Thank you everyone for your kindness, thoughts, prayers and messages. I appreciate all of the emails, especially from mariposatraicionera (thank you Elizabeth)! I'm doing well. Just had another chemo session today. My tumor markers (keep decreasing in size and my last CT scan showed shrinkage in all of the tumors and no new ones. Another CT scan on Monday and results on Wednesday. Always a nerve wracking experience! Although the chemo involves weakness, fatigue and moderate to severe bone/joint pain; it's not as bad as I feared. The "off" weeks 9every third) I feel more or less like myself. The doctors have finally stabilized my blood counts (with many shots daily, weekly and monthly) so haven't had any transfusions in over a month. While the doctors are very careful to keep emphasizing that this is ultimately not curable I am going in the right direction and every added month (dare I say year) with my family is worth it! I've also hired a "mother's helper" to help with driving the kids to activities, light housekeeping, laundry etc for 15-20 hours a week. This has made things more normal for them since they can have friends over to our house even when I'm bedridden. Also she took them to bowling, movies last week during school vacation week so they weren't stuck in front of the TV as i had a bad week. A big relief for me! Sad news today that a longterm teacher at my kids elementary school died yesterday of cancer (she had been on leave since late last school year so this mostly affected only my 5th grader). It did bring home to him the fact that people do die of this. However, the school (which has been wonderful) handled the news with great sensitivity telling the older grades (4 and 5) in class and having an "open circle) to handle questions and feelings. Younger grades (they had less contact with this teacher) will be told if questions arise. But my oldest is visibly sad this afternoon! Once again thank you everyone and kepp those positive thoughts coming my way! |

Hey girl, I was going to post a response letting the OP know that you were okay, but decided against it. That's such sad news about the teacher. Are your kids asking lots of questions or just looking upset? Hope you continue feeling better this week. Take care and enjoy your kitchen! Mine is still in the planning stages and it's really a nice break from the real stresses and issues facing the family. Lots of hugs!!! |

Holly: The "mother's helper" is a stroke of pure genius. Good for you! You're in my prayers. |
Holly, I'm so glad you wrote. You continue to be in my thoughts. Are you able to take any pain medication that can effectively address the bone pain? I'm glad the "mother's helper" idea is working for you. And please go ahead and dare say "year"! |
Hollybolly, you are in my prayers. Every additional moment is precious -- may you enjoy years of precious moments. |

Thank you everyone. Flyleft - I can get pain medication but since I'm taking so much other medications: antinausea (3 different), benadryl and steroids (to prevent allergic reactions to chemo), antibiotic mouth rinse (to prevent mouth sores), prevacid for reflux, blood thinners to prevent clots (2 injections/day), injections to boost white blood cells to prevent infections, injections to boost red blood cells to prevent anemia and transfusions, injections to put me in menopause to stop bleeding (in case the chemo didn't do it), low dose estrogen to deal with the hot flashes etc. And assorted other drugs as things crop up ; those are just the regulars. Anyway I don't want to take anything I don't have to and don't want to be "out of it" so I take extra strength Tylenol (no more than 6/day to save my poor liver) and it makes it bearable. Long answer a simple question. I've found that there is a drug for everything and another one to treat the side effects of the previous one. Anyway no complaints I'm lucky to have access to all of them and they do keep me more or less comfortable! Also my doctors are very eager to recommmend alternatives to conventional drugs which i find pleasantly surprising for a top institution such as Dana-Farber. For instance they recommend acidophillus pills for upset stomach, popcorn for constipation, vitamin e oil for chemo skin changes, root beer or cinnamon candies for chemo taste changes etc. They all work great and no side effects! Thank you everyone for showing an interest and letting me vent. It helps! |
I'm so glad you posted Holly. It sounds like you are in good hands. You must be a very strong woman. Keep us posted as we all really want to keep praying for you. Try lemon drops (the hard candy) for the nausea. I have heard some people say that it helps. You are so right, every moment we have is precious. You have reminded me to appreciate my family a little more and to be grateful. Thank you. Thinking of you and your family. Keep venting. We want to hear how things are going. Susan |
Crystallized Ginger for nausea! I swear by it during my migraines. And Holly, I remember and understand about the endless parade of meds. It just gets to be "enough already!" sometimes. Your last line in the first p'gh (a drug for everything...) made me LOL, btw :) |
Sending positive thoughts your way, Holly. Good to know you retained a mother's helper to conserve your energy and keep you fresh for those precious hours with the little ones. Hope the Wednesday CT news is good progress for you. I hope your older son has a school social worker or counselor to continue to help process the "sad" feelings. Sometimes art therapy is another good tool for the children. Popcorn for constipation! That's a new one to me! Yes, the alternatives are very big now and many are so smart when you think about it. Take care and get rest. |
So glad to hear you are doing well: difficult times help our children become better, more adaptable adults when they have parents like you to guide them. The mother's helper is a wonderful idea;I bet your kids like being able to keep things going with their friends, and I bet that lets you relax more so you can heal better. All my best to you. |

