Anne O'Neill fell in love with roses in her native Ireland and for the past five years has been the curator of the Cranford Rose Garden at the Brooklyn Botanic Garden. Anne thanks Jason Brown of Conard-Pyle/Star Roses, Tom Carruth of Weeks Roses, Pat Henry of Roses Unlimited, and Gene Waring of the Manhattan Rose Society for their input with this article.
Roses grow gloriously in the wild and have been thriving in older gardens for centuries, often with absolutely no care. So why do gardeners, especially organic gardeners, believe roses require so much attention and regular spraying with toxic chemicals that they are not worth growing?
If you love the beauty and fine fragrance of roses, you'll be glad to know that when you give them what they need--plentiful sunshine and air circulation, along with well-drained, fertile soil--and follow the steps I've outlined for you on the following pages, you'll discover how easy and rewarding they are to grow.
Buying Roses
Success with roses begins with planting varieties suited to your conditions. To start you off, I've listed some of the roses that perform well in the Brooklyn Botanic Garden, where I work, as well as recommendations from experts around the country.
When shopping for roses, you'll see that they are sold either with bare roots (with the soil washed off) or growing in a pot. Bareroot plants are dormant--they have no leaves or flowers. Plant them in early spring, before they start growing. Look for plants labeled "#1" grade--that indicates the highest quality--with at least three thick canes.
Roses in pots are actively growing and can be planted anytime in spring or fall. Whether you choose container or bareroot plants, be sure they have strong, green canes with white pith. The roots should be plentiful and almost as long as the topgrowth.
Roses are often sold "grafted"--that is, the top part with the flowers you want is attached to a stem and roots from a different variety. Grafted roses flower sooner than "own-root" roses, and they can be more vigorous; however, I prefer roses that are grown on their own roots. They come through harsh winters better than grafted plants because they are able to sprout from below the soil surface if they die back. Own-root roses are typically smaller at time of purchase and take longer to get to full size.
Rose Care Calendar
Since March weather is quite different in Atlanta than it is in Brooklyn (or Denver or San Diego), I've organized this calendar by season rather than by month.
Late Winter into Spring
Prune existing roses and plant new roses in this season. Pruning is essential because it allows sunlight to reach the center and air to circulate around the canes. Steady airflow prevents fungal diseases.
Pruning: Look for swelling leaf buds on the rose canes; don't wait for the leaves to show. Start by cutting out branches that are dead, damaged, or diseased. The next step depends on the type of rose:
Once-flowering roses, which bloom abundantly in spring or early summer and then are finished for the year, need only winter damage removed.
Repeat-flowering shrubs bloom heavily in spring and continue blooming more modestly throughout the summer and fall. Cut out winter damage and cut the rose back by one-third to half of its height. Make these cuts about one-quarter inch above an outward-facing bud. Prune out thin, crossing, and inward-facing canes.
Climbing roses. Climbers bloom the way repeat-flowering shrubs do but grow canes 6 to 20 feet in length. For climbers, which are typically trained onto arbors or other structures, prune back laterals (stems that grow from existing canes, rather than emerging directly from the base of the plant) to between three and five buds. Don't cut the growth that emerges from the base--you want to encourage those canes to grow. With newly planted climbers, cut out only dead, diseased, or damaged wood for the first three years. Don't shorten any canes until the fourth season.
Rambling roses. Ramblers are similar to climbers but have a more sprawling, relaxed habit. They bloom once a year, and get big--10 to 30 feet big. Retain the strongest old and new growth.
Secure ramblers and climbers by tying the long, sturdy canes to supporting structures.
Planting: Roses need at least 6 hours of sun each day (with a little early-afternoon shade in really hot climates). Choose a spot with well-drained, fertile soil and consistent air circulation.
Plant bareroot and dormant container roses when you see the forsythia bloom in early spring. By then, the ground has warmed enough for planting.
Dig down 3 feet and replace the soil with amended, organically rich soil. This is especially important if you're planting a new rose in a place where an old rose has grown. Use soil from a rose-free part of your garden (or bring it in), and move the soil you take out to another rose-free area.
I take my grandfather's advice and put very well aged manure about 2 feet below soil level and cover it with about 4 inches of amended soil. The idea is to draw the roots down deeper into the soil in search of nutrients.
Soak bareroot roses in water for 3 hours or so before planting and keep them shaded for a week after. Wait until the danger of frost has passed before planting container roses that have leafed out.
Watering: At planting, water your roses deeply, and do not let the soil completely dry out until they become established, which means until autumn.
Mulch: Spread 1 or 2 inches of shredded leaves or bark chips around your new roses.
Feeding: For existing roses, cover the soil with an inch of compost, mushroom compost (my favorite), or aged manure.
Once-flowering roses. Most bloom on the previous season's growth. Remove old, unproductive canes and spindly new canes after flowering. Do not deadhead (remove faded flowers); it prevents the formation of the attractive fruits known as hips.
