What is the academic reasons for why only some grafts work?
Persons grafting usually use similar plants, citrus on citrus etc.
What are the biological obstructions to grafting wildly different plants? Few would even try to graft a plumb onto a redwood. Is the problem anatomical, physiological, genetic? What might they have said had I asked this question at the university?
How weird, my post to this thread has disappeared.
Basically, I had said that it's physiological and genetic, depending on how you use the words. When plants are grafted together, the cambium and phloem cells have to join at the graft. The cells along the graft will even exchange some genetic material. Even plants from different genera have been grafted successfully, but that's much rarer than intraspecific and interspecific grafting.
If I were going to ask a similar question at school, I'd rephrase it something like, "Can you explain the specifics of what determines which species and genera can be grafted together successfully?" While you're at it, you might ask them to cover what makes some grafts fail after an initial, seemingly successful period. If you ask, come back and tell us what they said, so we can discuss their input.
brandon7, your post did not disappear, rather I asked again on a different forum.
I had a citrus grafting class at ASU in 1967 and they may have answered my question and in the short time that has elapsed I just forgot.
I found a University of Missouri publication that offers descriptions in terms of species and genus and family but not a word about anatomy or physiology.

The vacated Dogwood on The Avenue in Hampden will soon be Le Garage Beer Bar & Frites with chef Sarah Acconcia in the kitchen. Wine Market Bistro owner Chris Spann is involved, too, as a consultant.
The restaurant, which will offer "approachable French cuisine," is set to open in early April. The menu will include savory frites with a variety of dipping sauces—including Old Bay ketchup, bacon horseradish, and rosemary garlic—as well as entrees in the $16-21 price range and other dishes.
Most recently, Sarah was a sous chef at Maggie's Farm in Lauraville. Previously, she created an assortment of impressive small plates at 13.5% Wine Bar, up the street from the new restaurant.
Le Garage, in the lower level of the space, will have an 18-seat bar with high-top tables, along with a 60-seat dining area. The upper room, fronting 36th Street, will house a small Belgian-style frites shop.
The restaurant's menu will also include 14 hand-selected drafts focusing on Belgian, French, and local craft breweries, as well as wine offerings. The beverage program will be handled by Brendan Kirlin, a partner on the project who will also run the front of the house. He's a former beer buyer at the Wine Market.
The restaurant will be located at 911 W. 36th Street.
Hampden is certainly becoming a restaurant hub!

This apparently abandoned building is at New Holland Crossroads in Aiken County, S.C., writes photographer Linda W. Brown of Kingstree, S.C.
On S.C. Highway 261 in western Williamsburg County,S.C., this rusty mailbox, though leaning, still serves its purpose, says photographer Linda W. Brown of Kingstree.
Country stores like this one in the Salters community of Williamsburg County, S.C., are a dying breed.
Located in northern Williamsburg County, this old house, with its chimneys beginning to collapse, sits across a field of broom straw from the road, writes Kingstree, S.C., photographer Linda W. Brown.
This old tobacco barn in Florence County, just off the Vox Highway, is beginning to lean and is losing its tin as age, sun, wind and rain take their toll, writes Kingstree, S.C., photographer Linda W. Brown.
"In my opinion, there's no better way of experiencing rural South Georgia's beautiful countryside than a ramble on a dirt road," photographer Brian Brown writes. We agree and have added this to our list of favorite photos published on this site.
You used to see stores like this all over the South, but they're slowly being taken away by time and neglect. This store has a Twin City address, which would make you think it's in Emanuel County, but it's not, according to VanishingSouthGeorgia.com photographer Brian Brown.
This vernacular, unpainted farmhouse near Denmark, Ga., sits in a pecan grove surrounded by fields. The photo, taken by VanishingSouthGeorgia.com's Brian Brown, is part of the site's series of pictures in Bulloch County, Ga.

NBC's American Odyssey attempts to woo viewers who have given up on the networks for cable but it misses its mark.