Hello everyone. Good news on the last CT scan: the tumors keep shrinking (some even disappearing altogether) and no new ones. However my body is taking a beating from the chemo and I needed several transfusions. They had to cut the dosage of the chemo by 20% to give my bone marrow a break. This is the second reduction and anymore would make the chemo ineffective. So if my blood counts keep falling then I'll have to take a "chemo holiday" for a few months. The trick is to get the tumors as small as possible before that happens. Overall i'm doing well. The kids love the nanny and seem more settled. My husband is able to reduce his schedule without affecting income/insurance etc so he'll work 4 days/week and get to spend more time with us. If everything goes well we're planning on going away for Easter break to SC where my father has a place. |
Wonderful news! Still lifting you up in our prayers! |
Oh Holly--I'm so glad you posted...especially such good news. Sounds really good. I hope you are doing OK on the chemo. I know that it is rough. Have they given you any of the drugs that stimulate the bone marrow to produce white blood cells? Stay well and keep us up with what is going on. How old are your children if I may ask? Susan |
Wow, (((((Holly))))! That's splendid news. You're such a courageous woman to go through this with such style and strength. I'll be hoping you get to go to SC for Easter, but if your husband gets to be home one more day a week, you'll have a new holiday at home every week anyway :) |

Thank you everyone. Yes I get Neulasta to stimulate white blood cells and that works great. I also get Arensp for red blood cells (doesn't work as well as the Neulasta) but there is nothing to stimulate platelets which is my biggest problem. All of these drugs are incredibly expensive ($3000 - $5000) for a single injection but luckily our insurance covers it all. I've sort of become fixated on medical especially drug costs which are outrageous! My kids are 5(six in a few weeks), 8 and 10. I managed to drag myself to the middle school open house this week. My oldest starts 6th grade next year and the youngest 1st. Can't forget my poor middle child; he goes into 3rd. Also managed to drag myself to the parent preview of the "puberty movie" that they'll show the 5th graders. Very well done! These milestones are so important to me! Once again thank you! |
Holly, Thanks for letting us know what is happening with your treatment. Sounds like you have a wonderful husband. It is so good that he can be with you and the kids more days as you go through this arduous treatment. I hope he himself is getting as much support from family and friends or from a caregivers support group as he needs to energize him during these challenging months. Meeting with or talking to others in treatment or post-treatment can be a very helpful part of your own journey as well, as you have probably already discovered at Dana-Farber. You are fortunate to live close enough to such a top-knotch treatment center. Really nice to have the trip for you all to to look forward to in the spring. Our daughter is in the MB area and it gives us a chance to visit along the NC/SC coast. Much easier pace than the NE! I bet the kids are excited. We are continuing to send positive energy northward to you, Holly. Hopefully the chemo holiday will renew your energy and spirits. |
Hi Holly - just wanted to let you know I am thinking of you too. I went through two years of very aggressive chemo at MD Anderson Cancer Center so my heart really goes out to you - hearing what you are going through. It is so hard but I think it truly makes you appreciate every little bit of time when you are feeling better. Best wishes to you and your family. |

