Speakers and Ukip candidates Janice Atkinson, Patricia Culligan and Alan Stevens have formally asked Sussex Police to arrest any protesters who call their supporters fascists, hurl other abuse or cause any physical assaults, for 'hate crime' or under the public order act.

Sheryl Sandberg, who led online sales of Google's AdSense and AdWords products, has left the search giant to join Facebook as chief operating officer.
In the role, Sandberg will help Facebook scale up its sales, marketing, public policy, and other operations, while facilitating the company's global expansion, a major revenue priority for the firm. Facebook recently named Mike Murphy to lead its global ad sales efforts when it announced the departure of chief revenue officer Owen Van Natta. Murphy will now report to Sandberg.
Sandberg unofficially replaces Van Natta according to reports, though Facebook wasn't available to confirm that by press time.
Sandberg oversaw Google's online sales channels, which account for the great majority of the company's AdWords and AdSense sales to small and mid-sized businesses. She also directed sales of its consumer products and its Google Book Search program.
Her success driving sales of the company's AdSense contextual ad network may be of greatest interest to CEO Mark Zuckerberg. In a statement, 23-year-old Zuckerberg highlighted Sandberg's experience "building new kinds of advertising networks." While Facebook has not yet signaled any specific ad network ambitions, the company could be well positioned to deliver ads based on its users' geographic, demographic, and behavioral data while they're visiting partner sites.
Zuckerberg and company may also look to Sandberg to generate marketer adoption of the referral-based advertising product, Social Ads, introduced back in November. Anecdotal reports suggest the product has struggled to reach consumers in critical numbers typically demanded by large advertisers.
"Sheryl understands Facebook's goal of connecting everyone in the world and is passionate about building a business that will enable us to realize this mission," Zuckerberg added.
Sandberg joined Google six years ago after working the U.S. Treasury Department, where she was chief of staff during Bill Clinton's administration. Before that she was an economist with The World Bank, where her work focused on addressing leprosy in India. She's on the board of Google.org/the Google Foundation, and also holds board positions at ONE Campaign, The Ad Council, and eHealthInsurance.
When she starts on March 24, Sandberg will be the first woman to obtain a senior executive role at Facebook. She'll report directly to Zuckerberg.
In a statement attributed to Global Sales SVP Omid Kordestani, Google said it promoted David Fischer to replace Sandberg as a VP of online sales and operations.
"Sheryl was a valued member of the Google team and we wish her well in her new endeavors," said the statement. "We have a deep management bench at Google and are delighted that David Fischer, who has been such an important part of the growth of this world-wide organization, will assume responsibility for Google's global online sales and operations."

The essence of data analysis involves setting up data pipelines that consist of several operations that are chained together – starting from data collection, data quality checks, data integration, data analysis and data visualization (including the setting up of interaction paths in that visualization).

Nokia and Microsoft partnership seem to be growing and shaping up to be quite a strong one with Nokia being the main manufacturer of Windows Phone and now seems like Nokia is planning to move on and work on a Windows powered tablet. Nokia is reported to be working on a Windows powered slate that will run on the latest version of Windows. Citing an unknown source, Verge reported that the Finnish mobile phone making company will be stepping in the tabloid world with their own Windows tablets that will be unveiled as early as February next year. The tablet will run on the lighter version of Windows 8 that is especially designed and optimized for tablets.
The report also gave a closer look to what people should expect from the Nokia's Windows tablet. According to the report, the tablet will have a 10.1-inch screen that will be similar to the Microsoft's Surface tablet, HDMI and USB ports and 4G LTE connectivity. The tablet will have 10 hours of battery life, which is average or maybe below average to the likings of many, a thing that will be questioned by many before buying Nokia's tablet. However, there's one thing that will differentiate Nokia tablet from others and that is its cover. The cover will have its own built in battery that will power the tablet when the tablet's own battery will run low. The cover will also come with a keyboard and a kickstand and two additional USB ports, a thing that is again quite similar to what Microsoft offered with Surface tablets, says the report. The report doesn't tell us anything about the pricing or the exact release date however it is pretty much expected that Nokia could unveil the tablet in February at the Mobile World Congress convention in Barcelona, Spain.

Factors To Consider In a High quality Hotel Management Software Application
May 2015
Operating a hotel is actually a juggling act, basically you will need to manage reservations, deposits, check ins and individuals looking over. Over and above this you must manage your POS (point of sale) system and integrate it within your customer invoices. Then you need to handle your employees out of your housekeepers to ordering stock a great deal more. So the best place to do this all is to try using a good quality
Hotel Booking System
providing you complete ability to access everything that you need as and when you really need it.