There is, to begin with, no denying Barbra Streisand's enormous talent. At the end of "A Star Is Born" the camera stays on her for one unbroken shot of seven or eight minutes, and she sings her heart out, and we concede that she's one of the great stars of the movies, one of the elemental presences. But how does she choose her material? And what possessed her to make "A Star Is Born"?
There's just no way, after all the times we've seen Streisand and all the ways she's imprinted herself on our minds and tastes, for us to accept her as a kid on the way up, as an unknown who hitches her destiny to a star. Even in her first rags-to-riches movie, even in "Funny Girl," we knew and she knew that she was Barbra Streisand. I guess in "A Star Is Born" we're supposed to forget that. Fine; we could try if she'd let us.
She plays a character totally out of touch with contemporary reality. She's supposed to be an obscure club singer sweating out a living, and Kris Kristofferson is supposed to be the rock superstar who falls in love with her. And then we know the story from all the other times it's been filmed: She zooms to the top, he plummets to the bottom, and they pass in mid-career, he with bottle in hand and (this time) cocaine in nose.
We can believe Kristofferson (he didn't exactly have to stay up nights preparing for this role). But we can't believe her. The first time we see her, she's in a little club that's supposed to be maybe like the Earl of Old Town, or the Troubadour in Los Angeles. But what's she doing? A slick Las Vegas lounge act. She's got lots of plastic songs, and she's flanked by two black backup singers who look like would-be Supremes. They're called the Oreos. Get it? I wish I hadn't. This act with this material would be laughed out of every semi-authentic club in the country, even if Miss Streisand was the lead singer.
Anyway, Kristofferson gets drunk and weaves into the club and falls in love with her and starts a fight. He charms her, though, somehow -- and she invites him to breakfast. That's so we can see her apartment, which looks like a cross between the centerspread in Architectural Digest and a clearance sale at Crate and Barrel.
No matter; in no time at all, Barbra and Kris are in love. And I mean in no time at all: One of the strange things about the story is the way it leaves out the middle. There are no scenes showing the development of their relationship, just an abrupt scene showing that it has developed. And then the movie really gets unreal, because we can't feel a thing between Kristofferson and Streisand. We don't sense any chemistry, we don't know why these two people are drawn to each other and why they should be important to each other.
And, most of all, we can't place them in the contemporary music world. Not together, anyway. Kristofferson fits; he's convincing in his concert scenes (including the spectacular outdoor concert in Phoenix with its audience of thousands and Kris hurtling off the stage on a motorcycle). He has a nice, unaffected looseness. But Miss Streisand is too calculated. Nobody's told her that people wear jeans sometimes. She has a scene in the desert, riding a horse, and she's dressed for brunch at Arnie's.
And yet, to be honest, I enjoyed a lot of "A Star Is Born." I thought Miss Streisand was distractingly miscast in the role, and yet I forgave her everything when she sang.
Somewhere on the fringes of her singing and her unrealized character, though, there's a story struggling to be born here. Paul Mazursky, the director ("Harry and Tonto"), is convincing in a supporting role as Kristofferson's manager. Kris knows his way around the show business scenes, and has a way of making himself at home in a shot. The scenes showing Kristofferson's fall -- his drinking, the drug use on tours, the groupies, the unreality -- are well handled, and fairly close to the truth.
But this isn't a movie about a star who dies, and Miss Streisand doesn't let us forget it. It's about a star being born. Kristofferson and Mazursky and the rock scene sort of fade out into the background as Miss Streisand comes on strong, the overnight sensation, aiming for that bravura finale. And she sings for eight minutes, and she's great, and there are shivers down our spines ... but what does it all finally have to do with this movie, this story, these characters?

What: The IBM Center for the Business of Government's report on the use of data visualization in government.
Why: As the amount of available data continues to multiply, visualization is increasingly vital to agencies' ability to analyze the data they have. The best visualizations help viewers understand the meaning of data, and this report shows what tools can be used to create such visualizations. It includes case studies of how data visualization is being effectively used at federal, state and local levels.
