I planted a peach and a plum tree 2 years ago, the grafted part died on both of them. The rootstock on both of them are growing great, bearing fruit. I want to try my hand at grafting some cuttings on to them, I have other plums, cherries, and peaches that I can take cuttings from.
I have read the basics on doing the graft and I think I can do it. I have been searching for supplies and they seem pretty expensive. $60 for a starter kit! Where is the best (money wise) place to buy? Also, I have a lot of hickory seedlings growing wild. Can I graft pecans on to those seedlings? |
Follow-Up Postings:
I like these people: midwestvineyardsupply.com I don't think you need to spend much at all. I use my pocket knife or a utility knife. I like to use Parafilm, so I buy that, but it lasts forever and isn't expensive. Some people buy a roll of poly tape (not adhesive) and some just cut up bread bags. I use the rubber bands designed for grafting (they're soft, wide, very stretchy, and dusted with talc) so I buy those, but a box of Staple's widest will work fine and set you back a buck. I can't speak to the hickory issue except to say I've heard pecans are a tough nut to crack, grafting-wise, and that hickories are wild pecans or pecans are domestic hickories, so I'd try it. Doesn't mean it's a good idea- I've done lots of dumb things. Do study Joe Real's bark grafting tutorial if you haven't already. Good luck, Mark |
wertach, I do enough grafting that I bought a decent grafting/budding knife, and have been using the same one for 15 years - and anticipate many more decades' of use out of it(see link below). Beyond that, about all you really need are some rubber bands, some masking tape. Parafilm is nice, and I prefer it for sealing graft unions and wrapping the bud or scion to prevent dessication; Doc Farwell's graft sealant(mostly just a good quality latex paint)works OK, and I have one friend who just uses Elmer's Exterior Wood Glue as a graft sealant. Yes, you can graft pecan onto hickory - but we usually do it the other way around, grafting hickory onto pecan. Biggest concern I have with putting pecan on hickory is that, typically, pecan is a more vigorous grower than hickory, and the pecan may outgrow/overgrow the slower/smaller-diameter hickory understock, and be inclined to break at the graft union at some point years down the road - but that may be an unfounded fear. |

With pomefruits, grafting/budding success - even for a rank novice - should be in excess of 85% - they're very forgiving. Stonefruits - I've not done much with them, but my experience has been that they're not much tougher to get good results with. Nut trees, as Mark indicated, are a bit different. The majority of pecan/hickory/walnut grafts I do are with dormant-collected scionwood. I do a modified bark graft - similar to the one Joe demonstrates in his tutorial, but instead of fully decapitating the rootstock, I cut only about 3/4 of the way through the stock, breaking the top over, and leaving it still attached, to act as a 'sap-drawer' or 'pressure relief valve' to minimize excessive bleeding and flooding of the graft. With larger-diameter scions, I will do a 3- or 4-flap 'banana' graft - plenty of websites detailing how to do it, if you look for them. Success rates(for my nut grafts) are still less than 50%, and I've had even poorer successes trying to do greenwood budding at this time of year, but you really need to have your nut rootstocks well-watered(or plenty of natural soil moisture), and I just can't accomplish that easily. |

I have a Question on Parafilm, I have heard so many say they like it I purchased some in the 1 inch by 30 yard rolls. I grafted Asian pears and kaki persimmons with it successfully this year, but I have heard how it stretches and that it easily seals upon it self with pressure. I could get hardly any stretch prior to its break point, and never could get a good seal on itself by applying pressure, and I really thought I had pretty good hand strength. I had decided that maybe the temperature was a little cold for the product on both the stretch and seal and after I could not seem to make progress hand warming, I made the regrettable mistake of taking a section from the roll and heating it briefly in the microwave, and a few seconds with no improvement I increased the time a bit and out this point frustrated I impatiently reached in and grabbed it just as the heat cycle ended and seemed go from a solid to a semi-liquid melted state. Yeah Youch what an idiot, why didn't I just reach into a boiling pot of wax. Back to subject however, leaving that painful memory are there different types of Parafilm, as it just seems what "Joe Real" is working with in watching his tutorial multiple times and what I have read others comment, I must be missing some basic point. Does the stuff get old, I would think not, but I really don't seem to be the same stuff. And the grafts I did the material has not seemed to decompose or breakdown at all. The rubberbands supporting for strength fell away long ago. |
IMHO parafilm is not strong enough for budding/grafting. I use it to wrap the scion and stump so they don't dry out. You will have much better luck with vinyl grafting tape which is very cheap. The link has the best price I've seen for a single roll of vinyl tape I've found. You can get a grafting knife for $12.20 delivered from the same site. I personally like thin bladed fixed blade budding knives but a folding one should be OK. If you want to see some practical advice on budding/grafting goodle MrTexas Citrus. |

