My David Austin bare roots arrived today & I am very disappointed
Hello, I am very new to growing english roses, and really most roses in general, so I would like some opinions on this problem I am experiencing. I ordered 3 bare root roses directly from David Austin, when I came home from work today the box was here waiting, I have been SO excited about them for some time, but when I open them up & start to look over them I am very surprised and disappointed in what I find, out of the three bare roots I ordered only one of them was a perfect specimen, the other two have a couple of issues I wanted to ask about.
First and foremost my "Lady of Shalott" has a big fat split down the center stalk, starting right between the only two big roots that are on the plant, it is so bad that one half of it will need to be removed (it probably would just fall of during planting it is so bad), leaving only one main root, which will provide absolutely NO stability in the ground at all, not to mention the lack of nutrients this plant will inevitably experience because of the small root system & the probability of disease from having a big wound right in the center of the plant.
The second problem would be something I am not sure is technically a "problem" but I personally find it to be a problem... the "golden celebration" rose arrived with only 3 canes, and two of them are facing the same direction, so really it is more like a 2 cane plant, because one will eventually need to be pruned off because they will be competing for space ... The other two plants I got (and every other bare root I've ever bought) had at least 4 or 5 main canes, with several smaller canes coming out all over the place, this one only has the three. I did some research and for a bare root rose to be considered "grade 1" it has to have at least three canes, which this one technically does, but I have also heard you should choose bare roots that are shaped like a hand, with all the main canes pointing in different directions, which this one is not even close, so I don't even know what to do or say about that one.
I am happy that at least my "Lady Emma Hamilton" arrived beautiful and healthy, but I really expected much much better when ordering directly from David Austin, and paying top dollar for the root and the shipping. In your more experienced opinions, should I be as upset about this as I am? I can't imagine the lady of shalott is salvageable, and I will be calling David Austin about that in the morning, but what of the golden celebration? I was promised a grade 1 plant, and in my opinion this is not grade one... what action would you take? Those of you who have dealt with David Austin before, do you think they will take measures to fix either of these situations for me? I had to forego the one year warranty on these because I ordered them "too late in the season for my zone" (really April 23 is too late? the date of my last frost was April 15- apparently I knew less about roses than I thought) So I am a little worried, I really hope that they come through and help me out with this.

No worries with the GC plant, it will be fine. You can leave it as is or go ahead and cleanly remove the small cane because it will be difficult to do it later. It will grow many more canes from the base. With regards to the LoS, I'm not sure I understand exactly what the problem is and I can't tell by the pic, but if it is evident that there is a large wound on the plant I would contact DA immediately and email them some clear pics. I think they wouldn't object in substituting the plant regardless of your waiving of the long term warranty.