Repeat-flowering shrubs. Deadhead all repeat-flowering roses. On plants with flowers that bloom in clusters, cut the entire cluster where the stem joins the cane.
Climbing and rambling roses. Deadhead repeat-flowering climbers. There's no need to deadhead ramblers. Continue training ramblers and climbers onto their supports.
Watering: Water established roses deeply at soil level (don't allow the leaves to get wet) once a week when it hasn't rained; twice a week for roses planted in spring.
Weeding: Remove weeds as necessary, and mulch around the base of your roses to discourage weeds from sprouting.
Feeding: Once-flowering roses. Don't feed them now. The compost or manure you spread each spring is enough for the year.
Repeat-flowering roses. Give these a boost with a dose of liquid fish or kelp. Just don't overdo it. Excessive fertilizer can lead to soft, weak growth that attracts insects.
Pests and diseases: If you start with varieties suited to your conditions and plant them in full sun, with fertile soil, steady air circulation, and plenty of water, you've taken the most important steps in preventing problems.
If your roses do suffer an attack, you can rely on the natural balance of your organic garden to minimize the damage. For example, encourage birds to visit your garden in winter. They eat bugs overwintering in soil and on plants. Here are specific treatments for common problems you can use when they are at their worst.
Cane borers. Borers burrow into canes, causing them to die back. Prune dead and dying canes back into green wood.
Japanese beetles. Eliminate the beetles during the grub stage using milky disease spores (see the August/September 2006 issue for information). Handpick adult beetles early in the morning.
Aphids. Wash aphids off the leaves and stems with a strong spray of water, or spray with organic insecticidal soap.
Mites. Spray canes with horticultural oil.
Fungal infections. Spray compost tea on both sides of the foliage. Always remove any diseased plant material immediately. Spray with Cornell Mix Fungal Spray:
1 tablespoon baking soda A few drops horticultural oil or Ivory soap
1 gallon water
Combine the ingredients in a gallon jug and fill a spray bottle with the mix. Spray susceptible plants every five days.
Transplanting: Transplant roses in your garden in mid to late autumn. Cut them back to about half their size and move to a properly prepared site (see section on planting roses in spring) quickly, with as little root injury as possible. Water well.
Pruning and training: Continue deadheading repeat bloomers until about six weeks before winter dormancy begins in your region. Tie new growth on climbers and ramblers to supporting structures.
Fertilizing: Stop fertilizing at least six weeks before the average first-frost date in your area.
Winter Pruning: Cut back excessively long canes so that they don't whip around in the wind and rock the roots free of the soil.
Cleanup: Dispose of the fallen rosebush leaves, but not in your compost pile-- they may harbor diseases.
Cold protection: In freezing climates, after a couple of frosts, mound around the crown of your rose plants with a few inches of soil or lightly shredded bark. Shield vulnerable plants with burlap or protective rose cones.
Rest and dream: Congratulations! Time to relax and start dreaming about next year's show!
A Rose by Any Other Name
Reading labels when you're buying a rosebush can seem like learning a new language. But understanding the terminology helps you find the varieties that suit your purposes and conditions.
Floribunda: Bushes that range from 2 to 6 feet tall and equally wide. Most are cold-hardy. They bloom continuously in clusters of medium-size flowers. Many color options. For the flower border or cut flowers. Fragrance varies.
Polyantha: Smaller in flowers and in overall plant size, they are a scaled-down version of floribunda roses.
Hybrid tea: Also called large-flowered roses. Classic florist roses with large blossoms (one per stem) that become pointed toward the center, they range from 3 to 6 feet tall. Some are deliciously fragrant; many aren't. Best for cut flowers, as the plant itself isn't much to look at.
Landscape: A new type bred to be easy to care for and to look great in the landscape. Highly disease- and pest-resistant. Low-growing, with short flower stems that are not suited to bouquets. Continuous bloom spring to fall. Best choice for beginners.
Modern: All varieties bred after 1867, including hybrid teas, floribundas, and polyanthas. Come in both soft and bold colors, and fragrance varies greatly. Most repeat bloom.
Old garden: All varieties that existed before 1867, including China, damask, tea, and noisette types. They tend to have softer colors than modern roses and are often very fragrant. Most bloom once in spring. The types vary in cold-hardiness.
Species: Wild roses.

You guys still havent released documents or code for power management or for UVD. These are features that have been missing for years and there have been many xorg and kernel and mesa releases since then. You start target one release cycle and say that by x and x release cycle we will have x and x feature sets done.

