No water needed?
rosemintMay 9, 2013
Is there any ground cover that doesn't need
any watering at all? My sprinkler system needs replacing
and I'd rather not go to the expense. I'm Zone 9.
Don't Sedums actually do pretty well without water? I have some growing in the holes of cinder blocks, which dry out pretty quickly, and the Sedum (Fulda Glow variety) are growing like crazy. The nice thing too is you can clip off stem cuttings and get them to grow into new plants. Really interesting color varieties available too. Not sure there are any that don't require any water....I would think all plants need water at some point.

She is very very nice guest. I hope to meet you again.
Thanks Jane Lee ^^
Lovely ladies- who had a very busy planned weekend. Had very nice conversation with them. Would recommend them both.
Jane and her friend Michelle were my guests for four nights. What can I say to make it simple? "Over the top" - that brings it straight to the point. Not only that everything from communication prior check in to finally meeting them was really smooth and easy going, no - they are most importantly absolutely lovely people who are more like friends than like guests. It was simply a pleasure having them in my home. They treated everything with respect and care as if it was their own home and left the apartment in immaculate condition. I can highly recommend them to all other hosts and Jane and Michelle are always very welcome to come back.
Jane ( and Cathy) stayed only one night at the end of their NZ vacation - really lovely people the pair of them! They were also my first Airbnb guests so extra special in that sense. Wouldn't hesitate recommending Jane - happy travels in the future to you!
Easy communication with the apartment left in a tidy condition.
Jane and friends were polite and friendly and responsive to suggestions of how to spend a day in Auckland. They were quiet and courteous and their group grew from two to four by the following morning as two girlfriends joined them for their North island adventure. This was a new experience finding the guest numbers double in a short time. I wish them all the best for their trip here, and enjoyed their company during our brief interactions.
Jane was a fantastic guest! She made a last minute booking and arrived shortly after. She was very clean and respectful of the apartment and a pleasure to host. I would be happy to have her back any time and could not recommend her any more highly!
jane was such a fun guest. we really enjoyed her visit and can only recommend jane as a guest to anyone. we had a great time with her and would love to welcome her back anytime.
Jane and her friend were very enthusiastic hosts. Not to mention: on time, apartment super clean at check-out and happy to spend some time in Paris. Wonderful. I recommend!

5.0 out of 5 stars The Recording of a Stage Production,
Roger Rebec "Roger Rebec" (Manchester, UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Finian's Rainbow (Audio CD)
Finian's Rainbow has not been overly lucky on record. The original cast album reissued by Columbia Masterworks is in mono and, although an excellent job has been done in remastering for the most recent CD issue, it does sound its age. The 1960 stereo recording issued on RCA Victor highlighted a cast who performed well but did not seem to be having any fun. Then there was the film soundtrack which highlighted Fred Astaire, Petula Clark, Tommy Steele and the excellent Don Francks with the Ken Darby Singers and orchestra under the direction of Ray Heindorf. These performers proved not to be to everyone's taste.
The reviews of the new production have greatly praised the singing and it is very good indeed. The orchestrations seem to be based on the originals with discreet changes. The recorded sound is all you could wish for. The booklet contents photos and lyrics and an interesting essay on the show's creation. How does it compare to its predecessors?
If you want the most complete recording available and/or a recording of a stage performance and you are resistant to the performers on the film soundtrack, then your choice has to be this one. Personally, I prefer the wide-eyed innocence of Petula Clark's Sharon and the youth of Tommy Steel's Og to the the characterisations on this recording. Two words of dialogue "Me father" on "Look to the Rainbow" show the difference in the Sharons and, although Christopher Fitzgerald looks young in the photos, he sounds as old as Finian rather than the young Og Steele gives us, all confusion and raging hormones as he becomes human.
Rounding off the case for the film recording are the orchestrations. This is a magnificent score, one of Broadway's best, and the orchestrators for the film managed to make the score sound less routed in the theatre and more vital than it did orignally. In fairness to the new production, it retains the original 1940s setting, whereas the film seems set in a more recent period. "Old Devil Moon" in the film is so sexy and exactly what the moment requires. I do not think it has ever been better performed than in the film. On the new recording, it is a great song, extremely well sung.
Do not misunderstand me, I really like this new recording and I wouldn't want to be without it because it really does capture the feel of a theatre production (and there is some great harmonica playing from Guy Davis too) but I also would not want to be without the more modern orchestrations and more ideosyncratic star performances of the film soundtrack.
A further point to bear in mind when parting with your hard earned pennies is that this recording has become very expensive. You can currently buy two copies of the film version and have change from the cost of this one! The solution is to buy the film version and then get this one when it becomes less expensive. Good though it is (and it is very good indeed), it is also very expensive.
5.0 out of 5 stars Five Stars,
Fast delivery and item as described! Thanks!!!

Today a musical like this would never be allowed because of the tiresome political correctness and a scene where cigarettes are being made.

basically i was wondering if there is a way to run something and it would go into every drools file in the directory's under it (in a folder with say 50 folders in there, would go into each folder.) and pull certain data from these files So i run it, it access lets say 10 .DRLs each with 5 rules inside that have a name rule "blah blah" and a logger.info line. among what the rule actually does.
Could something be written to go into all these files and create a list of each filename, then under that all rule names and logger lines?
We have roughly 500 .drl files each with anything from 1 to 100 rules within these files. manually creating a list of what we have in place for each file, would take alot of time :)

I just got a Cannondale scalpel 3 to test ride for two months. It came straight from the bedford plant.
When i grab the front breaks (Avid Juicy 7 Hydraulic) it takes a second or two to fully stop. It seems that there is not as much stopping power as the rear brakes. How can i adjust this?