Verbatim: "Even with these more sophisticated means of analysis, government managers still have the challenge of explaining issues and results to decision-makers and the public; that is where data visualization comes in. Numbers and patterns can be more readily grasped in graphic visualization, particularly when interactive. Data visualization can help citizens understand data and data analysis more readily through graphic presentations. It is a tool to connect data with citizens and foster citizen engagement."

Aloha peeps,
I've been blogging menswear and home decor for… errr ahem X number of years and still really enjoy it! Feeds: Male Fashion Feed, Designing SL, Blogging SL. Official blogger for Cosmopolitan Sale Room and all the good folks on my side bar still send me their stuff so I must be OK *smiles*. If you would like me to do the same, please leave a message and I'll get back to you. Thanks for stopping by :)
V-Spot – RockStar Pants
V-Spot have released the 'RockStar Pants' as a special at the Men Only Monthly event!
Love these unique pants that come in a choice of 6 colours – Black, Brown, Green, Grey, Navy and Tan. Standard 5 sizing with a well fitting Alpha layer.
Here's the 6 colours – useful shades all, I especially like the navy and the brown. Amost any shoes in dark brown will match up well as they'll tone in with the pockets and laced calf wrap of the leg.
In practice, if you add a top of some description… here's just one look. I added the 'Cobain Jacket' in Brown which is another one of V-Spot's finest.
Until next time
Cheers, m'dears :)
Cosmopolitan 10/03 – Menswear
Round 10/03 is now on at Cosmopolitan and I'm showing a couple of design bargains from the Menswear range today.
First up is GioMEN with the 'Sand Shirt', a HUD controlled multi texture shirt that comes in the standard sizing XS-XL. As a rule I usually take the L size but was using the M here and it fitted fine. The Vamos jeans are also from GioMEN and you can find those at their main store and on Marketplace.
When you employ the HUD, you can change the body of the shirt to various plain and plaid designs. Also, the shirt and cuffs can be changed. So, for instance, you could have a plaid shirt with plain cuffs and collar – either contrast or matching. It's versatile and here's a picture of the HUD.
I tried wearing mesh t-shirts underneath but it wasn't possible as they would show through the mesh of the shirt and I would imagine an alpha would be impossible to produce for two mesh products which were made to wear separately in the first place. So I searched around my Inventory and found a system t-shirt (undershirt and underpants) which did the job well. System clothing still has its place in cases like this. See how well this fits into the jeans. It's just a matter of fiddling like all SL clothing until you find something that works.
*Birth* by designer Silent Alchemi, is a long time producer in Second Life of exquisite skins, both male and female. He has appliers for various SLINK products at his store so if you wear those, go and check out the possibilities. At Cosmopolitan *Birth* are offering the 'Milton' male skin in various shades at a bargain price. In the pack you get the skin layer and a number of tattoo and system layers to provide options. The skin layers have a 'trail' of hair, with and without hairbase. If you add the other layers you can have a toned hairless look or a total hairy look with or without hairbase. There are no other appliers in the pack but as I mentioned before – visit the *Birth* store and be thankful that you got the bargain skin at Cosmo.
'Milton' is a clean shaven skin that Silent describes as somewhat 'older and wiser'. There are some lines on the face and some bags under the eyes but why worship youth culture all the time? Older men can be just as sexy! Here's the darkest tone – Tropical – in full view and I've used the original skin layer. Beautiful shading on this.
Here's a close-up of the face in a slightly lighter colour called 'Rainforest'. Add a beard tattoo layer (and I've used a 2nd generation Nivaro beard) and you get a whole different look.
My photos are not taken using any huge Advanced Lighting conditions but using simple Windlight settings so you can get a good idea of what will be an actuality for the majority of us in Second Life.
All that remains for me to do is to offer you a taxi to Cosmopolitan. Until next time, cheers m'dears!
