The history of roses in the People's Garden
The People's Garden, located between the Imperial Palace and the ring road is famous for its beautiful roses:
1000 standard roses
4000 Floribunda,
300 rambling roses,
(Also called Rose Park) 200 shrub roses.
Noteworthy is the diversity: there are about 400 varieties, including very old plants:
1859 - Rubens
1913 - Pearl of the Vienna Woods
1919 - Jean C.N. Forestier
The above amounts are from the Federal Gardens. My own count has brought other results:
730 tree roses
2300 Floribunda
132 rambling roses
100 shrub roses
That's about 3300 roses in total. Approx. 270 species I was able to verify. Approx. 50 rose bushes were not labeled. Some varieties come very often, others only once or twice.

1823 People's Garden was opened with the Temple of Theseus. Then made multiple extensions.
The part of today's "Rosarium" along the Ring Road was built in 1862. (Picture fence 1874)
What is so obvious to today's Vienna, was not always so: most of the beds in the People's Garden originally were planted with lilac and rhododendron.
Only after the second World War II it was converted to the present generous rose jewelry.
Since then grow along the ring side creepers, high stem and floribunda roses. On the side of Heroes Square, with the outputs, shrub roses were placed, among which there are also some wild roses.
1889 emerged the Grillparzer Monument.

Classifications of roses
(Wild roses have 7 sheets - prize roses 5 sheets)
English Rose
Florybunda
Hybrid Tea Rose
Rambling Rose
At the Roses in the People´s Garden are hanging labels (if they do not fall victim to vandals or for souvenirs) with the year indication of breeding, the name of breeding and botanical description:
Hybrid Tea Rose (TB): 1 master, 1 flower;
Florybunda (Flb): 1 strain, many flowers;
English Rose (Engl): mixture of old and modern varieties Tb and Flb.
Called Schlingrose, also climbing rose
Florybunda: 1 strain, many flowers (Donauprinzessin)
Shrub Roses - Floribunda - Tree roses - Climbing Roses
Even as a child, we hear the tale of Sleeping Beauty, but roses have no thorns, but spines. Thorns are fused directly to the root and can not be easily removed as spines (upper wooden containers called).
All roses belong to the bush family (in contrast to perennials that "disappear" in the winter). Nevertheless, there is the term Shrub Rose: It's a chronological classification of roses that were on the market before 1867. They are very often planted as a soloist in a garden, which them has brought the name "Rose Park".
Hybrid Tea Rose: 1 master, 1 flower (rose Gaujard )
Other classifications are:
(High) standard roses: roses are not grafted near the ground, but at a certain strain level. With that, the rose gardener sets the height of the crown.
Floribunda roses : the compact and low bushy roses are ideal for group planting on beds
Crambling roses: They have neither roots nor can they stick up squirm. Their only auxiliary tool are their spines with which they are entangled in their ascent into each other
English Rose: mixture of old varieties, hybrid tea and Florybunda (Tradescanth)
4000 Floribunda
Floribunda roses are hardy, grow compact, knee-high and bushy, are durable and sturdy
There are few smelling varieties
Polyantha classification: a tribe, many small flowers; Florybunda: a tribe, many big blossoms
New concept of color: from red to light yellow
The thousands Floribunda opposite of Grillparzer Monument shimmer (still) in many colors. From historical records, however, is indicated that there was originally a different color scheme for the Floribunda than today: At the entrance of the Burgtheater side the roses were dark and were up to Grillparzer monument ever brighter - there they were then already white.
This color range they want again, somewhat modified, resume with new plantings: No white roses in front of the monument, but bright yellow, so that Grillparzer monument can better stand out. It has already begun, there was heavy frost damage during the winter 2011/12.
Colorful roses
2011: white and pink roses
2012: after winter damage new plantings in shades of yellow .
Because the domestic rose production is not large enough, the new, yellow roses were ordered in Germany (Castor).

Watering
Waterinr of the Floribunda in the morning at 11 clock
What roses do not like at all, and what attracts pests really magically, the foliage is wet. Therefore, the Floribunda roses are in the People's Garde poured in the morning at 11 clock, so that the leaves can dry thoroughly.
Ground sprinklers pouring only the root crown, can not be used because the associated hoses should be buried in the earth, and that in turn collide with the Erdanhäufung (amassing of earth) that is made for winter protection. Choosing the right time to do it, it requires a lot of sense. Is it too early, so still too warm, the bed roses begin to drive again, but this young shoots freeze later, inevitably, because they are too thin.
1000 Tree roses
Most standard roses are found in the rose garden.
During the renovation of the Temple of Theseus the asphalt was renewed in 2011, which was partially only a few centimeters thick, and so was the danger that trucks with heavy transports break into. Due to this construction site the entire flower bed in front had to be replaced.
Now the high-stem Rose Maria Theresia is a nice contrast to the white temple, at her feet sits the self-cleaning floribunda aspirin. Self-cleaning means that withered flowers fall off and rarely maintenance care is needed.

The concept of the (high) standard roses refers to a special type of rose decoration. Suitable varieties of roses are not grafted near the ground, but at a certain height of the trunk. With that the rose gardener sets the height of the crown fixed (60 cm, 90 cm, 140 cm)
Plantings - Pests - Winter Care
Normally about 50 roses in the People's Garden annually have to be replaced because of winter damages and senility. Till a high standard rose goes on sale, it is at least 4 years old. With replantings the soil to 50 cm depth is completely replaced (2/3 basic soil, 1/3 compost and some peat ).
Roses have enemies, such as aphids. Against them the Pirimor is used, against the Buchsbaumzünsler (Box Tree Moth, Cydalima perspectalis) Calypso (yet - a resistance is expected).
In popular garden roses are sprayed with poison, not only when needed, but also as a precaution, since mildew and fire rose (both are types of fungi) also overwinter.
Therefore it is also removed as far as possible with the standard roses before packing in winter the foliage.
Pest Control with Poison
The "Winter Package " first is made with paper bags, jute bags, then it will be pulled (eg cocoa or coffee sacks - the commercially available yard goods has not proven).
They are stored in the vault of the gardener deposit in the Burggarten (below the Palm House). There namely also run the heating pipes. Put above them, the bags after the winter can be properly dried.
Are during the winter the mice nesting into the packaged roses, has this consequences for the crows want to approach the small rodents and are getting the packaging tatty. It alreay has happened that 500 standard roses had to be re-wrapped.