Holly, Quietly following this thread and wanting to send positive thoughts to you. Enjoy your spring break in South Carolina. We lived in the Carolinas for 13 years, and I still miss it sometimes. No place is more beautiful in spring. |

Holly, Thinking of you and sending positive energy your way. You're handling your situation with such incredible grace and determination. I have a 6 and 9 yr old and really admire the way you've made space for your children despite all that you're going through. Have a lovely holiday! |
- Posted by mariposatraicionera (My Page) on Mon, Mar 20, 06 at 19:12
Best wishes to you 'Holly', and enjoy your break with the kids. |
Thanks for posting Holly. I'm glad you are enjoying your kids. I'm another midlife mommy like you. I am also an RN and I remember when those drugs first came out. I remember my head nurse telling us that a single dose of the stuff was almost 10K. Sounds like the prices have come down a little ;-) I know it must take incredible effort to make it to those activities. It takes a lot of strength to still fulfull those mommy roles under such trying circumstances. I'm sure it means a lot to your kids. |
Hollybolly, thinking of you...if you happen to see this, please post if you feel inclined... |
Holly - big ((((hugs)))! Check in when you can. |

Move WordPress to DreamHost
Here's how to move a WordPress installation from one location to your DreamHost account. (Warning: these instructions are written by users and may not match what you need to do exactly.) Before doing anything that cannot be reversed, back up the WordPress database.
The Easy Way: Use WordPress' export function. It's under Manage in WP 2.0 and earlier, and under Tools in later versions. This exports your posts, pages, comments and user accounts (although users will have to set new passwords).
The Better Way: Use the free Duplicator Plugin. It will package up your Wordpress install as well as the MySQL database on the "source" side. Then on the "target" side you simply create an empty database, upload the zipped package files and run the installer.php. The installer will ask you for the empty DB login details and will install the Wordpress files as well as the contents of the source DB. It will also update the Wordpress config and DB if your site URL has changed (this allows you to test on a sub-domain URL and then use this plugin to deploy to a production URL).
Note 1: Your source and target systems need to have the ZipArchive PHP extension installed so that the Duplicator plugin can zip the package. You can check this by going to the System Compatibility page in the Duplicator plugin. On Dreamhost that means your site must be running PHP 5.3. If your site isn't running 5.3, you can easily change it if you edit the web hosting options of your domain from the Domains Control Panel page.
Note 2: The 0.4.4 version of the plug in does not change the config info in wp-content/advanced-cache.php so you need to update that manually after install.
Other than that, this plugin works brilliantly and is FREE!
From your old host to DreamHost
Migrate your SQL database
See Migrate MySQL for detailed instructions. Note: to test a WordPress installation with the yourdomain.dreamhosters.com domain alias, you'll need to change the SQL values "siteurl" and "home" in the "wp_options" table.
Back up your database
Before you do anything else, back up your MySQL database. The method of creating a backup differs from host to host. The simplest method is to use phpMyAdmin, a web-based SQL manager available on many hosts' domain-management websites.
See the article Backup MySQL for instructions on three ways to make a SQL file containing your old database:
- From phpMyAdmin
- From cPanel (cPanel.net)
- From the shell via mysqldump
Create a destination hostname and database
Once you have a backup, make a new SQL hostname and a new, empty database for your WordPress installation, via DreamHost Web Panel > Goodies > MySQL Databases. If you make the hostname and the database's name, user, and password information the same as for your old hostname and database, you can avoid editing your wp_config.php file.
Transfer your WordPress installation
Next, transfer your WordPress installation's files from your old host to your new DreamHost account.
You can do this either:
- by downloading them to your computer first and then uploading them to DreamHost via FTP/SFTP, or
- by logging onto your DreamHost account via SSH and pulling the files from your other server via FTP/SFTP directly to your DreamHost server. This method can be much faster, especially if you have a big installation, so try it this way if you are even vaguely familiar with the Linux command prompt.