Paperless billing is a secure, cost-effective billing method that allows you to receive billing statements in a timely manner, as well as have the convenience of accessing up to 12 months of billing history. In order to receive an eBill statement, a student must have registered for classes or co-op five days prior to the bill issuing date. We remind all of our students of their responsibility to check for their latest eBill, and submit their payment on or before the due date. For individuals who may be assisting with payment, and are not authorized users, we recommend that the student print a copy of the eBill or create a PDF to share this information. Student Billing Account You can access your billing account via your Drexel One account. In your billing account you are able to do the following: View all transactions on your account in real time Download and print available eBill statements as PDFs Set-up authorized users to have access to your billing account Establish bank accounts for making online payments and receiving refunds Make electronic payments You can access your billing information by: Log into DrexelOne. Select the "Billing and Financial Aid" tab. Click the "eBills" link in the "Account Balance and Bill channel. Click the "Review eBill" link in the top navigation. eBill Statements Drexel Central creates eBill statements once a month based up recent registration, payments, or transactions to your student account. When a new eBill is created, you will be sent an electronic notification via your official Drexel University student email account. This electronic notification provides a web link to your DrexelOne account to view the latest eBill, and includes the current due date and any balance/credit due. Authorized Users You have the ability to grant permission to other payers, such as parents, guardians, and employers, to be authorized users, which gives them access to the eBill 24 hours a day. Once permission is granted, the authorized user will be allowed to make online eCheck or credit card payments on your behalf. Additionally, if you have more than one family member paying your bill you can authorize multiple users. We strongly encourage students to set up the authorized users one month prior to registration. To add an individual as an authorized user: Log into DrexelOne. Select the "Billing and Financial Aid" tab. Click the "Authorized Users" link in the "Payment and Refund Information" channel. Click the "Authorized Users" tab, which is located in the upper tab area. Click "Add Authorized User". Input the email address of the authorized user - please use all lowercase letters as the system is case sensitive. Review the options area to determine the level of access you will grant. Click the "Add User" button. Please read the agreement. To authorize, you must enter the last four digits of your student identification number in the box. Click the "I Agree" button. Two emails will be sent to the authorized user. One will include a link to the authorized user website and the email address you have authorized; the second will have the password. The first time the authorized user logs in, he/she will be prompted to select a new password. Once an individual has been granted access as an authorized user, they will be able to access your billing account information at www.drexel.edu/ebill. Please note that granting access as an authorized user does not give the individual access to your Drexel One account or academic information, nor does it take the place of the university's FERPA policies. Text Message Notifications You can sign up to receive text messages every time a new eBill is issued for you. Authorized users can also sign up to receive text messages. To sign up a mobile number, use the following instructions: Log in to Drexel One. Click the "Billing and Financial Aid " tab. Click the "eBills" link in the "Account Balance and Bill" channel. Click the "My Account" tab. Click the "My Profiles". Select "Communication". Fill out the mobile phone and carrier information. Click "Save Changes." You will then see a message at the top "Profile changes were saved". Please note, standard messaging rates apply. eBill Suite Planned Outages There are set times that the eBill suite will not be available due to scheduled maintenance. The eBill Suite and all online functions will be unavailable from 2:00 am to 6:00 am EST for the following dates: November 15, 2013 December 13, 2013 January 3, 2014 February 7, 2014 March 7, 2014 April 11, 2014 May 9, 2014 June 6, 2014 July 11, 2014 August 8, 2014 September 5, 2014 October 3, 2014 November 7, 2014 December 5, 2014 Late Fees If you do not pay your balance in full by the due date listed on your eBill, a late fee of 1% of the outstanding balance will be assessed to your account. The late fee will appear as a charge on your next month's eBill. Late fees will continue to accrue on your account every month you continue to have an outstanding balance due. Late fees charged to your account become part of your overall balance due to the University and you are responsible for paying them. If a late fee has been assessed in error or there were extenuating circumstances to be considered, you may submit a Late Fee Waiver Request Form through AskDrexel. Drexel Central will review your request and send you a decision via e-mail within five business days. Financial Holds A financial hold is placed on your student account if you fail to pay your account balance listed on your eBill by the billing due date. A financial hold prevents you from performing any of the following actions: Registering for courses for future academic terms Participating in co-op interviews Viewing your grades Ordered and receiving a transcript Receiving your diploma A financial hold will only be removed once you have covered your outstanding balance in full. If you make a payment online by eCheck or credit card your financial hold will be lifted within 24 hours; a financial hold can also be lifted immediately if you make a full payment in-person at the Cashier's window in the Drexel Central University City Campus office. You can view a list of the different types of holds that can be placed on a student's account at the Drexel Central Holds page. Student Financial Obligation Statement All Drexel University students are prompted to read and agree to the following Student Financial Obligation statement in their Drexel One account. Student Financial Obligations and Tuition Repayment Agreement I understand that once I am registered for course(s) and/or participating in the Cooperative Education Program at Drexel University, I become solely responsible for payment of the resulting, tuition, fees and any other balances pursuant to