Over-the-Air Digital TV with Linux
The Hauppauge WinTV-HVR-1800 is a PCI Express x1 tuner that also supports digital (ATSC), analog (NTSC) and unencrypted cable TV signals. This card has coaxial inputs for analog cable TV, digital ATSC/QAM TV and FM radio. It also has inputs for S-Video/composite and L/R stereo audio. An integrated hardware MPEG-2 encoder offloads the system processor when recording analog TV or cable channels. Accessories include a remote control, USB IR receiver and IR transmitter cable (to control a set-top unit).
Out of the box, this tuner is not supported by Linux. However, you can get the digital (ATSC) tuner to work reliably with Ubuntu 7.10 after you build its driver (see the Building a Device Driver for Hauppauge WinTV-HVR-1800 on Ubuntu 7.10 sidebar). The analog TV features for this tuner could not be evaluated under Linux, because the driver does not yet support the analog circuitry.
Building a Device Driver for Hauppauge WinTV-HVR-1800 on Ubuntu 7.10
First, enable universe and multiverse package repositories, by selecting System→Administration→Software Sources from the GNOME desktop menu. Click the tab labeled Ubuntu Software, and make sure the boxes are checked for Community-maintained Open Source software (universe) and Software restricted by copyright or legal issues (multiverse). Click Close.
Next, apply all latest updates from Ubuntu by selecting System→Administration→Update Manager from the GNOME desktop menu, and apply all system updates. Then, reboot the system.
Next, launch a terminal and do sudo su (to become the root user). Install the necessary packages to build the latest v4l-dvb drivers:
aptitude install mercurial build-essential linux-source
Grab the latest copy of V4L DVB source code from linuxtv.org:
cd /usr/local/src hg clone http://linuxtv.org/hg/v4l-dvb
Compile the V4L DVB drivers:
cd /usr/local/src/v4l-dvb make make install
And, reboot the system.
After setting up the tuner in MythTV, I was able to view both HD and SD programs. There was no noticeable difference in picture quality compared to the USB tuners. The remote control worked well and is fully supported by LIRC (Linux Infra-Red Control) using the Windows Media Centre Remotes (new version Philips, et al.) configuration settings in LIRC. If you're a couch potato, a working remote control in MythTV is absolutely essential.
You can experience a great HDTV show on your desktop with the right equipment and some tweaking. If you're looking to build a full-fledged media center based on Linux, MythTV does it all—from program listings, Picture-in-Picture, remote control support, Web administration with MythWeb, programmable recording, to watching your favorite shows. If you're a minimalist and don't want to dedicate an entire system, Me-TV looks promising.
It goes without saying that you should do your homework before buying components for your DTV Linux system. Visit popular on-line forums, such as the MythTV Wiki, LinuxTV Wiki, Ubuntu Forums and Ubuntu Wiki to tap into the wisdom of the crowd.
In summary, my recommendations for a great DTV experience include outdoor antenna, fast multicore processor, medium to high-end video card with at least 256MB video memory and a fast high-capacity hard drive. For your desktop, the pcHDTV HD-5500 works right out of the box. The Hauppauge WinTV-HVR-1800 is a close second. For your laptop, the Pinnacle PCTV HD Pro Stick and the Hauppauge WinTV-HVR-950 USB tuners work well.

As Linux continues to play an ever increasing role in corporate data centers and institutions, ensuring the integrity and protection of these systems must be a priority. With 60% of the world's websites and an increasing share of organization's mission-critical workloads running on Linux, failing to stop malware and other advanced threats on Linux can increasingly impact an organization's reputation and bottom line.

Most companies incorporate backup procedures for critical data, which can be restored quickly if a loss occurs. However, fewer companies are prepared for catastrophic system failures, in which they lose all data, the entire operating system, applications, settings, patches and more, reducing their system(s) to "bare metal." After all, before data can be restored to a system, there must be a system to restore it to.
In this one hour webinar, learn how to enhance your existing backup strategies for better disaster recovery preparedness using Storix System Backup Administrator (SBAdmin), a highly flexible bare-metal recovery solution for UNIX and Linux systems.

