New York Times: You are planting that old thing? By Michael Tortorello

You are planting that old thing?

http://www.nytimes.com/2014/05/15/garden/youre-planting-that-old-thing.html?WT.mc_ev=click&WT.mc_id=NYT-E-I-NYT-E-AT-0521-L19&nl=el&nlid=45685287&_r=0

The Catalpa Tree Appreciation Society needs fresh blood. There are no meetings to attend and no dues to pay. All you have to do is appreciate the catalpa tree. Maybe plant one in the yard.

And that’s the hitch. Almost no one appreciates the catalpa tree, and few gardeners have planted one since the financial crisis. The one in the 1930s.

http://www.nytimes.com/2014/05/15/garden/youre-planting-that-old-thing.html?WT.mc_ev=click&WT.mc_id=NYT-E-I-NYT-E-AT-0521-L19&nl=el&nlid=45685287&_r=0

[…]

So why should the “cigar tree” have become less popular than a cigar? And if a plant as congenial and durable as the catalpa could vanish from the country’s nurseries and catalogs, what other horticultural treasures might have faded with it?

[…]

In a broad sense, American homeowners have stopped spending money on all types of trees and shrubs. Bruce Butterfield, the market research director for the National Gardening Association, recorded a 46 percent drop in landscaping purchases in the four years after the financial panic (the 2008 edition). During roughly the same period, food-gardening sales increased 40 percent.

Nick Mediati @dtnick May 11, 2014

I’ll be honest—I’m not a big fan of Gmail’s Web interface. It’s clumsy, it’s awkward, and it takes quite a bit of getting used to. But if a set of apparently leaked screenshots are any indication, Google might be about to update Gmail in a big way.

The images, which Geek.com published on Friday, reportedly show an in-the-works version of Gmail’s Web interface, along with a number of new features." Read more: http://www.pcworld.com/article/2153621/leaked-screenshots-show-a-brand-new-look-for-gmail.html#tk.nl_pcwbest

Flash Memory Cards: What You Need to Know | PCMag.com

Flash Memory Cards: What You Need to Know | PCMag.com: "

MicroSD, MiniSD, SD, SDXC, SDHC? Not sure which card do you need for your camera, phone, or other mobile device? Here's how to make sense of flash memory formats, sizes, and speeds.

With most people carrying around smartphones, MP3 players, digital cameras, pocket camcorders, or all of them, flash memory cards have become a requirement for keeping your digital life running smoothly. If you got a shiny new device that can snap photos or play music, odds are (unless, of course, it's an Apple product) it's going to use a flash memory card to offer additional storage capacity. To get more granular, it's most likely going to use some variety of Secure Digital (SD) card. SD has emerged as the dominant flash memory format, but it's not that simple. There are scores of SD cards of all shapes, sizes, and speeds available, so picking the right one for each device can be slightly confusing.

When it comes to flash memory cards, there are three aspects you need to consider: physical format, size, and speed. Each of the three variables has its own set of classes, so you can have anything from a 1GB Class 2 microSD card to a 32GB UHS-1 SDXC card. We'll explore the distinctions below.

Apple retires Snow Leopard from support, leaves 1 in 5 Macs vulnerable to attacks - Computerworld

Apple retires Snow Leopard from support, leaves 1 in 5 Macs vulnerable to attacks - Computerworld: 

Apple retires Snow Leopard from support, leaves 1 in 5 Macs vulnerable to attacks
Twice now that Apple's bypassed Snow Leopard when it patched newer editions

By Gregg Keizer February 26, 2014

Computerworld - Apple on Tuesday made it clear that it will no longer patch OS X 10.6, aka Snow Leopard, when it again declined to offer a security update for the four-and-a-half-year-old operating system.

As Apple issued an update for Mavericks, or OS X 10.9, as well as for its two predecessors, Mountain Lion (10.8) and Lion (10.7), Apple had nothing for Snow Leopard or its owners yesterday.