I think the GC is OK, too; not a great plant, but all right; I've gotten many bare-roots in my day that have that sort of cane arrangement. I would NOT prune it out immediately, by any means,since for now, the rose you actually want is just those three canes! In my experience, bare-roots start out growing by leafing out on those grafted canes, then, as the plant acquires vigour,hopefully new ones will begin to sprout from the base, but this does NOT always happen immediately, or even necessarily in the first year,so for the first year, you just deal with the funky canes arrangement. In any case,even with a bare-root with perfectly "hand-shaped" canes, in the long run these old canes will be replaced by new, young, strong ones and you'll wind up removing them,but I personally would not touch these canes at least until the plants been in the ground awhile and has begun to grow!
The photo of LoS is not very clear, but I think I see the split,and if I understand the image correctly,I think the larger hunk of roots might be saveable. But I agree that one would expect better after paying top dollar! two out of three plants are not exactly great, and this third one is obviously damaged...bart
I agree with the above statements, and just wanted to add a few comments for future reference--hopefully these will help.
Any time you order late or have them delivered late (particularly after the standard ordering season is over--as it was with these roses), you are getting the left-overs and sometimes the runts of the litter. Given that, your three specimens are actually pretty good.
I'm in Zone 6 and I plant bareroots in mid-March or late March, only occasionally in very early April--so I would think in your zone 8, you should only plant bareroots in late February or very early March, maybe mid-March at latest.
If you want to plant roses in mid or late April in your zone, I would definitely order them potted--and plant them after all danger of freeze has passed.
Of course, I've never gardened in zone 8, so maybe I don't fully understand the gardening situation there, but I do know that I'd consider it much too warm here in zone 6 to be planting bareroots now--which doesn't mean it can't be done, but just that it is not the best time to be doing it.
Good luck--those roses will probably be beauties a year from now!
I agree with Dublin Bay.
I garden in zone 9 and my bare root roses need to be planted by President's Day; we begin planting in late December.
Keep in mind that roses are pretty resilient. I have seen runts grow to become beautiful specimens and lack luster performances from bare roots plants with big healthy canes etc. I have one of the latter in my yard right now.
I have grown well over a hundred of the David Austin roses including the 3 you have ordered and you have ordered 3 of the best.
Golden Celebration and The Lady of Shalott are both available as grafted or "own root" plants. It is not clear from your photos which type you have been sent. If they ARE own root, you could remove the broken root on the LoS plant and plant it in a pot with just the top half inch or so exposed at the top. It would likely sprout a shoot or two within a few weeks and would have a second specimen.
When life gives you lemons, make lemonade.
Just a bit of info: I ordered more than 20 bareroots from Pickering in Canada. They arrived late February. They were the most pitiful looking things I've ever seen (but I wanted Austins and some OGRS on multiflora and Pickerlng was my only option). Anyway, they've all done JUST FINE. With the exception of one, Chandos Beauty, that is dead and not coming back.
They are nowhere near equal to the gorgeous roses I got from Palatine and likely won't order from Pickering again, but the root system you showed looks LOTS better than some of my Austins.
So a bit of reassurance!
Be sure to water water water and give them some fish emulsion. It is awfully hot to get started....
Most of mine went into pots or specific beds. I believe it's really important to keep the foliage misted and the roots somewhat moist until they can get acclimated. Of course, mist in the AM...
Dinglehopp3r, most people have answered how I would. But there are a couple of questions I have, they are,
Because you ordered late, what price did you pay ?
Why did you wave your warranty ?
As for the LoS rose I would just cut the torn/broken root off, it will not suffer, I have planted worse.
GC is a very fine specimen, I personally would leave the third shoot/branch till it was happily growing, as mentioned more shoots will come from where these three have shot from,
As for contacting DAR I would have done this first prior to placing your issues on here to give them the chance of reply, This is just my opinion,
Regards David.
I wouldn't worry at all over Golden Celebration. Given the usual good care, time and pruning, that rose will soon be putting up new canes and various shoots and you'll never know the difference as it matures. GC is quite vigorous. I've grown plenty of initially wonky-looking roses over the years. Maybe most of my bare roots have arrived in odd and awkward shapes. N.B.D. (No big deal.) I just spent some time potting up a wonky Pickering rose, turning its crazy splayed roots and gawky canes every which way and that until it looked happier than not. N.B.D. in the long run. Pickering put up with intercountry credit card glitches and a late order and sent me roses which are unavailable elsewhere. Bless Susan at Pickering! :-)
Lady of Shallot: I can't quite see the split in your photos, but a split down the main cane can be a problem for all sorts of reasons. I'd send a couple of clear photos via email to David Austin and express your concerns. I imagine that the company will replace Lady.
I'm so sorry that your elation was dampened by a damaged rose. It's probably happened to most of us on the forum and sympathy is shared. On the upside: I'd plant your Lady #1 in a pot and see how she does even if she's replaced. You might have a bonus rose for your trouble!
Last year I received a rose from DA that I was very disappointed in. I called and they sent me another one. They were very nice. I hope you will let them know and I feel they will send a replacement or credit. Good Luck..they are very expensive so I understand your concern. Lesley
I once ordered late from DA and two of the 3 roses didn't make it. It was a bad year for roses, I think. The third, Tea Clipper I still have and it's doing great. I did not pay full price, I think they were half off at least.
As the others have said, I wouldn't worry about these, I would plant them with just the tip of the graft sticking out, that why they will go own root and you don't have to worry about the crack in the root. The GC will put out many other canes, so I wouldn't worry about that one.
I recently dug up some roses that were on Dr. Huey, and the root stock was enormous. I cut a lot of it off before I replanted it. I wanted to bury these deeper in the soil so the graft was underground. Even with that severe root pruning, the roses are doing very well.
I have had great experiences with their customer service. I had a rose, planted at the beginning of the year, that did not break dormancy. I called them and explained the situation, they sent a replacement to me the next day. The replacement is doing just fine.
Thank you for you so much everyone for your input, you have all been so encouraging and helpful, I am grateful for your replies. Although I am confused why people think I am in zone 8, unless I made a typo, (not uncommon), I am in zone 7a, so I'm right on the edge of zone 6, definitely closer to zone 6 than zone 8. I'm sorry for the poor quality of the photo, I was by myself trying to hold the rose, and an Ipad & take a picture at the same time in not the best light (it was dark outside & apparently everywhere in my house too) but the whole bottom half of the root system in the photo was dangling by a little thread, leaving only one large root that sticks out at an angle. But you better believe I planted that thing in a pot after soaking it,and I'm going to baby it until it develops a better support system. I have stopped worrying about the golden celebration, after all of your replies I feel much better about the plant I received and look forward to seeing it fill out.
I posted on here first because their customer service center was closed by the time I got home from work, and the next morning I had to go in to work before they opened, (it was a full weekend- I am a makeup artist and it is crazy season for me) so I knew I couldn't call them until the middle of the next day, & wanted to take some action of some kind, so I posted on here to alleviate my worrying mind while I waited for the chance to call them. I have read lots of horror stories about David Austin's customer service, so I was just seeing if anyone had any similar experiences, and what the outcomes were. I called them the next day and they said they would replace the Lady of Shalott for me at no cost. I shouldn't have worried so much because they were very helpfu the first time that they called to inform me that to get them this year, I would have to waive my one year warranty. I did not want to wait a whole year to be able to plant these in my garden, I am definitely not a patient person, which is definitely a flaw that is not good to have while gardening. The rep. gave me lots of helpful advice on potting them, and helping them break dormancy in a container & then some weeks later, after getting some leaves, I could plant them in the ground, possibly with soil or mulch built up around the base & lower canes to keep them moist. (something which I had already heard of and tired with a hybrid tea I planted a couple of weeks ago- which is doing fine so far) So I felt confident in my ability to care for them , as long as I was sent decent specimens. I even asked the DA rep then and there if I would at least have a warranty covering the plants until they reached me- in case something like this were to happen, which it did, & I'm glad I had the foresight to ask her then.
Also, I definitely should not be paying full price for 2nd quality plants, if these were on sale in some way I would have suspected that they may not be the best, but they were not on sale, I payed the full price listed on the website, $24-$27 a piece, plus a pretty healthy shipping fee. In my mind it doesn't matter what time of year it is, I better be getting what I am paying for.... If you bought a sweater in July & it was full of moth holes, would you be ok with it? Probably not. If they are going to sell an inferior product they better at least discount it in some way, I have worked in retail for a long time and I expect to get what I pay for, unless informed otherwise, and in that instance I can choose for myself wether to roll the dice on discounted items or not.
Thanks again everyone who commented, I will post some photos of their progress as it takes place :))
- Jessica.
Jessica, best of luck with your roses. I order directly from David Austin as well, but the many bare roots I ordered from them this season have been healthy and are already bushy and budded or blooming.
This is my first time growing David Austins, but there was one planted right outside the front door when I moved here, and it lights up my day with gorgeous blooms nearly every day of the year, year after year, with practically no care (I'm babying my new ones). Many of my clients grow Austin roses, and I've taken delight in those as well. I've fallen in love with David Austins, and hope yours bring you many blooms and much joy.