the Student Financial Obligations and Tuition Repayment Agreement. Regardless of any expected reliance on any third-party resource, including but not limited to financial aid, family gifts, employer reimbursement or any other external resource, I remain personally responsible for paying any and all outstanding balances. This Agreement shall constitute a promissory note obligating me to pay all outstanding balances due Drexel University. Failure to Pay I understand that should I fail to pay any outstanding balances in full when due and my account becomes delinquent, a late fee of one percent (1%) will be assessed on a monthly basis to my outstanding balance. I further understand that when my account becomes delinquent, Drexel University, in addition to assessing late fees, may: 1) withhold future registration privileges or schedule adjustments; 2) withhold the awarding of any degree(s) or diplomas; and/or 3) withhold official transcripts. Withdrawal Policy I understand that in accordance with Drexel University's Tuition Refund/Credit Schedule Policy, my effective date of withdrawal (whether it be from an individual course or from Drexel University) will determine the amount of credit that I may be eligible to receive, thereby reducing the total amount of fees owed to Drexel University. Please refer to the Tuition Refund/Credit Schedule and the Add/Drop/Withdraw and Withdraw and/or Leave of Absence forms. Collections for Nonpayment I understand that should my student account become delinquent, Drexel University reserves the right to transfer my delinquent account to a contracted collection agency, attorney and/or credit bureau. I will be held responsible for collection costs and attorney's fees in addition to my outstanding balance. Such fees will be assessed at a minimum of 33 and 1/3 percent of my balance due. Collection Activity Involving Cell Phone Numbers and Email Addresses I authorize Drexel University and its agents to contact me at my cellular telephone number or wireless communication service I provide or may provide in the future, using automated telephone dialing systems, artificial or pre-recorded voice or text messages, or personal calls, regarding my obligation to repay any debt I owe to Drexel University resulting from my registration. I authorize Drexel University and its agents to contact me at my provided email address and/or at any other email address I provide in the future, regarding my obligation to repay any debt I owe to the university resulting from my registration. I understand that others may be able to access my messages and/or my emails, and their content, which may include information regarding my debt and its status. I agree that I am giving these authorizations voluntarily, and that my doing so is not a condition to my obtaining a student loan or any other service. I understand that if I want to revoke this authorization to contact me at the cell phone numbers and/or email addresses I provide, I will do so only by written email notification to firstname.lastname@example.com. Dewar Tuition Insurance As a supplement to Drexel University's Refund Policy, A.W.G Dewar has been approved to offer an insurance program, The Tuition Refund Plan (TRP). The plan supplements the college refund schedule and provides more generous refunds throughout the entire term. If you withdraw from classes due to personal illness or accident, this plan will return up to 75% of your insured tuition and fees. Enrollment forms with complete details are mailed to students in June and August, or you can complete the application online. The TRP provides coverage according to the term of the policy for tuition, mandatory fees and room charges. Benefits under the TRP can provide a valuable resource for students who need to withdraw for medical reasons. Please contact A.W.G Dewar, (Inc.) at (617) 774-1555 or you can access their website for more information or to apply. Tuition and Fee Explantation Cost Explanation Tuition Tuition is the cost associated with enrolling and participating in classes at Drexel University. General Fee The General Fee is assessed to all students and supports services such as Student Centers, library and informational technology. The fee entitles you to participate in student government. This fee does not cover any breakage deposits or charges. Laboratory Fee The Laboratory Fee is assessed to all students to offset expenses associated with maintaining and purchasing equipment for student labs that are located on campus. Student Activity Fee The Student Activity Fee is assessed to all students and funds student activities. The distribution of the funds is managed through the Student Activity Fee Allocation Committee and the Undergraduate Student Government Association. Standardized Patient Fee The Standardized Patient Fee is assessed to students in certain majors in the College of Nursing and Health Professions. Equipment Fee The Equipment Fee is assessed to students in certain majors in the College of Nursing and Health Professions. Tuition and Fee Guidelines 2014-2015 Academic Year All students will be billed when registration occurs. Any student adjusting their schedule after billing has occurred will receive an adjusted bill in the next billing period. All undergraduate, part-time, Evening College and graduate students will be billed based on the student's level (undergraduate or graduate) and by the college offering the course. Starting in the 2014-2015 academic year, Drexel transitioned to a quarterly billing method for full-time undergraduate students. Part of this change incorporated special transition tuition rates for certain students to ensure equitable billing across all full-time undergraduate students. Information about the transition to quarterly billing can be found at the Quarterly Billing webpage. Coverage Exclusions Credits hours in excess of twenty hours per scheduled class quarter are billed at the credit hour rate. Credit hours in excess of four hours per scheduled CO-OP quarter are billed at the credit hour rate. Credit hours taken during vacation or non-scheduled quarters will be billed at the credit hour rate for all hours less than twelve and at the full-time rate for credit hours between twelve and twenty; credit hours in excess of twenty hours are billed at the credit hour rate. Study abroad terms and courses are not included in the standard quarterly tuition and fees. Some courses and/or programs of study may have charges in addition to the standard tuition and fees.

If you ever have the opportuntiy to safari in the Serengetti, do not miss it! Seeing the sites here is what travel is all about. Words cannot discribe nor do justice to the view, the animals, the feel. It's being alive.