Either way, it will go faster if you archive and compress your old WordPress installation first. If your old host provides SSH access, you can log onto your old webhost's server via SSH. If not, they might provide a tool via their panel that will create a backup of your files on the server, which should allow you to download your entire directory or directories as a single .tar/.tar.gz/.zip file. You can then upload the single file to your DreamHost server and log on via SSH to decompress it on the server.
If executed correctly, this whole operation can be done in under 5 minutes.
Edit wp_config.php
After you transfer the database and WordPress files, make sure that the information in the wp_config.php file in your WordPress root directory matches the hostname and login information for your new database. Chances are that the name of the database that you set up on your DreamHost server will differ from the one on your previous host, and have a different username/password.
You may be able to avoid editing the wp_config.php file if you note this information from your previous host's control panel, and give your new DreamHost database exactly the same name as your old database; and you may be able also to create the same username/password combination for the database, depending upon whether these names are already in use on our system.
Test installation
When migrating MySQL from one host to another, you can test the new installation before modifying your domain's DNS entries. To do this, make a "mirror" of your DreamHost-hosted domain, by adding "yourdomainname.dreamhosters.com" as a mirrored subdomain. To do this, navigate to DreamHost Web Panel > Domains > Manage Domains, click the "Add Hosting to a Domain / Sub-Domain" button, and scroll down to the "Mirrored" section. Enter the new domain name in the "Domain that mirrors:" text field, and select the domain you want to mirror in the drop-down. Make sure to leave ".com", ".org", or ".net" out of your subdomain name: e.g. if your domain is "yourdomain.net", the new subdomain should be "yourdomain.dreamhosters.com". Then click the "Mirror with this subdomain now!" button. Once your mirror has been activated, you'll want to make sure you have a MySQL host name setup on it. You'll need to manually create the MySQL host name for your new mirrored sub-domain in the Goodies > Manage MySQL section of your web panel. The new MySQL host should be named in this format: mysql.yourdomain.dreamhosters.com. Then after that host name is setup, navigate to the mirror's phpMyAdmin interface, which should be located at yoursqlhostname.yourdomain.dreamhosters.com. Make sure to log in with the sql user login information you used to set up the database, not your DreamHost login information. Once you've logged into the phpMyAdmin interface, select the appropriate database, then "browse" the tables and edit their values to replace instances of "yourdomain.net" with "yourdomain.dreamhosters.com". When this is completed, you can then view your site at yourdomain.dreamhosters.com as installed. Once you've successfully confirmed and configured the installation, edit the appropriate SQL values back to "yourdomain.net"; you may then update your domain's DNS entries.
Update DNS records
Lastly, after you verified that everything is working on your DreamHost account, you'll have to point your domain name to DreamHost's name servers. Note that you don't need to transfer your domain to DreamHost, you only need to reconfigure its name servers to point to DreamHost. In order to do this, access your registrar, the service provider with whom you registered your domain. If you're not sure who you registered with, you can often find that information by going to Whois.net and entering your domain name in the search field. Access your registrar's control panel (it might be the same as your webhost, but doesn't have to be), and change your domain's name server settings to ns1.DreamHost.com, ns2.DreamHost.com, and ns3.DreamHost.com. The change can take up to 48 hours to take effect, but often happens sooner.
If you've done everything correctly, your domain will now bring up your WordPress installation on your DreamHost account. If you need to check if the domain is pointing to the right server, upload a text file to your domain's root directory on your DreamHost server (but not your old server) and try to access that file via a web browser. If it's there, that means your domain is now pointing to the right place!
Make sure that no edits take place on your WordPress installation during the 48 hour waiting period, since any changes that you make or any new content that you add will not carry over to your DreamHost account unless you retransfer the database as described above after your domain has transferred successfully. Also note that the easiest way to access your site's files during the transition period is by entering the your server's IP address as the hostname in your FTP/SSH program, making sure you note the correct IP address that is associated with each respective web hosting account.