There are numerous good hotel management software applications out there; every one has its own pros and cons, so how can you know what to look for? Take your hotel into serious consideration what you do, whatever you offer and what exactly you need from reports to orders plus more. Bearing this in mind you can actually start shopping around and going through the programs on the market today. Firstly reservations are an essential element. Without incoming reservations your hotel will close its doors, so you want to ensure any programs you pay for incorporate an simple to use reservation system which means you don't overbook and have the capability to book your invited guests in with ease.
With reservations come deposits. Some choose to accept deposit there and then, while others want to delay until the guest arrives, taking full payment. Through taking a tiny deposit to secure the booking, this has to be reflected in the customer invoice. You will probably wish to have an approach of checking to find out which reservations have deposits and that happen to be unconfirmed, making it possible to resell the rooms. This could all be easy to get at via your hotel management software.
If your guests arrive, there needs to be a sign in sheet that they sign, prior to deciding to hand the keys up to them because of their room. This should actually be printed completely from the program, confirming their name, address, contact information and deposit paid. On here your employees could then add vehicle registration number and passport number, if needed. This is certainly added to this program later when it quietens down along with the staff has time on his or her hands.
Throughout their stay, guest is hopefully planning to eat with your restaurants and drink within your bar. Most of the time, they may want any comes down to be placed in their room, to enable them to pay on departure. When you don't have a very good
Stock Management
to achieve this automatically, it's very easy for orders to receive lost on the way. This means you generate losses plus your guests be able to like a cheap holiday experience.
The resort software should integrate with the POS (reason for sale) system inside your bar and restaurant, enabling anyone on duty to instantly transfer the amount straight to the bedroom without delay. When the guest checks out, the total amount is definitely allocated and showing in their bill.
It's always better to go with a hotel management computer software which provides reporting. This is certainly to see the upcoming bookings, the deposits paid, the latest months sales, occupancy rate and it can also be used to find out which rooms are in use. These reports are not only useful for your profit and loss statements, but they also can also help housekeeping staff determine which rooms are looking at on on that day and which in the rooms have guests staying. This signifies that all of the rooms are cleaned correctly with virtually no confusion.

By Megan R. Wilson - 01/21/14 04:45 PM EST
Capitol Counsel defied K Street's business slump in 2013 by posting an almost $2.6 million increase in lobbying revenue.
At a time when other top firms struggled to hold even, Capitol Counsel hauled in $14.71 million, a 21 percent increase over 2012.
Firm founder John Raffaelli credited the growth to a deliberate strategy of building a team that works policy specialties on both sides of the aisle.
Capitol Counsel, which started as a largely Democratic firm that specialized in tax and health issues, has made several Republican hires, including bringing on former Rep. Jim McCrery (R-La.) three years ago.
"He really solidified our position as a real strong bipartisan firm and that has enabled us to continue to attract good people," he said, mentioning newer bipartisan hires Kyle Nevins, former House Majority Leader Eric CantorEric CantorJohn Feehery: GOP: Listen to Reince The Trail 2016: Dems struggle for unity Overnight Regulation: Supreme Court rejects GOP redistricting challenge MORE's (R-Va.) senior aide, and former chief of staff to Sen. Ron WydenRon WydenSenate panel advances spy policy bill, after House approves its own version Overnight Cybersecurity: House to offer bill on government hacking powers House to offer bill blocking government hacking powers MORE (D-Ore.), Josh Kardon.
As companies and trade groups tighten their belts, Raffaelli says he wants to position his firm as "the best buy."
"We want clients to look at us as a firm that can cover, in a substantive way, various committees and members of leadership and make their dollar go farther," he said. "Save them money and make us money."
The firm's clients include General Electric, Comcast and the American Health Care Association. All together, the firm took in more than $14.7 million in 2013.
The firm signed about 30 new clients last year and terminated contracts with almost a dozen.

Music Scanners (Sheet Music Scanner)
Part 1:
I was recently contacted by the developer of Sheet Music Scanner, who graciously offered a download code to the app. The app currently sells for $3.99, and is currently on version 2.1. The app works well–scanning one page of a time. It allows you to save a scan, as well as to export audio to MIDI (with the intent to open the file in GarageBand).
