Stella sweet Cherries
Guess what,
It's my turn to brag....
They are red already and picking any day now!
I'm glad you posted. I was just about to e-mail you. I happened to go to Holes tonight and they had the UofS big 5 for sale individually! I got a Big Momma and a Big Late (BL) for $15.00 each. They are both about 18" high and very nice looking little plants. In 3 years, I, too, will have cherries. Bonus, at Holes, is a five year guarantee (as long as they are planted with Mykes). I am so excited.
Have a question, also. What would be best as a pollinizor for a Convoy Cherry Plum? I have been getting various opinions from some of the nurseries - Nanking, Western Sandcherry, Manor Cherry Plum - even had one tell me Purple Sandcherry (I didn't believe that one). I thought it was Western Sandcherry but I am having a bit of trouble finding one - have to go to Cheyenne's, I think. But, twice now, I have been told a Nanking will do it. I can't find any written reference for using a Nanking, though.
Any help?
Good to hear Shauna, go for it!
Let me know please,which of U of S is better then Evans...as you know, all of them are sour cherries.
5 years guarantee is pretty darn good!....What is Mykes?
Have no answer on your plum...
I found out, grow allot of different verities, to ensure some trees flower more or less at the same time for cross pollination.
Stella I have grafted to Evans and it's the 3 rd. season.
Possibly the only Stella producing on Evans in Alberta or Canada?
Mykes is a brand name for a naturally occurring fungus, mycorrhizae, that can be added as a soil booster to greatly improve the development of the root systems of plants. It does help quite a bit. Although, most soils have mycorrhizae in small quantities, already. It looks like a bucket of fertilizer and sells for about $10.00.
These U of S are supposed to produce in their 3rd year, also. Well, I guess if I can wait for an asparagus patch, I can wait for cherries, too. LOL!
How clever to graft Stella onto Evans (that almost sounds . . ?). That would make it much more hardy, right?
Wow, Konrad, those look so nice. How was your harvest? Did you get alot? Do you have any problems with the birds getting to them first?
I've got my "babies" tucked in for the winter. I didn't do too much for winter protection, though. I decided that if they were going to be hardy, they better learn to suck it up while they're little. I just put some mulch around the bases of them. Here's hoping that in the spring they will survive and bounce back with resilience.
you should be fine with your babies!
>>How was your harvest? Did you get allot
Just a couple of graft's as what you see, they tasted great! sweet, the real thing!
Had to cover them up with bird netting.....as soon as they just turn red, the birds will find them, it's not a big problem with sour cherries, the Evans on the same tree, you
can see on the bottom and very right of the pic, they are still small and about a month later,
[two crops on one tree in one season!] LOL
Konrad:have you ever experimented with Carmine Jewel cherry "trees" from the U of S (university of Saskatchewan for all of our southern neighours)or any of the other cultivars that they have produced? Also, what kind of planting/watering/feeding tips can you give us. I am in awe of what you do!
We've had 'Carmine Jewel' for about 3 years now, and it's produced fruit for the last two. The fruit is about half the size, and not as sweet as 'Evan's' cherry. The plant itself is shrubby, and low-headed - currently about 5' tall. Of the two, if you are looking for something as close to a sweet cherry as possible, I'd recommend 'Evan's' over 'Carmine Jewel'.
Thank you all!
I agree with Lori,
There is nothing better then Evans....all that "talk" about new verities, I like to see it first!
Go with Evans and you should get some fruits....ooh, you are zone 2??
If you plant against the house, barn, you might be OK?
Or do as I do, I graft allot out on the acreage, [away from home] to our native pin cherry and I will have much more fruits this way, you are going to have a hardier tree and lots of nice blossoms in spring, my Honeybees and Swallowtail love them too........
Most my cherries I haven't fertilized at all, the one on the pic,[with fruit] grows beside the compost pile and don't need any. If you have a good crop, it's perhaps good to fertilize to replenish the loss of nutrient. I never watered them on the acreage, but if it's really dry it wouldn't hurt.
Have you ever grown Nanking cherry?...they are your last alternative and not bad at all!
We have two Nanking cherries, and they're on and off with fruiting. It mostly depends on how late a frost we have, though we've started trying to cover them if a late frost threatens. Three summers ago there were enough cherries for a batch of jelly, but not near enough lately. The baby robins love them, though!
Thank-you to all with your excellent advice! I am so disappointed in knowing that Carmine Jewel is not living up to its supposed reputation. However, the good news is that, yes, even in zone 2b I can grow Evans cherries. My friend has one in her backyard in Saskatoon and they have been harvesting for about 3 years now. I find the cherries a little sour but, even so, they are excellent in cherry pie as she gave me one made with Evans cherries (thank-you Pat, you sweetie!). Also, luv2gro, I am going to try Big Momma, Big Late this spring. You are a wealth of knowledge to me gardening friends!
I have the cherry from T&T Seeds called "Rose Cherry". One thing IÂll say is itÂs definitely a vigorous grower (as all cherry bushes probably are). It started out as a 5 inch cutting and within a few years hit six feet high (less one setback year when it got severe winter kill, most Âprunus shrubs did that year).
The cherries are sour, but tasty, kind of addictive. My only beef is it has loads of blooms but not that many cherries. My thinking is though they claim it is "self-pollinating", it might benefit with another tree to cross pollinate.
I have a cistena cherry (though it doesn't bloom much) and there is a chokecherry nearby, but I donÂt think these are helping. Unless, of course, the problem is something other than a lack of pollination. One year there was cool weather during bloom time and I thought that was the problem. This year I thought the weather was perfect but still, not that much in the way of fruit production.
On the plus side, it is quite an attractive shrub. I love the glossy leaves and the fact that if it gets winter killed or gets chewed on by a rabbit, it comes back quickly.
Hello all, I am new to this forum and need some guidance. I planted a Stella cherry, two years ago. First year it had two cherries on the whole tree. This year we had a lot of wind and I think all of the flowers blew off. I have no cherries this year! I live in El Paso TX and the weather is hot and dry. I water everday? I have not feed or chemically treated the cherry. the tree looks healthy and is about 9 feet tall. What can I do? Thank you, John
This forum is mostly 40 below, stuck in a snowbank kind of people but I'll try. Do other people grow cherries in El Paso? Some tree fruits require a period of chilling or dormancy but your trees did bloom. Stella is supposed to be self fruitful so pollination shouldn't be an issue. A guess is that the tree is still getting established and dropping its blossoms is how it diverts its energy to new root and stem growth. They really didn't blow off.
The Stella cherries look luscious. I have 1 Stella and 3 Lapins that I got from you that I grafted 2 years ago. They are doing well. You said your stella is 3 years old. Am I right to think that these grafts will flower next year? I am sad to say that all the cuttings I got from you last year did not take, not one! I can't think of one reason why they all failed to take. Have you any opinion?
>> I am sad to say that all the cuttings I got from you last year did not take, not one!That's too bad, how about this year's graft?
Hm...not sure, it could be many things like timing, dry weather, contamination, dead scion etc.
Just keep trying, ...you're doing good, at least you have some growing now.
I find that when you cut your cherry scion when buds just start to swell, then graft in the same day
that you have better results.
Keep trying
How is everybody doing with sweet cherries this year?
The Stella graft died off, mainly because that large Evans branch where the graft was on died, it grew from a crotch V, split, opened up and started to rot.
A good young shoot came up and I grafted to that one near the bottom, I think that's a better way to do it, low branches near the ground so it gets good snow cover, I had good flowering and some cherries formed this year.
I have always been welcome here. I hope things haven't changed. I think you just caught Konrad of guard.
BTW, as I feared, Lonicera caerulea (Honeyberry) has escaped into the wild near Duluth, Minnesota (zone 3). There is a huge "field" of them near the airport. Watch out everyone!
It doesn't matter whether you are American or Canadian at all..as long as the conversation is about things that can grow in the "far north." Otherwise, there are lots of other sections for warmer zones.
So, about these Stella cherries...I don't think I have even ever seen them in greenhouses. What do they taste like compared to the U of S cherries?(Juliet, Crimson Passion, etc.) Are they "real" sweet cherries, or sour cherries that taste sweet? I haven't ever tried grafting, and all my feeble attempts at cuttings and other non-seed ways of propagation for trees and shrubs have failed. Oh well.
I'm sorry if I have caused to offend you, Frank...It wasn't meant to do so, we all love our American's, I do respect all people, no matter from where or what color they're.
Weeper, not sure where your'e from but I have bought several self fruitful sweet cherry trees for testing some years ago from Kuhlmann's in Edmonton. They're still alive, planted very deep below the graft, I can cut scion in spring if needed, 3 trees in total but none flowered, think the buds had damage because the branches are too far up and didnt' get that snow cover. It would be best to head them back and just grow low branches not more then a foot up. Yes, Stella is totally sweet,...like you would buy from the supermarket. I think Evans is a good hardy vigorous rootstock, if you have good snow cover, it can survive a very cold winter,...one night we had around minus 40C. here in Beaumont, none of the tremendous new grows froze back. I'm going to try some tender plums the same way out of town, by heaving branches very low to the ground...and hope for lots of snow or cover with something.
Konrad, a few years ago I had talked with your friend that lives west of Spruce Grove and a bit north of Highway 16. The man had two cherries trees on the south side of his home, I think these were dwarf sweet cherries and had then came through two winters in very good condition. Do you know how these trees have continued to do? I might have to visit with him again.
Konrad, I'm from an hour south-east of Saskatoon. We live on a farm and have a large yard. We're currently fencing off a large section with game fence to have an orchard and veggie garden. I'm just curious about some of the options I could look into. I'll probably just stick with the hardier sour cherries that taste sweet. However, I sure to love to hear about your adventures and victories!
Weeper - make sure you read the rest of the post about producing compost in Zone 3. I wrote more there for you, and I'll bet your new area, and your cherry trees, will love tons of compost =:)
Sorry to kinda change the subject here.......
Terry, I know who you're talking about, most often I'll see him at the fruit show...next time I will ask.
Weeper, makes sense in your even colder zone, which sour cherry is your favored? Any of the new one's any good?
I haven't tried any of the new sour cherries...I really, really want to! I'd love to taste them before I buy, so that I know which varieties are the tastiest. Fresh eating and freezing will be mainly what I'm doing with them. Seems like reactions of how they taste and how sweet they are vary depending on who you ask. From what I've read, Juliet and Crimson Passion will probably be my favorites...but I'll probably plant Cupid and Romeo as well. I'm hoping they'll be fully hardy for me.
We have horrid number of deer here, they browse everything, and just destroy any fruit trees. So I'm waiting until the deer fence is complete before I plant. Next spring here I come!! I'm doing my research now, though. I'm also looking into apple varieties, plums, chums, honeyberries etc. I already know what I want for raspberries, strawberries, saskatoons.
Fot the 3rd year in a row I'm not eating any cherries off of my trees. They are two 3 year old Stellas and a Black Tartan and even though I had immature fruit this year, they all fel off and none grew to maturity. At least I got to get excited with anticipation. Anyone care to offer an opion as to what could have gone wrong. Will pruning back the limbs promote fruit growth?
I am a new gardener
I bought two cherry trees and put them in my garden as I was instructed to do by the experts.
Now these trees are six years old were in a flowering state when I purchased them.
The blooms are all gone after facing the harsh cold and then sudden hot weather .
My leaves at their stems have ruby red growth like little beads.
Are these cherries or the cherries will come out of the nodes on the branch.
Please help.
Well I can't say I am well versed in cherry growing but my Crimson Passion is doing well this year. No blossoms but vigorous. I moved up to the next size pot but was surprised how little the roots grew. At this rate I can keep it in a pot for a few years.
I have never fertilized this plant. I am curious if all the Romance series cherries have such an intense growth period from the middle of May till the end of June. I had hoped to see blossoms in the third year.
I've been contemplating whether I should fertilize or not given the very lush growth. I learned last year this plant responds well to moisture up to the middle of June then it shuts down. Any further water causes yellowing of the leaves. This year I am moving to a much drier location.
The bush has at least one branch that breaks every winter due to snow load. The bush/tree has too much lateral growth and not enough vertical in my opinion. Any extra nutrients I add to induce blossoming is only going to add the to the fragility of the plant. After conversing with the market gardens my plants are anywhere from 2-3 weeks ahead and look and act "fertilized". Ideas anyone?

