I was looking for a vendor for "Brooks Red and Mavrik" the "Help-me-find.com" gave me Johny Becnal's Show Roses? I never ordered from here. What kind of stock are they grown on? Would like opinion's.
I have ordered from Johnny and am very happy with what I received. At one time he was going to have roses on rootstock other than Fortuniana, whether he has or not I don't know. I didn't ask him about it on my last order as I wanted to try the Fortuniana out here in So.Ca.'s alkaline clay soil.
I would imagine that 2/3 of my roses are from Johnny. Feed back on Johnny. How would you describe him and his roses???????......He is coonass to the core and once you meet him you will never forget him. He is very devoted to his roses. He lives breaths and dreams his roses. He knows his roses. He is hard on his roses and really tells you straight. He is gifted with that special touch.
There are also others too that have some good fortuniana roses. Ken Muncy, James Mills and Giles. All are very helpful. I am really not sure if either of them though is carrying Brooks Red yet, but I think they have Mavrik now. To me each of these people take special pride with their roses.
Johnny charges $25 per bush plus shipping. No advance payment or credit card charge is needed until you received your roses. Since his roses are shipped in the same pot as grown in the field, the one week shipping time causes a lot of stress to the roses inside. My experience is that it takes about two months for the roses to recover.
FYI, I am growing a plant of fortuniana, yes, a plant, just to see how cold it can survive. Call me a doubting Thomasina, but before I buy ....
Anyway, so far this winter we've had at least three weeks with nighttime temps in the lower teens, and a night with 9F. (Max min thermometer, not me sitting out by the roses all night)
Fortuniana still has all of its leaves. All of them, and they are alive. NO winter protection at all, nada, zilch.
I did loose one narrow cane last summer when I tried to peg it down and it was in contact with wet leaves...canker got it. A second cane has a touch of canker 6 inches from the end, same problem from early November, contact with the ground.
I'll let you know how it makes it through the spring temperature swings.
Dear Folks,
Have ordered from Johnny many times this past year. He is an extremely knowledgeable gentleman who truly knows how to produce a superior plant. His background in budding goes way back and I have found his "inverted T-bud" to be excellent. In Florida, when planting our bushes, it has been "de regle" to put milorganite and superphosphate in the hole. But Johnny gave me another "recipe" of "1/4 cup fish meal with 1/4 cup timed-release fertizlier of choice, soil, then another 1/4 of each. Grew the old standard and grew Johnny's way and you would be astonded at the difference. Needless to say, I am a convert!! My Papillon
(under a year old) was 6' tall X 3 1/2' wide. The man knows his business and is a pleasure to deal with--my mama always told me--"you get what you pay for"!!
I wish I had not wrote that down because to me its just a normal expression. Probably a southern name given, I do not know where it came from. "Canjun to the Core" might would have sounded more natural for somefolks not knowing that its normal.....I got a lot of I guess what is normal CA in me but not the accent just the blood. Raised in Lake Charles and many Louisiana kin I am called CA all the time by Texans.. I really do not know what I am but it never offends me. I hope not Johnny cause I might not get me anymore roses but I have laughed and told him he is pure CA.
I think he is proud of hertiage.
Have you ever listened to Justine Wilson a southern Canjun
cook and humorist?
Well Johnny loves to tell jokes and stories.
Or watched that movie Southern Comfort and listen to the Cajun accent. I do not know what it is. Its just something that is used down here. Maybe you have to eat crawfish to understand it!
To Germaine,
Thanks for the planting recipe from Johnny. I am now kicking myself because I just planted my four roses from him last week with the superphosphate in the hole. Oh I'm sure that will work fine, but I feel like the person on the commercial who just realized "I couldda had a V-8".
Thanks again for the info.
Suzanne Horn in L.A.
Last spring when JB spoke at Tenarky midwinter meeting, he said he would regraft budwood that didn't take and reuse the rootstock. We sent him Malcolm Manners write up on virus and talked about the problem.
Last weekend he said that if a bud doesn't take, he will toss the rootstock because of possible problems.
So, it sounded to me as if he continues to hone his art.
Am I missing something? Is Malcolm's experience in Lakeland, Florida being used to support the suitability of Fortuniana as a rootstock in North Jersey?
It amazes me that no one has brought up this same discussion about using Dr. Huey as rootstock in colder climates. Ca growers (such as Edmunds and J+P), insist on using Dr. Huey as their primary type of rootstock. True, Dr. Huey does do well in Ca, but the trouble is, Dr. Huey doesn't do as well as multiflora or Fortuniana for me here in the PNW. I have grown more and more plants on Fortuniana in the last decade and have seen no problems at all with it, no winter kill, no stunted plants, no root problems, etc. I only wish I could find a grower who will give me the choice of either Fortuniana or Multiflora. One way or another, I intend to move completely away from using Dr. Huey as rootstock in my garden.
Gee, do you suppose that's why my roses from Pickering on Multiflora, are so wimpy, while all the rest on Dr. Huey are thriving, Yup. I think as things progress, the suppliers will have to start using root stock that makes sense for different regions of the country, of course the prices will no doubt reflect that. Would you be willing to pay the extra, if it came down to it? Or am I being nieve(sp) here ?.....Greg
I'm not sure how to read in to your post, Loren, or did you missunderstand me? I don't think Dr. Huey should be used in other climates at all, if fortunaiana works for you, then it should be avaiable on the rose you want, and the same for Multiflora or Menetti(sp). Does this make it clearer?...Greg
I just went back to this posting today; however, I had to laugh because I realized on Wednesday that I have overprotected my roses. I literally can plant roses or any other plant because the ground is not frozen under the thick layer of hay. I guess I can try fortunia.
The multiflora works well for me.
I had the pleasure of hearing Johnny speak today at the Tenarky District Workshop. He agrees he's hard on his rose, said he usually feeds once a year. He told us about a rose he budded and donated to Tenarky's Auction last winter. The man who won it got King in the next fall show. As for cold, Johnny said that it had been 17 degrees at least three times this winter in Lousiana, his slide was a fortuniana bush that looked about ten feet tall and at least that wide planted next to a dead Canadian multiflora. I think his exact words about F. taking the cold were "bull". He is a joy to listen to and really knows his roses. His slide presentation included beds when first planted and the same beds nine months later. The change was absolutely incredible. He also told us he doesn't even look where he prunes and brought samples of the growth created by his pruning. Good strong growth that was actually larger than the originating cane. His presentation included his new roses, some not even named yet. Absolutely breathtaking. I can't wait to order from him. Oh yeah, coonass to the core, I'd have to agree. Love to hear him talk.
We had single digit temps for almost 6 weeks in Dec and Jan and my new fort roses planted last fall look much better than the bare roots on Dr. Huey planted in November. We will see how they do in our late spring freezes but I am impressed so far on the hardiness.
Sandy, did you tell him I called him a Coonass? Oh Lord, but I think he has called himself that. So that is where he was. I called him yesterday and got no answer or no return call from caller ID. So, he is selling our roses to Tennessee. My My. We are just not going to have anyleft down here.
He's probably out getting his truck repaired. It broke down on his way to Tenarky,He had it towed back home, transferred the load, borrowed his son's truck , and still got to Memphis.
Because my Fortuniana in the back yard continues to thrive, I now have Slats, Cajun Sunrise, _______ Swirls, and Pops Warriner on Fort. Really put my money on my own advice.
Then I talked to someone from Bowling Green KY, who also has 'em on Fort. and he winter protects with pine straw, but no cones.
(Sandi, I'm sorry we missed each other...When is your soc. show scheduled?)
Ann, I was beginning to think you were invisible! I looked for you all weekend, every time they called your name, you never came up! LOL. Wasn't it great?!?!
Our show is June 2, place TBA. I've got the site up, check it out. It's so not finished, but at least SOMETHING is up.
I bought a Memphis Queen while I was there, got knocked out of all my bidding. Did you get anything? I liked that Cajun Sunrise a lot. How's it do for you?
The grafted roses from Jonny filled the back seat of the car. Cajun Sunrise was the smallest (JB warned me about the size when I called him to order it). I am really hoping that the colors will be even stronger up here in the north country.
At Auction, I got Bless Bridges, which I have desired strongly since talking to folks at Carolina.
I'm still getting used to the thought of budding minis onto fortuniana for increased stem length and bloom production.
Becnel is out on the delta, way out. He's on the west bank, down below Belle Chase Naval Air Station. Maybe five miles as the cranes fly below Gretna, many river miles below New Orleans. (He used to be known for his citrus orchards and creole tomatoes.)
On a map, go to Belle Chase, and stay on the road by the river until you reach 8134 Highway 23. Chere, it is flat out there.
Understand ROSA FORTUNIANA. It is a evergreeen plant while most other root stocks used Dr. Hewey, Multifora etc are dicidous and require a dormant period. This is why it is the only root stock recommmended for South Florida, where Roses grow year round. Other roses burn out in a year or two. That is just one of the important reasons to use Fortuniana. It is nematode resistant. This is very important to South Fla. where it does not get cold enough to kill many. Nematodes cause root decay, abbrevated roots, yellow leaves, premature wilting, stunting and lesions. Fortuniana roots can asorb more water and nutrients. The root stock preforms well in warm weather. The roots do not grow deep only about 16 to 18 inches but do grow out laterally as much as 6 ft or more on some roses. They have tender feeder roots near the top of the ground so it is important not to walk on top of the roots. You need to stake the plant to prevent it form blowing around and breaking off the feeder roots. Jackson and Perkins sell roses grafted on Fortuniana root stock at nurseries only and they have a sticker on each pot that states "This rose is grafted on the PERFECT rootstock FORTUNIANA" I think that says it all. On Johny B., his roses are about the best that I have and I have roses from every nursery you have talked about and more. I will continue to purchase roses from him especially if I cannot obtain the rose I want from other sources. You have forgotten the oldest and largest nursery that grows on Fortuniana and that is Nelson Roses. A wholesale nursery outside Orlando. There are others in South Florida and if you ever want their names and addresses then let me know. Costo has started selling Nelson Roses 3 gal. pot $10.69 now beat that. Jim Giles and Ken Muncy are around $17. J&P sell some roses thru Home Depot and I have gotten some very good plants from them. Betty Boop, 4th of July, Veterans Honor, Diana Princess of Wales etc. You will love Johnny's Black Magic, Jema, Sweet Amy and others. Lat