300 ambling roses
The Schlingrosen (Climbing Roses) sit "as a framing" behind the standard roses.

Although climbing roses are the fastest growing roses, they get along with very little garden space.
They have no rootlets as the evergreen ivy, nor can they wind up like a honeysuckle. Their only auxiliary tool are their spines with which they are entangled in their ascent mesh.
Climbing roses can reach stature heights of 2 to 3 meters.
4 x/year fertilizing
4 times a year, the soil is fertilized. From August, but no more, because everything then still new drives would freeze to death in winter. Well-rotted horse manure as fertilizer was used (straw mixed with horse manure, 4 years old). It smelled terrible, but only for 2 days.
Since the City of Vienna may only invest more plant compost heap (the EU Directive prohibits animal compost heap on public property), this type of fertilization is no longer possible to the chagrin of gardeners, and roses.
In the people garden in addition is foliar fertilizer used (it is sprayed directly on the leaves and absorbed about this from the plant).
Finishes in the Augarten
Old rose varieties are no longer commercially available. Maybe because they are more sensitive, vulnerable. Thus, the bud of Dr. F. Debat already not open anymore, if it has rained twice.
Roses need to be replaced in the People's Garden, this is sometimes done through an exchange with the Augarten Palace or the nursery, where the finishes are made. Previously there were roses in Hirschstetten and the Danube Park, but the City of Vienna has abandoned its local rose population (not to say destroyed), no exchange with these institutions is possible anymore.
Was formerly in breeding the trend to large flowers, one tends to smell roses again today. Most varieties show their resplendent, lush flowers only once, early in the rose-year, but modern varieties are more often blooming.
200 shrub roses
Some shrub roses bloom in the rose garden next to the Grillparzer Monument
Most of the shrub or park roses can be found along the fence to Heroes' Square. These types are so old, and there are now so many variations that even a species of rose connoisseurs assignment is no longer possible in many cases.
The showy, white, instensiv fragrant wild rose with its large umbels near des Triton Fountain is called Snow White.
Shrub roses are actually "Old Garden Roses" or "old roses", what a time
classification of roses is that were on the market before 1867.
Shrub roses are also called park roses because they are often planted as a soloist in a park/garden.
They grow shrubby, reaching heights up to 2 meters and usually bloom only 1 x per year.
The Renner- Rose
The most famous bush rose sits at the exit to Ballhausplatz before the presidential office.
It is named after the former Austrian President Dr. Karl Renner
When you enter, coming from the Ballhausplatz, the Viennese folk garden of particular note is a large rose bush, which is in full bloom in June.
Before that, there is a panel that indicates that the rose is named after Karl Renner, founder of the First and Second Republic. The history of the rose is a bit of an adventure. President Dr. Karl Renner was born on 14 in December 1870 in the Czech village of Untertannowitz as the last of 18 children of a poor family.
Renner output rose at Ballhausplatz
He grew up there in a small house, in the garden, a rose bush was planted.
In summer 1999, the then Director of the Austrian Federal Gardens, Peter Fischer Colbrie was noted that Karl Renner's birthplace in Untertannowitz - Dolni Dunajovice today - and probably would be demolished and the old rosebush as well fall victim to the demolition.
High haste was needed, as has already been started with the removal of the house.
Misleading inscription " reconstruction"?
The Federal Gardens director immediately went to a Rose Experts on the way to Dolni Dunajovice and discovered "as only bright spot in this dismal property the at the back entrance of the house situated, large and healthy, then already more than 80 year old rose bush".
After consultation with the local authorities Peter Fischer Colbrie received approval, to let the magnificent rose bush dig-out and transport to Vienna.
Renner Rose is almost 100 years old
A place had been found in the Viennese People´s Garden, diagonal vis-à-vis the office where the president Renner one resided. On the same day, the 17th August 1999 the rosebush was there planted and in the following spring it sprouted already with flowers.
In June 2000, by the then Minister of Agriculture Molterer and by the then Mayor Zilk was a plaque unveiled that describes the origin of the rose in a few words. Meanwhile, the "Renner-Rose" is far more than a hundred years old and is enjoying good health.

After verifying that none of the 16 000 angry truck drivers were
blockading the road to Tiwanaku, we set out for a very fun day at the
ruins!
We grabbed a city bus/van to the cemetery district and then got into
another minivan heading to Tiwanaku. After waiting around for a while,
we set off, driving out of the city through the neighbouring
municipality of El Alto and then through the stunning Altiplano with
views of snowy mountains above the city. We chatted with a couple of
English people, also spending the day at the ruins. It never takes long
for people to think that the gulf islands are one of the weirdest places
they've ever heard of.
We hopped out of the van outside the ruins and bought some cookies for a
snack before entering the main site. It was almost deserted and
absolutely spectacular. We started by exploring Akapana, a large pyramid
made mainly from earth that was thought to have been the centre of the
city. Then we visited the semi-subterranean temple with carving of faces
jutting out from the walls. They are thought to represent the gods of
the cultures conquered by the Tiwanaku. Then, we spent a long time
oohing and awing over the incredible architecture of Kalasasaya, the
sacred centre of the city. The stone work was incredible, and it's
especially amazing in a culture without iron tools. There were ornate
doorways and statues, and a very sophisticated aqueduct system. We also
saw a huge mud alter that's still used for Aymara ceremonies at the
site. Our last stop in the main complex was Putini, which is thought to
be a burial ground. By this time, buses full of tourists were arriving,
but we managed to avoid them as they started to explore the site.
Next, we visited the Museo Litico which houses many of the statues
uncovered during the excavations of Tiwanaku. They were all incredible;
the Pachamama (or Mother Earth) statue was 7.3 meters tall and covered
from head to toe in details carvings. The style of lots of the statues
resembles totem poles, so that was a cool link between distant cultures.
It was past noon by now, so we decided to venture into the town of
Tiwanaku to find a cheap place to eat. After a delicious meal of soup
and rice, we found a store selling treats to the hoards of
turquoise-sweater-wearing school kids. We bought ice cream and then
headed towards the second complex of ruins: Puma Punku. We were the only
ones there for most of the time and it was magical. There was some
impressive stonework and it was super cool to walk around the earth
pyramid and see it from all angles.
Finally, we visited the ceramics museum, which was very busy with tour
groups. It was still cool though, to see the pottery and a few textiles
that had been used in the site.
Tired after such a fun day, we got on another mini-bus and headed back
to La Paz.

