Because the kidney meridian runs up the inner thighs, you can stretch it by stretching the inner thighs. Because it runs up the front of the torso either side of the your bodies center line you can also stretch it by bending the spine backwards.
The meridian stretches for the inner thighs can also be used to stretch the liver and spleen meridians since these also run up the inner thighs. The Stretches for the front of the spine can be used to also stretch the spleen and stomach meridians.
Meridian stretches for all of these meridians include stretching the inner thighs, such as when doing splits, and twisting the torso whether in an easy twist while sitting cross legged or in more complex twists like matsendrasana or baradvajrasana.
These meridians can also be opened by opening the front of the ribcage or back-bending thoracic spine. Since back bending also opens the stomach meridian, I'll restrict my desciption of back bending meridian stretches to the page that focuses on "Meridian Stretches for the front of the body."
Streches for the inner thighs include butterfly pose, frog pose, half split, full split and half moon. Note that there are at least two yoga poses called frog pose (bekasana.) This is not the same as the version found in the Ashtanga second series.
In butterfly yoga pose sit with your feet together and with your knees bent and open to the sides. Sit with you heels close to your pelvis. To begin with, sit up tall with your hands on the floor behind your. Lift your chest and lengthen your neck.
The usual instruction for this pose is to push your knees down. Instead of pushing your knees down, focus on using your leg muscles to push the sides of your feet into the floor. You may find that your knees press down anway. Perhaps more importantly, you may also find that it feels more comfortable and that it opens your hips faster.
For a slightly different meridian stretch, grab on to the outsides of your feet, and bend forwards while continuing to press your feet into the floor. Or reach your arms forwards and use the weight of your arms to help tilt your pelvis forwards.
For frog pose, open your legs to 90 degrees. Bend one knee and fold the shin outside the thigh. Turn so that your thighs are both open to 45 degrees either side of your center line. (Picture 2.) From here, reach your hands forwards and tilt your pelvis forwards. Focus on relaxing your hip joints.
If the back of your legs are really tight, sit on a block or some books. You can also try bending the straight leg knee.
Use your arms to help support the weight of your ribcage. Lower your ribcage slowly.
Work at keeping your spine long. Also work at creating space in your hip joints by reaching your knees away from your pelvis.
For the "half split" meridan stretch, bend one knee and place it on the floor. You might want to place a towel beneath it to make your knee more comfortable.
Straighten your other knee and reach that leg out to the side. Position the heel of your straight leg on the same horizontal line as your bent leg knee. Position your pelvis so that it is in line with your straight leg and bend knee.
Have your hands on the floor.
Slowly move your foot away from your knees. As you do so move your hands in the same direction so that your spine stays positioned at ninety degrees to your straight leg.
So that you can widen your legs focus on relaxing your inner thighs. See what happens when you activate your feet and when you keep them relaxed. You can also experiment with activating your outer glutes (the side hip muscles) and relaxing them.
You can either lay down on your belly and then relax to come out of the pose or you can slowly walk your thighs towards each other.
Once you are reasonably comfortable with this pose you can start of with your elbows straight and your spine bent backwards.
Activate your spinal erectors to make this an active back bend.
After a few minutes... okay after about one minute, or when you think you are as low as you can go in this position, bend your elbows and lower your chest to the floor. (If you chest won't reach the floor then use some blocks. Rest your chest on the blocks instead.)
Use your arms to slowly lift your chest and then slowly lower to the floor and relax. Then repeat. Each time you lift your chest you may notice that you are adding weight to the pose. As a result you use your body weight to help deepen the stretch. Each time you place your chest on the floor you can relax.
If your chest is on blocks, you can do the same thing, slowly lift your chest and lower it. You may notice that you can slowly reduce the height of the blocks that you are using as your inner thighs lengthen and as your legs move further apart.