I was looking up something on the old discussions and came across your post.
You'll have to let me know how your J.B. roses are doing (and what you ordered) and how they survive the winter.
Between you ordering the J.B. roses and Diane ordering from Carlton... I might have to think about updating my garden of mostly "bankers" a little or else get used to my best rose being "king" ;-) (or princess!)
Now just why did you do that. Johnny told me he did not like me calling him a C. I was trying to forget it. I really can not tell sometimes if he is picking with me or not. He said he was not. But I still am not sure. I just thought that was what everyone from Louisiana was called. I lived in La for 13 years. I saw nothing wrong with it, half the time I am still called a Texas CA. I do not do that anymore. Johnny is simply CAJUN! Got to keep my rose supplier happy! I repent!
I still like the way they talk though.
you can call him all sorts of names, but he knows his s**t. He spent two hours on the phone with me (his nickel). All those Becnels are growers and have so many things. He shoud be proud of his roses. I have never seen better! I quess because I am from down the road so to speak I can get past that YAT!!!
I planted 20 Becnel roses in late February and have lost 10 of them -- but I'm not sure what went wrong. (I've grown roses for 15 years, including ones on fortuniana.)
My Becnels were planted in a raised bed 25 x 90'. I followed Johnny's instructions for planting. The soil in this bed is good. We have about 60 other roses growing in this bed.
None of these Becnels have not grown as vigorously as I was led to expect. Bear in mind that I really wanted these roses to thrive. They have not been neglected. I amended the soil according to Becnel's instructions and have not fertilized them since. They get full sun all day.
Back in May,I noticed that some of the poor-looking Becnels were loosely tied to their stakes. I thought this might be disturbing the roots, so I re-staked them and secured both the fortuniana base and the upper portion of the bush.
After re-staking them, I have not lost any more of them, but they are still scrawny. Seems I remember Mr. Becnel saying his bushes would be growing blooms suitable for the show table in their first season in the garden.
So I'll give them another year in the garden.
DixieRose, it could well have been from the plants moving back and forth. The plants you get from Johnny are really young, and the roots are very small and tender. However, they usually grow very fast. I planted 15 of his roses this Spring and they probably average over 4 feet tall right now. There's a couple of them that I hope to get some blooms off of for our show this Fall.
He shipped me some bad plants this year. Last year I got a virused Affirm. This year I got a virused Gemini and a virused Brooks Red. I have spoken or emailed several other people who have been shipped virused Hot Princess, Tickled Pink, Affirm, and Bees Knees. He denied that he had virus, but he did refund my money.
The plants he shipped this year had almost no roots, which may be what your problem is with the ten that died.
The first year plants I got from him did well, but he has not had a good track record with me the last two years. I don't plan to give a chance for a third strike.
I'm sorry to hear of your problems with Johnny's roses. I've bought between 75 & 80 from him in the last four years and have only had problems with three bushes, which he replaced. One other thing. All his plants are in a greenhouse, so they need to be acclimated to full sun. As for virus, so far (knock wood) I have not seen any on the bushes that came from him.
I have bought numerous roses from JB. They sometimes arrive a little beat up from shipping but always take off quickly. They have always bloomed profusely by fall. Maybe it's the accomodating weather here in eastern North Carolina. Would really recommend cajun moon, cajun sunrise, and mavrik.
As far as I know Johnny doen't have a web site or e-mail, you have to call him at 504-394-6608. Just a few of his roses are Brooks Red, Cajun Sunrise, Affirm, Mavrik, Raspberry Swirls, Cajun Moon, Pop Warner, Fantasy and many others.
We had Johnny at our last meeting. I swear if there was any man alive that can talk his roses to the least little detail that man can. I have heard Johnny talk many times. (I think he was practicing on us for the New Orleans convention, surely he had to had been.) Maybe it because of my rose society's men and their closeness. But I swear. I have never seen Johnny as perfect as he was last week. I swore for the longest that he keeps secrets. Just knew he just must tell some of what he does to those roses and only the elite he tells his real secrets to get those roses like that.
I guess has convinced me. He does not do that. The same thing he tells he tells over and over again. Swears it. I can tell my men asking him questions that he wants his roses done like he does them and we will get roses like he does. I guess he does not keep secrets.
Lane does not believe in all this rose foolishness. Thinks its silly and lots of waste of time. Tolerates it but really old fashion. He was glued to Johnny.
All this week with me still pruning roses and putting out organics. (I am very late this year) I have listened to. Do only what Johnny saids. Johnny this Johnny that. I told you! I told you! You feed those roses too much. Is that one of those 9 ingredients Johnny uses. I swear. Next lecture I am going to bring a tape. Lane may not grow roses but he has eyes. He has watched Johnny's roses and he just can see his roses are something different than regular roses. I do not know why.
I am going to try, really try to remember. If not. I am going to cry big time.
The current list is a moot point. Johnny is very, very ill at this time and is not shipping until further notice. You could, however, leave him a message and he might get back to you when he is feeling a bit stronger, should that occur.
At last count (1/7/04) Johnny had about 250 unanswered phone messages, which he is not up to returning at this time.
Perhaps it might be worthwhile checking back in a few months.
I was led into this thread looking for Becnel's on the web... no website. I am sad and sorry to here that this interesting sounding gentleman has been ill in recent months. Is there an update on his condition, and the roses?
His firm has been recommended to me as a possible source of a Marechal Niel on fortuniana. What is the status on virus in his stock? thanks, Allison
Thank you for the update, sacerdos. I am so sorry to have missed meeting a gentleman like him.... some of the best people I have Ever Known were "coonass to the core".... I love Cajun culture! I was excited to hear about a cajun rose nursery, but I heard about it too late.
Does anyone know if his family are carrying on the tradition? I think it would be well worth my time for a trip over there from east Texas to check them out, if they are open to the public.
I have been corresponding with Calvin Boutte, a good friend and "student" of Johnny's. Calvin is currently taking orders for and shipping Johnny's roses. He says there is an extensive inventory of plants available. Calvin can be contacted at 337-394-5662. Leave a message on the answering machine and he will return the call.
I can not help but think about Johnny by hearing her say. "
some of the best people I have Ever Known were "coonass to the core".... "
Once I said that Johnny was Coonass to the Core and it got back to him...I honestly do not know if he was teasing me or serious. He told me.....he did not like being called a Coonass. Told me a back of a coons tail or something. Would you like being called a Coonass. I kept my mouth shut. I get called a coonass all the time just because I was raised in Louisiana. I thought it was just normal. Anyway. I never called Johnny a Coonass again. I changed it too......Cajun to the Core.......But he sure was Coonass to the Core! Even if he did not like it.
And thinking about Calvin with Johnny's Roses. Johnny sure loved Calvin. Calvin is too one of my favorite exhibitors. I just can not believe he grows those roses like he does. I still remember when he helped Johnny bring roses to our group. I think he just got into rose about the same time I got my first order of hts. I just can believe how he advanced like he did.
Anita and Calvin are just precious. But...Pure Cajun if he too does not like being a Coon's tail. And it reminded me of these pictures that George took with my camera at the New Orleans Convention. They were very dark and not clear. But he took a series of these. This is only 4. What I see in them is how much Johnny loved Calvin. I had to work to get them this clear. First he is talking with a friend. Then. Once he notices people taking Calvins photo...He just never takes his eyes off Calvin. I remember seeing this like it was yesterday. He did like that fellow and was so proud that day. I think Johnny would like Calvin handling the roses. If he gave his gift of roses to anyone it has to be Calvin.
And Sandy. When you think of Minis how can you not think of Sandy. Mini Queen. I remember reading that name long before I ever knew I would ever get to see the famous lady of roses.
One of my biggest regrets is that I did not get to meet Johnny Becnel. I have about six of his roses, I talked to him several times, particularly when he was sick. Just a marvelous gentleman. He said he was a Christian and was not afraid of what was to come.....
Just an update - Calvin is now handling Johnny's Roses - I have 300 bushes and all HT and Floribundas are on his fortuniana. Bushes will get 12 ft high and 6 ft wide if you let them. My Tiffany Lynn mini is 6 years old and stands 6 ft tall and 6 ft wide throwing stems like a floribunda. Of course for me its easy, if I need a bush its just a short drive across the river. Would recommend his bushes to all in warm climates. Since roots are near surface hard freezes may injure them. With bushes at 12 ft in height and hurricane winds @ 100 MPH with some regularity, humidity and heat that encourges fungus and insects one would not think of this as the place to grow roses but.... This is my first message - was surfing and noticed the questions about Johnny. Before he grew roses he was a farmer. He and I joined the New Orleans Rose Society together about 30+ years ago. Many many memories of the man. In our society everytime he'd come up with some new idea for growing roses, all would laugh and ridicule and then go home and immediately try it. He operated by the farmers almanac we laughed, then sales of the book skyrocketed in this area. He is missed.