strudeldog, parafilm stretches like clear plastic in baggies. Parafilm looks and feels like a thicker gage clear plastic. I use 1 inch x 90 ft rolls from Orchard valley Supply. 6 1" rolls $19.40. They also sell Nufilm-17 sticker. |
Well, I hope somebody sorts this out for us. To me Parafilm is much waxier, stickier than polyethelene tape. It's true that it doesn't always stick as you wrap it, but give it a little time in the sun and it will. I also like that as a rule I don't have to go back and remove parafilm; it degrades eventually, although not as quickly as the rubber bands do, and even if it doesn't degrade quickly it can't girdle- just not strong enough. Curiously, I think I am guilty of girdling a couple of grafts with the rubbers: I'm just too dern thorough at snugging everything together. So I put on a carefully overlapped, very snug rubber and then protect it with a thickish layer of parafilm ... I suspect I've choked off at least two of my apple grafts. I think I've ruined- i.e. girdled- a couple of grafts by wrapping them too tightly, and I think that grafters who are more skilled than I get their parts aligned more precisely than I do and don't have to worry about applying tension to force things into line. "Practice, practice, practice ..." :-)M |

mrtexas, the vinyl grafting tape in the link you provided has its description reading exactly like parafilm and the photo looks a lot like parafilm. Have you tried parafilm and you think this one is better? |
Parafilm is waxy and weak. You can't wrap it nearly as tight as vinyl grafting tape. Vinyl is a lot cheaper as well. You could use parafilm and wrap it with grafting rubber bands but why not use vinyl tape and skip a step? I've done thousands of buds/grafts with vinyl tape, never with parafilm. |

I am a parafilm grafter. I agree that it is not optimal for strength, but it compensates by how just one kind of tape does it all by making a great seal. Over the years I have learned where the break point is and I stretch just to it. I also put quite a few wraps around to give a nice tight seal. Scott |

The Parafilm I purchased was boxed as 6 90 foot rolls as well. I just tried a stretch test with a 5 inch piece I slow streched and broke at just over 5.5 inch. Is that amount of stretch sound in line with what would be expected. Normally I would be working with a larger piece and I was just expecting more than 10% stretch before break. And I can't get it to stick to itself to seal the wrap to matter how hard I press. How to you get it to stick??? I wasn't expecting it to be strong enough to support the graft without the support of the rubber bands I wrap over the Parafilm. I probably have a lifetime supply for my use in what I purchased, so I was trying to learn to use it. To add input to the orignal poster's question. I just use a box cutting knife with a replaceable standard razor blade. Putting a good edge on a knife is a skill as well as the grafting itself. If I honed a better edge I probably would invest in one. another thing easily obtainable besides rubber bands and plastic bags is a toliet bowel wax ring, which available at home improvement store and cost less than 2 dollars. Use it just as you would grafting wax. |
I work in a laboratory setting, and just buy a 2"x250' roll of Parafilm M from the lab every couple of years. I cut it into 6" pieces, then split those into 3 strips ~2/3" wide x 6" long, and keep a bag of Parafilm strips in my grafting kit. Stretch just to the breaking point, and it sticks to itself just fine; at least, it does for me. I just now stretched and measured - a 6"x2/3" strip will stretch to about 20" in length. I use the Parafilm to seal the graft - and wrap the entire union and scion - up to the top, and back down again - to keep it from dessicating. But, then I overwrap the graft union with a rubber band - or, for apples/pears/persimmons, I often just wrap with masking tape - that seems to be enough. On nut tree grafts, I'll wrap with Parafilm, overwrap the union with a rubber band, and usually cover the rubber band with a layer of masking tape, just to protect it from UV degradation a little longer, as the nut tree grafts usually take longer to callus in. You may be able to see the 'remains' of the Parafilm for several years after making the graft, but eventually, it disappears. Yes, Parafilm does 'get old' - several years ago, when we were cleaning out a storeroom, I came across several rolls of Parafilm - 1 ft wide x some length I've forgotten; these were probably 30 years old. As they were going to throw them out, I took them and tried it, but it's lost a lot of its strength and breaks really easily. I still have it, but will probably never use it. Bought a toilet bowl wax ring one time, but never got around to trying it - the Parafilm is just so handy - and less messy. A box-cutter knife will work OK, I guess, but you need a stiff heavy-duty blade in order to make a good straight cut - I tried to teach a group of Master Gardener candidates one time, and had told the Extension agent just to get a few boxcutters, but the flimsy economy blades that came on them would not make a straight, flat cut. Sharpening a grafting knife is really not all that hard - they're only beveled on one edge - but I do make my living wielding a knife, so I'm at an advantage in knowing how to sharpen a knife, and have the proper stones to do it correctly. I've made my own grafting knives - in a pinch, when I misplaced my 'main' one. Hacksaw blades are actually made of pretty good metal, and you can fashion a decent fixed-blade grafting knife out of a 6-8" piece of hacksaw blade by grinding the teeth off and making a one-bevel edge. |

strudeldog, I just stretched a 1" wide 5 inch piece to 15 inches in one pull. You may have a defect, If you e-mail me your address I'll put a couple feet in the mail to try. |
wertach, While I was out watering this morning, I was pondering the 'pecan on hickory' thing... might be worth you giving it a try - if your site is not ideal for pecans - they prefer a deep river-bottom type soil - but appears to be well-suited for hickories, it might be that you could topwork your hickory seedlings to pecan (or superior hickory varieties!) and get some useful nuts out of the deal. Really nothing to be lost other than some time and probably some frustration while you hone your grafting skills. You don't say where in z7 you are, but most of the good Southern pecan varieties should work well in that climate, but some of the better pecans for z6 & colder might also be worth a try. I'm a hickory affectionado, so I'd also recommend trying your hand at grafting some of the good shagbark & shellbark hickory varieties, as well - once you've figured out what to do. I was able to watch some accomplished grafters perform a few demonstrations - and that helped, but it's still just a matter of doing a bunch yourself in order to perfect your technique. |