Hi, I would like some Tiny Tim tomato and Red Robin tomato seeds.
I have the following varieties to trade, of which I can only send a few seeds. I received these seeds a few years ago from a benevolent gardenwebber, but some of them are marked with names I have been unable to verify online. Those are marked with a ? Avvri?
Follow-Up Postings:
Hi, yipla, I have 5 Red Robin seeds, which I'll be glad to send you. Check out my list, linked below to see if there are any others listed that you'd like. I am in the process of giving away the seeds I know I won't grow again, and I do see one variety on your list I'd like -- Prudens Purple. So, if five Red Robin Seeds are worth a trade, email me, and we'll make arrangements. |

Hi there everyone. I'm new to theses forums and this is my first post. I hope I'm posting this in the correct section (-.-;). Exactly 14 days ago, I started on my little at-home Moso bamboo seed germination project. I live in Seattle and I know this isn't the best place for Moso to grow, but 300 seeds for $13 USD on eBay was just too good of a deal to pass up! The method I used for seed preparation:
I filled a clear plastic box that used to hold roast beef (bought from Safeway) to 1 inch above the bottom of the container with Miracle•Gro Potting Soil purchased from Lowe's. The box measures about 6'' x 4.5 '' x 2.5''. I moistened the soil a little bit and mixed it up with a chopstick. Next, I placed 10 prepared seeds in 2 rows inside the box on top of the soil. I wasn't sure whether or not I was supposed to stick them in upright with the pointy end facing upwards towards the sky, so I opted not to. I placed them flat against the soil like so:
Today, 2 skinny sprouts struck out of the soil! I'm very excited about this!!! I have a question for you guys. How long should I wait for until I transplant them into different containers? If anyone would like to see pictures I'll take some post them up, just let me know. |

Oh no guys! I planted 10 seeds. 3 has germinated so far but 1 sprout has reached the lid of the container! What should I do? If I remove the lid, the humidity will decrease drastically and this might stunt the germination of the other seeds :(. Help~ |
Prick out the germinated seedling an place it in a larger pot with more soil. I like using recycled 32 ounce strofoam cups with potting soil in them. |
- Posted by ivillage_rex (email@example.com) on Thu, Aug 7, 08 at 15:27
Bad news!!! The container I had them in fell off the window ledge and all the dirt/seedlings flopped onto my carpet and computer monitor last night. I fixed up a tub of new potting soil and transplanted them into it as fast as possible, but I know they're not supposed to be moved while they're young. This morning, I checked to see how they were doing. Out of the 3 seedlings, one of them has its single leaf drying up. It's not brown, but it's leaf is accumulating crinkles! I need help guys :(! What should I do? |

Though Yoga (hot) has lately turn out to be popular in western cultures, it's a practice which has been in existence for hundreds of years within India. Many individuals now grow to be students of Hot Yoga simply because of the amplified set of health benefits that outcomes from the distinction in heat.
Performed in a 'hot room', hot yoga gives students with a bunch of health benefits. Here are 5 techniques for learners to maximise health benefits obtained from Hot Yoga.
1. Set to it that you follow your class plan.
Attending hot yoga classes always is good, but it'll not be consistent enough in your lifestyle to have a good impact. Try and attend a hot yoga class at least two times a week, so that your body becomes used to the heat and stretches being conducted on a regular basis.
2. Eat a sensible diet
With any healthly way of life and exercise programme, a well balanced diet is paramount. Your diet need to contain a lot of complex carbohydrates and proteins, allowing the body to refuel itself and repair torn muscle fibres. Having basic carbohydrates such as fruit is a fast way of gaining energy, just just before a class or just after (to regain energy quickly). Make certain your
fat intake is low and your fibre intake is high, allowing your food to be broken up and used far more efficiently.
3. Stretch out your muscles outside of the class
By allowing your body to become supple outside of the class in normal temperatures, you'll be able to see bigger differences in your flexibility within the hot classes you attend. This will enable you to push beyond your boundaries, allowing your body to grow to be a lot