(Not shown) If doing full splits, you can apply a similar technique. First of all start with your arms straight. Sink your pelvis and actively bend your spine backwards. When you are as deep as you can go, bend your elbows and rest your chest on the floor or on blocks. Lift and lower your chest using your arms. If you are using blocks, gradually reduce the height of the blocks as your inner thighs lengthen.
Where the half split and full split meridian stretches both used your body weight to lengthen your inner thighs, in half moon you use your outer hip muscles, the side gluteals, to open yoru inner thighs.
Incidentally, you may find that doing half moon pose after half split offers a nice relief to your hips.
The usual version of half moon is to turn one foot out to the side, shift your weight on to that foot. Keeping your pelvis facing the front, lift your other leg. If you shift your weight towards the toes of your standing foot so that your toes press down you may find it easier to balance. You may also find it helpful to engage the outer gluteals of your standing leg.
If you are balancing with both hands off of the floor, try bending your spine upwards (picture 1 above.)
This will cause the abs on the upper side of your body to activate. You can then use the outer gluteals of your lifted leg to lift that leg higher and stretch the meridians of the inner thigh.
If you place one hand on the floor so that the hand and leg on the same side of the body are both on the floor, you may find it easier to lift your lifted leg higher.
If you keep the abs on the upper side of your body engaged, you may find that your lower back muscles on that side "release."
Wide squat or "horse stance" is another way of doing a meridian stretch for the inner thighs. Stand with your feet wide apart and your feet turned out.
Roll your shins out so that the outer edges of your feet press into the floor. Press the base of each big toe down into the floor.
Bend your knees. As you do so focus on relaxing your hip joints as you smoothly sink your pelvis down towards the floor. Press your knees back. As your pelvis sinks down reach your ribs up. You can reach your arms to the front and spread your shoulder blades if you like. You can also see how it feels to reach your arms out to the sides or up over your head. See how long you can stay in this pose. Also see how slowly you can come up.
As with half moon pose, I find that this pose can provide a nice "relief" to the hips after doing either the half split or full split meridian stretch.
Meridian stretches for the torso can include back bending and forwards bending the spine as well as twisting it. I'll focus on two twisting poses, matsendrasna and baradvajrasana.
To do ardha matsyendrasana, bring your left heel close to your right buttock and step your right foot over your left thigh.
(If you can't do this, try either straightening your bottom leg or placing your top leg foot to the inside of your bottom leg knee.)
Position your right foot close to your knee (as opposed to towards your hip.) Grab your right knee with your left hand or place your left elbow to the outside of your right thigh. In either case use your left arm to pull the left side of your ribccage forwards. With your right hand on the floor behind your use your right hand to pull the right side of your ribcage back.
Use your hip muscle to keep your pelvis facing the front.
You can imagine turning your pelvis slightly to the left as you turn your ribcage to the right.
Focus on feeling all of your ribs (you have 12 pairs) turning to the right. You can also focus on feeling all 12 of your thoracic vetebrae turning to the right. To do this, focus on one set of ribs or one vertebrae at a time, starting at the bottom of your ribcage and working your way up.
If you can't do lotus then place your foot against your inner thigh instead (picture on the left.) If you can do lotus, then fold your left shin back, to the outside of your left thigh. Place your right foot on top of your left thigh close to the hip crease. Try to position your right heel close to the left side of your lower belly.
Reach your right hand forwards, and then reach it behind your back and grab on to your foot. Wrap a towel or strap around your foot and grab on to this if you need to.
Once you have a good grip on your foot, place your left hand on your right knee.
Try to flatten the inside edge of your right ankle. Make your right foot strong and use it as an anchor so that you can pull your right shoulder back.
If you right knee won't touch the floor, place a block beneath it and rest your knee on the block. In either case (with or without a block) press your left hand down onto your knee and lift your ribcage. Use both arms to twist and turn your ribcage.
You can Balance these inner thigh and torso stretches by stretching the side of the body.