Lucky- Is there any pecan that can handle -25F? Hazelnuts grow very well around here... I use a Victorinox grafting knife. The brand is highly recommended and i know their kitchen knives are usually top rated on America's Test Kitchen... |
- Posted by strudeldog 7 NW GA (My Page) on Wed, Jul 7, 10 at 13:39
Thanks for the feedback and comparative test folks. I was pretty convinced I had defective product, as the fact I got a 5% stretch to break and Lucky and Aceofspades both got at least a 200% stretch to break. And thanks for the offer of sending a sample Ace but I think I am going to contact Parafilm manufacture and show them this video I just placed out on YouTube so you folks and they can see what I was working with. Not trying to smear them or badmouth the product, but I think may be effective in showing them my defective product and someone else may be having the same issue. See the video below, I skipped the microwave heat it test, even though some of you might have enjoyed watching that. |

strudeldog, I've never used the Parafilm Grafting Tape - have seen photos of it, and thought that it looked different - thicker than the old standby Parafilm M that I've been acquainted with and have worked with for over 30 years. The manufacturer's description is that the Grafting Tape is a different formulation (higher olefin content?) - perhaps that's why it doesn't stretch as much as Parafilm M. The unstretched Parafilm - whether M or GT won't just stick to itself, the way you're trying in your video - it has to be stretched to 'activate' it; as you're wrapping around the stock or union, it seals to itself pretty nicely. I don't try to stretch the whole piece at once, but stretch it a little at a time, as I'm wrapping around and around, allowing it to adhere to itself as I work my way up the scion and back down again. Have a look at the linked video below - looks like they're using Parafilm M |

Strudel, your box and tape looks exactly like mine and I just grabbed a chunk of tape and it stretched to about double. So I'll second your verdict of defective. I am about out and recently ordered a new box and will give it the test right after I get it to make sure its good. Scott |
I use a product called Buddy tape which is available through A.M. Leonard. It looks somewhat like parafilm but it's stronger, stretches further and seals better making unnecessary any bands or other supports for the graft so they can be done quickly. It's pricey compared to some of the other options, but well worth it in time savings if you have more than just a few grafts to do. |
I have a friend who does thousands of grafts every year on established seedling rootstock(persimmon, pear, mulberry, pecan, apple, Che on Osage orange - on his hunting property. He wraps his grafts with fluorescent orange or pink plastic flagging tape, and seals the scion with Elmer's wood glue. |

Just an update, the manufacturer agreed that my Parafilm was defective and Customer Service was great and sent me out a new box which I received today and there is a great difference from my prior box. It does stretch and seal. It seems now Parafilm is now a division of Bemis Flexible Packaging. When I explained my issue to them they stated they did have problems with the formulation in some of the product. |
- Posted by scottfsmith 6B/7A MD (My Page) on Wed, Jul 28, 10 at 15:45
Great. I got a new box a few weeks ago and it was also fine, so hopefully they have cleared the bad product out of the distribution channels. Scott |

I am novice when it comes to grafting. I am lucky. All my trees are self pollinating. Pears, Apricot, Figs, grapes. The Apple tree gets pollinated from my neighbor trees. But now I have a Mango tree and according to some lady Guru if you don't grafted the Mango its fruit will taste like turpentine. She is making a big deal about how difficult to graft a tree. May be she is trying some self-serving because she sells Mango trees at 69 each. I could bought 2 or three I love Mango and it worth it. But I doubt that Mango will survive in my zone 7. So I planted two Mango trees from seeds just for fun. They are growing very healthy and I had to transplant them in larger pots. I am going to graft them for educational purposes. |

I use a regular utility knife (box cutter) to split bark, an old kitchen block knife to split cleft grafts, a hammer to push the kinife into the trunk and a flat head screwdriver to open the cleft. For wax I use a toilet wax sealer ring, and for wrapping and securing I use the green tape they sell at the nursery. Oh, to spread the wax I use a butter knife. |
very good information here. Thank you for sharing your priceless knowledge. Am a newbie on grafting. I live in Houston TX and I am getting ready to do my first graft. I am planning to graft bougainvillas. That way I wont compete with anyone. I need help on where to buy my materials in Houston- grafting knife, grafting tape, seal, wax, etc. What brand should I use? Any procedure on how to graft bougainvillas? Is it diff from grafting trees of the same size? |

