Dr. Joanna Dolgoff, a local pediatrician and expert on childhood obesity, provides tips on increasing our kids' play and exercise time outside of school so they get at least an hour of active time each day.
With the steady increase in academic and financial pressures, play time and physical education are facing cuts in schools throughout the country. "A lot of schools don't have playgrounds conducive for active play," says Joanna Dolgoff, M.D., a Long Island-based pediatrician. "Communities need to start rallying together to start talking about this need and letting schools know that this is important."
Here, Dr. Dolgoff offers her expert insights on why play time and exercise are so important for our children and how we as parents can keep them active outside of school hours.
Play helps a child develop in every single sphere of life. The more kids move around, the more calories they burn, and that's important in the midst of the obesity epidemic.
Kids who play more also have more social interactions, which help them cognitively. Plus, when children are more active, they can get rid of that extra energy inside of them, leading them to be able to focus better in school and ultimately do better in school.
Kids who are active also tend to have a better emotional outlook. They tend to be not as depressed or anxious, and part of it is because they're outside more, interacting with nature.
The number one thing that a parent can do is model healthy behaviors, from when kids are very young. If children grow up seeing their parents enjoying exercise, they get the message that it's important and fun and they want to do it too. My kids see me going for runs on the weekend and they want to come with me, because they look at it as something fun to do. My son and I (he's 9), we ran a 3K together last month. If he saw me complaining and moaning about it, he wouldn't have gotten that message that running is fun.
It's also about planning active family outings from an early age, whether you're going for hikes in the woods or bike rides in the local parks. One time my family and I went to one of the parks on Long Island and we brought my daughter's tricycle. She did 3 miles on that tricycle because my son was on his bike, I was jogging, and she wanted to keep up. We need to give kids that opportunity for exercise, to plan those types of family outings and activities and show them we love it.
For parents of older kids, it's important to schedule active activities into their days. With all of the different after-school piano lessons, religious lessons, etc., we need to make sure there's time for exercise too. Make it a priority, whether it's getting them into a sport or a one-on-one program.
Remember that it doesn't have to be an hour at a time. If a kid gets 20 minutes in the morning, 20 minutes here, and 20 minutes there, it adds up throughout the day. It can be overwhelming to do 60 minutes at a time, and kids may not want to do the full hour at once. But you get just as many benefits when you split it up throughout the day.
There are so many parks in the city. Take them to the park and let them run around. Also, almost every cable system has different exercise classes on demand, like kickboxing, dancing, or Zumba. You don't have to put them on a treadmill. Put some music on and have a dance party.
And if you're in the city, walking up steps is a great thing to teach kids. Even if you live in the penthouse, take the elevator up to a few floors below yours and walk up a few floors from there. Take fewer cabs and subways and do more walking to your destinations.
Joanna Dolgoff, M.D., is a pediatrician, child obesity specialist, official spokesperson for the American Academy of Pediatrics, and the author of "Red Light, Green Light, Eat Right" (Rodale, 2010). Dr. Dolgoff has offices in Manhattan, Queens and throughout Long Island. She lives in Roslyn with her two children, ages 7 and 9.

My ONLY gripe so far with my new American Classic Commander 1911 is that the white paint in my 3-dot sights is slightly discolored, and not completely filled all the way. Makes for a weak sight picture.
So, I did some digging around YouTube of course, and stumbled across a very simple and seemingly effective way to do this....compliments of my buddy Pete from TheARMORYChannel, with whom Ive spoken with since were both local guys. For those who dont know who he is...Pete is a VERY simple, down to earth and hilarious Joe Shmoe with a dry sense of humor. And he knows a lot about DIY builds and small fixes of all sorts. Very handy fella
Basically he recommends taking a dental plaque scraper type tool (steel rod with a slightly curved sharp point) and simply picking out the white paint. Then, once the empty dish has all the paint removed as best you can....taking rubbing alcohol on a cotton swab and twisting/cleaning out all the leftover remains. Finally....once its dry....take some basic hobby bright white acrylic paint and gently dabbing it evenly to fill the cavity with the end of a toothpick.
Seems legit. Any better suggestions or improvements to this technique?

Hmmm like a homemade tritium for night sights? That sort of pigment has to be charged with a light though and only lasts a few minutes, correct? Seems kinda pointless to do that. I prefer plain bright white. Down the road I might spend the $150 on night sights...but for now this will cost me under $10
I'll post a before/after once the stuff ships to me later this week. Ordered the dental pick/paint from amazon
White crayon crushed up and pushed into the dots.
Is just like with watches, those luminous paints only last a couple hours at best and do need sunlight to activate/charge them. The more sun the brighter, Unfortunately not the longer... You can buy it by the bottle but it's very expensive unless you buy in bulk. You can also buy tritium tubes from watch part sources, from my understanding, and possibly superglu them into a sight from there? Not sure on logistics, might try it myself just out of curiosity.
some craft and hobby stores use to carry the glow in the dark paints. last time i saw some was on another gun forum and someone posted a link for it. it was made to use primarily on firearms. it was about $12 for half an ounce. now that may sound like a lot of money, but half an ounce would do a boatload of guns!
fingernail polish is highly visible in certain colors as well. dont forget to use a bit of clear lacquer to protect the paint.

Pool install in San Diego
We have decided to install a pool and spa and are interviewing pool contractors. I have been researching and reading the various posts, lots of good information. Wondering if anyone has had a pool/spa installed recently in San Diego and has any pool builder recommendations?
Also I have lots of questions, any info from folks that have installed pools would be greatly appreciated!
Varrious pebble surfaces pebbletec, vs wet edge vs stonescapes?
Heater 333,000 BTU or upgrade to 400,000?
Not recent, but Mission Pools in Escondido did ours 20 years ago and it's still in perfect shape. It's the only home project we ever did that went off without a hitch and this was a big project. I think they've been in business since the 1960's and hopefully their quality remains.
Kjsalga do you mind telling me what pool contractor you went with and are you happy with them? We are almost ready to sign the contract and I am nervous!
We are planning ~16x35 feet with a raised spa(coated in quartzite), quartzite coping, baja entry (covered with quartzite), tan colored concrete decking, Raised far end with sheer descent (water feature) and raised bond beam between one side of pool and fence so I can plant behind it.
I think I have decided to go with the white plaster with the quartzite on the Baja deck (I can still upgrade to pebble if I change my mind).

-pentair equipment:4x60 multi speed pump, 60 quad filter, 400,000BTU heater, salt generator

Anything else I should consider?

