Are there any climbing vines that grow well for you in full shade? We had to install a five foot chain link fence along our back border today. I would like to take advantage of the vertical growing space with a climbing vine if possible. The area is shaded by two large oak trees and a sycamore. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated. |
Follow-Up Postings:
Does it matter if it blooms? Some vines will do well enough to grow, but perhaps not well enough to bloom. Does it need to be evergreen? |
Esh, it doesn't matter if they bloom although that would be nice. Evergreen would be nice since it would add year round interest and a little privacy. The trees are all mature and do not have low hanging limbs so it gets a wee bit of dappled sunlight, but since it is so little I think it is considered full shade (??). I believe the main challenge will be soil moisture because of the trees. However, on the back side of the fence there is a property easement for a drainage ditch. When it rains a good bit, the area is nice and moist. If it would be beneficial, I could build a small raised bed in front of the fence to plant the vines. Any advice is appreciated. |
Clematis Armandii |
Decumaria barbara thrives in full shade in my yard, but doesn't bloom. And it is not evergreen. Clematis virginiana is also very robust (still no blooms and not evergreen). |
I have a jasmine vine that is growing up the posts under my deck. It's not full shade, but mostly shade. The vine does well and the blooms are fantastically scented. It has some winter dieback, but it's mostly evergreen in my yard. |
Thanks everyone for suggestions. Esh_GA / Vroomp, Do you know of a source in the metro Atlanta area for the clematis and climbing hydrangea. I checked the web and can find seeds for the clematis. Do you know if they can be grown easily from seed? Buford, Is your plant Confederate Jasmine? I read it will work in part shade. Thanks again for your help. |
opal - you are welcome to come over to my house and dig as much of both of those as you want. I am north of Roswell/Crabapple. Contact me via my email in my profile. I brought several pots of the clematis to the trade and they transplanted well. I don't really know of a source for them for purchase. |
Sauls normally carries the C. Armandii and Climbing Hydrangeas usually show up at Pikes around June. Pikes will usually have the Clematis in stock as well but, may charge as much as $30 for one whereas Sauls will charge $18. |

Is the climbing hydrangea agressive like ivy? What does it look like in the winter? Dora |
Decumaria barbara is sometimes known as "climbing hydrangea". It is native to this area and is deciduous in the winter. It is not aggressive like ivy although in my yard it has ambled along for many years and is therefore quite prolific. Lucy came by a couple of weeks ago and took home four clumps. I have it growing on a fence and it will be blooming any day now. I'll take pictures then. It's really a very handsome vine. |

esh, since most of my nightmares involve any kind of ivy or groundcover - I'm hesitant :) I am willing;however, to explore this one some more if I could keep it tamed.... Dora |
I don't think my jasmine is confederate jasmine. That has yellow flowers and my jasmine has white flowers. |
That is the tricky part about using "common" names. Carolina jessamine/Carolina yellow jasmine (Gelsemium sempervirens) has yellow flowers and blooms early in spring - that may be what you are thinking of, buford; it is a native vine. The vine most commonly known as confederate jasmine (Trachelospermum jasminoides) has white flowers; it is not native. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Confederate jasmine
I planted the climbing hydrangea last fall for first time. Although deciduous, it did not die back...perhaps because it was in such a protected area at the end of the deck. Just gets morning sun, and not even much of that now since we have so many trees. It looks great, has not been too aggressive (yet) and I am hoping to see if it blooms. My confederate jasmine has white flowers and is loving the shade...best of several places I've had it. |
- Posted by nwgatreasures 7 (My Page) on Thu, May 27, 10 at 10:09
ok Esh, I'm officially in 'like' with that plant/flower. Where can I find it? Would it do well being transplanted at this time (June). and one more question.... How well do you think it would do if I grew it on a trellis as opposed to the side of the house (can't bring myself to let something grow on the house and we don't have any fences on our property.) Thanks in advance for your answers and guidance, |
ok, thanks esh, yes I have the Confederate Jasmine. And now I want the climbing hydrangea! |
Dora - I'm growing it on a fence, so I think a trellis would be fine. It is a vine that "attaches" rather than one that twines. I don't know if you can buy this one - I haven't seen it in a store, but you can sure have some of mine. You too, buford. |
- Posted by nwgatreasures 7 (My Page) on Thu, May 27, 10 at 15:18
Thank you so much Esh for your generous offer. If you think it will survie a transplant at this time of year, I'd like to take you up on your offer the first full week of June. (I will contact you privately to see what works for you) Forgive me with my ignorance but what does "attaches" mean? |
Here's a good article on how different vines climb. See page 2 of this article. They describe them as having "tendrils that terminate in suction (holdfast) discs". Ivy is an example of a clinging/attaching vine. |

- Posted by nwgatreasures 7 (My Page) on Thu, May 27, 10 at 20:12
I think I will pass on the climbing hydrangea and admire it through pictures or in someon else's property. Anything that attaches is probabaly not something I want to be attached to :) I am very appreciative of your helping me to learn about this and your offer. Dora |
Glad to help, Dora. It is certainly good to understand about a plant when deciding whether to bring it in. |