Maybe I'm missing something here but I can't see but an oblique relationship between USDA hardiness zone and time for planting bareroots. A zone is defined by the average lowest temp in a region not from how soon it gets too hot and dry for planting. So unless it so happens that in most regions in the States that are on the same zone spring comes more or less at the same time, I fail to see the relationship. In England btw which is basically zone 8, they stop shipping bareroots at the end of April. Of course England latitude wise is much further north than almost any place in the States in zone 8 I suppose.
There are many kinds of zone 8s: I've lived in three of them and each was very different from the others. Most areas classed as zone 8 in the U.S. have HOT summers--which England is not famous for--and gardeners there need to get plants in the ground in the fall or winter, to give the plants time to establish before the heat arrives. Here I try to get everything in the ground by the Christmas holidays (I don't always live up to this, but it's a desirable goal). When I've planted in late winter or, heaven help me, spring, the results have been mostly disastrous.
Hi Nik, I rarely order bare roots myself because I prefer own root roses most of the time (though not always). However, here in California we are planting own root roses at a time when much of the United States is still deep in winter with the ground frozen solid. Spring here is a month, two months, and even three months ahead of colder parts of the country. It can indeed make quite a bit of difference. It's not just how cold it gets, it is also how long it stays cold!
Hi Folly, this is why I'm curious about the relationship between zones and latest bareroot planting times. By definition there is none, although it may just happen that there is a correlation in most of places in the States.
Melissa, over here bareroot season starts beginning of November and ends end of March. I have had bareroots planted in March with no problem whatsoever (with the caveat that one has to supply supplemental watering, but that is true over here regardless when you plant them). Best time to plant seems to be from Dec to February which happens to be the main pruning season also.
In the mid-west where I live, the winters are cold, usually to -10F ( but I have experienced -20F) and the summers are hot, usually in the 90s (but I have experienced 100s). Roses do not appreciate either of these extremes. Fall planting is out because the roses need as long a season as possible to get their roots as deep as possible before the ground freezes - to about 3 feet deep. The planting objective is to hit the Spring sweet spot. (A complicating factor is that most roses grow in warmer climates and the leaves have sprouted, even on bare roots, before our frosts have stopped.)
With this background you can see the usefulness of receiving the bare roots at the right time. Although you are technically correct that the heat zones indicate the average low 10 degree range for an area, they are also a rough indicator of the average last frost date which also indicates when the weather is seriously heating up. Ideally I prefer to receive my bare roots (and hopefully bare branches) before the roses begin to leaf out here while there are light but not hard frosts. That way the roots can get established and begin to supply nutrients before the nutrient depleting stress of leaf sprouting. In addition, our best rainfall occurs here in April and May. Therefore, although my zone is 6 and my last frost date is May15, my preferred delivery date is about April 1st.
So all in all, the zone gives the gardener not a hard and fast rule but a quick rule of thumb in estimating a good time for Spring planting.
So my replacement Lady of Shallot arrived yesterday, and I have to say that this one is BY FAR the largest and most healthy looking specimen out of all 3 that I received. This just goes to prove to me even more that it should be possible to get good bare root roses even if you order late in the year, you shouldn't have to accept second rate plants because of the time you purchase them. I am very pleased with my purchase now, all three of my plants are already showing signs of being awake and actively growing, and I cannot wait to see these babies bloom.
Sidenote: i'm nursing the damaged LOS as best as I can, it doesn't look super great, the little baby buds that were on it when it came in the mail are all brown now :(
maybe with time? does anyone have any recommendations on nursing a rose back to health that has had significant root damage?
You can plant anytime the ground is not frozen. The issue with bare roots is not your zone, but how long the bare roots have been out of the ground. I believe most of the roses are dug out in the fall and then put into cold storage for shipping. So the earlier you get them, the less time they spend in cold storage.
As I said upthread, I ordered from DA late, I think it was July. And yes, two of the three roses did not look good and didn't make it. But Tea Clipper did. You can plant bare roots in the middle of winter, if your ground isn't frozen or in the middle of July.
I'm really not sure I understand why spring (and in many places a really short period in spring for that matter) is the main bare root season in the US. Maybe it's normal for your zone 6 or colder, if winter starts very early and the ground soon freezes up but I really don't see why people in places in zone 7,8,9 or 10 may not plant in the fall. Maybe the explanation lies not in where the rose is going to be planted but in where the plant is nursed...
Central and Northern Europe has similar climate with regards to cold and freezing grounds with lots of places in the US. Mostly zones 4 to 7. On the other hand these places tend to be cooler in the summer than the places in the US in similar cold hardiness zones. I don't think that people in these European places avoid planting in fall and prefer to plant only in spring. Bare root planting period in all of Europe is fall to spring, with main differences between colder and warmer regions being the beginning and end of the season (in colder regions the season is actually LONGER than in warmer ones) as well as a pause during mid-winter extreme cold periods or when ground freezes (where applicable).
I think it has to do with sales issues rather than best time to plant. I seem to remember Weeks posting when they were digging up and prepping the bareroots some time in November last year. Only in November and December the big push in stores and nurseries are holiday items. Christmas trees and poinsettias not roses and fruit trees. Using the local nursery as a sample of what a more "high end" retailer does, they fill their usual bedding plant area with trees the end of November. They close down for the week between Christmas and New Years and when they re-open, that is all bare root roses and fruit trees with a few bedding plants.
Since those plants were harvested in November, I think you have to figure there is a limit to how long they can be cold stored and shipped out to meet best planting times. It is not unlikely that the last plants out are not as good as the first ones. Because it looks bad for your company if you only ship bad condition plants, it is better to stop shipping at some point and either sell off remaining stock to a repackager or pot up and sell for a premium yourself.
I know that Americans farther South than my zone 6a do plant in the Fall but I have had no personal experience with warmer zones. However, from my zone North (and that's a lot of territory), Fall planting is not a viable option. In August it is too hot to plant, getting in the high 80s and then the first frosts come about the first or second week in October. Four to five weeks is not enough time for the roses to get established and prepare for the hard frosts soon to come. Our last frost date is May 15, so that is about 7 months. Usually we have snow cover then it melts, then more snow cover and on and on through the winter. This is especially bad because repeated freezing and thawing cycles heave plants out of the ground. A constant snow cover, which we do not have, would prevent that and in addition would be protective insulation, keeping the
plants near 32 F instead of the -10F air temperatures normal for this zone. It may be difficult for most Europeans to sense the degree and duration of cold that we experience, Scandinavian countries and Scotland excepted. When I read English gardening books that say a plant is cold hardy, I have to remember they mean that it will survive in a zone much warmer than mine. Most of England is zone 8! Compare the Hardiness Zone maps on Garden Web of Europe versus The United States. The color of the zones give a more intuitive feel for the difference in climate.
I listen to what you're saying. My theoretical objection, since I cannot talk from personal experience, is that I'm not so sure bareroot plants (which are dormant by definition) need ANY time to 'get established and prepare' for winter cold. They have been harvested from the field and have been put, usually artificially, into dormancy before shipping. Dormancy is the reason why they can get shipped barerooted in the first place. As long as the ground is not frozen and the plant is suited for the hardiness zone, the bareroot can get planted in fall and will continue to be dormant until spring. For the plant is should be the same thing as if it was never taken out of the nursery fridge. This should be applicable to any plant that can be planted bareroot, not only roses. That, of course, does not apply for planting non-dormant plants.
In my climate, bareroots usually come out of dormancy as soon as they are planted, which is why it is not very good to plant them too early in fall, but in colder climates the plant should just remain dormant until normal wake up season.