Important Notice : Avoiding Fraud
It's rare, but some helpful hints to watch out for with regards to fraud:
- It is important to NEVER wire funds or use/employ other fund transfer mechanisms such as western union: Always use a credit card to protect yourself against fraud. If owners pressure you into providing a deposit or refuse to accept credit cards, there is a high probability that this is a scam.
- If at all suspicious of fraud, ask to see their website, or any other literature they can provide or send to you. Ask them for contact details for guests who have previously stayed on their property insisting on telephone numbers. Be suspicious of emails that originate from free email services (yahoo, hotmail, gmail, etc)
- Research the property thoroughly on the internet to see if there is any history or mention of scams associated with the property.

Electronics Report
Self-Organizing Embedded Network Chip
Echelon, a technology supplier for the Lonwork® control networking standard, launched the Pyxos FT chip, the first implementation of its new Pyxos embedded control networking platform.
Lonworks®control networking standard supplier Echelon Corporation (San Jose, California, U.S.) launched the Pyxos® chip, the first of its new Pyxos embedded control networking platform chips. The chip can be designed into sensors and actuators embedded inside a device, to extract information from the device and relay control commands between devices, making the device, to control network status available to remote service centers and applications.
Designed to be built into the sensors and actuators embedded inside a machine, the chips extract information from the devices, relay control commands between devices and make the machine control network status available to remote service centers and applications. The features, combined with the unique self-organizing capabilities of the Pyxos platform, are designed to reduce the cost of manufacturing, installing and maintaining a machine, and provide insights into machine efficiency, productivity and reliability.
"Prospective customers have been looking for a solution that extends the features of a control network inside of their machines, and at the same time links those machines with their enterprise operations centers and software applications," said Michael R. Tennefoss, vice president of marketing for Echelon Corporation (San Jose, California, U.S.).
The chips use twisted pair wiring to send both high-speed network data and power to sensors, actuators, devices, and even building materials into which they are embedded. Sending both power and data on only two wires is said to reduce installation complexity and lower the cost of both the end product and the installation.
Leveraging the company's communication technologies, the network consists of up to 32 Pyxos Points embedded inside sensors and actuators, and a Pyxos Pilot that interfaces with the outside world. The network operates at more than 250 KB per second using a deterministic signaling method by which all Pyxos Points are scanned every 25 milliseconds. This high speed is said to allow the networks to be used for closed-loop controls in process and industrial applications, as well as sensing and control applications that require fast response time such as fault monitors, security and fire/life safety devices, burner and boiler controls, lighting systems, HVAC systems, and office automation equipment.
"Unlike mesh network radios, which don't work inside machines or in close proximity to metal, the Pyxos FT chip provides the exceptional reliability of twisted pair communications at a price that is unmatched by any other media," said Tennefoss. "The ultra-miniature, low-cost integrated circuit is only 5 mm by 5 small enough to fit into almost anything with which you might wish to communicate."
According to Tennefoss, the chip makes it possible for the first time to economically and reliably build two-wire control networks inside of devices such as copy machines, packaged air-conditioners, vending machines, and other devices.
The chips can directly supervise digital sensors and actuators, or, through their serial peripheral interface port, are said to be able to integrate with virtually any host processor for use with analog devices. When the embedded control networks need to be incorporated into larger control networks, such as one might find in smart buildings, the platform can interface with programmable logic controllers, data gathering panels, Lonworks networks, and the Internet. This flexibility is designed to allow the network to grow in size and complexity over time without replacing devices. The networks interconnect the constituent elements of a device, while Lonworks control networks interconnect machines to one another, which is said to provide a powerful and unique ecosystem for control-related applications.
The networks incorporate a "self-organizing" feature whereby devices can dynamically and autonomously assemble themselves into fully functioning networks without human intervention. This feature makes it feasible to mix and match different assemblies or components without changing wiring harnesses or using special configuration tools or software. This is said to be an ideal system concept for manufacturers that build many variations of a common product, such as a copy machine or air handler, and want the products to configure themselves without the help of skilled labor. The supplier says that when the efficiency gains of self-organizing machines are coupled with the savings enabled by identifying which specific sensor or actuator is in need of service or has been running too long, the life-cycle cost savings are potentially substantial.