Made by Sonoma wine expert Carl Sutton, this is vermouth for sipping on a warm day, not necessarily for making cocktails. The flavors are perfect for a sherry-style food pairing. Dry, the almost austere profile that manzanilla drinkers die for, but with loads of orange peel and clove spice. I have heard of the famed Sunday afternoons in Spain where locals go to their neighborhood cafe and drink dry, almost sherry-like vermouth on tap before heading off to do their weekend shopping. Go to the store, get some olives, some cheese, some bread, and a can of mixed nuts, make a buffet, and open a bottle of Sutton Cellars Vermouth. It gets you excited about the sunshine and it makes you happy to be alive. (David Driscoll, K&L Spirits Buyer)

What roses do you have coming this spring?
After all this talk of (lack of) self discipline in buying roses, it's time to hear what everybody's got on order, received, or still buying. Inquiring minds want to know the names!! My list is below. You will note I have mentioned which ones are replacements for those that died on me either last yr or beyond. Also reasons why I ordered new ones. (hey, I'm just trying to justify why I ordered them!) LOL
Already here:

ELFI VON DASSANOWSKY - love that name and the coloring
PHILATELIE - it's a stripey! and I missed out on it last yr

REMEMBERING MICHAEL - my husband's name is MIchael

Local shopping:

Rogue Valley Roses:
BRITE BLUE - liked the looks, besides, had to make it worth ordering
CHIPMUNK -replacement
COLOR MAGIC - replacement
Breck's (on their 1/2 price sale in Oct):

EVELYN MAE - almost ordered last yr, love the pics on HMF
LITTLE DARLING - replacement
MOJAVE - still trying to get the correct rose (uh oh, is that an oxymoron... Hortico.. )
SCARLET RIPPLES - replacement
Thinking about:
NEW ZEALAND to replace dead one
CHOOSE LIFE looks interesting, but do I need it? Keep hoping it will sell out before I decide to hit the submit button some evening (when I'm buzzed on my gin & tonic)
Almost ordered a few from Heirloom but thankfully they sold out of all of them before I could make myself place the order.
Hmmm... I could've sworn there was more than this. Oh well, that's a good thing if there aren't any more!!! I think I did pretty good this yr!
So come on everybody... fess up! What do you have coming this season??
Oops I've done it again! But the Texas winter was so bleak this year and rose dreaming got me through it. With these orders I've increased my rose count to 97 on a 8100 sq ft lot. I'm shooting for 100 in the fall. Does anyone know how Distant Drums performs in North Texas?I want it in the fall.
But I digress, here's my list:
David Austin

Queen of Sweden
Mollineaux x 2
Princess Anne
Princess Alexandra of Kent
Cupcake miniature x2
Golden celebration
Antique Rose Emporium
Marchessa Boccella
White pet x2
La France
Mrs Dudley cross
Cecile Brunner
Madame Joseph Schwarz

Lost my mind whilst waiting for my roses to ship and went poking around at Wally World. I don't like the growth pattern on Hybrid Teas. But some have been so well touted for their bush form. I gave in.
Wally World and Home Depot body bags
Kordes Perfecta
Chrysler Imperial
Double delight
What is a rose lover to do? Temptation comes in many forms. Happy gardening y'all.

I am out of room and too old for many more roses-ha. I will have to dig up at least one rose to accommodate one of these new ones, and will squeeze the other two in somewhere.
From my favorite local nursery, I'm getting (just paid for them today) these three in 5 gallon pots. They'll be kept in a special greenhouse until I'm ready to pick them up and plant them:
Eyeconic Pink Lemonade
Love Song
I'm thinking of adding one more Evelyn to my collection of Evelyn's. Can't have too many of those fair creatures.
Nothing! I haven't ordered a single rose. I'm maxed out and need to plant of some of the pot ghetto. Come spring I'll see what doesn't make it through this winter from hell and replace them with the potted roses to try and get those numbers whittled down. After that we'll see. I can always pick up something locally if I find something gorgeous!
That's the problem for me. I can't really ordered early because I don't know what will or won't make it through winter. If everything lives then what do I do with the new ones? And I won't know if they'll live or die until sometime in late April when most all the mail order places have already stopped shipping. What's a roser to do?
I am supposed to get my 3 French imports from Vintage, and I ordered a Heathcliff from David Austin's. Anything else I get will be a local purchase. I am ordering other types of plants to replace any roses I have to get rid of due to non-improving rose rosette disease. I would like to get more of the ones that do well and get rid of the ones that don't, but since each year is different, so are the results of the season. It is hard to decide, but I would like to cull the herd down to a manageable number.
I had a weak moment of New Rose lust hit me earlier this winter and placed an order for roses I didn't "need" at all. After living here for 16 months, creating the garden spaces and moving about 30 roses plus countless perennials already, I still have possibly as many as 50 more roses to be moved over from my old place (now my son's) and know it will take Herculean efforts to get them all dug and transplanted before they break dormancy this spring. I should have someone give me a smack up the side of the head for purchasing new roses but I'm trying to build a garden with more bloom and little disease (I don't spray at all anymore.) I'm hoping I've researched and chosen well...in any case, these are coming from Chamblee's the first week in April:
Blue for You
Golden Celebration
Julia Child
Lemon Fizz
Purple Rain
Solero Vigorosa
Sugar Moon
Wild Blue Yonder
These are the roses that I ordered for spring:
Graham Thomas, Carding Mill, Tamora, Molineux, Scepter D'Isle, Munstead Wood, Lady of Shallot, and Queen of Sweden (So excited about these roses as I have been blown away by the incredible beauty of these roses from photos posted on GW. I hope they do well for me.)
Well Being, Laura, Playboy, Veteran's Honor, Tineke, OSO Lemon Zest, Over the Moon, Blue for You, St. Patrick, Double Delight, Porcelain Rose, Folksinger, and Quietness Hopefully, these will prove to be easy to grow roses and will look decent without spray.
Cupcake and Rainbow's End
I already got pots for them. Luckily, there was a clearance at my local garden center and I was able to get 2 gal plastic pots for $0.50/ea.
desertgarden561, you must love Bolero to be growing 3 of them in your garden. Does it do well for you? I was thinking about getting one. Is it blush or white? Some photos show it to be white and others blush.
I just couldn't resist a few more of the older style roses. My list is short, but if a couple plants had not suddenly died, it would be even shorter!
Ghislaine de Feligonde--hybrid multiflora
Felicia--hybrid musk
Boule de Neige --Bourbon
Eden climber (Meilland)--replacement
I'm quite excited about these new and different additions to my garden.
And there will be more roses from the local nurseries. Roses are always jumping into my shopping cart and insisting that I take them home. And then there is retail therapy, I buy roses the way other women buy shoes. It makes me happy. No self disipline here!
This is going to be a very well-mixed mix.
S and W: All but one are all to replace memorial roses that didn't perform well here.
White Out
Dee Lish (hate the name, wish they'd stick with Forget Me Not or one of the others)
Coffee Bean
Gourmet Popcorn
Angel Roses: (one also a memorial rose replacement)
Easy Does It
Plus one more as yet undesignated
Also, am first on the waiting list for Souvenir de Therese Levet - I'm so happy to find this one!
Edmund Roses: (both memorial rose replacements)
Little Mischief
This doesn't seem like many compared to some of your orders. I have a bunch in pots for Sophia's little playhouse garden and several others that just needed to be moved so it will keep me busy. I think that I will need to replace several after this winter so the undesignated rose will probably be a replacement.

