Genera ca.
800, species 22,000 35,000 (701 genera, 208 species in the flora
; 1 genus, 6 species introduced) : worldwide except Antarctica, most diverse in tropical
The overall count for orchid genera in the flora includes Spathoglottis plicata Blume, which was recently reported from Palm Beach
County, Florida. The plants
, known locally since 1982, are apparently widely naturalized
in old shellpits. The number of species in the flora includes one newly recognized species in Habenaria that is morphologically described, but not fully treated here. Orchidaceae are by far the largest and most diverse monocot family
and rank among the largest families of flowering plants. An accurate account of the number of genera and species has eluded orchid scientists, and species counts published in the last 20 years range
from 15,000 to 35,000. New species are continually being described. In addition, numerous natural and artificial hybrids
Although orchids are important in horticulture
, most of the plants traded in the national and international market belong to a small number of species and their hybrids in only a few genera; the majority of orchids are not commonly cultivated. Few orchids are economically important outside the horticultural trade: the fruits of several species of Vanilla are the source of the spice vanilla, and the dry roots of some species of Dactylorhiza, Eulophia, and Orchis are made into salep, a flour
consumed in northern Africa, the Middle
East (especially Turkey), and Asia. Some species are locally used for medicinal purposes; the mucilage from pseudobulbs of several species is sometimes used as glue; and in the Far East the stems of some species of Dendrobium are split into strips used to weave handicrafts. A few orchids have been found to cause contact dermatitis
, Cypripedium reginae) .
Orchids range vegetatively from Lilliputian plants a few millimeters long (Bulbophyllum Thouars and Platystele Schlechter) to gigantic clusters
weighing several hundred
(Grammatophyllum Blume) to some as much as 13.4 meters in height
(Sobralia altissima D. E. Bennett & Christenson, a recently described species from Peru) . Likewise, flowers vary in size from less than 1 mm and barely visible to the naked eye (Platystele Garay), to 15 20 cm diameter (some Paphiopedilum Pfitzer, Phragmipedium Rolfe, and Cattleya Lindley spp.
), and ultimately to 76 cm [Phragmipedium caudatum (Lindley) Rolfe]. Weight
can vary from a fraction of a gram
(many Pleurothallus R. Brown spp.) to nearly 100 grams (Coryanthes Hooker spp.) . Their fragrances vary from delightful (Cattleya Lindley) to repulsive and unbearable (in some species of Bulbophyllum Thouars) . The plants colonize habitats
ranging from some of the driest and hottest places on earth to the wettest and coolest, literally occurring from polar
regions to the equator. Within the monocots, the most important diagnostic features of Orchidaceae are reduction of adaxial
stamens, fusion of the remaining stamens to the gynoecium forming the column, aggregation of pollen into compact
pollinia (present elsewhere only in the dicots
, in Asclepiadaceae), differentiation
of the median petal into the lip, a sometimes complex
organ, and the exceedingly small size of the seed, which lacks endosperm. Among other distinguishing characteristics: pollen in the pollinia is usually not available as a nutrient-source (Cleistes Richard ex
Lindley being a notable exception), and the often complex interaction with pollinators culminates in the phenomenon of pseudocopulation in several genera (e.g., Ophrys Linnaeus, Caladenia R. Brown sect. Calonema, Drakaea Lindley) . In the latter process
, the flower mimics the appearance
, the smell, and often the movements of a female wasp, attracting a male of a suitable species that tries to copulate with the flower. It usually only succeeds in becoming attached to a pollinium
, which will then be transferred if the male tries to copulate with another flower.
Roots of orchids may be covered with velamen, spongy layers derived from the epidermis
; fleshy thickenings of roots are tuberoids (tubers being restricted
to stems) . Stems may be swollen or thickened, underground corms or aerial pseudobulbs. Flowers are often resupinate: the lip (modified median petal) is lowermost, usually as a result of the pedicel being twisted or bent in its development by 180°. Pedicellate ovary, usually used in reference to length
, refers to the combined pedicel and ovary. Flowers are not always borne on pedicels; when they are, it is sometimes difficult to distinguish between a slender ovary and the pedicel. Consequently, because of their slender ovaries, flowers of a racemose spike appear to be pedicellate even though they are sessile, while a spicate raceme has pedicels so short that they appear to be absent. Orchid flowers often have a modified median sepal, the dorsal sepal. Sepals coalescing at their tips
form a synsepal. The middle portion of the upper (adaxial) face
of the lip is the disc: it may be a thickened callus and may bear hairs
, papillae, or other ornamentation. In orchids the style, stigmas, filaments, and one or more anthers are united
to form a column; appendages
laterally from the stigma are column wings; the lip may be attached to the protrusion at the base
of the column to form a column foot
; lateral sepals that are also attached to the foot
form a mentum
(chin) . In most orchids the column bears a single anther at its apex; the clinandrium
is the cavity
within which the anther is borne or embedded
. Pollen is borne in discrete masses (pollinia) . Genera with mealy
(sectile) pollinia may have pollinia within the anther tapering into a caudicle (stalk
), which is attached to a sticky viscidium
. Those with waxy pollinia have pollinia attached to one or two stipes (of stigmatic
and formed outside the anther), which in turn
are attached to a viscidium. The various aggregations of pollinia, caudicles, stipes, and viscidium form a pollinarium
, the pollination unit
carried by pollinators. The median stigma lobe may have a slender extension
or little beak
(rostellum), which aids in gluing the pollinarium to the pollinator.[1]