First and foremost, huge props once again to TheFugitive aka 'Fugi' for selecting me to run this great stack.
Let's get down to bizness!
How 'bout some Gamma eye candy before we get into the supps?
Brittney Palmer of Gamma Labs
Here's the stack:
Gamma-O has been scientifically as well as clinically proven to naturally increase testosterone levels by up to 800% and release more endorphins that lower stress and cortisol levels. The increase in testosterone and endorphins aids in the growth of lean muscle tissue while burning off unwanted fat without the harmful side effects of steroids, pro-hormone or andro products. Has a variety of uses specifically designed to work in conjunction with bodybuilders and athletes. Gamma-O is the most powerful form of Gamma Oryzanol that can be absorbed by the human body.
Directions: Take 2 liquid caps twice daily with food.*
-Increased Strength
-Reduced Body Fat
-Enhanced Energy
-Increased Muscle Girth Gains
-Reduced Post-Workout
Our scientifically-advanced blend of L-Arginine and L-Citrulline combined with our superior proprietary mix of 3 of the most potent and absorbable creatines on the market, produces an unmatched stimulus of Nitric Oxide so you can train harder and longer. No matter what your fitness level, our highly bio-available formula contains powerful antioxidants to help lower muscle breakdown and speed recovery times for a supercharged workout. As the cells in your muscles age, they begin to oxidize. Your body uses the NO produced by your iNOS to combat the oxidation of cells.
Our scientifically engineered blend of L-Arginine and L-Citrulline combined with powerful antioxidants slows down the oxidation process, thus allowing the NO converted from your iNOS to stimulate muscle growth. Your body needs the NO produced from eNOS to regulate vascular function and blood flow. Your cells are limited in the production of NO based on the availability of L-Arginine.
PTF Uses iNOS & eNOS to Effectively Maximize Nitric Oxide (NO) ProductionOur highly bio-available formula encourages the NO produced by eNOS to increase blood flow, heighten protein synthesis and produce smooth muscle tone.
Directions: Use 1-2 scoops with 6oz-9oz cold water.

(Mandatory Video Accompaniment To This Post)
Ann Althouse attempts to be gracious, and the Tinker Toy Roy Cohns in her commentariat are having none of it. So it goes.
I have no intention of marking Pete Seeger's passing by relitigating the Cold War. A lot of very good people paid an ghastly and inordinate price for having spent the 1930s and 1940s looking for a solution to an economic catastrophe outside a political spectrum that ran from Herbert Hoover to Huey Long. Seeger spent his life in the most honorable way possible -- he tried to teach America about itself. First, he helped teach it about itself through all the music it had forgotten, a darker and infinitely more fascinating place than the America that was selling itself Brylcreem on the TV, an America of murder ballads, and of the pain wrought in music of all its lost promises, and of the hope that the music itself could redeem those llost promises. There was a through line in the music from "Oh, I Had A Golden Thread" to "Ballad of a Thin Man," even though the story about Seeger's going after the cables with an ax when Dylan plugged in at Newport is arguably apocryphal, just as there was a through line in history line from the Dust Bowl to "We Shall Overcome," and it wound through some very interesting -- and some very scary -- places. Music is the way America always has talked to itself, even on those occasions on which it was whispering because what it was saying was dangerous to say out loud. Music is the way to say things in this country you might otherwise wish not to be overheard. That was the language Pete Seeger spoke, year after year, demonstration after demonstration, cause after cause, war after war, for most of his 94 years, and that was the language he spoke in 2008, when he shared a stage with Bruce Springsteen and insisted -- with Springsteen's full and enthusiastic approval -- that every verse of "This Land Is Your Land" be sung, including these:
As I went walking I saw a sign there
And on the sign it said "No Trespassing."
But on the other side it didn't say nothing,
That side was made for you and me.
In the shadow of the steeple I saw my people,
By the relief office I seen my people;
As they stood there hungry, I stood there asking
Is this land made for you and me?
Then he tried to teach it by his example, by being a gentle presence in the issues of the day, from Civil Rights to Vietnam to nuclear power to environmentalism, to adventurism in Central America, to the Occupy movement, which, as he saw clearly, was an attempt to sing those forgotten verses to a new melody. And he did it with a smile. He loved the wide sky and the blue of the Hudson River. He loved the land and the water and the air. How could anything be more American than that? He loved the country and its people and the idea of it that outlasted so many attempts to hijack it for other purposes. Pete Seeger was a great American because he dared to be thought otherwise. That is the only real qualification. It gets more dear as the years go by.