[281] Droplet Digital PCR™: Comparison of a Novel Method of HER2 Testing to Immunohistochemistry and Fluorescence In Situ Hybridization
Stephanie C Tanner, Jesus Monico, Phil Belgrader, Jack Regan, Ryan Koehler, Alexandra S Brown. The University of Mississippi Medical Center, Jackson, MS; Bio-Rad Laboratories, Hercules, CA
Background: Recently, laboratories have begun offering HER2 testing using conventional quantitative PCR (qPCR). Although sensitive, qPCR has limitations in distinguishing and accurately measuring small changes in template copy number. In this feasibility study, we examined detection and quantification of HER2 DNA amplification by droplet digital PCR (ddPCR), a highly precise method for absolute DNA quantitation.
Design: The surgical pathology archives at our institution were searched for 50 cases of invasive breast carcinoma that had IHC and/or FISH results, available formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissue, and at least 5 mm of invasive tumor. For each case, DNA was extracted from FFPE tissue and a PCR reaction mixture was produced. Each PCR reaction mixture was divided into an emulsion of ∼20,000 1 nL mono-sized droplets. Each droplet served as an independent PCR reaction and contained either one or zero molecules of template. Droplets were thermal cycled and analyzed using an automated reader. Software counted the fraction of positive droplets for each sample, then calculated the concentration of HER2 and CEP17 genes in each sample. The copy number ratio of HER2 to CEP17 was used to determine whether the sample was positive or negative for HER2. We compared these data with HER2 status previously defined by IHC (27 cases), FISH (3 cases) and IHC and FISH (20 cases).
Results: Initial HER2 status was negative or positive with the following frequencies: IHC only 19(38%), 7(14%); FISH only 2(4%), 1(2%); combined IHC and FISH 19(38%), 2(4%). For ddPCR, results were negative in 41(82%), positive in 9(18%), showing 100% concordance with IHC and FISH results. Of the 11 cases that were equivocal by IHC, ddPCR converted HER2 status to positive in 9 and negative in 2. There was no change in HER2 status with ddPCR for patients evaluated by FISH or by both IHC and FISH.
Conclusions: ddPCR detected HER2 amplification in all cases having previous positive results while all negative cases were correctly assigned as negative (100% concordance). In eleven cases with equivocal IHC, ddPCR was able to detect presence or absence of HER2 amplification when compared to FISH. In conclusion, ddPCR is a highly precise method for measuring DNA copy number and these preliminary results demonstrate the feasibility of measuring HER2 amplification in breast carcinoma.

Faux Honeycomb Gift Soap Favors
Easily crafted in a bubble wrap-lined pan, these golden gift soaps make a hunny of a favor for a Winnie the Pooh themed baby shower.
You'll need:
- Baking pan (8- by 6-inches or similar dimensions)
- Bubble wrap
- 1 pound clear glycerin soap (sold in large craft stores)
- Spoon
- Gold or yellow soap coloring
- Soap scent (optional)
- Microwavable container for melting the glycerin soap
1. Line the bottom and sides of the baking pan with bubble wrap (bubbles facing up).
2. Cut the glycerin soap into small cubes and put them in a microwavable container. Melt the soap in the microwave according to the manufacturer's directions.
3. Stir a few drops of gold or yellow soap coloring into the melted soap to tint it honey colored. Stir in a few drops of soap scent, if desired.
4. Pour the liquid soap into the bubble wrap-lined pan. Gently press another piece of bubble wrap (bubbles down) evenly into the top of the soap.
5. Let the soap cool and set up for 20 to 40 minutes. Then remove it from the pan and pull away the bubble wrap.
6. Trim the sides and ends of the soap block to create even edges. Then cut the block into gift soap-size pieces and package them in clear cellophane bags tied with ribbon.
For more Winnie the Pooh fun, check out the official Winnie the Pooh site.

The initial page layout settings used throughout your store are determined by the theme. However, you can override the default layout by changing the layout of specific pages. You can achieve some interesting results if you experiment with different page column layouts. For example, some built-in blocks are associated with a specific column. If the column is not visible, then the blocks associated with it will not appear in the store. Just because your theme uses a certain page layout, doesn't mean that you can't change it!
For example, the Product Compare block is initially associated with the right column. So if your theme uses a one-column layout for the category page, the Product Compare block will not be visible. However, you can make it appear by changing the page layout of the category to a two-column with right bar layout.

Coffee Trucks [Photos]
Posted on May 29, 2011 by Mike
This delivery truck is from Texas circa I don't know when, and features Direct Trade coffee (sort of) from Duncan Coffee. Duncan was started in 1918 and still exists! They "only buy the top 3% of Arabica beans from around the world to ensure quality" so obviously that's been the key to their longevity.
The MUD Truck has been a fixture in the East Village of NYC for many years, ultimately growing into a brick and mortar shop. But they make no such claims of quality control, and in fact avoid telling you anything at all about the coffees that they're serving. Mud chooses instead to focus your attention on their "anti-establishment philosophy", and reminds you that "MUD was, is and MUD will be".
Which reminds me of the Love Truck, which was, isn't, and never will be again, a Mud Truck. Despite their apparent differences in operational philosophy, both trucks continue to share the same standards for quality control and transparency.
The Gimme! trailer wasn't technically a truck, but definitely deserves props for concept and design. There are of course certain advantages to having a legitimate source of electricity and plumbing, but the limitations inherent to working out of a closet remain.
But my favorite so far might be this VW Bus spotted in Thailand. Thailand is of course the best place to go if you want to cut through red-tape and make things happen. Things like producing amphetamine laced whiskeys, and engaging in certain types of elective surgery. In this case baristas seem to have successfully removed all excess overhead and boiled it down to the brass tacks.
Which of course brings us back to Handsome Coffee Roasters. But I'm not really sure what they're using their van for, aside from scrubbing, sanding, and tweeting during road-trips. My guess is that at some point they'll be using this handsome van for smoking an entire side of beef (among other things).
La Colombe may take the prize here though. As far as I can tell there's no one that's more well prepared to attend the World Championship Barbecue Cooking Contest. Which is kind of a big deal.

"What a horrible recipe! No flavor at all. Do yourself a favor and skip the water, and use rotel in place of it. Also, use a can of tomato paste as well. This recipe is a good start, but waaay to bland as is. Also add some jalepenos when you cook the veggies if you like it spicier."