|One Direction
The group are currently in the middle of their 'Take Me Home' world tour and the 'Little Things' singer often causes concern by forgetting to pack - and has even turned up to airports without his passport in the past.
His bandmate Liam Payne said: "Zayn is the most likely to forget his passport, and has done a number of times."
Harry Styles added: "Zayn often forgets to pack his suitcase before tours."
The band's road crew are said to have nicknamed the 20-year-old singer 'Nellie' - in reference to an elephant, an animal famed for its impressive memory - but Zayn has been warned to be more organised ahead of the US leg of the tour, which begins in Florida next month.
A source told The Sun newspaper: "Zayn has been told to get his act together this time."
Meanwhile, One Direction - of which Louis Tomlinson and Niall Horan are also members - have announced plans for a new book.
'Where We Are: Our Band, Our Story' will be released in August and tells the tale of their "phenomenal" story in their own words, as well as featuring "exclusive beautiful photos, backstage snapshots, hand-written annotations and brand new insights into the boys' world".

Nuts and Grains: Nutritional Comparisonby Émilie Carignan
published March 21, 2011
Tasty (and healthy) choices to make
Nuts and grains: they certainly have nutritional benefits that add to any menu. Before that, however, you need to know which to choose and why. We compared the main nutritional characteristics of almonds, walnuts, pistachios, cashews, pecans and pumpkin seeds, so as to find out all they can offer*.
*These were calculated based on 30g portions. Source: Passeport santé (French only).
- Large portions, since nuts and grains are very high in fat for the most part;
- Those that are coated in sugar, yogourt or salt, as these chance their nutritional value significantly.
Healthy tips:
- Roasted soy beans can be eaten like nuts, but contain two to three times less fat and twice as much protein than other grain and nuts;
- It is preferable to buy nuts in their shell. Otherwise, they will go bad fast. Keep nuts and grains in the fridge in order for them to last longer.