You mentioned the exact reason why we cannot successfully plant in the Fall, the ground freezes. Where I grew up, in northern Illinois, zone 5, it froze about 6 feet deep as I recall. Here I think that it is about 3 feet and we have heavy clay. Plants usually survive winters better in lighter soil. I agree that it is best to plant bare roots while the roses are still dormant which is why I plant beginning from April 1, long before the last frost. Another factor is that, although we get very hot summers, we also get rain during the summer. There are dry spells and there can be droughty summers but the latter is rare. The norm is hot and humid. The rain patterns here may be different than those you experience and those differences may contribute to a different optimal planting time.
As long as ... the plant is suited for the hardiness zone
This is a lot of the issue in a nutshell. The reality is, that by any objective use of the word, most roses sold in North America are only hardy to zone 7. Another large group is only hardy to zone 6. I have planted a lot of gallicas and other legitimately hardy roses in the fall, and it has worked out fine.
Freeze, thaw, freeze.
We are about where the cold, dry continental air meets the warm, moist ocean air. That describes a good part of the northeast, including here. So our winters can have cold, clear parts, and warm, moist parts, and blizzards where the two meet. So we accumulate snow cover, then it all melts, only to accumulate again. We definitely tend to have snow cover during the coldest parts of the winter, but the thaw cycles severely mess up any of the usual types of winter protection.
During the notorious winter of '94, we had a week with a low of -30, followed by a week with a low of 35, followed by a week with a low of -20.
I was under the impression that it also has to do with how much hotter our summers get. If a bareroot is planted late in the spring, it doesn't have time to develop a good root system before the blazing hot summer sun makes an appearance.
I am referring to the Midwestern oven-hot summers, of course. I realize some of you have rather mild summers.
Come to think of it, I do know of two plants that prefer Fall planting here, Eryngium (Sea Holly) and Anemone japonica (Japanese Anemone). The Eryngium has a deep tap root and resents transplanting but I don't know whether this is the reason. As to the Anemone, I haven't a clue.
Thanks Mad Gallica for your info.