Vegas Indoor Skydiving-what a great experience! Staff were awesome, very nice, upbeat, informative. My instructor was Chris, such a nice person and a great instructor. Equipment given for flight was in good condition & clean. Facility was clean as well. I would totally recommend doing this in Las Vegas & would love to do this again,
This place is amazing. We brought our 9 and 11 year old boys to Vegas for the first time and discovered Vegas Indoor Skydiving trough a google search of things to do with kids in Vegas.
By far, this was their favorite adventure. The facility is clean and welcoming, with a convenient parking lot right out front. We read on...
For $75 each, we got to try something amazing. We all left with big smiles on our faces. I'm a 47 year old mom and I went with my 24 and 21 year old kids. Read up on things like weight limits before you go by visiting their website. They will have you step on a scale. We got lucky...
Expensive, but we'd go back! The kids thoroughly enjoyed themselves. Mom went with them. Dad was a few pounds over the 230 pound weight limit.
The kids expressions when they were in the air were well worth the money spent.
Who says that Vegas is not for kids???
Thank you to all the staff and especially his flight instructor DOUG, for well explaining everything to Julian and taking good care of him. This is a kid friendly location and not just for adults. Thanks again DOUG!! Next time we are in town I will make sure we go do this again.
I took 15 people here for a team building event, and while only about 5-6 at a time were in the room flying at a time, they all trained together, talked about the experience, had a blast, and enjoyed the time. Afterwards we went for a meal and that was perfect. This is a room with a large plane engine...
Recent family visit from overseas with 4 vouchers purchased months before and a call to ask questions about the attraction. Was told to "just turn up" which we did only to be told they were booked out. Not only were we upset but the service was blunt and rude. Only when we ask about the vouchers we were told they...
Can't express the professionalism and FUN value of this opportunity to experience skydiving indoors at a much less intimidating distance to the ground. All five kids asked to do it again immediately upon exiting. As a parent it was fun to watch from the viewing chamber and see them master the skills that they had learned in the short demonstration....
So fun! Tony, our dive guy, was engaging. I was slightly nervous because I was a bit hungover and was concerned it would upset my stomach. On the contrary, the dive made me feel wonderful. Tony spun around to my delight. It's worth 75 to experience something you've never done before. If you are on the fence, go for it!!
This was one of the best times I've ever had and I'm 51 years young!
The price was a small fee compare to the amazing feeling of flying. OMGosh!! So much fun!! The instructor was a really fun guy and he made us all very comfortable. we'll be back in a year for the International Builders Show and I'm already...