Bob Dylan had the surprising knack for writing lyrics that were so eloquently literary and from the heart that when he paired up his writing style with his simplistic guitar and harmonica, a new chord was struck that hit the world known as folk. That was back during a time when pop culture set itself aside and the independence and freedom to express was in full swing. Folk music was now just as rampant as rock and roll, and all for the better.
Now flashing forward to 2011, L.A bound George Ellias attempts to bring Dylan's style back to the masses with his new indie folk EP called Wanderlust, and it's just as righteously sound. He conjures up a type of nostalgia on tracks such as "Wonder Babe" and "Stand Ashore," hearkening back to tracks easily found in catalogs of Dylan or even Woody Guthrie. Their influences are deeply rooted in Ellias' own creations, and it's a good feeling knowing that a lot can be said from such simplicity amidst the gargantuan labels of today's current music scene. It's just what you need for those types of Mondays.
Check out "Stand Ashore" below as well as the rest of Wanderlust EP at the George Ellias Bandcamp webpage or on iTunes.

Publishers Weekly
Freedman, who "translates" legal jargon into English for an investment bank and writes the "Legal Lingo" column for the New York Law Journal,offers a cornucopia of hilarious, offbeat and downright bizarre examples of simple concepts contorted into words that defy understanding, often retaining centuries-old lingo like "Further affiant sayeth naught" (which means: this is the end of the affidavit). Freedman is as much reformer as humorist, and he ably demonstrates that legal documents can be written in understandable prose. He also skewers the contingent of lawyers and academics who resist such changes in the name of precision and lampoons flaws in the legal system, such as judges' refusal to explain instructions to jurors who are mystified by phrases such as "Circumstantial evidence is evidence that, if found to be true, proves a fact from which an inference of the existence of another fact may be drawn." Occasionally the three-jokes-a-page approach is more cute than clever, but this lighthearted farrago of the follies of the law is sure to amuse and to convince readers that legal language can be made plain.