Finally made up my mind to create my own diary for 2012 a week ago, here I go sharing with you all! But first please give me a little support, my Dad recovered from prostate cancer but at the same time developed Parkinson's disease a few years ago. In the past week he has deteriorated a lot, bed bound finally, no more speech, I'm the last person he can recognize. It is so tough for Mom as a care taker. All I ask for is your sincere prayers, as you download this creation, for my Dad and Mom, so that he can go peacefully proud of his sons, and she can start to explore this new world with us. What a courageous woman she is.

Thanks to my Dad's dedication to Chinese painting and art, I had my implicit training early in life and became a visual person yet unafraid to look deep into the subject matters. For years, I bought diaries but none of them satisfied my visual and creative needs.
(www.flickr.com/photos/moleskineart/6335595394/in/photostream)
Since the beginning of the diary making business, every single diary is made by representing time in fixed grids. To challenge this right representation, after exploring in deep thoughts the essence of my own perfect diary, I present to you my Chronodex idea.
Come to think of it, the paper which makes up a diary originated from trees, when the sheets of paper are bound together in the middle, it is almost like foliages stemming from a tree's trunk. Each page is like a branch, each opened page is a week, each day is like a beautiful flower grew from that page, consist of petals of your day's time slices.
You may argue that this format is still slicing time into blocks and far from the fractal nature, but soon as you start using it, you will find that time is no longer right, instead you will find fluidity through free notations.
The more important time slices can be drawn larger, activities can be dots or pies (petals if you will) depending on duration or importance, space on a page is no longer limited to grids. Basically you can roam freely and be amazed how beautiful your week can be.
What's more is that your mind gradually deviate from the rigid format a typical diary imposes on you, reactivity soon flourishes. Imagine the effect happening in weeks! And I'm not kidding.

To grow your own diary, after downloading the PDF version of your choice, print it out double sided (duplex) in landscape mode on A4 papers. Be sure to print it out 100% without scale, left/right binding (try the first few pages on your printer and settings and you'll see what I mean). Check the sequence after the print out.

Now here's the interesting part of the binding. Use a chisel to punch holes on both ends of the spine and stitch the pages up. You can staple them together just the same. This method will get you a bound notebook but ready for a cool bookmark which I will mention in a moment.

To create a bookmark, simple take a piece of hard paper, cut it the way I showed above. Slide it between the papers of the current week, the slide 90 degree up following the spine to have the tab exposed on top of the diary (I hope I'm describing it right). There you go! a bookmark with a tab extruding from the top of your diary.
This cool bookmark invention based on the way you bind your diary is so useful and flexible, you will find it amazing when you reach the 12th week of the year! Tell me about that in a few months.

The last part of my Chronodex journey was to make a cool diary cover. Thanks for my family's tolerance, I had a little free time in broad daylight having fun doing it, 2 cups of coffee, listening to audiobook through my iPhone/Jambox combo.

Small features are infused into the diary, I hope you will enjoy the little tibits, do explore the "Boarding pass to success" idea. If you are interested, I will be sharing the July - December version, which is still in stage zero. Fellow Scription reader Boris from Russia already had a taste of the Chronodex, so go ahead and try yours. Your feedback and comment is what keeps me going, please do pray.

In person and via photography, verified and corroborated with the most trustworthy, heavily credentialed, senior, and sane collectors I know--about a half dozen of them!!--that this "last cartouche" (the DAS is NOT a cartouche--no writing or letters! Check a dictionary for the old "Egyptian" correct definition and its basis if you doubt that... ) butt stock is authentic, albeit it's been sanded. Not too many dings. No cracks, no paint, weird Danish or other stampings...
The metal will be removed before I dump it for something I actually need.
Weirdly, this was about the very LAST item I was looking for or wanted when I stumbled across this, and upon cleanup, contacted the network of "usual suspects" because I no longer trust my eyesight on wood. Looking back, I doubt if I've seen two dozen of these. They're fairly close to being the least common of the letter cartouched butt stocks.
Funny story: ran into a stock, long ago, with no box or crossed cannons or anything, just "JLG", in about the right position. I bought it out of an estate. Thought it might be an "ultra-rare" marking. It was, in a way. The other confusing number was 9 digits in front of the rear swivel. It was Mister Grafton's Social Security number!! The "JLG" was his initials.
Last one I had was on an old D.C.M. rifle, from an estate, and had been surmarked with a DAS (Defense Acceptance Stamp). It, too, was absolutely authentic, and appeared on an all original rifle right in that low 4 million area where one would figure such things might've happened.
Anyway, it's a certainty. Not some loudmouth's assertion or slimy internet "proof"!! Strange find. There are handguards with it which "color match", but I remain unconvinced they're "correct" to it, and I have other uses for them, anyway.