2000 Jeep Cherokee Problems
Engine oil leaks from the valve cover gasket, oil pan gasket and timing cover gasket are common.
A ticking type noise may be noted from the engine area due to an exhaust manifold that has cracked where the pipes are welded; cracked manifolds should be replaced.
Leaks at the front and/or rear differential pinion seal and from the transfer case are common. Leakage from the transfer case normally occurs at the case-mating surfaces and require removal of the transfer case to reseal.
2000 Jeep Cherokee Questions
I replaced the door distribution panels but to no avail
It seems to only happen when the Jeep is cold, someone told me it is my struts, that am bone to bone but would this make that sound?
2000 Jeep Cherokee Recalls
The design of the intake and exhaust manifolds allow for debris collection in the area of the number three cylinder. This may cause a fire hazard. Dealers will install a manifold shield to modify air flow characteristics to prevent debris accumulation.

Exceptional Quality! February 1, 2015
My mom absolutely adored her Silver Reflections Bouquet I ordered for her birthday! I always am uneasy sending her flowers that may not look or smell the BEST! She proclaimed with excitement at the undeniable quality of the flowers. She kept asking how much I spent insisting I spent too much. Such affordable quality... I look forward to spoiling and sending her more!

Recently I published an article on Virtual Volumes (VVols) where I touched on a comparison between how migrations typically worked with VAAI and how they now work with VVols. In the meantime, I managed to have some really interesting discussions with some of our VVol leads, and I thought it worth sharing here as I haven't seen this level of detail anywhere else. This is rather a long discussion, as there are a lot of different permutations of migrations that can take place. There are also different states that the virtual machine could be in. We're solely focused on VVols here, so although different scenarios are offered up, I highlight what scenario we are actually considering.

A closer look at Maxta
Maxta are another storage vendor that I managed to get talking to at this years' VMworld conference in San Francisco. Although they were present at last year's VMworld, they only announced themselves in earnest last November (11/12/13) with the release of the Maxta Storage Platform (MxSP). I spent some time with Kiran Sreenivasamurthy, Director of PM & PMM at Maxta, and he was very open in sharing details on the Maxta product.
If you read the blurb on Maxta on the VMworld sponsor/exhibitor list, it states that they eliminate the need for storage arrays, provide enterprise class data services and has full virtualization integration from UI to data management.
So on the face of it, Maxta is another converged solution, similar in many respects to VMware's own Virtual SAN, Nutanix, Simplivity, etc. So what makes Maxta so different? Kiran shared his views with me here.
vSphere 5.x, NFS, VAAI-NAS & IPv6 Support
A short note to clarify something that has come up a number of times in recent weeks here at VMware. There have been a number of discussions about whether or not we support NFS over IPv6 on vSphere 5.x, and again, on whether or not we support the VAAI-NAS primitives in the same context.
VAAI is an API for offloading tasks to the storage array, but for offloading tasks to NAS arrays, storage vendors need to create their own plugins for the ESXi hosts to achieve this. You can learn more about VAAI-NAS by clicking here. So what about IPv6 support and NFS? And VAAI-NAS?
A closer look at Kaminario
As many of you are aware, I was at VMworld in San Francisco last week. I wrote a number of articles about some VMware storage announcements, such as EVO:RAIL, VAIO and VVols. However there were, as usual, quite a number of storage vendors at this years conference. One of the vendors that I really want to learn more about was Kaminario, an all flash array vendor that I'd heard a lot of things about. I had the pleasure of spending some time at the Kaminario booth with Shai Maskit who is a senior Product Manager with Kaminario. I posed my usual set of questions to learn a bit more about their AFA products. Continue reading
EMC XtremIO revisited – a chat with Vinay Gaonkar
On a recent trip to VMware in Palo Alto, I found some time to visit with a good pal of mine, Vinay Gaonkar, who is now the Product Manager for XtremIO over at EMC. Vinay used to be a storage PM at VMware (he worked on the initial phases of VVols), and we worked together on a number of storage items in various vSphere releases. It's been almost 2 years since I last spoke to the XtremIO folks (VMworld 2012 in fact, when the product still had not become generally available), so I thought that this would be a good time to catch up with them, as we are in the run up to VMworld 2014.
VAAI-NAS, vCloud Director and Cloning Offload Strangeness
I was in a conversation with one of my pals over at Tintri last week (Fintan), and he observed some strange behaviour when provisioning VMs from a catalog in vCloud Director (vCD). When he disabled Fast Provisioning, he expected that provisioning further VMs from the catalog would still be offloaded via the VAAI-NAS plugin. All the ESXi hosts have the VAAI-NAS plugin from Tintri installed. However, it seems that the provisioning/cloning operation was not being offloaded to the array, and the ESXi hosts resources were being used for the operation instead. Deployments of VMs from the catalogs were taking minutes rather than seconds. What was going on?
VAAI UNMAP Performance Considerations
I was involved in some conversations recently on how the VAAI UNMAP command behaved, and what were the characteristics which affected its performance. For those of you who do not know, UNMAP is our mechanism for reclaiming dead or stranded space from thinly provisioned VMFS volumes. Prior to this capability, the ESXi host had no way of informing the storage array that the space that was being previously consumed by a particular VM or file is no longer in use. This meant that the array thought that more space was being consumed than was actually the case. UNMAP, part of the vSphere APIs for Array Integration, enables administrators to overcome tho challenge by telling the array that these blocks on a thin provisioned volume are no longer in use and that they can be reclaimed.

Okay, So I went flying today(my 3rd flight). During my 2nd flight, My Pole Cat just stopped responding to any input on the tx (no aileron, elevator, rudder or throttle) suddenly during a flight, and it just nosedived to the ground. I thought this was because of my tx, but it isn't. This happened many times today too, I just suddenly lost control of the plane during flight, and it nosedived, causing damage to the nose and tail of the plane.
Is it my reciever?
Should I call HH product support?
Thanks in advance,
|Oct 08, 2011, 09:53 AM
First thing I would check is my lipos. I had a micro dive in when a lipo had its voltage go so low that the receiver stopped functioning. I tossed that lipo. You can try lowering the throttle to idle and see if you regain control. Ensure that your lipos are getting a full charge. Also check the charge of the transmitter. If all of these things are okay contact Horizon for advice/help.

