My father was really great at getting publicity and sensing good publicity about to happen. When he heard that Diana Spencer was going to go to Australia to talk to her mother about marrying Prince Charles, he realised that this was a major publicity opportunity, and he sent her some sun glasses to wear on her visit to Sydney to see her mother. Unfortunately the sunglasses didn't arrive in time and he got a hand written note from her when she got back saying how grateful she was for the glasses but they didn't arrive in time but she would be wearing them from now on because the press were photographing her all the time. When she went on her visit to Thailand with Prince Charles she needed several pairs of sunglasses to go with different outfits. In particular she needed white because it was summer in Bangkok at that time and she also needed another pair which was made out of red and white to match a dress that she was wearing. So I made these up for her and the publicity was unbelievable because she was photographed everywhere and we were on front covers of virtually every magazine in the world, of Diana wearing her Oliver Goldsmith glasses.
Unfortunately at that time we weren't allowed to actually mention to the press that we were making the glasses for her, but Jean Rook, who was the fashion editor at the Daily Express and a very close friend of my father's said this is absolutely ridiculous, I'm going to speak to the palace and get permission to put into the paper that Oliver Goldsmith makes the glasses for Princess Diana, and she did and that was wonderful publicity for us.
The company is over 80 years old, obviously starting from 1926, I'm third generation. I'm very pleased to say that my niece, my late brother's daughter, has come into the business to run the sunglass division …so now we have a fourth generation, which is very pleasing for me because retro's very fashionable at the moment, all my designs of the 60s, 70s and 80s are being reproduced and sold now, so it's very satisfying for me. Also we have potentially a fifth generation in waiting because I had a grandson, my fifth grandson was born three weeks ago and his name is M Oliver Goldsmith, so that makes me very proud too and hopefully he will come into the business

How about a nice warm country like Thailand? I was just there and happened to hurt my foot on some sharp rocks on the beach. Went to the local health clinic (not a hospital, just a couple of nurses there) and was treated within 10mins. The only cost was the price of the bandages needed, which amounted to about 2€. Went there everyday to have the cut disinfected and I was always greeted with a smile. On the last day left some more money in the donation box.
Specialized health care will of course be a lot more expensive but should still be a whole lot cheaper than in US or ye olde socialist Europe, but just as effective. And not to mention that the friendliness of the staff is on a completely different level.

"You can't own a human being. You can't lose what you don't own. Suppose you did own him. Could you really love somebody who was absolutely nobody without you? You really want somebody like that? Somebody who falls apart when you walk out the door? You don't, do you? And neither does he. You're turning over your whole life to him. Your whole life, girl. And if it means so little to you that you can just give it away, hand it to him, then why should it mean any more to him? He can't value you more than you value yourself."
― Toni Morrison, Song of Solomon "
I really like this novel.
This book is truly magnificent. Morrison's allusions to the unjustified discrimination and violence that African Americans faced over the course of history is vividly implemented into the novel, signifying a unique background that influences a young black man, Macon "Milkman" Dead to go on a journey in search of his identity. Morrison's symbolism, motifs, and unique writing style (magical realism), sways the reader forward as they too will make a journey quite like Milkman's.
An excellent novel, one of the many gems in the Everyman's Library. They publish many nobel prize winners and old classics. Back to this novel, i found the characters rich and unique. The story never bogs down at any time and it was a joy to read. Its about freedom in the north for former black slaves, the work it takes to me an equal among whites, leaving all the southern baggage behind but at a cost of the sence of family. Ony after returning south do they realize what they are missing in their lives.
This is an excellent and beautiful story.
SummaryAdd a Summary
While trying to hide his Southern working class roots Macon Dead, an upper-class black businessman, insulates his family from the danger and despair of the rank and file blacks with whom he shares the neighbourhood. The plan drives his son, nicknamed "Milkman" into the arms of a violent, lower-class woman, and into a clandestine circle of blacks who repay white violence in kind.