Chef Bupar acquired her culinary prowess alongside her mother, who operated a street-side café in Bangkok for more than 20 years. Today, she draws on recipes she learned from her mother to conjure up the bustling, spice-tinged air of the city of her youth. The traditional Thai flavors of ginger, lemongrass, and garlic flood dishes and thick coconut milk helps lower the potency of red chilies in a range of curries to a pleasant warmth. Beneath the eatery's saffron-hued walls and decorative greenery, bouquets of basil, cilantro, and fresh sprouts bestow portions of noodles and rice with textural variety.
Diners can sit outdoors if the weather and 80-foot sentient dragon statue permits, or enjoy after-dinner entertainment at the nearby Matthew Knight Arena. Downstairs in The Underground Lounge, diners can feast on the main restaurant's full menu in a more casual atmosphere adorned with pool tables, HDTVs, and dartboards.
Sweet basil, a pungent and spicy herb with a flavor akin to cloves, originated in India, where it is believed to be a sacred protection against evil. The basil might not be fighting dark spirits at Sweet Basil restaurant, but things are going right for the eatery.
Aromas of fresh garlic, cilantro, and coconut milk waft across the cozy eatery, tempting customers to choose items such as garlic prawns, ba mee nam egg noodles, and three-flavor halibut. Deep-fried to a golden brown, the halibut comes topped with sweet-plum sugar, sour tamari, and garlic chili, making it a favorite of the Eugene Review. Dessert tempts tongues with a fried banana topped with powdered sugar and honey or with housemade coconut ice cream.
Having dietary restrictions at a buffet can be a tough to manage due to hidden ingredients and a lack of vegetarian options. Fortunately, that's not a problem at Govinda's Vegetarian Buffet, winner of "Best Vegetarian Bite" by King Estate. All the dishes at this meatless eatery are explicitly designated so that guests can safely pick up slices of gluten-free bread, cups of vegan soup, or dollops of dairy-free salad dressing. Even without the classifications, it'd be pretty hard to stray from dietary paths, as the proprietors estimate that 9 out of 10 of their daily offerings are made without dairy, gluten, or smoldering molten lava. With this in mind, customers can guiltlessly peruse the buffet table that's loaded with everything from hearty salad fixings to vegetarian-friendly Indian fare. When in season, the chefs use local, organic ingredients to prepare their health-conscious dinner entrees, including tofu lasagna, split-pea fritters, and coconut curry. To keep things even fresher than they already are, the menu changes daily, with staff serving a new entree, soups, and fresh breads every day.
The cooks at Spice & Ice temper their dishes' fiery Asian flavors with creamy gelato, made fresh every day from imported Italian ingredients. Owner Reba Worotikan draws from her time living in southeast Asia to inform her eatery's menu, which focuses on healthy preparations of Southeast-Asian favorites. Morsels of sweet 'n' sour pork or stir-fried vegetables sizzle in woks, and the grill sears chicken-satay skewers and steak served with a choice of sides, such as chili-ginger slaw. For the menu's many gluten-free options, chefs accommodate patrons by using homemade, separately stored, gluten-free sauces.

Please give more details about your system, e.g. if you're using DSL or dial-up, etc. If you're using DSL with a router (ethernet, presumably), then you need to emerge dhcpcd (if you haven't already) and then do "dhcp eth0" or eth1, eth2, whatever is appropriate. Then test the connection by doing "ping -c 3 www.yahoo.com". That should do the trick.

Drake Gets Shut Down Trying to Get into Miami Heat Locker Room [Video]
He might have LeBron James' phone number, but Drake really just needs media credentials.
Check out this video of him being denied access to the Miami Heat locker room celebration last night. When he's told access is only for media, he actually says to the security guard, "I AM media." Read More »

I had similar damage once when a lorry decided to cut me up after only a months ownership
My damage was actually even worse as you can see
As Clive says talking at least 500quids worth if you go via insurance company cause they'll use new parts n then they'll need to be sprayed
Where as if you fix it n source used parts yourself from breakers you'll do it for a fraction of the price
For example, I picked up a used bumper for 40quid locally and a used wing panel for 60quid delivered, both ready in the right colour.
Fitted the parts myself so it only cost me 100quid all in. Oh and 15quid for a new alloy centre cap. Still a lot lot less than if I'd of went through the insurance company.
I mean if your any good with a spray can you could patch that up yourself.
By the way, really sorry to hear of your misfortune.
Nothing more annoying when you receive damage to your pride n joy n you have to fork out the expense yourself, especially when it was cause by someone else's lack of concentration not looking where they are going
do you have legal cover on your policy? they would be able to recover your losses,the legal dept can often help you with recovering losses / proving fault of other party,
you'll still need to let your insurance company know (if she makes a claim against you and you've not told your insurance company they may pay out and assume you were at fault some companies don't even call or contact you to advise a claim has been made on your insurance until renewal when it will be too late to do anything about it) tell them that you are not responsible and Not to settle anything without your permission if you have comp cover and you/they can prove non fault it would not affect any NCB that you've earned also if your NCD is protected which at your age i'm guessing probably not it would just take 1 life line from your record..did you have any witnesses? are there any CCTV cameras that could have recorded the bump?..
sorry to hear about your bump and hope it all turns out right for you
Did she admit fault? If so...
If you ring your insurer and tell them you'll deal with it yourself (you have to ring them, but not yet open a claim etc).
Then talk to her insurers directly and go through them. That way you don't claim on your own insurance, and won't have to tick the 'Have you ever made a claim whether at fault or not' box next year.
That's a lucky enough result then mate.
As mentioned above though, it might still be worth mentioning to your insurance just to let them know.
My brother went into the back of a van a few years ago, minor bump really as the van braked hard for someone stepping out on to the road and my brother braked as well and just hit him and no more. They got out and had a look around and the guy in the van said no harm done and he'd be happy to leave it at that (it was a well weathered Berlingo which already had it's fair share of bumps and bruises).
Few months later my bro's renewal quote came through of £1900 or something ridiculous, he queried it and only then did his company inform him that the guy claimed about £8000 off him...claimed for two new back doors and bumper, loss of earnings, personal injury etc....scumbag. Knowing my brother I assumed this was a case of him not reading small print somewhere, or not opening a letter or something of his fault, but as Eamonn says, they can just go ahead with processing a claim against you without you even knowing.
Was in a non-fault bump myself recently (well 5months ago but only getting sorted now), car behind me was hit and shunted into me so I just needed a new rear bumper. Happened the day before my premium was due but was obligated under a duty of care of sorts to inform my insurance. My renewal premium was then scrapped and more than doubled until the incident was settled as non-fault and my full NCD reinstated, which was just two weeks ago. She accepted full liability though so my claim went through her insurance, not mine, which is why it took so long as they were a nightmare to deal with.
Some insurance companies will consider even non-fault accidents when calculating your premium, but luckily for me in this instance the company who were giving the best price didn't consider it so I'm being refunded the difference between what I paid and my initial renewal premium quote.
Good to hear bud. Hard to swallow paying out on somethin not your fault but as they say, always could have been worse.
Keep us posted sure on the repairs.