Do you have the means to check your lipo charging circuit? If it is happening with all of your lipos the charger could be suspect. You did not mention what you are using for a charger.
|Oct 08, 2011, 09:01 PM
What is your full charge voltage read with a voltmeter?

Oh, I'm using a stock charger, and I've charged my batteries with all 3 of my stock chargers. Unfortunately, my voltmeter broke a few weeks ago, and I haven't had time to replace it.
These batteries work fine with my Champ, and I range tested my polecat vs my Champ, and there is definitely an issue with the Polecat. So its pretty much narrowed down to the reciever IMO.
BTW, HH is sending me a new AR6400, and it ships out only on October 14th, so if I find a solution before then, I can cancel the order.
|Oct 09, 2011, 10:56 PM
Got two more flights on my polecat. Getting very comfortable with it, as far as aerobatics go. I also really enjoy the slow flying and touch n goes :-) Hope you are all enjoying it as much as I! now just need a way to light it up because I seem to be flying it alot at sundown right after work when the wind dies down to nothing. All the people passing by seem to love the the plane too. Looks stellar and can fly so smooth.
|Oct 10, 2011, 04:37 PM
Add mind to the pile
I got 3-4 flights outdoors about a week ago and then took the Pole Cat indoors wednesday night. it was flying good and i was having fun, not doing anything too dramatic, just getting a feel for it in the small space. Suddenly it rolled over and dove for the floor and bounced. When I picked it up the rudder was a full deflection. I unplugged and replugged the battery, tried a fresh battery, no joy. Today I finally got time to open it up and I rolled the servo gear to recenter the servo manually with the power off. plug a fresh battery in, and the rudder immediately goes to full deflection. Motor runs, other servos are fine, just a fully deflected rudder. I am waiting a call back from Horizon support now as I write this. Depending on what they want to do, I figure I can swap in one of my decommissioned 4-Site bricks to get back in the air. Very strange that it's all these rudder servos. Almost seems like there is a bad trace on the PCB for the brick and it burns/vibrates open after a while.

haha love this little zippy plane. I am fairly new to the hobby, but grew bored of the high wing planes real fast. This is my first aileron plane (well 1st in 28 years). Programmed DX6i with expo and limited travel. My maiden lasted about 10 seconds. Digger. The 2nd flight lasted about 10 seconds. hehe uh oh tail fin busted off.
So I went home and flew the sim for about an hour of flying with various aerobatic planes. Extra, Edge, biplanes. Then went out anew to fly the polecat again. Flew it beautifully till the battery died. Then another battery. Love the speed. rolls, loops, immelmans, the lot.
As for these parkzone planes suddenly stopping&dropping: I find they don't like running WOT for more than 20 seconds or so. They run fine at 50%-80% for me (I have 3 PZ micro planes). Would be nice to have one with electrics made to a higher standard though.

I usually don't fly at WOT at all, so I'm quite surprised at why my bird should do that, but I'm expecting a UPS delivery with my replacement AR6400L any time this week or early next week.

mine had a bad brick, first few flights wents fine, but around the 4th it started losing bind. called horizon about it and they sent me a new brick, havent had any issues since (aside from destroying the tail on a goal post....just got my replacement parts, lol)

The RTF transmitter must NOT be pointed at the airplane or radio contact is lost when far away. Point the transmitter to one side a little so its antenna is parallel to the antenna on the airplane.
I had two bricks lock the rudder servo to one side. It is caused by the motor nicking the two rear pcb printed wires in a nosedive or when the motor gearbox comes loose. One brick also had the LED disconnected. I cut one wire to the servo and the Polecat flies like new (the rudder didn't do much anyway, it just made it fly a little sideways like a crab).

I'm using an at&t sim in this phone but it won't use their lte. Is it possible to enable their band on the Verizon chipset? Is the chipset simply software limited or is it a completely different chip?
I'm wondering if flashing the AT&T modem is an option.

Are you really desperate enough to ask CDCers (mainly 13-16 year olds) for relationship advice? Would you really trust people who are still probably virgins, for advice on whether you should date a model? I think 90% of the people on this site would say yes to any girl, because i highly doubt they would be able to get a model of any age. Just Sayin'
What is your obsession with people being virgins?
It's pathetic. What are you? God's gift to earth?

Down to earth and soulful: looking for last stop. I'm a free spirit and believe in following one's heart, and more importantly, one's fears. I'm a great lover of the outdoors: hiking, kayaking, skiing, sailing, diving...I'm active, and am looking for someone to enjoy those kinds of activities with me. Love to laugh, love the ocean, love to travel, love kids and dogs, BBQ's, and nights out (and in). Am generally trying to keep life as simple as possible, and to have a good time. Life is too short. Just bought a house in January (conflicts with keeping life simple doesn't it?) Finding it humbling and slightly life threatening as I struggle with a lawn mower and with the use power tools for basic home repair. Am totally aware that the neighbors are killing themselves laughing as I struggle with the lawn mower I just bought. Just mastered my technique on the BBQ (Ok. White lie. Points if you can help w that one too). Looking for someone warm hearted, sincere, emotionally and financially stable and happy. Must love kids. I have a little girl who is my biggest blessing. I love adventure travel, exploring the unpaved roads and trekking off the beaten path. You: kind, spiritually aware, and looking for a relationship based on honesty, friendship, and lasting connection.