Which side would you rather be in the three diagrams below?
Diagram 1: white, since he has the pair and can limit the c file.
Diagram 2: black, of course. Even though white has three minor pieces, the queen is far more superior and can quickly pick up pawns and pieces.
Diagram 3: black. 2 rooks is better than the lone queen here.
I agree with you on no. 1, but in no. 2 I think the three pieces work better than the queen, in no. 3 can't White trade the Queen for 2 rooks if they penetrate?
1. White, for the same reasons Chess4001 stated.
2. White, because white's pieces should coordinate against the queen and beat her. White's has no real structural problems so his pawns should be easily defensible.
3. Black, same as Chess4001
#3...pawns on both sides of the board, so queen is generally better.
I played some games from Diagram 3 with White and they really do illustrate and emphasise the ability of the Queen. While the Queen can often trade herself for two invading rooks the rooks can hardly do the same for the Queen; therefore I believe White has an edge in Number 3.
I'd play anyone that disagrees with me with those starting positions.
If I win, I've proven my point, if I lose, I've learned something about chess, so it's a win-win.
I don't think there's a convenient way to do it though. Can you create a challenge with your own starting position?
Principle: (heard this on a chess.com video!) the more pawns in a Q vs. 2R's game, the stronger the queen is! Also, in the starting position (8 pawns each on 2nd/7th rank), with one side having only a queen and the other only two rooks, the queen wins! So I'd say diagram #3 is the advantage is probably for the queen- the position has 7 pawns!
How should we get a game going? Using messages and the analysis board?
Ok, I took a look at number again and decided to change my mind. White has the pair and doesn't have much exploitable weaknesses.
I tend to believe that white should be better in each of these positions. Mostly this is just quick intuitive assesment but to mention few possible reasons each position is relatively closed which should probably favour the type of material white has and white has the advantage of the first move which can be quite telling as black isn't ideally coordinated.
By the way, is there some deeper meaning behind having the white pawn in a3 in the first diagram but in a2 in others?
No, the position of the a-pawn shouldn't make much of a difference.
What is the green bar? why sometimes my opponent get extra time in the game?