Centration can simply taken to mean centered. And rather than looking for maximal surface contact, a more sensible definition is balanced tension.
Stay balanced in yoga balance poses, keep your center of gravity over your foundation. Learn how your center shifts relative to your body.
The single joint muscles at the back of the knee joint are relatively small compared to those at the front of the knee. For knee joint stability, activate the hamstrings as well as the three vastus muscles.
Key to improving balance and proprioception is the conscious control of tension. Tension can be used for both feedback and stability making it easier to stay balanced.
The following sacroiliac joint stability exercises can be used to shape the pelvis. They may also be helpful in forward bending and backbending at the hip.
These yoga pose upper back exercises make it easier to feel the upper back (and lower back) so that it is easier to control them both.
Three simple techniques for alleviating hip joint pain while doing yoga poses.
Hamstring Anatomy for yoga practitioners, focusing on backbending and forward bending of the hips with knees bent and straight.
Sitting bone pain while bending forwards may be a result of a facilitated (overactive) obturator internus or coccygeus muscle.
After a bit of a hiatus its back to stretching for beginners.
The latest installment is a mini sequence that works towards the half split inner thigh stretch with some prone twisting and outer thigh stretching followed by some recovery work with standing poses to help reactivate the inner thighs.

This set of poses is designed to show you how to activate the spinal erectors to bend the spine backwards so that you stretch the front of the torso. It also includes stretches like upright pigeon pose and upward facing dog for stretching the front of the hip (the hip flexors).

The latest stretch in the "Stretches for Beginners" series is a set of hip extensor stretches including happy baby and low lunge. Previous stretches in this series include bound angle (baddha konasana) and a pigeon pose hip stretch for the sides of the hip.

For well being is it better to be able to contract a muscle or relax it? I'd suggest that you learn to do both and just as importantly... Learn to feel when a muscle is activated and when it is relaxed.
The key to both is...
The yoga basics bundle is a collection of five yoga basics ebooks: balance basics, shoulder basics, backbend basics, hamstring basics and the hip control guide all for $52.00. (The suggested regular price is $124.95)
Consciousness is like the Captain of a ship. At times the ship it commands can be very big with lots of sailors to tell what to do, at other times the captain is sailing solo, taking care of the sails and the tiller.
This is a mini-routine that I've been using in my classes recently to teach awareness and control of the foundation in poses like
table top, high lunge, low lunge, extended cat pose, and yoga push ups (leading to chaturanga dandasana.)
This can lead to smoother and more mindful movement.
Tensegrity basics: tension doesn't just integrate the body, it can be used for proprioception and for responsiveness and quicker reactions.
What is proper yoga alignment for handstand? Why not learn to feel and control your shoulders and ribcage so that you can learn to feel when your body is best aligned.
In this video some tips for body weight squat and the one legged pistol squat with a focus on "feeling your body."
Why do a pistol squat? To improve hip strength and left/right hip balance. This may help to alleviate low back pain.

Wonder what the total street value of these text books was?
Interesting that a cop from Menlo Park walkshaving been caught engaging a prostitute while on the job walks .. a killer from Redwood City goes free .. and this poor schlub gets hard time (40 months) for stealing some booksthat have little value outside a very narrow educational setting. (BTWwhat's this costing the taxpayerthis 40 months in the pokey? Is it really worth putting this yoyo on ice, for what is no doubt hundreds of thousands of our dollarsbecause of a few books?)

An iceberg about the size of Luxembourg, which struck a glacier off Antarctica dislodging another massive block of ice, could lower oxygen levels in the world's oceans, Australian and French scientists said on Friday.
The two icebergs are now drifting together about 100 to 150 km off Antarctica, following the collision on February 12 or 13, said Australian Antarctic Division glaciologist Neal Young.
"It gave it a pretty big nudge," Mr. Young said of the 97- km-long iceberg that collided with the giant floating Mertz Glacier and shaved off a new iceberg. "They are now floating right next to each other."
The new iceberg is 78 km long and about 39 km wide and holds roughly the equivalent of a fifth of the world's annual total water usage, Mr. Young said.
Experts are concerned about the effect of the massive displacement of ice on the ice-free water next to the glacier, which is important for ocean currents.
This area of water had been kept clear because of the glacier, said Steve Rintoul, a leading climate expert. With part of the glacier gone, the area could fill with sea ice and disrupt the ability for the dense and cold water to sink.
This sinking water is what spills into ocean basins and feeds the global ocean currents with oxygen.
As there are only a few areas in the world where this occurs, a slowing of the process would mean less oxygen into the deep currents that feed the oceans.
"There may be regions of the world's oceans that lose oxygen, and then of course most of the life there will die," said Mario Hoppema, a German-based chemical oceanographer.