Oakland Police Radios Failed During Obama's Visit To City
Originally published on Thu July 26, 2012 11:48 am
"A major portion of Oakland's troubled police radio system failed shortly after President Obama's visit on Monday, leaving many of the 100 officers assigned to handle presidential security unable to communicate as protesters roamed the streets, police said Wednesday," the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
"It was a train wreck," Lt. Fred Mestas, who was on duty at the time, told the newspaper. The problems lasted about 30 minutes, he said. But, "when you have the president there, 30 seconds is too long."
The system was having problems both before, during and after the president's appearance at a fundraiser inside the city's Fox Theater, according to the Chronicle.
The Chronicle has previously reported about the "dead zones" that plague the Oakland police radio system, which cost $18 million and went into operation just last year. The failure of a cooling unit on a transmission tower is being blamed for Monday's problems.

Image Comics officially announced the Sci-Fi comic Fear Agent, and the secret of the creative team behind the book.
Fear Agent's first story arc will feature Eisner nominated Tony Moore (The Walking Dead) and he will be joined by fellow Eisner nominee, Cory Walker (Invincible). The two will rotate on five issues story arcs through the future of the series.
"Fear Agent is our attempt to return sci-fi to its proper place–to do it the way we think Mr. Wally Wood would have wanted it," writer/co-creator Rick Remender said in an Image press release. "We're here to tell big stories packed full of over-the-top monsters and high adventures where the stakes are as simple and primal as basic survival."
Moore will be handling issues 1-5, and Walker will hop on issues 6-10. Moore plans to return for issue 11-15. The series will also feature
"When Rick and Tony asked me to join the team they presented the book as an opportunity to make the best comic book we were capable of," Walker said an Image press release. "The challenge to do better than our best work was enticing but in the end it came down to premise, I love the genre. We're setting out to make Sci-Fi the new horror."
To get the word out, Image has rushed a special edition preview comic to print as well as full sized limited edition movie posters. The comics will sport an exclusive jam cover by Walker and Moore as well as six full pages from each of their runs. The comics and posters will be limited to 2000 copies and will be available exclusively from Rick, Cory and Tony at the summer's two largest comic conventions.
"Tony and Cory are with out question two of the most talented artists in comics today," said Remender in the press release. "With Tony and Cory feeding off of each other artistically I'm seeing both of them reach new heights on Fear Agent. But don't trust my biased opinion– the art speaks for itself."
Issues 1-5 will be written by Remender with art by Moore, inks by Sean Parsons, and colors by Lee Loughridge. Issues 6-10 will be written by Remender with art by Walker, and colors by Brian Buccellato. The title is available for order in the August Previews catalog.