Virginia Governor McDonnell is UVa-Wise Commencement speaker
Virginia Governor Bob
McDonnell will deliver the keynote address during Commencement exercises at The
University of Virginia's College at Wise on Saturday, May 18, at 11 a.m. on the Lawn by the Lake.
Governor McDonnell was sworn in as the 71st governor of the Commonwealth of Virginia on Jan. 16, 2010. In his campaign for the office he received nearly 59 percent of the vote, and the most votes of any candidate for governor in Virginia history.
Governor McDonnell inherited an unprecedented $6 billion in budget shortfalls. He defeated a proposed $2 billion increase in the state income tax, kept existing car tax relief in place and brought Democrats and Republicans together to close the shortfall without a single tax increase, producing a $400 million surplus.
In 2011,he saw 92 percent of his legislative proposals pass the bi-partisan General Assembly, including his plan that made the largest investment in transportation in Virginia in a generation and advanced 900 projects toward construction, and legislation to make college more affordable and accessible for Virginia students.
In 2012, 88 percent of Governor McDonnell's legislative agenda was approved by the Virginia General Assembly, including measures to make significant investments in K-12 education and higher education, and a reform package that put the most state funding in history into Virginia's pension system.
The governor has dedicated his life to public service. He served 21 years in the U.S. Army, both active duty and reserve, retiring as a Lieutenant Colonel in 1997.

Another day, another bit of Justin Timberlake news. Oh, how I love those words, really and truly. With nothing but The Social Network to hold on to for the past six years (Friends with Benefits doesn't count), the deluge of Timberlake music news is almost too much to take. And with that in mind, who can really blame him for leaving a trail of breadcrumbs for us to follow to the promised land of his album? On Thursday morning, Timberlake dropped his next rationed bit of information for us to cling to, the lyric video for "Suit & Tie."
If you think for a second we won't be playing this on a loop until Timberlake releases the real video, you'd be sorely mistaken. Because damn, this tune is catchy.
In addition to releasing the lyric video, Timberlake announced late Wednesday night that he will be performing his new single on February 2 for the DirecTV Super Saturday Night event at the DTV SuperFan Stadium in New Orleans. The event is a charity concert that will benefit Shriners Hospital for Children. We all know Jay-Z will be in town that weekend to watch his lady perform at the Super Bowl halftime show, so fingers crossed he'll be on hand to rap the confusing intro to Timberlake's song (which, frankly, I don't consider to be part of the actual song).

