower 3 times a week because i have eczema and this would allow for my skin to rebuild the esstenial oils it needs...I do not smell and I am not dirty just to clarify that for people who like to assume things...I cant wait to try this..i hate using the areosol because they always get clogged and I feel like im going to pass out from the fumes
i've used tapioca starch in the past as a dry shampoo, needs must, etc. And the texture difference of my fine hair is amazing. However, it seems to take the shine out of my hair, do you have any suggestions to add shine? My hair tends to be oily.
But I did make this for my mom, and she really likes it, especially the chocolate part, lol.
Trust me, I once thought that I could not go more than 24 hours with out shampooing my hair and sometimes washed it twice in one day (at the gym and before bed). Never again. Dry shampoo helps get rid of some of the oils without stripping you scalp and triggering you body to produce even more.
Great idea to add the cocoa powder! I bet it smells great (being the chocoholic that I am!)
It does smell really good - but the smell wears off after the first couple hours. Which might be a good thing. Otherwise I get chocolate on the brain. :P
While I can't give definite proof that you are right on the money , I can give two anecdotal instances. Ironically, both are ad based.
The first is an ad disguised as an "article" called "Why Shampoos Are a Waste of Money".
"It's the dirty little secret many shampoo companies don't want you to know. When you wash your hair with certain traditional shampoos, you may actually be stripping your hair and scalp of their natural oils. Many shampoos usually rely on sodium laurel sulfate or other damaging detergents for cleansing. While these generate a thick lather to clean hair, they can also create dryness, frizziness, dullness, and color fade. We then spend a fortune of time and money on products that are effectively undoing the damage caused by shampoo."
Then they go on with a pitch trying to sell you an even MORE expensive shampoo.
The second is a movie from way back called "Crazy People". It's about an ad man who has a nervous breakdown and winds up in an institution, where he and a bunch of the residents decide to write some ads that tell the plain truth about products. Those ads accidentally get released and turn out to be a big hit. So the execs decide to try their hand at truth telling.
The first product they try it with is shampoo. At a brainstorming session, one of the execs says, "It doesn't do anything for anybody's hair. It robs hair of body, all shampoos do."
I know it's just a movie but this particular movie did contain an abundance of truth.
I have oily hair and itchy scalp if I don't wash it every day. I already have the ingredients and I will be trying this out over the next few days. Thanks for posting.

CNTbands is a Matlab script that computes E(k) and the density-of-states (DOS) vs. energy for a carbon nanotube specified by (n, m). It uses a simple model that treats the nanotube as a rolled up graphene sheet whose band structure is computed by a simple tight binding approach and assumes a single pi orbital per carbon atom. In addition to plotting E(k) and DOS(E), the script also computes some basic parameters of the nanotube such as
diameter, number of hexagons in the unit cell, etc.

This, the second television incarnation of Charlie Chan, was in animated form, produced by Hanna Barbera, and shown on Saturdays its first season. The clever detective was back solving mysteries in this version, and was "assisted" by the Chan Clan, a group consisting of Charlie's ten children and the family dog Chu Chu. Henry and Stanley were Charlie's eldest, and therefore the leaders of each mystery/search, which took place in a different American locale every week.
The Clan tooled around in a van which could change into various vehicles, depending on what was needed for camouflage. The family also performed as a rock group, sans Charlie of course; he was always more of a solo artist. The well-intentioned Clan would try to help solve the mysteries, usually doing more harm than good; Charlie would then bail them out at the end of the show by clearing up everything.
The voice of Charlie Chan was done by Keye Luke, who portrayed Number One son in the live-action Charlie Chan movies in the 1940's. Except for Henry and Alan, all the children's voices were recast for the second season, as their accents were too hard to understand. In an interesting footnote, future Oscar winner Jodie Foster was one of the actresses brought in to replace the original voice talents.
The second season of the show consisted of repeats, and aired on Sundays.
This episode includes the now politically incorrect song "Number One Son."

Minute Maid Park
Attendance: None
Houston, TX (Sports Network) - Josh Willingham hit two home runs, doubled and drove in four as the Nationals achieved season-bests in runs and hits en route to a 13-2 drubbing of the Astros at Minute Maid Park.
Willingham, Nick Johnson and Adam Dunn homered consecutively in the sixth. It was the first time the club homered in three straight at-bats since 1997 when the franchise was located in Montreal.
"It was good. We got on the board early," said Dunn. "We continue to put pressure on people. We've had chances to break games open a bunch of times, and tonight we did it."
Both Johnson and Dunn collected three hits and two RBI, and Alberto Gonzalez went 4-for-5 with a pair of RBI as the Nats pounded out 21 hits, a season-high 10 for extra bases.
Amid the offensive onslaught, rookie right-hander Craig Stammen (2-4) picked up his second career win and first complete game. He scattered nine hits and two runs while walking one and fanning two.
Washington halted both an eight-game losing streak on the road and five-game slide overall in this third installment of a four-game series.
Mike Hampton (5-6) was knocked around for nine hits and five runs in just 3 2/3 innings. Felipe Paulino and Jeff Fulchino came on in relief and gave up four runs each in the setback as Houston had won five of six.
"Tough night at the ball yard tonight," said Astros manager Cecil Cooper. "We got a lot of pitches up and they didn't miss many."
Miguel Tejada and Lance Berkman drove in the runs for Houston while Michael Bourn set a career-high with three stolen bases and scored twice.
Willingham opened the scoring with an RBI double in the first and Dunn drove him in with a single to center for the early 2-0 advantage.
The Astros responded in the home half with an RBI groundout by Berkman and Tejada tied the contest with an RBI double in the third, but the Nats exploded for 11 runs over the next four frames.
Gonzalez and Cristian Guzman had RBI singles in the fourth and Nyjer Morgan added a sac fly for a 5-2 game. Gonzalez came through again in the fifth with a run-scoring base knock and the Nats went back-to-back-to-back in the sixth off Paulino for a 9-2 margin.
Stammen helped himself with an RBI double to start a four-run seventh. Johnson later scored Stammen with a single to right and Willingham followed with his second homer of the game to cap the fireworks.