Appartement sale ! ( drap du lit tâche)odeur nauséabonde dans la salle de bain et ou la douche est tellement petite que l'on se cogne de partout ! Pas dans mes attentes car ne correspond pas vraiment aux photos ! Hôte très gentil mais devrait revoir la qualité de sa prestation
L immeuble était sous un échafaudage ! Et cela n'avait pas été précisé !
Vraiment déçue
Although we didn't meet Maxi in person, he was very friendly and responsive and answered our questions promptly by phone or email. The apartment was clean and conveniently located. The bed was comfortable.
But there were problems:
The cooking utensils were not suitable for basic cooking, which is why we wanted an apartment. The stairs are steep, windy, and narrow. The lighting was poor, making reading difficult, and there was very limited hot water. The bathroom is tiny and water poured onto the floor during showers. We had to mop the floor after each one. The walls are thin.
The reservation was canceled 27 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.
Maxi was very helpful before and during our stay in Barcelona. We asked a lot of questions because which he patiently answered. We were 5 persons including our three kids - and the little nice flat suited our family perfectly.
Had a great stay at Maxi's place. Went with 2 girlfriends and there was plenty of room for the 3 of us. It's in (in my opinion) the best location in El Born. The perfect place for exploring the city on foot.
Maxi was a very good host. He is very friendly and always ready to help you!
The apartement is the best place in town:all you need is there and in the neighbourhood you can quickly find all you need for the stay.And you are in 10 minutes walk also on the beach!
We enjoyed our stay and we can recommand this apartement!
We will come back!
Gisa and Peter
Check-in was smooth. Apartment was clean. Shower was tricky, but they a always are in Europe. The bed was actually really comfortable and the layout was nice. Washing machine is convenience. The born district is the best area to stay in my opinion. Maxi was easy to contact and responsive. 5 stars
- Great neighborhood
- Very responsive host
- Very fast wifi
- Host provided just the bare minimum of amenities. Basically I had one roll of toilet paper and 5 napkins. I had to go out and buy toilet paper, paper towels, soap, shampoo, etc.
- The furnishings were also the bare minimum. The bed was very cheap, as was the other furniture.
L'appartamento si trova in un quartiere molto bello, servito, centrale, ottimo per muoversi a piedi (anche con bambini al seguito..) e vicinissimo alla fermata della metro ... Si respira il fascino della vita di Barcellona gironzolando tra le stradine e i vicoli stretti !!
L'appartamento è arredato in modo semplice ma assolutamente fedele alle foto pubblicate e abbiamo trovato tutto quello che è descritto (il bagno è molto piccolo ma è lo scotto di una casa antica nel centro!!) ... fino a 4 persone (2 adulti e 2 bambini nel nostro caso) e per un periodo breve (siamo rimasti 4 giorni) riesci a gestirti bene. Prima di partire abbiamo scritto a Maxi più volte e lui ci ha sempre risposto in modo veloce e puntuale. Ad accoglierci c'era Deborah che ci ha spiegato ogni cosa e con cui abbiamo concordato anche per la consegna delle chiavi (è stata molto disponibile nel tenerci le valigie per consentirci di godere anche delle ultime ore prima della partenza per l'aeroporto!). Ci siamo trovati molto bene ed è stata un'ottima esperienza (la prima per noi con airbnb..) !!! Sicuramente la consigliamo per chi vuole alloggiare nel cuore della città ed entrare in contatto con questo quartiere così affascinante !
Die Absprachen mit Maxi waren einfach und schnell. Die Wohnung liegt perfekt und superzentral mitten im Born. Von dort aus kann man vieles zu Fuß erreichen.
Die zentrale Lage bedeutet aber gleichzeitig, dass das Haus sehr alt ist. Die Inneneinrichtung der Wohnung ist sehr schön, es ist sauber, aber alles ist ein bisschen alt.
Das Badezimmer ist sehr klein, wirklich sehr klein und die Dusche ist nicht nutzbar ohne eine Überschwemmung anzurichten ;-) Für ein paar Tage in Barcelona aber eine super Bleibe!
Maxi and Vero were very friendly and created nice atmosphere. I appreciate that they kept the place clean and left the house in order. I hope they had a good time in Japan.
Es un chico encantador , simpático y super enrollado a parte de limpio y ordenado....me ha dejado el piso en perfecto estado casi mejor de como se lo había entregado...es el sueño de cualquier anfitrión.Vuleve cuando quieras!!!!!
Maxi and I met while I was looking for a place to stay in Barcelona and kept in touch even after my visit and even though I couldn't stay at his place...
My dates ended up not fitting with his schedule but throughout the whole time we were talking, and until I found out my dates had to change, he was on top of things answering messages, checking city information out for me, personally checking if I could stay elsewhere, and now, months later, helping me with my plans to visit the city again.
On an even more personal note, he's quirky, reliable, ingenious and possibly a hedonist; a tío bien guay. So basically a cool dude, or un güey con madre.
What shall I say about Maxi ? He is a good friend and the best neighbor you can have, always ready to help.
His flat is very nice and very well located, in the best part of Barcelona, near The Ramblas, museums, the beach... fantastic ! You will have a nice holidays if you stay there.
In a certain way we can say I met Maxi through Airbnb. We both rent apartments in the same building and therefore we have interests in common. He is really a very helpful person and someone I absolutely trust. You can be sure that he will do his best to make you have a pleasant stay in his apartment.
I with no doubt recommend him as a host!
No siempre es fácil encontrar en una ciudad un lugar encantador donde quedarse. El departamento de Maxi esta increíblemente ubicado y tiene lo necesario para pasar unos días increíbles visitando Barcelona. Maxi es super amable y no dudes en pedirle información sobre los mejores lugares de la ciudad. Los conoce todos. Definitivamente un gran lugar y un gran anfitrión.