Every two years, the Commission on Social Witness (CSW) receives proposals from congregations and districts and specified Unitarian Universalist Association (UUA) sponsored organizations for Congregational Study/Action Issues (CSAIs), each hoping theirs will be selected and will eventually result in a UUA Statement of Conscience. The Study and Action Process was created to uphold our principles and to engage Unitarian Universalists (UUs) in the articulation of our conscience on pressing social justice issues. The process is initiated by congregations, districts, and specified UUA sponsored organizations and culminates with the delegates at General Assembly (GA). The CSW facilitates transitions from one phase to the next.
After three years of study and action on a CSAI, the General Assembly delegates may adopt a Statement of Conscience (SOC) on the subject. It is the product of countless hours of thought, collaboration, and dedication. During the year following adoption of a SOC, congregations and UUA staff will work to implement the SOC and report their results to the following General Assembly. Adopted Statements of Conscience focus the efforts of congregations and other UU groups on the topic of the SOC, shape the meaning of contemporary Unitarian Universalism, and empower the UUA staff to lobby our positions in pending legislation.

Recap: Raekwon Unveils "Lost Jewlry" Mixtape at Listening Session/Q&A
This article was posted by ColaP 2 years, 1 week, 4 days, 5 hours, 56 minutes ago.
Last week, in a quiet and unassuming building on the fringes of Brooklyn, Wu-Tang veteran Raekwon shared his latest EP, Lost Jewlry, with a slew of eager fans. Held in the PNC Radio studio space, and hosted by PNC and Charged.FM, the Chef gave a preview of his mixtape, which released yesterday. The small studio, brimming with photographers, up-and-coming rappers, and music enthusiasts, overlooked stunning views of the Brooklyn Bridge, Williamsburg Bridge, and FDR Drive. It was at once intimate, and grand.
The listening session began with a set by DJ Ernie B, and was soon followed by an up-close-and-personal conversation with the Chef, who rapped along with his tracks, and gave some insights into their origins. The title of the EP, he reasons, was chosen because each song is a "scrap of gold."
The artist goes on to acknowledge his roots: "I came from a powerful team, but really I'm just an emcee." No stranger to the rap world, Rae hopes (and feels obligated) to lead young rappers in the right direction. "Gotta stay humble, gotta grow up and not get too caught up in the bullshit," he says. "My job as a big brother is to school you, make you a better man later on."
Check out photos from the event above and be sure to download Rae's new EP here!

Hi, Ive recently become hooked on Palms and someone has given me some seeds.
ive got seeds for Cuban Royal palm and Chilean wine palm. i have never grown anything from seeds and figured i'd try and give it a go lol, ive looked up what to do online and understand soaking the seeds and using fungicide but theres alot of different methods after that. So any advice for the next step would be greatly appreciated. |

The baggy method is very cost effective and has worked for me. Also, I purchased one of those germination stations with bottom heat at a local home improvement store and it works very well. Bottom heat at about 70-80 degrees F is very helpful while germinating palm seeds. I havnt germinated Chilean wine palm seeds yet but i heard they can take along time, so be patient. Cuban Royal seeds in my experience pop right up. Good luck... and welcome to the hooked on palm club! |

go buy a big big bag of patience lol. Ive has some in the heated prop almost 2 months now with nothing. dont know much about those paticular types but alot of palms seeds can take awhile. |

thanks tropicbreezent, Does anyone have any advice on the type of fungicide to use on the seeds. The places ive gone to in melbourne the range of fungicides are usually aimed at Black spot and Scale and i have not found one specifically or even mentioning seeds. Are these fungicides ok to use? or what should i look for in a fungicide? |
- Posted by Hazey_Matt none (My Page) on Thu, Dec 20, 12 at 3:22
today i just found one of the seeds in a zip lock back has grown mold all over it. didnt know whether to remove all the other seeds but i just took out the moldy one and sprayed the others down with fungicide |
Hi That is the problem I've had with the zip method. Another is damping after germination. Now just use clay pots out door in the shade with coir . Does seem to take longer but feel the seedlings are much stronger . Palm growers are VERY patient lol gary |
- Posted by tropicbreezent (My Page) on Tue, Dec 25, 12 at 10:55
I use a bit of sphagnum moss in the ziplock bags with the seeds. Never seems to get any mould or fungus. The sphagnum seems to inhibit it. I've currently got some Nypa seeds that have been in the sphagnum for over 4 months now without a problem. |
- Posted by miketropic 6B - 7 (My Page) on Tue, Dec 25, 12 at 22:51
don't have a mold problem but I see my last post in here was nov 21..since then the seeds have done nothing..im almost 3 months in with 3 differant types and not a seed one has popped |
- Posted by Hazey_Matt none (My Page) on Tue, Dec 25, 12 at 23:37
Hey, Ive had a little bit of a mold issue in two of them bags so i transfered away from the bag method and went with containers with lids. None of the seeds i have bought had done anything as of yet. 2 cycad seeds have produced green root type sprouts and all the date palms i collected myself have all produced roots but that is all. i have basically sat the seeds on a vermiculite/peat mix and slighted pushed down so the seed is still mostly exposed but basically on top of the mix. not sure if this is correct way to do this or not |
- Posted by tropicbreezent (My Page) on Wed, Dec 26, 12 at 0:45
Depending on which cycads they are, you'll find some put down a very long root nearly a year before the first frond starts. If the pot isn't deep enough the root will come out the bottom. It happens with some palms as well, nothing happens above the ground until the first root is well established. Some people use a large plastic soft drink bottle (inverted) with the bottom cut out. The root can go a long way down without there having to be a lot of soil. |
- Posted by Hazey_Matt none (My Page) on Wed, Dec 26, 12 at 3:02
cycas revoluta i believe. im happy that two have sprouted cause atleast they have done something!. lol The Palms are pretty much doing nothing since being placed where they are. all except the date palms which since letting a long root havent changed. |

Worship with us!
Sunday mornings: 8:15a.m. – Calvary Connection in the Chapel
10:30 a.m. – Traditional Worship in the Sanctuary
In addition, there are liturgical special days of worship, such as Ash Wednesday, All Saints Day, Holy Thursday, and Good Friday. There are generally worship services on Wednesday night during Lent.
When and what worship services are offered at Calvary United Methodist Church?
8:15 a.m. Calvary Connection Worship Service - held in the Chapel
10:30 a.m. Traditional Worship Service - held in the Sanctuary
Calvary Connection is a Sunday morning worship service that strives to connect people with God and with one another. A praise band leads in the singing of contemporary worship songs and hymns. This service is informal-allowing for casual dress and interaction among the congregants-yet we strive to create an authentic worship experience through preaching and the reading of Scripture. The sacrament of Communion is offered each week at the Calvary Connection service.