We arrived in Arusha to search for a safari and trekking company as few were in Dar and none seemed trustworth. We chose Sunny Safari and were not disapointed. Our guide Martin was quiet but sharp and he warmed up by the end of the trip. Our cook, Nruu did a great job keeping us fed and watered. We were joined on our trip by Tim and Ana whom we met in Dar. These guys are great and really added to our Safari. Keep safe on your jouneys guys!
We did a 4 day 3 night safari. We camped 2 nights in the Serengetti and 1 night in Nurongoro(sp?) crater. We were just in time to catch the end of the grand Migration and the area was full of Zebra and Wildabeast, Elephants and Lions and everything in between. We even saw cheetahs and a Lion kill up close and personal. What can I say, you have to see the picture to believe it and even then it won't do the place justice.
With every great event there must also be disapointments. Once again Kiliminjaro has escaped my boot prints. Not having the proper climbing gear and not being able to find any in Arusha and add Rachel coming down with a bad head cold we decided to cancel our Kili attempt. I will not be denied and I will be back, and soon, to climb the highest peak in Africa. Just you wait!
Safari out of the way, we're headed back to Dar and then to the beaches of Zanzibar for some much needed R&R.
See you at the beach!

Focaccia with Lemon and Dill Marinated Grilled Chicken, Roasted Red Peppers and Feta
It has been a while since I have done a Focaccia bread. This time I thought that I would make it a meal in and of itself with lots of toppings. Grilled chicken, roasted red peppers and feta sounded like it would do the trick. It was pretty good even though most of the toppings kept falling off.
The Focaccia Bread:
2 cups flour
1 pinch sugar
1 pinch salt
1 tablespoon yeast
1 cup warm water
1 teaspoon olive oil
1. Mix everything & knead.
2. Let rest (covered) in a warm place until it doubles in size.
3. Knock it down and flatten it out.
4. Place on a baking sheat with sprinkled with cornmeal to prevent sticking.
5. Let rise a second time.
6. Brush the olive oil on top of the bread.
7. Bake in a preheated 350 oven for about 10 minutes.
8. Add the toppings and continue to cook for another 10 minutes.
The Toppings:
1 lemon (juice and zest)
2 tablespoons dill (chopped)
1 small chicken breast
1 roasted red pepper (cut into bit sized pieces)
1 ounce feta (crumbled)
1. Marinate the chicken in the lemon and dill for about a half an hour.
2. Grill the chicken.

The Bermuda Bench/Table
Every time Norm does an outside project it is an instant hit. This will be no exception. It's a useful all-weather convertible bench/table. He found it in an old house in Saint Georges, Bermuda and thought it would be perfect for a New Yankee Workshop project. Made of rot-resistant cypress, this will only get more beautiful with age.
The Ottoman
Encouraged by his success in building the upholstered cigar chair in Season 15, Norm partners once again with furniture guru Norman Coley to build an oversized ottoman. Norm visits the semi-annual world famous Chapel Hill, North Carolina furniture market to select the model he will build in the New Yankee Workshop. While he is at it, he adds a leather-covered footstool to go with his cigar chair.
Bermuda Chest
Bermudans call themselves "Onions" perhaps because of those succulent pungent bulbs they have grown for hundreds of years. But onions also appear as wooden buns, or feet, to keep their blanket chests off the damp floors of that seaside nation. Norm, on his trip to Bermuda, finds a historic example in the form of a well-proportioned solid mahogany chest which he is able to reproduce faithfully back at the shop.
Federal-Style Game Table
With no television and few newspapers to read, our ancestors had plenty of time for card games – thus, game tables were very popular. They often featured circular tops that were hinged and could be folded, designed to be stored against the wall when not in use. When needed, the top flipped down on a hinged gate leg and was suitable for four card players. Norm discovered an example in historic Deerfield, Massachusetts, which he used as inspiration for his piece.
Lathe 101
In Lathe 101, Norm tackles the wood lathe and shows the basic techniques necessary to learn spindle turning, showing several examples of lathes and the tools required to achieve professional results. A self-taught turner himself, Norm then turns a regulation sized baseball bat and even gets a member of the current Red Sox baseball team to try it out in Fenway Park.
Side Chair
Norm has said many times that chairs are the most challenging projects a woodworker can attempt. Not only do they have to be strong enough to support the heavy twisting action of a human body, they also have to be attractive enough to take their place at the table. Norm visits historic Deerfield in central Massachusetts where he discovers, amid the vast collection of antique furniture, a comfortable, handsome, American-built side chair of the early 1800's. Norm makes a faithful reproduction back in the work-shop and upholsters it in a modern fabric that should stand up well to the rigors of time.
