Some Air Canada passengers are seeing red after the airline moved them to its new low-cost Rouge carrier, but the airline denies service is suffering.
Many customers who purchased Air Canada flights months in advance say they have found themselves bumped onto Rouge flights and given no choice but to accept the smaller seats, limited in-flight entertainment and lack of complimentary food.
Jim Noon, who booked a regular Air Canada flight from Vancouver to Los Angeles on points in March, says the company subsequently moved him to a Rouge flight without his knowledge or consent.
"It's frustrating, and it makes you feel deceived," Noon told CBC News.
The flight could prove a tight squeeze for Noon, who is six-foot-three: Rouge seats have less legroom than regular Air Canada flights.
For instance, Rouge seats on the Airbus 319-100 have 73.5 cm of pitch, compared with 79-89 cm on the same aircraft on a regular Air Canada flight.
This spacing, and a reduced number of larger premium seats, allows the airline to put in two more rows, for a total of 12 more seats on the Airbus planes.
"I'm a tall guy," Noon says. "My No. 1 concern is that I can fit into that seat for three hours — or eight hours — and not have to crawl off the plane afterwards."
Access to entertainment and food on Rouge flights also differs from regular Air Canada flights.
On Rouge flights, economy travellers must pay for food and can only access in-flight entertainment if they have their own iPad or are prepared to rent one for the flight.
The experience has made Noon swear off the carrier for good.
"I used to be a loyal Air Canada traveller, and now I am certainly going to look elsewhere."
Social media reaction also critical
Noon is not alone, based on social media comments.
The travel review site Skytrax has comment forums for every airline and the Rouge board is filled with posters complaining about getting bumped from Air Canada flights.
And it's not just those who bumped to Rouge flights who are complaining.
The new brand is facing criticism from passengers who have booked with Rouge and argue that not only is it not cheaper than regular Air Canada flights, but the cramped quarters on board make it an unpleasant experience.
"The 319 plane was cramped with uncomfortable seats, absolutely no leg room and no ventilation," J. Morton writes.
"Average height people found their knees jammed into the seat ahead of them and it was impossible to bend over to place or retrieve items from under the seat. Heaven help you if the person in front of you reclined their seat even the small degree they move."
Another poster coined a new term against the airline, saying, "I got Rouged."
On Air Canada Rouge's Facebook page, complaints are noticeably absent, but elsewhere on social media, customers are complaining the company is deleting critical Facebook posts.
CBC News also observed that dozens of critical posts spotted on Friday had been deleted from the Rouge Facebook page by Monday.

Air Canada defends Rouge
Air Canada denies the Rouge service is suffering from customer fallout. In a statement emailed to CBC, the company wrote that "Rouge flights have been very successful and customers tell us they enjoy the service."
The statement goes on to say that since the launch of Rouge in 2013, "we have received very few such concerns."
Air Canada describes Rouge as "low cost," but is careful to avoid the term "budget airline."
It calls Rouge a "leisure" service.
"The fares are largely the same," says Renee Smith-Valade, vice-president of customer experience at Air Canada Rouge, who notes that the services offered by the two carriers are also comparable.
"Air Canada has always priced itself competitively," she said.
"In the airline industry, the airlines look at what each other is charging for a fare and make sure that they're always competitive."
'A marketer's nightmare'
"Either Rouge is a real price deal at stripped-down services, or it's not," said Lindsay Meredith, a marketing professor at B.C.'s Simon Fraser University. "Don't try to have your cake and eat it too. High prices and jammed-in service? No."
Meredith cautions that the company may find itself in trouble if it switches customers from one service to another without offering an alternative.
"That kind of misrepresentation might catch the attention of somebody like the competition bureau," he says.
He also warns against fuelling the increasing disaffection of customers, who may already be looking at other carriers, saying that one truism of marketing is that once you drive customers away, it's extremely difficult to get them back.
"It would be pretty much a marketer's nightmare if somebody talks about being 'Rouged,'" he said.
"The name of your brand is in the lexicon as being a term for being ripped off? Boy! That would be the kiss of death for any brand name I can think of."
A previous version of this story said Air Canada's Rouge aircraft have three seats on each side of the aisle, compared to two seats in standard Air Canada Airbus 319s. In fact, both types of planes have three seats across in Economy.May 07, 2014 1:13 PM PT