I'm expecting to loose a number of plants this year due to the crazy winter we've been having. There are some plants that will be a 'replace immediately' if they don't make it.
Oops, almost forgot this one!
I had a BOGO coupon from David Austin and decided to give it a try. I've ordered:
Munstead Wood- also a memorial rose replacement
Molineux- for Sophia's yellow playhouse garden
These are both own root. Has anyone ever grown these own root before?
I pulled out three roses last year to start again with new roses. I kept just one, Julia Child. I have very little room for roses, so my order is small. Also aiming for disease resistance.
Brother Cadafael
Munstead Wood which was out of stock
Marie Pavie
Prairie Sunrise
The Fairy
Tickled Pink
All from Pickering. I was pretty disappointed about the Munstead Wood and I just didn't even look to see if anyone else had it. I didn't want to have to build another order at a second supplier. I'll have to try again next year, unless something else has my attention by then. [g]
Sorry, I posted it twice by accident, hitting the back button after I posted the first time.
In case, anyone else is trying to deal with these duplicate posts, I also wanted to mention that I tried to edit this 2nd post, twice, by adding just the words 'duplicate post', but it wouldn't accept it. It worked when I typed in a whole sentence.

With the drought and space considerations, I've been very conservative. These roses have already arrived and all but one are planted.
Reine des Violettes
Wild Edric (two)
Belinda's Dream
Souvenir du President Carnot
Hoag House Cream
Dr. O'Donel Brown
No. 92 Nanjing
Most of them are replacing roses I've taken out for disease reasons and one is filling an empty spot in Tea Rose Row (although I'm cheating since Hoag House Cream is actually a very early Hybrid Tea).

[NorCA 9B]
This is a great topic Beth. Thank you for starting it. I have only been planting roses for three years and my garden is small so I have no idea how I went from just 5 roses to 40 roses (I practiced a lot of self-discipline when I did the online orders. I don't think my husband believes me when I told him that :)
Here are my recent orders and they are all planted in the ground and have some small leaves.
Regan (ordered online, picked up):
- Julia Child (tree)
- Memorial Day (tree)
- St. Patrick (tree)
- Eden (climber)
- Veterans' Honor
- Firefighter
- Ingrid Bergman
- Scepter'd Isle
- Bella'roma
Summer Winds Nursery (local, one of my favorite stores but they don't carry a lot of varieties):
- Love's Promise
- Chrysler Imperial
J&P (ordered online, shipped):
- Black Magic
- Radiant Perfume
This is my first time order bare root roses and the result has been great except from J&P. Their price is higher and when I received the order I felt a bit disappointed. I ordered 2 Black Magic from them and the first Black Magic is at the right grade (similar to other nurseries) but the second Black Magic and Radiant Perfume's canes are really small. Their diameters are just about 1/2 the size of the first Black Magic's (see image). I'm not sure if this is the norm or not.
Anyway, I'm glad that I can order all those beautiful roses and can't wait to see when they bloom :)

Um, well, you really don't want to see the complete list of roses I've ordered this season, since I just broke the 200 limit with my last choices at Roses Unlimited. Remember that I'm in zone 5 where fussy pants roses I like are at risk for giving up the ghost (but you never know, they might not...), so there's always a need for replacement roses. What's hard is knowing when to quit and admitting a particular rose is not going to survive in my yard, or worse yet, category of roses (see russets). I'll give you a total number by vendor and hit a few highlights
Vintage (31- how can I resist when they list their new imports among their "unloved" roses)
The imports are of course the highlight here: Alexis Lepere, Soyeuse de Lyon, Emile Cramon, Julien Potin, Lord Beaconsfield, Duchesse d'Orleans, Francois Arago, Mme. Lierval, Paul Verdier, Silver Queen, Ave Maria, Prince Charles d'Arenber, Mme. de Stael. Fortunately many of these are HPs, so they have an excellent chance of surviving for me.
Rogue Valley (20)
Standouts are Golden Buddha, and the Bishop Darlington and Carlin's Rhythm combo I got enabled into by Jeri & Kim on GW. Oh, and I'm resolved that Ripples IS going to survive, even though it's a Le Grice mauve - I have Brite Blue and the Colwyn Rose coming as well though, since mauves are finicky in my yard
Chamblees (14)
Highlights are some new Kordes that look colorful as well as hardy - Plum Perfect, Savannah, Coco, as well as Coretta Scott King and ONE LAST TRY (famous last words) at Koko Loco and Blue For You (Hulthemias die amazingly fast in my yard)
Palatine (8)
Can we say picotee? Quo Vadis, La Rose Optimiste, Three Weddings, not to mention the stripes of Philatelie & Flaming Beauty
Long Ago Roses (4) - Granny Grimmetts, Clementina Carboniari (going for my 6th stalwart tea), and I have to replace Happy Butt (on purely the name). I'm also trying my fourth Oklahoma from here, hoping this'll be the one that survives.
Heirloom (36)
Notable for being the record-breaking 4th try on Black Pearl (no really, I have a new plan), but the first time on juicy little mauve/russets like My Choice and Moon Shadow, as well as stripes and picotees like Night Sky, Candyland, Night Light, Cajun Sunrise, and third time's the charm Gardens of the World
Burlington (26)
This order is rapidly becoming "Roses that Beth Can Grow and I Can't", or the "neener-neener" roses (obviously the taunting is from the roses, not Beth who is a lovely person) - I'm on the 2nd or third try each at Irish creme, Smoky, Jocelyn, Lavender Pinocchio, Double feature, Anvil Sparks, Black Tea, and Belle Epoque -wimpy russets and mauves I simply must give another try. Michael G has given me the hope to try Souv. de la Malmaison one more time, and Seil has talked me into Archduke Charles. At least I'm also ordering Autumn Damask, Cardinal Hume, Portland from Glendora, and Paul Neyron so there'll be some roses who actually WANT to survive in my zone.
Regan's (9)
I simply had to have Dark Night and the goofy Green Romantica, and I'm gambling that Pope John Paul II, Ebb Time, and Julio Iglesias will be more robust on grafted plants
Edmunds (8)
I got talked into the new collection of Doris Day, Best Kept Secret, and Anna's Promise, the latter of whom looks like a very nice rose DESPITE its blatant marketing connection to Downton Abbey
And the winner (so far)... drum roll...
Roses Unlimited (59)
OK, see - Pat gives a nice discount on a bulk order that I'm splitting with friends in my area, but some of them couldn't order this year so, um, well, I just HAD to help out didn't I? This one has the surprising honor of several Kordes roses that haven't survived well for me in 2 or 3 tries, all of which are in the flaming orange/pink/yellow family (a pattern here perhaps?): Seashell, Caribbean, Speelwark, Veldfire, and Limelight. Pat also talked me into some roses that had no HMF information or pictures that sounded intriguing - Rosy Cheeks, and Miss Betty from M. Williams.
OK, enough from me. Will post pictures next year of the survivors that bloom...
Bayarea-girl, I'm sure that other BLACK MAGIC will do ok. It's smallish, but looks like the ones we get from Hortico, so it should be ok. You're gonna love that rose! I'm not a huge red fan, but it's a real beauty!
Yowsers Cynthia! You sound like me about 4-5yrs ago! I'm not sure what temps Zone 5 has, but I assume it's colder than mine. I never lose roses to cold, I lose 'em to the hot summer temps. They fry and die a lot. Hope you don't lose very many of these! Have you tried potting up the ones that you've had trouble with? Mulch 'em really well too. Hey, you're gonna love DARK NIGHT! It's so unusual.
Palatine: Buxom Beauty, St. Patrick, Signature, Rina Hugo, Grande Amore, and South Africa(only one that I haven't grown before)
K&M: Tammy Clemmons 2, Jewel Grace, Louise Estes (favorite all time rose), Let Freedom Ring, and Crystal Palace....have several roses on fort. may have to rethink this rootstock if I lose a bunch of established ones due to this winter
None - No Roses Ordered, Thank You! Too much hassle, been there, done that. Will pick up a few container roses from Fred's Discount Store in a few weeks. They had some nice liter potted roses there the past few years (out of Canada...) They grew great. They even had the old J&P Rose from the mid-seventies, Evening Star. They were in deep pots, budded, probably as big or bigger then some of the twigs from Hortico.
I do want to get a few minis from Heirloom, we'll see. Good luck planting folks, you'll need it -
Oh, my! That is a lot of roses, Cynthia. I hope that you will have help planting them. It seems that when we order, we register only pleasant visions of the roses in bloom, and none of the hard work involved. Anyway, This winter weather makes it really hard to exercise any self-discipline.