Illumination of the Check Engine Light may be the result of a loose or worn gas cap.
Service Steering Column Lock Message Due to Anti-Theft System Fault
The service steering column lock message may be displayed, the engine may start and stall when put into gear. Our technicians tell us that this fault is related to the anti-theft system and the steering column lock system must be repaired as necessary. Certain models were recalled for this issue. For more information on this recall please click here»
Check Engine Light Due to Restricted Secondary Air Injection Check Valve
One or both secondary air injection check valves may become restricted causing poor air flow resulting in illumination of the Check Engine Light. It is often recommend to replace both check valves even if a fault code is set for only one bank of cylinders. Replacing only one valve may result in a return trip to the repair shop.
Service Stability Message Due to Failed Steering Wheel Position Sensor
The steering wheel position sensor may fail, resulting in the service stability message being displayed.
Check Engine Light With Code P1870
The transmission may develop a harsh 1-2 shift and/or illumination of the Check Engine Light with code P1870 stored. This can be caused by wear of the bore for the TCC isolator and regulator valves in the valve body. This condition does not commonly occur until the transmission reaches normal operating temperature. If the valve body is worn, replacement will be necessary to correct this concern.

They held up better than the 2012 model played to one 38 holes until I lost it ,much better cover ???
I tested a sleeve also a couple months ago. They weren't too far off from the 2012 ProV1x, but I noticed that they didn't scuff up as badly even after playing the same one for 18 holes. Cover must be a little more durable than the previous model.
I agree! I have played Pro V1 or Pro V1x since they were first introduced. I don't know how Titleist does it but it seems like they improve the ball with each iteration.
I am 100% in love with the 2013 Pro V1x. Best Titleist ball to date and that's saying A LOT!
I was able to test some balls last fall. The ones I was sent were amazingly longer off my 910D2 driver. Consistently 15 yards longer. I set my new best round score of 76 that day. (36/40) Also my first time for 9 holes at par or better. I've been playing ProV1x balls since it has warmed up here in the West Texas desert. 300+ off the driver. Its awesome.
I would love to use some test balls!
How can you get a free sleeve ?
I was lucky enough to receive a sleeve of balls but I didn't receive them until it was already rather cold here in NW Ohio and Didnt get a chance to test them yet I still have the balls sitting in my bag new and ready for play. My question is since I didn't fill out the survey about them do I have less of a chance to be selected again to try new equipment in the future? Also should I still fill out the info after this winter weather breaks and I finally get a chance to give them a good evaluation? Or is it too late and it would no longer matter? I felt pretty privileged to have the chance to be apart of the testing process and hope that ill be selected again in the future!

Pectus carinatum describes a protrusion of the chest over the sternum, often described as giving the person a bird-like appearance.
Pigeon breast; Pigeon chest
Pectus carinatum may occur as a solitary abnormality or in association with other genetic disorders or syndromes.The condition causes the sternum to protrude, with a narrow depression along the sides of the chest. This gives the chest a bowed-out appearance similar to that of a pigeon.
People with pectus carinatum generally develop normal hearts and lungs, but the deformity may prevent these from functioning optimally. There is some evidence that pectus carinatum may prevent complete expiration of air from the lungs in children. These young people may have a decrease in stamina, even if they do not recognize it.
Apart from the possible physiological consequences, pectus deformities can have a significant psychologic impact. Some children live happily with pectus carinatum. For others, though, the shape of the chest can damage their self-image and self-confidence, possibly disrupting connections with others.
No specific care is indicated for this condition.
Call your health care provider if you notice that your child's chest seems abnormal in shape.
A brace may be used to treat children and young adolescents.
The health care provider will perform a physical exam and ask questions about the patient's medical history and symptoms. Questions may include:
Pulmonary function testing may be useful to determine the impact of the deformity on the performance of the heart and lungs. Laboratory studies such as chromosome studies , enzyme assays, x-rays, or metabolic studies may be ordered to confirm the presence of a suspected disorder.
Surgery is a possible treatment option. There have been some reports of improved exercise ability and improved lung perfusion scans after surgery.

Comments about Mens ASICS GEL-Unifire TR Cross Training Shoe:
I bought the Asics Gel-Unifire TR in Charcoal/Yellow. I was looking for an all-around lightweight shoe just for kicking around town. I didn't want a "true" cushioned running shoe but something more of a minimalist shoe and I needed a wide width. I run in 2 pair of Asics Nimbus 16's and love the brand. The Gel-Unifire seems to fit true like my other Asics shoes. I think the fit and the feel of Asics are like no other. Oh and I'm 53 and a somewhat large runner (over 6'2") and I love the Charcoal/Yellow. I'm still too young for any type of white (plain) athletic shoe.