Dear project supporter,
I am excited to announce that funding will be provided to construct a new Bell Museum of Natural History and Planetarium. After years of planning, fundraising and advocacy, our shared dream of expanding awareness of Minnesota's natural history and STEM education is being realized. Thank you for all you have done to make this dream a reality!
The new museum and planetarium will be built on the northwest edge of the University's campus in St. Paul.
President Eric Kaler's commitment to improving STEM education for Minnesota has made the difference. When the opportunity arose to creatively finance the construction, President Kaler stepped up to keep our project alive.
Interim Dean Brian Buhr, College of Food, Agricultural and Natural Resource Sciences, is thrilled to have the project funded. "I'm looking forward to opening the new museum and planetarium, and expanding its role of explaining University research." Buhr says. "This museum complex will be the gateway to the St. Paul campus and a jewel in providing hands-on experiences to future scientists, educators and natural resource professionals."
Diorama Booklet
I am grateful for the steadfast leadership provided by Representative Alice Hausman, who has championed the project for over a decade. This positive outcome speaks volumes about her outstanding integrity and vision of Minnesota's future STEM-related workforce.
Finally, I am extremely grateful for the many hours of volunteer service by our Advisory Board, led by chair Steve Birke, and co-vice chairs Lee Pfannmuller and Peter Lepik. They led our advocacy efforts with an infectious brand of passion and commitment to improving and expanding STEM education.

New Mexico could easily be confused for Alberta :)
@mafiosa All the cowboys I know. My Mother likes to sit in the first rows at the rodeo and is always hopeful that it is a cowboy that falls over the fence in her lap, because ya know they always say you can keep anything the flies into the stands. ;-)

Finding new holiday traditions for my family
When my husband and I had children, I found myself craving holiday traditions but found that we didn't have many. In particular we didn't have any foods (other than clam chowder from Captain Marden's, heated and served each year right before going to Christmas Eve service), that spoke to our cultural heritage or felt particularly traditional.
Despite the fact that my brother and I are mostly Irish, when asked about our heritage we always identified ourselves as Swedish. When naming our children, my husband and I pulled from the Swedish thread, choosing "Anders" after my ancestor Anders Sundin (formerly Anderson) who stepped off the boat onto Ellis Island.
And it was to those roots that I looked when it was time to start creating new traditions for my family.
While we've introduced many new food traditions in the past eight years – my mother-in-law's "famous" mashed potatoes, a standing rib roast with Yorkshire pudding – my favorite is Swedish Meatballs served with red bliss potatoes, broccoli and Lingonberry sauce on Christmas eve.
Initially, the meatballs and fixings came from Ikea, but last year we added a new tradition – making meatballs from scratch as we listened to Christmas carols and enjoying the downtime that comes before the chaos of Christmas day.
Using a recipe I found in The Boston Globe, my daughter and I made last year's meatballs, and while they tasted better than the looked, we all agreed it was a tradition that should continue.
Have you started any new holiday food traditions for your family?
Looking for new holiday traditions for your family? On December 20th, chef Lidia Bastianich is sharing the holiday food traditions she uncovered in the special "Lidia Celebrates America's Holiday Tables & Traditions." She is also sharing recipes from visitors to her site on LidiaCelebratesAmerica.com.
Swedish Meatballs
by Karoline Boehm Goodnick
Note: Use torn bread cubes in place of bread crumbs to make a delicate meatball which absorbs more sauce.
- 1 cup (about 4 slices) torn bread cubes
- ⅔ cup milk
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 onion, finely chopped
- 1 egg
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
- ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- ¼ teaspoon ground allspice
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Canola oil (for the pan)
1. Set the oven at 450. Have on hand a large nonstick skillet with an ovenproof handle or a cast iron skillet. Place a wire rack inside a rimmed baking sheet.
2. In a bowl, combine bread and milk.
3. In another bowl, gently mix beef, onion, egg, parsley, nutmeg, allspice, salt, pepper, and bread mix.
4. Coat the skillet lightly with oil. With wet hands, form 30 small meatballs and place them in the skillet.
5. Bake for 20 minutes, turning once or twice, or until well browned.
6. Transfer the meatballs to the rack to drain. Use the same skillet to make the sauce.
- 1 teaspoon canola oil
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon flour
- 1 cup beef broth
- ½ cup heavy cream
- Salt and pepper, to taste
1. In the skillet over medium high heat, heat the oil. Add the onion and cook, stirring often, for 5 minutes, or until beginning to brown. Stir in the flour, and cook for 1 minute.
2. Stir in the broth and cream. Bring to a boil. Add meatballs; lower the heat, and simmer for 20 minutes or until the sauce thickens.
3. Taste for seasoning, and add more salt and pepper, if you like.