Hotels at Pasir BogakHere is a selection of hotels at Pasir Bogak.
Coral Bay Resort (3 star)The Coral Bay Resort is one of the most popular hotels at the island for many years. It's conveniently located near the Pasir Bogak beach. There is a restaurant, swimming pool and karaoke available. Coral Bay Resort is almost always fully occupied, even at low season. So you are advised to book well in advance to avoid disappointment. Check here the details about Coral Bay Resort
Pangkor Sandy Beach Resort (recommended!!)Pangkor Sandy Beach Resort is an interesting and good option at Pasir Bogak. I have not stayed here so I can not comment from personal experience but I did check the rooms (chalets are the best, but the downstairs are great too). This is one of the good and cheap hotels at Pangkor especially if you realize you will stay almost at the beach! Comments from travelers I spoke who stayed here are that the rooms are spotless, staff friendly and the swimming pool very good. Here is more about the Sandy Beach Resort Puteri BayuThe Puteri Bayu is also located at Pasir Bogak. It's probably the best (and most expensive) place to stay. The resort have rooms and chalets. Although the Puteri Bayu has a restaurant, there are hawker stalls and restaurants in a range of 5 minutes walking. Here is more about the Puteri Bayu or...
Vikri Beach Resort (recommended!!)Pasir Bogak is one of the most popular beaches of Pulau Pangkor. Although there are plenty of hotels, few match the tranquility of the Vikri Beach Resort. The family owned hotel has chalets facing the Pasir Bogak beach. The restaurant (breakfast is included in the price) offers a good range of Chinese, Indian and Malay styled dishes. Trust me, the ladies make awesome meals. The Vikri is special as it is away from the other hotels at Pasir Bogak. You will have the beach right in front of you suggesting you have your own very private beach, despite the main road in between the hotel and the beach. Read more about the Vikri Beach Resort here.
More photos of the Vikri Beach Resort Pangkor Puteri ResortThe Pangkor Puteri Resort at Pasir Bogak has very nice apartments with 2 and 3 bedrooms available. Located in a side street of Pasir Bogak behind the Sea View hotel, this is especially good for families and groups who do not want to spend a whole lot of money. However, rooms can be individually booked so you share the living room and kitchen. The Pasir Bogak beach and the shops are a minute walk away. More about the Pangkor Puteri Resort here.
Sea ViewThe Sea View is one of the few hotels with an undisturbed sea view. I've stayed here twice. The chalets are spacious and clean. It's a popular hotel with 60 rooms, a restaurant and a swimming pool. Occasionally we use it for our team building activities as the hotel is a bit away but still within a minute walk from other places at Pasir Bogak. In the morning, the staff offers hornbill birds a free breakfast of fruits. Usually a dozen or so come to feast. Golden Beach HotelGolden Beach Hotel at Pasir Bogak, conveniently located near the beach is not a bad deal. The hotel has a decent restaurant though the rooms could use some maintenance. If you don't mind this, it's a not a bad choice. For the price it's does fit in the category of cheap hotels Pangkor but there are better choices at Pasir Bogak. Pangkor Village Beach ResortThe Pangkor Village Beach Resort is located at the very end of Pasir Bogak. It's a great place for different reasons. One of them is because it is a bit away from the crowds. The atmosphere at the resort is great too. Location wise you can not find many other places like this one. The hotel is especially great for groups on very tight budget. So if you are thinking about a beach resort for your reunion of your school class, a few days with your students to a beach or simply a few days with a few families, this is your place.

Loc: New York State An editor at a scholarly journal had a question about a review I wrote for them. She quoted the phrase, "However, pace Hall and Ames ...." and asked me to "clarify" the word "pace"!! I tried to think of a charitable interpretation of her question, but all I can think is that the editor was unfamiliar with this word.
Civilization is dead!

Loc: Chicagoland Hi again Bryan,
You also sent me scrambling for the dictionary with this sense of pace. Believe it or not, there are some educated folks out there that dont share your prodigious vocabulary. Cut us some slack. I was always instructed to write with my audience in mind. If you dont, please dont hold it against us if we dont catch your drift. Personally, I love reading material that challenges me with a barrage of sesquipedalians and erudite locutions, but not everyone shares my passion for arcane or exotic verbiage. And many would say with a sigh of relief, thank heaven for that!

Perhaps you could have helped your reader/editor by ensuring that 'pace' was in italics - the convention for non-English words being used in English. That would, at least, have alerted her to the notion that you were not using the common or garden English word spelled the same way. My dictionary (Concise Oxford) suggests the italicised form.

On staff since February 2001
Children's Title: Member Extracorporeal Life Support Steering Committee, Co-Medical Director Seattle Children's ICU Transport Team
Academic Title: Clinical Associate Professor of Pediatrics
Research Center: Center for Developmental Therapeutics
Dr. Smith's focus in research historically has been in lung injury prevention in the preterm and term neonate. She has studied ventilator techniques and different ventilation support modalities and currently is working clinically on strategies to minimize lung trauma in infants requiring ventilation due to respiratory failure at birth in very sick preterm and term infants and particularly in infants with congenital diaphragmatic hernia.
Because of this interest she serves as the Manager of Divisional Respiratory Care Programs with the goal of promoting improved ventilation strategies for neonates requiring ventilatory support in our region. Dr. Smith also is involved in the extracorporeal life support (ECLS) program for neonates and serves on the ECLS Steering Committee, which focuses on improving techniques to maximally support newborn infants with severe respiratory failure not responsive to conventional ventilatory therapies. Dr. Smith is co-Medical Director of the Children's Ground Transport Team and serves as an advisor for Airlift Northwest's neonatal transports.

After smoking the Pasha, I was eager to see what the El Diario brings to the table. The favours are not as complex as the Pasha but provides the smoker an easy to enjoy a very uniform experience, without many changes in flavour. The flavours that are present in the El Diario Torpedo are pronounced enough to keep even a seasoned aficionado pleased. While I prefer the Pasha to the El Diario Torpedo .

