This is my first ever tree. It's growing lovely so far. However today when I was checking the soil I noticed that the roots (very fine) are growing up into the top part of the soil instead of growing down below the soil. I thought maybe I had piled too much soil at the base, so I just lightly removed some of the soil and added fresh rotted bark mulch, just enough to cover those very fine roots.
Will my tree be okay? Why do the roots grow like this? Can someone please shed a little light on this for me? Thank you all. |

I'm not sure I understand either the problem, nor the solution. I might need a pic. Was the soil level above the root flare? tj |
Yes,you've got it. The soil level was above the root flare. |
- Posted by tsugajunkie z5 SE WI (My Page) on Wed, Apr 13, 11 at 18:50
Depending upon a) how deep the root flare is, b) how big the tree is and c) how long ago it was planted, I would consider raising the plant (in late fall) up to its proper elevation. tj |

Quoted Text i thought coconut is excellent for thyroid?
Quoted Text Dr D I don't like the effects of one of the main constituents (lauric acid) on the cytochrome CYP4A subfamily (CYP4A11) when used by certain BT/GTs; in particular liver peroxisomal oxidation, which is about the last thing one needs in this world. Dr. Enig is a fine lipid chemist, but has a tendency to think coconut oil is just wonderful in everyone. Some people don't do as well as others running a soap through their bile ducts.
Quoted from Spazcat I just realized coconut oil is an avoid for the A's in my family and since I don't know secreter status of my O kids, could be an avoid for some of them as well. Bummer. Need a cooking oil that would be compliant for all of us...
Quoted from la fille how do you swami?
Quoted from la fille what is involved?
Quoted from la fille and what is a nonnie hunter?
Quoted from la fille this is so confusing!! it seems that food changes from being an avoid to something you can have depending on what program you follow.....how can that be?
Quoted from Wholefoodie Why not olive oil? Beneficial for everyone.
Quoted from grey rabbit Coconut oil is a superfood on my swami, I don't know if your children are old enough to be swamiied.
Quoted from Spazcat How old do you have to be to get "swamied"?
Quoted from KimonoKat Rice Bran Oil. It also has a very high cook point. And, it tastes great. I find I don't like foods cooked in anything else.Not many stores carry it but it's easy to buy online. We buy by the FIVE GALLON and transfer it to empty glass Gerolsteiner bottles and store it in the freezer.
Quoted from 28260 Hi all - I live in the Pacific on a small island surrounded by all things coconut! The Nu (juice) is a staple in my diet as is the flesh - fresh not cooked - although I don't use the oil much except for my skin. What is the exact issue with the coconut for Os - is it only the oil or the flesh AND the juice as everything points to it being wonderful and has not affected me adversely to my knowledge.Thanks

"That was a real boom," she effuses, snapping her fingers. "I've made a lot of compromises in my life, but when I saw Neubauten, there was totally no compromise. I don't remember exactly what their setup was on stage, but there may have been drills and sledgehammers involved. It was just ridiculously loud, crazy. That was when I realized I had to stop what I was doing and go to Berlin."
Savage had done some audio engineering in England, so she sent a resumé to the world-famous Hansa Studios in Berlin. To her surprise, they hired her, so she packed up immediately and left for Germany. Her first day on the job was, tragically, Neubauten's last day there finishing up a recording. But she didn't have to wait long for more luminaries of the underground to walk through the door and forever alter her life.
"Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds booked the studio, and I got assigned to them," she says of working on 1990's The Good Son. "I was overjoyed, even though I wound up not getting credited on that record. They were just there for a week doing basic tracks. One morning, I remember, Nick walked in, and I was sitting there with a guitar working on a song. And he said, 'Oh, you've got a song. Sing me a song.' And I was like, 'No, I don't think so,' and got up and started working. I just could not sing for Nick Cave.
"Later," she continues, "Nick was going to come back to the studio to do some piano overdubs, and he asked if I would engineer that. But I got sick, and I couldn't do it. It was the night the [Berlin] Wall came down. They had to take me in an ambulance to the hospital, and I heard it on the radio. I thought I was dying; for a couple of days, I was pretty sure that was going to be it. I had a strep infection, plus I was smoking and drinking and doing a lot of speed at the time. I was definitely pushing it, the way I was living."
Soon after recovering, Savage was almost laid up again -- by shock. One day at the studio, the Edge and Adam Clayton of U2 walked in, scouting places to record their epochal album Achtung Baby. But Savage, a longtime U2 fan, wasn't looking for an autograph: She wound up working on Achtung Baby for six months, scoring an assistant-engineer credit on the disc.
"I went to see U2 in Munich after Achtung Baby came out, and Bono asked about my music," she recalls. "He said, 'You know, I think it would be interesting if you went into the studio with Mick Harvey.' It's like he knew that was my dream. And he said he'd pay for it."
Savage called up the Bad Seeds' Harvey, who enthusiastically agreed to record with her, even roping bandmate Hugo Race into the project. The result comprises the first four songs on Matter of Time. The Bad Seeds influence is pervasive; "Whiskey Well" is a folklore-like parable about spirits, both liquid and phantasmal, and the title track is a loping, tribal threnody with swooning chord changes and Savage's husky, spoken-sung delivery.
Emboldened, Savage began trying to secure a record deal with the Bad Seeds demo but recieved nothing more than half-baked offers and flat-out rejections. "It was a very frustrating, awful time," she says.
To make matters worse, she started undergoing a musical identity crisis. "By this time I had become alt-country," she explains. "Only we were just calling it 'country.' Much to my embarrassment, I had not heard Hank Williams until I lived in Berlin. I remember being in the pub, and this music came on. I was like, "Who's this?' And the bartender said, 'Zis is Hank Villiams. You don't know Hank Villiams?' That's the idiot in me; I had to go to Germany to hear Hank Williams. I was hit by this recognition, this homesickness for America, for the Deep South."
After recording songs with Alex Hacke of Einstürzende Neubauten for a German documentary, it was time for another relocation -- to Austin, Texas. But as Savage notes, her transition into American alternative culture wasn't a smooth one: "Berlin was like a little village full of people who wore black, just like me. Germany is such a heavy place; everyone grows up in the shadow of World War II. There are a lot of heavy battles taking place inside of people; there are ghosts everywhere. I loved that. I've been fighting demons for as long as I can remember, and everyone's fighting demons there.
"And then I went to Austin," she adds, rolling her eyes, "where people were having demons tattooed on their faces."
Fed up with Texas, Savage returned to Denver in 2001. But her eight years back in the States have not been fruitless ones. In that time, she gave up drinking and became born again, an epiphany that she describes as "a total head trip; no one was expecting that less than me." Then an acquaintance with famed producer and recording artist Daniel Lanois led to sessions at his studio in Los Angeles, which resulted in four songs on Matter of Time. But one of these -- "Darlin'," a hushed, languid folk tune that sounds like the Velvet Underground's "Sunday Morning" as read by Gillian Welch -- ended up being released years before Savage's new disc.