I am new at gardening and I'm enjoying it a lot. I started with herbs and my plants are growing fast and strong. After all my successes I got excited and I purchased Curry plant seeds (Murraya koenigii) They came dry, the instructions said that I had to plant them in soil (either in a pot or directly in the garden where I wanted them to grow) at 3/4 inch deep. In a sunny spot or if in a pot, under lights. And it said that it takes 6 to 8 weeks to germinate.
I planted about 6 in my window still indoors and other 6 under lights. After 6 weeks I grew impatient and dug out one of the seeds I had in my window still and nothing, the seed was wet, but not puffy or anything. I did the same with the one under lights. The seeds looked exactly the same as dry, but wet. It's been 8 weeks now and I dug out another seed, and it was the same as before. Has any of you had any success at growing Murraya koenigii from seed?? Do you have any suggestions for me? Thanks!! |
Follow-Up Postings:
Where did you get the seeds from? |
Also, it seems the viability for this seed is short lived, so start from very fresh seeds or go with cuttings or seedlings instead. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Growing Murraya Konegii From Seed
I have posted some information about how to germinate Curry plant(Mrraya Koenigii) seeds. Please search my postings by entering chaman in GW search engine and go thru threads for Murraya koeniggii or curry plant. You will get many pstings from fellow gardeners on these threads. |
miracleplants: It is easier to grow the plants from green seeds just before they start ripening.Pick up some seeds, remove the green seed cover carefully by sharp blade or knife and plant it,preferably in the pot and maintain the temperature at about 80 degrees F.Seeds will germinate in about 3 weeks.If you have indoor kind plants you can sow the seeds in these pots. Seeds will germinate in little more than 3 weeks. Success rate is almost 100%. In about 2 years plant will be about one foot tall. What you are talking about as shoots from the roots are called suckers. |

Immune Tolerance in the GUT Relies on Dendritic Cells
The differing origins of gut dendritic cells — white blood cells that modulate immune responses — may explain how the intestinal immune system manages to destroy harmful pathogens while tolerating beneficial bacteria says an article by Sophie Laffont & Fiona Powrie in Nature journal out on Dec 10th 2009.
The immune system must protect the body from invading pathogens without mounting damaging responses to its own tissues. Dendritic cells, a rare population of white blood cells, have a crucial role in determining the nature of immune reactions and in fine-tuning the balance between tolerance (where the immune system ignores or tolerates an antigen) and the induction of inflammation to destroy pathogenic organisms.Dendritic cells are important when considering the role of immunonutrition and the application of probiotics as therapy, as this family of cells has the discriminatory ability to define friend from foe and direct overall adaptive as well as innate immune responses.
Pioneering work by Steinman and colleagues in the early 1970s identified a minor population of immune cells that they named dendritic cells on the basis of their stellate shape and membranous processes. These cells were shown to be potent stimulators of another population of white blood cells, T cells.
Dendritic cells are strategically placed within mucosal sites in the body, where they can detect infection and take up microbial antigens. On activation, these cells migrate to secondary lymphoid tissue, such as the lymph nodes, where they present the antigen to T cells. This activates the T cells, causing them to differentiate into effector cells that eradicate the pathogen. In the intestine, dendritic cells also promote regulatory T-cell responses that suppress immune reactions against beneficial commensal bacteria and food antigens, thereby preventing immune-related disease. Thus, intestinal dendritic cells are decision makers, ensuring selection of a T-cell response that is appropriate to the nature of the challenge to the immune system.[1]
Keeping dendritic cells healthy and proportionate to response is one the mechanisms, favoured by the hygeine strategy to modulate local and systemic immune tolerance. The use of specific probiotics have demonstrated the ability to mature DC's to promote the production of IL-10 and help maintain a position of immune unresponsiveness in the gastrointestinal and other tissues. These are sometimes called regulatory DC's as they promote the creation of regulatory T cells and also assist in self tissue sampling reducing the risk of allergy and autoimmunity.[2],[3]

2 Responses to "Immune Tolerance in the GUT Relies on Dendritic Cells"
I will be grateful for answers to the following questions:
v.1) IS initiation is an important problem. Presently two theorems are proposed self-nonself and danger theory . Danger theory solves some problems in self-nonself theory e.g. lactation, pregnancy but is the correct theory one of them or a hybrid of them?v.2) If danger is the only mechanism for IS initiation then what is the difference between autoimmunity and hypersensitivity? After all both are pathogenic immune responses to ,normally, tolerated substances and cells.
v.3) The rejection of the second pregnancy due to Rh differences between fetus and mother , one thinks, poses a serious problem to self-nonself theory. But why the second pregnancy and not the first one is rejected. An answer is proposed that the danger signals result from the first child "birth". But one thinks that in this case the way of the birth (whether normal or cesarean) is expected to affect the duration of the second pregnancy before it fails (normal first birth gives a longer duration for the second pregnancy duration). Does this agree or disagree with observation?
v.4) In anaphylaxes two mechanisms seem to be broken, the first is tolerance and the second is the control mechanism of the immune response. The immune response in the case of anaphylaxes may cause death!! The simultaneous breakdown of two mechanisms seems quite puzzling.
Thank you for your help