In an important development for scholars and Joyce-enthusiasts everywhere, the Irish National Library has recently made many of its rare James Joyce manuscripts available online. Previously, Joyce's manuscripts were closely guarded, with use heavily restricted (or made very expensive) by Joyce's grandson, but as you may know, on January 1st of this year, many of his works moved into the public domain. The manuscripts now available on the Irish National Library's website include corrected page proofs of Finnegan's Wake, early notes and drafts for Ulysses and beyond, and one of Joyce's all-purpose notebooks, full of reading lists, musings, accountings, and passages from his favorite books and poems. All the material is currently available in PDF format only, but the library has promised that higher resolution images are forthcoming — on Bloomsday, of course. [via Jacket Copy]

$3 for a can of PBR? It already has.
Butter beer!
Hubs only drinks big friendlies
Sensibly sipped.
Best of the cheaper beers! Nice design too!
God. Even the beer is turning into a hipster.
@GieslaAnne so they're just using the 2nd logo w/ a different color scheme? No complaining, mind you.
@citypages That's bound to be controversial. But as long as there's still an ear of corn in every bottle, count me in from June - August.
Idk I like what it looks like now better, but as long as it tastes the same I will always be a fan of the friendly beer
Delicious, delicious GBP
@citypages can they reconsider? The Nordeast label is so perfect already :(
From a design standpoint, I think it was time for a branding revamp from Grain Belt, especially the Premium line - considering it's really the 'main' Grain Belt I don't know why 'Premium' had to be front and center when it really wasn't a modifier of any sort. I'm bummed Nordeast is losing the Neon sign charm, though glad to see it brought into the fold.
Still tastes like shit. Do a blind test and I bet you can't tell the difference between these 3 versions
Glenn Byer beautiful!
Wait, so this temp throwback is not temporary but rather permanent? Oh I don't know if I like the sound of that. Throbacks are cool for a short period of time, but I thought the current designs were just fine! Especially for the tallboys.
I like it
Grain Belt: tasty stuff
Just wish it wasn't so hard to find GB Light in stores here
You can put lipstick on a pig ......
So what you're saying is you're a weenie who can't stand beer.
You mean like a neon sign? Because you surely don't drink "light" beer.....
You shouldn't talk about your mother that way.
Yes you are.

Stanislaus County homeowners who've opted to go ahead and build that extra room - without a proper building permit - will have until the end of the year to set things straight with the county.
The Turlock City Council passed an ordinance on Tuesday that prohibits new pet stores from selling unaltered cats and dogs. The ordinance was added to the municipal code restrictions already in place that require breeders to purchase a certificate and limit each adult animal to only one litter a year.
Turlock's budget is now in the hands of the full City Council - and city employee unions - as the Budget Subcommittee wrapped up their work Friday afternoon.
The Turlock of 2030 has been narrowed down to four defined visions with two clear frontrunners, but the question remains: Should Turlock grow entirely to the southeast or in a more compact plan that spreads new homes between the northwest and southeast?
What had once been considered a possible case of fraud at the City of Turlock was chalked up to misinformation on Tuesday night.
The axe came down again at the Stanislaus County Board of Supervisors meeting on Tuesday.
Victims of workplace discrimination will have a new opportunity to file complaints locally, as the federal Equal Employment Opportunity Commission will begin offering office hours on some Sundays in Modesto.
The City of Turlock receives millions of dollars each year from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, but in order to be eligible for funding the city must complete a Consolidated Plan explaining how it will use the money.
The Turlock City Council shifted $5.35 million from overfunded self-insurance accounts into General Fund reserves during a special meeting Wednesday night, but questions lingered as to how those accounts became so inflated in the first place.
The cuts kept coming at the Stanislaus County Board of Supervisors meeting on Tuesday.
The Turlock Citizens Coalition, a group opposing the installation of a new synthetic turf track and all-weather field at Turlock High School's Joe Debely Stadium, has dropped its lawsuit against the City of Turlock, the Turlock City Council, the Turlock Redevelopment Agency, and the three individual council members who voted in favor of the project - Ted Howze, Amy Bublak and Kurt Spycher.
Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger announced a revised budget proposal on Friday which he said would see the state "live within its means" by adding no new taxes but making "terrible" cuts to reduce $19.1 million in costs - including elimination of the state's welfare to work program, most childcare for the poor, and 60 percent of mental health funding.
Stanislaus County redevelopment agencies are $13 million poorer this week, following a Monday state deadline to relinquish local funds to help pay for state obligations.
The City of Turlock will face a less severe budget deficit than originally estimated, but cuts still need to be made. On Thursday, the Turlock City Council budget subcommittee took a look at the police and fire budgets, entertaining suggestions that could see Turlock's K-9 program cut.
The rollercoaster of planning the City of Turlock's 2010-2011 budget has had its ups and downs, but Tuesday's meeting of the budget subcommittee ended on a high point, namely, the discovery of approximately $4 million in effective General Fund reserves.
The selection process for the 2015-2016 Stanislaus County Civil Grand Jury has started. Citizens interested in serving on the Civil Grand Jury are encouraged to contact the Grand Jury Office at 558-7766 or go on line at: http://stanct.org/sites/default/files/Affidavit%202015_2016.pdf to download an application form.
It's a common complaint in Turlock: Why is their road being fixed and not mine?
Events could be returning to the downtown Turlock area with a bridal showcase this spring and a monthly food fair this summer pending the Turlock City Council's approval of road closures for the events at Tuesday's City Council meeting.
Caltrans and its partners are beginning the first phase of a $133 million project to create a unique protective structure to protect the roadway from rockslides and restore State Route 140 between Mariposa and El Portal, and provide a safe, direct route to enter Yosemite National Park.
As part of an ongoing effort to successfully implement Assembly Bill 60, the California Department of Motor Vehicles announced it is seeking public comment on several potential changes to future application processes.
While local legislators may hold different views on issues affecting the region they have one thing in common: Turlock.