best point guard in the league? cp3 or d will?
over the last few yrs most experts have been pretty clear and open about who they think is the best point guard in the league. this season i have seen d will take his game to another level. now i will also give cp3 his credit, because he is an all star and he plays like one, however i dont think that the race has been this close before. d will has taken that utah team and carried them into the thick of the western conference playoffs with out their all star carlos boozer, cp3 still had d west, peja and posey as a great clutch shooter. though statistically cp3 has had a better season, how about the fact that d will has won the matches against cp3 by like 10-3... or around there, it overwhelmingly favors d will, so my question is, is cp3 the best pg int he league today? and who will be the best in 3 yrs? here my list of the top 10 pg
1) cp3
2) d will
3) tony parker
4) c billups
5) steve nash
6) mike bibby
7) devin harris
8) jason kidd

Paul is the better player, Williams is the better leader. I like Paul more right now but if I had a team I'd rather have Williams leading it.
90% of the time Paul is better (this is where his speed comes in) but I wouldn't take CP3 when he goes head to head with D-WIll. The Jazz are 11-2 against the Hornets with Williams and Paul leading them and in everyone of those games Williams owns Paul, that's where Williams' size and strength come in.
Their both incredibly quick but Paul has a step on Williams, but Williams has a step on Paul with his Size and strength. Plus Williams is a more pure shooter (long range and short range) Williams drives to the hoop better, has more knowledge of the court and like his tattoo says "No Guts No Glory" and I love that about him.
As of right now CP3 is better than D-Will but once Paul looses a step in his speed in a few years he'll be just like every other Point Guard in the league (getting passed by the younger guys), where as Williams will just keep getting better. That's why I would give my team up to Williams and not Paul, you have to think long term.
I'll admit CP3 is amazing but Deron Williams has done more for the Jazz then Paul has done for the Hornets. Williams has already gone to the western conference finals and soon to the Championship, Paul hasn't even come close.
This whole season Paul has had the help of West, Stojakovic, Posey, Chandler and has the same record as the Jazz who are this far with Boozer out all year(knee surgery) and Kirilenko out most the year(ankle surgery).
For what Williams has done for the Jazz is alot more impressive than what Paul has done for the Hornets.
Chris Paul is the best point guard in the leauge. he should have been MVP last season also MVP of the 2008 all-star game. he took the team to the best record in team history that year too. he play's on a team of nobody's and even made an all-star out of one. Deron Williamshe doesn't even come close to Paul's level.
A Yahoo! User Mar 21, 2009 12:55 PM Flag
Right now CP3 is #1 and D-Will is #2 but Williams will have the better career of the two. #3 goes to Chauncey Billups, 4 to Jason Kidd and 5 to Tony Parker or Devin Harris. I do believe that in a few years Rose will be among the elite point guards, he's just not there yet.
One more thing I noticed people argueing on here saying that the ESPN analysists/experts are all saying that CP3 is better than Williams and will some day be as good as Magic Johnson and John Stockton. For one that is a lie, I heard them go with Deron Williams a week ago to have the better career, two nobody and I mean nobody will ever come close to John Stockton or even Magic Johnson ( not even Deron Williams). Stockton's steals and assists record will NEVER be broken. So don't tell me that experts are saying Chris Paul will be as good as them, I seem to recall them saying that same thing 10 years ago about Jason Kidd, 6 years ago about Steve Nash, 3 years ago about Gilbert Arenas and now once again they're saying that about Paul and Williams. Even though CP3, D-Will, Kidd, Nash, Arenas all are amazing PG's they will never come anywhere near as good as Stockton or Magic Johnson.
Like I said at the first CP3 is better than Williams now and probably will be for the next 2-3 years but after that it'll be D-Will and he will have the better overall career of the two.

what everyone seems to be forgetting, is that next year, when gilbert arenas is healthy, he will definatly be in the top 5. Hes been injured all season so everyone has forgotten about him....
sure, they got made a blockbuster deal to get kevin garnet ray allen to help out paul pierce.... oh wait that was boston.... yeah boston did that and barely won....
maybe top 10, but definitely not top 5
Mike Bibby is ahead of Harris
He desrves a 6 or higher because he turned a 60 losss Franchise into a possible 50 win team
Chris Paul, hands down #1. No one else all that close. Deron Williams is good, but his numbers are slightly inflated by Utah's system.