After nearly four months of construction and consolidation, Billings Catholic Schools opened the doors Monday to its new early-childhood education program center.
While the little red building on Custer Avenue is reminiscent of an old one-room schoolhouse, it represents a new future for early-childhood education for the school system, said Bruce Knudsen, school board member and head of the early education task force.
"Our early-education program is an important part of Billings Catholic Schools," Knudsen said. "The new center will allow us to better focus our resources to have the best possible program for our kids."
The building, which sits adjacent to St. Francis Primary and the Holy Rosary Parish, previously served as office space. The remodeled building now accommodates a learning environment for 39 students, pre-kindergarten care and afterschool care ages 3 to 12 years. The center is full to capacity with a wait list of about 17 students.
Students on Monday were excited to share their thoughts about their new schoolhouse. One student said she loved the colorful walls and open space, while another he was excited about the new toys and puzzles.
The three classrooms are painted with a palette of bright colors and the walls are lined with shelves filled with books, puzzles, games, toys and arts and crafts supplies.
A study area in the back of the building is designated for afterschool students to concentrate on homework.
"The building renovations were designed to fulfill the needs of our students," Knudsen said. "But we also focused on creating a space they would be excited to come into — a real feeling of being alive with great energy."
Knocked-down walls, widened doorways, painted walls and new flooring — the renovations were also part of a major overhaul of the early-childhood education program.
In 2009, the program began to lose money and attendance while operating costs jumped. A task force was formed, and after years of evaluation, the school system made a decision in May to combine its four preschool and day care centers around town to one location.
"We were searching for solutions of how to make the program more successful," Knudsen said. "But it was more than just trying to get away from a troubled program. We were seeking ways to improve it and make it the best we can."
Karen Petermann, St. Francis Primary principal and director of early-childhood education, said the program is integral because it is the foundation of students' catholic education.
"Our goal is to provide a high-quality education from the ground up, all the way through high school," Petermann said. "The consolidation will help us foster a smooth transition for students from preschool into kindergarten. It will also strengthen the program's lesson planning and programming."
Sue Saks, the program manager, said the program is designed specifically to meet the children's developmental needs. Groups of students are stationed for 20-minute intervals at program blocks that include story time, arts and crafts, singing, games, dramatic play and hands-on learning activities.
System president Harold Olson said the management of facilities and operations will be more effective and efficiently managed at one site, allowing teachers and staff to focus on the education and care of the students.
Before the consolidation, the early-childhood program was staffed by 39 people, Olson said. At the new center, the program has a reduced staff of 12, six of whom are full-time.
The primary modification of the program is that it no longer provides infant care or care to students who are not enrolled in the Billings Catholic Schools system.
School officials declined to say how much the renovation project cost, but said the amount did not come out of the general operating budget and was, in part, funded by the Monsignor Gergen Trust Fund and from the sale of assets from previous ECE locations.
Knudsen said that while the task force entrusted with evaluating the program dissolved last week, the education committee will continue to evaluate the program and make improvements or changes as necessary.
"We constantly look at both long- and short-term goals," he said. "Our mission is to provide the best possible care and education to our students that we can."

I just dug up a dwarf azalea that blooms May through July. Also about to dig up a large gardenia. I just hate to toss any plant and wanted to know if anyone in the Lafayette area was interested in picking these up to "recycle" into their garden.

Despite the human race's extraordinary capacity for invention and progress, author David Kupelian says society has an age-old blind spot -- we don't understand the nature of evil and how it works -- and he partially blames the church.
In his new book, How Evil Works: Understanding and Overcoming the Destructive Forces that are Transforming America, Kupelian explains this concept.
He spoke with CBN News about what it takes to truly understand the good and bad of the world and what Christians must do to ensure our moral foundations remain in place.
"When we say 'evil' we think crime and genocide and horrible mega crimes. [Evil] is not just that," Kupelian said. "It's the little building blocks -- the lies, the seductions, the intimidations, the wrong relationships we have -- that build into great evil and we really desperately need to understand that."