Book Review: Books Do Furnish a Room
By Sandy Amazeen Apr 14, 2010, 5:01 GMT
Whether heaped in untidy piles, artfully stacked along a wall or tastefully arranged on custom-built shelves, books can define and warm a room while saying a great deal about the occupants. Geddes-Browns newest work is a lavishly illustrated celebration of books and how to use them to their best advantage as elements of interior design. The first two chapters explore how to utilize books in living spaces and work environments, the last two cover designing for books and making the most of books in places without adequate shelving.
This showcases institutions like the stately formal library at Eastnor Castle in Herefordshire, England with its well ordered rows of similarly colored bindings serving as a backdrop for the elegant furnishings and dramatic ceiling as well as small private settings such as Richard Howards New York apartment, filled floor to ceiling with books, everything else taking a secondary role. Chock a block full of inspiration and ideas like wrapping the bindings in colored paper and creating stylish stacks, readers will find plenty of ways to fit books into their decorating scheme. A feast for bibliophiles and interior decorators alike and proof that with all your stacks of books around the house, youre not disorganized, youre trendy!

Lady Antebellum Hit The Mark!
April 7, 2011 2:10 PM
Lady Antebellum's song, "Need You Now" has been declared the most downloaded country song ever!
The group's song took the crown from Taylor Swift's "Love Story". Charles Kelley says the song was so successful because listeners can relate to the song because everyone's been there at some point in their life.

Oregon to Streamline Provider Credentialing
A new law requires the Oregon Health Authority to establish an electronic database for credentialing organizations, including hospitals, insurance companies, and other facilities.
Provider credentialing in Oregon is on its way to becoming more streamlined under a bill that mandates healthcare providers use a single credentialing system by 2016.
The initiative, known as SB 604, requires the Oregon Health Authority to establish an electronic database for credentialing organizations, including hospitals, insurance companies, and other facilities. It's the first state to mandate the use of a single credentialing system; the bill was overwhelmingly supported in the state legislature.
The bill was signed by Oregon governor John Kitzhaber (D) on July 1 and goes into effect Jan. 1 2014.
Jean Steinberg, CPCS, CPMSM, director of medical staff services for Bend, OR -based St. Charles Health System, says the idea to have a statewide database for credentialing and recredentialing providers has been in the works "for years."
"Oregon already has a mandated credentialing application, so this is the next logical step," says Steinberg. "We, in this day and age, should be way down the road with credentialing."

