Exciting news! I just found out my 9 year old grandson will be in a new Warner Brother's movie! The movie is called, "Unnacompanied Minors", that will be released soon. It's a Comedy/Drama. They are filming part of it in Salt Lake City and vacinity. I think the airport scenes (and maybe a few others were filmed in Chicago at O'Hare, but the rest will be filmed in Utah. Plot Outline: A group of kids bond while snowed in at Chicago's O'Hare International Airport the day after Christmas, and ultimately create a makeshift holiday for themselves. As it is still in production, the data is subject to change. Unaccompanied Minors Starts Production Source: Warner Bros. Pictures March 16, 2006 Production is underway on the comedy Unaccompanied Minors, directed by Paul Feig (Freaks and Geeks) and starring Lewis Black (The Daily Show with Jon Stewart), Wilmer Valderrama (That 70's Show), Tyler James Williams (Everybody Hates Chris) and Dyllan Christopher (Seabiscuit) for Warner Bros. Pictures in association with Village Roadshow Pictures. The announcement was made today by Jeff Robinov, President of Production, Warner Bros. Pictures. It's Christmas Eve and five kids have just been snowed in at the airport -- and there isn't a parent in sight. Unaccompanied Minors follows awkward Spencer (Dyllan Christopher), rich-girl Grace (Gina Mantegna), tomboy Donna (Quinn Shephard), geeky Charlie (Tyler James Williams) and bashful Beef (Brett Kelly) as they try to outwit a disgruntled airport official (Lewis Black) and reunite with their families. Using "borrowed" golf-carts, a canoe on a snow hill and the help of a reluctant flight attendant (Wilmer Valderrama), these kids are about to prove the holidays aren't about where you are, but who you're with. The comedy will also feature Rob Corddry (The Daily Show with Jon Stewart) as Spencer's dad, as well as cameos by Donny Osmond (Donny & Marie), Al Roker (Today), Teri Garr (Friends), Jessica Walter (Arrested Development), Tony Hale (Arrested Development), Rob Riggle (Saturday Night Live), BJ Novak (The Office), David Koechner (Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy), Dave Gruber Allen (The Naked Trucker) and comedian Nick Thune.

Unaccompanied Minors will be released by Warner Bros. Pictures, a Warner Bros. Entertainment Company, and in select territories by Village Roadshow Pictures. I'll let ya'll know more as I hear.

Pancreatic cancer is aggressive and usually terminal- no matter how early they find it. My dad was in his late 70's when diagnosed. He lived 4 months with excrutiating pain until thankfully he passed on. It's funny, he had never been a religious man/christian, though he did believe in God. The pastor from our church came to visit him many times during his illness. The day after he finally accepted Jesus as his savior, he died quietly at home. Pancreatic cancer has also taken the lives of a few of our close friends, some in their early 30's. I agree that we hear of pancreatic cancer being more prevalent now... or maybe we're just hearing more about it now. Terrible disease.

Joe (moosefruit): It seems I found this forum a year to late :( I am having the exact same dark spots all over a Trek Brasilis deck I had installed (three tier - 2000 square feet). I originally thought that it was dirt/etc -- however upon searching of some sort of cleaning agent -- I found that it seems to be mold. I am not sure if you are still pursuing building a collective to influence Trek - however I would LOVE to be apart of it. Should I eamil you - or you can email me at antoniobizzieri@msn.com Best regards, Tony

Dark Desire is in its first year of sales in USA. It just won a German ADR this last September - should require no effort to prevent black spot. We put it into trials 2 years ago in the deep south and it is happy and grows well in the south without fungicides. Size wise this is a big rose 4' x 4' easy and perhaps reaching 5 feet in height. It likes suns and while I have not done any trials in shade but does seem to tolerate afternoon shade in my trial garden. Repeat blooming and fragrant. The foliage is a very dark green with purplish new leaves and the new stems are a mahogany color which you may want to consider in the design. Polar Express is a tall rose reaching 5'. It won an ADR back in 2007 and is quite disease resistant. Good reports on performance in Texas. It blooms recurrently with very heavy flushes of flowers. Shiny bright foliage. Probably best in the background of your rose garden. Lions is a great choice. It tends to be much wider than tall. The number of blooms can be heavy enough to be a bit overhanging. Excellent on disease. Sunbeam Veranda is a compact Floribunda. Bright yellow bloom fading to a mi- range yellow open flower. It is easy to maintain it at about 3' tall and 2'wide. It is good on disease but not as good as some of the other Kordes roses - probably as good as Sun Sprite. Wow you are going to have an amazing rose garden!