Senior Product Designer (User Experience)
Why playing in this band rocks:
- Impact. We are changing how the world experiences music. Everyday your design decisions will be seen and impact how millions of people choose, listen and share music in all the moments of their lives.
- Trust. We believe the best type of work occurs when small multi-discipline teams put their heads and skills together to solve problems and come up with solutions that delight users. We trust these teams to pull it off and have positive impact on our central vision.
- Users lead the way. We let the people who use our product inform where we are going and try as often as we can to let our observations lead decision making. Feels good to know you are solving for real people not just the loudest voice in the room.
- Learn from others. We work really hard to make sure that everyone around the table is inspiring, smart and works well together. It makes hiring harder but everyday inspiration easier.
What we are looking for in band mates:
- Truly inspiring communication skills. Setting the frameworks and initial design concepts by doing and mentoring others to deliver work to make the strategic thinking real.
- Incredible design chops. You've shipped many consumer products over your many years in the industry and understand what it takes to create consumer oriented UIs.
- Head in the clouds feet on the ground. You are someone who get's nervous if they are not sketching concepts, tweaking flows and polishing the designs that represent the big thinking work.
- People focused design. Even though you have incredible design chops you are constantly looking to hone your design instinct through user feedback. Whether that is by actively being involved in the user research or by designing options for an A/B test you are willing to design as if you are right but listen as if you are wrong.
- Lagom. "Lagom" is a Swedish word that means "balanced". Whether it is in the methods that you use to explore and express your work or in the way you interact with others - we are looking for individuals that represent a diverse but balanced approach. This often translates to people with great creative skills and an analytic approach to discovering what works. No egos required because the work speaks for itself.
- 7+ yrs experience in design roles at a consumer focused tech or media company
- Thoughtful portfolio that showcases your design skills and illustrates your communication abilities by clearly describing your impact and what you learned for each project.
- Led the design effort across the entire product lifecycle and multiple product launches
- Mentoring and teamwork: You set the vision for the user experience and create the space for others others to collaborate.
- Ability to rapidly lead and produce multiple UX/UI concepts and prototypes; balancing pixel-perfect attention to detail against opting for low-fi design to optimize workflow and process
- Outstanding communication, presentation and organizational skills
- Mobile experience a plus
To sum it up if you are at the point of your career where you are a nice blend of thinker/doer and have earned the confidence in your skills so that collaborating with others to build something is second nature you should seriously consider joining the band.

Elizabeth Veldon
Black Circle Records
Inspiration is hard work.
It's early December and the first snow of winter is falling across the west coast of Scotland. Friends tweet their excitement, their child-like hopes for a white Christmas, posting images of blurry snow on lamp-lit streets. At her home in the north of Glasgow, Noise Artist Elizabeth Veldon stands in her garden, recording the sound of the snow falling.
Veldon is one of the most prolific and talented Noise Artists working today. Her work includes some of the most beautiful, brilliant, challenging and powerful soundscapes recorded. Her albums, such as A Blasted Victoriana, work on multiple levels offering up an intelligent critique of history, politics and sex. Others, including the beautifully mesmeric Dies Natalis Solis Invicti, a haunting celebration of the winter solstice.
When asked about her background, Veldon says there's not much to tell. She was born in Scotland, into 'a poor village with massive unemployment and a strict demarcation between Catholic and Protestant .' This she says 'probably led to my less than forgiving approach to religious belief.' Veldon moved to Cambridge to study English Literature at college. It was as a student that her interests in the themes of gender, sexuality, feminist critical theory, poetry and politics, which would influence her musical work.
Returning to Scotland, Elizabeth met her partner 8 years ago. Her partner has been 'a guiding force in my music.' Over 6 years ago, Veldon started recorded her first CD. It sold out, and was collected by the Scottish National Library. From this Veldon started recording on a weekly then a daily basis. 'I launched my bandcamp site around a year-and-a-half ago and since then have uploaded over 100 albums to it. I also formed my own label Black Circle records' around 1 year ago, as a way to publish music based upon ideas of co-operation, collaboration and community.'
Paul Gallagher: When did you become interested in music and creating noise music/soundscapes? What were the key moments/influences?
Elizabeth Veldon: 'I've always been interested in music, but I suppose this really took off when I met my present partner and two people obsessed with music got together.
'I don't know exactly when I became interested in making music but I remember why: I wanted to show that it was possible to make music without studios or finances, a kind of democratisation of the music making process. I began posting these on myspace (back in the days when everyone used myspace) and got positive feedback so I kept going. Originally I improvised tracks by playing multiple pieces by other artists over each other and recorded this to tape using a stereo with no speakers connected. This was then recorded back to my computer and then used as one of the tracks in a second layer and so on and so on until I had a completed piece.
'As I began taking this process seriously, I started to think of it in terms of John Cage's Fontana Mix, and began half-jokingly referring to it as Fontana Mix Without A Score, and John Cage has stayed my primary influence since then. I think it's his belief that music is that which is produced by an artist or composer that most captures my imagination.
'This led me to try to produce music that echoed the ideas of Pure Abstraction that is something which was not inspired by an external object or sensation. It was this that led me to experiment with feedback and wave forms.
'More often than not the germ of a work comes from something read in a book or something I hear. For instance The English And Their Dogs came about from my partner saying 'The Germans love children the way the English love their dogs'. While Satan Is A Very Poor Fellow was inspired by the cover of a book about German artists in exile during and after World War Two.
'Other influences have included geometric abstractionism (in that it gave me a way to think about producing abstract music), 90's feminist punk such as Bikini Kill, Derek Jarman (for his fearlessness) and early music.
'That sounds like the most pretentious list of influences ever.
'Lately I've found myself interested in landscape and finding inspiration from that and then, of course, there's politics which is always present in everything I do.'