My immediate feedback to the developer was that I was surprised there was no MusicXML format, and they were surprised to hear that request. In fact, I was the first to request it. That really surprised me–and it made me think about my usage of scanning, which is likely different than the average iOS device owner.
You see, once I have music scanned, I want to do more with that music than simply listen to it or export it to GarageBand. I typically want to import it into a music notation program and to do other things with it (clean it up, edit it, export it as a higher quality audio file, etc). I think most music educators would follow my case use. But what about the millions of iOS musicians who don't care about music notation?
As I have said, Sheet Music Scanner works very well–one page at a time, and it is priced right. My only "gripe" is MIDI, as a single line of music imported into Notion with a split point of middle C for that melodic line (although that setting may be in Notion and not in the MIDI file–but there are no options as you open a MIDI file into Notion). I will discuss a further MIDI trial a bit later in this post.
In partial summary, Sheet Music Scanner is a solid app, particularly if you want to scan more than one part at a time. If all you need is one part, NotateMe Now is still the leader by allowing editing and a price tag of "Free."
Part 2:
The realization that many people might not need music notation software but still a need to scan led me to look a little further in the App Store, and sure enough, I found another app that was similar to Sheet Music Scanner. This app is called iSee Notes Pro and is also $3.99. This app, however, has not been updated since December 2014, and only can be used in landscape mode.
I decided to do a little test comparing Sheet Music Reader, iSee Notes Pro, and NotateMe (full version with IAP). That video appears at the end of the post. I found a public domain version of "America, the Beautiful" on Wikipedia, printed it, and used that as the test material. I figured that "America, the Beautiful," would add a greater challenge as a four-part arrangement than a single melodic line–but not too much challenge being both homophonic and unison rhythm (homorhythmic is not a word that spell check appreciates).
Sheet Music Scanner was surprisingly the most accurate. It can only scan one page at a time, is the slowest in recognition, and lacks the ability to export a scan via MusicXML file. MIDI import may work well into GarageBand (I have not tried it), but Notion imported each line of the piano score as a separate MIDI track (a piano track at that). See the image below. Again, I am a huge supporter of MusicXML–while it is not perfect–which is still the best way to share accurate music data between notation-based programs.
You should save your money if considering iSee Notes Pro. The landscape requirement ended up scanning part of our oak kitchen table, and the application actually tried playing the wood grain. While the app does allow multiple pages, it seems to ignore key signatures. Additionally, the app hasn't been updated since 2014. It is dangerous to send any money towards an app that hasn't been updated in more than a year (in other words, iOS 8 had just been released when this app was last touched–and we are currently on iOS 9.3).
NotateMe has been one of my favorite apps for a long time. Surprisingly, it had scanned errors when Sheet Music Reader did not. I don't know how to explain that. Altogether, this is a $70 app, but with that $70, you can scan multiple pages and voices (The free "trial" version, NotateMe Now only allows for one voice at a time), wth higher quality sounds, the ability to edit the scan in the notation editor, words are scanned (although not always correctly), and you can share documents via MusicXML.
I don't know how any of these would do in reproducing "swung" music. That would be a situation where you would want NotateMe, and then to export to Notion, which can add swing to a song.
If you are a music educator–NotateMe is still the app to purchase (with the added In-App Purchases). That said, having Sheet Music Scanner around for an additional $4 seems like a no-brainer.
And if you are a musician wishing to scan and then hear your music, and you need to hear more than one part at a time, then check out Sheet Music Reader.
Scanning Software for Mac & Windows Computers
A few days ago, I received a promotional e-mail from Musitek. The e-mail read:
SmartScore X2 Pro Edition
New Version 10.5.8
This is our most powerful upgrade ever!
Every day for the past 2 years our engineers have been working hard to improve SmartScore X2 Pro recognition, editing, playback and MusicXML export features and functions. All that work has paid off. Now, you can enjoy those benefits and more with one low, discounted upgrade price of just $99 !
Not long ago, Neuratron released its latest version of PhotoScore (now Photoscore and NotateMe Ultimate 8).
I am a Finale user. That has changed somewhat as I have not upgraded to Finale 2014 and am instead using Notion (iOS and Mac/Win) while waiting for the next version of Finale. For years, I used SmartScore and bought SmartScoreX Professional Edition to use to recognize music. I was never really happy with the scanning results (always working with choral music), so I started to look at other solutions.