An attractive leading lady often cast in well-bred roles, Barbara Rush entered films at the tail end of the studio system, making her debut in a small role in "Molly" (1950), based on the popular radio show "The Goldbergs". She went on to play leading ladies in some top pictures, but appeared in numerous forgettable ones before breaking into TV in the 1960s. Although Rush won her first leading roles in such Paramount films as "The First Legion" (1951), she is probably better remembered as Joan, the woman who loves Paul Newman even after he chooses a job over her hand in marriage, in "The Young Philadelphians" (1959), and opposite Frank Sinatra in "Come Blow Your Horn" (1963). She also had key roles in "The Young Lions" (1958), "The Man" (1972), and an amusing supporting role in "Can't Stop the Music" (1980).
Rush first worked as a series regular playing a Washington newspaper correspondent in "Saints and Sinners" (NBC, 1962). She garnered some notice for her season-long (1968-69) stint as Marcia Russell on ABC's primetime soap "Peyton Place". Rush then tried her hand at comedy, portraying a temperamental soap opera star on "The New Dick Van Dyke Show" (CBS, 1973-74). In the early 80s, it was back to the real thing as the matriarch Eudora Weldon on NBC's "Flamingo Road" (1981-82) and a brief turn on ABC's daytime staple "All My Children".
Approaching the age when actresses find roles difficult to land, Rush stayed active on stage appearing throughout the USA in such fluff as "Forty Carats" and "Same Time, Next Year". She commissioned and earned rave reviews in the solo theatrical piece "A Woman of Independent Means", based on the novel by Elizabeth Forsythe Hailey in New York and Los Angeles. More recently, Rush returned to the small screen appearing in the recurring role of Stephen Collins' mother in "7th Heaven" (The WB).

Warm up and relax in the hot tub or sauna. Show off your skills while playing foosball or pool.
My friends and I had a wonderful weekend in this beautifully laid out home! It snowed while we were there and it was just so beautiful sitting in the hot tub while it snowed on us. The lake was covered in snow and made the view so pretty. The back to back fireplace set the mood and they had everything for us there. Especially a snow shovel that was much needed! :)
We definitely want to come back during the summer where we can experience the water!
Thank you for making our memories so memorable Laurie!
Our family stayed here for one week, beginning July 5th. What a nice surprise to get fireworks over the lake the first night. This is an amazing place and the owners have thought of everything you could want/need during your stay. We said it didn't feel like a rental, it felt like home immediately. It's on a beautiful part of the lake with a private dock (we brought a boat). Awesome little fire pit by the lake, big clean hot tub, pool table, darts, foosball, awesome outdoor gas grill, canoe, paddleboat...I could go on and on. We'll be back, for sure. I can't recommend this place enough for a nice, relaxing vacation - with plenty to do all around you!
My family and I made great memories this spring break. We all enjoyed your beautiful lake house and all it has to offer.
we arrived this past weekend, and were so excited and pleased to see how big and beauitful the house was. we had such a great time hanging out in the large basement, hung outside by the hotpool and even got to watch the neighbors across the lake set off fire works. cant wait to stay again!!!
This house has everything you need in a beautiful location! The house is tastefully decorated. Plenty of space and the kitchen is stocked well. We were 3 families getting together with our kids to ski and snow tube. The kids loved the loft area to hang out in and the adults enjoyed the outside hot tub as well as the pool table. The owners were readily available to answer any questions. Thank you again for a great stay!
Second time staying , had an awesome time!!!! First time renting was in May and liked it so much came back 3 months later !!! Close to everything , great house with everything you need . Looks great on pictures - even better in real life.The owners of the house are exteremely helpful and accomodating . Would highly reccomend this house !!

Principal Program Manager Interview
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1+ week – interviewed at Symantec (San Francisco, CA) in September 2012.
A phone interview was arranged with the hiring Director before visting the San Francisco office. Setting up the interview was easy and the Recruiter at Symantec was very helpful. The onsite interview consisted of 4 sets of panel interviews. Each panel had two interviewers. Team members are Symantec were pleasant and cordial.