I'm in New York City this week, tending to work here on the East Coast. It's good to be here in spite of the weather, partially because people understand me when I use the shorthand I've had for my entire adult life.
For example, when I go into a coffee shop I can ask that they make it light and sweet. Anyone behind the counter knows exactly how I want my coffee – regular milk, three spoonfuls of sugar. I'm in and out fast, which is how I like it.
Walk into my neighborhood coffee shop in Los Angeles, however, and it's a different story. I need to give my order in a different way to ensure that I don't wind up with half-and-half and four Splendas.
The shortcuts are different from place to place.
So, too, when I'm at work. I can tell a colleague I've got a 341 meeting coming up in the Eastern District and they know where I'm going and what it entails.
We've all got those verbal shortcuts, borne of experience and expediency. No matter what field you're in, they exist.
When we talk in those shortcuts with one another, we silently acknowledge that we're in the same club. A club of bankruptcy lawyers, or plumbers, or accountants. Whatever club you're in, the shortcuts are like secret handshakes.
Our clients, however, don't have those secret handshakes. They're the uninitiated, new to the club and unaware of the terminology.
We forget that from time to time, don't we? We assume they all know that a Chapter 7 meeting of creditors is a lawyer's chance to catch up on email and catch up with colleagues, not some monumental occasion that calls for sweaty palms and sleepless nights.
But it isn't so.
Next time you're sitting with a client, remember that he or she doesn't have the shortcuts yet. Speak clearly, plainly and without jargon. They'll be happier, better informed, and more likely to follow your lead as you go through the lawyer-client relationship.

Have you stayed there?
Can you give me your thoughts?
What about this Murphy bed - how big is it?
It says that it can sleep 6....is that 6 dwarves?
I stayed at Ft Wildreness in 1996. The murphy bed is a double bed, comfortable from what I recall, my hubby and I slept on it.....in the bedroom is a double bed and a bunk bed....no dwarfs required, although kids may be more comfortable on bunk bed then adults, regular twin size beds
I absolutely LOVE Fort Wilderness Cabins
My Review
The bed is definately decently sized. There is a bunk bed as well and usually a bed that pulls out of the wall. It's got all of your in-home ammenities such as a kitchen, sink, bathroom, television, dining table, etc. They're great.
Also, you get all the great benefits of being at Fort Wilderness! You have bike trails to go on, the Hoop-Dee-Doo Review and Mickey's Backyard BBQ, The Mini Grocery Stores which I find absolutely adorable and a great little spot for the kids.
I also highly suggest getting a golf cart. They provide really easy access to the places across Fort Wilderness such as bus stops, the marina, check-in/out, etc.
However, you might need to do a little bit of squeezing. It fits 5 comfortably. I'm not sure about 6 though. I've never really tried. They seem spacious enough.
Another neato little thing about Fort Wilderness is that I (personally) love to wake up in the early morning and go exploring the forest. You will be very surprised to what you find there. You can find armadillos, the lawn mower tree, and nice woodland animals. And of course the not so nice wasps however.
So I highly suggest the Fort Wilderness Cabins if you have a large group.
FW is of course my families favorite place to stay. You get to feel like you are far from the crowds and noise of the parks, but you're not. The cabins are the best of both a hotel and a campground. You will get daily mousekeeping(they even do the dishes), can park 1 car right at your site, your cabin has a large deck with a picinic table and a grill(they will even clean up the grill). The deck is a great place for coffee in the A.M. or to relax in the P.M. Inside the cabin has 2 double beds(1 is the murphy) and a set of bunks, 2 TV's, a fully equiped kitchen including dishes and silverware/cookware. The one dowside some people find is only one bath, but most families can work that out. My vote of course would be the cabin, but I have been staying at FW since before I can remember, my parents say since it first opened in 1971.
In my opinion - FWR is the only place to stay. I just returned my my 11th stay at WDW (7 at FWR). Yes the cabins sleep 6, we've even done it with all 6 being adults - I don't recomment it (I was the one who slept on the couch), but its possible.
After you've stayed there, you know what to expect and what you'll need. If you have wheels, Goodings is that expensive for groceries. There is also a Publix (cheaper) down 535 a little further. Once you learn the back road, getting in & out is simple.
Where are the trees? We love the escape from hustle-bustle in the evening. And there still is some privacy at night, but breakfast on the deck is very public. My son has sent my photos to Lou, maybe he can get us an answer. But its still THE BEST PLACE TO STAY!!
The cabins are gorgeous! :) The murphy bed is a double bed. There is plenty of room for everyone! Enjoy!

I have been a member of the Hosta Forum for years, but this is my first post to the Quilting Forum.
I started a quilting project about 4 years ago, but I soon found that my old machine wasn't up to the challenge. I spent more time dealing with the machine than I did sewing, so I put the project aside. A couple of months ago I visited an avid quilter and was re-inspired. This time the first thing I did was buy a new machine, and wow, what a difference. These are photos of my first project which I just finished. I plan to fill in the spaces next to the tree trunks with a meandering stitch as soon as I take the machine quilting class I'm signed up for and do some practicing. I'm just finishing a small wall hanging for my office/sewing room, and I just purchased fabric for a baby quilt. My son and his wife are "working" on a baby, so I figured I'd better get working on a quilt. I need to get rid of this full time job so I can spend more time quilting, but winter's coming and the hosta are dying down, so I should have more time. I've already gotten so much information from the forum. I hope in the future I can be a contributor too. |

Welcome! I started out at a different GardenWeb spot too I came to this forum a few years ago, after many years on the Florida Gardening forum. Your tree skirt is beautiful! Excellent job! Which machine did you get? It was obviously a good choice for you. Kate |