Galaxy M101
The Pinwheel Galaxy (also known as Messier 101 or NGC 5457) is a spiral galaxy 25 million light-years (8 megaparsecs) away in the constellation Ursa Major.
It was discovered by Pierre Méchain on March 27, 1781, who later reported his discovery to Charles Messier who verified its position and added it to the Messier Catalog as one of the last entries.
It is one of the largest galaxies in the vicinity of the Milky Way, with a diameter more than twice that of the Milky Way, and is characterized both by its richness in gas to form new stars and by its high number of HII regions (more than 3000, some so large and bright that they have their own NGC number and that have been studied by the Hubble Space Telescope, showing the presence of super star clusters in at least some of them) and young star clusters (also studied with said telescope), which points to a high rate of star formation. This, together with the asymmetry it shows in the photographs (which has made it appear in Halton C. Arp's Atlas of Peculiar Galaxies as Arp 26, and defined as a spiral galaxy with a well-defined arm) suggests that -in astronomical terms- relatively recently another galaxy was about to collide with it, causing both phenomena.
This galaxy has an almost non-existent bulge, and according to recent studies it seems to lack a supermassive black hole at its center, unlike, for example, our galaxy.
M101 is accompanied by five prominent satellite galaxies: NGC 5204, NGC 5474, NGC 5477, NGC 5585, and Holmberg IV, which may be responsible for its current state - in fact, M101 appears to have distorted the galaxy NGC 5474. It is part of the M101 Group

Galaxia M101
La galaxia del Molinete (también conocida como Messier 101 o NGC 5457) es una galaxia espiral a 25 millones de años luz (8 megaparsecs) en la constelación Osa Mayor.
Fue descubierta por Pierre Méchain el 27 de marzo de 1781, quien posteriormente comunicó su descubrimiento a Charles Messier que verificó su posición y la añadió al Catálogo Messier como una de las últimas entradas.
Es una de las galaxias más grandes existentes en la vecindad de la Vía Láctea, con un diámetro de más del doble que ella, y se caracteriza tanto por su riqueza en gas para formar nuevas estrellas cómo por su elevado número de regiones HII (más de 3000, algunas tan grandes y brillantes que tienen número NGC propio y que han sido estudiadas por el Telescopio Espacial Hubble, mostrando la presencia de super cúmulos estelares al menos en algunas de ellas) y de cúmulos estelares jóvenes (también estudiados con dicho telescopio), lo que apunta a una elevada tasa de formación estelar. Ello junto a la asimetría que muestra en las fotografías (que la ha hecho aparecer en el Atlas de galaxias peculiares de Halton C. Arp cómo Arp 26, y definida cómo Galaxia espiral con un brazo bien definido) hace pensar que -en términos astronómicos- hace relativamente poco otra galaxia estuvo a punto de colisionar con ella, causando ambos fenómenos.
Esta galaxia tiene un bulbo casi inexistente, y de acuerdo a estudios recientes parece carecer de agujero negro supermasivo en su centro, a diferencia de, por ejemplo, nuestra galaxia.
M101 está acompañada por cinco galaxias satélite prominentes: NGC 5204, NGC 5474, NGC 5477, NGC 5585, y Holmberg IV, que pueden ser las responsables de su estado actual -de hecho, M101 parece haber distorsionado a la galaxia NGC 5474-. Forma parte del Grupo M101

The history of roses in the People's Garden
The People's Garden, located between the Imperial Palace and the ring road is famous for its beautiful roses:
1000 standard roses
4000 Floribunda,
300 rambling roses,
(Also called Rose Park) 200 shrub roses.
Noteworthy is the diversity: there are about 400 varieties, including very old plants:
1859 - Rubens
1913 - Pearl of the Vienna Woods
1919 - Jean C.N. Forestier
The above amounts are from the Federal Gardens. My own count has brought other results:
730 tree roses
2300 Floribunda
132 rambling roses
100 shrub roses
That's about 3300 roses in total. Approx. 270 species I was able to verify. Approx. 50 rose bushes were not labeled. Some varieties come very often, others only once or twice.
Molineux 1994
Rubens 1859
Medialis 1993
Swan lake 1968
Once flourished here Lilac and Rhododendron bushes
1823 People's Garden was opened with the Temple of Theseus. Then made multiple extensions.
The part of today's "Rosarium" along the Ring Road was built in 1862. (Picture fence 1874)
What is so obvious to today's Vienna, was not always so: most of the beds in the People's Garden originally were planted with lilac and rhododendron.
Only after the second World War II it was converted to the present generous rose jewelry.
Since then grow along the ring side creepers, high stem and floribunda roses. On the side of Heroes Square, with the outputs, shrub roses were placed, among which there are also some wild roses.
1889 emerged the Grillparzer Monument.

Classifications of roses
(Wild roses have 7 sheets - prize roses 5 sheets)
English Rose
Florybunda
Hybrid Tea Rose
Rambling Rose
At the Roses in the People´s Garden are hanging labels (if they do not fall victim to vandals or for souvenirs) with the year indication of breeding, the name of breeding and botanical description:
Hybrid Tea Rose (TB): 1 master, 1 flower;
Florybunda (Flb): 1 strain, many flowers;
English Rose (Engl): mixture of old and modern varieties Tb and Flb.
Called Schlingrose, also climbing rose
Florybunda: 1 strain, many flowers (Donauprinzessin)
Shrub Roses - Floribunda - Tree roses - Climbing Roses
Even as a child, we hear the tale of Sleeping Beauty, but roses have no thorns, but spines. Thorns are fused directly to the root and can not be easily removed as spines (upper wooden containers called).
All roses belong to the bush family (in contrast to perennials that "disappear" in the winter). Nevertheless, there is the term Shrub Rose: It's a chronological classification of roses that were on the market before 1867. They are very often planted as a soloist in a garden, which them has brought the name "Rose Park".
Hybrid Tea Rose: 1 master, 1 flower (rose Gaujard )
Other classifications are:
(High) standard roses: roses are not grafted near the ground, but at a certain strain level. With that, the rose gardener sets the height of the crown.
Floribunda roses : the compact and low bushy roses are ideal for group planting on beds
Crambling roses: They have neither roots nor can they stick up squirm. Their only auxiliary tool are their spines with which they are entangled in their ascent into each other
English Rose: mixture of old varieties, hybrid tea and Florybunda (Tradescanth)
4000 Floribunda
Floribunda roses are hardy, grow compact, knee-high and bushy, are durable and sturdy
There are few smelling varieties
Polyantha classification: a tribe, many small flowers; Florybunda: a tribe, many big blossoms
New concept of color: from red to light yellow
The thousands Floribunda opposite of Grillparzer Monument shimmer (still) in many colors. From historical records, however, is indicated that there was originally a different color scheme for the Floribunda than today: At the entrance of the Burgtheater side the roses were dark and were up to Grillparzer monument ever brighter - there they were then already white.
This color range they want again, somewhat modified, resume with new plantings: No white roses in front of the monument, but bright yellow, so that Grillparzer monument can better stand out. It has already begun, there was heavy frost damage during the winter 2011/12.
Colorful roses
2011: white and pink roses
2012: after winter damage new plantings in shades of yellow .
Because the domestic rose production is not large enough, the new, yellow roses were ordered in Germany (Castor).