Marthanda Varma Sankaran Valiathan (Malayalam: എം.എസ്. വല്യത്താന്; born 24 May 1934) is an Indian cardiac surgeon. He is a former president of the Indian National Science Academy and contributed to the development of medical technology in India. .[citation needed] He is currently a National Research Professor of the Government of India, located in Manipal University.[1] He was awarded the Padma Vibhushan in 2005. He was made a Hunterian Professor of the Royal College of Surgeons of England in 1969 and a Chevalier in the order of Palmes Academiques, an honour bestowed by the French government, in 1999. He received the Dr. Samuel P. Asper International Award from Johns Hopkins University in 2009 for his contributions to international medical education.
Early life and education[edit]
He was born to Marthanda and Janaki Varma in 1934. His early education was at a government school in Mavelikara and then at University College, Trivandrum. Valiathan's medical education began at the University of Kerala, Trivandrum, where he studied from 1951 to 1956.[2] He later went to University of Liverpool in Liverpool, England as a surgical trainee and received his fellowship from the Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh and England in 1960.[2] After a brief stint as a faculty member at the Post Graduate Institute of Medical Education and Research, Chandigarh he underwent further training in cardiac surgery at the Johns Hopkins, George Washington, and Georgetown University Hospitals, USA.[2] There he worked as Fellow of Doctors Vincent Gott and Charles A. Hufnagel who strongly influenced him and instilled a lifelong interest in biomedical innovation.
. He was also granted a fellowship at the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada.
Academic career[edit]
He served on the faculty of the Georgetown University Hospital, Post Graduate Institute of Medical Education and Research, Indian Institute of Technology, Madras and the Sree Chitra Thirunal Institute of Medical Sciences and Technology. When he headed the Sree Chitra Institute from 1974 to 1994, it was granted the status of an Institution of National Importance by an act of parliament by the central government ( 1980 ). Subsequently, Valiathan became the first Vice-Chancellor of Manipal University.
Sree Chitra Tirunal Institute (1974–1994)[edit]
In 1972, Valiathan returned to India and had difficulty getting a job, when he shortly worked at Safdarjung Hospital in New Delhi. Soon after he moved to Indian Institute of Technology Madras and he found that he was teaching but could do no research. Several friends and colleagues, including Dr. Hufnagel believed that he had made a foolish mistake in opting to leave the United States. Unexpectedly he then got an invitation from the Government of Kerala. The Chief Minister of Kerala, Achutha Menon, asked him to develop a hospital for specialities in the new, unoccupied building of Sree Chitra Tirunal Center, Trivandrum, and gave him freedom and authority to develop it. Within 2 years patients were admitted for the treatment of cardiovascular and neurologic diseases, and the development of cardiovascular devices followed. As Sree Chitra grew, it got support from the prime minister Morarji Desai and the institute was notified as "An Institute of National Importance" by an Act of Parliament within five years of Dr.Valiathan joining at its helm. The hospital services started initially, and funds were subsequently obtained to develop biomaterials and medical devices. In 1975, the demand for prosthetic valves was high in the hospital but import was too expensive. The state of Kerala had but one licensed unit which slaughtered less than 200 pigs per month, which made procine valve development unviable. As autopsies were much fewer, homograft valve development was even less viable. Dr. Valiathan and his team then decided to develop a mechanical valve with a tilting-disc design. The Chitra-TTK valve that is currently marketed is the fourth model that was developed over a decade of collaborative effort in India. In the first model, the major and minor struts were electron beam welded and the valve was expected to withstand 360 million cycles of disc movement. Unfortunately, the major strut fractured at the weld after a mere 100,000 cycles due to weld embrittlement. In the second model, the disk was made of single crystal sapphire which was inert and blood compatible. The housing was carved out of a block of titanium. This model failed as well, because of the extensive wear of titanium struts and the escape of the disc. The third model had a housing made of a highly wear – resistant aerospace superalloy, called "Haynes-25", a cobalt based alloy of chromium, nickel and tungsten. This model went through all the tests successfully and several sheep with the implanted valve were alive and well for months until the death of one animal at 3 months after valve implantation. Necropsy showed that the sapphire disc had fractured in the animal. This was a major crisis as critics and media did not spare the team.
The fourth model was a success.
More than 75,000 valves have been implanted in patients (till 2012) and over 1200 are being produced monthly. The valves are also being exported to other countries.The multidisciplinary team at the Sree Chitra Institute led by Dr.Valiathan, developed a series of disposable devices such as blood bag, oxygenator and cardiotomy reservoir, and a vascular graft which are in commercial production in several industrial units in Kerala and Tamil Nadu.[3]
Current work[edit]
After twenty years at Sri Chitra, in 1994 Dr.Valiathan became the Vice-Chancellor of the newly set up Manipal University (then MAHE, Manipal Academy of Higher Education), where his wife Dr. Ashima Valiathan was a Professor in the Dental College. Several years earlier, he had the opportunity to give a Founder's Day lecture in memory of Vaidyaratnam P.S. Varier, who pioneered the revival of Ayurveda in the early 20th century at Kottakal, Kerala, where he spoke on Sushruta, the pioneer surgeon of ancient India. Subsequently he was invited to give the Gandhi Memorial Lecture at the Raman Research Institute, Bangalore, where he spoke on Charaka – whose classic of the 1st century A.D.remains the foundational text of Ayurveda even today. After laying down office as Vice-Chancellor in 1999, he was awarded a Senior Fellowship by the Homi Bhabha Council to pursue a study of Charaka, which culminated in a book called the "Legacy of Charaka".
In an interview, Dr. Valiathan said, "At this time there is no common ground where physicists, chemists, immunologists and molecular biologists can interact with Ayurvedic physicians. Ayurveda is not only the mother of medicine but also of all life sciences in India. In spite of it, science has been completely divorced from Ayurveda... But these are the interdisciplinary areas where advances will take place."[3] Earlier in another article, he had written, "To ignore the testimony of thousands of patients over many decades is reminiscent of the derisive attitude of Edward Jenner's contemporaries in Gloucestershire who despised the claim of milkmaids that cow pox gave them protection from small pox! When Jenner wrote to his mentor John Hunter on the observed facts and the arguments against it, Hunter gave his famous reply, "Why think? Why not experiment?". That applies to Ayurveda whose time to experiment has arrived.[4]
Currently, Dr. Valiathan is engaged in promoting research in basic science, based on cues from Ayurvedic concepts and procedures. The research in prominent institutes is being supported by government funding in the form of "A Science Initiative in Ayurveda" (ASIIA). In his report, during the seventeenth meeting of the Scientific Advisory Committee to the Cabinet (SAC-C) in 2009, under the Chairmanship of Dr. R. Chidambaram, Principal Scientific Adviser to the Government of India, Dr.Valiathan lauded the support of the Indian government while presenting an update on ongoing projects.[5] ASIIA made good progress and has been taken over by the Department of Science and Technology, Government of India, for regular support under a "Task Force in Ayurvedic Biology", which appears on the DST website. He has given a course of video lectures on ` The Ayurvedic Inheritance of India ' under the NPTEL program of the IITs of India ( http://www.nptel.iitm.ac.in)
Awards and honors[edit]
As a Homi Bhabha Senior Fellow and a student of Sanskrit, he carried out a study of the "Caraka Samhita", which was published by Orient Longman in 2003 as "The Legacy of Caraka". The companion volumes on the Legacies of "The Great Three" of Ayurveda – Suśruta and Vagbhata – were released by the same publisher in 2006 and 2009. A new book "An Introduction to Ayurveda" has been released by the same publisher in 2013.
Dr.Valiathan's contributions to medical sciences and technology have brought him many honours and awards such as the Fellowships of the Indian Academy of Sciences, Indian National Science Academy, National Academy of Sciences, National Academy of Medical Sciences, Indian National Academy of Engineering, Third World Academy of Sciences, American College of Cardiology, the Royal College of Physicians of London and the International Union of Societies of Biomaterials and Engineering. He is a Hunterian Professor of the Royal College of Surgeons of England and a Senior Member of the Society of Thoracic Surgeons of the United States and the Society of Cardiothoracic Surgeons of Great Britain. The French Government has honoured him by making him a Chevalier in the order of Palmes Academiques. He is a recipient of many Awards for Science, Technology and Education, which include the R.D. Birla Award, O.P. Bhasin Award, Jawaharlal Nehru Award, Dhanwantari Prize, Aryabhata medal, Basanti Devi Amirchand Prize, J.C. Bose medal, Kerala State Science and Technology Award, B.C. Guha Award, Pinnamaneni Foundation Award, Sat Pal Mittal Award, G.M. Modi Award, M. V. Pylee Award, and H.K. Firodia Award. He received the Dr. Samuel P. Asper International Award from the Johns Hopkins University, USA for his contributions to medical education.
Professor Valiathan served on numerous Government committees and academic councils which pertain to education, medicine, science and technology. These include, among many others, the University Grants Commission, Indian Council of Medical Research, Science and Engineering Research Council of the DST, Atomic Energy Regulatory Board and the Science Advisory Committee to the Cabinet. He was the Chairman of the Committee on Bioethics of the Indian Council of Medical Research and was previously the Chairman of the State Committee for Science, Technology and Environment of the Government of Kerala. He is a past President of the Association of Indian Universities.