Tilt Top Table
One classic furniture form that Norm has long admired is the tilt top table. Graceful Chippendale feet support a central pedestal, which in turn supports the tilting mechanism and a glorious cherry top fashioned in a "handkerchief" outline. When stored in the "up" position it provides a dramatic backdrop, and when it is down it is a comfortable and useful table for four. Norm finds the original at the historic Harrison Gray house on Boston's Beacon Hill.
Highboy (Part 1 of 2)
This bonnet-topped Queen Anne-legged tiger maple highboy is a classic in every sense of the word. Even the reproduction hardware is rare. Joining Norm in the search for a suitable highboy that Norm can reproduce are Leigh and Leslie Keno, respected furniture experts from FIND!. They take Norm to Leigh's gallery in New York City and show him a glorious original they believe was built in Wethersfield, Connecticut, in the early 19th century. It takes Norm two programs to complete the magnificent project, and those who have seen it say it is well worth his time and effort.

It takes Norm two programs to complete the magnificent project, and those who have seen it say it is well worth his time and effort.
Kitchen Island
Largely unknown in grandmother's time, kitchen islands have become indispensable in today's modern homes. Used to house sinks, cook tops, storage for pots and pans, recyclables and barstools, they often become the most valuable work surface in a busy kitchen. Norm builds one out of poplar and birch plywood for a painted finish and lines it with hard wearing factory-applied finishes intended to give this island a long career of heavy use. Along with the high-tech plywood, Norm uses state of the art drawer slides and period pulls to complete this useful project.
Carved Wooden Signs
In 1988, a small company in Lincoln, New Hampshire, created The New Yankee Workshop sign. In this program Norm finds out how a router, a sand blaster, a hand chisel, and a sophisticated computerized machine can be used to carve modern signs. Then he learns how the professionals design, hand-letter, paint, and gild these beauties. He returns to the New Yankee Workshop and applies the lessons he's learned to his own collection of shop-made signs.
The Library System
"Is there a homeowner out there who doesn't yearn for more shelf space for his books and display items," says Norm at the beginning of The Library System program. Recognizing the need for a good bookcase design that can be used in any suitable room and added to as needed to fill out a wall of books leads Norm to design a modular system that can be adjusted to go around existing windows or doors. It looks like expensive "custom" built-ins, yet the elements are actually built in the shop where cutting and routing large pieces of plywood and dealing with the resulting dust is easy.
The Colonial Mantel
After tackling more pressing projects, Norm finally gets around to building a mantelpiece for the master bedroom in his new home: a beautiful Colonial piece that frames the master bedroom's fireplace. The project involves the production of several router table moldings, the creation of flat panels made from m.d.f., some precise work with the mitre saw and installation of the completed mantelpiece to the existing fireplace. As always, Norm makes this complicated project seem within reach of most average woodworkers.
Plantation Shutters
Anyone who's priced plantation shutters lately knows how expensive they can be, costing several hundred dollars per opening. Not surprisingly, Yankee ingenuity and thrift prevail and Norm creates some stunning shutters in the workshop. He first builds a collection of jigs, which are necessary to drill holes, set staples and mortise hinges; then he shapes the individual basswood slats, mounts them on a control rod and positions the whole assembly into a frame of poplar that's then spray painted.
Workshop Helpers
Everybody knows Norm likes to work alone. Sometimes, that's not easy, so Norm has decided to enlist the help of workers who never show up late, never get tired and are willing to work until the job is done: the adjustable roller stand, the stock cart and the work stand. The adjustable roller stand is a sturdy, height adjustable, rugged stand for use as an out feed appliance for the table saw, the band saw or the drill press. It even comes to work with its own self-storing crank. The stock cart is a lightweight, strong wheeled wagon that comes with four shelves to organize the parts needed to complete a project and travels from machine to machine carrying the parts as needed. The work stand is a shop-built table to support bench top tools like planers, small saws and jointers that, combined with a mobile base, can add versatility and convenience to any shop.
The Poker Table
Poker is the game to be playing right now and Norm has a special project in mind for its legions of fans. He creates his eight-sided table of mahogany and mahogany veneer plywood, and places it on a sturdy pedestal. Instead of the traditional felt covering typically used on these tables, Norm chooses a state-of-the-art synthetic fabric that offers a much-improved covering. He even finds brass cup holders, which are recessed into the top for holding beverages.
The Shop Clock
Over the years, Norm has created several clocks for THE NEW YANKEE WORKSHOP, most notably the tall case oak clock with an imported eight-day movement. Now his interest turns to a shorter cased clock with a key wind spring movement that is housed in a walnut case. The big difference is the painted glass panel that adorns the clock face and the clockworks below. Norm asks his project partner, the Klockit Company of Lake Geneva, Wisconsin, to create a facsimile of the famous New Yankee logo, which will be painted on the glass and through which the clock pendulum can be seen.