I started ordering too early. Wish I had given it more thought and ordered fewer hybrid teas and instead ordered a few Griffith Buck roses and others that hopefully would do good in my zone. We'll see what happens next year. I won't be ordering near that many though, but I am still looking forward to it. I know I can recruit my hard working grandson to help, he loves earning extra money.

I have no previous experience with Bolero. I research, research, research roses, order, plant, then cross my fingers.
My front landscape, side yard front and back have been completely re-landscaped. My design called for five white roses in the area so unfortunately I could not purchase just one. I have two own root one-gallon on order for a total of 5. Bolero was the white rose that I was willing to make more of an investment in. White Pet would have likely been less risky, but for the space, Bolero is more appropriate.
I am actually experimenting with Clotilde Soupert, Marie Pavie, White Pet, Bolero, and Pure Perfume. I am eagerly awaiting the spring, and summer to see how they all fair in my garden.
Either recently arrived or coming this Spring to go into my mom's garden:
Distant Drums
Koko Loko (Replacing Angel Face)
Lavender Pinnochio
Brown Velvet
Dragon's Blood
Just Joey
Betty White
Julio Iglesias (replacing a Scentimental, hopefully it blooms more often)
Reine des Violettes
Boule de Neige
Gilbert Nabonnand
Autumn Damask
Reve d'Or
Lupe's Buttons
And either Purple Buttons, Indigo, or Munstead Wood, but she's undecided on a purple.
At this point pot culture/shovel pruning will be just about the only means of expanding besides a few tucked away spots where Hybrid Musks or vigorous Tea-Noisettes might do well. Mutabilis would be a great addition somewhere, but it might be too much rose at this point. Boule de Neige is getting a prime, large spot in the front I made by digging out a few Japanese Pittosporums recently and the white is a better fit than Mutabilis' range of color. I'd love to find space to carve out for Baron Girod de l'Ain as well just to give it a shot.
My mom recently found an article from the early 30s or late 20s from the local Santa Monica paper that is a list of recommended rose varieties for the area. It's very interesting to see a rose recommendation list in a newspaper with almost exclusively old garden roses and heavily tea influenced Hybrid Teas. Plenty of roses I hadn't heard of. Interesting to see what a little research can dig up. I'll try to get a scan of that posted for interested folk in Coastal California. It made us want to add to the list above!
Thanks Kousa for the encouragement to get help planting these, but my husband only appreciates the roses in limited doses, and isn't interested in gardening. Besides, gardening is my "ME" time, and it's therapeutic in many ways. I can plant about 30 roses on a good weekend day if they're not bareroots (they need bigger holes), so as long as I've decided where they go it's not that bad (assuming of course you're rose insane). I usually plan a day off per week in late April and early May if I can, and between that and a weekend day I can get the roses planted reasonably comfortably.
It's delightful to see these long lists of roses from everyone and not feel too much like an oddball, at least among rose enthusiasts. Beth, it's infinitely reassuring to hear that I sound like you at any point in your life, since it means I'm not totally insane (smile). I keep thinking I'm going to run out of space one of these days, but things stay smaller in zone 5 and so far so good. I have to admit it's also reassuring to see the number of replacements noted on your list, since I'd had the impression that roses were fairly indestructible in California. I forgot about the heat - we have dry heat and plenty of 90's and 100's too, but more water than in California. As for cold, it has gone well below zero most days throughout late December through last night, with surprisingly little break. Highs in the 20's had us peeling off coats today. This will definitely be the test year for winter survival, with very little snow, bitter cold, and a move to minimum protection on my part. I'd love to try potting roses, and I appreciate the suggestion, but there's no faster way to kill a rose in my yard than to pot it up. No kidding - I lost one of the two Dr. Hueys I potted up for the fun of it last summer, and that's like killing a philodendron inside (yep, killed plenty of those too). Thanks for the heads up on Dark Night - can't wait.
Hey, I don't feel quite so guilty now! Thank you Beth - great post!
I'm brand-spankin' new and overly enthusiastic. I'm tripling my rose collection this year... can't wait to see how it goes.