BC HR Tribunal awards $900 in costs against former employee who tried to resile from settlement agreement
In Edwards v. Schnitzer Steel Pacific, 2012 BCHRT 335, the BC Human Rights Tribunal:
- granted the employer's application to dismiss the former employee's human rights complaint under section 27(1)(d)(ii) of the BC Human Rights Code; and
- awarded the employer $900 in costs due to the fact that the former employee had tried to resile from a settlement agreement that he had previously entered into, with the assistance of his lawyer, with the employer.
Ontario court confirms that employee with "anger management issues" not disabled under Code
In Gulick v. Ottawa Police Service, 2012 ONSC 5536, the Ontario Superior court confirmed that an employee with "anger management issues" was not disabled for the purposes of the Ontario Human Rights Code and thus not entitled to accommodation.
Specifically, the court stated the following in this case, which involved the dismissal of a police officer:
[15] While the incident giving rise to the disciplinary hearing did involve
some consumption of alcohol and medications, the Hearing Officer found as a
fact that the incident was triggered by anger management issues with which the
applicant had been struggling for several years. The Hearing Officer found
that alcohol was, at most, an exacerbating factor. We are not aware of any
jurisprudence which has established that anger management issues will support a
finding of disability.

And while the tower looms beyond their living room, the couple arent bothered at all. Were always mindful of that terrible tragedy, Goldman says. But, at the same time, were excited to be part of the rejuvenation of lower Manhattan.
The couple moved in four years ago, spurred in part by tax incentives offered to coax homeowners to return to a neighborhood that was heavily damaged on September 11, 2001. At the time, Goldman was pregnant with the couples second child. In addition to their toddler son, Huxton, Schupfer also had two older children from a previous marriage, Max and Uma. Their two-bedroom apartment in Chelsea was bursting at the seams.

One of the reasons why an in floor heating plan can be such a great thing to use is that it will involve less heat being required in a home. It will be easier for you to feel comfortable and warm when you are in an area that is warmer at its floor. This can help you save money in the long run on your energy bills.
However, a thermostat for in floor heating must be seen carefully. This must make it so your heating system can be adjusted carefully and will not work harder than it needs to.
Where Do Sensors Go?
The thermostat for in floor heating must work with a series of sensors to get it managed properly. A series of sensors can be used around a thermostat to help ensure that an accurate temperature is ready. People can get these sensors to work quickly in different spots in the middle of a room. This is used to keep something that is attractive and easy to manage without any issues.
What Controls are Used?
A great thermostat for in floor heating can be easy to manage for your in floor heating area. A good thermostat can include many features:
• It can support a 120 or 240V power series. These are the two standard voltage levels that can be used here.
• You can get a thermostat to work with specific temperature controls. The digital readout on a control will be easy for anyone to manage.
• You can adjust the temperature of your area based on the time of day. Some of the more advanced in floor heating thermostats can be adjusted with different temperature levels at different times. This can work well if you are in an area where the temperature can quickly change or you will not be in an area for a while and can allow the floor to be a little cooler for a bit of time.
• The buttons on the thermostat will be easy to manage. You can quickly adjust your temperature and other features to ensure that things are managed carefully. This should help you out with ensuring that you will get your items controlled as carefully as possible so you can feel more comfortable in your own home.
How Much Space?
The last thing to find for your thermostat is to see the amount of space that a thermostat can cover. A good thermostat for in floor heating can handle at least two hundred square feet of space. This is great but it will cost more money for you to get the larger applications managed even though the cost per square foot will be lower.
You should see how you can get a great thermostat to work for your in floor heating needs. It will not be an issue to get a thermostat to read out proper temperatures. It can be easy to adjust a thermostat just as well. Just be sure that you watch for the area that the items will be arranged on so you can find something attractive and easy to handle.

The importance and the complexity of cross-sector collaboration in solving major issues in food and agriculture is no stranger to me.
This Thursday, January 30, 20 lucky students from the UC Davis Graduate School of Management (GSM) will fly to Omaha, Neb., to meet one of the wealthiest and most influential men in business: Mr. Warren Buffett. As a first-year student in the Sacramento Part-Time MBA program, I am very fortunate to have this grand opportunity to meet one of the most successful businessmen in history.
Imagine three days in which you meet one amazing entrepreneur after another and leave inspired enough to almost quit b-school to launch your own startup. That's what I found at Ignite 2014, which had the inspiring tagline, Fueling Tomorrow's Entrepreneurs. The conference was hosted by the Graduate School of Management and organized in collaboration with Rice University.
On Friday, January 31, the seventh group of UC Davis MBA students had the once-in-a-lifetime chance to travel to Omaha to meet Warren Buffett. It was an experience I will never forget.
Global population has passed 7 billion people, and by 2050 we will have 9 billion people on our planet. We live in a world where many people are food secure, and the world actually grows enough food for all of us. But that extra 2 billion people are a looming challenge in the food, ag and health industry.
In addition, the food and ag sector faces challenges in climate change, loss of biodiversity, and energy and land use. There is an increasing need for the industry to balance society's growing need for food with agriculture's harmful effects on the environment.
The third and final day of the Ag Innovation Entrepreneurship Academy was dedicated to giving the budding entrepreneurs the tools and mentorship they need to make the leap.
Spring break at UC Davis is upon us, and for some it's a time for spray-on tans or traveling south for an MTV beach party. For 20 MBA students from the Graduate School of Management, it will be a rare opportunity to meet one of the most sage business minds today: Mr. Warren Buffett.
The Oracle of Omaha has graciously invited a group of UC Davis MBA students back again this year to join other MBA students for a visit in his hometown. The itinerary includes tours of Berkshire Hathaway's Nebraska Furniture Outlet and Borsheims Fine Jewelry, Q&A with the Oracle himself, a steak lunch with Mr. Buffett, and dinner with our Assistant Dean James Stevens. Deep-pocketed investors have bid as much as $2.63 million for a chance to dine with Warren Buffett, so we're very grateful for such an amazing opportunity.
Friday, March 30, 2012, marked the sixth time UC Davis MBA students have been invited to rub shoulders with Mr. Warren Buffett in his hometown of Omaha, Nebraska. For the 20 students this year, like the others before, it was the opportunity of a lifetime.