Router 101 - Part 1
Ever since the ubiquitous power tools were invented many years ago, craftsmen like Norm have been devising ways to use routers for a wide variety of useful tasks. Norm begins this special two-part program with a demonstration of both the standard base and the plunge type router. He also shows some of his favorite bits for creating both simple and complex edges on his projects. Then, Norm turns to the task of making perfect mortises for hinges by creating a jig that allows even a novice to achieve perfect results every time. Next, he uses the router and builds another home-built jig to form precise dadoes in shelf standards, elements he might build for a bookcase project.
Router 101 - Part 2
In part two of this router special, Norm begins with a demonstration of commercial router tables and moves on to show his version of a router station, which so many of his fans have copied for their own workshops. Norm shows the step-by-step procedure for making raised-panel cabinet doors. Next, he uses a homemade circle-cutting jig to form perfect circles of various diameters with a router. Included are instructions and a demonstration of inlays using a router.
The Corner Table
Norm paddles a canoe over some rapids in search of unusual white oak that's been submerged there for nearly 150 years. The oak was used in a dam on Virginia's mighty Rappahannock River. Today it's a pile of salvage on the river's edge. Norm engages Bill Jewel, a local sawyer of historical trees, to prepare this timber for making a drop-leaved corner table. After Norm gets the wood to his shop, he expends considerable effort turning it into suitable pieces needed to make a copy of the original table -- which Norm found at Kenmore House, a noted Fredericksburg mansion that was once owned by George Washington's sister -- including the challenging turned legs that add so much style to this particular piece.
Greek Revival Bookcases
At a designer show-house, Norm discovers a handsome collection of bookcases built in the Greek Revival tradition. Although they're made of plywood, every detail gives the appearance of solid tablets of white stone. The shelves resemble slabs of marble, and the cornice on the tall case might have been carved from stone in the manner of a Greek temple. Glass doors enclose the lower bookcase element and swing on concealed European hinges.
The Storage Shed
Taking his cue from a pool house on Nantucket, Norm creates a relatively simple, multipurpose structure so coveted by today's homeowners. It could be a garden shed, a place to store the outdoor furniture for the winter, a pool house or home for the family bicycles and yard machines. This 96-square-foot building is the perfect size for many backyards and features low maintenance materials expected to retain paint and resist weather. Best of all, it's attractive and relatively easy to build.
Wall Hung Console
No more than a shelf really, this functional and beautiful console is fastened to the wall with massive decorative brackets. It's perfect for the display of vases, candles, lamps and other objects in a narrow space. Norm builds his of mahogany.
Corner Chair
Corner chairs go far back in the history of furniture. Some say their early popularity had to do with their convenience for those wearing swords -- they could sit comfortably on such a chair. During a visit to Historic New England, a preservation society, Norm sees a number of variations on this classic form. He builds his chair of cherry.
Wall Paneling
Norm demonstrates how easy it is to panel a wall. He begins by showing examples of wall paneling in a home restored by THIS OLD HOUSE several years ago. At one end of the spectrum, Norm takes hardwood veneer plywood to create rail and stile panels. Then he shows how simple painted moldings alone can achieve an elegant paneled look. Finally, he shows how medium density fiberboard, made to look like old-time bead board, can be used to achieve a beautiful period look.
Giltwood Mirror
One of the most challenging projects ever attempted on THE NEW YANKEE WORKSHOP comes when Norm tries his hand at reproducing a Federal-style giltwood mirror. It isn't the woodworking that is particularly difficult. Norm makes that part seem easy. It's trying to gild the mirror with gold leaf and make the frame appear as solid gold that takes time, patience and lots of skill. Norm picks up the history of giltwood and sees some remarkable examples when antiques expert Gary Sullivan discusses his collection. Then, Norm visits Linda Abrams, a gilder and reverse painter, for an understanding of what it takes to turn wood into gold.
Entrance Door
It would be hard to think of a more important element of a home's appeal than its entranceway. But all too often, modern doors are an unremarkable (yet necessary) feature quickly forgotten by those who pass through them. Not so with this custom-made mahogany beauty that Norm creates in the workshop. He designs and builds it from scratch for an old house that cries out for a new door. Along the way, he's able to find a pair of antique looking "bull's eye" glass inserts and a handsome brass knob and lock to set off this masterpiece.
Old Pine Dry Sink
Arlington House sits high above the National Cemetery in Virginia as an imposing witness to historic events. Once the home of Robert E. Lee, it survives today under the watchful care of the National Park Service and is brimming with antiques of the Civil War era. Historic records prove that, at one time, the estate was worked by 63 slaves, some of whom worked in the kitchen. Many of the tools and everyday objects they would have used still take up residence in the house, including a painted old pine dry sink. Norm notices it immediately and decides to build one himself out of recycled pine. However, the only water Norm's dry sink will ever see is from tending the houseplants he intends to display on its copper top.