Welcome aboard the quilting board! We're glad you found us! Your first project turned out GREAT! I really find the pattern and colors appealing! Please continue to share with us about the start of your journey into quilting, and we're here to offer suggestions & help whenever you might need it! |
That's an impressive project for a first effort. Congratulations and welcome to the forum. |
Thank you for the warm welcome. The skirt is from a book called Mostly Christmas by Calico Printworks, Racine, WI, telephone 262-632-4224. I saw the quilt made up in a quilt shop. There's no paper piecing involved. The machine I got is a Janome Memory Craft 6600. I really love it. It has a 9" throat (I think that's what you call the distance between the needle and the body of the machine), so it's easier to work on larger pieces. And all the stitches - it'll take me years to explore them all. I took an applique class, and I'm signed up for a paper piecing class and the machine quilting class. My dream is to someday do a quilt where you take a landscape photo and turn it into a quilt. That's a way into the future though. I'm really excited about this baby quilt I'm just starting. It's a Bunny Hill Designs pattern with sailboats on it. I'm an avid sailboat racer so I hope this little grandchild-to-be takes an interest too. The main color is aqua-green, good for either a boy or girl. Well I'd better get started. The fabric just came out of the dryer. Thank you again for making me feel at home. |
Don't know how I missed this thread, sorry for the late welcome, but I am glad you are here. Love the tree skirt and hope to see more from you soon. beverly |

Biblical Facts About AngelsAmong the most common questions governing such are the age old questions like What are angels? How and why were they created? What do angels do? Since time immemorial, man always held a strong and devoted fascination for angels and similar spiritual beings. For centuries, many popular and renowned artists have tried to immortalize the image of angels on canvas and murals. But it would come as a surprise to many once they get to realize that the Bible describes angels invoking a much more different description of angles as with how they are typically and artistically rendered or presented, like cute and cuddly babies with wings and draped in white cloth. Here are some common Biblical facts about angels. One may not be aware, but the Bible has made 273 references to angels and although we do not aim to get to each and every one of those descriptions and references, we hope to show some examples that provide proof of angels in the Bible. The first reference can be found in the first book of the Bible, where everything else started – the Book of Genesis. In the second chapter of Genesis, it mentions 'Thus the heavens and the earth, and all the host of them, were finished' to which the term 'host' refers to the description of God's spiritual messengers commonly known as angels. This is also cross – referenced in the first chapter of the new testament book of Colossians where it says 'For by him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things were created by him and for him.' The Bible also provided reference to the fact that angels were created to live for eternity, as stated in Luke 20:36 .. nor can they die anymore, for they are equal to the angels and are sons of God, being sons of the resurrection. One proof that angels were present when God created the world can be found in Job 38:1-7 where it says that "Then the LORD answered Job out of the storm. He said: '...Where were you when I laid the earth's foundation? ...while the morning stars sang together and all the angels shouted for joy?" It is also a fact that angels cannot marry or be bethroted to someone as stated in Matthew 22:30 where it says that 'At the resurrection people will neither marry nor be given in marriage; they will be like the angels in heaven.' Angels are also wise and intelligent, as the Old Testament book of 2nd Samuel 14:17 that says "Your maidservant said, 'The word of my lord the king will now be comforting; for as the angel of God, so is my lord the king in discerning good and evil. And may the LORD your God be with you." Also in Daniel 9:21-22 while I was still in prayer, Gabriel, the man I had seen in the earlier vision, came to me in swift flight about the time of the evening sacrifice. He instructed me and said to me, "Daniel, I have now come to give you insight and understanding." These are just some of the Biblical facts about angels and there are even more similar entries you may find in the Bible, so go ahead read and discover. |

Thursday, April 27, 2006 - Page updated at 12:00 AM Memories of mining community run deepSeattle Times staff reporter ROSLYN, Kittitas County — Johnny Ferro was a hauler. For 33 years, he hauled wood, rails and wire into the coal mines that snake through the hills of Roslyn. Although the mines have been closed for 40 years, Ferro still remembers the day he learned he would lose his job, that the mines were closing. "It was sad and a big shock," said Ferro, 87, who still lives in Roslyn. "When you work that long and you're up in age, who's going to want you?" Stories abound of the miners who lived, and died, pulling coal from shafts deep in the hillside. At one time in the early 1900s, the town grew to 4,000 people, representing 26 nationalities. The town's cemetery has as many ethnic sections. Roslyn was incorporated in 1889. Nowhere is the memory more noticeable than in a corner of downtown Roslyn where townsfolk built a memorial to the miners a decade ago. To buy the book Surrounding a 6-foot-3-inch bronze statue of a miner are hundreds of tiles bearing the names of 1,200 of those who worked in the mines. But the tiles are falling off, victims of cold weather that loosened the glue that held them in place. The Roslyn-Ronald-Cle Elum Heritage Club is trying to raise money to replace the wall with a permanent memorial, a solid granite one with the names inscribed. "It's a matter of pride," said Marcy Bogachus, secretary-treasurer of the club who is helping to lead the fundraising effort. "We want to remember the coal miners, remember their heritage. We would never let it go. As long as there's people who were born and raised here, we will always take care of it." It's estimated the new wall could cost as much as $100,000. Already the club has raised $36,500 through money appropriated this year by the state Legislature and another $20,000 through donations, including the sale of a new 220-page book, "From Old Country to Coal Country." It contains stories of many of the families that made Roslyn their home. Northern Pacific Railroad began developing the Roslyn mines in 1886, three years after the coal was discovered. Workers were recruited from throughout Europe. In 1892, an explosion in one of the mine shafts killed 45 miners. Another explosion in 1909 killed 10. By 1901, more than 1 million tons of coal were coming out of the Roslyn mines each year. The amount of coal in the mines began to decline in the early 1920s and the last mine closed in 1963. But the town has never forgotten its heritage. Each Labor Day, the town crowns a King Coal, one of the old miners. Ferro was the first. For Bogachus, historians need to protect the history of Roslyn. "When everyone first moved here, they were like family," she said. "They knew each other, they helped each other. We need to preserve our history." The dedication in the book reads: "We want to honor the people who left their homelands, traveling to places unknown and making their place in our history and in our hearts."