I'm about to commence a total tear-off and re-roof on my 1880's upstate NY Victorian. From the HUGE attic, the original slats and underside of the cedar shakes are still visible (and beautiful, *sob*). It is my understanding that these original cedar roofs were able to "breathe". None of the older homes from this period or earlier that I have owned had venting of any kind. Of course, the cedar can no longer breathe, since 4 layers of shingles have been nailed on top.
The roof has 4 large gables. Two contractors have quoted the job, and both included ridge vents, but no soffit vents. I called one back and he'll add 24 3" vent disks to the eaves for $325. But I've just come from the attic and there's floor boards right to the edge of the roof all around, so the eave vents won't fly without cutting though the floor as well, and I feel things are getting out of hand. I store all kinds of stuff up there. We've lived here for a year now, and it looks like this attic has done fine for 125 years without vents. There's a temp/humidity-controlled window fan with flaps installed, but it only runs on 90-degree+, sunny days in summer, and the only source of air for the fan is are the leaks in all the windows up there and a vent installed thru the attic door that pulls air from the house. We have no A/C, so there's always open windows during the summer. So, back to my original question: Do I really need ridge and soffit venting? My research indicates I shouldn't have one without the other. I'd love to save the money and put it in the garden where I'm sure to enjoy it more! And if I DO need venting, any ideas for alternatives to these round eave vents that might not work for me? And please, not box vents? I think they're ugly. It's a beautiful home! Thanks! |
Follow-Up Postings:
First of all, everything I've read says you need vents at the bottom (eaves or other) and at the top (ridge or gable or other vents) to keep from trapping ambient moisture from the air in yuur attic, thus making your ceiling insulation less effective and creating an excellent incubator for mold and mildew. I saw one alternative to eave vents in (I think) Fine Homebuilding Magazine. It is a 1/2" thick vent 'mat' laid between two of the lower layers of shingles. A horizontal slot is cut in the roofing underlayment to enable the top of the vent mat to duct outside air into the attic. Basically the same principle as the ridge vent, only on the inlet end of the airflow. |
Lack of venting in an attic will cause several problems. Higher heating/cooling costs, much shorter life of roofing materials, and build up of nasty smells/mold/etc. in the space. Your research is correct---a ridge vent without Adequate soffit venting is useless. Since you have venting---the fan is a vent system----it seems to me adding a couple inlets---with flaps activated by the suction of the fan---will provide all the venting the space needs. Just make sure you install screens on all the openings to keep out critters and debris. |

If you live up north maybe and maybe not. If the house has lasted that long with out any ice daming and roof rot I'd not be too concerned. I lived in a house that was built back in 1826 in Ct and it had no roof vents at all. There was never any kind of rot at all. We just opened the windows all summer and it was fine. I now live in Florida and have 2 solar vents in the roof and two 120v fans on either end of the gables one pulling air in and one out. I have no eve vents and I have insulation right up to the eves. This house has been here since 1923 and with all my improvements it should last till the next ice age. Your biggest concern is ice daming and eve rot from snow build up. If you have this problem you might wish to fix the problem but if not save your money |
"If the house has lasted that long with out any ice daming and roof rot I'd not be too concerned. I lived in a house that was built back in 1826 in Ct and it had no roof vents at all." The attics in these houses probably leaked air like a sieve. |
Our 1894 Victorian cottage did not have soffit vents per se, between the soffit & the wall (I can't for the life of me think of the name of the trim there) There was a 1/2" gap all the way along the soffit. From what I understand this was the venting. A restoration contractor I was speaking to now does his venting in this style, not just for soffits but beneath porches etc. He has had to train the building inspectors but they now accept this as proper restoration technique. |
Gaps in the soffit (usually near the fascia) or between the roof deck and the top of the fascia were used for years as the roof ventilation area. The code only says how much free area is required. It does not specify how it is to be designed. |

Healthcare Town Hall meetings- you may or may not have been to one but they seem to be the trend of today. Most of our elected officials appear to be courting their constituents and hosting these hall meetings as a way to get our thoughts and opinions on the President's healthcare reform plan. Well, I say why wait for them (the politicians) to come to us to get our thoughts and opinions- we're gonna have our own virtual town hall meeting on the issue. This will prevent the unnecessary hoopla that can turn a civilized meeting into a circus act-we're not going to have shouting, microphone grabbing, or cell phone calls to interrupt our train of thought.
I'll start by saying I still do not have a clear picture of what all is taking place under this plan. I've heard that I will get to keep my insurance if I like it, but if not then what, the government is going to provide equal or better insurance? Will this healthcare reform eliminate the problem of the health insurance industry being run like a business rather than a service? Personally I think the healthcare industry needs some reform, but until I have the clear details I don't know if this specific plan is the best one.
Next person, the floor is yours. Give us your thoughts on the plan: What are you concerned with? What would you like to know more about?
Your Comments(please keep them on topic and polite)
I admit I don't know a lot about the health-care debate, but I worry that if we don't do something about the cost of health-care, our overall economy will suffer. I wish their was a way to pass reforms that do not include a government take-over of health-care. Government run anything, is not a good idea. Thanks for your blog and keep up the good work
I am strongly opposed to the government getting its fingers into healthcare. First, healthcare is a responsibility for individuals and parents not government. Second, to help cut costs, lawsuits need reigning in, "pain and suffering" is a part of life and doctors are human. they need to be responsibile for their mistakes, but not in millions of dollars. Third, the government needs to show it can actually reduce our debt not increase it. Get back to basics and Christians need to get back on our knees before God and be obedient to his will and pray for those in authority over us as well as make our voice heard to our represenitives.
We'd be better off keeping the health-care system we have. What we need is TORT reform and a better way of keeping track of fraud in Medicare and Medicaid. That's the only thing that's going to drive down costs.
I think if Ted Kennedy had any other health-care than what he got in this country, he would have died of brain cancer a long time ago. If we truly want to honor the legacy of the late senior Senator from the Commonwealth of Massachusettes, then lets pass Teddy-Care, a free-market-based health-care system that keeps people coming to this country and not Canada for their health-care needs.