Arkansas has had a mandate to for all hospitals, insurance companies, and other facilities to use CCVS(Centralized Credentialing Verification Service)since January 1,2002. I'm glad to hear other states are doing the same.
Elizabeth (8/28/2013 at 5:19 PM)
bettynoyes: Credentialing isn't something that is subject to commentary or opinions. The credentialing process has to do with validating a professionals, credentials. Whether or not their license is valid does not require commentary. There are other parts to the process of, say, hospital medical staff appointment and privileging which DO take into account peer references, clinical peer review data, practitioner's health and ability to play nice with others, etc. Those somewhat more ephemeral qualities would probably not be part of a credentialing database. Then there are other aspects that are investigative and somewhat subjective. Criminal background check, NPDB check, Google check and on and on. Maggie: I'm with you, I'm very curious about the particulars of this database. I live and do credentialing in TX so only a matter of interest to me. Oregon may start a trend.
Maggie (8/27/2013 at 2:39 PM)
I'm happy to see the legislature involved those who acutally perform the work...the Medical Services Profession (CPCS/CPMSM). I'm wondering if this similar to the CAHQ application ~ a central repository for data ONLY and the credentialing (PSV) would still be performed by each organization. Or will it be data AND PSV documents? Who validates the data or updates it? What about the organizations that spent tens of thousands of dollars on their own software? Will the data interface and what is the cost? I guess I have a lot of questions don't I? (even that was a question =) I'll go read the bill.

Currently in Political Science
Dr. Johnson wins William L. Stamey Award for Excellence in Undergraduate Advising - April 15, 2014
MANHATTAN -- Dr. Laurie Johnson has won the College of Arts and Sciences most prestigious award for undergraduate advising, the William L. Stamey Advising Award. Dr. Johnson received the honor in recognition of the outstanding job she has done mentoring and advising not only political science students, but also students from all majors participating in KSU's Primary Text Program. Dr Johnson helped to create the Primary Text Program at KSU nearly a decade and half ago, and she has served as the Director of the program ever since. She is known for giving focused attention to political science and primary text students, and for being an outstanding and accessible advisor. Dr. Johnson becomes the 16th faculty member to receive this award since it was established in 1999.
Model UN team meets with success at regional competition – K-State Media, February 26, 2014
MANHATTAN -- Kansas State University's Model United Nations team has successfully returned to competition.
The team won three awards at the 54th Midwest Model U.N. Conference in St. Louis, Feb. 19-22. It was the first Kansas State University team to compete at a regional Model U.N. event in more than 30 years.
The team was relaunched by John Fliter Jr., associate professor of political science, as part of the activities associated with his term as the university's 2013-2014 Coffman Chair for Distinguished Teaching Scholars. Carla Martinez Machain, assistant professor of political science, is the team's co-adviser. Read more >>
Notable Alumni Visit KSU Political Science Classes
Two notable KSU alumni recently returned to Manhattan and spoke to KSU Political Science classes.
John Hofmeister, BA (1971) and MA (1973) in Political Science, former President of Shell Oil (2005-2008) and founder of Citizens for Affordable Energy, spoke to students in POLSC 611 Legislative Processes on February 11. Just two weeks before the class, John had been featured in a segment on CNN's Anderson Cooper news program on the influence that money has on Congressional politics. Students watched the CNN clip before John's talk and then asked a range of questions. Talk about learning from a respected and knowledgeable source! John was also gracious enough to speak at a number of other venues on campus, including giving the Lou Douglas Lecture that evening.
On February 7, General Richard Myers (ret.), BS Mechanical Engineering (1965), spoke to students in POLSC 549 International Defense Strategies. General Myers served as 15th Chairman of the US Joint Chiefs of Staff, the highest military position in the United States, from 2001 to 2005. Given his lengthy military career and his participation in a host of important foreign policy decisions, his insights were greatly appreciated by students. Again, an alumnus helped to give back one of the most valuable things former K-Staters have to offer our current generation of students – their insight and their knowledge.
Needless to say, both alumni visits were extremely successful and provided invaluable information and understanding for our students.

I enjoy going out at night with the camera because the night seems to hold more contrast and depth when taking photographs. Besides it is a much broader challenge to get the light correct for a really interesting photo when you do it in the evening.