Document Type Master's Dissertation Author Swanepoel, Amanda URN etd-08042008-085003 Document Title Transcriptional analysis and mutagenesis of the htp fimbrial gene cluster from Pseudomonas aeruginosa PAO1 Degree MSc Department Microbiology and Plant Pathology Supervisor
Advisor Name Title Prof J Theron Supervisor Keywords
- biofilm-forming organisms
- Pseudomonas aeruginosa
Date 2006-09-07 Availability unrestricted Abstract Pseudomonas aeruginosa, a ubiquitous environmental bacterium and an opportunistic human pathogen, is one of the most and best studied biofilm-forming organisms and has emerged as a model organism in the study of surface- and biofilm-induced gene expression. P. aeruginosa forms biofilms through a series of interactions between the cells and adherence to surfaces, which is mediated by surface appendages such as flagella and type IV pili. A gene cluster, designated htpABCDEFGI, which appears to encode protein products with homology to those encoded by recently described novel pilus biogenesis and assembly systems, has been identified in P. aeruginosa PAO1. Since the pili produced by these systems, designated Flp, are associated with the ability of the bacteria to bind non-specifically to inert surfaces, the aims of this study were to characterize the transcriptional organization of the putative P. aeruginosa PAO1 htp gene cluster and to determine the functional importance of the htp gene cluster in the ability of P. Aeruginosa PAO1 to adhere to surfaces.In silico evidence has suggested that the pilin subunit gene flp is not part of the P. Aeruginosa htp gene cluster thought to encode proteins involved in the synthesis, assembly and export of these pili. To determine the transcriptional organization of this gene cluster, total RNA from P. aeruginosa PAO1 was analyzed by reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RTPCR). Primers designed to amplify regions spanning gene junctions yielded amplicons at each individual gene junction from htpA to htpI, as well as an amplicon for flp. Moreover, corresponding sigma 70 (σ70) consensus sequences were identified in the intergenic region between the htpA and flp genes and promoter function of the flp and htpA upstream region was subsequently confirmed using lacZ reporter gene constructs transformed into P.aeruginosa PAO1. The results therefore indicated that the htp gene cluster is an operon transcribed as a polycistronic message, whilst the flp gene is transcribed independently as a monocistronic message.
To determine the functional importance of thehtp gene cluster in P. aeruginosa PAO1, the htpD gene, encoding a putative NTPase, was inactivated by in vivo homologous recombination with an appropriately constructed allelic exchange vector to generate the isogenic mutant strain PAOHtpD. Comparative analysis of the wild-type P. aeruginosa PAO1 and mutant PAOHtpD strain revealed that the mutant strain was impaired in its ability to attach to a glass wool substratum and also in its ability to grow as a biofilm. Since the mutant PAOHtpD strain was not growth-impaired, these results indicate that the htp gene cluster plays a role in P. aeruginosa PAO1 biofilm development under the culturing conditions used in this study. Thus, it can be proposed that the flp and htp gene cluster of P. aeruginosa PAO1 may play a role in its ability to successfully colonize abiotic surfaces.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. (AP) - The Massachusetts Institute of Technology police officer said to have been shot and killed by the Boston Marathon bombing suspects has been identified as 26-year-old Sean Collier.
The Middlesex district attorney's office says Collier was a Somerville resident who had worked at MIT since January 2012. Before that, he was a civilian employee of the Somerville Police Department.
MIT Police Chief John DiFava says Collier was a dedicated officer who was liked by his colleagues and the MIT community.
Collier was found shot several times in his vehicle in Cambridge at about 10:30 p.m. Thursday. He was pronounced dead at Massachusetts General Hospital.
Authorities say he was shot by the two suspects in Monday's marathon bombings.