Watering
Waterinr of the Floribunda in the morning at 11 clock
What roses do not like at all, and what attracts pests really magically, the foliage is wet. Therefore, the Floribunda roses are in the People's Garde poured in the morning at 11 clock, so that the leaves can dry thoroughly.
Ground sprinklers pouring only the root crown, can not be used because the associated hoses should be buried in the earth, and that in turn collide with the Erdanhäufung (amassing of earth) that is made for winter protection. Choosing the right time to do it, it requires a lot of sense. Is it too early, so still too warm, the bed roses begin to drive again, but this young shoots freeze later, inevitably, because they are too thin.
1000 Tree roses
Most standard roses are found in the rose garden.
During the renovation of the Temple of Theseus the asphalt was renewed in 2011, which was partially only a few centimeters thick, and so was the danger that trucks with heavy transports break into. Due to this construction site the entire flower bed in front had to be replaced.
Now the high-stem Rose Maria Theresia is a nice contrast to the white temple, at her feet sits the self-cleaning floribunda aspirin. Self-cleaning means that withered flowers fall off and rarely maintenance care is needed.
Pink 'Maria Theresa' and white 'aspirin' before the temple of Theseus
Standard tree rose Maria Theresa
Floribunda aspirin
The concept of the (high) standard roses refers to a special type of rose decoration. Suitable varieties of roses are not grafted near the ground, but at a certain height of the trunk. With that the rose gardener sets the height of the crown fixed (60 cm, 90 cm, 140 cm)
Plantings - Pests - Winter Care
Normally about 50 roses in the People's Garden annually have to be replaced because of winter damages and senility. Till a high standard rose goes on sale, it is at least 4 years old. With replantings the soil to 50 cm depth is completely replaced (2/3 basic soil, 1/3 compost and some peat ).
Roses have enemies, such as aphids. Against them the Pirimor is used, against the Buchsbaumzünsler (Box Tree Moth, Cydalima perspectalis) Calypso (yet - a resistance is expected).
In popular garden roses are sprayed with poison, not only when needed, but also as a precaution, since mildew and fire rose (both are types of fungi) also overwinter.
Therefore it is also removed as far as possible with the standard roses before packing in winter the foliage.
Pest Control with Poison
The "Winter Package " first is made with paper bags, jute bags, then it will be pulled (eg cocoa or coffee sacks - the commercially available yard goods has not proven).
They are stored in the vault of the gardener deposit in the Burggarten (below the Palm House). There namely also run the heating pipes. Put above them, the bags after the winter can be properly dried.
Are during the winter the mice nesting into the packaged roses, has this consequences for the crows want to approach the small rodents and are getting the packaging tatty. It alreay has happened that 500 standard roses had to be re-wrapped.
"Winter Package" with paper and jute bags
300 ambling roses
The Schlingrosen (Climbing Roses) sit "as a framing" behind the standard roses.
Schlingrose pearl from the Vienna Woods
Schlingrose Danube
Schlingrose tenor
Although climbing roses are the fastest growing roses, they get along with very little garden space.
They have no rootlets as the evergreen ivy, nor can they wind up like a honeysuckle. Their only auxiliary tool are their spines with which they are entangled in their ascent mesh.
Climbing roses can reach stature heights of 2 to 3 meters.
4 x/year fertilizing
4 times a year, the soil is fertilized. From August, but no more, because everything then still new drives would freeze to death in winter. Well-rotted horse manure as fertilizer was used (straw mixed with horse manure, 4 years old). It smelled terrible, but only for 2 days.
Since the City of Vienna may only invest more plant compost heap (the EU Directive prohibits animal compost heap on public property), this type of fertilization is no longer possible to the chagrin of gardeners, and roses.
In the people garden in addition is foliar fertilizer used (it is sprayed directly on the leaves and absorbed about this from the plant).
Finishes in the Augarten
Old rose varieties are no longer commercially available. Maybe because they are more sensitive, vulnerable. Thus, the bud of Dr. F. Debat already not open anymore, if it has rained twice.
Roses need to be replaced in the People's Garden, this is sometimes done through an exchange with the Augarten Palace or the nursery, where the finishes are made. Previously there were roses in Hirschstetten and the Danube Park, but the City of Vienna has abandoned its local rose population (not to say destroyed), no exchange with these institutions is possible anymore.
Was formerly in breeding the trend to large flowers, one tends to smell roses again today. Most varieties show their resplendent, lush flowers only once, early in the rose-year, but modern varieties are more often blooming.
200 shrub roses
Some shrub roses bloom in the rose garden next to the Grillparzer Monument
Most of the shrub or park roses can be found along the fence to Heroes' Square. These types are so old, and there are now so many variations that even a species of rose connoisseurs assignment is no longer possible in many cases.
The showy, white, instensiv fragrant wild rose with its large umbels near des Triton Fountain is called Snow White.
Shrub roses are actually "Old Garden Roses" or "old roses", what a time
classification of roses is that were on the market before 1867.
Shrub roses are also called park roses because they are often planted as a soloist in a park/garden.
They grow shrubby, reaching heights up to 2 meters and usually bloom only 1 x per year.
The Renner- Rose
The most famous bush rose sits at the exit to Ballhausplatz before the presidential office.
It is named after the former Austrian President Dr. Karl Renner
When you enter, coming from the Ballhausplatz, the Viennese folk garden of particular note is a large rose bush, which is in full bloom in June.
Before that, there is a panel that indicates that the rose is named after Karl Renner, founder of the First and Second Republic. The history of the rose is a bit of an adventure. President Dr. Karl Renner was born on 14 in December 1870 in the Czech village of Untertannowitz as the last of 18 children of a poor family.
Renner output rose at Ballhausplatz
He grew up there in a small house, in the garden, a rose bush was planted.
In summer 1999, the then Director of the Austrian Federal Gardens, Peter Fischer Colbrie was noted that Karl Renner's birthplace in Untertannowitz - Dolni Dunajovice today - and probably would be demolished and the old rosebush as well fall victim to the demolition.
High haste was needed, as has already been started with the removal of the house.
Misleading inscription " reconstruction"?
The Federal Gardens director immediately went to a Rose Experts on the way to Dolni Dunajovice and discovered "as only bright spot in this dismal property the at the back entrance of the house situated, large and healthy, then already more than 80 year old rose bush".
After consultation with the local authorities Peter Fischer Colbrie received approval, to let the magnificent rose bush dig-out and transport to Vienna.
Renner Rose is almost 100 years old
A place had been found in the Viennese People´s Garden, diagonal vis-à-vis the office where the president Renner one resided. On the same day, the 17th August 1999 the rosebush was there planted and in the following spring it sprouted already with flowers.
In June 2000, by the then Minister of Agriculture Molterer and by the then Mayor Zilk was a plaque unveiled that describes the origin of the rose in a few words. Meanwhile, the "Renner-Rose" is far more than a hundred years old and is enjoying good health.