Every Chinese company is a fraud. This is a fact of business.... Always 2 sets of books and every trick pulled to hide bad things - Just like China government hides everything bad. So do all the companies.
People make money regardless whether the stock is rising or falling. It is widely known fact. Professionals borrow stocks from super fund to make money when the stock is falling more than expected. This does not apply to ordinary household traders because they don't have the backing from institutional organisation and resources. It is not a matter of fraud. Chinese never develop this skill of short selling in the market. Dangerous skill but quite rewarding!!!!

China's territorial ambitions in the East and South China seas are by now well-documented. Much less understood is one of the key factors in the country's ability to realize those ambitions: an increasingly well-funded and capable maritime militia.
China now has a key tool for sidestepping weak government enforcement of pollution controls, but only if it's allowed to function as intended.
The U.S. has been urging allies to steer clear of Asia's new China-led infrastructure investment bank. Robert Zoellick, former president of the World Bank, calls that approach mistaken on multiple levels.
Can legal reform and Communist Party control coexist in a way that will benefit Chinese governance and society?This is the question that confronts the country in the wake of its annual legislative gathering.
China's just-concluded legislative sessions seem to be another example of the deinstitutionalization of politics under Xi Jinping. Months from now, these meetings won't be seen as harbingers of reform, so much as another lost opportunity, writes CRT analyst Russell Moses.