Finally, I took the plunge and bought PhotoScore Ultimate. PhotoScore is the scanning software paired with Sibelius. As a Finale user, I felt that I was "cheating" on the Finale ecosystem–but found that PhotoScore Ultimate simply did a better job of scanning (accuracy) than SmartScore X Professional. When SmartScore X2 was released two and a half years ago, I downloaded the demo and compared PhotoScore and SmartScore X2. At that point, PhotoScore had not been updated since 2011. Even so, I found that PhotoScore still did a better job than SmartScore X2, so I did not buy the update.
I like to continue to give programs a chance to improve. So with the announcement of SmartScore X2's latest improvements, I wanted to try the program. In fact, the e-mail stated:
Want to try before you commit?
Click here to download a free demo of SmartScore X2 Pro, Version 10.5.8
I downloaded the new demo, and when I opened it to run, I was told the demo period had expired. I e-mailed Musitek, and asked for help, and they responded suggesting that I download and install the actual patch to X2, which I did. That didn't work, either. I e-mailed again, and they encouraged me to buy the upgrade, and they told me would be willing to refund my money if I was dissatisfied. I didn't want to do that–$99 isn't an impulse buy.
I remembered that I had my Windows 8 tablet (last turned on in March), so I charged up that computer and downloaded the demo on that computer.
I am currently working on making some rehearsal tracks for a musical I am working with in the fall, so I simply took the next piece–which was already in a PDF format–and ran the two programs on it. The original PDF isn't mine, as we don't have the actual scores yet (they show up about a month before the show), so I am using someone else's scan to get ready for the show. This particular scan has another language written on top of each line (it was obviously performed and translated in this other language), so not only do the programs have to make sense of the music–they also have to try to make sense of all the text.
The truth be told–I am used to having to delete all the text and enter it by hand regardless of the scanning program that I use. But still, this is a real life situation. I'm not throwing a single line instrumental score at these programs, or even a simple (clean) SA choral score.
It s possible that if I used a flatbed scanner, and scanned everything as a .TIFF file that SmartScore X2 prefers (it converts PDFs to TIFF files, where PhotoScore seems to just work with PDFs), I might get better results. But again, all of my music either is already scanned or will be scanned as a PDF, and if I am going to recognize it with software, I will not do so from yet ANOTHER scan in another format.
My results? SmartScore is greatly improved, but PhotoScore remains better. Perhaps the new SmartScore would have resulted in a better scan than the old PhotoScore, but Neuratron upped their game with PhotoScore and NotateMe Ultimate 8. You can see an example of each program below, from the 3rd page of the same score. Both would require clean-up, but PhotoScore gets you further down the road. Not only does PhotoScore get more notes right, it also does so in the correct voices (i.e. multiple events happening at the same time on the same staff). Both programs tell you where measures don't add up correctly. I have never done much editing in either program–as soon as I can, I import it into a true notation software package and begin clean up.
It is worth saying that SmartScore X2 has Garritan sounds embedded in the program–so if you are looking for a scanning program to play what you see, SmartScore will undoubtedly sound better than PhotoScore. For me this isn't an issue–if I want quality sounds, I move to Notion (on the Mac or on the iPad).
I find myself at a place where I can actually recommend either program. If you are a Finale user, working with PhotoScore does require you to work outside of the Finale environment, as you have to work with MusicXML files. This isn't terribly difficult to do, but if using Finale already stresses you out, working with yet another package might push you over the edge. in that case, you can invest in the SmartScore upgrade knowing that you have a solid program to work with. For the last few years, I would not have felt comfortable saying that. But do keep in mind that you still will have more clean-up work to do than if you go with PhotoScore.
If you want the most accurate scanning–again, from PDFs in particular–your best solution is PhotoScore and NotateMe Ultimate 8.
Disclaimer: Although I used my own income to purchase SmartScore X Professional and PhotoScore 7 Ultimate, I was given copies of PhotoScore and NotateMe Ultimate 8 for review purposes; and while I was unable to re-install the demo of SmartScore X2 on my Mac, this did not influence my conclusion in any way. Had SmartScore proved to be more accurate than PhotoScore, I would have paid the $99 upgrade fee to move to SmartScore X2 this evening.
A big day for music technology…
Two major items hit the news today that have the potential to impact our lives as musicians and music educators.