As we've mentioned before, Catholics support same-sex marriage, practice birth control, are every bit as pro-choice as the rest of America, and offer modest support for the administration's initially announced policy on employer provision of contraception.
John Sides worked through the numbers on the president's approval rating over the past few weeks. He finds modest Catholic disapproval of the policy, ultimately concluding:
I am looking at a handful of polls and not particularly large samples, especially once Catholics are broken down into subgroups. I haven't conducted formal tests of statistical significance, and I doubt that many of my findings would emerge as significant, given these small samples. This is why my language throughout the post is tentative. For example, I've tried to say that my findings are "consistent with" the theory that the contraception decision led some Catholics to view Obama less favorably; I haven't said that my findings "confirm" the theory. …
And even if these findings are true, it's not obvious what real consequence they would have for Obama. The Catholics whose approval rating dropped most precipitously already overwhelmingly disapproved of Obama. It seems unlikely that many of them would have voted for him anyway.

Seriously, this forums are full of people complaining about ZA and ZG coming back. I don't know how many of you actually feel that way or are just bandwaggoning on the "hate on blizz" train, but it's really annoying.
Facts: ZA and ZG will have similar maps to the old instances Deadmines and Shadowfang Keep were brought to 85 and were completely different. Completely. Different. Completely. Different. It is new content in the end. Also, we're getting another water themed instance, so 4.1 is bringing 3 new instances. If you try to "run it" like the "thousands of times" you've run it before, you'll get rolled. Why? Because it is completely different. The only thing being recycled is the theme of trolls and I'm honestly happy to get something out of place. The whole surreal and relatively elemental instances were getting boring. Even if it's been run before. |
In my opinion, supporting Blizzard's idea that it's okay to recycle content isn't okay. Slapping mechanic changes onto bosses isn't that impressive and it makes it seem like they're running out of manpower to create -new- dungeons.
New dungeons implies a map I haven't seen, new bosses with lore I haven't read, and new models that aren't re-makes of previous bosses. I suppose how to effectively demonstrate my concerns is like this: Recycling ZG/ZA seems a lot like playing Pokemon Yellow. Some things are changed, and it's entertaining for a while but it sure does get old and stale when you realized you've played Red and Blue through already and that Yellow is much of the same. You then look at the newer versions and go, "Why did they even bother with Yellow when they could have just made a new product from the start?" A childish and probably immature example but it's the best way I can explain it. |

There's a lot of new content in Cataclysm. There's also a plethora of updated content to advance the story.
Likewise, there's plenty of new content still to come in this expansion. But, we're also going to keep moving existing themes forward when the story calls for it. There were specific reasons for originally entering Zul'Gurub and Zul'Aman, but those reasons by no means wrap up the story of the ancient troll empire. These city ruins still serve a major purpose in troll lore, beyond just providing new locations to gain loot. We're moving the story of the troll nations forward, and hope you recognize and enjoy that. Hakkar and Zul'jin are gone now. Even so, that doesn't make Zul'Gurub and Zul'Aman irrelevant as key locations of Azeroth. |
Why do you have to remove the old raids to add the new content though? Curse of the Black Pearl wasn't pulled from the shelves at Best Buy when Deadman's Chest came out.
Edited by Cozzene on 3/1/2011 1:36 PM PST
People think that same maps = same enccounters.
Stupidity at its finest. |
First off the random troll instances make no sense for this patch or even this expansion.
Quite honestly i do not understand why they did not just retrofit UBRS, LBRS and BRD they are all near new content and could be easily explained away as being over run by the current bad ass group occupying them. But two random troll instances WTF? |
I don't mind ZA/ZG coming back, they were a couple of my favorite raids. But I was disappointed in how much 5 man content Cataclysm had. Trying to gear up for heroics, you basically farm the same 3 instances over and over again, or just go buy PvP gear to boost your item level. Updated content is fine, but even with SKF/DM, we've got 9 heroics, compared to 12 at the launch of WotLK, and 14 for TBC. With the way heroic grinding is these days, it's not enough. |
Jefe, what is a plethora?
Moving the story forward so you get to reuse stuff is a rather convenient way to do things, at least in my opinion. I doubt it was ever "I just thought of an awesome story arc involving trolls! I guess we'll have to reuse some troll instances!" over "I bet we could reuse something, maybe trolls, someone come up with a quick lore explanation!". |

Same Programs + Different Computers = Different Weather Forecasts
timothy posted about a year and a half ago | from the climate-change-without-leaving-the-room dept.
240knorthern knight writes "Most major weather services (US NWS, Britain's Met Office, etc) have their own supercomputers, and their own weather models. But there are some models which are used globally. A new paper has been published, comparing outputs from one such program on different machines around the world. Apparently, the same code, running on different machines, can produce different outputs due to accumulation of differing round-off errors. The handling of floating-point numbers in computing is a field in its own right. The paper apparently deals with 10-day weather forecasts. Weather forecasts are generally done in steps of 1 hour. I.e. the output from hour 1 is used as the starting condition for the hour 2 forecast. The output from hour 2 is used as the starting condition for hour 3, etc. The paper is paywalled, but the abstract says: 'The global model program (GMP) of the Global/Regional Integrated Model system (GRIMs) is tested on 10 different computer systems having different central processing unit (CPU) architectures or compilers. There exist differences in the results for different compilers, parallel libraries, and optimization levels, primarily due to the treatment of rounding errors by the different software systems. The system dependency, which is the standard deviation of the 500-hPa geopotential height averaged over the globe, increases with time. However, its fractional tendency, which is the change of the standard deviation relative to the value itself, remains nearly zero with time. In a seasonal prediction framework, the ensemble spread due to the differences in software system is comparable to the ensemble spread due to the differences in initial conditions that is used for the traditional ensemble forecasting.'"