After verifying that none of the 16 000 angry truck drivers were
blockading the road to Tiwanaku, we set out for a very fun day at the
ruins!
We grabbed a city bus/van to the cemetery district and then got into
another minivan heading to Tiwanaku. After waiting around for a while,
we set off, driving out of the city through the neighbouring
municipality of El Alto and then through the stunning Altiplano with
views of snowy mountains above the city. We chatted with a couple of
English people, also spending the day at the ruins. It never takes long
for people to think that the gulf islands are one of the weirdest places
they've ever heard of.
We hopped out of the van outside the ruins and bought some cookies for a
snack before entering the main site. It was almost deserted and
absolutely spectacular. We started by exploring Akapana, a large pyramid
made mainly from earth that was thought to have been the centre of the
city. Then we visited the semi-subterranean temple with carving of faces
jutting out from the walls. They are thought to represent the gods of
the cultures conquered by the Tiwanaku. Then, we spent a long time
oohing and awing over the incredible architecture of Kalasasaya, the
sacred centre of the city. The stone work was incredible, and it's
especially amazing in a culture without iron tools. There were ornate
doorways and statues, and a very sophisticated aqueduct system. We also
saw a huge mud alter that's still used for Aymara ceremonies at the
site. Our last stop in the main complex was Putini, which is thought to
be a burial ground. By this time, buses full of tourists were arriving,
but we managed to avoid them as they started to explore the site.
Next, we visited the Museo Litico which houses many of the statues
uncovered during the excavations of Tiwanaku. They were all incredible;
the Pachamama (or Mother Earth) statue was 7.3 meters tall and covered
from head to toe in details carvings. The style of lots of the statues
resembles totem poles, so that was a cool link between distant cultures.
It was past noon by now, so we decided to venture into the town of
Tiwanaku to find a cheap place to eat. After a delicious meal of soup
and rice, we found a store selling treats to the hoards of
turquoise-sweater-wearing school kids. We bought ice cream and then
headed towards the second complex of ruins: Puma Punku. We were the only
ones there for most of the time and it was magical. There was some
impressive stonework and it was super cool to walk around the earth
pyramid and see it from all angles.
Finally, we visited the ceramics museum, which was very busy with tour
groups. It was still cool though, to see the pottery and a few textiles
that had been used in the site.
Tired after such a fun day, we got on another mini-bus and headed back
to La Paz.