Principal Program Manager Interview
Accepted OfferPositive ExperienceDifficult InterviewApplication
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks – interviewed at Symantec (Lindon, UT) in January 2010.
Submitted my resume online and received email contact within 5 days that there was interest in my background. Initial contact through the in-house HR recruiter. He arranged a first phone interview with the hiring director which took place about two weeks later. The phone interview took about 30+ minutes and was a general review of experience/accomplishments. It was enough to get me to the next level of phone interviews. Over the next week I had two more phone interviews with senior program and product managers...either part of the team I would be on or a related team I may work with. These are basically additional screenings to determine if you'll make the cut for on-site interviews. Each interview style was a bit different, but one of them (and most of the on-site interviewers) liked situational questions (e.g., "Tell me about a time when you confronted such and such situation and how you handled it").
I passed these additional phone screening and was invited for on-site interviews the following week. This was a full-day event where I met with four new people 1:1 for an hour each, the hiring director for an hour lunch, plus was required to give a 15-20 minute presentation to the group. Most interview questions were situational, but one of the interviewers was more relaxed and mostly talked about the company and people vs. asking me a lot of questions. The presentation could be on any topic and any format. I chose 'What makes a good Program Manager", highlighted some of my qualifications and experiences (through stories) as to why I was a superior candidate and used some PowerPoint slides during the talk. With some breaks, I think the day was just under 7 hours long.
I sent thank you notes (emails in this case) to each person I met with and then waiting while I followed up with other candidate companies I was courting. About 1-1/2 weeks later I received contact from the HR recruiter that we were still moving forward and they wanted a list of five professional references. I provided those and a day later the recruiter notified me they were planning to extend an offer. Received the written offer two days later.Interview Questions
- Tell me about a time when you had conflict with someone on your team (who was not a direct report) and how you handled it. 1 Answer
- Describe the most frustrating aspect of your current (or previous) job. What have you done to address it or deal with it? Answer Question
The salary was about 10% below my target. I was able to negotiate an additional 5% increase, which was satisfactory for me. I did this directly with the recruiter and had a final offer about three days later. Advice: you need to know what you want and when you're willing to walk away (always gracefully...even if you turn down an offer, you never know when you'll meet many of the same people again at your next interview). Once you have an offer, it's OK to be open about your expectations and ask if there is any room for negotiation on their side...and in different areas. I think there's usually a bit of wiggle room (5-10%) on the salary side, but not always. Sometime you can get additional stock options or vacation, but I've found those are often fixed by HR for most positions except exec level. I think if you are relaxed in your approach, always polite and gracious, the negotiators are willing to be open to make it work and let you know what's possible and what's not. They definitely want you to be happy as you first come on board.

Assembling Among Assemblages: Corporate Forms and American Literature Before 1914full name / name of organization: Brynnar Swenson, Butler University; Andrew Lyndon Knighton, California State University, Los Angeles contact email: firstname.lastname@example.com; firstname.lastname@example.com Gilles Deleuze defines an assemblage as a multiplicity that "is made up of many heterogeneous terms and which establishes liaisons, relations between them, across ages, sexes and reigns — different natures." Such a form of organization, he argues, is the product of the interactions between the various bodies — physical, psychical, social, economic, linguistic — that compose it. The inherent dynamism of the assemblage is mirrored in the work of those who have theorized it; the concept remains notoriously diffuse and unstable. Following Manuel DeLanda's recent work, we are eager to reconstruct and refine assemblage theory. Deleuze himself suggestively hints at one possible direction for such a reconstruction. For while treatments of the assemblage do appear in A Thousand Plateaus, the concept is perhaps most salient in his essay, "On the Superiority of Anglo-American Literature." Following his lead, this seminar insists that the theory of the assemblage is an indispensable literary-critical tool. It has undergirded studies treating phenomena ranging from the corporate origins of early American institutions to nineteenth-century systems of finance, communication, and transportation. Not only does American literature obsess over representing such flows, networks, systems, and emergent social formations, but it also necessarily forms assemblages with various other corporate entities. We invite papers that test the potentials of assemblage theory for mapping the relationships constitutive of the American literary landscape before 1914. How can the theory of the assemblage explain the location of American literature as one subset of the planetary assemblage that is "world" literature? The annual meeting of the American Comparative Literature Association will take place March 31 - April 3, 2011, in Vancouver. Please submit abstracts of fewer than 250 words to the ACLA website: http://www.acla.org/acla2011/?page_id=33 Abstracts are due by November 1, 2010. cfp categories: american cultural_studies_and_historical_approaches interdisciplinary theory

We wanted to write to express our delight at the new kitchen. What a fantastic job! After much deliberation and thought, the largest project in the house (new kitchen) started.