In database systems, fields are the smallest units of information you can access. In spreadsheets, fields are called cells.
Most fields have certain attributes associated with them. For example, some fields are numeric whereas others are textual, some are long, while others are short. In addition, every field has a name, called the field name.
In database management systems, a field can be required, optional, or calculated. A required field is one in which you must enter data, while an optional field is one you may leave blank. A calculated field is one whose value is derived from some formula involving other fields. You do not enter data into a calculated field; the systemautomatically determines the correct value.
A collection of fields is called a record.
(2) The phrase in the field refers to any geographical location other than the factory or office where a product was created. Similarly, a field representativeis an employee who represents a company in distant locations.
(3) In video terminology, a field is one of many still images that make up a moving picture. A field is similar to a frame, but is displayed twice as fast and is half the vertical resolution.

The placement seems odd: one has to walk in the landscaping to reach the charger.
Picture doesn't show how close it is to the curb. It is an easy reach without going into the landscaping.
Ah. Is the general public allowed to use these chargers? Do the police have electric vehicles?

Key Bible Verse: Be good husbands to your wives. Honor them, delight in them. As women they lack some of your advantages. But in the new life of God's grace, you're equals. Treat your wives, then, as equals so your prayers don't run aground. (1 Peter 3:7,The Message)
Dig Deeper: Ephesians 5:21-33
Grace is desiring the best for your spouse, even when they may not deserve it. I know, because I married an angel. She married an idiot.
When we drove away from our wedding reception, Darcy didn't realize she was riding next to a man who likes to go down dead-end roads just to make sure they truly lead nowhere. She was holding the hand of a man whose dreams consistently eclipsed his abilities to make those dreams come true. She also married a man who prided himself as a party waiting to happen, which is fine when you're hanging out with friends on Saturday night but annoying when you're trying to make a living while raising kids.
Fortunately, Darcy and I had a kernel of something that would grow into the defining feature of how we process life together. Its presence in our marriage was in spite of us. In fact, our marriage didn't have a chance without it.
We had grace.
Had we not had God's grace going in, or picked it up along the way, I feel certain that after 40 years of marriage, we wouldn't have much of a love story to tell. At best we'd have a "like" story, but probably it would be a "loathe" story.

One of my most anal habits is to over prepare for a project. Say i'm asked to paint a room, it will take me at least !/2 hour to even consider getting the paint out; while i prep the room to the 'n'th degree. Most of the time she bears with my ritualistic behavior, but there have been times
when she's joined in the 'process' to hurry me along to completion. Thanks for bringing them to my attention, so i can deal with them today. Her 'putting up' or 'extending grace' with me is so appreciated. i pray that i can minimize them for her benefit in the future. Oh, heavenly Father,
assist me in this daunting task. in Jesus name i pray, Amen.

Very good and VERY hot for a Jalapeno. I pickled a bunch and took to work to share and even my co-workers said they where extremely hot.

No stronger advocate for the people than Senator Jeanie Forrester
To The Daily Sun,
I will proudly cast my vote on Nov. 4 for Senator Jeanie Forrester, and I would ask that you will consider voting for Jeanie as well.
There is no elected official currently in office who has been a stronger advocate for the people. She listens to what her constituents have to say and studies the issues. For the past four years, Jeanie stood beside those of us who fought against the of Northern Pass and Jeanie helped us protect our property rights when Northern Pass threatened the use of eminent domain.
Sen. Forrester also listened to her constituents and determined that the Site Evaluation Committee was not functioning properly, and sponsored legislation (SB-99 and SB-245) to revamp the make-up of the Site Evaluation Committee. Jeanie successfully sought bi-partisan support, which was key in ensuring the success of this bill. Jeanie knows how to build partnerships, not put up partisan walls.
I know that Sen. Forrester's motto is "Let's Keep Jeanie," but I say, "Where Would We Be Without Jeanie?"

We've decided to vote for Dave DeVoy for Belknap Co. commissioner
To The Daily Sun,
We have been reading avidly your letters to the editor regarding political candidates. After much research, and checking websites, (not listening to political ads), we have decided that Dave DeVoy would be the best person to have as county commissioner. There has been so much infighting and misunderstanding between the commissioners and the convention that now I understand which is which. However, the fighting must end now. We need a commissioner who is willing to use common sense with our tax dollars. Why hasn't that been happening until now?
Dave DeVoy wants to reduce the amount of money spent on the administration and use it for the rest of the county needs. He understands that "public" money is our money, not other people's that can be squandered. We expect our money to be used wisely by the government. So does Dave.
Promoting efficiency is one way to cut back. Government is supposed to serve the people. As county commissioner, Dave will work to improve the transparency and respect our need to know.
As taxpayers, we need to be active in controlling the cost and scope of government, and that's what Dave DeVoy stands for. Therefore, we support Dave DeVoy for County Commissioner.