The pilot spotted a large waterway below and ditched the plane at Loch Ness in the Scottish Highlands. Decades later, following several years of deepwater remote sensing investigations, the bomber was raised in September 1985. This free program will trace the history of the British aircraft and its missions, tell about the sunken aircraft's recovery and restoration, and interpret the airplane's discovery in the context of the search for the legendary "Nessie". Presented by Joseph W. Zarzynski, RPA (Register of Professional Archaeologists), an underwater archaeologist who was part of the recovery operation.Anastasia Island Movie Club

STATUS: I feel like I'm being pulled in 10 different directions. I'm here at the RT Convention. On Tuesday, I offered rep to a potential new client. Wednesday I did an hour phone conference with a film producer for another client. Yesterday, I reviewed 5 different offers for a UK auction going down. Today let's talk about romance. It's almost time for Pitch-a-Palooza!
What's playing on the XM or iPod right now? IF IT'S LOVE by Train
But writers can't help themselves. They still ask this question anyway.
At best, this question is unhelpful. If you start writing for the "next hot trend" by the time you finish your project, that particularly trend is on the way out.
Not to mention, if you ask me the question, "What are you looking for?" I can ramble on about something I'd love to see (such as a completely charming, witty, and fun historical romance a la Julia Quinn) but what I offered rep for just this week would never have landed on my "This is what I'm looking for" list.
I'm constantly taken by surprise by what I fall in love with.
After being here at RT, certainly I can tell you that editors are weary of paranormal romance. That everyone is talking about erotica because of 50 Shades (by the way, I don't rep erotica so please don't query me for that.)
That "hook-y" women's fiction novels (i.e. hooks like a knitting club or cupcake club) are still on editors' wish lists (which by the way, are topics that don't ring my bell much).
I can tell you that a lot of the romance editors also rep YA and they might be moved to violence if just one more YA paranormal romance lands in their submission inbox.
I can tell you all these things and then I can also tell you that the minute the "right" project lands in that same inbox--even if it contains any of the above--but it blows them away, they'll offer for it.
So I can't tell you what I'm looking for as an agent. I can only say that I'm going to know it when I see it and this: I haven't taken on a romance author in over the year. I'm opening my universe up to that possibility as I'd love to read an awesome romance right now.
I've been in my "dark" phase for the last 7 months by taking on dark and gritty SF.

I have never seen this shop before, in one word WOW! I am a big fan of precuts... now do not ask me what I do with them. Outside of a few used for applique I collect to use someday. I sew with yardage and someday will use the precuts. Oh, I take it back, I did make a patchwork jumper for a little girl out of a charm pack.
In this shop I found the Bella and liked the yardage as well as the precuts.
Thanks for introducing me to a new place to drool over!
Thanks for the chance to win and pointing me in the direction of another great shop! I like the Kaffe Fassett paperweight bundle.
I am looking forward to trying the hexagon shaped fabric!