Gallery: Magical OLED Installation by Torafu Architects Is Inspired By ...
Torafu Architects designed a magical installation inspired by Yozakura, a traditional Japanese custom of enjoying flowering cherry blossoms during the night. Commissioned by Kaneka for last year's edition of the Milano Saloni, the twinkling installation exposed OLED (organic light-emitting diode) display panels, gently floating within Kaneka's dark space. Thousands of LEDs emitted a gentle yet robust light, reminding visitors of the cherry blossom petals that shine during spring nights.
Thousands of red and white lights kept Kaneka's area lit during the massive Italian design festival. Each OLED panel was decorated with delicate paper petals, shining and protecting the organic compound film.
Torafu Architects's magical OLED installation is the perfect balance between the latest lightning technology and ancient Japanese traditions.

Satellite Swarm Spots North Pole Drift 80
from the watch-it-move dept.
We've improved Slashdot's video section; now you can view our video interviews, product close-ups and site visits with all the usual Slashdot options to comment, share, etc. No more walled garden! It's a work in progress -- we hope you'll check it out (Learn more about the recent updates).
This is important work, which compliments terrestial geomagnetic measurements and space based observations.
The earth's magnetic field results from a planetary dynamo. Magnetic field lines get frozen into the electrically conductive fluid core. Then, differential motions in the fluid causes the magnetic field to get twisted up -- it's no longer is the simple dipole (like those bar magnets that you played with as a kid). Instead, the earth's magnetic field develops high order moments (sorta like bumps and dips). These shapes evolve as the conductive core moves. Eventually, the magnetic field gets so tangled up, that it unravels. At that time, the earth's field reverses. These magnetic field reversals show up in the geologic record
Measurements like the ESA Swarm satellite give us a handle on the evoloution of the Earth's magnetic field, as well as showing how that field interacts with the magnetic and particle environment of the solar wind.
(disclaimer - most of what I just posted is from a terrific graduate class that I took at the Lunar & Planetary Labs way back in 1979, and when I worked with Charles Sonett, who studied the solar wind. Likely, much of this is way out of date!)
That's not a dumb question.
Some of the biggest breakthroughs have come about from people asking "Why can't we do _X_?"

SCHOOL LEAGUE TABLES: Tests just 'snapshot'.
Margaret McConnell said they were just a snapshot of one day and offered a very narrow assessment of educational progress.
Ms McConnell, who is head of St Nicholas Catholic Primary School in Sutton Coldfield, said: 'I personally don't believe in the league tables and tests. I think it is more important that you are educating the whole child and that is not just one day.
'That means everything - their attitude to other people in the community. It is preparing them for the wider world.'

Real Salt Lake completes acquisition of Joao Plata from Toronto FC
Jan 30, 2013, 4:59 PM EDT
After a year away from Major League Soccer, 20-year-old attacker Joao Plata returns, though he'll do so in a new location. With today's trade between Toronto FC and Real Salt Lake, the former LDU Quito attacker moved to the Rockies in exchange for a 2015 second round pick. He joins a talented RSL attack that includes Alvaro Saborio, Javier Morales, Luis Gil, and the recently returned Robbie Finley,
It's still a bit of a strange move, one that sees two organizational narratives collide. Toronto has acquired a reputation for being a bit of a wayward ship, with former D.C. United architect Kevin Payne brought in to right its course. Real Salt Lake, on the other hand, has been model organization. At least, they've been considered one ever since winning MLS Cup in 2009.
Both narratives, to the extent they can be believed, are worth considering when evaluating the deal.
Toronto FC as a dysfunctional place – That's not necessarily my personal point of view, but it is still the narrative, and when you see a player whose capable of playing for a South American power the LDU Quito reconsider his North American move and temporarily return home, you can't help but wonder what's going on in Toronto.
Now under new management, the Reds have traded the 20-year-old attacker to Real Salt Lake for a pick that's unlikely to get them the value Plata delivered at No. 49 in 2011. The move may be the product of philosophical shifts or new decision-makers getting what they could for a player who didn't figure into plans. Regardless, Toronto's just parted ways with a talented player, and part of the situation comes down to organizational uncertainty.
Real Salt Lake can save these players – When Kwame Watson-Siriboe and Kenny Mansally provided valuable depth to last year's team, RSL reaffirmed a growing reputation for taking other teams' talent and getting the most out of it. Nat Borchers, Kyle Beckerman, Nick Rimando, Chris Wingert, Ned Grabavoy – all of these players are valued contributors, yet none of them started with Real Salt Lake. With Aaron Maund, Cole Grossman and Lovel Palmer joining this offseason, Jason Kries has another class of players who could revitalize their careers in Utah.
Plata has yet to have an MLS career to revitalize, but while in Toronto he showed the potential to be an above average player. With Fabian Espindola traded to New York, Real Salt Lake as a place behind Alvaro Saborio for a player with Plata's skill set. He's somebody that could both combine with Javier Morales as well as win balls knocked down by Saborio. If he plays through the middle (as opposed to out wide, as he did with Toronto), Plata could see an uptick in goals.
This all assumes he plays, but he has the talent to do so. For whatever reason he left Toronto, it's not hard to imagine Plata not having some success in Salt Lake.