RFID Tags have many uses, and are normally used to transfer data from an electronic RFID tag, to a reader for the purpose of identifying and tracking objects. However innovative modders have found a more rewarding use, using RFID for the creation of music using their RFID Beat Box.
The RFID Beat Box instrument created by Danne Woo, allows users to create and play music by placing RFID tags into wooden bowls. Each tag has been designed to look like a vinyl record and are colour coded, with each one triggering a unique sound. See how they are used to create music after the jump.

Ya ya I know. But its the only way to get an orientation baseline which is why its used on aircraft as well. Take the statement, facing the front of the ship... I can face the front of the ship at any angle. Its easy to take for granted that people sometimes do think differently and can read the same words the complete opposite so.....
I wonder how many times they got it wrong centuries ago till they finally came up with Port, Starboard, Bow and Stern.... I can here the, "NO! Your OTHER RIGHT!" being yelled so many times till they came up with something.
|Dec 29, 2012, 06:07 PM
The words port and starboard are becomming lost. lots of people, when asked, would not know what they mean. I did but was trying to be funny, i was in the Navy back in the early 80's I'm even a Shellback. Most people won't know that one either.
|Dec 29, 2012, 06:46 PM
Hardly. As long as there are boats and planes (which adopted nautical terms) and navies, those words will be used. You're just being a silly Pollywog
|Dec 29, 2012, 07:46 PM
Quick CG question. Is there a reference mark on the top or bottom of the wings that you use for a quick CG test? The Euro has them and I'm just wondering if anyone has found a similar for this one. Thanks.

We posted pictures of the CG150 mark from the forward edge of the square hole that the aileron wires pass thru.
Port n starboard... You take a cruise they teach the term, work in space, they use the terms, aircraft industry, same, and oh yes nautical operations. It explains orientation with one word, so it's not going away any time soon.

Ya jk I saw all your desert camo botched landing, some help is needed. As I told you on YouTube your trying to land from to high in a short distance, thus it's almost like a dive. Not that it can't be done, but you need to get that nose up and higher AoA before touching down and giving a lil throttle will help slow her down. Or Just come in a lil shallower with the same approach of a nose up high AoA and the you can almost glide in, she's a great plane that floats in so when you make your final turn lower your throttle to about 1/4-1/2 and as she gets closer slowly lower it more until she gets a nice steady descent and keep throttl there about few sec as she continues to the runway, before TD chop it if need be. I know it easier to say than do, but remember throttle input and AoA is your friend. Watch a few of my wing cam vids and you'll see what I mean.
I'm sure others will have there approaches and style, so gather what you can.
Here's a video I posted awhile back that shows my approach.
|Dec 30, 2012, 12:36 PM
Definitely agree with v8. The first thing I thought when watching your landings is that you are diving to the runway. I think it would help a lot if you stretched out your approach some and came in much more shallow. It seems that you are diving into the runway and then coming in fast and hitting the deck very hard. Stretching it out some will allow you to come in more shallow and give you more time to bleed off some speed so you're not coming in so hot. Will give you more time to line up as well, looks like you are always fighting to stay lined up and most times land near the edge and hit the ruff stuff. Cant really tell in video but is some of that fighting to stay lined up just cross wind? Just seems like you are always bouncing around and on the ails all the time back and forth and then end up at a point where you just plop it down. Do you have any expo dialed in?

All members of the staff all genuinely appeared to be happy in their roles. The rooms were spotless, comfortable and relaxing. It's the second time I've stayed there and I'm sure there'll be many more times as well. This time I spent a little longer in the hotel and used the bar, great to be able to look out over the football pitch. - Anonymous
The staff went out of their way to accomadate us and our needs- the desk staff were very freindley and helpful and had answers to all queries..The hotel itself was very clean and had character and excellant facilities. The restaurant manager and his staff went out of their way to accomadate us early at mealtimes so that we could attend conference meetings on time. An excellant service was given ! - David
i liked the friendly staff, allways willing to help and very clean room and facilities. - Laura
the cleanliness,excellent food,the service was the best we have ever known, but mostly the cabaret(even though one of the acts was ill so wasnt there,one of the other acts doubled-up.) - Anonymous
The pool was really nice and the jacuzzi. There was lots of little places to sit and relax. The staff were really nice and accomodating especially Mark from reception who was very helpful with our rooms as we had two small children. - Anonymous
We had a lovely stay, informed the reception that a couple of lightbulbs had blown in the room on our way out on the first morning, by the time we returned at lunchtime they had been replaced already! - Amy
Staff were very friendly and helpful.Breadfast was brill - David
the swimming pool and jacuzzi were excellent the entertainment at night was first class especially as I had children with me who were entertained as well - Anne
every member of staff delivered first class customer service and could not have been more helpful. The entertainment at night was super the guy who had been on britains got talent was hilarious and we will most certainly be returning to the norbreck castle again.The food was also fantastic. - Angela