Considering others, on waiting lists for
Astrid Grafin von Hardenberg (I really want this one!)
Well my rose order is teenie tiny compared to some of you! Cynthia, I'm tired just thinking of unboxing that many roses, never mind planting them!!
From Roses Unlimited I have ordered teas for the first time,
Mrs Dudley Cross, Mrs. B. R. Cant, and Marie Van Houtte. Then because I can't go a year without adding an Austin I ordered Crown Princess Margareta. I plan to pick up my order so I'm sure a couple more will find there way in my roomy van!
Well, I really need to finish my garden this season so I can enjoy it for a few years before something "new and great" comes along. Most of my roses will come from K&M and a handful from Coolroses and a small handful from Roses Unlimited. To finish my HT's; 1 Snuffy, 1 Royal Amethyst, 2 Louise Estes, 2 Elina, 2 Grande Amore, 2 Crystalline, 4 Mavrik, 4 Marlon's Day, 4 Moonstone. Florabunda's; 1 Summer Snow, 1 Lady of the Dawn, 1 Stadt den Helder, 1 Julia Child, 2 Hannah Gorden, 2 Hot Cocoa, 2 Shelia's Perfume. Shrub/OGR/Climbers; 1 Colonial Days, 1 Abraham Darby (if K&M does Austins this coming fall), 1 Rosa Rugosa Alba, 1 4th of July. Mini/miniflora's; 1 Odessa, 1 Emma Grace, 1 Arcanum, 1 Cooper, 1 First Choice, 1 Autumn Splendor. I think that will take enough out of my wallet this year. This way I can get everything in the ground and start to really enjoying my roses again.
I'm just starting out and have a very small property. I just received Night Owl and Blue for You. I am expecting:
From Roses Unlimited:
Fire Fighter
Honey Bouquet
Saint Patrick
From Burlington Roses:
Annie Laurie McDowell (waiting list)
I ordered them after reading this forum and "Help Me Find Roses" for days on end. Oh, the anticipation of the first rose bloom!
Just 2 for me - Nevada and Alba semi-plena. Planted them at the edge of the wood....on a chilly north side facing open fields. I am never going to tame and formalise the wood so I am planting roses which have a similar tough and rugged character, to offset the wild caninas and briars which squeeze between the goat willows and ivy.
I have ordered from all three of those nurseries, Bellarosa. Regans sends grafted bare root plants. Angel Gardens and Burlington send bands. I rarely get bands here though because they can be very iffy going through the first winter. I've had a good experience with all three of these suppliers though.
My pot ghetto is still bigger than it should be, so I really have to restrain myself in terms of ordering new roses, but I couldn't resist to get a second 'Pope John Paul II' (know where I want to put it, hole already dug :-) !). This Hybrid Tea is doing so well for me and was giving me plenty of the most exquisite white very fragrant blooms in the last three years so that I just wanted to have another one.
With a little bit of a knot in the gut I ordered it from Jackson & Perkins, which is now under a new ownership and has not a good reputation anymore. I wanted an own-root rose and couldn't find it anywhere else but from them.
When they deliver a lousy plant then at least I tried!
Hortico (replacements for plants the lawn service hacked down):
White Pet
Cardinal de Richelieu
Miami Moon
Wisconsin Roses:
Tammy Clemons
Dr. John Dickman
Stephen Rulo
Olivia Rose
I am also waiting to see if I need to order new plants of Soroptimist International and Conundrum (more lawn service casualties), I won't know until the snow melts, and the plants break dormancy. I think the Conundrum is a goner...
Just three for me this year from online over Heirloom, then I'll be hunting at the local places for surprise finds after they re-open in March.
Mermaid; yes I have a designated place for her to take over! She can go hog wild!
Filing in my climbing space at the front of the house this year and laying out new beds; next year it's onto the shrub roses!
Charles Darwin - I'm one of those that likes that odd coloration that is so misrepresented in the promo materials
Fragrant Cloud - sucker for fragrance
Jude the Obscure - fragrance, size, how could I Say no?
Star of the Nile - my god that color...
Young Lycidas - bare own root - color, fragrance
Munstead Wood - bare own root - color, fragrance and everyone here can't stop raving about it.
Still considering Neptune, Lady Of Megginch (if it comes available on own root), Falstaff (I know... stingy, but I like the difficult ones, the bad boys if you will), and alec's red.