I am considering putting these 4 plants in a north facing bed that runs the length of one half my house, it's a relatively shaded area (pergola overhead) and it is shaded from the house at certain times of the day.
How much of one or the other is desirable...I hope that there is a "norm" even without knowing what variety I have. Thanks for any input |
Follow-Up Postings:
Hard to say without knowing exactly what you have but most hydrangeas will tolerate part shade or even require it in your neck of the woods. Especially if it's one of the macrophyllas - the type most often sold at large garden centers. When does it get out of the house's shadow? Late afternoon? If the area gets a good amount of indirect light ("bright shade") chances are they will do very well there. |
It will definitely get bright filtered shade (due to the pergola overhead), I had some peace lillies there in large pots, that did OK, not great, it was still a bit too hot outside for them. But they lived there quite a while anyway. I also have some ferns there (inground) that come back every year and some hosta, also happy there. I was thinking maybe to give them a trial run, I'd leave them in containers and see how the summer goes, and plant them if it all looks good. Another consideration is to oover a small section of the pergola that is near the roof line and that would create a foot or two of direct shelter, and even so, they would still get a good deal of filtered sunlight. I have NO large trees on our property...so it's hard to find true shade ;) |
In Georgia they will want protection from the hot afternoon sun. Any sun in the morning - even full sun - should be fine. |