The first is that MusicFirst introduced PracticeFirst, a new system that will allow green note/red note assessment for $6 per student, with additional titles being added for an additional cost (teachers can also provide their own literature, which is what I would do). I haven't see or used the system (other than some screen shots at http://www.musicfirst.com), so I cannot tell you how the service compares to SmartMusic or Music Prodigy. I can tell you that the pricing does come very close to affordable for even my current situation where student socio-economic factors are an issue. $6 per year, for the same general ability to assess student pitch and rhythm, versus $40 for SmartMusic and $30 for Music Prodigy, is one heck of a deal. Furthermore, PracticeFirst is web-based (meaning any device, potentially including phones), and it is also supposed to assess tone. I still need to see what Weezic will release in this area. I would still love to see a buy-once app that didn't have to rely on servers, as $6 per student is still nearly $2000 for my program. That is $10,000 over five years, and $20,000 over ten years. That is a significant investment, and SmartMusic and Music Prodigy would be more! Remember, you aren't getting much content with PracticeFirst, but with advances in scanning, it is easier than ever to scan music, and furthermore, you shouldn't be assessing full pieces of music…you should be selectively choosing the measures you will assess. For the cost savings over SmartMusic ($11,000 for my program), I can make my own assessments, plus as a choral director, I always had to make my own literature assessments anyway.
Again, we don't know how PracticeFirst will compare with other programs, but it will be fun to find out.
As a side note, also check out the resources at www.odogy.com for additional green note/red note applications in music. There is a web application called CommunityBand, as well as a Recorder Application, a Music Share Application, and a Duet Maker. All are priced very affordably for music education.
Finally, the handwriting music on a tablet space has really heated up. The Sibelius Blog covered StaffPad, a handwriting app mainly for the Microsoft Surface Pro 3 and the Microsoft Surface 3 [The Pro is the better option with the larger 4:3 screen], about two weeks ago. This week, Neuratron announced its pending third version of NotateMe for iOS and Android. Today the Sibelius Blog broke the news about TouchNotation, a new handwriting music app from Kawai (the link is a referral link. If you buy the app from the link, I will relieve a 7% commission from Apple, but the cost is the same, and the company makes the same amount). The app was live in Japan first, and there is a free version available as well. The app is on sale for $7.99 until the end of April, and has various in-app purchases. I have only played with the app for a few moments, but it seems to work well enough, although there doesn't seem to be a way to add lyrics (not so great for a choir director or general music teacher).
I am intrigued by the entrance of Kawai into the app space. NotateMe remains the app I would recommend on iOS or Android, as it allows for the PhotoScore In-App Purchase, which is worth its weight in gold. And I don't have a Surface Pro 3 (I would buy myself a new MacBook and an Apple Watch first), so I have not purchased StaffPad (which would not work so well on my Asus T-100 tablet without an active stylus). But it seems that StaffPad has captured the excitement of a number of musicians and executives at Microsoft. I have seen a number of musicians who are buying a Surface Pro 3 just for StaffPad. On a similar note. I know musicians who bought iPads for forScore and unrealBook.
I also hope you didn't miss the news about the next version of Sibelius (8?) that will also utilize the Surface Pro's active stylus. It seems that if you are a musician who uses Windows, it is time to buy the Surface Pro 3.
So…that's the big news today…PracticeFirst, odogy.com, and Touch Notation, as well as mention of StaffPad, NotateMe 3, and Sibelius. Aren't options wonderful?
Presentations from the 2014 Iowa Music Education Professional Development Conference
This weekend (Friday), I had the privilege to present three sessions at the Iowa Music Education Professional Development Conference (I usually just call this the Iowa MEA). If you are in a surrounding state, I really recommend this conference. It is a smaller conference and most of the vendors are local–but clinicians come from across the country to present on a wide variety of topics. Don't let the size of IMEA fool you–it is packed with professional development.
My first session was a summary on the latest with the iPad in Music Education. (PDF of the presentation: The Latest and Greatest with iPads in Music Education). In summary: better hardware, better iOS, better [and continually improving] apps, and better accessories for music education.
My second session was an overview of some of the ways you can use devices OTHER than iPads in your classroom (PDF of the presentation: Technology for the Rest of Us). This was a discussion of web apps for all, Android, Chromebook, and Windows "Tile" Apps. There was one big surprise about Chromebooks that I will be blogging about soon. I also recommend Chad Criswell's post about High Tech options for low-cost budgets: http://www.musicedmagic.com/tales-from-the-podium/low-cost-musictechnology-options-for-the-music-education-classroom.html.