DEFINITION of 'Participating Preferred Stock'
A type of preferred stock that gives the holder the right to receive dividends equal to the normally specified rate that preferred dividends receive as well as an additional dividend based on some predetermined condition.
The additional dividend paid to preferred shareholders is commonly structured to be paid only if the amount of dividends that common shareholders receive exceeds a specified per-share amount.
Furthermore, in the event of liquidation, participating preferred shareholders can also have the right to receive the stock's purchasing price back as well as a pro-rata share of any remaining proceeds that the common shareholders receive.
INVESTOPEDIA EXPLAINS 'Participating Preferred Stock'
For example, suppose Company A issues participating preferred shares with a dividend rate of $1 per share. The preferred shares also carry a clause on extra dividends for participating preferred stock, which is triggered whenever the dividend for common shares exceeds that of the preferred shares.
If, during its current quarter, Company A announces that it will release a dividend of $1.05 per share for its common shares, the participating preferred shareholders will receive a total dividend of $1.05 per share ($1.00 + 0.05) as well.
Participating preferred stock is rarely issued, but one way in which it is used is as a poison pill. In this case, current shareholders are issued stock that gives them the right to new common shares at a bargain price in the event of an unwanted takeover bid.
Participating Convertible Preferred ...An equity holding that gives investors the right to claim excess ...
Preferred StockA class of ownership in a corporation that has a higher claim ...
NoncumulativeA type of preferred stock that does not pay the holder any unpaid ...
Prior Preferred StockA type of preferred stock with a higher claim on assets and dividends ...
Poison PillA strategy used by corporations to discourage hostile takeovers. ...