Cosmopolitan #09/03 – Decor
There's still time to visit round #09/03 of the Cosmopolitan event, it's on until February 28th!
Today, I'm showing just some of the gorgeous decor on offer.
~*Alchemist*~ – full size telephone boxes and you can have any colour you like as long as it's red, pink, white or black! Touch the door to open and close, then you can leap inside and check out the animations, some of which are for couples. Perms are copy/modify. Close-up shows the telephone itself. Really liked this one!
Myrrine – a set of cargo box furniture – lovely stuff! You can purchase the whole set or buy the benches or table separately. The cargo box benches have a couple of texture variations and come with or without cushions and each has a land impact of 3. There's also 8 single sit animations in the benches. The table is 2 land impact and the separate candles 3 land impact. You can toggle the flames on and off.
Decor Junction – have these cute towels racks out. All the decor on the racks are included and amount to a total of 6 land impact, fantastic. I remember when items like these were many more prims when rendered in sculpties! Perms are Copy/Modify.
Apt B – have the 'Arden set' and I'm always impressed with the texturing of any Apt B decor. Arden is no exception. There's a chair with 19 single sit animations for 3 land impact, a matching Ottoman for 2 land impact and the lamp is another 3 LI and you can retexture that via a HUD. This is a PG version and the set is Copy/Modify.
Here's your Taxi
Cheers, m'dears!
V-Spot – Boondock Coat
V-Spot are at the March edition of the 'Men Only Monthly' event with the 'Boondock Coat'.
This fabulous pea coat come in a choice of five colours – black, green, grey, navy and tan. There's options of Fitmesh and S/M/L standard mesh varieties with a good alpha. I was wearing the fitmesh variety.
And the styling? Well you know when your mom shouts at you to get off that beeeep computer and go outside? :)
Open air blogging at the Cheeky Tiramisu Cafe.
Cheers, m'dears :)
Just blogged this and now I can hardly wait four days until the darn event opens lol

TRES BLAH will be at the March edition of THE ARCADE with the 'Hodgepodge Collection' gacha.
There is a lot of lovely and essential decor clutter in this gacha, especially for the kitchen! 12 Commons and 2 Rares to collect.
We will continue to post Home & Garden previews as we see them until the event opens to the public.
Storax Tree – mid February releases
Designer Kate is a prodigious builder, fortunately for us! I thought I'd take some of the Storax Tree February releases and place them in the sun lounge – out in the field as it were. I used a couple of windlight settings but quite honestly the decor looks just as fab in midday lighting conditions. All items are Transfer with a Resizer that has a delete script option.
Of course, there's always a naughty cat! Feline Treasures – Fishing Calico to be precise and he has a land impact of 15.
A planter from the Delicate Garden range. This is the Gold-BA planter and it has a land impact of 3. There are lots of planters in this range and they look very good indoors or on a patio.
Here's what I did with three pieces for decorating a corner. There's the Napa Valley Chair, the Heart Wall Key Shelf and one of the Spring Potted Plant Collections.
There's a whole range of Napa Valley furniture in the rustic style and it's a good idea to look on the Storax Tree Marketplace site and check it all out. This particular chair is Dk Wood – Ag variety. It's only 3 land impact and has an excellent set of animations – some of which have props. I used the Coffee/Paper one where I'm slurping a coffee and reading the Daily Rag :)
Here's the Spring Potted Collection – Ab in close-up. The set amounts to 5 land impact so if you used all the varieties of this collection you'd soon have an extensive display.
A close-up of the Heart Key Wall Shelf – Ck. Again, there are a number of varieties of these, each a little bit different to suit the textures of the walls you're placing them on. Only 3 land impact.
From the Plank Planter collection this is B Plant – Aq which as you can imagine comes in a variety of woods and flora. This is 3 land impact and inside a sun house or conservatory it makes a great decor piece. I think that's a Yucca plant because I'm recognising the little trunk that the leaves eventually grow from.