I am from France, and I am currently living in Perth in Australia. I open my flat doors to guests to give them the opportunity to discover Juan Les Pins and the surroundings, and enjoy this beautiful region.
Najwa has completed online and offline ID verification.
Learn more »
L'accueil était parfait et l'appartement propre. Je recommande cet appartement car il est très bien situé et l'agencement agréable.
Nous avons passés 5 jours avec le confort nécessaire pour passer un très bon sejour.
We had very nice holiday in Najwa palace (:-)!
Everything was exactly as described on the pictures and the internet.
The strengths of the appartement are :
- very close to the beach
- Full internet access
- acces to the parking the door works very well (it is important because availlable places in the street is not frequent)
- The appartement is well equiped
- There is a complete "Beach kit" you can use
the advise i can give is just " to avoid middle of august period" the city and the beach are full.
L'appartamento è come descritto nell'annuncio, anzi più grande di quanto mi aspettavo, infatti la camera da letto e il soggiorno sono molto ampi ed inoltre ha un balcone spazioso. L'appartamento è ben attrezzato. La proprietaria è stata molto premurosa e rapida nel risolvere il problema della rete wi-fi non funzionante. Al nostro arrivo abbiamo trovato l'appartamento pulito e in ordine. La posizione dell'appartamento è ottima in quanto si trova a circa 200 m dalla spiaggia pubblica e a circa 600 metri dal centro della città. La presenza del garage è stata fondamentale per potersi muovere in tranquillità senza avere il pensiero di dove parcheggiare l'auto.
Najwa a fait des efforts pour nous renseigner sur les activités qui pourraient nous plaire.
Propreté impeccable et assez bien situé, super rapport qualité prix.
Seuls bémol:
- porte du garage qui fonctionne quand elle a envie (prévoyez de 30 secondes à 15 minutes pour l'ouvrir)
- internet ne fonctionnait pas.
Everything was exactly as described by Najwa and agreed. Antibes/Juan les Pins it is nice place for vacation resting however You should remember that isn't easy to find a plece near to the beach but without a noise from street traffic
The location is great - near to the beach, supermarkets and bus-stops. The flat is equipted with all necessary. The owner is very attentive, she provides us Welcome kit where all information was given. The big plus is the parking place in the house. Free wi-fi!
The owner was very kind providing a welcome kit with all the needed information and also suggestion for restaurant etc. and we could park the car into the garage
The flat was almost fine because of the position really close to the beach.
Unfortunately we had an issue with cleanliness (there was sand on the floor), with the shower (was not properly working) and we had to buy toilette paper by ourselves (considering the price we paid was not such a nice situation).
There are too much mosquitos at least in August and no air conditioning or ventilator in the house.
My family stayed at this property for 5 days. The apartment is very cosy and the owner is very friendly, providing a welcome kit with all the needed information and contacts in the area (activities, supermarkets, transportation, emergency numbers, etc.) and willing to help with any issues that may come up, even if not directly referring to the apartment. The neighbors are very quiet, and the noise level is minimal. The sea is very close, my kid was running to the beach the first thing in the morning. The owner provides a beach umbrella and mosquito repellents. Everything else is very close too: supermarkets, bus stops, places to eat, etc.
Also having a garage is a great thing, as parking is crazy in the area.
We will definitely try to come back on our next vacation!
P.s. for those with some food intolerance and allergies, there is a huge selection of diet food at Carrefour (a 10-minute drive), I even bought lots of gluten-free goodies for my kid to take home with us to Italy.
Thank you, Najwa!
Najwa and Timo were great hosts, left the place very clean and in order, thanks a lot! Hope you had fun, have a nice trip!
Najwa was a trouble free guest. We had very good conversations.. in French. She stayed for a short time but it was very enjoyable.
I highly recommend Najwa to other hosts. she is welcome anytime.

A Survey of the Almagest

Preview (read now) Add to my own site Give this ebook to a friend Add to my wishlist Author's page Publisher's page
more"The Almagest", by the Greek astronomer and mathematician Ptolemy, is the most important surviving treatise on early mathematical astronomy, offering historians valuable insight into the astronomy and mathematics of the ancient world. Pedersen's 1974 publication, "A Survey of the Almagest", is the most recent in a long tradition of companions to the "Almagest'. Part paraphrase and part commentary, Pedersen's work has earned the universal praise of historians and serves as the definitive introductory text for students interested in studying the "Almagest". In this revised edition, Alexander Jones, a distinguished authority on the history of early astronomy, provides supplementary information and commentary to the original text to account for scholarship that has appeared since 1974. This revision also incorporates various corrections to Pedersen's original text that have been identified since its publication. This volume is intended to provide students of the history of astronomy with a self-contained introduction to the "Almagest", helping them to understand and appreciate Ptolemy's great and classical work. less

Yarborough is definitely one of Lincoln's best-kept secrets. Our Supporters often comment that they never knew that there was so much they could do here, and that they hadn't known that there was somewhere in Lincoln where they could swim during the day. Well, they do now, and now you do too, so there's no excuse not to come and see us! If you do, you'll be following in the footsteps of many a well-known personality. Two of Britain's finest swimming Olympians, Mark Foster and Lizzie Simmonds, started their respective paths to glory with successful swimming clubs here at Yarborough. And if that hasn't inspired you to make the most of our swimming pools and their fabulous water quality, there's a fantastic choice of exciting activities, from our range of diving boards right through to the opportunity to have a go at the pole vault out on the athletics track. Further to that, Yarborough is the home of great events like the Lincoln 10k road race and the Lincoln Grand Prix Cycle Race. So it's fair to say that there is certainly a lot going on. We look forward to seeing you soon! Stuart Blackbourn Contract Manager
Annual Price Rises