2 Years Hard Labor for P*ssy Riot
Submitted by pil45 on Fri, 08/17/2012 - 11:34http://news.yahoo.com/blogs/lookout/russian-punk-band-verdic...
"Three members of Pussy Riot -- a Russian punk band and feminist collective that mocked Russian president Vladamir Putin during a "punk prayer" in a Moscow cathedral--have been found guilty of hooliganism and sentenced to two years in jail
Judge Marina Syrova announced the verdict from a district court in central Moscow, about two miles from the Christ the Saviour Cathedral where the guerrilla group performed its "flash" stunt.
The band members--Nadezhda Tolokonnikova, 22, Maria Alyokhina, 24, and Yekaterina Samutsevich, 30--were arrested on March 3, several weeks after the performance, and charged with "hooliganism." They've been in jail ever since."

They are directly opposite each other and of very different sizes. The smaller bar, which is tiny, also has an upstairs room called the 'Crows Nest', which can seat up to 25 people. This smaller bar has a snug and booth seating for more private, homely conversation. The larger building has been a pub for over 300 years and the smaller one has steps which lead down to the river, although these have now been covered over. Both are traditionally decorated with the larger one being carpeted with a fireplace, a TV, seats and tables. An unusual feature of this type of pub is the ornamental mirrors lining an entire wall. The unusual spelling of 'Shovell' is because it is named after Sir Clowdisley Shovell. He was the Admiral whose fleet was lost in the foggy Channel and was erroneously informed by his staff that they were safely off the coast of France. Subsequently a sailor was hanged for mutiny after suggesting the calculations were incorrect! Today we predominately attract professionals but being next door but one to Sherlock Holmes pub we do welcome many tourists. Benjamin Franklins House is also very near by as is the theatre. As a result we see famous actors who pop in for drinks and food. Mac, Louise and the team will give you a warm welcome. |

Rumor: Iverson 'would accept any role' with Celtics?
With Rajon Rondo locked in as the Celtics point guard and Ray Allen as the shooting guard, Iverson's role would likely be as a scorer off the bench. In Detroit and Memphis, he created issues because he demanded to start. "I think that is so overplayed,'' Moore said. "He said it on more than one occasion. And I've always known that. I think it was taken out of context. Allen would accept any role. Anything he can do to help a ball team is what he will be able to do.'
HoopsVibe's Very Quick Call: It's sad. Really, it is.
Allen Iverson should have done this years ago. Instead of swallowing his pride and ego and playing a role for a contender, Iverson had to be 'The Guy'.
He had to have shots. He had to have touches. He had to be option one. And he ran himself right out the NBA because he acted like 2009 was 1999.
The Philadelphia 76ers traded him. Same with the Denver Nuggets. The Detroit Pistons let him quit. The Memphis Grizzlies released him. And the 76ers allowed him to disappear after re-signing him.
This whirlwind of mediocrity could have been avoided if Iverson did what he's doing now: re-invent himself as a second-unit game-changer.
Once upon a time, this would have worked. 'The Greatest Little Man Ever' coming off the bench for a contender and lighting up reserves.
The San Antonio Spurs, Boston Celtics, and other contenders would have had interest. Best of all, the end of Iverson's career would have been spent playing meaningful basketball in May and June.
But he wouldn't do it. He wouldn't put the collective before himself. Fair or not, right or wrong, he validated some of the accusations of being a selfish player.
Now Iverson's people are reduced to begging. And it may be too late to rekindle what may have been.
Got thoughts? Well, get at HoopsVibe News in the comment box below.

They charge $20 because 1. it's easier for the consumer to subscribe and not have to deal with paper products arriving in the mail, 2. they need to make up for the 30% Apple is taking and 3. they have to hire new personal to actually "make" the iPad content become interactive. It's not like they're scanning the Magazine and saying, here... read this digitally.
There's actually A LOT of work that goes into converting a Magazine like Vanity Fair or The New Yorker into an iPad sell-able format.

It was another blockbuster weekend for The Blind Side, an inspirational sports drama film about a Christian family.
The movie, starring actor Sandra Bullock and singer Tim McGraw, chronicles the uplifting, real-life rags to riches story of Baltimore Raven offensive lineman Michael Oher.
The film tells how Sean and Leigh Anne Tuohy, a wealthy Christian couple took in Oher when he was a homeless child walking the streets of Memphis wearing only a T-shirt and shorts.
The couple stopped to question the teen and learned he was homeless. They later adopted the boy and introduced him to their beloved sport of football.
Oher eventually grew up to become a star football player at the University of Mississippi who went on to play for the NFL.
The movie finished second at the box office, but made even more money than during its opening weekend, raking in more the $40 million over the Thanksgiving holiday. That up from last week's $34 million total.

Too noisy do not get rooms facing I4
January 27, 2015
If you are planning to stay at this hotel, make sure upon check in that your room DOES NOT face the highway unless you like to hear traffic all night and not sleep.
Pleasant surprise
January 23, 2015
Never stayed at a Candlewood Suites before and we were pleasantly surprised. The room was spacious and had everything we needed. The kitchen area is great and has plenty of pots/pans/utensils if you want to prepare meals. Bed was a little small and a bit too firm for my liking but would not prevent me from booking this hotel again.
Spacious and main bed comfy
January 23, 2015
Rooms are spacious and main bed is comfy.
The sofa bed not so much needs new mattress desperately. A few bugs were found in room as well as a personal item left under sofa bed. Was nice having the kitchen/ dinnerware available in room. Overall we would stay again because for the most part for the money it is perfect for what you get.