Noel laments costly mistakes
MONTREAL -- They have only themselves to blame.
While Winnipeg Jets coach Claude Noel joined many of his NHL coaching brothers in scratching his head at curious penalty calls, those that occurred Tuesday night at the Bell Centre against the Montreal Canadiens were not the central issue.
Noel's team had done a very steady job of minding their sticks and reaches and moving their feet, thereby staying out of the penalty box.
And while its penalty killing was still ranked in the bottom half of the league, the Jets were at least giving themselves a fighting chance by being shorthanded just 11 times in five games, the lowest total of the 30 teams.
Tuesday, however, the Habs put on some pressure and the Jets were sent to the box five times, converting twice.
The combination of those two items had Noel in quite a snit after the game.
He lamented the mistakes, in order by Chris Thorburn, Toby Enstrom and Alex Burmistrov that paved the way to Tomas Plekanec's winning goal.
"Some of the mistakes we made on their power-play goal (in the third) ends up being a play that should have gotten out of the zone (Thorburn), that we ended up going back in the zone, that we ended up taking a penalty on (Enstrom)," Noel said. "Then we make a play on the wall that the puck gets by our forward (Burmistrov) that should never happen and it goes back to the point and eventually goes in our net.
"How's that?"
Still, the Jets had two opportunities after that and were not effective.
One of them came thanks to the histrionics of Montreal's Brandon Prust.
He's a rugged player, but went for a flop when pushed against the boards in front of his own bench. The embellishment was penalized by referees Francis Charron and Steve Kozari -- and a good call it was -- but before the penalties were handed out, the Habs rushed at Antropov in heated revenge.
"Absolutely. I would never hit a guy from behind," Antropov said afterwards "I just pushed him. I know his head (went) over the boards. I knew exactly what I was doing. I didn't see what he did afterwards but I just turned around and he was on the ice, laying down.
"I'm not sure what he did but I don't think I had a boarding penalty and the ref saw it clearly and there was no call."
When Prust flopped, Antropov knew the wave of red shirts might be coming.
"Obviously, anybody would do that," he said. "They just have to look at the play first."
It's all a tangent, though, to the Jets' non-response.
They did not score to make Prust pay any price for his acting, and that's on them.
"You're tied going into third period 3-3 and you have an opportunity to maybe get the game, you've just got to be patient," Noel said. "Then we ran into penalty issues and then when we got the power play, we never capitalized on it.
"For us it wasn't a very well-managed game from a discipline standpoint and from not taking advantage of our opportunities."
And the coach, to his credit, scoffed at taking any silver linings away from rallying from a 2-0 first period deficit, the fourth straight game in which his opponents have scored first.
"You can't play that way," he said. "You can't start off that way. You can't keep giving up goals early in the first period and expect you're going to come back. It's just not the right way to play. We talked about that today.
"I don't care if you're at home on the road. That's just a recipe for disaster."