Not 100% sure. I do recall seeing on the list of Disney platinum movies when they released the 2 disc set of Snow White in 2001. There is a website that lists future Disney DVD releases, which I forgot to boomark. I remember seeing Little Mermaid on there.
Thanks for the info, Madabella, and by the way, LOVE your avatar!!! I'll keep an eye out for the little mermaid info
Thanks Dissylove, I "borrowed" it from elsewhere.
Looks like TLM Platinum version is probable for October 2006.
That's the website I was referring to. Getting back to Cinderella, looks like Cinderella 3 is on the list. :no: I had hoped Cindy 3 was just an incorrect internet rumor.
I'm pretty positive that they'll come out with a 2-disc platinum edition of "The Little Mermaid" in Fall of '06. Why, you may ask. Well, since Snow White, they've been bringing out one princess movie every October. And after Cinderella this October (55th anniversary of Cinderella!), the only princess left is Ariel.
I hope cinderella 3 does not come out because I thought cinderella 2 was very bad. They made the movie too childesh forgetting disney deals with the family market.Quote:

I'd think it would be cool to have them all come out on DVD!! Can't get enough of Disney:minnie: :mickey:
It is almost time 4 me 2 go
:hurray: :hurray:
I am so excited. We are gonna have a portable DVD played in the Aiplane goin to O-town so I'll probably be Disney crazy beforeI get there:wave: :wall:
It would be great to see Ducktales and Darkwing Duck on DVD not forgetting Talespin.Quote:

Hanger Bearing Applications
Download PDF version |
CoorsTek Crewe, a leader in zirconia advanced ceramic manufacturing, now offers Conveyor Equipment Manufacturers Association (CEMA) standard dimension and tolerance Hanger Bearings.
These bearings are made from Technox® 2000 grade Y-TZP Zirconia. This formulation provides some of the toughest, strongest and longest lasting ceramics available. Technox 2000 can also be up to 40% stronger than Mg-PSZ material.
Technox 2000 is manufactured to give a very fine microstructure and minimal grain boundary phase to give extremely long life times (and be quiet in-service).
Zirconia ceramic bearings made from Technox 2000 material, provide:
- Major increase in bearing life
- Increase in life of journal and shaft, with a significant reduction in galling
- Potential noise reduction in many applications
- Option to use ceramic liner or replace only bottom bearing
- Manufactured to CEMA standards
CoorsTek Crewe produces the following components for use in screw conveyor hanger bearing systems:
- Traditional solid ceramic, CEMA standard dimension bearing halves
- Hybrid, metal carrier with a ceramic sleeve
- CEMA standard dimension bearing halves
- Sleeves for placement in hybrid bearings or replacement of stellite
Technox 2000 Bearings provide cost effective solutions in abrasive applications. Here are a couple examples:
Application 1: Glass Recycling Plant.
Screwing glass cullett at 50 rpm up a 25 degree incline causes severe wear of steel shaft and cast iron hanger bearing.
Problem: Replacement of bearings every 12 weeks, and shaft every 6-8 months
Solution: Technox 2000 bearings supplied with a recommendation to harden the shaft
Result: Bearings and shaft lasted 3 years with no maintenance over that period.
Application 2: Cement Plant.
Screw conveyor conveying cement clinker at 400 °C with no lubrication.
Problem: Severe failure of hard-iron metallic bearings, including galling and sticking of shaft
Solution: Technox 2000 bearings fitted with no change or surface treatment of shaft material.
Result: Six fold increase in bearing life over the previous combination with no remedial maintenance or problems with the shaft. A significant benefit to a cement plant operating an in-line process.

Fedora 13 beta goes live
"Goddard" takes flight
Today the Fedora Project announced the launch of Fedora 13 beta, codenamed Goddard, after the rocket scientist of the same name.
"Rather than spend our time inefficiently trying to depart from the collaborative model, we embrace it. That means that our distribution serves as a force to better integrate technology from upstream -- not hack around it," said Paul Frields, Fedora Project Leader.
With Goddard comes a number of updates and new features for end users and developers alike. For the first time in Fedora history it's possible to install a Python 3 stack in parallel to the current Python 2.6, allowing developers to better optimize and increase the compatibility of their work.
Another treat for developers is an improved GNU debugger that allows unified information for C/C++ libraries and Python, all in the same running process.
Sys admins can now roll back entire file system states thanks to improvements to the btrfs file system.
In addition to plenty of improvements for developers and sys admins, The new release includes some new features for end users. Zarafa replaces Exchange as the included email client and PackageKit, an entirely new application, detects a user's actions and offers to install software assistants.
These automated features help to make Fedora more accessible, something Frields and his team strive for with each release of the OS. "I'm very excited about the improvements we've made to how the hardware 'just works' in Fedora."
Included in the beta are open source drivers for most NVidia, ATI and Intel video cards, automatic print driver support, automatic codec installation, and automatic content syncing for music devices –– yes, even for the iPhone and iPod line. The Fedora 13 beta runs the Gnome 2.30 desktop as its default UI.
The beta, documentation, and wiki can be found here. Frields says the beta period will last through May 4 and recommends that people interested in the beta create a live USB key. Instructions on how to do that can be found here.
"The feedback we get from community testers is a vital part of open source development. We can't fix bugs we don't know about," he said.
Re: Errors
Thanks for catching the 2.3 typo, but Zarafa, which is being packaged with Fedora for the first time, is a drop-in replacement for Microsoft's Exchange Server messaging and groupware. http://press.redhat.com/201...ra-13-goddard-beta-blasts-off/
A clarification would help, but it's not an outright error.
How's this: Included for the first time in Fedora's history Zarafa. Zarafa can serve as a drop-in groupware replacement for Exchange and features the standard email, calendar and other collaboration tools we've come to expect from an email client. -
Few mistakes in article
Just some quick nots.
First, Zarafa is email server, competition to MS Exchange.
It cannot replace Exchange in Fedora as Exchange is proprietary windows-only software.
Gnome in F13 is 2.30 not 2.3