B. Monalisa (32) works for almost 10 hours every day at a construction project on Greams Road, digging earth, and then carrying the mud for the rest of the day. Hailing from a village near Cuttack, she has been doing this for 20 years, while her husband works as a mason on Rajiv Gandhi Salai.
Amidst all the noise, her four-month-old daughter lies asleep on a narrow plank nearby. "I have sent my other children back to our village. I have to bring her along since there is no one to look after her," she says.
While high-rise buildings and flyovers might be symbols of a new economy, the condition of the construction labourers working on them reveals that they are trapped in low-paid, insecure working conditions, often in bonded labour. The ones at the receiving end are women and children.
Almost three lakh migrant labourers, mostly natives of Andhra Pradesh, Orissa, Bihar and West Bengal, estimated to be working in different parts of the city are either housed by contractors on site, or live in rented huts in the vicinity. "Many of them are not even paid the minimum wages. Although protective legislation for migrants exists, it is never implemented," says Geeta Ramakrishnan, president, Unorganised Workers' Federation.
Getting registered under the Welfare Board according to the new system that involves a lot of verification prevents them from availing themselves of benefits, she adds. "Since it is a male-dominated profession, women are often dissuaded from learning masonry, painting or other specialised trades," she says. Women labourers, however, point out that their husbands often impose such restrictions on them so that they [the women] remain dependent. Considered only helpers, but made to do all tasks such as scaffolding, carrying bricks and water, and earth work, the women are paid much lesser than men.
Since a majority of them are of the child-bearing age, it is common for them to work right through a pregnancy. Sridevi M. a labourer from Andhra Pradesh at Anna Salai, recalls how two of her infants died in Chennai due to lack of health care services. "Nursing the baby is very difficult, when it is a full day work," she says.
There is a greater incidence of accidents and the victims are never compensated or rehabilitated. Often the whole family is sent back to the village, along with the body to avoid complications," Ms. Ramakrishnan adds.
Most women workers say they had to work long hours for paltry sums and suffered from lack of rest, and harassment. Displaced female workers especially from Semmencheri and Kannagi Nagar face assaults by those who provide them electricity and water, and the migrant ones on the outskirts have unending tales of woes of living in tents with no sanitation or safety. These are often powerful persons in the locality. "There is no door to our tents, children have to stay back to guard our belongings," says Rajeshri P., a migrant worker from Bihar.
Many women say shifting to domestic work or housekeeping work in companies is much better. "But companies take in only young, fairly educated girls who know to handle gadgets," says Farha .K (46).

I just added this to the gallery - but thought this would be a better place to get an ID.
We have a lovely Canna...but no idea what variety - Flowers are a salmon/coral shade with a hint of yellow on the edge. Leaves are solid green and reminds me of a banana plant. Landscaper said it would get 3 ft - but currently it is over 5ft. |

Hi everyone, I have 2 garden areas dedicated to tomatoes ... one is larger and holds the majority of the plants, the other is smaller and the plants need to be closer together. I also have a couple pots for tomatoes. Usually I grow Cherry Tomatoes in the smaller area because they tend to be smaller plants, but I'm only growing one cherry tomato this summer.
I need some help picking the smallest plants out of my list. I've never grown these varieties before (almost none of them, they're all new) so if you could help point out the 6-8 varieties or so that tend to produce SMALLER PLANTS, and are better for a slightly more compact space, or pot, I'd really appreciate it. The seedlings I've started are:
Thank you so much for your advice!!! |
Follow-Up Postings:
Cherokee Purple is the only one I see in that list that one could describe as smaller. But it isn't compact. Don't know Malkhitovaya Shkatulka or Oxacan Jewel or Smokey Mountain except that it is indeterminate. You might want to look each up on Tatiana's Tomato base for the details on each. Sorry I can't be of more help. Dave |

Ventmarin's database often gives height in centimeters. It's in French, but it should be easy to pick out the numbers (just make sure it mentions centimeters, as otherwise the numbers will be weight in grammes or DTM in jours). http://ventmarin.free.fr/passion_tomates/passion_tomate.htm Convert centimeters to feet here: http://www.calculateme.com/Length/index.htm Then there's the garden forum we can't link to. Their tomato Cultivar Finder (just search those three words in Google) puts varieties in height categories. (I figure if it says both 4-6' and 6-8', that's a 6' tall vine.) |
Thank you both for responding ... I looked on Tatianas Tomato Base but there aren't too many plant height details, there are tons of great details, but not approx plant height :( The french one is very helpful, I'm sure, but even though I'm Canadian, I understand almost none of it, lol!! Again, I see a lot of weight, and fruit size (I think), but not too many plant sizes ... Is the tomato cultivar finder by Dave? If so, many of the pages have heights listed, I guess 3 categories ... 4-6 ft, 6-8 ft and 8-10 ft. If the sizes are to be believed, that is actually a pretty big help!! Thank you :) It seems like the smallest ones on my list would probably be: Trying to fit large tomato plants into small garden spaces has it's frustrating moments, but I'd rather try to plan it out and make it work, rather than limiting the number of varieties I can try each summer :) I really appreciate the suggestions, thank you! |