The Queue: The final salvo in dogs versus cats {WoW}
Mar 26th 2010 1:27PM If you ask me this whole global warming thing is a load of bullshit. I'm not saying climate change doesn't happen, climate change fluctuates NATURALLY in earth's history. A bunch of warming and cooling trends that happens for one reason or another. What I'm calling bullshit on, is the idea that we are the cause. There is no real evidence supporting that the warming trend is caused by human hands.
I wouldn't trust what the environmentalists say, they're idiots. I mean, back in the 60's they claimed that by 2010 that earth would be an uninhabitable sludge pit from pollution. Also, If given a choice to save a human life or a tree, they would pick the tree. They don't give a flying fuck about the human race. If they have the chance to stop us from burning fossil fuels completely, knowing that it will collapse the global economy resulting from everything from civil wars, mass starvation, and that it could lead to collapse of civilization, they would do it. Global warming is just a scare tactic to get people to do what they want.

The Lawbringer: Interfering with gold farmers {WoW}
Mar 22nd 2010 1:29PM Like BadBoy myself. (Plug ins for blocking lvl 1 characters, and ANAL spam are available too :D )
OT (because I rather not do two separate posts).
There was a thread on mmo-champion a little while ago about gold sellers. Basically, the OP account was hacked and he was pointing the blame on the gold buyers for fueling the demand for gold selling and account hacking.
People were admitting to being gold buyers, and their justifications for gold buying were sickening. Their sense of entitlement was horrifying. One claimed he doesn't have the time to make gold because he has a full time job and a family, simply the "I have a life excuse," so he buys gold to cover the cost for repairs and flasks for when he raids. He went on saying it was too hard to make gold, then he ironically called people who make gold the right way as no-lifers, leaching off of welfare.
Making gold is no means hard or time consuming, I can make 150gold a day just by half-assing the argent tournament dailies. More than enough to cover the cost of repairs and flasks for a night of raiding.
Personally, I think people forget that WoW isn't a game of instant gratification. I mean, no one can roll a new character 1-80 and use that same character in a ICC 25 raid inside a hour, but I've seen plenty of people who seem to think that way. -.-
The Queue: The dating game {WoW}
Mar 18th 2010 1:32PM My guild does the same thing. My main has the normal "raider" rank with 3 stacks a day limit in my current guild. All of my alts, even my paladin that I play almost as much as my main toon, Has a "raider alt" rank with no guild bank access. In order to get the expensive, high-end shit (primordial saronite, titan steel, epic gems, BoE epics, etc.), I have to ask our officers on the guild website.
Also, my guild requires an authenticator when people app, and it's mandatory for membership. When I applied, I was required to show them a picture of myself holding an authenticator and a sales receipt for mine. Now after 3.3 we ask our trails to show us their corehound pup before they get invited to a trail run through 10man ToGC (gearing alts and off specs).
Good reason too for the security, GB bank is valued to be worth 50-75k gold. A lot of high-end matts, BoE epics, flasks and other raid consumables. (Also because top 400 guilds are srs bsnss)
[1.Local ]: Screaming over Hellscream's Warsong {WoW}
Mar 14th 2010 7:51PM I really don't understand this "It's my $15 a month so I am entitled to see all the end-game content" mentality that some people have. Here is the thing if you attend college are you entitled a 4.0 GPA because you pay tuition? Also, I don't get is why call people who want to work for it epeen flexers and elitists.
I do understand that casual players want to see all the content, and for whatever reason they can't, maybe you have the lack of time or you're struggling to find a decent guild that can do it.
However, most causal players forget that MMOs isn't really that kind of genre that can be completely experienced in with minimal time and effort. ((I know what some of you are thinking, but please hear me out. Also, please have an open mind.)) I'm not saying it can't be done, but doing something like killing Arthas takes some time and effort.
Clearing raids isn't meant to be like clearing five mans. Raids are supposed to provide a challenge that you and 9 or 24 of your closest friends work together to overcome. Downing a hard boss is supposed to be rewarding in its own right. After struggling since the plaugeworks opened up, when my guild finally downed Professor Putricide on 10 man last week we felt like we did something we were giddy the rest of the night. We felt proud of our [The Plagueworks (10 player] achievement.
Blizzard has done a great job in opening up the endgame. It's no longer this exclusive hardcore-only club that it used to be. Run heroics, get teir 9, PUG ToC and VoA for better gear or join a casual raiding guild, learn your class, and have patience during progression raids. You WILL wipe--a lot, but that's apart of the experience. Blizzard opened the door, you just have to step inside
As for this ICC buff, I kinda wish blizzard rewards players something a little extra for not accepting the buff (also, I wish it would buff pets too >.>). Other than that I have no problems with it, I don't get why people do care so much.
Drama Mamas: Wake-up call to guild officers {WoW}
Mar 12th 2010 12:50PM My guild is facing a similar problem. We're hitting a wall at Professor Putricide. Despite numerous attempts and the ICC buff, since the wing opened up we can't seem to kill putricide. A guild can only with stand those soul-crushing 1-5% wipes for so long before it starts effecting morale. We're starting to struggle of fights we had to problem on before!
I'm not an officer, but I want to help. However, I don't know how I can do it. I simply don't have the language to give a good pep talk. Only way I can see to get us getting motivated again is if we down Putricide. -.-
Mastery System Preview {WoW}
Mar 9th 2010 2:18PM I'm excited for the telent/stats overhaul.
I bet every single one of us has at least one talent he would love to put points into, but can't because you loose DPS, HPS, or survivability. Those fun talents or abilities you want to have for one reason for another, but your cookie cutter spec wont allow it (usually).
As a unholy death knight I would love to pick up these talents but can't because they're a DPS loss.
-Corpse Explosion. We all have this guy in our raid, the guy that always dies first. I like use this on a certain rogue in my guild that falls under that description. As he's waiting for a rez I blow him to kingdom come. Also, it just looks and sounds cool. :P
-On a Pale Horse. 20% mounted speed increase. Why should you dirty pallies have all the fun?
-Improved Unholy Presence. 15% speed increase outside of unholy presence. useful in fights with a lot of movement. Also great for getting out of Icehowl's way in ToGC.