Every memorable motorcycle is built around a great engine, and Polaris has made a large investment in making the all-new Thunder Stroke 111 motor a force to reckon with. The engine's architecture and exterior sculpting echo classic Indian engines with their parallel pushrods and downward-facing exhausts. Engineers say it will produce a ground-pounding 115 lb-ft of torque, and it's no accident that the 111-cubic-inch V-twin is slightly bigger than Harley's grandest engine, the 110-cubic-inch twin cam.
History[edit]
Early years – Hendee and Hedström[edit]
Carl Oscar Hedström with the first prototype of Indian
1920 Indian Powerplus
This section needs additional citations for verification. Please help improve this article by adding citations to reliable sources. Unsourced material may be challenged and removed. (November 2009)
The "Indian Motocycle Co." was originally founded as the Hendee Manufacturing Company by George M. Hendee in 1897 to manufacture bicycles. These were initially badged as "Silver King" and "Silver Queen" brands but the name "American Indian", very quickly reduced to simply "Indian", was adopted by Hendee from 1898 onwards because it gave better product recognition in export markets. Carl Oscar Hedström joined in 1900. Both Hendee and Hedström were former bicycle racers and manufacturers, and they teamed up to produce a motorcycle with a 1.75 bhp, single-cylinder engine in Hendee's home town of Springfield. The bike was successful and sales increased dramatically during the next decade.[3]
In 1901, a prototype and two production units of the diamond framed Indian Single were successfully designed, built and tested. The first Indian motorcycles, featuring chain drives and streamlined styling, were sold to the public in 1902. In 1903, Indian's co-founder and chief engineer Oscar Hedström set the world motorcycle speed record (56 mph).[citation needed] In 1904 the company introduced the deep red color that would become Indian's trademark. Production of Indian motorcycles then exceeded 500 bikes annually, rising to a peak of 32,000 in 1913. The engines of the Indian Single were built by the Aurora Firm in Illinois under license from the Hendee Mfg. Co. until 1906.
Competitive successes[edit]
Indian 1911
In 1905, Indian built its first V-twin factory racer, and in following years made a strong showing in racing and record-breaking. In 1907 the company introduced the first street version V-twin and a roadster styled after the factory racer. The roadster can be distinguished from the racers by the presence of twist grip linkages.[4][verification needed] One of the firm's most famous riders was Erwin "Cannonball" Baker, who set many long-distance records. In 1914, he rode an Indian across America, from San Diego to New York, in a record 11 days, 12 hours and ten minutes. Baker's mount in subsequent years was the Powerplus, a side-valve V-twin, which was introduced in 1916. Its 61ci (1000 cc), 42 degree V-twin engine was more powerful and quieter than previous designs, giving a top speed of 60 mph (96 km/h). The Powerplus was highly successful, both as a roadster and as the basis for racing bikes. It remained in production with few changes until 1924.
Competition success played a big part in Indian's rapid growth and spurred technical innovation, as well. One of the American firm's best early results came in the Isle of Man TT in 1911, when Indian riders Oliver Cyril Godfrey, Franklin and Moorehouse finished first, second and third. Indian star Jake DeRosier set several speed records both in America and at Brooklands in England, and won an estimated 900 races on dirt and board track racing.[5] He left Indian for Excelsior and died in 1913, aged 33, of injuries sustained in a board track race crash with Charles "Fearless" Balke, who later became Indian's top rider.[5] Work at the Indian factory was stopped while DeRosier's funeral procession passed.[5]
Oscar Hedstrom left Indian in 1913 after disagreements with the Board of Directors regarding dubious practices to inflate the company's stock values.[6] George Hendee resigned in 1916.[7]
Indian lightweights 1916-1919[edit]
Indian introduced the 221 cc single cylinder two-stroke Model K "Featherweight" in 1916.[8][9] The Model K had an open cradle frame with the engine as a stressed member[10] and a pivoting front fork that had been used earlier on single-cylinder motorcycles but had mostly been replaced on other Indian motorcycles by a leaf-sprung trailing link fork.[8]
The Model K was manufactured for one year and was replaced in 1917 by the Model O. The Model O had a four-stroke flat-twin engine and a new frame, but retained the pivoting fork at the front. The Model O was manufactured until 1919.[8]
World War I[edit]
As the US entered World War I, Indian unnecessarily sold most of its Powerplus line in 1917 and 1918 to the United States government, starving its network of dealers. This blow to domestic availability of the motorcycles led to a loss of dealers from which Indian never quite recovered.[11] While the motorcycles were popular in the military, post-war demand was then taken up by other manufacturers to whom many of the previously loyal Indian dealers turned. While Indian shared in the business boom of the 1920s, it had lost its Number One position in the US market to Harley-Davidson.
Menneto is confident in Indian's future prospects. "We're capable of giving Harley a run for their money in technical features," he says. The all-new Indian bike, set to debut in August at the Sturgis, S.D., bike rally, will bear the brand's heralded Chief model name. With the price starting at $18,999, Indian executives say they can break even by capturing just 4 or 5 percent of the heavyweight cruiser market. That's not enough to cause panic in Milwaukee, where Harley oversees the company's 57 percent overall market share, but the bosses in Wisconsin can't be sleeping easy with the thought of their old rival and freshly engineered Indian machinery hitting the roads.

After verifying that none of the 16 000 angry truck drivers were
blockading the road to Tiwanaku, we set out for a very fun day at the ruins!
We grabbed a city bus/van to the cemetery district and then got into
another minivan heading to Tiwanaku. After waiting around for a while,
we set off, driving out of the city through the neighbouring
municipality of El Alto and then through the stunning Altiplano with
views of snowy mountains above the city. We chatted with a couple of
English people, also spending the day at the ruins. It never takes long
for people to think that the gulf islands are one of the weirdest places
they've ever heard of.
We hopped out of the van outside the ruins and bought some cookies for a
snack before entering the main site. It was almost deserted and
absolutely spectacular. We started by exploring Akapana, a large pyramid
made mainly from earth that was thought to have been the centre of the
city. Then we visited the semi-subterranean temple with carving of faces
jutting out from the walls. They are thought to represent the gods of
the cultures conquered by the Tiwanaku. Then, we spent a long time
oohing and awing over the incredible architecture of Kalasasaya, the
sacred centre of the city. The stone work was incredible, and it's
especially amazing in a culture without iron tools. There were ornate
doorways and statues, and a very sophisticated aqueduct system. We also
saw a huge mud alter that's still used for Aymara ceremonies at the
site. Our last stop in the main complex was Putini, which is thought to
be a burial ground. By this time, buses full of tourists were arriving,
but we managed to avoid them as they started to explore the site.
Next, we visited the Museo Litico which houses many of the statues
uncovered during the excavations of Tiwanaku. They were all incredible;
the Pachamama (or Mother Earth) statue was 7.3 meters tall and covered
from head to toe in details carvings. The style of lots of the statues
resembles totem poles, so that was a cool link between distant cultures.
It was past noon by now, so we decided to venture into the town of
Tiwanaku to find a cheap place to eat. After a delicious meal of soup
and rice, we found a store selling treats to the hoards of
turquoise-sweater-wearing school kids. We bought ice cream and then
headed towards the second complex of ruins: Puma Punku. We were the only
ones there for most of the time and it was magical. There was some
impressive stonework and it was super cool to walk around the earth
pyramid and see it from all angles.
Finally, we visited the ceramics museum, which was very busy with tour
groups. It was still cool though, to see the pottery and a few textiles
that had been used in the site.
Tired after such a fun day, we got on another mini-bus and headed back
to La Paz.