You're welcome. Yes, you found the right one. I'm growing too many varieties this year, and needed to know which are what height so I can make the best use of a really mixed bag of old/new low/medium ring supports, 100' of 6' stock panel trellis, and however much Florida weave is necessary to handle the rest. So I was checking all the varieties at both those sites and recording the heights in a new category on my (embarrassingly-long) master list. I was surprised how few I found on Ventmarin; in my memory, when I didn't care about height, they always listed it! I had a couple of years of French in college, but the online dictionaries aren't much help with horticultural terms. My main problem at Ventmarin, though, is that when I see the word "cerise," I keep thinking pink rather than cherry.... |
I am growing Bush Tomatoes this year because I just didn't want to hassle with 8-10' tall plants on my back deck again. So I chose one called Better Bush that only gets a max of 4' tall and produces copious amounts of 4" tomatoes that have a really good old time tomato flavor. Just grow Bush Tomatoes and you are good to go. I have one 4' tall planted about 7 weeks ago and has at least 60 tomatoes on it right now, have harvested 6 so far, 3 were small 2 1/2" and 3 decent size 3 1/2 to 4". |

- i wanted to acknowledge herotic actions of my neighbor David Behnke on Wednesday Sepember 26, 2012. David regularly walks my 2 dogs each morning at 9 am. David arrived but my front door was still locked , my blinds closed and after numerous attemps to ring the doorbell to "wake" me. He tried phoning all to no avail-yet my dogs were going wild. David didn't just leave like ohers might have, he stopped by my neighbor , Bridget Rafter knowing she had acess to the house, Unfortunately I had locked the inside garage door so it ended up to a call to 911 for their grateful assistance finding me unresponsive in bed. Obviously I was admitted to the hospital and didn't wake up till Sunday. So many thanks to my neighbors and 911 responders for their quick action. So few GOOD deeds get recognized these days. I am a, RN and came home yesterday. THANKS TO ALL!

Tai Chi (Tai Chi Chuan, Taijiquan) is a traditional form of martial art used more for promoting health than for fighting. Its gentle, dance-like moves are said to strengthen and balance the body's "energy." The net results, according to tradition, include increased physical stamina, enhanced sense of well-being and comfort, and improved resistance to illness.
Tai Chi is said to have been invented by the Taoist monk Chang San-Feng sometime in the Middle Ages. (The exact dates and even the existence of this monk are disputed.) Various schools of Tai Chi developed over subsequent centuries, each with their own particular movements and postures, but all conforming to the same underlying principles.
In the 1950s, the Chinese government began to develop a series of standardized Tai Chi forms. One of these has become the most popular form of Tai Chi in the West, a 37-posture form abbreviated from a traditional approach to Tai Chi called the Yang Style.
Tai Chi is an extremely popular form of exercise among older Asians in China and other Asian countries. In the US, it is gaining widespread use as a method of improving balance and preventing falls among seniors. The slow movements of Tai Chi provide a gentle framework for enhancing physical control and improving balance.
Tai Chi is also advertised to improve overall health and enhance immunity, but this has not been evaluated scientifically to any significant extent.