Yet you don't have to hit the market. Pho Kim has drinks including "lemon juice," a tall glass of chokingly sweet fluid with a lime wedge, and a coffee concoction of strong brew that you mix with sweet condensed milk in a tall glass of ice.
But these are minor details, very minor. Filling a clean strip-mall divot in a place called Binh Duong Center, Pho Kim Vietnamese restaurant is filled with red vinyl chairs, green marbled Formica tables, and way too much pink. In a tiny, illuminated red nook in the bottom of the service counter sits a squatting Buddha.
10 a.m.-9 p.m.
Saturday & Sunday
9 a.m.-10 p.m.
Pho is a little like Buddha: It invites nourishing contemplation. A Vietnamese beef broth soup, pho is often described as the national dish of Vietnam. And it's a mind-clearing tonic steeped in ritual, a thing often served for breakfast. Pho is an arduous, effortful thing created by simmering meat and bones for roughly eight hours to extract soothing richness. To this are added long rice noodle strands, meat, scallions, and herbs.
There's an associated wimp factor here too. Pho is usually floated with cuts of beef such as brisket, eye of round, flank steak, and meatballs. But you can also add gelatinous and chewy soft tendon, often a piece of knuckle, bible tripe, or a piece of ox stomach. These things purportedly add richness to the soup, allowing, as one writer put it, "a slick of tasty fat, a most desirable sensation."
I wouldn't know. I had my pho with eye of round steak sans guts.
The wide, steaming bowl arrives with a plate piled with knots of bean sprouts, Asian basil, a lime wedge, and tiny slices of green chilies that look like mag wheels. A paper napkin-bound bundle holding chopsticks and a small, ladle-like soup spoon is plopped next to the bowl. The pho fest begins by loading some of the bean sprouts and basil sprigs into the bowl and shooting it with a squeeze of lime. Holding the chopsticks in one hand and the spoon in the other, the sticks are plunged into the soup and used to lift the noodles over the sprouts and leaves to blanch them. Then, you can either pinch a neat little bundle of noodles with the chopsticks into the spoon, or slurp them into your mouth using the chopsticks while holding the spoon under the strands to keep splashes from vandalizing your attire.
Pho Kim's pho ($4.50) is delicious: freshly light and perfumy with tender, separate noodles and chewy sheets of beef. Other soups were nearly as enjoyable. Mi do bien ($4.95), a seafood medley with thick tangles of thin, tender egg noodles, was richened not with tripe or tendon but with little bits of fried pork rind that floated in the broth like sawmill fragments. Rings of scallion and lemongrass cleanly rounded the flavors.
Thick, supple imperial spring rolls ($2.00) were tasty as well, with tender strips of pork and slices of sweet, briny shrimp bandaged to a core of rice, cilantro, lettuce, and carrot by a sheet of rice paper. A dish of thick, rich peanut sauce served as dip.
The rest of the menu barely scaled the pho pedestal. Steamed rice dishes ($4.95-$6.50) featured wads of hard, sticky grains, though one dish with pork chop had thin slices of juicy, savory meat shellacked in a dark, sweet sauce, while a rendition with spicy chicken and lemon grass was succulently delicious. Vermicelli bowls, with a choice of chicken, beef, pork or seafood ($4.50-$7.99), were plagued with wads of noodles clumped over fragments of browning head lettuce mingled with sliced cucumber.
But there's no need to venture beyond pho. The list of combinations is long, and each can be had with tendon and tripe. If you get bored.

DEFINITION of 'Insider Trading Act of 1988'
An act enabled in 1988 to increase the liability penalties to all involved parties to insider trading. This act was established due to the increase in high profile insider trading cases, as well as the increase in monetary values of the trades. The act allows the SEC to order a penalty of up to three times the profit, and the guilty parties may serve significant jail time according to the extent of their crime.

COVER STORY: Space Shuttle Enterprise gets an Escort
The Space Shuttle Enterprise passes the new World Trade Center Tower 1, where the steel has been completed to its top floor of 104. A tower of some kind, possibly up to 400 feet, may rise from the upper floors next. The building to the right of the 104-story tower with sky cranes visible is the next tower to be rebuilt at the World Trade Center. Building 4 has just reached its scheduled height of 79 stories.

FDNY fireboat Firefighter II, which serves as Marine Company 9 on Staten Island near the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge, operates a water spray as the shuttle passes by. Firefighter II and its sister ship, The 343, are 140 feet long, weigh 500 tons, travel at 18 knots, cost $27 million (funded by Homeland Security funds) and have a pumping capacity of 50,000 gallons. Each vessel has specialized equipment on board. The 343 is named for the FDNY members who were killed on 9/11.

A panoramic photo of the river scene with New Jersey and the space shuttle to the left, fireboats and other vessels in the middle of the river and the retired aircraft carrier USS Intrepid and the Manhattan skyline to the right. The fireboat on the cover of this issue, Marine Company 6, took possession of a new fireboat, The Bravest, in 2011. The vessel is 65 feet long, weighs 80,000 pounds, has a top speed of 50 knots and a pumping capacity of 7,000 gallons, carries 200 gallons of foam concentrate and carries dry chemical. The name The Bravest adorns both sides of the cabin using steel recovered from the World Trade Center. The name is in honor of all members of the FDNY.

On June 6, 2012, the Space Shuttle Enterprise is pushed North up the Hudson River between New York and New Jersey on its way to its place on the retired aircraft carrier USS Intrepid. The space shuttle will be on display soon. This location is 1½ blocks from the closest FDNY firehouse, the quarters of Rescue 1, the first rescue company in America, which will celebrate its centennial in 2015. Atop a transport jet a few weeks earlier, the Space Shuttle took a low-level sightseeing trip over the New York-New Jersey metropolitan area before landing at John F. Kennedy International Airport, where it was offloaded onto the barge that would bring it to the Intrepid. The Enterprise was the first space shuttle orbiter. It was used in numerous tests, but never flew in space.