Used Avanti on recommendation. Unfortunately the experience I had was not good. Initial unit arrived with a damaged panel. The replacement panel delivered was the wrong size. A second panel supplied was also incorrect. Avanti agreed to send out a completely new unit.

In a plasterer, my customer is having an Avanti kitchen and there man came to do the first fix electrics, i had to refuse to plaster as he buried an illegal connection in the wall, he came back to redo it and still it was illegal but this time he covered it up trying to hide it, the next time he came to do it he did it correctly, why was it not done correctly at the start, how many other kitchens have they done that might catch fire, avoid at all costs… Read Full Review

I have no record of a complaint from this customer, if this was a genuine incident, I would welcome the opportunity to meet with you to discuss any issues you may have had. All electrical installations carried out by Avanti are inspected by a qualified electrician and a part P certificate issued in accordance with the law.
Over the last 32 years we have built a reputation for trust and reliability and work hard to provide a quality product and exceptional service to our customers. This is why many of our customers come back to Avanti and trust us enough to recommend us to their friends and families. Please contact me.

We are delighted with the quality, service, and price of our Avanti kitchen. We visited several kitchen showrooms and found it very difficult to make a decision. We were impressed by the favorable customer Avanti reviews and selected Avanti on the basis of design and understanding our needs. We like Avanti's willingness to work around our constraint - keeping the fridge, keeping cabinets in our utility walls. Saving on unecessary additions made it possible to select a granite top. We… Read Full Review

Would definitely recommend Avanti. Right from start staff were brilliant, particularly "sales consultant" who was full of ideas and suggestions to help us decide what we wanted, and excellent fitters. We were kept well informed at all times of when things would be done and names of people who would be doing it and regular calls to check all was well.

A friend of a friend had used Avanti to fit a new bathroom and having seen the standard of the work for myself I went straight to them when I was ready to refit my own bathroom. From start to finish the process was smooth, relaxed and straightforward. At no point did I feel pressured. We moved at my pace and only when I was ready to proceed did the project move forward. I was guided by the designer who was both patient and thorough. I explained what I wanted, and his designs immediately met my… Read Full Review

We went into the showroom in Lye, Stourbridge and saw Steph Lee. Steph guided us through all the choices and helped design a fantastic kitchen for our new extension. Steph came up with pleanty of suggestions which improved the practicality, storage and the sleek design to meet our needs.

We started looking for our kitchen in January this year,and finally settled on Avanti Kitchens. Price wasn't all that influenced us, we were impressed by the quality and choice on offer. In particular Steph who helped us design our kitchen was truly wonderful.

We approached Avanti during the refurbishment of our house for both a fitted Kitchen and two Bedrooms as they were both local to us and manufactured in the area - something which we consider very important especially given the economic condition of our local region (and country).

I worked for magnet for many years and others and this is what they do!! inflated sales. It The Retail High Street way. 50% off + vat off + extra 5% off + half price installation It is there over TV for us all to see!!
I know That many of my family members have had many kitchens though Avanti and have been more than happy with the outcome on work, price and certainly the Quality and I can not see Avanti kitchens, who have a great reputation, leaving you to fit your doors when you have paid for it to be fitted!! just would not happen!!

They looked far too posh so I had passed by the local shop for some months without going in. I went in one day to kill time whilst waiting for a prescription and they showed me their basic range - it looked good so I asked for a visit.