Planting a new tree on top of old
About 5 years ago I had an old birch tree removed and the stump ground down about 5 inches below the surface. It had a base of about 42-45 inches. I'd like to plant a new tree directly on the spot where the stump is because it is directly in the center of where the sprinklers spray. If I offset the tree, there will end up being a brown spot where the new tree would block the water.
I contacted a guy who grinds stumps and he said he could grind the stump down another 16". Would that be far enough down? The stump is hard near the surface but rotting below a few inches.
Is it at all feasible for me to put the new maple tree on the exact spot where my old birch tree was? I know it is not preferable.
Is it at all feasible for me to put the new maple tree on the exact spot
If you are sure it is already rotting under the soil and it is an area that sounds like it stays pretty moist from watering especially if you are in zone 5 in the northeast due to how generally wet your climate is, by the time the maple gets some size to it, the old birch roots may not pose much of a problem succumbing to rot and decay . HOWEVER, the old birch being 4' in diameter does make me wonder how large the roots underground are. Some maybe close to 3'... why not dig a couple feet away to explore what is actually under the soil and see if you encounter any humongous roots. If you plant a couple feet from the old stump, you could make a large mulch ring (small garden bed) for the new tree and plant some perennials on top of the old stump area. I would add some soil on top of the old stump for the perennials to give a little extra room for the roots.
Of course this is all dependent on whether or not you run in to some monster roots during exploration. I would not plant directly on top of the old stump personally.
I would also be hesitant to do so unless I had a very good handle on the root situation from the previous tree. I have done it once and used a very slow-growing and small replacement. To date the replacment is doing well, but I do not expect a large amount of new root growth for years, at which time there should be no competition with what is left of the previous planting. That being said I am comfortable with using stock as small as two year and being successful with it. Not something everybody would be committed to.
what.. you want more than one word ...
to rot.. the dead stuff underground needs water.. which it will steal from the new one.. and uses nitrogen in the breakdown process ... and can cause heat.. which might not be conducive to the babes roots ...
i figure you will be hard pressed to hold moisture at depth.. where the new plants roots are supposed to be happy ...
think of it this way.. could you plant one in an active compost pile???? i say NO .... how then are the rotting roots not an underground compost pile ???
i would not spend more money on grinding it deeper..
and all the grindings should be removed from the area.. it will be great compost in a year or two.. but you will be hard pressed to grow even grass in or on it.. right now ...
start digging hole out 3 to 4 feet from the old trunk.. until you find a space big enough.. in native soil.. to plant you new tree ... and avoid the whole mess entirely ...
you have set yourself in a box .. of wanting the new.. in PRECISELY the same spot.. step out of the box.. and find an alternative ...
ps: be prepared for a spectacular mushroom show.. over the next few years.. as the old roots rot .. consider a FREE show of mother nature ... and ignore it.. it will go away.. when the wood is fully rotted .. they are in fact.. aiding the rotting process .. its natures way .. refer to link
Here is a link that might be useful: link
Trees grow into and out of old trees and stumps all the time in the woods. On a recent trip to Maine, I saw no less than 3(!!) seedling conifers growing OUT OF a stump. I also have a miniature forest growing in and around a huge old dead for a decade oak on the property. The rotting roots don't seem to be of a problem for the 100 or so trees growing around it. And you are planting a water seeking fiend maple that will put roots everywhere possible. Probably will end up putting roots into the rotting birch roots that soak up water and slowing make them crack into smaller pieces. Heck in all honesty, you could add a couple feet of topsoil directly on top of the stump, plant a maple out of a 5 gallon container, mulch it, and water it for a year and I bet it would grow just fine. But I would still go at least a couple feet away from the stump and put a big ole mulch ring around the new tree.
It would be hard to tell... Was the tree dead and well on its way to rotting? There's a stump in my backyard (pretty punky by now) that has a few eastern red cedars sprouting out of it. I've even got a redbud in the front yard with cedars sprouting in it!
If the tree was still alive when you cut it down, then the roots are probably still hard - Roots will not penetrate hard wood. Being a birch, though, it will probably rot down pretty quickly. How much moisture do you get in a year? Around here we get about 40 inches a year on average (not this year!), and stumps and logs rot down pretty quickly.
Trees grow into and out of old trees and stumps all the time in the woods. On a recent trip to Maine, I saw no less than 3(!!) seedling conifers growing OUT OF a stump.
===>>> and how long did that stump sit there and rot.. before the seedlings came along..
one decade..
two decades.... three ...
for all we know.. it was fully rotted ... but structurally intact ...
besides.. seeds can do things.. that plants with 95% of their roots cut off in the transplant process ...
The point is rotting/rotted wood is not a deterrent to roots of growing trees. You know good and well if wood is kept very wet from a lawn watering system in an already area already prone to having high percip amounts without excessive prolonged heat, the wood will rot fairly quickly, especially a birch.
ps - a tree need not even be dead to support seedlings. I have seen trees with cavities that have accumulated debris growing seedling junipers. Also, potted trees do not have 95% root loss at planting more like 0-5%
I'm confused. I've been told repeatedly (and read) that with root rot from the "water mold?" phytoria, that the spores remain in the ground and wait for susceptible hosts then attack. Then I'm told in places where this occurs, NOT to replant with anything susceptible... even if drainage is increased, etc. When it's in your whole yard, then I'm stuck... I see things very prone to root rot (hydrangeas, viburnums, etc) growing in the woods and think surely there's been phytoria there?? But then I'm told by arborist I can't plant fringe trees, etc as they aRE (and have been damaged) and seven sons, viburnums, etc b/c if/when they contact any diseased wood deeper in ground or spores that can be airborn or water, even if planted high with much better drainage, they'll succumb..
Obviously, tearing up the yard and ammending, etc stirs eveything up and then I'm told not to plant anything except highly resistant and even then wait, longer is better...
It doesn't make sense, is it true that these trees I love (and have in pots, though some suffering through rot from being attackted by nearby thing) won't live if they survive their pot time/recovery? obviously, heavy clay soil, overwatering are out for some things, but... other areas where trees were lost from the disease but old roots still remain deep and lethal?? Reportedly with mobilizing their spores??
Please PLEASE help me make sense of this?? As I dig deep to break up clay, etc I still find the black or red/yucky remains of stuff, and like it or not, it's impossible to keep quaranteed..
Amy, simply put, your situation is something of an outlier. While phytopthera is a very real and potentially very destructive group of soil-inhabiting fungi, it is simply not true that most places are under such attack. Thankfully, it is a relative rarity.
While I do agree with Ken that OP has boxed herself in with the insistence that new tree go right on top of where old one was, I also agre with j0nd that there are several work-arounds. And that in nature, it is known that new trees in a forest stand actively use old root channels-of now deceased trees-to obtain easy rooting pathways. This has been documented. Also true-birch roots will not last long in a moist situation. Nor is the presence of underground root systems decomposing equatable to active compost heaps. There is nowhere near the heat generation in this situation. It's a very cold decomposition by comparison.
very tired at present +om, but read your message. it conflicts with the "old farmer" at the garden center today, but what the hell else am i to do, I can't overwinter 2 fringe trees and everything else, they'll die, I can't afford the right type of potting mix, i still have to fix drainage... the birch roots aren't the problem side, that's the bog side (well??) where there's a silver maple and elm (neighbors that have their roots just broken underneath (too wet) and smelling... maybe that's not bad, but until drainage improves somehow, only button bush survives...that's the side with no privacy
Other side is possible contaminated, it's steep slope, neighbor has old funky rotting fence that gets scary looking jungle looking red mushrooms (I worry about the dogs) and the weeds and CRAP that come from that are..oout of control, plus ivy rampant that just takes over, and his declining white pine roots, and then... chemicals??? that's a scary side, nothing grows..and the erosion washes bad things down that way and the other direction,
still some time... I feel I'm running out, learned a bit more from old gardener today... after his initial grouchy...he reinforced my notion that growing in pots in hard (no duh), he uses mix of leaf mold and simple pine bark. I told him I have now $4.25 for over a week, so I can't afford yet... funny my RIVER BIRCH died in moist situation... that lady from that garden cetner again didn't show, I lost a lot from them, that was their fault.. oh well, kinda wiped out.
Depends on how big the maple tree is. You could get away with a small one with little problem. The larger tree you plant, the further down you'll need to dig to plant it.
I wouldn't worry about the previous tree causing problems once you've got the new one comfortably in the ground. As said already... trees die in the woods all the time and new trees grow up around, even right on top of them.
I planted a Red Sunset maple on top of a stump of a recently self destructed Bradford pear in a 2 foot by 2 foot tree pit in the sidewalk. No way around that. The city ground the pear down about 8 inches under the surface. I was aware that there'd be a lack of nitrogen while the pear rotted. Four years later and the maple is doing fine. I figured the roots would find their way around the pear until it decays.
I have planted a Species southerm Magnolia about 3 ft from a old red maple stump, and it is nicer than the same type tree in another part of my yard. I tried burning the stump with kerosene previously. It's only been a year or 2 after removing the red maple. That's my experience anyway. Here's a pic from this past spring I hope it does as well once the roots spread out more.

If most rappers dropped a record titled "For the Love of Money," I'd know exactly what to expect: a street-ready hustle anthem expressing the artist's all-consuming lust for paper. You can trust Danny!, however, to take the road less traveled. On the lead single off his next project, the Carolina underground mainstay reflects on the evil deeds that have been performed in pursuit of lucre, before switching gears to chronicle the rise and fall of a dealer he knew in his adolescent years. The artist's own boardwork, a tense, yet understated groove featuring a fluid bassline and an ominous chromatic bell loop, backs his thoughtful bars. The project to which this joint is attached has yet to receive a title, nor has it been assigned a drop date by the Hype Music/Okayplayer brass, but we'll keep you posted as further details emerge.