These steps separate believers from the faithless.
To climb these steps into a boxing ring, is to accept a close examination of one’s gladiatorial range and also the unforgiving and public verification of the attributes that distinguish champions from also-rans.
These steps offer the final ‘heartcheck’ before the first bell sounds and retreat is impossible.
Nur Ali Erdogan’s ring entrance (pictured) pleases the traditionalists and fits his man of the people appeal. His name is announced. He walks towards the ring. He raises his arms to acknowledge his supporters and then business begins.
Higher up the boxing food chain and the picture is much different (www.youtube.com/watch?v=xL9wfUYpDcs).
Canelo's seven minute prelude to his fight against no-hoper Avni Yildirim (www.youtube.com/watch?v=eByxkesA6lY) was delightfully absurd.
It has come to something when the ringwalk has more action and fireworks than the main event.
‘Dynamite’ Daniel Dubois looked ready for war as he entered the ring for his match-up against the unfancied heavyweight Joe Joyce late last year.
‘Triple D” was the bookmaker’s clear favourite and the contest was expected to be nothing more than a routine victory and a milestone in the Londoner’s irresistible march to the division’s highest peak.
Dubois left the ring with a smashed eye-socket, his boxing reputation in tatters and disgracefully, the derision of certain onlookers who, from the comfort of their armchairs, accused the young Londoner of being a ‘quitter,’ possibly the worst of insults for a ring professional.
Yet, look again at his ring walk (www.youtube.com/watch?v=QRVPM-hCAo8) and it is possible to see why some could argue that it is stage-fright rather than dignified confidence that Dubois demonstrates on his way to the fight.
Dubois bows his head. His eyes dart left and right, as if Triple D was struck by the weight of the occasion. By contrast, Joyce was the picture of calm.
My personal ring walk favourites belong to my boxing heroes. White-robed Muhammad Ali looks impossibly relaxed as if emerging from an agreeable hotel spa and massage, as he saunters to the ring for his seminal 1974 contest against George Foreman.
Ali smiles to his Zairean hosts, as if it were just another day at the office, rather than a titanic duel against a devastating opponent, who had reduced Ali’s nemesis, Joe Frazier, to rubble in a title fight in Jamaica (www.youtube.com/watch?v=W4-WjL8jIyQ)
Whilst Ali was all playful delight, Mike Tyson was nothing but seething menace when he approached his defining title bout against Mike Spinks.
Tyson gave the impression that the heavyweight title fight was the irritating conclusion to a eight-hour shift at his local blast furnace, as black shorts, boots, no socks and no cape, he marched purposefully to the ring, flanked by police officers.
Spinks had earlier heard his opponent punching holes in the dressing room walls, so fired-up was he for the fight and Tyson’s ring walk simply underlined the impending doom. Spinks was counted out 90 seconds after the first round bell sounded!
Mike Tyson’s spell-binding ring walk, backed by a pell-mell sound track, was unforgettable and was captured memorably by commentator Bob Sheridan (www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pmvfb8al0QE).
Taking their cues from vintage Tyson, British boxing promoters have become renowned for turning ring walks into theatrical presentations.
Anthony Joshua approaches his ring appointments against some of the planet’s most fearsome executioners in front of 80,000 cheering spectators with Ali-esque detachment,even stopping to bump fists with fans (www.youtube.com/watch?v=D9WNqh6B4JM)
Nineties shooting star ‘Prince’ Nazeem Hamed, once journeyed to the ring on a flying carpet (www.youtube.com/watch?v=5aroMPczxYs). He then vaulted the top rope with the ease of an Olympic gymnast, to the delight of onlookers near and far.
Showman Hamed was a real ring walk trail-blazer, once entering the ring to Michael Jackson’s Thriller (www.youtube.com/watch?v=jZvBDYS6hsY) at the start of his Halloween fight against Wayne McCullough.
Fellow Brit and middleweight superstar Chris Eubank, favoured a Harley Davidson motorbike as his preferred transport against Irish bruiser Steve Collins (www.youtube.com/watch?v=uea19Fc53IQ).
Fortunately, spectators were denied an answer to the question: could a man in 10oz boxing gloves really manoeuvre a speed machine through a packed crowd, without causing mayhem?
Ricky ‘the Hitman’ Hatton showed comedic wit when entering the ring in a fat-suit (www.youtube.com/watch?v=WSW7HGhSvQM) , a sure nod to his reputation among critics for legendary fastfood and drink and drugs benders in-between fights.
Television demands that the lines between this most brutal of sports and entertainment are blurred sufficiently, so that concussive violence can be packaged as a spectacle. As such, pro fights are prefaced by royal processions, pyrotechnics and top hats and tunics, all to the strains of rap and grime beats and Sweet Caroline.
However, this desire to entertain can lead to catastrophe. Just ask Usman Ahmed, victim of the mother of all disastrous pre-fight showboats (www.youtube.com/watch?v=7nhsuypE7DQ) when challenging for the vacant English flyweight title in 2009.
Ahmed’s Bhangra-boogie ring entrance and facial gurning was the stuff of instant legend and became a viral sensation when his opponent Ashley Sexton ended the contest with a first round knock-out.
A faked YouTube video edit (youtu.be/CZ6O6YKe6qI) has now immortalised Ahmed’s showmanship but this chuckle-fest should not b e allowed to define a fighter with eight victories, nine defeats and two draws to his professional record.
Ahmed had the courage to climb the steps into a boxing ring. He buried his demons and his self doubt to face 19 adversaries. Ahmed probably knows more about his own strengths and weaknesses than you or I.
Sexton may have dented his pride but no one should question Ahmed’s guts, his strength, nor his determination.
That’s why there are no fools, bums or charlatans in this most demanding of sports.
Dr. Robert Weems, emeritus paleontologist for the USGS verifies the recently discovered dinosaur track found on the NASA Goddard Space Flight Center campus.
This imprint shows the right rear foot of a nodosaur - a low-slung, spiny leaf-eater - apparently moving in haste as the heel did not fully settle in the cretaceous mud, according to dinosaur tracker Ray Stanford. It was found recently on NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center campus and is being preserved for study.