Avanti came recommended to us from several disperate sources but we did do our own research as well to get a good comparison. I must say they were way ahead of all of them. The designer we had (Micky) was amazing, drawing out our kitchen free hand and advising of design features we had not thought of. He gave us a price there and then and was willing to visit our house several times. Now, there were a few issues with measurements and time critical deliveries but they were very good and… Read Full Review

Louis Allen Morton.
A resourceful and widely experienced educator is now superintendent of schools for Stephens County. Louis A. Morton has some high ideals as an educator, and has done much to give practical efficiency to the various school systems under his charge at different times, and can properly be given credit for a share in the remarkable progressive movement which has been under way in Oklahoma school matters for the past five or six years since he is by no means among the least influential and able of the men who are carrying forward this great work.
Louis Allen Morton was born in Russellville, Arkansas, August 19, 1877, a son of Reuben O. and Madrid (Love) Morton. There are few older families in America than the Mortons. They came originally from England, the emigrant ancestor having been John Morton, who served as secretary to Governor Bradford of the Massachusetts colony. Mr. Morton's great-grandfather, though descended from this New England settler, was for half a century a sea captain, and was at first impressed into the service by the British, and, later, sailed under the American flag on the Atlantic.
The grandfather was Thomas H. Morton, who became a large planter and slave owner in Mississippi, died at Meridian in that state. Reuben O. Morton was born on his father's plantation in Kemper County, Mississippi, in 1847, and is still living with home in Arkansas. Though but a boy at the time he served during the last two years of the war between the states, having enlisted at the age of fifteen in the Thirty-third Regiment of Mississippi Infantry. In 1869 he removed to Russellville, Arkansas, and in 1884 to Pottsville in that state. Farming has been his regular vocation, though for a few years he was in the drug business. He is now president of the Citizens Bank of Pottsville. He became a charter member of the Masonic Lodge in his home locality in Arkansas many years ago, is a past master, and is now and has been for many years clerk in the Baptist Church. His wife was born in Pope County, Arkansas, June 1, 1851. Their children are: Thomas H., who when a young man entered the railroad service, and at the age of twenty-six was on his way South to visit the Texas oil wells, and was killed in Houston, the circumstances of his death indicating that he was waylaid and robbed; Annie, who died in childhood; Louis A.; Hugh D., a resident of Arkadelphia, Arkansas, who in 1915 was graduated A. B. from the Ouachita Baptist College of Arkansas; Lorenzo D., who is a traveling salesman with headquarters at Amarillo, Texas; Lillie, who was educated in the Mountain Home College and the Ouachita Baptist College in Arkansas, and is now the wife of W. H. Rankin, who is the owner of a large cotton plantation and owns and operates several cotton gins along the Arkansas River and lives in Russellville; Corrinne, who is graduated in art from the Mountain Home College and the Ouachita Baptist College and is the wife of J. E. Allmon, a cotton planter and gin owner at Pottsville, Arkansas; Arkadelphia, who acquired her education in the Mountain Home and the Ouachita Baptist colleges, and is now the wife of Neal Campbell, principal of the high school at Gravelly, Arkansas; Blanche, who was educated in the same institutions attended by her sisters, and is now living with her parents.
Louis A. Morton spent his early years on his father's farm in Arkansas until 1897, and in the meantime had acquired the fundamentals in the public schools of Pottsville, and graduated from the high school of that place with the class of 1896. In 1907 he took the degree A. B. from the Ouachita Baptist College at Arkadelphia. However, he had early in life taken up the practical work of education, and for four years before his graduation from college served as county examiner or county superintendent of schools in Baxter County, Arkansas. He was president of Mountain Home College four years, 1902-1906. From 1907 to 1911 Mr. Morton was city superintendent of schools at Comanche, Oklahoma. During 1911 and 1912 he taught Latin and Science in Duncan public schools, and in November, 1912, was elected county superintendent of schools of Stephens County, beginning his official duties in July, 1913. By re-election on November 6, 1914, he has another two year term to serve. His jurisdiction as county superintendent extends to seventy-two schools in the county, one hundred fifty teachers and a total enrollment of 8,371 scholars. In many ways he has helped to coordinate the instruction and training of the local schools with the practical needs of modern life, but has probably gained his chief reputation over the state as an educator through his having originated the plan to get every school in his county to build "a mile of good roads," and as a result of his leadership in this matter forty miles of first-class highway have been constructed in Stephens County up to the present writing, May 15, 1915. In this connection it should be noted that Mr. Morton is secretary of the Stephens County Good Roads Association.
In politics he is a democrat. He is a deacon in the Baptist Church and a superintendent of the Sunday School, and fraternally has affiliations with Duncan Lodge No. 61, Ancient Free and Accepted Masons; Duncan Chapter No. 21, Royal Arch Masons; Border Queen Lodge No. 60, Knights of Pythias at Comanche, of which he is past chancellor; Duncan Camp No. 515, Woodmen of the World; Duncan Chapter of the Order of Eastern Star, of which he is worthy patron. He is a member of the Duncan Chamber of Commerce.
On September 13, 1904, at Mountain Home, Arkansas, Mr. Morton married Miss Nell Love, daughter of W. A. Love, a farmer of Mountain Home. To their marriage were born five children: William Allen, who died at the age of fifteen months; Louis A., Jr., who was born April 29, 1909; Nell, who died at the age of four years; James R., who died at the age of three weeks; and Joy Louise, born September 4, 1915.