The Beast in the Bathhouse; Crystal Meth Use by Gay Men Threatens to Reignite an Epidemic
Published: January 12, 2004
(Page 2 of 2)
A veteran AIDS activist, Jim knows he should have known better. ''Once I was diagnosed, I was so embarrassed and ashamed, it fueled my addiction,'' he said. ''I became the beast that eats its own tail.''
For four years, Jim handed his life over to meth. What began as a weekend habit quickly became a daily dependence. Old friends were pushed away, jobs went by the wayside, and his credit card debt reached $40,000. He contracted syphilis twice. And coming down was excruciating. ''When you're crashing, all you want to do is get high again,'' he said. ''It's single-minded and ugly.''
As addiction deepens, crystal meth wreaks havoc on the brain. In advanced cases of addiction, users can become psychotic with effects that mimic schizophrenia, says Dr. Antonio Urbina, a researcher at St. Vincent Catholic Medical Center who studies the drug's impact on neurological function. He says the drug can also compromise immune function and interfere with AIDS medications. ''If you're H.I.V. positive, crystal is a disaster,'' Dr. Urbina said.
Despite what experts describe as an emerging crisis, neither public health officials nor private gay organizations in New York have done much to quell crystal meth's spread. San Francisco, by contrast, will spend $425,000 for education and treatment.
Dismayed by the lack of public attention to the problem, one recovering addict has decided to demonize the drug on his own. Peter Staley, a driving force behind the AIDS activist group Act Up, has spent $6,000 of his own money to place provocative ads on phone booths along Eighth Avenue in Chelsea. He said it took two months to persuade Verizon to accept the posters, which shout ''Huge Sale, Buy Crystal, Get HIV Free!''
The ads, which began appearing last Wednesday, will remain up until early February. ''My goal is to get the drug the reputation it deserves,'' said Mr. Staley, who has been sober for 13 months. ''My fear is that young gay men think it's the latest party drug. I want crystal to get the stigma that heroin has. It is not glamorous, it is not alluring.''
Like many other crystal neophytes, Mr. Staley began using the drug to keep him going at all-night dance clubs. ''I've tried every drug in the book and never got addicted, but this one grabbed me by the throat the first time I did it,'' said Mr. Staley, 43, who has been H.I.V. positive since 1985. ''I'm a control freak. I mean, I couldn't get addicted to cigarettes, but I couldn't give crystal up.''
Drug experts say there is no methadone, no silver bullet, to treat methamphetamine addicts. For this reason, substance abuse counselors are preaching to ''just say no'' to crystal. It is a message that many gay men do not want to hear.
''When it comes to crystal, there is no moderation,'' said Dawn Harbatkin, the medical director at Callen-Lorde, which is conducting a pilot study on ways to treat crystal meth addiction. ''I don't have any great treatment options right now. This drug really terrifies me, and I think what we're seeing is the tip of the iceberg.''