The final sessions was my core "60 Apps in 60 minutes," which is more than 60 apps. (PDF of the presentation: 60 Apps in 60 Minutes). On the positive side of things, my overall list changes very little over time–but the best apps continue to improve with each passing generation. As a secondary teacher, it is a joy to be able to recommend Amy Burns' FREE interactive book, "Help! I am an Elementary Teacher with One or More iPads" to elementary teachers looking for even more elementary-focused apps, applications, and lesson plans.
I love presenting in Iowa–it is a relatively close convention (about a 3.5 hour drive from my house) in a wonderful town (Ames), and Des Moines is only a short drive away. On Saturday, my wife and I drove down to Des Moines and visited the Iowa State Capitol (it is a beautiful building–if you have not visited it, do so) and then went to blow our own glass Christmas ornaments at Studio Fuzzishü in the West Des Moines area. We wanted to spend some time in the East Village and perhaps at the Jordan Creek Mall, but parking was an issue in both those places. We also had the chance to visit some friends of the family that had moved to Southern Minnesota on our way back to the metro area of the Twin Cities.
A great post by Philip Rothman about NotateMe on the Sibelius Blog
A few years ago, Philip Rothman took over the Sibelius Blog as most of the Sibelius team headed to Steinberg (I believe that Daniel Spreadbury, who was a part of that group, used to run the Sibelius Blog). Although the Sibelius Blog was never limited to "Sibelius-Only" items, Mr. Rothman writes about music notation in a broader sense. As a result, if you are a person that uses software from other companies/developers, and you haven't followed the Sibelius Blog, you are missing out.
Last week, as MakeMusic announced its transition to go under the umbrella of Peaksware, Mr. Rothman was also given access to the new CEO over MakeMusic, and was able to ask questions that I had not thought of. As I mentioned, the topic for me became more about the people currently employed by MakeMusic, as I have had the opportunity to get to know a number of MakeMusic's staff over the past years. I was very happy to be able to read Mr. Rothman's information about the news.
Today, Mr. Rothman wrote about one of my favorite iOS/Android apps, NotateMe. He did so with feedback from Neuratron's CEO, Martin Dawe–and I really enjoyed reading about Mr. Rothman's experiment with NotateMe. So, go read the article. And if you subscribe to blog feeds (my latest choice of blog feed readers is Feedly), subscribe to the Sibelius Blog so you can read all of his posts!

Anger as gay bishop's inauguration prayer is left out of broadcast

We need to face reality. Barack Obama has real problems with women and lgbt people.
we'll have to see how things unfold – HE doesn't strike me as misgymist or homophobic, but his team….
And it is striking how often "technical" problems manafe to exclude gay people "succeeding"
The microphone also didn't seem to be working for Pete Seeger either- to my knowledge, Pete Seeger is not gay. It's a matter of faulty equipment, so people should direct their anger towards the people who should have checked and made sure that the equipment was working well beforehand.
This is not good at all. Very disingenuous. Obama does however include references to Gays and Lesbians.
Amazing coincidence that the microphones started working again after the speech, innit? Seems like the same sort of "technical difficulty" a gay couple experienced in South Africa when a group of home affairs officials refused to issue them with a marriage permit.
It *must* have been a technical problem. HBO are one of the gay-friendliest networks in the USA.

We stayed in this condo for several nights and found it to be well-appointed, very comfortable, and spacious. It was perfect for two couples traveling together. The location was also perfect: a quick drive to grocery store and nearby restaurants, yet far from the congested areas of Kailua-Kona. It's within walking distance of several companies that offer snorkeling and other water activities. The view of the ocean from the livingroom and lanai was spectacular. We watched huge waves, whales, dolphins, and beautiful sunsets without ever leaving the condo!
I would highly recommend paying the extra money for the AC as it can get pretty warm and humid so close to the ocean.

I just received a cutting of a rose in a trade. I thought I was getting a rooted rose but it's a cutting instead. I have no idea how to root it. I do have some rooting hormone. Should I use that on it or is that a bad idea? What are my chances of getting it to root by dipping it in the hormone then sticking it in a flower pot? (Or would it be best to stick it straight into the ground?) I am fairly new to roses & gardening in general so any information that you can share would be so appreciated!
how can I root a rose?
GardenQuilts Pocono Mountains, PA(Zone 6a) May 01, 2010
Page thru the forum and look for seedpickers thread on propagation. It is very detailed. Some people have luck sticking a cutting in the ground under a glass jar. Some in pots of potting soil. My first attempt at propagation last year got blown over in a storm, not successful. I am trying again, but it is too soon to tell if they will take.