Berkshire Hathaway's 1Q profit doubles
Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway Inc. says its first-quarter profit more than doubled because its insurance units avoided major disaster losses and the paper value of its derivative contracts improved. Berkshire said Friday that it generated $3.245 billion net income, or $1,966 per Class A share. That's up from last year's $1.511 billion net income, or $917 per Class A share. Last year's results were hurt by $1.1 billion in insurance losses from the Japanese earthquake and tsunami, Australian floods and the New Zealand earthquake.
Debt drives plane maker to bankruptcy
Economic turbulence that has shrunk the market for business jets forced Hawker Beechcraftof Wichita, Kan., to file for bankruptcy protection this week. Hawker Beechcraft's plan would write an estimated $2.5 billion in debt off its books and eliminate almost $125 million in annual cash interest expenses. Hawker Beechcraft Corp.was purchased in a highly-leveraged deal at the peak of the general aviation market, just before the market tanked. Hawker Beechcraft employs some 7,400 people, with roughly 4,700 working at its Wichita facility.
Qantas puts Airbus superjumbo on hold
Australian flagship carrier Qantas Airways Ltd. says it is delaying delivery of two Airbus A380 planes to curb costs. The airline said Friday it would not take delivery of the A380s as scheduled in 2013. That would help it cut capital expenditure by $400 million. Instead, the double-decker superjumbos will arrive during the 2016-17 fiscal year. Qantas in February deferred for six months the delivery of the first of 50 Boeing 787 Dreamliners it had ordered.
Sprint CEO cuts his pay by $3.25M
Sprint Nextel CEO Dan Hesse on Friday said he's cutting his 2012 pay by $3.25 million after shareholder complaints about how his 2011 pay was calculated. Sprint's board bases the CEO's pay on the company's performance, but departed from its guidelines last year to exclude the cost of selling the iPhone. That boosted Hesse's pay. "I do not want ... to penalize Sprint employees for the company's investment with Apple," he said.

UT Southwestern molecular microbiology graduate student Andrew Revel, a lead author of the study, found the bptA gene by screening a number of candidate genes he thought might be affecting the survivability of Bb within its hosts. The research team had hypothesized that the elimination of the gene would somehow impact the pathogenesis of Lyme disease in mammals, but they found no evidence of that. Knockout bacteria not only survived within mice, but also produced Lyme disease in the animals.
"That's when we began to look more in the tick," Dr. Norgard said. "It wasn't until we went through the later stages of tick feeding ?allowing the ticks to feed on mice, waiting a couple of months for the tick to molt, then refeeding them ?that we began to see the effect. Our results required a much more comprehensive assessment of the total life cycle of the bacterium, as opposed to just focusing on the mammalian infection, which is what many scientists tend to do."

Reviews are in for Monday's columns:
Mr Blair
Your constant denigration of the Left is very sad. It will be the Lefties who will save us from the environmental and social mess that you right-wing wreckers have created. Yes you may nit-pick a few faults we have but at least we don't have a disingenuous and mal-intentional streak running through us like your lot has.
You blather that Lefties use Twitter irresponsibly. Well good sir your lot uses the environment, corporations, governments etc irresponsibly!!!
Go take a look at yourselves with the same critical analysis.
Oh but silly me - thats what makes right-wing automatons what they are - they lack the ability to be introspective.
But there is always hope as I used to be a narrow-minded Liberal voting so and so. But I finally came good.
I hope you will one day soon see the light and turn Left yourself.
Mr Leftoid
Thank you, Mr Fras … er, Mr Leftoid. Next up is Jay S.:
In your two pieces today you write in one how twitter has become a source for wrongly made accusations that lack any evidence.
In the next you mock the science of climate change. The science to which every National Academy of Science in the world has used evidence to reach consensus on. You also mock the overwhelming evidence and mislead why it is called climate change not just global warming. E.g. ocean acidification.
You do not speak for the right of the political ideology. please STOP. I do not wish society to go back pre enlightenment.
I believe in free markets but also science and intervention when market failures occur.
shame on you for not being objective about science. Childish mocking, and zero evidence contributes nothing to constructive political or societal outcomes.
what evidence do you need to stop these attacks on our scientific community?
Either "any" or "actual" will do. Greg G. emails:
Are you implying that anthropogenic climate change is not occurring. Are we not past that skepticism yet. I can only conclude that you haven't seen the science, which is abundant, behind climate change or just plain refuse to believe it. Refer to the IPCC report but I'm sure you may have read this already.
On the use of terms, 'weather' refers to short term events like storms, and the causes of the water spouts we saw yesterday. Climate refers to long term patterns generally considered to be around 30 years in length.
P.S. Please, no more Bieber.
I promise nothing. Click a letter to read previous column reviews.

In Gaza:
IDF planes on Monday targeted and eliminated another four senior Hamas and Islamic Jihad terrorists …
In a statement, Hamas said that it could not confirm that the four had been killed by the IDF, and said that they were "out of communication range."
What a lovely way of putting it. Also "out of communication range" are six Palestinians suspected of being informers.
UPDATE. "Collaborators are a very serious issue in Palestinian society," says Issam Yousef, director of the Al Mezan Centre for – ahem – Human Rights.

Australian warmies are a crude bunch, as Professor Bunyip has observed. He'll be saddened to learn that gutter talk is a global standard among the climate-concerned classes:
Just as well so few children are listening:
Fifteen per cent of Australian children said they were concerned about climate change, compared with 2 per cent of children in developing countries.
It's a white kid thing.

IPCC boss Dr Rajendra Pachauri won't attend the UN's Climate Change Conference in Doha, and neither will Greg Combet:
For the first time in several years Australia will not be represented by a minister at a major round of international climate change negotiations, with Greg Combet set to miss talks in Doha starting next week.
May as well cancel the whole thing, then.