Please understand that I get a TON of QSL requests due to operating from a National Park as well as IOTA Island DX-Peditions, so BE ADVISED:
USA/CANADA: I CANNOT, repeat CANNOT honor Stateside QSL requests that DO NOT include an SASE. Thanks in advance!
DX STATIONS: ALL DX CONTACTS WISHING A PAPER QSL FOR IOTA DX-PEDITIONS MUST ENCLOSE SAE AND $2 USA GREEN STAMPS (aka DOLLAR BILLS) . DX Stations wishing to get a paper QSL who send their card to me VIA THE QSL BUREAU (Buro/Burro) will recieve one via the bureau. If you send IRC's please understand you WILL NO GET A REPLY. There are no post offices for over 100 miles that will accept IRCs. IT COSTS ME more to send your worthless IRC(s) back to you. DO NOT repeat -- DO NOT SEND IRC's. It costs me MORE to send them back to you and I go at a loss even more. I will assume you cannot read and throw your request in the trash. If your country is NOT a BUREAU MEMBER NO QSL's. NO MORE FREELOADERS.
I operate DX-Peditions at a $$ LOSS $$. How fair is it for me to foot the bill for the DX - Pedition AND your return postage? I CANNOT do that. And yes, I get requests for the DX-Pedition contacts direct with no SASE...I get requests from those who do not READ--and send International IRCs that are WORTHLESS here. There is not a post office for 100 miles that even consider redeeming them...I cannot begin to tell you the frustration and HEADACHES I get from opening my mailbox -- only to see proof that some folks either fail to read, or don't care.
LAST WARNING: Any stateside QSL requests that do not include a SASE will be THROWN AWAY. Any DX QSL requests for my DX-Peditions that DO NOT ABIDE by the simple and reasonable requirements will be THROWN AWAY. PERIOD. Cant read? Can't follow simple requirements? Request gets THROWN AWAY.
Dog Island in and of itself is highly rare as DXpeditions are exceedingly rare and the far more common in the group, St. George and St. Vincent have had active stations in recent years as well as locals, but Dog Island is a different story. Almost 60% of all IOTA hunters need NA-085 (the group) and Dog Island, with it's private boat/ferry only transport by for is the most rare.
DOG ISLAND QSL CARDS Arrived 5/15/14 ALL QSL REQUESTS INCLUDING STATE SIDE SASE OR DX INCLUDING $2US AND SAE WILL BE PROSSED AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE. THE QSL'S LOOK AWESOME AND WILL BE A GREAT ADDITION TO YOUR WALL! Forgot to send and SASE (Stateside) or $2 and an SAE (DX) it's still not too late. I had

IF IN DOUBT: re-read the above details and info to confirm you contact with me .
God Bless.
DX contacts may either QSL direct or via the QSL Bureau and your reply will be sent same. I prefer to NOT use eQSL. com for DX confirmations.
DX: I will be QSL'ing you via the QSL Bureau, STATESIDE QSL managers, or in extreme cases direct.
I can confirm the following:
10-10, 10-10 VP, Arkansas, Garland County, Hot Springs National Park, SKCC # 6898, and QCWC.
And YES I actually do live in a National Park. Hot Springs National Park is an annomoly where non-National Park Service people can live within the zip code. While most residents of Hot Springs are miles away from the park, I live on the South side of Music Mountain--about 1/2 mile from Sunset Trail which is at the summit of Music Mountain and is at about 1,500' ASL. QTH is about 850' ASL, Lake Hamilton--which can be seen from the QTH is at about 400' ASL. My QSLs are valid for many National Parks awards and certificates.

My Great Great Grandfather Calvin Curlee Bullard was in the Alabama 5th Cavalry, so was his brother George.
His cousin Henry, rode with Forrest in the Army of Tennessee, "Bledsoe's Light Artillery" and Brother George served in the AL 5th CAV with CC Bullard. It is most likely that ALL three fought at Brices Crossroads, Mississippi -- in different units assigned to Nathan Bedford Forrest. Their families would end up settling within 10 to 25 miles of that battlefield.
In only two of the four sides of my family no less than 15 direct ancestors served in the Civil War honorably.