The satellite TV industry still relies upon encryption in its various forms to protect its subscription TV content from being pirated - stolen. Broadcasters scramble the content before transmitting it to the client's home where it is unscrambled by a satellite receiver containing the broadcaster's smart card and encryption key. Anyone with a satellite receiver can receive the signal from the satellite but without the broadcaster's smart card and encryption key, all that they receive is a scrambled TV picture.
In the early days, broadcasters were playing a game of cat and mouse with the TV PiratesEarly TV piracy took the form of cloned smart cards. It was a small scale, messy business that involved fake smart cards being written with the details and encryption key of a legitimate account holder. The fake cards worked for a while until the broadcaster discovered the compromised account and de-activated the smart card. To continue to watch (illegally) the user had to make a trip back to the TV pirate's den to get the de-activated smart card re-configured with the details of another legitimate account holder - a game of cat and mouse.
Once the pirate had obtained the smart card details of a legitimate account holder, they were able to programme those details into as many fake smart cards as they liked which they sold to their 'customers' at a lesser price than was being charged for legal access to the broadcasters' scrambled content. As a result, the cloned smart card business was a lucrative little number for the illegal TV pirates but there was a limit to how big they could grow their illegitimate businesses because their 'business' model relied upon their 'customers' travelling backwards and forwards to the pirate's den to have their de-activated smart cards re-configured. This meant that the card cloning pirates or their 'agents' operated within their own specific regions of the country.
Card cloning TV piracy was a serious problem for the legitimate TV companies and broadcasters and they treated it very seriously but the real threat to the legitimate broadcasters' Pay-TV business model came with the introduction of the Dreambox and other systems like it.
The introduction of the card sharing Dreambox was a major blow for the legitimate TV companies and broadcasters because it enabled the TV pirates to 'sell' illegal access to scrambled TV content without the need to supply each of their 'customers' with a cloned smart card because the Dreambox satellite receiver doesn't need to have a cloned smart card fitted into it. All that it needs is access to a legitimate smart card over the internet. This meant that the TV pirates 'businesses' were no longer geographically restricted to an area within travelling distance to and from the pirate's den.
The Dreambox satellite TV receiver was the catalyst that turned TV Piracy into a global enterprise because using a central server and the internet, it enabled the TV pirate to remotely supply the details that were needed to unscramble pay-TV signals. With the introduction of the Dreambox satellite TV receiver, the TV pirate can be in one country and their 'client' can be in another - it doesn't matter.
Ironically, one of the features that the manufacturers included in the Dreambox and other similar systems was the facility to secure the Dreambox servers which enables the TV pirates to restrict access to those people who are paying them a fee for the privilege.
At the client side, the Dreambox only requires approximately 16KB of download internet bandwidth to operate efficiently but on the server side, lots of upload internet bandwidth is required and this is a problem for the TV pirates.
Upload internet bandwidth was and still is in short supply and it is expensive. To supply a service to a hundred distant Dreamboxes, the TV pirate needs at least 12.5 Mbits of 'constant' upload bandwidth which they almost certainly will not be able to obtain. This does not however, stop them from trying but as we're talking about unscrupulous individuals who are involved in a highly illegal activity, does anyone really expect them to properly monitor how many clients they are supplying and to apply a reasonable contention ratio to their service ? No - they load them with as many 'clients' as they can ! What are they going to do ? Complain to Trading Standards !
As a result, when the internet is busy or, when lots of 'customers' want to watch a popular programme simultaneously, shortage of upload bandwidth on the server side causes the clients' picture to repeatedly stop and re-start and eventually freeze altogether.
There are other problems too. When the legitimate TV company discovers which smart card the pirate is using, they de-activate it but not before 'playing' with the TV pirate for a while, spoiling the quality of the pirated TV service and (if it is possible) worsening the reputation of the TV pirate.
That's right - all's fair in Love and War ! The smart card can be repeatedly switched on and off by the TV company which ruins the pirated TV service or for maximum impact, they usually switch it off completely just as a major football match or other popular sporting event is about to start. The TV pirate has absolutely NO control over the service that their 'customers' are paying for.
Then there's the internet connection to the TV pirate's Dreambox server - once the legitimate TV companies and broadcasters know the service provider and the IP address - well, let's just say that it is an easy target !
Newer satellites and satellite TV receivers also support newly introduced security features that make it virtually impossible for the TV pirates to run an illegal card sharing scheme succesfully. The TV pirates are now restricted to running card sharing schemes on systems that are still using the older technology and the TV companies and broadcasters with money to invest can now quite easily protect their interests or, can they ?
The availability of faster internet connections and the introduction of new inexpensive IPTV set top boxes have provided the TV pirates with another way to deliver illegal access to pay-TV channels.
With different equipment on the server side and a slight modification in the formula and method, TV pirates are now able to completely circumvent the encryption techniques being used by the TV broadcast companies.
The old equipment and method enabled the TV Pirate to use the internet to deliver the encryption key to unscramble the TV picture at the 'customer' side. The new equipment and method however, requires that the TV picture is unscrambled before it is re-broadcast to the new IPTV set top box which is located at the 'customer' side.
The type of equipment and method may have changed but the TV Pirate's 'business' model remains the same - to charge a fee for providing 'customers' with illegal access to subscription TV channels.
There are however, similarities in the two different methods for example, the TV pirate must still obtain one or more legitimate user accounts with the official TV broadcaster - it should be noted at this point that obtaining a legitimate user account with the official broadcaster entitles the account holder to single-user access to the designated subscription channels and definitely does not authorise them to share with or re-broadcast the channels and programmes to any other individual(s) or entities.
The process begins with the TV pirate setting up a satellite dish and receiver (with official smart card) which provides access to the official broadcasters' unscrambled subscription channels.
The unscrambled TV picture is fed into a server where it is converted into a data stream and compressed before being fed into a second broadcast server which distibutes it to the IPTV set top boxes.
Alternatively, the TV pirate can buy these services off-the-shelf with little if any monetary investment in equipment or, expertise.
Prior to publishing this article, I spoke to a number of TV set top box manufacturers/suppliers and learned that they had all seen a surge in the amount of enquiries that they had received. Most of them had recently sent out samples and some had received orders and already delivered product so, it seems, that this type of service is already being offered by a number of individuals/companies some of whom no doubt, are already involved in card sharing TV piracy.
Three suppliers that I spoke with are also offering/selling the additional equipment and/or, services that are needed to set up an end-to-end solution quite simply. The set top boxes cost between $50 and $75 dollars plus delivery and a 'wholesale' service costs anything from 10 Euros per month.
Interestingly, some of the manufacturers/suppliers of the TV set top boxes told me that they will not supply individuals or, companies who are illegally pirating subscription TV channels however, I doubt that they are policing this policy because several TV pirates are already offering their 'customers' illegal access to Sky Movies, Sky Sports and other pay-TV subscription channels.
Offering the facility to watch subscription channels without a legitimate account and without paying the official broadcaster is illegal and advertising and providing such services attracts not only the attention of the potential customer, but also the attention of the official broadcaster who will no doubt use whatever resources and techniques they have at their disposal to put a stop to it.
The end result is that the TV pirates' customers lose out to the value of the IPTV set top box that they have purchased and any amount that they have paid in advance payments for the service.
Hi Paul,
I live in Sweden and assume I can order one of these systems as well ?
I see no link to any available channel guide so is it all movies, sports and the normal Beeb and ITV channels ? Local ITV like Scottish BBC1 etc.
Difficult to see the spec's of the reciever and its capabilities ie. USB connections if any to attach external hard discs ?
Its not a mag 250 by the looks of it ?
Can you send me a spec list ?
Cheers Bobby
Hi Bobby,
Yes, you can order one of these systems for international delivery. You will find further information about this higher up the page and on the order form.
The most popular UK free to air channels that are available are pictured in the graphic at the top of the page. We are not TV Pirates so I am afraid that it is just BBC1, BBC2, BBC3, BBC4, CBeebies, CBBC, BBC News, BBC Parliament, BBC Northern Ireland, ITV1, ITV2, ITV3, ITV4, Channel 4, E4, More 4, Channel 5, 5USA, Dave, Pick TV, Yesterday, Really, CBS Reality, CBS Drama.
There are 4 USB connections to connect external devices, various sized SD card readers, HDMI connector, RCA connector, SPDIF connector and Ethernet Port.
Our set top box has been designed specifically to run UK TV in standard definition, but it is capable of displaying 1080p HD without any problems whatsoever.
We have been selling this box for more than a year and we have sold it into many different countries including very hot climates, where it has performed faultlessly for extended periods.
And your right, it is not a MAG 250.
Hope that this information is useful to you.
Hi, I'm Edward from Malta. We spoke on the phone earlier today , is it possible to email me with a price for a large quantity for the IPTV boxes please, thanks..
Hi Edward,
I have emailed you the details that you asked for.
The set top box comes ready to use with everything installed and working. There is no subscription cost for the standard definition channel line up which is fine for televisions up to 32" and some selected 40" TVs. Customers with 40" TVs and above or customers who watch lots of fast moving sports may also prefer higher definition which is a lot better.
Our set top box is a real TV experience that only requires a 'constant' 1.2Mbps of internet bandwidth. The video drivers and codecs have been optimised to watch UK TV and we have sold thousands of units with not one return from anyone who has said that they are unhappy with the way that it works or the picture quality.
Personally, I think that you should order two units and let us express deliver them then you can use them for samples in your showroom and take orders whilst we deliver the main quantity.