Mr. Staley spent $6,000 of his own money to place the ads on public phones in Chelsea. ''My goal is to get the drug the reputation it deserves,'' he said.

Volkswagen Beetle Problems
One or more power windows may fail. Our technicians tell us this is commonly due to a failed window regulator which will require replacement.
One or both head lights may not work due to premature head light bulb burnout and/or bulb harness failure. Care should be taken to inspect the head light harness connector for damage when replacing bulbs. Damaged connectors should be replaced.
Due to an ignition component and/or engine coolant temperature sensor failure, the Check Engine Light may illuminate. Replacement of the failed component will be necessary to correct this concern.

The fuel rail is a tube that carries fuel to the fuel injectors. A sealing cap on the fuel rail may leak, increasing the risk of a fire. Dealers will replace the affected fuel rail to correct this concern.
A sealing cap at the fuel rail may fail, allowing fuel to leak into the engine compartment, increasing the risk of a fire. Dealers will replace the fuel rail on affected vehicles to correct this concern.
If a rear suspension trailing arm becomes bent, its durability may be compromised and it could break unexpectedly. If this were to occur vehicle control would be affected, increasing the risk of a crash. When parts become available, dealers will install a sheet metal inlay on each of the rear axle trailing arms to prevent sudden loss of vehicle control should a rear trailing arm suddenly break.

YES ! Lamictal can make drug test positive for PCP. Make sure you tell them or whoever you need to about being on Lamictal. Have a lab use a maspectrometer specifically for a PCP scan to officially rule a false positive.I had to do the same thing,tell them before I took the test was prescription drugs I was taking.

Take care,
Dextromethorphan is on this list, but not as a false positive for PCP. And it definitely can cause that. Just letting folks know.

text: A line of collectible action figures issued to commemorate the 10th anniversary of Quentin Tarantino's violent Reservoir Dogs has sparked an uproar in Australia between children's advocacy groups and toy retailers, Melbourne's The Age newspaper reported today (Thursday). One of the dolls ("Mr. Blonde," played by Michael Madsen in the movie) holds a razor he uses to cut off the ear of another character in the movie. That action figure ("Marvin Nash," played by Kirk Baltz) has a detachable ear. "We are shocked and horrified at violent toys like this being put out onto the market," Barbara Romeril, executive director of Community Child Care in the state of Victoria, told The Age. But the owner of a Melbourne shop, Comics 'R' Us, observed that the expensive ($80.00) set carries a notice that they are recommended for "mature collectors." A similar controversy arose in the U.S. two years ago when an underwear-clad Austin Powers doll that asked "Do I make you horny, baby? Do I?" found its way into Toys 'R' Us stores. The manufacturer said it was intended for record stores and novelty shops and shouldn't have been shipped to toy stores.

New to Typophile? Accounts are free, and easy to set up.
Hi I'm researching the crossover between architecture and typography and one of the areas I'm keen to learn more about, that's currently unclear to me, is Humane Modernism… does anyone know what this means in typographic terms?
Also, does anyone know if certain serif typefaces were used by practitioners of "the international style"? I'm guessing it was all sans serif, but some sans typefaces have humanist qualities that could make them good for long text settings, when it comes to typesetting my report?
Clarendons and Egyptians were used, too.
For example see the magazine "Style Industria" here: http://www.thisisdisplay.org/
This from a 1950s catalog for the Danish furniture company Illums Bolighus.
The types are Rockwell (or close to) and Monotype Grotesque Light.
I love that sample Nick, very nice.
The design store in Cambridge, MA called Design Research from the 1960's used a close-to-Rockwell typeface for their logo as well.