I want to vote for a state legislator who matches my interests
To The Daily Sun,
I have moved four times in the last five years. Each time, I make it a huge priority to get to my new town hall and register to vote. It is a right that I do not take for granted. I encourage young voters and all women to learn about their candidates and make the effort to get out to vote on election day.
I often hear people say that they get sick of the campaign and they can't wait until it's over. I sometimes hear people say that they don't know about the candidates and can't bother to vote. Believe it or not, I have heard women say that they leave it up to their husbands to make the decision about who to vote for. This way of thinking has to change and I write this letter in hopes that people will realize that voting is not an inconvenience, but a civil right and a privilege. Voting is our passage to our democracy. You, as a citizen, have the opportunity and responsibility to make change happen for yourself, for your community, for your state and your country. That is power.
According to U.S. Census Bureau and its site called Voting Hot Report, "the national voting rate in 2012 — a presidential election — was 61.8 percent, while the national voting rate in 2010 — a congressional election — was 45.5 percent. For 2012 the voting rate in New Hampshire (69.4 percent) was higher than the national voting rate of 61.8 percent." So, good for New Hampshire!
While New Hampshire's voting record is good, we still can always achieve better, and it is up to you. Don't be afraid or embarrassed to educate yourself about voting procedures. The League of Women Voters of NH has a great site with loads of information about voting, registration and even sample ballots specific to your town for the current election. Check it out at http://lwvnh.org/elections.html. Once you go there, you can learn about the candidates and the platforms that they stand on. The state site at http://www.gencourt.state.nh.us/ will provide you with your state legislator's voting records.
Since I live in Meredith, I want to vote for a state legislator who matches my own interests. Lisa DiMartino is up for re-election and I plan to vote for her. She is the kind of representative that one can talk to easily and know that you will be listened to. I like Lisa's voting record and I appreciate her passion for the same interests as I have concerning healthcare and for people who experience disabilities.
If you live in Gilford or Meredith, Lisa DiMartino will be on your ballot and I recommend you vote for her. Get out and vote.

N.H. voters can show they don't scare that easily
To The Daily Sun,
From the anti-Kathy Rago mailer I received this week I'm guessing Ray Buckley's minions at New Hampshire Democratic Party headquarters are running out of tinfoil hats. Hilariously invoking both the "all-purpose evil" Koch Brothers and the poisoning of babies, the mailer makes clear that the Hosmer campaign is in full desperation mode. Given his Senate record, I'm not surprised.
The Democrats' low opinion of voters shines through in their propaganda. On one side of the mailer they misrepresent three of Rago's votes from 2011. Two (HB-1 and HB-2) were budget bills. Like all such bills, tough decisions had to be made. While it's easy to manufacture out-of-context one-liners to score cheap political points, the reality is that funding state government requires weighing priorities, making tough decisions, and operating the state within the means of taxpayers. The budget Kathy Rago voted for did just that. Despite what Buckley & Co. would have us believe, our social safety net remains secure and the doors to our universities remain open.
The other bill the Democrats twist to partisan purpose is HB-370. A fair reading of that bill shows Rago voting to strengthen, not weaken, the law. But when reality doesn't fit in their 5 1/2 by 8 mailer, the Dems choose the party line over the truth. Maybe they think no one will notice.
What I couldn't help notice was the other side of the mailer, featuring a baby being fed, and a jar of baby food marked with a skull and crossbones. It's a visual worth of Khrushchev. The issue at hand is a vote on banning BPA from baby food jars. Here again, reality contradicts the party line.
Angela Logomasini, a senior fellow at the Independent Women's Forum, writing in Forbes magazine pointed out that BPA bans are a danger to public health: "Resins that line food containers made with BPA prevent the development of deadly pathogens in our food supply, protecting consumers from potentially deadly bacteria like E. coli. Because there aren't good alternatives to BPA resins, if passed into law, BPA bans could increase food spoilage and serious food-borne illnesses."
A comprehensive review has found that BPA is safe. The U.S. FDA, the European Union, Japan, Canada, and the World Health Organization agree on that. But what do they know? Buckley and Hosmer know better ... or at least they want to scare voters into thinking so.
Democracy doesn't run well on fear. In a couple of weeks we'll have the opportunity to show Buckley, Hosmer, and their puppet-masters at DNC HQ that New Hampshire voters prefer facts to fear mongering.
I'm voting for Kathy Rago because I want an adult decision-maker representing me. I know she won't treat me like Buckley's and Hosmer's spoon-fed infant.