Guest blog written by Samarth Vasisht.
Climbing is an awesome way to have fun while staying in shape. One of the best things about climbing is that anyone, no matter body type, size, or age has unique strengths and weaknesses that make almost any crag possible to scale. There are many times where I have been quickly humbled by a 6-7 year old kid on the wall and it reminds me that relative to a lot of other sports, climbing is less about strength and more about balance and technique. Although training and working on overall strength will help out a lot, that is something that can come from climbing and exercise over time. Not to mention there are a ton of unique places to hammock when you're up their chasing those views! Continue reading 5 Essentials of Climbing

Some grass ID's (a lot of pics)
I'm trying to figure out which of these wild grasses are native coastal prairie species. They were in a disturbed area near a contruction site in SE Texas and I've got a few that I'm pretty sure about but would appreciate some of your input. Thanks!
Grass #1
I think this one might be silver bluestem (Bothriochloa saccharoides)
Grass #2
Could this be a Chloris species?
Grass #3
This one made up the majority of the plants in the area. At first I thought it was just Dallis grass but it has long awns(?) on it's seeds which Dallis grass dosen't.
Grass #4
Grass #5
I'm pretty sure this one is Eastern Gamagrass (Tripsacum dactyloides)
Thanks so much!
Texasflip, none of these are grasses I am familiar with, being in northern Illinois, but I feel bad that no one else has replied! I'd say you are on the target with the ones you have tentatively identified, after going quickly through the site posted below. I love it when I find a plant I'm curious about in MissouriPlants.com, because they have wonderful close-up pictures for ID'ing. They keep adding more species--some of the info is incomplete, I think because the grasses were added recently (at least I don't remember them being there).
Here is a link that might be useful: Grasses on MissouriPlants.com

In GM's world, the Silverado, Manilow and Twinkies survive an apocalypse -- not the blue oval

For at least one automaker, the gloves will come off early during Sunday's telecast of the Super Bowl.
GM's Chevrolet division plans to get more than a little dig in at long-time rival Ford with a 60-second apocalyptic-themed Super Bowl spot scheduled to air in the first quarter.
Its the latest in a string of colorful barbs tossed between the two cross-town automakers and their executives.
The ad opens in a decimated city and pans to a newspaper headline blowing in the wind. The headline screams: 2012 Mayan Apocalypse: Will the World End Today?
An engine suddenly roars to life and a dusty Silverado pickup pokes through the rubble and starts traversing the city. Is that a decimated Chrysler building amid the scorched landscape?
The driver and his dog finally meet up with four friends and their Silverados. But the driver wonders where their friend Dave is.
Didn't make it. It turns out he drove a Ford.
The Ford F series pickup may be the top-selling vehicle in America, but in GM's version of doomsday, only Barry Manilow, Twinkies, frogs, Silverados and their drivers survive.