Well, I'm totally jazzed! Thought I was thru ordering. But then I looked at Burling's list and found out she's got EYES FOR YOU!! Holy cow! She's shipping it out tomorrow, along with HOT CHOCOLATE and HIGH SHERIFF! Yippee!! I can't wait to see how EFY is going to do this spring. If anybody else has been wanting it, she's got bands and gallons! I opted for the band, but I probably should've done the gallon. Oh well, it'll be fun to see it develop.
I also thought I was over but I just ordered one Benjamin Britten and three Gartentraume (the very nice pink DA lookalike by Tantau) from a local nursery. I actually just wanted the GTs for a new bed I'm preparing but then thought what the heck and ordered BB also, a rose which I have never tried before and I know it will be difficult to place. As if I didn't have about 30 unplaced roses in pots already...The only consolation is that when I buy from my local nursery the prices are very cheap and I know I will get a surprise rose as a gift also.
I'm curious about Munstead Wood. I looked at its picture and I think it looks nice but I saw other roses also have similar look but people don't rave about it.
Is it because of its fragrance, something like Peter Mayle rose? Or maybe it is one of the roses that is hard to take picture of correctly? I'm tempted to order it. Thanks.
Munstead Wood (photo by Jeanne Frolova)
I'm one of the posters pushing for Munstead Wood this past year. First, I adore its color and I do believe it is darker and richer than most of Austin's other reds--though I find it similar to Shakespeare 2000--but perhaps a bit deeper in color.
Second, I like its size and shape--a somewhat smaller Austin (about 3x3?)--there are so many more places I can use it. And it has a graceful shape. Although its color may be similar to Shakespeare 2000, Shakespeare 2000 is taller and much wider--in fact, it sprawls sideways in a rather awkward way. MW is more a shorter fountain shape.
Disease Resistance--MW seems to be quite good on resisting BS. That is VERY important in my garden. If a rose is not disease-resistant, I won't buy it. So far, my MW has better disease-resistance than my Shakespeare 2000 does.
Fragrance? I have no idea. I don't usually buy roses for their fragrances--except when I was setting up my Perfumed Path.
Rebloom--seems to be quite good on MW.
Of course, my MW is still relatively new in my garden, but so far, it is doing well, so I'm looking forward to seeing it bloom in my future gardens also.
I have MUNSTEAD WOOD, and for me it hasn't done a whole lot so far. It's in one of the areas where I need to add more organics and fertilizers, so I'm sure that explains it. But I do have SHAKESPEARE 2000 not too far from it, and that thing grows exactly as Kate says.... all wide and sprawly and gangly. Gets some pretty blooms tho. I just got my replacement TWILIGHT ZONE and put it where last yr's plant died. It's near the other two. I hope it does ok this time.
I'm hittin' the jackpot this week. My roses from S&W came Saturday; all potted up now. Got notice my NEIL DIAMOND and SUGAR MOON shipped out from Breck's. Also got notice something shipped out of NY a few days ago. I'm guessing it's my Hortico order. And just got an email that my RVR order went out. Oh, and Burlington Roses order should ship out today. I gotta go get more potting soil!!
Wow, just noticed it's sprinkling outside. We're supposed to get rain for a few days I think. Yay! We need it, but it means it'll be a bit til I can get out and pot these roses up!! Come on spring!
An updated list of arrivals to be, recent arrivals, or Fall 2013 additions to my my mother's garden or my small collection of potted roses (since plans change all the time):
Distant Drums
Koko Loko (Replacing Angel Face)
Lavender Pinnochio
Brown Velvet
Dragon's Blood
Just Joey
Abbaye de Cluny
Betty White
Julio Iglesias (replacing a Scentimental, hopefully it blooms more often)
Reine des Violettes
Boule de Neige
Gilbert Nabonnand
Rosette Delizy
Lady Hillingdon
Jacques Cartier
Lyda Rose
Jeri Jennings
Excellenz Von Schubert
Pride of Oakland
Buttercup (1930 HT)
Marie Pavie
Ambridge Rose
We're down to a handful of very sunny spaces left to be tapped here, but there are still quite a few places in the back along a fence in dappled shade where Hybrid Musks or Noisettes could happily grow. Felicia, Lupe's Buttons, and Reve d'Or are destined for some spot. Robert's Wondrous Ruthie, Prosperity, Danae, or Jaune Desprez could also find a home here.
This post was edited by ArbutusOmnedo on Thu, Feb 27, 14 at 2:06
I really wanted to add
Tattooed Lady
Teddy Bear
Julia's Rose
Royal Amethyst, and possibly
to my spring orders, and they're all at Heirloom - a few are available at other places but many are not (that I can find).
And it turns out Heirloom doesn't ship to Canada! D'oh! They're being very nice about it, but they can't help me. I'm so sad!
Hi, I am totally new to this forum. Got bitten by the rose bug five years ago when I got my first garden.. It's small and sun is just partial, so I have to choose...
However I just drove 3 hours yesterday to get me some new plants...
Red Fairy
Crepuscule (orange noisette)
Momo (not so well known, small rambler sized bunches of flowers, repeat blooming)
Amadeus (was told this was the earliest blooming red climbing rose here)
Golden Showers (for one of those numerous shady spots, and to liven up a white rose (Guirlande d'amour))
They are just leafing out, so I'm burying the pots and planting them in 6 weeks. :-)
Hoping for much colour this year!
Maybe I close this years spending spree with Munstead Wood.. Got curious because of these posts, and the color is amazing.
Just because it makes me happy, I attach a picture of my first bloom this year, a wild colored Cornelia! Usually blooms start in May around here (Amsterdam)
I ordered to many, but it will be alright. I will say what I've just received from Burlington looking awesome!
Smith parish
denise cassegrain
margo's baby
mrs. charles bell
mrs. herbert stevens
souv. de brod
tip top
yvonne rabier
gourmet popcorn
grace seward
scarlet moss
stars and stripes
capitaine basroger
mme. abel chatney
If anyone would like to comment on how any of these do for you I would love top hear it!
High Country roses
Minnie Pearl
Mountain Mignonette
Ferdinand Pichard
Varieta di Bologna
Hope everyone's orders are doing well!!!
Still to receive
From Linda at Long Ago roses I will be receiving next month or so
Cardinal de Richelieu
William Lobb
Henri Martin
Rogue Valley, which I believe ships out next week
Duchesse de Montebello
Louis Gimard
Dainty Bess
Plus my mystery and free rose which I chose Incantation a Paul Barden rose.
I also have three coming from Roses Unlimited, maybe more, if I have the resource's to order more, she's rooting two for me, and one wouldn't be ready until August.
They were:
Occhi di Fata
Edith de Murat ( ready in August)
and for the life of me I can't remember the name of the other I will have to call :)

Kate Gosselin Defends Her TV Choices, Not Her Old Attitude
Like us on Facebook
Kate Gosselin acknowledges that sometimes her attitude toward Jon was hard to watch on TV, but she says she continues to do shows so she can provide for her kids.

Please stop using these kids..Please stop using these kids. Please stop using these kids. You are not doing this for the kids - no one believes that. You are doing it to keep your sourpuss on TV. UGH! Go away!!!

I don't think anyone here is saying that all she's allowed to be is a nurse or just be a mom. She can be anything she wants to be but being a mother should be first which includes doing what is best for your family not yourself so I don't understand how being on these reality TV shows is doing what is best for your family. If anything, it has done more hurt for her family than any good. It looks to me that she is putting the glitz and glamour of Hollywood first which is a choice she made so it is her own fault that she is put under the constant microscope of the media and paparazzi. The same goes for her loser ex-husband .
4 years
She may have been a nurse at one time, but that doesn't mean that is all she is allowed to be. She may be a mom now, but that's not ALL she's allowed to be. Nurses work twelve hour shifts, six days a week. That is time she would have to spend away from her kids, which all of you would find a way to condemn her for too. At least she IS working, and taking advantage of the opportunities fame has given her. Stop being so critical of this woman. At least she's TRYING to work, unlike her ex-husband, who's ONLY claim to fame at the moment is his endless parade of trashy girls and outlandish tabloid headlines. I didn't care for Kate's treatment of Jon during the show, but really, he's proven his immaturity to the world through his actions. She's been dealing with his immaturity for years. I can understand why she would lose her temper with him. Kate is simply trying to provide for her family, the best way she can at the moment, despite what Jon, the tabloids and the haters are trying to make her out to be. I doubt any of you could do any better in her shoes. Everyone is so quick to judge, but if YOU'RE lives were under the microscope of the paparazzi, I doubt ANYONE would come out of it looking squeaky clean. People will find fault where ever they can to make themselves feel better about their own lives. Everyone makes mistakes, and everyone says things they shouldn't. Kate is only human, and she's at least TRYING to provide for her family, which I can respect her for. At least she's no Octomom living off of welfare and her parents. Almost all of Hollywood has been divorced, has children and nanny's. No one makes a big deal out of it when they go to work and spend time away from their kids. Why is Kate's doing it so much worse? It's not any different.
4 years
Does she mean a nurse's pay won't cover providing for her kids, or for her $7000 hair extensions and $1 mil house? Because I know several nurses who are doing just fine providing for their families - they may not be rich, but they provide and they are good moms - not media whores bent on attention and fame. Not to mention she should be getting child support to help....sorry Kate, but the single working mothers of America aren't going to buy you load of BS, and its an insult to those women to compare your million-dollar rich pampered self to women who really do work their butts off to provide for their kids.
Miss-Infamous 4 years
She has a $2 million dollar house and a private chef and nannies around the clock! Quit acting like your oh so poor and you need money!!
4 years
To her this is her job. They keep paying her. Stop watching and buying tabloids she's in...then she'll have to work. Just to be fair, make sure you attack Jon to pay child support for all those damn kids he helped make.
4 years
If you want to provide for your kids, get a JOB! Stop parading yourself and your family's issues on television just to make money. It may be the easiest way out but it comes with consequences as you've already figured. Stop NOW and get back on your feet and get a JOB! You're a nurse for goodness sakes! Your children will appreciate your hardwork when you actually work hard rather than exploiting them on television.