This shot was taken in Cambridge in the UK. We visited Cambridge today to see the carpet of crocuses but although they were up they weren't open so I took some walls instead :o)
This, I think, beats all the crosuses of the world ;-)
At least, it does for me. Thank you so much
for taking this, and bringing it back to us all.
No problem glad you like it. I am sure people in Cambridge might know this wall it's on the side of a pub and obviously the road is called Pound Hill :o)
– hardhhhat
Great shot! That bit of blue is perfect.
Thanks – Glad you pointed that out as I tried it without but I too think that little blue sign works wonders for the comp.
– hardhhhat
As a matter of fact, I live part of the year in Newmarket,
and I go to Cambridge on a regular basis,
but I never stumbled upon this wall..:-)
Have been to Newmarket a couple of times – horses? Pound Hill is just off the ring road on Northampton St. A few years ago I enjoyed shooting flowers but they don't do it for me anymore :o)
– hardhhhat
Horses, indeed. They have been
the first passion of my entire life.
I was brought up by horses,
so to speak . . . :-)
I like your progression from flowers
to walls . . . ;-)
You have such a wonderful eye for composition on these walls, Love the way you set this one up..great looking wall HH..hope you have had a great weekend.
Thanks Kim – had a good day in Cambridge and Sunday in Hitchin got me a few nice shots too ;o) – I just had to have the blue sign in this and the slope of the roof gave me the top crop so I didn't have to do too much work. The risky part was I was stood in the middle of the road while taking the shot so had to be quick :o)
– hardhhhat
Love it!
Thanks Angela always good to hear from you.
– hardhhhat
Wall, of course, are much more dependable than crocuses! (Or markets, for that matter.) You don't have to wait for them, or to hurry for them, and if you come back for different light, they generally are still there. :)
Great shot!
Good point – they also never moan about the make-up or if their bum looks big or the harsh lighting or…. etc etc :o)
– hardhhhat
Great, great, great!
Thanks, thanks, thanks :o)
– hardhhhat
Super work HH.
Thanks Gary.
– hardhhhat
hee hee. Love it!
Thanks Tiznar great to see my old work popping up evey now and then :o)

Anyone have luck with edible bamboos in MN?
Just looking through the plant catalogs, and I was wondering if there are any bamboo plants capable of both producing edible shoots and surviving -20F winters? We're south of the Twin Cities (near Hastings), and it looks like we're getting close to being zone 5a now based on the updated hardiness maps. It looks like "Nuda" might be my best bet. Anyone tried this one, or have another variety to recommend?
I'm fine with winter dieback so long as they resprout from the roots. In fact, I'd probably just cut them back every fall anyway to put straw on top of them for insulation.
Even though some bamboo can grow here, I don't think any would ever be vigorous enough to grow enough shoots for harvest, let alone be large enough. I would think it would be a given not choose a clumping species, as they would inherently not be as vigorous. Nuda is a clumping type.
But it would be nice if you could prove me wrong...

Refinishing Hardwood Floors
Posted by Avi Hadad on Mon, Jan 26, 2015
The cost of dustless refinishing for hardwood floors in the Bay Area can vary greatly. I've seen guys who charge $2.00 a foot and I've seen guys who charge five times that amount. The simple truth is you get what you pay for. The one thing I've noticed is this: if a guy is cheap it is guaranteed you will get a bad job done on your floors. If a guy's price is higher it guarantees nothing. You could still get a bad job.