Kiwi Rider Makes Podium at World Cable Champs
December 18, 2012
International Podium Finish for New Zealand Cable Wakeboarder
Dave Kay takes 3rd at the WWA Wake Park World Championships in Abu Dhabi.
ABU DHABI, UAE, December 12, 2012 — Dave Kay (DK) is "stoked" with his 3rd place position and being one of only two New Zealand representatives at the 2012 WWA Wake Park World Championships held in the United Arab Emirates over the past weekend. His journey to this event has been over two and a half years in the making, starting with the idea of building a Cable Park of his own in Ruakaka.
The Abu Dhabi based event is the final stop of the five stop Wake Park World Championship Series (WPWS) run by the World Wakeboard Association (WWA). The competition hosted by Al Forsan International Sports Resort boasted a record number of 25 countries being represented. The New Zealand representatives did their country proud with professional wakeboarder Brad Smeele showing his talents not only on the water, but also in the commentary box. Brad kept the crowds of spectators informed on the technical details of the runs performed by the professional and amateur athletes alike. His knowledge ability on the tricks helped the spectators follow what the judges' decisions showed in the end.
The competition is divided into professionals and amateurs. The amateur divisions included boys and girls as young as 7 years of age in the 9years and under category and men in their 50's in the 40years and over category.
Well known New Zealand kiteboarder and former owner of Decay Kiteboards, Ruakaka Kite Sports and Lakeside Cable, DK had never before competed in an international Cable Park event. Dave found himself in one of the stiff competition categories – the Amateurs Masters Division (30 to 40y/o). During his semi-finals run Dave performed many air tricks, including switch krypt, blind judge, roll to blind and a back mobe attempt, which impressed all of the competitors on site. The overall scoring system however favours tricks performed on the obstacles higher than those performed off the flat water. DK's impressive run therefore was only enough to get him through to the finals, but he knew he had to step it up to finish on the podium.
DK was the second competitor off the dock in the final and showed a flowing run with hits on the obstacles mixed with his technical flat water riding. "I am disappointed not to have been able to include my tantrum to blind and back mobe, but am happy with the flow of my run" DK said while waiting for the last of the competitors to finish and the awards ceremony.
After being called up for his 3rd place DK was elated and commented: "I have to be happy with that considering the 1st place competitor (Andreas Voss) distributes boards in a country (Germany) with the highest density of Cable Parks in the world and the second place position went to a professional Cable Park operator from the Philippines (Boboy Borras)". Asked if he would head back to Abu Dhabi to ride Cable DK responded "this place is sick and I love the clockwise cable."
DK's dream to ride a Cable System only became a reality when he built his own on Lakeside in Ruakaka, with the assistance of many local businesses and residents. His goal was to provide a recreational facility to compliment his board building and kite sports business based on Kepa Rd. Eighteen Months ago however DK was offered a position with one of the largest kiteboarding brands in the world, Cabrinha Kites, based out of Hong Kong. This opportunity for DK was one not to be missed, but therefore also meant that an opportunity was open for someone else to take up on the dream path started by DK.
Matthew Spragg took up this opportunity swapping his fast paced lifestyle in Hong Kong for the kiteboarding dream in Ruakaka. In January 2012 Matthew set up his operation Sprockett Boards and Ruakaka Kite Sports on Kepa Rd, which followed on from the one Dave Kay left behind. If you are interested in more information on Kiteboarding and Cable Wakeboarding in Northland please contact Matthew at Ruakaka Kite Sports.

Resurrected process converts sugar directly into diesel
Researchers at the Energy Biosciences Institute (EBI) are generating bio fuels from renewable sources, such as sugar and starch, using a process that could be commercialized in as little as five to ten years. Although the fuels are currently more expensive to produce than those made from petroleum, they contain more energy per gallon than ethanol and the researchers say that, if adopted, could help to cut greenhouse gas emissions from transportation.