Review by
Blitzhard from Richmond, Va
This unit is amazing with one of the largest screens available for your car or truck and the clarity of the tablet looking face this is sure to be the future of car stereos. Also you can't beat the price. The only problems I have found with this jewel is that is does not have a mid-range eq. The deck itself can be a little difficult to use for people that are not up to speed with the latest technology.

Review by
Josef from Titusville, FL
I bought the unit for its screen size and the features it has, there are how ever a few things I don't like. I put in movies for the kids sometimes and have noticed the red and greens are really strong, and when you try to adjust it it's a little dificult to get right. The touch response for the screen is lagging from time of touch till actual action acures. I find my self using blue tooth and controlling stuff from my phone instead of the unit. The biggest thing I didn't like was the pre outs for the amp hook ups. They are rated for 2 volt output and the manual actually says 1.8 wich kinda makes it hard to match my audio control eqs.

Review by
Charles from Umatilla, FL
Where to begin! This is a fantastic radio the picture on it is great, the controls are really well done. It does lack a little refinement but that is OK. It could use more than just Treble and Bass control, it needs Midrange as well but when I get a crossover that will take care of it.
My wife, kids and I really are enjoying it. The sound is great! I have 2 AMPS hooked up Kicker 750.1 Monoblock to a 10" L7 and then a Kicker 350.4 4-Channel to 4-JBL Components in our 97 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo, there is problems where it does cover 2 of the front vents, but that is no big deal to us. It helps keep the radio cool when the AC is on. It was very difficult to install it into the year Jeep we have due to the dash setup, took a little time to figure it out but got it.
We are having problems with it saving our Audio and EQ settings tho, also having issues getting it to connect to my Cell Phone. I have written to Power Acoustik about these issues and well, they still have not gotten back to me about it. I am hoping to hear something this week as I only wrote them 2days ago. I have read where other people have had the same problem saving Audio and EQ settings but nothing about the Cell Phone not connecting through Bluetooth.
I recommend this radio to everyone this thing is great, I am thinking the problems we are having are user error, I at least hope they are. The documentation with the unit does leave a lot to be desired but is good enough to get you started.
Next thing I am going to get is a 3-CH Clarion Crossover from Sonic Electronix for it to help get even better sound! As it is now it is fantastic! With the crossover I can only imagine even better! Sonic got it here super fast! Thanks Sonic! You have gotten a loyal customer out of me and the family. Thank you very much.

Review by
Kyle from denham springs, LA
It's really cool, super huge screen. Touchscreen works well but not great. I had an older model and the one thing that bugs the crap out of me is how the screen clicks in at the top instead of the middle so the screen covers all my AC controls and what not. Also they still haven't made the a/v screen pick up a picture which is annoying. I'm also mad it didn't come with a cord to plug in your iPhone/iPod but they give you the little white connector lol. Also that they only have a mono sub output wire, meaning you only have one RCA for sub when practically all amps use two... can't pick up any tv signal which sucks. But overall I do like the radio a lot those are just things that bug me. I would still recommend this.

Phil from Walnut Creek, CA
Wanted the largest unit my M/B slk230 could handle. Looks good and install was pretty straightforward. Sonic forgot to add the free wiring harness for my car but one call and it came in two days. They are utilizing an awesome shipping company that is super fast. Screen is too bright at nighttime and I can't figure how to dim the screen at night so I cover it while driving. Sound is as good as the original old Bose system that came with the car.

bugs in me baggies!!
One bag that has three cuttings going seems to be doing fine, but I notice what looks like fungus gnats or little black fruit flies zooming around in there. I regularly open the bag, try to shoo out as many as possible and then close it and blow in to re-inflate it. Are these little guys going to do any harm? The cuttings have been in there for a good couple weeks now and I have only had to ditch one from that particular bag.Aside from that, one is showing growth in the bud eyes so it is obviously 'doing something'.
Also, another cutting in a different baggie seems to have some stowaway bugs setting up shop. Aphids from the looks of them and under the leaves are little oblong yellow eggs(?)
Can I spray insecticidal soap on my bagged cuttings? These are cuttings I don't want to lose. I imagine defoliating the cuttings to get rid of the eggs would not be an option as it would leave a naked stick.

Monday, May 31, 2010 (Date) INSTRUMENT OF TRANSFER Charitable Gift Annuity Agreement Truman Heartland Community Foundation North Office c/o Commerce Bank 300 North Osage Independence, Missouri 64050 This Agreement is made this ______day of (month) ______________, 2010, between (donors)__________________________ of (city & state)____________________________, hereafter called the "Donors," and The Truman Heartland Community Foundation, a Missouri non-profit corporation, hereafter called "THCF." Transfer of Property. The Donors hereby transfer to THCF, and THCF hereby acknowledges receipt of, the property described in Exhibit B attached hereto. It is agreed by the Donors and THCF that the property described in Exhibit B altogether has a fair market value of (written dollar amount) _______________________ ($_____________.) Payment of Annuity. In consideration of the property transferred by the Donors, THCF agrees to pay to (donors)_____________________________, for their joint lives and to the survivor of them for his or her life, an annuity or annual sum of $________, which is to be paid in equal quarterly installments of $____________ as of the last day of March, June, September and December. The first installment shall be paid on December 31, 2008, in the amount of $____________. Non-assignability of Annuity. The annuity specified in the above paragraphs shall be non- assignable, except in the case of a voluntary transfer of part or all of such annuity to THCF. Termination of Annuity. The obligation of THCF to make annuity payments under the agreement shall terminate with the regular payment next preceding the death of the survivor of (donor) ____________________________________, at which date it is agreed that THCF shall be released from all obligations provided all quarterly payments which were previously due have been paid. www.thcf.org Disclosure Statement. A qualified charitable gift annuity is not insurance under the laws of the state of Missouri and is not subject to regulation by the Department of Insurance or protected by a guaranty association. The THCF's disclosure statement is attached as Exhibit A. The birthday of (donor) _______________________ is (date) ___________________, and the birthday of (joint donor) _______________________________ is (date) __________________. The charitable proceeds of the annuity shall be used by the THCF to add to the _____________________________________Fund of the Truman Heartland Community Foundation.