Will the real Weeping Alaskan Cedar please stand up!
Hi. I am looking for a cedar that looks like the one in the picture on the left and right (not middle). It is apparently called a Weeping Alaskan Cedar or Weeping Alaskan Yello Cedar and it's botanical name is Chamaecyparis Nootkatensis 'Pendula'. However, when searching online I find such cedars with the same botanical name that look like the picture on the right, left and middle, yet the one in the middle is clearly different. I find the ones on the left and right preferable as I want something very full, wide and with a cascading effect rather than the one in the middle that is more narrow, spindly and pendulous.
Can they both actually have exactly the same name? I don't want to order a small tree and then find out it grows into the one in the middle instead of the right or left one. Does anyone know how to properly refer to it or is it just a subspecies with no identifiable name and you just have to find 'the look'?
they are conifers .. there is a conifer forum .. i dont care where you post ...
they are all pendula ....
you are comparing.. first.. a 10 year old plant.. with a 40 year old plant.. one is obviously more mature than the other ...
from the middle pic.. you can tell the plant on the right is at least 20 feet too close to the house.. dont you think???
also ... and most importantly ... you are comparing a single leader plant in the center.. with plants that have multiple leaders hidden inside ...
bottom line.. if you are intrigued by these.. just buy one.. and enjoy it.. and if in 10 or 20 years.. it fails to make you happy.. get rid of it ...
how old are you ... and how long will you live in this garden.. to really care what its going to look like in 20 years????
plant something that makes your toes curl... and get rid of it.. when it makes your feet stink .. OK,.. there is a new twist on that cliche.. lol ...
its pic season at the conifer forum.. we can name about 1000 plants better than this one... especially if you are mail ordering .... dax... is that whistler guy still in biz in canada ... darren whats his name.. lol ...
good luck
Also just to confuse things more, the Alaskan cedar is now Cupressus not Chamaecyparis. Too hard for me to see from the photos (lame excuse, I'm lousy at ID anyway) but the ones on the right and the left look more like Chamaecyparis lawsoniana, say.
I can hear the OP tearing his hair out...
ken_adrian - The right and middle trees are about the same age, not 10 and 40 years old. Multiple leaders or no multiple leaders I've seen ones exactly the same height in my area and they are totally different, yet seem to have the same name. It's not the leaders that are making the tree look different. And, with respect to the one I like, no matter what age or how big I see them they always have the same look, so age is irrelevant. As for the tree being too close to the house, that wasn't my question, neither is the issue of how long I'll have the tree. And, yes I'd buy one if I knew what it was called. That was the whole reason for my post! But, since I don't know what it is called I can't (yet).
formandfoliage - Thanks and yes I am tearing my hair out as no one seems to be able to answer my question and is bringing up irrelevant issues. I think I'll post in the conifer forum, which I didn't know existed.
Your question was answered - :-)) The form of this tree is quite variable and as bboy stated, more than one clone is grown as 'Pendula' and depending on the grower, the habit and form can vary rather widely. Just do a Google image search if you doubt that. I will say that the photo on the far left looks much more like Thuja plicata than it does a nootka cypress but not close enough detail to determine for sure.
If you like the fuller look, then you need to search out and select one that displays that characteristic. That may preclude mail order unless you know that grower sells stock propagated from a very full plant or you specify that in your order.
FWIW, the vast majority of these sold are cultivars that emphasize the more narrow growth habit, like 'Jubilee', 'Green Arrow', 'Strict Weeping', 'Van den Akker'.
And I believe the official name for this tree is now Xanthocyparis nootkatensis, although it has gone through a number of semi-official name changes over the years, including Callitropsis and Cupressus.
gardengal I think (but am not positive) that so many people howled when it went to Xanthocyparis that the taxonomy gurus backed off and left it at Cupressus. But of course different people/arboreta/universities follow different conventions. But the ones that I belong to around here switched from Chamaecyparis to Cupressus and are holding firm. For now....
fandf - to me it is still Chamaecyparis nootkatensis....and likely to stay that way :-)
FWIW, I've been in the nursery business for a good many years now and have yet to see a grower label it anything other than chamaecyparis. Some things just don't change very easily.!!
And although I would be hesitant to state so on the Conifer forum, those guys get a little overly obsessive about that stuff. As long as everyone knows what plant you are referring to, all that taxonomic wrangling and argument is pretty much just for the textbooks.
Yeah, exactly! I hang out with a lot of botanical garden people who have to label their collections so it it a bit of a different perspective. Whatever they decide someone will complain! And of course the different arboreta don't always agree either. At some point I just go outside and enjoy the plants!
I would like to know about the root system of the weeping Alaskan Cedar. The landscaper planted the tree about 3 feet from the house and after 9 years, it is 15 ft. high. I am worried about the root system destroying the concrete slab of the house and the hot water tubes in the slab. I wanted to move it and the nursery said there should be no problem with the tree. I do not believe him. Anyone know about the root system??
There are several fairly large Arizona Cypress close to houses with no apparent damage on-going down here. I never actually stopped to talk to the home-owners, but assumed if it was causing problems they would have had it removed. (these trees used to be cousins, assuming similar root characteristics ran in the family)
Cupressus macrocarpa (a different animal, as it were) has the reputation of having 'lazy roots' that don't venture far from the trunk. They blow over all the time, especially when people maintain irrigation too close to the trunk. Not sure if this helps answer your question...maybe someone else with more knowledge can opine about whether C. macrocarpa and C. (or C.) nootkatensis share this characteristic.
You may already have your answer, but incase you have not, your are looking for "Glauca" (the ones on the left and right). The one in the center is "Glauca Pendulata".
The real names are Chamaecyparis Nootkatensis Glauca Pendula and Chamaecyparis Nootkatensis Glauca.
I found this info. at www.russellsnursery.com. Check it out.
Don't you just hate it when everybody has to chim in and they don't even have the answer to your question? Then bring up stuff you didn't even ask about. Why don't they just keep quiet.
I love this tree as well, and was looking for one after seeing a beautiful specimen at a new friends house - the "full" variety. The non weeping variety.
Hope you see this.
I see nothing in the three photos that I would say was 'Glauca' as usually seen. Stock under the name - which embraces any seedlings that pop up more blue than usual but are not weeping - is usually more dense and fine textured than any of the three examples asked about here.
The one in the middle is too green to be 'Glauca Pendula'.
@Boom48439 - You did not provide a link to the exact tree on that website but I went there and found no trees that look like what I want.
@mikebotann - Yes that is the tree I am looking for. Too bad I live in Toronto, Canada and nowhere close to Washington State. Did you collect that as a small tree and replant it on your property? You seem to have clipped a lot of the lower branches unfortunately.
I must say I am still confused as to where I can get this tree in Toronto and what the real name is. I am going to be visiting a bunch of nurseries with the picture soon. There aren't many around here in Toronto but here's a pic of another one I found in Etobicoke, Ontario, a suburb of Toronto.
Here is a link that might be useful:
It was a seedling growing in a logging road ditch. One of thousands.
I didn't have room to keep the lower branches unfortunately. Most trees can't be grown as arboretum specimens in the middle of a sweeping lawn in my garden because of space limitations. I also have very little lawn. I can mow it in about 5 minutes. Not bad for ten acres. (2 hectares)