South Carolina Gov. Mark Sanford missing since Thursday!
Poster Handle
Anonymous Coward
Post Content
Ones who are quick to ridicule Mark Sanford for being human and making a mistake will soon discover that they have thrown dirt on a man trying to save their own lives.......
We need help in SC to get attention to real issues. This place has gone crazy and some of the "insider" politicians (who thought they were insiders) don't know what's happenin'.
what are your real issues, AC?
Dread Pirate Roberts
Just for starters (not all inclusive) we have three elected public officials who have stated that they were seriously considering a run for the governor's office next year. Sanford is in his final term.
Gresham Barrett, US House of Rep.
Andre Bauer, Lt. Governor
Henry McMaster, Attorney General
The Lt Governor's office is being investigated by the Attorney General's office and the US Congressman steps into the melee and says the Governor ought to resign.
In the middle of it all, the chief prosecuting attorney out of the AG's office, who is personally investigating the Lt. Gov's office is suddenly dead near the Appalachian Trail without sufficient explanation. Meanwhile, the Governor decides to leave the country (no proof of that) and claim to see a mistress from Argentina instead of taking his planned hike on the Trail.
The main political paper for the state in Columbia, The State prints a bunch of so-called lover e-mails, which don't make sense. We know this governor. He's been all over the state and in our face for 8 years. "We'uns" just can't tie the e-mails to the governor.
This is intermission while all of us do the Fourth of July. It'll crank back up next week.
The paper needs to explain printing e-mail it had not verified.
The AG needs to explain lying about the circumstances of the death of his chief prosecutor.
The Lt. Governor needs to explain why the AG is investigating his office.
The Governor should stop explaining his mystery mistress.
The people of South Carolina are being ridden roughshod over the upcoming election for the change in the Governor's seat. We know that who gets a head start it not required to put up as much money to get the seat.
To the public, who is aware of the death of the well-liked prosecutor, it looks like her death has resulted from the fight over the governor's seat. Sanford is a lame duck and is ducking (pun) and covering as best he can.
Please verify you're human:

WHO SHE IS: Associate Director of On-Campus Programs, Undergraduate Admissions
YEARS AT PENN: One year in July
WHAT SHE DOES: Walsh hires, trains and oversees Penn's tour guides and ambassadors. "They don't fit one profile," says Walsh of the 100-plus guides she works with. "They're just people who love the University and want to share their enthusiasm." Walsh also leads information sessions and coordinates group tours.
HOW MANY VISITORS: By mid-March, Walsh says around 200 potential students (and parents) are visiting campus every day. By the end of March it'll be up to 500. .
TOUR ROUTE: "We can't touch on everything, but we try to give them an idea of what undergraduate life is like." No two tours are alike, but "they always see College Green, the Quad, Franklin Field and Locust Walk."

"It's a very confusing time. … This legislation has happened before we have a medical consensus about what to tell women."
— Emily Conant, a professor of radiology at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania, on laws in 21 states that require doctors to tell women they have dense breast tissue, which can raise their risk for cancer and hide abnormalities. New breast-imaging technologies promise to detect more cancers in women, but can bring more false alarms as well. (The Wall Street Journal, Feb. 23, 2015)

Incarceration and Musical Inspiration Part Three: A Live Concert in Prison
We tried to describe what different instruments looked like and we realized that what we needed was a live concert. There was great concern among the prison administration that the violin was a dangerous instrument. The strings could be turned into a weapon. Emails and phone calls went back and forth for months.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fresh Renditions of Fantasic Songs,
S. Sanderson (Bahrain) - See all my reviews
Verified Purchase(What is this?)
This review is from: The River Sessions (Audio CD)
As a fan of Climax, since my teens, when Couldn't Get it Right was in the charts, this album is a very welcome addition to my collection for two reasons:
A: My original Vinyls have seen far better days by now (and as usual, the Record companies Greed, prevent them from releasing 'Flying the Flag' and 'Lucky for Some' on any form of Digital Media)
B: The live versions of these songs, go to prove that 'Quality Musicians' playing 'Quality, Self Penned Material' are sadly becoming a thing of a distant past.
Peter Haycocks' wonderful guitar playing with Colin Coopers' accomplished and Stylish Sax and Vocals sit perfectly on top of the foundations laid by Derek Holt, John Cuffley and George Glover. All of the tracks are performed with wonderful feeling and verve, and the original recording by Radio Clyde is excellent quality. A joy to my ears.

Vista del Río Pas a la altura de el pueblo de Puente Viesgo. Famoso por su sus excepcionales cuevas prehistóricas del Monte Castillo, el Balneario de aguas minero-medicinales y termales, así como sus ricos pozos salmoneros, han hecho de Puente Viesgo un enclave de singular importancia y referencia turística del valle del Pas. Al fondo se puede apreciar un pescador cambiando el aparejo.
Europe is generally agreed to be the birthplace of western culture, including such legendary innovations as the democratic nation-state, football and tomato sauce.The word Europe comes from the Greek goddess Europa, who was kidnapped by Zeus and plunked down on the island of Crete. Europa gradually changed from referring to mainland Greece until it extended finally to include Norway and Russia.Don't be confused that Europe is called a continent without looking like an island, the way the other continents do. It's okay. The Ural mountains have steadily been there to divide Europe from Asia for the last 250 million years. Russia technically inhabits "Eurasia".Europe is presently uniting into one political and economic zone with a common currency called the Euro. The European Union originated in 1993 and is now composed of 27 member states. Its headquarters is in Brussels, Belgium.Do not confuse the EU with the Council of Europe, which has 47 member states and dates to 1949. These two bodies share the same flag, national anthem, and mission of integrating Europe. The headquarters of the Council are located in Strasbourg, France, and it is most famous for its European Court of Human Rights. In spite of these two bodies, there is still no single Constitution or set of laws applying to all the countries of Europe. Debate rages over the role of the EU in regards to national sovereignty. As of January 2009, the Lisbon Treaty is the closest thing to a European Constitution, yet it has not been approved by all the EU states. Text by Steve Smith.