Conference Explores Academic Freedom
Kurland, Jordan E., Academe
The theme of the 2004 fall conference of the City University of New York's University Faculty Senate, held on December 3 at Hunter College, was "Defining and Defending Academic Freedom." The conference program, arranged by faculty senate chair Susan O'Malley, featured several AAUP experts on academic freedom, including past and present chairs of the Association's Committee A on Academic Freedom and Tenure. University of Virginia law professor Robert O'Neil, who is also director of the Thomas Jefferson Center for the Protection of Free Expression, a former Committee A chair, and the current chair of the AAUP's Special Committee on Academic Freedom and National Security in a Time of Crisis, reviewed post-September 11 threats to academic freedom in specific incidents on campuses and in new federal and state laws and regulations. University of Illinois law professor Matthew Finkin, also a former Committee A chair and chair of the committee that investigated the recent case of CUNY adjunct instructor Mohamed Yousry, discussed that case in the context of previous AAUP investigations involving CUNY and of broader issues of academic freedom and due process affecting adjunct CUNY faculty. The investigating committee's report appeared in the November-December 2004 issue of Academe. …

GH3 - any shutter shock?

I wonder if one reason for increasing the mass and size of the GH3 was to limit the effects of shutter shock. Perhaps they added improved shock absorption to the shutter mechanism as well.
It would be interesting to hear from early adopters if shutter shock is noticeable on the GH3 & to compare it, if possible, with the EM5.
Any thoughts?
I have just added a note to my other thread with my first pictures about the shutter. With the normal mechanical shutter, it is much quieter and with less shock than my old GH2. In a quiet room, held at arms length, I can hear the shutter and feel a very slight vibration in my hand. But in normal shooting in the street yesterday, I couldn't hear the shutter above the ambient noise and did wonder if it was actually working - it was
There is also the electronic shutter which is entirely noise and vibration free, but it has some limitations on the range of shutter speeds that can be used.

Black on Black!
Black toe polish on black pumps, awesome!
Nice outfit, there are some people in Singapore who do dress up like this but rarely. Let me tell you one thing though you won't be able to walk with those shoes in Singapore! Unless you got a driver to drive to around and you just walk/shop in and out of a boutique and in and out of the car. Oh and change the bag!
What this actually represents is: photographer asks her friend to dress up for a shot. Singaporeans do not dress like this. Manufactured journalism.

Publisher Synopsis
'...a gripping account of the life of one of literature's most important figures by one of the people who knew him best...With affection and insight he describes their family and friends...and events that inspired the plots of Chekhov's stories and plays. A true labour of love.' - The Good Book Guide, Editor's Choice - Biography& Memoirs April 2010 'A gripping study of Chekhov by his sibling...It offers a matchless eyewitness view of a man remarkable not just for literary genius but heroic decency.' - The Sunday Times 'It is wonderful to have this memoir finally translated into English. It provides a fascinating and absorbing portrait of Anton Chekhov and his circle. Mikhail Chekhov's voice has the uniquely compelling ring of authenticity.' - William Boyd, award-winning author of A Good Man in Africa, Restless, and Ordinary Thunderstorms 'There are memorable images that give us a taste of what a frisky, playful prankster Anton was before TB struck him down. He once went fishing with a friend in formal tails and top hat; he startled another sleeping friend with a flashlight in the face; he kept a pet mongoose that alarmed visitors.' - Kirkus 'As a writer himself, Mikhail Chekhov often found it hard to be the 'brother of his brother'...This unpretentious and warm-hearted eye-witness account is indispensable reading for anyone wishing to acquire a vivid picture of Chekhov's remarkable life as it unfolded.' - Rosamund Bartlett, author of Chekhov: Scenes From a Life and translator of About Love and Other Stories and Chekhov: A Life in Letters 'This fine translation has been a long time coming...Like his brother, Mikhail is clear-headed and unsentimental, with a fine sense of humour and a sharp eye for telling detail...[an] attractively produced and well annotated volume.' - The Tablet Read more...