This book was amazing!! It was sad and a bit heartbreaking. The main character was easy to relate to and the drawings made the story even better. Really worth the read.
This is an okay book. The illustrations were certainly well done but the language (gangsta talk), made the book hard to relate to. In the end, I believed it was satisfactory but it did not surpass that.

That is, until Wednesday night.
The Bluejays shot 58 percent from the field to earn their second MCCC Southern Division victory of the season with a 113-78 decision over a depleted Riverland team in a MCCC Southern Division men's basketball game.

Starting a backyard nursery
I wanted to start a backyard nursery maybe a year ago, then we moved, and the subject was on ice, but now I am really give it a go.
I want to grow edible plants, herbs and other useful plants from seed and cuttings, all perennials. My aim is to get a nice collection of unusual food plants, herbs and to a lesser extend other useful plants. I want to sell them at markets, local green grocers and maybe a nursery.
Our space is very limited at the moment I have a 3 tier rack approx.6.50 meters (which is full) long and my poor husband has to build another one one tier approx 10 meters. Then I would have a space for a shade house aprox. 2.5 x 3.5. That's it. For fire ant reasons I am not allowed to put pots directly on the soil.
I aim for variety and rare plants, however at the moment the plants are not rare and include: scented perlagoniums, canna edulis, Lemon grass, New Zealand Spinach, rosemary, brami, gotu kola, thyme, and some more.
I think I will maybe be able to grow a maximum of 100 plants per week, I provided that the plants have to grow 4 month approx. This would maybe make some (moderate) extra dollars.
We don't need a greenhouse, as we're subtropical, however many plants don't grow very much in winter.
In Australia we don't need a licence at least not for such a small thing.
At the moment I have a source of free pots and I ask friends for old plastic containers (however it is a nuisance poking the holes in). The labels I cut from these plastic folder dividers I got for free.
There are two kinds of plants: those in the commercial containers which I plan partly to upgrade with good plant descriptions, plant stickers etc. that they are suitable for a present and others grown in the milk containers which are for the gardeners.
I have heaps to learn and at the moment the biggest problem is the seed raising + potting mix. I bought some ready made potting mix at a commercial landscape supplier which is the baddest I've ever seen and bakes like concrete. Other cheap mixes aren't much better. Our own compost we need to grow our vegetables. At the moment I tried the following recipe for cuttings: one cheap packet of potting mix ($2.5) one bucket full of sand (free) and one bucket full of coir ($2per brick). And for the seed raising mix pre fertilized coir ($4 which makes one bucket). I bought this stuff at the usual hardware shop, which might be the most expensive source.
Does anyone of you run such a small scaled business?
How do you source your potting mix, do you mix yourself, and do you adjust for the different plants?
Which steps do you include to obtain the best quality and strong and healthy plants?
I still have not a good idea how to produce plant stickers (not those with the names on something decorative like a sun , crafted stuff I mean) or if I aim for it at all.
In October we will have our first stall, which I share with a lady who makes smaller sized pictures of flowers and plants.
I run a slightly bigger then the one you are talking about.
But your question of soil use is one I can help with
I live in the high desert and it gets cooollld here. So I order my dirt in bags by the pallet. You can order by the bulk too but I keep my dirt in the greenhouse as when I start transplanting it is cold and I hate working with frozen soil.
Propagating is something that is more profitable and I also use this source for my business. I mostly grow from seed and make a decent living......just decent:)