Goodpasture syndrome is a rare disease that can involve quickly worsening kidney failure and lung disease.
Some forms of the disease involve just the lung or the kidney, but not both.
Anti-glomerular basement membrane antibody disease; Rapidly progressive glomerulonephritis with pulmonary hemorrhage; Pulmonary renal syndrome; Glomerulonephritis - pulmonary hemorrhage
Goodpasture syndrome is an autoimmune disorder . It occurs when the immune system mistakenly attacks and destroys healthy body tissue. Persons with this syndrome develop substances that attack a protein called collagen in the tiny air sacs in the lungs and the filtering units (glomeruli) of the kidneys.
These substances are called anti-glomerular basement membrane antibodies. The glomerular basement membrane is a part of the kidneys that helps filter waste and extra fluid from the blood. Anti-glomerular basement membrane antibodies are antibodies against this membrane. They can damage the basement membrane, which can lead to kidney damage.
Sometimes this disorder is triggered by a viral respiratory infection or by breathing in hydrocarbon solvents. In such cases, the immune system may attack organs or tissues because it mistakes them for these viruses or foreign chemicals.
The immune system's faulty response causes bleeding in the air sacs of the lungs and inflammation in the kidney's filtering units.
Men are eight times more likely to be affected than women. The disease most commonly occurs in early adulthood.
Symptoms may occur very slowly over months or even years, but they often develop very quickly over days to weeks.
Loss of appetite, fatigue, and weakness are common early symptoms.
Lung symptoms may include:
Kidney and other symptoms include:
A physical examination may reveal signs of high blood pressure and fluid overload. The health care provider may hear abnormal heart and lung sounds when listening to the chest with a stethoscope.
Urinalysis results are usually abnormal, and show blood and protein in the urine. Abnormal red blood cells may be seen.
The following tests may also be done:
The main goal is to remove the harmful antibodies from the blood. A treatment called plasmapheresis removes whole blood from the body and replaces the plasma with fluid, protein, or donated plasma. Removing harmful antibodies may reduce inflammation in the kidneys and lungs.
Corticosteroid medications (such as prednisone) and other drugs that suppress or quiet the immune system may be used.
Controlling blood pressure is the most important way to delay kidney damage. You may get medicines to control high blood pressure, such as angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors and angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs).
You may be told to limit salt and fluids to control swelling. A low to moderate protein diet may be recommended in some cases.
You should be closely watched for signs of kidney failure. If kidney failure becomes severe, you may need dialysis .
If you permanently lose kidney function, you may need a kidney transplant. A transplant is not done until the level of harmful antibodies drops.
An early diagnosis is very important. The outlook is much worse if the kidneys are already severely damaged when treatment begins. Lung damage can range from mild to severe.
Many patients will need dialysis or a kidney transplant.
Call for an appointment with your health care provider if you are producing less urine, or you have any other symptoms of Goodpasture syndrome.
Never sniff glue or siphon gasoline with your mouth, which expose the lungs to hydrocarbon solvents and can cause the disease.

A glucagon test measures the amount of a hormone called glucagon in your blood. Glucagon is produced by cells in the pancreas. It helps control blood sugar levels.
Blood is typically drawn from a vein, usually from the inside of the elbow or the back of the hand.
In infants or young children, a sharp tool called a lancet may be used to puncture the skin to draw blood. The blood collects into a small glass tube called a pipette, or onto a slide or test strip. A bandage may be placed over the area if there is any bleeding.
The blood is sent to a laboratory. There, a test called radioimmunoassay (RIA) is used to check for the hormone glucagon in the blood.
Your health care provider will tell you if you need to fast (not eat anything) for a period of time before the test.
When the needle is inserted to draw blood, some people feel moderate pain. Others feel only a prick or stinging sensation. Afterward, there may be some throbbing.
Glucagon stimulates the liver to release glucose. As the level of blood sugar decreases, the pancreas releases more glucagon, and vice versa.
The health care provider may measure glucagon level if a person has symptoms of:
The normal range is 50 - 100 pg/mL.
Note: pg/mL = picograms per milliliter
Normal value ranges may vary slightly among different laboratories. Talk to your doctor about the meaning of your specific test results.
The examples above show the common measurements for results for these tests. Some laboratories use different measurements or may test different specimens.
Abnormal results may indicate that the person may have a condition described above under Why the Test Is Performed.
Veins vary in size from one patient to another and from one side of the body to the other. Obtaining a blood sample from some people may be more difficult than from others.
Other risks associated with having blood drawn are slight but may include:

Do you think the dusty colors will come back?
39 comments:
Trust me, there are still plenty of things that should not be avocado green - like the toilet and sink in my guest bathroom!!! ;)
I think you could make the dusty colors of your blocks work, in a brand-new-yet-vintage quilt - if the kids are buying their jeans torn-but-new, who says you can't sell a quilt that's vintage-but-finished-yesterday? :)YES~ they will come back. Home decor and color changes just like fashion. It always repeats itself...but usually with a bit of a twist to make it just a bit different.
I have some of those very fabrics! Wow!
So I'd say that you could just finish up those squares into something lovely and then when they DO come back into vogue, you're way ahead of the game!I seriously hope not! I have left yards and yards of cheap 80's fabric at the local thrift store. That dusty blue and mauve along with all the farm animal decor was big when I was growing up but I don't think I could stomach it a second time around.
I learned my lesson with the raqua trend...just because it is super cute and everybody is doing it doesn't mean I should. I don't know that your old blocks can be salvaged, but if ANYONE can, you can.I love today's new colors and fabric collections!!
However, I still have many of the fabrics I see in your "old squares" in my stash :) I think their muted colors are pretty, soft, and have a dreamy country cottage look. I think they are coming back as I'm seeing hints of them at some of the online fabric stores. I'm thinking of cutting my old softly muted fabrics into strips and squares, some QAYG blocks and a couple quilts with them.
BTW Like many, I never really cared for avocado green, mustard yellow, or burnt orange.I think anything goes. There have been several designers at my quilt guild meetings this year showing scrap quilts. One designer goes to thrift stores and buys used clothing to cut up for quilts and she has several books published. Use what you like. No one has to follow the crowd. Those are the people who usually make the new trends.
ReplyDeleteI am not a trend setter and barely am awake enough to be a trend watcher but I did notice at Gap that the dusty colors are coming back!! You remember those shorter, pastel plaid, preppy boys shorts? That's right, they're there... I'm not a fan of those but I am a fan of the colors and use of colors you posted! That floral arrangement is beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI totally love how things come around again! The other day I was out with my husband (who's only known me since 2004) and I asked if he wanted to see what I looked like in the '80s. I pointed out a young gal walking by in an outfit EXACTLY like one I had then. Her hair was even styled the same way. Unbelievable.
ReplyDeleteThe feel of those old blocks kind of reminds me of Fig Tree fabrics.
My friend D had her room redecorated in the most awesome peach and sage green, in the late 80s. I was so jealous.
I think the muted colors will come back, but I can't really imagine it. Just like I couldn't imagine wide jeans coming back in style during the late 80s. Or skinny ones coming back... in the last 10 years.1. You MUST keep the squares.
2. I saw use them. Now. Who cares what is "in". Maybe frame each square with a bold fabric (http://www.sisboom.com/nggallery/page-28/album-2/gallery-18/) and then have them run across the bottom of a solid color fabric front or back of the quilt. Just an idea but what ever you do, LOVE them! THey are fab!Hehe - uh, no - I will never miss the avocado greens and oranges of the 70s! I will be blissfully "unique" if those colors go dominant again in decor.
But - I'm wondering *why* the colors have to be in style for you to make a quilt out of your blocks?
How totally cool to make a memory quilt for yourself out of them! Throw them together with some Kona solids in today's fun free-style and enjoy a great blast from the past whenever you pull it out and use it!"Fresh Picked" is the color scheme in our soon-to-be finished addition. I went with a light peach for the wall color, with blue and white accents. Granted, I did it more out of necessity than choice. We "inherited" a couch from my folks (Ethan Allen circa 1989) and I was unwilling to divert funds to recover it. {grin} That said, I love the peach! I have big, bold colors on the main floor of our house (like, a candy apple red kitchen!) and for some reason went with pastels on the lower level. Love, love, love --- it's warm and calming all at the same time. I grin everything I go down the stairs!
ReplyDeleteYou are going to be so ready when those colors come back in style! I remember when wide-leg pants came back in style and I swore I'd never wear bell-bottoms, but I did! What about the 'pegged' pants that we wore rolled up and often pinned? I just bought some like that this week? Sometimes the style looks a little weird to me at first, but then I love it! I'm sure I'll feel the same way about these dusty pastels!
ReplyDeleteGreetings from Tunisia! Just stopped by to enjoy your blog while surfing the net and trying to beat the heat. Your thoughts on changing color styles is provocative--I must be out of it because I still like the "dusty" colors! Great quilt projects and good commentary! Thanks for sharing.
best, nadiaI only have about 6 finished blocks so I'm not really looking for anything to do with them. I'm just saving them for the day when my girls think they are "vintage-cool". lol.
For now they just remind me of hanging out with my best friend Allison in her room that was these colors, listening to the Police Greatest Hits, talking about boys and comparing notes on hairspray for our bangs.My mom laughed at me when the 70's colors started coming back and I fell head over heels for them. But now they've grown on her, too...so I'm getting the last laugh. I almost bought a couch at an auction a couple years ago that was GREEN. Not avacado green, but definitely VERY green. And I"m with you - one of my favorite chairs is a goldenrod chair from the 70's. LOVE it.