What is a Semi-dwarf fruit tree? Says:

John Roe, And I would like to know what is meant by a Semi- Dwarf tree is? Does it have to size? If so how tall will it get? Please get back to me. Also, I could'nt, any place to ask, a question. |
Celi & Lisa Says:
Jan 8th, 2014 at 7:03 am
Should we still do our winter pruning and spraying even tho this california weather has been warmer then usual? Our fruit trees are showing buds, I think this Hayward weather has confused our trees. Help ! |
Stephanie Brown Says:
Jan 15th, 2014 at 10:26 am
Hello Celi & Lisa, Yes, go ahead and prune and do your last spray. It's like doing the "Valentine's Day" spray in January instead. As long as the trees are not blooming you're fine. If you've missed and they're blooming you can wait and summer prune the trees instead. |
Stephanie Brown Says:
Jan 15th, 2014 at 10:51 am
Hello John, A semi-dwarf tree is a tree grafted onto a rootstock that will dwarf the scion to 70-85% of standard size. Since the standard size of trees varies, the size of a semi-dwarf varies depending on the variety. For example a semi-dwarf apple tree (on M-111) will be 15-25 ft, a semi-dwarf cherry ( on Colt) will be 30-45 ft. and a semi-dwarf peach or nectarine (on Citation) will be 8-14 ft. I hope that's helpful. If you have a question about the size a specific rootstock grows to, we usually have the information in the product description. If not, I'd be happy to find that information for you. |

My fruit trees haven't lost all their leaves this winter. Should I strip the leaves to aide in dormancy? |
Suzanne at Peaceful Valley Says:

No, I would just allow the leaves to drop off naturally. Your tree knows best when to drop its leaves. |

The server is a G5 running OS X Server 10.5.3. The network has 5 other Macs and 10 Windows XP Pro PCs. One of the Macs running 10.5.6 lost its connection to the server and attempts to reconnect via "Finder" get a message "Connection failed." The lost Mac and the Server can get ping responses from each other and all was working fine a few days ago. We can't figure out what changed other than that the Mac can't connect. Since I come from the Windows world, I'm not sure how to reinstall the network software. Thanks, Tim
What do you mean by "connect?" What kind of "connection?" Are you losing a mounted share? Are you unable to authenticate via Active Directory? "Connect" is very vague... there are hundreds of "connections" a client computer can make to a server -- accessing a shared printer, viewing files stored on a mounted share, authenticating with a directory service, etc. Since you can ping each machine from the other, right there you have a "connection" that is working -- the physical ethernet cable is "connected," and you are able to communicate via TCP/IP (because you can ping the machine). What specific action were you trying to accomplish on the Mac when you got this message? Mount a shared drive? Access a printer? Was the Mac set up to auto-mount a shared drive upon login, and perhaps it can't find that share anymore?
I have a few things to learn about Mac terminology; I'll try to explain the situation better. For starters, this network was set up a couple years ago by someone else; I have come in recently to solve some Windows problems, but now this Mac problem has popped up so I'm trying to figure things out. There is no Windows server, so no Active Directory. The Mac OS X server has a shared folder where everyone has a folder to store their work. A few days ago, Bob was working just fine, but then 'something' happened, he doesn't know what, and he could no longer see his folder. But of course, everyone else can work just fine. So now, when Bob opens Finder, and clicks the 'Bob' icon for his share, the beach ball spins and a message says that either the server is down or offline. If he uses Finder to navigate to the server, he gets a message that the 'Connection failed'. But, he can still reach the internet and get/send email just fine. On the server, I can see his folder and files are all still there. Does that help? Any pointers to what I should read to get up to Mac speed? Thanks!
Ok, better understood -- it sounds like Mac users' profiles (er, home folders) are stored on the server ("roaming profiles" as they're called, I believe), and perhaps Bob's machine has somehow lost the path to his home folder on the server. I'm on Snow Leopard, and things have changed places in the operating system in terms of what app to use to configure the home folder's path on the server. Fixing the problem may be as simple as verifying that the machine Ack. I believe it was called "NetInfo Manager" or "Directory Utility" under Leopard and earlier; I could be wrong. I'll report back if I can dig up any information or remember, but you may be able to take that hint and run with it if you're familiar with the Mac server. I believe you want to be looking in "NetInfo Manager" for the place where the home folder path is specified and verify that it's correct. I wish I could give you a walk-through, but hopefully that gets you going in somewhat the right direction.
Thanks! You poked me in the right direction. And this network is a whole lot simpler than I was expecting. The previous caretaker set up only two users: the admin, and one account for everyone else. There are no profiles or home folders. All Bob had to do was to use Finder to navigate to the server, Connect As everyone's user name, and bingo. Dum, dum, dum. But at least dumb old me learned something Mac-ish. And who says an old dog can't learn a new trick? Thanks again! TimC