Under Hassan, N.H. has taken unfriendly tone toward business
To The Daily Sun,
On Oct. 12 the Pentagon released a comprehensive plan, "2014 Climate Change Adaptation Roadmap" for the U.S. military to deal with the immediate threats to national security arising from climate change, including increased risks from terrorism. ISIS has, for example, used water shortages to increase its power and recruit young men displaced from farms by drought.
This plan points out that rising temperatures and sea levels along with more intense weather events will increase the spread of infectious diseases, poverty, food shortages, and mass migrations. These predicted effects of climate change will trigger global instability and must now be an integral component of military planning.
Both Senator Jeanne Shaheen and 1st District Congresswoman Carol Shea-Porter have emphasized our need to address climate change as a national security issue. In contrast, their opponents in the upcoming election, Scott Brown and Frank Guinta, have opposed measures to address climate change.
Jeanne Shaheen and Carol Shea-Porter march in step with the U. S. military on climate change.
Join me in voting for them on Nov. 4.

Rose ID - Rambler?
I had originally posted in the "Name this Rose Forum" but it was also suggested that I cross-post here since this is where many of the old rose experts hang out.
My wife's great aunt had a rose in her yard for many, many years. She recently passed, and before the house was sold I was given the task of getting a cutting to pass the rose on to her family. (I have the greenest thumb in the family.....) I was able to successfully get one rooted, and have since gotten several more cuttings from that plant rooted and sent out to my wife's family members. I'd love to be able to put a name to this rose, just so we know what it is. Here's some info on the rose.
The canes seem to get about 7-8 foot long, and are quite floppy. It got extremely large and bushy in her yard, I've kept it cut back pretty heavily. Last fall I took it to three canes since I switched trellises. Two lived, which are the ones you see flowering.
The pictures portray it as a bit more of a hot pink than it is, but it's not a cherry red. I have some red double knockouts close to it, and the color is entirely different.
There isn't really any scent associated with the flowers.
It is very prone to mildew/blackspot. Especially once it flowers. The leaves are now dusty white, with spots on them. (the pictures were taken at the end of June)
One variety that was mentioned in my other thread was Excelsia. There's a lot about the rose that seems like it might fit that family, but things that don't quite fit (the color for one)
I'd appreciate any thoughts you have!
Check out 'Dorothy Perkins,' on HelpMeFind Roses (See link).
Here is a link that might be useful: 'Dorothy Perkins' at HelpMeFind
Could it be Crimson Rambler (aka Turner's Crimson Rambler - UK name)? There was a thread on this forum recently that included discussion of the difference between Excelsa and CR. Your rose appears to have the bristly peduncles of CR. I see there was some discussion on your post on the other forum re the precise colour, but I note the colours of both seem to photograph in a wide range of red/purpley/crimson tones. I also note there's an Super Excelsa (or some such name) variant that may be more on the purpley side, like yours appears to be. However, I think those bristly peduncles may push it to being CR, along with CR being said in all references to be particularly mildew prone, while being tough enough to survive it. It is also said to be unscented, unlike Excelsa. It was introduced in the UK, and a couple of years later into the US, in the 1st decade of the 20th Century. Sorry I don't know how to post a link, but the thread was started around July 2nd by margot, and entitled 'My Crimson Rambler'. :-)
I've posted a link to photos of Crimson Rambler on HMF so you can compare for yourself. It certainly seems like a strong candidate.
Here is a link that might be useful: Crimson Ramblers on HelpMeFind
jerijen - I'd considered Dorothy Perkins, but everything I read indicates that rose has a strong fragrance. This rose doesn't have a fragrance.
"bristly peduncles" there's a phrase I would have never known even existed before today... :) I've attached a pic I took today. I see thorns on the pedicel, but not the peduncle. But to be honest, I don't really know my peduncle from my pedicel beyond what google tells me...