Time for tea? Well, of course! And here's the naughty cat again collapsed on his woven rug having fished himself out. We've got the Nature's Bliss Tea Time Table ready for tea and the kitty from the Feline Treasures Nap Time range. Standing by the chair is the Twisty Twigs vase.
A close-up of this gorgeous tea table. Nature's Bliss Tea Time Table A Bamboo, one of a number of tea tables – see how well it matches up with the chair. Only 9 land impact for all this detail, can't be bad.
Here's the poor, tired kitty! Feline Treasures – Naptime – Solids Calico k, is from a huge range of different cats on variously textured rugs. If you can't find one to match your home, I'd be surprised! He's 3 land impact. His little catnip bag is so cute.
The Twisty Twigs Vase – Gold and Tile H in close-up. The detail on this is just lovely and the colour matches the sun house so well. It's 3 land impact.
Another shot of the decorated corner, so you can see the base of the tea table and fortunately, not the cat's bottom lol.
Storax Tree always have group gifts and bargains. February's gift was a choice of four colours of heart decor. And a further four variations for only 10 lindens. Here's a couple of examples from Kate's vendor photos.
And the best way to see all of these? Try Storax Tree on Marketplace. There are over 4700 quality products available and you'll always find the newest releases there first.
Also… visit the Storax Tree Sales Room for many bargains and to access the group gifts there's a direct landmark.
Until next time… Cheers, m'dears!
V-Spot – February Releases
Lots going on at V-Spot this February!
First off, the Group Gift – and if you're not in it you can't win it :) Pick up the 'The Shameless Bomber Jacket AND Beanie combo' at V-Spot mainstore.
The Jack or Jill Hunt is a Depraved Nation event which covers the whole of February. Here's where hunters can go to get all the info they need about the hunt…. DN Blog V-Spot's hunt gift is 'Jack's Knit' which is offered in 2 sizes of FitMesh and standard sizes S,M and L. I was wearing the 1st size FitMesh which worked very well. The 2nd size would fit beefier avatars.
Fashion Fair 2015 is running until the end of February. V-Spot's release for the fair are the 'Gangsta' Baggies'. Available in 6 colours – Tan, Grey, Blue, Dirty Blue, Brown and Black. Standard 5 sizing XS – XL and the belt and chain are added separately. I was wearing the L size in Grey.
L'Homme magazine exclusive – The Man's Man Sweater' is available only at V-Spot mainstore! The sand version was offered previously in a hunt and became such a popular item that Vertigo made another five colours. Black, Red, Navy, Green and Grey, the sweater is offered in 2 sizes of FitMesh and standard sizes S,M and L. Here's the black and the red versions and I was wearing the 1st size FitMesh.
Cheers, m'dears :)

Researchers Demo Hack Against African Micro-Finance Accounts 52
from the and-such-small-portions dept.
We've improved Slashdot's video section; now you can view our video interviews, product close-ups and site visits with all the usual Slashdot options to comment, share, etc. No more walled garden! It's a work in progress -- we hope you'll check it out (Learn more about the recent updates).
Meh, as an American, I've become desensitized to corruption. Yes, even more so than I have to violence.
Hearing that there is corruption in finance is like hearing water is wet.
The entire thing is a scam and they are quite upfront with it.
I the charitable 1st worlder give free money to some bank in the 3rd world who supposedly gives a loan to a needy person.
This means I make no profit and a bank gets to charge interest to another person. Why the hell would I ever do that?
If it is my capital I want at least half the interest or just give the guy the money, either way at least some banker is not getting rich for free off my money.
I once heard someone say that you can tell how corrupt a charity is by the kind of car its director drives. If a charity's director is driving a new Mercedes, it's a pretty safe bet that most of your donations aren't going to feed hungry children. So now that's my rule of thumb for a charity: look into the intentions and lifestyles of the heads of the charity and you will probably see its true heart.
With your bare hands?!?