Tim Pratt -
STARKVILLE -- Officials in Oktibbeha County are set to repair a deteriorating section of the Oktibbeha County Lake levee in coming weeks.
The problems exist on the back side of the levee, where a spillway flows beneath County Lake Road. The ground beside the spillway is beginning to crumble and become unstable.
"At this point, we don''t consider it dangerous, but this is something we definitely need to keep an eye on and make the repairs to so we can prevent it from getting dangerous," said Oktibbeha County District 3 Supervisor Marvell Howard, who lives below the levee on Perkins Drive.
County Administrator Don Posey expects repairs to begin in the next few weeks, when the ground becomes dry enough to move in heavy equipment. The county will drill and put in new dirt and concrete to help solidify the section, he said.
County engineer Ed Springer already has drawn up plans for the project, though Posey had no cost estimate. County employees will be doing the work.
"It''s just a little dirt and a little manpower more than anything else," Posey said. "The dam is basically secure. It''s been inspected thoroughly. We just have sloughing on the back slope that we have to take care of."
County Lake Road, which spans the top of the levee, could be closed for a day or two when the repairs are taking place, Posey said.
The levee is inspected every year by the county and the Mississippi Department of Environmental Quality. Howard said the county could enact some type of preventative maintenance schedule in the near future.
The last time significant repairs were made to this portion of the levee was five or six years ago, Posey said. And Posey emphasized that people who live on the back side of the levee shouldn''t worry about a major breach.
"We don''t expect it to turn into a dangerous situation," Posey said. "It''s just something that needs to be done so we can maintain it."

Some Pennsylvania drillers, including EQT, Consol Energy and Range Resources, detailed their drilling plans for the Upper Devonian formation, which is located above the prolific Marcellus Shale play. EQT said it plans to drill its Upper Devonian and Marcellus wells simultaneously.

Vision of the Seas Cruise Review by Paul: Just OK really

Just OK really
I purchased this cruise as a 65th present for my mother. She comes from New Zealand and has never cruised before. The actual cruise was for 7 nights from Oslo to Copenhagen, Tallinn & St Petersburg.
This is the first "short" cruise I've done and had not previously experienced one of Royal Caribbean's smaller ships. The first thing to say about the Vision of the Seas is that it now has a distinctly tired feel to it. The entertainment over the week was pretty poor with only one real show the remaining nights were filled by single performers, which were "ok". The cruise we were on had period of 2 consecutive days at sea, one of which was raining & windy. This is really where the smaller ship falls down as there is very little to do.
I have to admit that I'm rapidly going off Royal Caribbean as a company as the whole of the cruise experience is becoming a big sales opportunity - & I mean "hard sell". At almost every turn someone is trying to sell you More
Next time I book a cruise I'll be making sure I book on a larger ship. Less