Hanson, MPA, President & CEO www.thcf.org Monday, May 31, 2010 (Date) EXHIBIT A Disclosure Statement Per the Charitable Gift Annuity Agreement, guaranteed payments of the amount indicated will be made to the annuitant for life. With a gift annuity, you simultaneously make a charitable gift and provide guaranteed payments for life to yourself and/or another person. The fact that you are making a charitable gift may entitle you to income, gift and estate tax deductions. Because a charitable gift is involved, the annuity rates offered by the THCF are lower than those available through commercial annuities offered by insurance companies and other financial institutions. These annuity payments are a general obligation of the Truman Heartland Community Foundation (THCF), and they are backed by all of its assets. As of December 31, 2005 the fair market value of the THCF's assets exceeded $24 million. These assets are invested primarily in publicly traded stocks, bonds and mutual funds. The THCF was established in 1994. Responsibility for governing the organization is vested in a Board of Directors comprised of not less than nine persons, who are elected by the current Board of Directors and serve with no compensation. Common investment funds managed by the THCF are exempt from registration requirements of the federal securities laws, pursuant to the exemption for collective investment funds and similar funds maintained by charitable organizations under the Philanthropy Protection Act of 1995 (P.L. 104-62). Information in this statement is provided to you in accordance with the requirements of that Act. www.thcf.org Monday, May 31, 2010 (Date) EXHIBIT B Property Description www.thcf.org

We had an amazing stay and Amanda was a very gracious, attentive host! The apartment is in a perfect location in central London. We will be back for sure!
What a fantastic place, in the best possible location in central London. Right in the heart of the West End, 250 meters from Oxford Street, and yet....completely quiet and cosy.
About a million times better than a hotel - I cannot recommend it highly enough!
And, of course, Amanda is great, very welcoming, great company, really smart - and a great chess player to boot!
Cannot recommend it more!!
I stayed at Amanda's Venice apartment last year: the place was beautiful and I had a great time. We got on really well and became (website hidden) friends. So, when I had to have a stopover in London before a flight, I called her at the last minute (again) and found her incredibly helpful and accommodating (again!).
I knew the place would be nice, because of the Venice apartment, and because of tons of reviews from people who stayed in this apartment solo. I had my own room, and shared the kitchen and bathroom with Amanda, who couldn't be nicer. Everything was immaculately clean and well ordered. The bed was enormous, and comfort heaven.
It's a short walk to Oxford Street for shopping, but I only had time for a lovely dinner in one of the wide choice of restaurants further down the street. Amanda's pet rabbit is adorably cute and Amanda herself is so interesting and nice. In short: book it, you won't regret it!
We arrived early on the Friday morning and were greeted by Amanda's host. The apartment was clean and well looked after. We settled in very quickly.
I think when Amanda mentions that the apartment is in a perfect central location, she really isn't wrong! The location is amazing. Everything is so close, including pubs, supermarkets, restaurants, and attractions. We didn't need to use a cab or anything for the majority of our trip as everything was within walking distance.
I would recommend this for any people looking for an experience in London, right in the thick of things!
L'appartement est très agréable, clair et propre. Très bien situé dans un quartier animé plein de petits restaurants, proche du métro et des commerces (Tesco et M&S...).
We loved our stay in London!
The apartment is perfectly located in central London, quiet and very clean. All you can ask for! Amanda was super responsive to each and every email. Will definitely stay there again.
A beautiful apartment in a beautiful location. I had meetings at UCL and the location in Fitzrovia was excellent. Great coffee shop downstairs. Amanda was very accommodating, and I hope she enjoyed NYC as much as I enjoyed this visit to London.
Amazing central appt.from far the best place I've been in London including the hotels. Restaurants,tube,museum,shops, are all accessible in less than 10min by walk. Also I've been welcomed very well. Thx again,will definitely come back.
Amanda's flat is a white, bright, lovely flat up at the rooflines of Fitzrovia. Classic and comfortable, it was our second stay and won't be our last!
A lovely flat with all the amenities and very comfortable. We were warmly greeted by Meggie and Elia, the housekeepers (and Amanda on the phone) who gave us a run down of what was what. The location is excellent with public transport bus/tube very near, and lots of pubs, cafes, restaurants and supermarkets on your door step. Whether you are into art, history, the theatre or just want to shop there is a lot to see and do within easy walking distance with the British Museum, National Gallery, Soho, Covent Garden and Oxford Street within a 15 minute walk. We had a great time here and would recommend it to anyone who wanted to stay in London.
Thanks Amanda
Amanda was a great and a pleasure to have as a guest. She was communicative and reliable. She left the flat in great condition too! I would welcome her back anytime!
Amanda was a pleasure to host! So warm and funny and we clicked immediately! Also Caramelo her little bunny was so great to have around the house. Would definitely be glad to host you again! Have a great time in NY!!!
Amanda has been my best guest so far. She was very understanding and left the flat in really good condition. It has been a pleasure to host her.
Amanda was a delight to have over! She's bubbly and fun and a pleasure to chat with (and shop with)! I'd have her back in a heartbeat!
Amanda followed my only rule (lock front door when entering and exiting so the doggies don't scratch the latch to open the door and run out) to the letter and always turned off the electricity. She was very sweet to the housekeeper and my doggies who adored her!...
For sure I made a new friend in Amanda :-)
Amanda was a terrific guest. She was polite and respectful and tolerant.
I would be very happy to have her again. She is always welcome here.
Amanda is very friendly, easy going and would go out of her way to be helpful.

"A Lifesaver!"
This is an excellent meditation. The series of yoga postures are easy to do and but the body in a state of relaxation. I sleep so much deeper and have such vivid dreams and feel so much better overall when I wake up.
I saw the movie at Sundance Film Festival and had to read the book that let to it. It was a short listen, but a good one. Sad and shocking at times, but a good memoir worth listening to. Stay on the lookout for the film!

With a little water, this golden blended whisky opens up to delicate, nuanced honey and floral aromas and flavors. Finishes smoky, dry and brisk.
(3/ 2011)
Gold Medal, 2013 San Francisco World Spirits Competition. Malt whiskies matured 12 years or longer are perfectly matched with mellow grain whiskies of the same age to create this Hibiki offering. Also included is some whisky from casks formerly used in long-term aging of Japanese plum liqueur, which helps bring out the sweet floral notes on the nose and palate that Suntory whisky is known for. Adding venerable malt aged more than 30 years further brings out the bouquet and adds body to the palate.

Teeth Whitening
tisaJune 27, 2007
I was wondering if anybody knew of anything natural you can do for your teeth to make them whiter. Or if not, what's the best tooth whitener you can buy at the stores?
Hi, you could try rubbing a lemon peel over the stained teeth, but make sure you rinse your mouth thoroughly after that.
You can also make natural tooth paste by mixing 3 tablespoons of sodium bicarbonate with 2 tablespoons salts. Just use it as any commercial tooth paste. Can add ground orange and lemon peel to the mixture to whiten teeth.

Black mesa, which is a digitally remastered and reworked version of the original Half life is free to download and play. http://www.blackmesasource.com/download.html It's the game Half life should have been. Added dialogue, characters,enemies and modern graphics. What have you got to lose? You just need to download and install Steam, and their source code to play it. Seen a few reviews giving it 9.7 out of 10. I'm certainly enjoying it.

Already got it. But it has taken second place for the foreseeable future by Borderlands 2.

I'ts further on than in the original. Head back to the main entrance ( the terminal where the guard complains of the system crashing) and find the ventilator shaft blown open. Crowbar is wedged in the door handles.