How to Upgrade Snow Leopard to OS X Mavericks

How to Upgrade Snow Leopard to OS X Mavericks By Jill Scharr FEBRUARY 27, 2014 11:36 AM - Source: Tom's Guide US

Now that it seems Apple's finally ended support for Mac OS X Snow Leopard 10.6, its fourth-oldest operating system, it's time for users to upgrade. Using an unsupported operating system means that Apple will no longer release security patches and other software fixes, leaving it vulnerable to hackers.

Fortunately, updating to Apple's newest operating system, Mac OS X Mavericks 10.9, is free. Here's how to do it... http://www.tomsguide.com/us/upgrade-snow-leopard-mavericks,news-18388.html

Mr. Selfridge | Mr. Selfridge | Programs | Masterpiece | PBS:

http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/masterpiece/programs/series/mr-selfridge/

At the unfashionable end of Oxford Street in 1909 London, an American retail tycoon arrives to jettison fusty British tradition and open one of the finest department stores the world has ever seen: Selfridges. Three-time Emmy® winner Jeremy Piven (in his first television appearance since his iconic role as Hollywood agent Ari Gold in Entourage) stars as Harry Gordon Selfridge, the flamboyant entrepreneur and showman seeking to provide London's shoppers with the ultimate merchandise and the ultimate thrill.

Emmy® Award-winning writer Andrew Davies (Pride and Prejudice, Bleak House) conjures the opulence and excitement of Selfridges and the story of its founder, a man of exuberant, outsized, and potentially dangerous, appetite. Behind Selfridges' lavish shop windows, gleaming counters, and majestic doors, appetite intersects with ambition and desire not just for Harry, but for his staff, his family, and the various women drawn to the store and the man. Zoe Tapper (Stage Beauty) is showgirl and temptress Ellen Love; Frances O’Connor (Madame Bovary) as is Harry's loyal wife, Rose; Grégory Fitoussi (Spiral) is the mercurial window designer extraordinaire, Henri Leclair; and Aisling Loftus (Case Histories) is the spunky shop girl Agnes Towler. Mr. Selfridge airs Sundays, March 31 through May 19, 2013 at 9pm ET (check local listings) on PBS' MASTERPIECE Classic.

The new operating system for Apple desktops and laptops is a worthwhile update, but there are a few things you might want to know about Mavericks and your own machine.

October 23, 2013|By Chris O'Brien

SAN FRANCISCO — If you own a MacBook laptop or a Mac desktop computer, then Apple's decision to make OS X Mavericks available as a free download may have you itching to upgrade.

What's not to like about free, right?

And there are certainly some nice goodies that would make this a worthwhile update. There's a fresh, new look along with potentially longer battery life. And along with new features such as iBooks, some stalwarts like Safari, Maps and Calendar all get some snazzy improvements.

• OS X

150

End of the line, Snowy. Apple Apple offers no end-of-life roadmaps for its operating systems, and it doesn't officially comment on whether support has dried up for this or that version of OS X. The best you can do is look at historical data. Since switching to a yearly release cadence with Lion back in 2011, Apple seems to be willing to support whatever the latest version is, plus the two preceding versions. When OS X 10.9.2 was released earlier this week, it was accompanied by security updates for OS X 10.8 and 10.7 but not for 2009's OS X 10.6. 

It's the first major security update that Snow Leopard has missed—the OS is still getting iTunes updates, but its last major security patch happened back in September. This has prompted a flurry ofposts from various outlets. All point out the same Net Applications data that says 10.6 still powers around 19 percent of Macs. Most compare the OS X support cycle to the much longer Windows cycle. Some make a bigger deal about it than others. None really tell anyone in that 19 percent what to do next.

You'll need to know the exact kind of Mac you're using before proceeding—typing your serial number into this Service and Support page should give you the information you need if you're not sure. Launching the System Profiler application from the Utilities folder will show you your serial number and your Mac's specific model identifier (something like MacBook4,1 or iMac11,2), the latter of which can be used with this EveryMac lookup page to find what you're looking for...