New York Law School's academic centers, led by members of the faculty, continue to maximize the effectiveness of faculty research and scholarly endeavors, teaching, and activism, and to increase opportunities for students to engage in important policy issues. Six academic centers, described below, play an integral role in the Harlan Scholars honors program.
Center for Business and Financial Law
The Center for Business and Financial Law (CBFL) provides students with an unparalleled, rigorous, and integrated approach to academic study and skills training in all aspects of corporate, commercial, and financial law. Through cutting-edge courses, events, projects, and research, the CBFL brings together academics, practitioners, and students to address the challenges that animate business and finance.
Center for International Law
In 1996, aided by a grant from the C.V. Starr Foundation, the School created the C.V. Starr Center for International Law. The Center supports teaching and research in all areas of international law but concentrates on the law of international trade and finance, deriving much of its strength from interaction with New York's business, commercial, financial, and legal communities. The Center sponsors events such as the prestigious C.V. Starr Lectures and the Otto L. Walter Lecture Series, which regularly bring world-renowned speakers to the Law School. It also provides extensive resources for researching careers in international law.
Center for New York City Law
Established in 1993, the Center for New York City Law is the only program of its kind in the country. Its objectives are to gather and disseminate information about New York City's laws, rules, and procedures; to sponsor publications, symposia, and conferences on topics related to governing the City; and to suggest reforms to make city government more effective and efficient. The Center produces several publications, including CityLaw, which tracks New York City's rules and regulations, how they are enforced, and court challenges to them; and CityLand, which reports decisions from the New York City land use agencies.
Center for Real Estate Studies
The Center for Real Estate Studies provides students with a unique educational opportunity to study both the private practice and public regulation of real estate. Launched in 2007, the Center offers an extensive selection of classroom courses, advanced seminars, and independent study projects, as well as externships in governmental offices and real estate firms. It also sponsors conferences, symposia, and continuing legal education programs on a broad spectrum of issues for New York's real estate community. The Center aims to bridge the existing gap between the private practice and academic study of real estate, and is one of the premier research centers in the country for the study of real estate.
Impact Center for Public Interest Law
The Impact Center for Public Interest Law brings together New York Law School faculty and students in an ongoing critical evaluation of public interest lawyering. Through scholarship and fieldwork, the Center seeks to evaluate the efficacy of law as an agent of change and social betterment. Through a focused curriculum, symposia, clinical experience, and research opportunities, the Center seeks to instill in students a deeper intellectual understanding of the law regardless of their final career goals, and to present opportunities to maintain their ties to the social justice community beyond law school.
Institute for Information Law and Policy
Established in 2003, the Institute for Information Law and Policy is home to the study of information, communication, and law in the global digital age. The goal of the Institute is to apply the theory and technology of communications and information to strengthening democratic institutions and the rule of law as technology evolves. Through its curriculum, ongoing conference and speaker series, and a variety of original projects, the Institute investigates the emerging field of information law, which encompasses intellectual property, privacy, free speech, information access, communications, and all areas of law pertaining to information and communication practices.
Additional Institutes, Programs and Projects
Alternative Dispute Resolution Skills Program
The mission of New York Law School Alternative Dispute Resolution Skills Program is to prepare students to intelligently anticipate, avoid, manage and resolve client disputes in an efficient and commercially rational manner, while also providing education, training and resources to the legal and business community of which the School is a part.
Diane Abbey Law Institute for Children and Families
The Diane Abbey Law Institute for Children and Families exists to ensure that children and the families who care for them receive the legal assistance they need to remain safe and secure, and to thrive. Founded in 2009, the Institute offers a comprehensive curriculum aimed at creating excellent practitioners able to represent children and families in all aspects of family law. The Institute's approach is holistic and interdisciplinary, recognizing that assisting families requires a basic understanding not merely of law, but also social work, psychology, and other fields. Institute members engage in volunteer externships, work with alumni mentors, and complete capstone projects that make concrete contributions to the lives of families in need. The Institute not only prepares graduates for successful careers, but also helps give New York's children and families the support they need.
Institute for Global Law Justice and Policy
The Institute for Global Law Justice and Policy is a collaboration between faculty and students to pursue activities in the areas of global law, justice and policy. The collaboration involves leading scholars, experts from fields of national and international practice, and students at all levels of legal education. Institute fellows are always included in year long meetings convened under the auspices of the Global Law and Justice Colloquium. Students in the Colloquium get to participate in research and scholarship as it is being produced. They engage by writing reaction papers before the class as well as by participating by engaging with leading academics and practitioners in the class sessions, as well as more informally in smaller lunches and dinners.
Legal Practice Program
In fall 2011, New York Law School launched a new first-year skills program, Legal Practice, which provides students with a comprehensive introduction to lawyering skills at the beginning of their law school careers. The program is designed to prepare students for their first legal work experience and presents them with challenging scenarios that call on them to problem-solve and apply the law in context.
Media Center
The Media Center is the Law School's home for the study of telecommunications, media, and new media law and policy. One of the oldest and most extensive programs of its kind, it was established in 1977 in response to the explosive growth of communication technologies. The Center sponsors pedagogy, scholarship, and projects relating to the intersection between evolving communication and information technologies and the laws that regulate them. The Center has three goals: to promote scholarship, to preserve democratic values through effective media policy, and to train media-savvy lawyers who understand the law of media and the role of media in the law.
Program in Law and Journalism
The Program in Law and Journalism is New York Law School's home for the study of the relationship between lawyers, the media, and the public. The Program offers students the opportunity to participate in its Associates Program, engaging in coursework, projects and externships focusing on legal journalism and media law. In addition, the Program hosts thought-provoking speakers about current issues, and provides investigative reporting opportunities for students on our website. No other law school in the nation currently is as committed to quality journalism as New York Law School. We benefit from a team of affiliated faculty who have worked as journalists and in media law, and who are active in helping students achieve their goals.