Martha's Candlestand
To see Martha Washington's bedroom, you'll have to talk to the Ladies of Mount Vernon, who look after the first president's mansion near the Potomac River. Although not officially on the tour of Mount Vernon, the ladies agree to take Norm to parts of the old house that the public rarely sees. In one such room, the third floor bedroom that Martha took after George died, Norm comes across a handsome cherry candlestand that sits near the bed. Upon further inspection, he discovers that it is a diminutive, well-crafted stand complete with a wooden "birdcage" element that allows the tabletop to rotate and flip up for storage. Before he leaves Mount Vernon, Norm works with a sawyer of historic wood, William Jewell, to attain some cherry (what else?) harvested from one of the estate's fallen trees.
Dominy Clock
Without dispute, one of the greatest collections of American antiques resides at the Winterthur Museum in Delaware. One of the museum's most popular displays, the original workshops of the Dominy family, quickly draws Norm's attention. The Dominys were clock and cabinetmakers who worked in eastern Long Island from the 1730s to the 1830s, creating high-quality clocks and furniture. Norm visits the exhibit and selects a clock, circa 1821, from the Dominy collection to reproduce back in the workshop. Norm builds his simple tall case clock out of poplar and paints it to resemble the original.

Wiswell scores twice as St. Thomas gets key win
Thursday, February 21, 2013
DOVER — Glenn Wiswell scooped up the loose pucks and the St. Thomas Aquinas High School boys hockey team scooped up a big win.
"The kids are playing the way we're trying to play," Leach said. "The first month of the season, the kids aren't used to it. We're just a much more well-rounded team three months into the season."
Trinity fell to 11-5-1 and wraps up its regular season tonight at home against Hanover. The Pioneers drew first blood when Kyle Valliere scored 6:25 into the contest. Trinity led 1-0 after one.
The Saints were unable to score on their first power-play opportunity of the evening in the first period, but still had 44 seconds remaining on another power play when the second period began. Boulanger skated in from the right wing and flicked the puck past Trinity freshman goalie Joe Benedetto (24 saves) for a power-play goal, tying the game at a goal apiece just 24 seconds into the frame.
Middleton gave St. Thomas the lead for the first time when he scored with assistance from sophomore Cam Vetter for a goal at 7:16 of the middle frame.
Trinity (11-5-1) 1 0 0 — 1

Protest against Vladimir Putin in Moscow
Thousands rally against Vladimir Putin in Moscow. A teenager from Canada takes her own life after being bullied by classmates. And the UK is recruiting computer hackers online.
Protest against Vladimir Putin in Moscow
"We want free elections" and "Putin is a thief" shouted protesters as they took to the streets of Moscow on Monday night. Thousands turned out for one of the largest opposition demonstrations in Russia for years. They were protesting against the parliamentary elections which took place on Sunday, and were won by the president's United Russia party. There were a number of apparent violations in the conduct of the elections, which web users are intent on denouncing, despite a series of cyber-attacks on independent websites.
In this video, a man from Moscow says pens in voting booths were filled with a special ink that could later be erased. But despite the allegations of electoral fraud, Vladimir Putin's party lost 77 seats in parliament, showing a major drop in popularity for Russia's ruling party.
Up until now Russians have been voicing their frustrations online, but now they are taking to the streets of Moscow to do so. Anti-corruption activist Alexei Navalny had called upon his many supporters to take part in Monday night's rally. His speech was hailed by protesters, many of whom were young first time demonstrators.
The blogger was arrested shortly afterwards along with hundreds of other demonstrators. But this did not affect their determination, as we can see in this photo of the detained activists, taken by Navalni in the police van. With just a few months to go before the Presidential election, this should give Vladimir Putin something to worry about.
Teen suicide shines light on cyberbullying problem in Canada
15 year old high school student Marjorie Raymond committed suicide last week sending shockwaves across Quebec and the web. She took her own life after apparently being bullied by class mates in school and on social networks. The affair has grabbed headlines across the country and reignited debate on teenage bullying, and in particular on the Internet.
Several Facebook groups have been set up to pay tribute to Marjorie. They include photomontages in her memory, and web users can share their thoughts, feelings and sadness over this terrible act of desperation.
Others like Canadian comedian Laurent Paquin have made videos condemning school bullying and expressing their sorrow over Marjorie Raymond's death. Silent films directly inspired by another video called "Jade's Story" which was made a few months ago and had greatly moved Canadian web users at the time. The film depicts a teenage girl, also a victim of school bullying, explaining the suffering she endures on a daily basis.
The affair is being taken very seriously, and has been taken to the highest levels of the State, a number of politicians have recently announced they will be toughening up anti-bullying legislation. The Radio Canada website has reported that MPs want to give schools the authority to close down Facebook accounts if students are using them to bully classmates.
UK recruits hackers with online code-cracking contest
The British Government Communication Headquarters, known for its phone hacking expertise, is looking to recruit computer hackers, and has launched an online contest to do so; potential candidates have to solve a visual code which is hosted on this site. Those who succeed will be invited to interview for a position within the government agency's cyber security unit. All interested hackers have until the 11th of December to submit their entry.