My life used to be dressy office, then casual office, to home office which means I need something comfortable (very important) but not as one commenter wrote "schlumpy" looking. I could wear pajamas in my office, I don't have customers coming in - but I've always thought that it helps your out look, your point of view, your general sense of well-being if you get up and shower and do whatever and get dressed. Not dressed up, but dressed - but I couldn't figure out what to put on, since I continued to buy my casual office clothes, which don't meet my criteria for home office, grocery shopping, and my afternoons when I take off and go take pictures - outdoor photography is my passion. So...I saw these lightweight fleece separates and thought I'd take a chance on them, because if they looked like what's in the catalog, they'd be perfect for fall and spring, and some days in winter and summer - although I'd bought 'lightweight' fleece from another vendor and it was badly made, so I didn't have high hopes for these from National. BUT, as is usually the case, National surprised me in a very good way: both pants and both tops (1/4 zip) fit perfectly, each piece's size was identical in inches to the other, even the two colors were the same size in inches, each measured the same. What a nice suprise! Those of you who order from other vendors online know that sizes between colors are not (usually) the same - that's so annoying, and the return postage makes the whole experience too expensive to be worth the convenience. NATIONAL continues to provide clothes that fit, that fit my lifestyle, that are comfortable, and good looking. I can't ask for more.So thanks once again NATIONAL, Keep doing what you're doing, you're doing it right!

By Kay
from Racine, WI
These pants fit my mother perfect. Other brands would run too big in the thighs when we would order an XL petite. I still had to hem them a little bit because my mother is really a XL petite -short. They fit every were else so we ordered another color also.
Will be great for cool evenings.

Design Within Reach
167 N Broadway
Milwaukee, WI 53202
(414) 224-5353
The idea for the bake sale started out as a leisurely pastime: to get friends together and baking. When multiple attempts at finding this leisure time proved difficult, Ashley Drew of Make Cake Milwaukee, and Amelinda Burich decided to group their baking efforts for a larger cause. It didn't take long to find their cause in a project begun by two talented women from Milwaukee.
Julie Ruplinger & Wendy Mesich, founders of Off the Grid Mke, had just received some green space from the City of Milwaukee. Their organization, Off the Grid Milwaukee, supports local projects designed to increase community self-reliance. They were given two empty city lots with which to begin their project. In collaboration with Milwaukee Urban Gardens, they want to transform these barren 12,000 square-foot lots at Richards & Clarke Streets into a productive community garden. They want to focus on innovative, hands-on training for their neighbors that will lead to the neighborhood providing for more of their own food needs. Starting this project wasn't cheap and they needed some financial help to get the project off the ground.
Ashley & Amelinda joined forces to recruit as many local bakers as possible. And what a response they received! Up to 40 local bakers, from Bayview to Riverwest, have offered their time, money and talent to bring the bake sale to fruition. The bake sale is on Saturday, April 11th at Design Within Reach. All proceeds with go to benefit Off the Grid and their community garden.

I'm trying to bulk-update entities using a StatelessSession.
Because it's stateless, NHibernate doesn't auto-cascade child entities upon save.
This is fine because I don't want to make any changes to any of the child entities.
Unfortunately, upon save, NHibernate complains:
"object references an unsaved transient instance - save the transient instance before flushing. Type: MyAssembly.MyRandomEntity, Entity: Castle.Proxies.MyRandomEntityProxy"
Of course if I try and update the child entity, I get the error:
"No persister for: Castle.Proxies.MyRandomEntityProxy"
As you can see, the child entity is a proxy because it hasn't been loaded. I don't need it, I don't want to update it... but even if I did I'm not sure how I could.
Any idea how to solve this problem, basically telling it to ignore the transient child entities?
Here is the mapping for the child entity on the parent object:
<many-to-one class="MyAssembly.Flight, MyAssembly, Version=22.214.171.124, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null" name="OutboundFlight">
<column name="OutboundFlightId" />
Here is the Id column on the child entity:
<id name="Id" type="System.Int32, mscorlib, Version=184.108.40.206, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089" unsaved-value="0">

However, after being relentlessly chased down by the Gravity Troops, our hero was finally captured and beamed up to a space ship, only to find a terrifying truth: they were going to clone him.
As an evil plan to organize dangerous races across Gravity Guy's once free world, his DNA was collected and the cloning process began. Along with our hero, other inhabitants were also cloned, so that every time someone loses, the race can be restarted.
Our brave Guy now finds himself on top of towers running for his life, jumping from one platform to another, while avoiding many hazards placed across his path. Just tap the button on the right side of the screen to raise the lifts and on the right to perform a jump - which will definitely come in handy!