It can be hard enough to identify some of these ramblers in person; doing so from photos is a frustrating excercise. The color in the photos is wrong for 'Excelsa' but I know how difficult it is for cameras to get shades of red correct and we need to take that into account. I think it is safe to rule out 'Dorothy Perkins' which is more of a "bubble gum" pink. I think we can also rule out 'Turner's Crimson Rambler' as the pedicels on this rose have a scattering of bristles while TCM looks like a mini bottle brush.
So from the pedicles it appears to be 'Excelsa'. The color of 'Excelsa' is variable. Flowers can start out bright red and open fully to show a tiny ring of stamens. As the plant continues to flower though, the color changes to more of a "dusty" pink and the flowers don't open completely.
In this photo of 'Excelsa' note the scattering of glandular bristles on the pedicel but also notice that the reverse of the guard petals is almost white towards the receptacle. You can also check to see if there is a single thorn at the base of the peduncle. 'Dorothy Perkins', for instance, has a double thorn there.
So, as I have said it can be difficult to identify some of these old ramblers, but with the attention to some of the small details it can become easier. This is probably 'Excelsa' although the color in the 'close up of flowers' photo is incorrect.
Apparently you posted while I was still composing my previous post. So I have to say that those double thorns would lead me to believe that this may not be 'Excelsa'. I would say that it needs further study.
BTW: mailing cuttings is not hard and I do it almost every year. Take cuttings of a stem that has flowered or an older stem with several laterals on it that have flowered. Wrap them in a damp paper towel and put them in a gallon freezer bag. Send them priority mail.
I would have said 'Excelsa' (="Red Dorothy Perkins"). I see we suddenly have two threads mentioning "Seven Sisters" going. Just to clarify: Most parts of the USA seem to have a rose that locals call "Seven Sisters." Nearly all of them have the wrong rose -- De La Grifferaie or Russelliana in the North, Tausendschoen, Dorothy Perkins, or Excelsa (Red Dorothy Perkins) in the South, or, often, just "the rose that Grandma grew and we've always called it that." The "real," original 'Seven Sisters' is Rosa multiflora platyphylla, as painted by Redoute. It is marginally cold-hardy to Zone 7, very strictly once-flowering, a moderate climber. Its foliage is unique, and probably the easiest way to determine whether you've got the "real thing." Leaves are large, with the leaflets convex-shaped (like the top half of a pillow) rather than lying flat. Also, the leaves are noticeably fuzzy on their upper surface, not smooth or shiny. Stipules are quite fringed, as in all multiflora types. The real thing also tends to make highly zig-zagged stems. So I agree that the rose pictured in this thread is not the "real" 'Seven Sisters'. I don't grow Excelsa, so don't know about the lack-of-fragrance thing.
Sorry, last decade of 19th Century - don't know where I got the other date from. Re. colour again, a reference to CR in a Gertrude Jekyll article indicated it had a 'purple taint' - seen as a fault at the time, even though she was generally enthusiastic about it. She said it was 'improved' if you looked at it with the light behind it. It was apparently the reddest climber yet seen at the time, and thus quickly became hugely popular and influential in breeding, so quite an interesting back-story if this does turn out to be your family rose, TWG. Trospero seemed very sure that ANY suggestion of purple ruled out Excelsa and that the colour of DP wasn't right either - I don't know anything about that, but one other point that might help - check out the stipules. On the first page of pix for Crimson Rambler on HelpMeFind, when you go to Photos, there's an old black & white photo of them (the feathery outgrowths on either side of the leaf stem where it meets the main stem). On closer inspection, I do believe I see identical stipules in your third pic!! There's also another photo of them further on in HMF's Photos with someone's hand displaying them. I don't know if DP or Ex or any other possible candidates have these, perhaps someone else knows? Thanks, Rosefolly for putting in that link; I am such a techno-dumdum.... Boncrow, one of the many other names for CR was Ten Sisters (in Chinese), I don't know why. TWG, did you manage to find that earlier thread? There were terrific photos on there of CR and Ex... Oh yes, and Super Excelsa I now see was a 1986 introduction, so I guess that would definitely rule it out as your wife's great-aunt's rose (am trying desperately to do the maths, but the brain is not being very cooperative at the moment...)? :-) :-) Comtesse