I love the Christmas season and eagerly anticipate the annual celebration of its rich traditions. This is especially so for the annual Winter Harp performance which comes early to my community. The costumes are a feast for the eyes but it is the contemplative music that leaves me wrapped snugly in the Christmas spirit.
Three beautiful harps, rare medieval instruments and percussion combine to perform an afternoon of festive carols and stories and a most hauntingly beautiful Christmas concert. The ensemble features Kim Robertson, one of the world's top Celtic harpists and the ever popular narrator Patrick Ball.
Sechelt is the first of their concert series, and many Vancouverites have been known to take the short ferry ride to hear their performance in a more intimate setting. I've often been tempted to travel in the other direction to experience their concert in the majestic cathedral of St. Andrews-Wesley United Church in Vancouver
Watch the video below, a most beautiful rendition of O Come O Come Emmanuel. A singular voice accompanied by the mesmerizing sound of a 9th century replica Spanish Organistrum and a medieval Bass Psaltery.
Christmas for me is a time to celebrate all these wonderful traditions – the Winter Harp concert, our annual Christmas Tree Brunch with family and friends, a large beach-side bonfire to watch the Carol Ships cruising by at night… it is a magical time to experience and enjoy, and it has begun, once again.

Arthritis and bursitis is actually tough to distinguish. But, we will try to distinguish by starting with the definition. We know that arthritis refers to joint inflammation due to the degeneration of bones and tissues. On the other hand, bursitis refers to the bursa inflammation, which is a sac-type opening between the bones and tendons or muscles, aiding in friction control. In a human body, there are over 140 bursa. Most people know bursitis as 'water on the knee'.
A bursa is actually a sac packed with fluid. Such bursae, also called sacs, are spread across the body where ligaments or tendons tend to shift. They actually save the tendons, bones, and muscles flanking the joints against movement-related friction. It has been found that frequent pressure, acute stress, aging, and overuse have the power to lead bursae to get inflamed and emit too much fluid that accumulates within. Therefore, the influenced region is filled with pain and that swelling, redness, and heat might be felt.
Next point of distinction between arthritis and bursitis is the body parts getting influenced. In arthritis, weight-bearing joints like knees and hips are mostly affected. While in bursitis, hips, big toe, heels, shoulders, and elbows are more easily affected.
Considering the causes, then direct shock, infection in a joint, stress in muscles, and arthritis lead to bursitis. So, we now know the relationship of arthritis and bursitis. Arthritis is mostly due to the deterioration of cartilage as well as the tissues as a sign of aging. Further, even gout as well as autoimmune diseases can lead to arthritis.
If we consider the treatment options, then they are more or less the same for arthritis and bursitis. Nonsteroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs (NSAIDs) like naproxen, ice application, rest and corticosteroid injections form the primary therapy options. However, if infection is responsible for the medical condition, then antibiotics treatment is inevitable. In case you are suffering from a severe state of bursitis that remains over some weeks or swelling is too much, then bursa might be drained to remove the extra fluid. Sometimes, the surgical removal is also suggested, which is a small procedure that ensures healing. And yes, nutritional diet and exercises are a must. In most cases, bursitis is often healed via RICE that stands for:
- R – Rest
- I – Ice
- C – Compression
- E – Elevation
You just need to consult your orthopedist who would actually perform an X-ray to check out for the condition of bursitis. Actually, x-ray does not cast the film of bursitis, but aids in excluding the similar conditions like arthritis. Know that the major cause of bursitis is osteoarthritis that is an age-related condition. Therefore, it is often suggested to take a second opinion, ideally from an orthopedic expert. Doing so will allow you to know and compare what two diagnosis or judgments say and then proceed accordingly.
Arthritis actually comprises of over 75 different disorders. Whereas, bursitis does not boast any type. In many cases, bursitis is just detected by judging the site of discomfort, unlike arthritis.