Oh blimey, got me pedicels an' peduncles mixed up, what a silly billy....You are quite right, the bristles are on the pedicels, NOT the peduncles, TWG! My last post crossed with the previous four. All very interesting. CapeRoses, I was looking at TWG's 3rd pic where the pedicels look much more like those in the close-up on HMF; on the more recent one of TWG's with the spent bloom they have lost that distinctly red colour; as for the degree of bristliness, from the earlier pic they seem to me to be maybe somewhere in between those in your Excelsa pic and those on the HMF Crimson Rambler pic?? - though, as you say, it can be awfully tricky comparing individual photographs... Interesting about those double thorns, though; I can't see if CR/TCR has these or not from any of the photos. Does anyone here actually grow it? Margot? Neroseman?
'Chevy Chase'
It took me a while, but the description above seems to indicate that the rose is the rare 'Chevy Chase' released into commerce in 1939 by Hansen. It is a fine rose and well worth preserving.
Here is a link that might be useful: 'Chevy Chase' on HMF
I grew Chevy Chase for years and I am confident this is not the rose TWG1572 has. Chevy Chase is always an unmistakable deeply saturated cherry red color that catches the eye from across the room or the garden. Not only is the color wrong, but also Chevy Chase grows with a large number of long canes all coming from a central crown, easily trained into a fan. Very thorny, too. I am including a picture so that you can see the difference. The color in the photo below is just a bit pinker than the color in real life, though it is close. There is no purple undertone. Also, unlike TWG1572's rose, Chevy Chase was not prone to mildew in my garden where mildew is a frequent problem. I can't address the blackspot issue accurately because blackspot pressure is low here.
Chevy Chase
This post was edited by rosefolly on Mon, Jul 14, 14 at 13:19
Could it be Minnehaha ? Or is it too red. Don't think it's excelsa. Had that one a lifetime & it just doesn't look exactly right to me. Haven't seen Minnehaha except on pictures ? Not knowledgeable to judge on specifics. But I'll compare the detail with my currently flowering excelsa
Thanks, Rosefolly, I think you are correct that I jumped to a conclusion and that this needs further study. I checked my Chevy Chase and have to agree that the leaves are wrong, the stipules are not fringed and my plant from Vintage Gardens has two tiny thorns on the leaf stem that should help with the identification. I absolutely agree that CC has a very distinctive red that has a kind of fluorescence to it.
These red ramblers are all mixed up in commerce. Is it Chevy Chase, Red Dorothy Perkins, Excelsa, Crimson Showers, or ....
FWIW, it looks a lot like a red sport of a feral rose that grows near my house. The pink version is rampant in wild-formerly-cultivated areas all over this part of the country, and it sports to white and/or red with regularity. One way to ID Dorothy Perkins and her sports in our area is to wait and see how badly the rose mildews ... here, mildew in summer is VERY uncommon except on lilacs, peonies and Dorothy Perkins and her sports.
Here is a link that might be useful: Blog post with photos of feral roses.
I will just mention that at least one HMF photo of 'Arcadia' seems to show a double-thorn. I also think the flowers look similar, but dunno about peduncles and pedicels...?
No mention of fragrance. Rose color in all these photos is hard to judge.
Whatever the name, though, it really is a nice-looking rose...
Good luck,
Here is a link that might be useful: HMF photos of 'Arcadia'
OP here again. I've been watching this thread, and appreciate all the thoughts people have had. Next year, I'll take some pictures of the flowers next to a color wheel or something that will allow a more accurate reference. In the meantime, IâÂÂll try and do some more reading up on roses. What I think I know from this thread.
My Rose: Hot pink/red color, no scent, blooms once, mildews heavily after bloom, double thorns, bristly pedicil, smooth peduncle.
Excelsia: Color seems close, but double thorns may rule it out.
Ruled Out:
Crimson Rambler: Not enough bristles on pedicel. Color seems a bit too light.
Dorothy Perkins: fragrant rose, pink is too light.
Chevy Chase: Deep saturated red color. Not prone to mildew. Wrong leaves, stipules, and thorns.
Minnehaha: Seems too pink.
Does this pretty well sum it up? If so, IâÂÂll try and dig a bit deeper on the roses left on the âÂÂpossibleâ list.
Thanks to everyone for their help and input! This has been an interesting journey.

So Modern and Chic
Karen from Perrinton, MI – Verified Buyer
I have had so many compliments on this. Few have seen anything like it and when I have all 3 flames going, it really does look like a " for real" fireplace but PORTABLE! I have it sitting on a trunk that I just pull around to wherever I want it. I do wish the gel fuel was just a bit less expensive, though.
Sparta Loft Indoor/Outdoor Fireplace
Delilah LaSaint from El Sobrante, CA – Verified Buyer
I purchased this item because I have an existing fireplace that I no longer used. This item fit the opening perfectly. It gave my fireplace an updated look. I am able to enjoy the look of fire without worrying about fumes, or pollution going into the air. This portable fireplace has a nice contemporary look. I am very pleased with my purchase.
Beautiful Fireplace
crystal from Joppa, MD – Verified Buyer
I love my fireplace. This is the second one that I own. Great for outside backyard. It really gives it that warm feeling and feels warm too. Heavy and sturdy. Can withstand the outdoor elements. Just need a cover it when not in use to keep it looking new.
nice for the money
Joan from DeKalb, IL – Verified Buyer
Ordered this to add some ambiance to a bedroom. I have to say it is well made and looks beautiful when lit. It is heavy, so no worries about it being knocked over. The only down side is you can only light it when it is very chilly in the room. It gives off a lot of heat.
Beautiful Ambiance
Emmy from Crofton, MD – Verified Buyer
I got this to go in the master bedroom, however it looks amazing as a centerpiece on my dining room table. The gel inserts are expensive so I'm not going to use the fireplace as often as I would like.
Taka from San Jose, CA – Verified Buyer
Very easy to assemble and it looks really nice in our living room. The reason why we gave 4 stars, not 5, is because we still have not found gel fuels which gives less ador. Gel fuels we bought separately gives particular ador when they burn so we want to have them burn inside the room maybe only for a hour or so... However we were not looking for a heating equipment but something which gives a nice and stylish look to our comtemporary looking living room so we are happy.
I love the fireplace
Janet from New York – Verified Buyer
I love the fireplace. It give a good atmosphere. I just don't like that the gel fuel you buy for it runs about 45 min and the fuel needs to come down in price.
Manuel from milwaukee, WI – Verified Buyer
Perfect for a loft. Gives out a lot of heat even with one can lit. This fireplace is also compatible with real flame 13 oz product. Highly recommended.
I love it!
Michelle from Fort Worth, TX – Verified Buyer
Brought back the eleganance to my home. Could not be happier. Purchase was easy and delivery was swift.
Just Beautiful!!!
Chrisse from Brooklyn, NY – Verified Buyer
Not only is this fireplace pleasing to look at it actually warms my room...There are no fumes, smoke, or foul odor.... I wish I had room for one in my living room

Read in January, 2010
This is a fascinating book. I was interested in it because it deals with customs and recipes from Southeastern Kentucky where my family is from. I am going to read the prequel to this one. I will say that some of the recipes were newer and less indicative of Appalachian culture than I expected. I wish I could discuss this one with my sister as it surely brings back a lot of memories.

I am very sorry to learn of the passing of Max Khan. He was an articulate, passionate, caring and dynamic leader who will be missed.
Max was elected to his third term on Oakville Town Council in 2014. He served the residents of Oakville as the Ward 6 Town Councillor. He also anticipated running as the federal Liberal candidate for the riding of Oakville North-Burlington.
One of the most vivid memories I have of Max was a speech he gave in Burlington on December 6 at a memorial for the women who were killed and wounded in the Montreal Massacre 25 years ago. He was inspiring.
My thoughts and prayers go to Max's family, friends, Oakville Mayor Rob Burton and Oakville Town Council.