New yeasts could mean better-tasting light beers
Light beers are often promoted as being "light-tasting," but light-tasting beer certainly isn't to everyone's liking. Many people go for light beers only because they're watching their weight, but would still prefer a beverage that was dark and full of flavor. Those people will doubtless be glad to hear that the European Union is investing 3.4 million Euros (about US$4,183,835) in a yeast research program, aimed at producing new products for the food industry. One of the possible outcomes of the research - tastier light beers. Hurray for science! Read More

— about every example on this page
"Scream later! Escape now!"When a truly terrifying danger rears its ugly head, maybe a monster appears or a large object is about to fall on them, one of the female characters stands there and screams helplessly, necessitating that one of the heroes pull her out of harm's way. Is guaranteed to become even more annoying when said female character sees something dangerous, and stands and screams for the hero to help, when they would have had plenty of time to get out of the way themselves. Not necessarily limited to the Damsel in Distress or The Chick, but can be infuriating if the character is supposed to be a hardened Action Girl. Contrast with Screaming Warrior (a badass fighter screams to psych himself up and/or cause fear in his enemies) and Screams Like a Little Girl (a man who issues a comically high-pitched scream when danger rears its ugly head). Also see Make Me Wanna Shout, when the scream is superpowered and weaponized. A woman's scream is a powerful auditory bomb: nothing conveys terror quite like it. However, it can easily become Narmful when overused, especially if Stock Screams are used. See Eek, a Mouse!! for one example of something that can trigger this phenomenon. Actresses frequently cast in the role of the Screaming Woman are often called "Scream Queens."

|For daffs, my very favorites are Ehrlicheer - small, very fragrant double creamy blooms. I've also had good luck with Avalanche (Seventeen Sisters) and Grand Primo.
I've also had good luck planting my paperwhites outside after forcing them (which I do with Ehrlicheer as well.
Good luck!
|I have planted 'Tete a Tete' daffs around my daylilies for many years. I like the short, miniature varieties because by the time my daylilies and other plants come up, the dying daff leaves are hidden. In our area I start seeing them bloom around the end of Feb. I have a full sun garden and quite a few daffs naturalize and return each year.
My friend has a large area under pecan tress where she puts masses of Home Depot mixed daffs and it looks great. In my garden I prefer not to use that much real estate for bulbs so I have little clumps here and there. You might look for ranunculus and anemome bulbs, if you have room. I get a very nice showing by April of those, too once the daffs are done.
Good luck!

|LOTS of them grow and lots return.
I love the tiny ones too. Just planted a bunch I got from Sam's on sale yesterday.
If you want a rule of thumb, go with daffs that have a small or short trumpet.
If you are a Sam's member. My store still had boxes with Barret Browning, Ice follies, and Tahiti and more. I've had great luck with these returning. I have not had luck with King Alfred returning, but others have.

| During the 7 + years that I lived in Dallas, I tried many types of daffodils. Most of them returned reliably every year, but I don't remember all of the names. The one that does stand out as the best was a jonquilla type called 'Quail' - I seem to remember that it produced more flowers and that the flowers lasted longer than my other types.
I also grew tulipa clusiana var. chrysantha (both the regular ones and varieties 'Cynthia' and 'Tubergens Gem'). They all look very similar to each other, and I planted them next to each other, so they were mixed together. After several years in the ground, the clumps became quite large and seemed to flower longer. Even though the flowers are small, they are still showy and bright. I really liked them a lot.
I used Scott Ogden's book "Garden Bulbs for the South" as a guide for my bulb selection. He recommends daffodils in the jonquilla division for doing the best on clay soils. He has now put out an expanded version of this book with nearly 150 more pages. The public library probably has a copy or you can buy used copies online at Amazon, Alibris and others.
You can probably find a lot of good choices locally, but if not there is always mail order.

|Quail is one of my FAVORITES! A really intense deep yellow, nice upright stalk and foliage that is so fine that it seems to disappear soon after the long-lived flower does! I agree with clusianas too. Just hard to find them except online. B&B's bulbs are great quality.
- Posted by barkingdogwoods 8a DFW (My Page) on Wed, Dec 1, 10 at 23:36
|And right now bulbs are 50% off at Brent and Becky's, so time to try some. This is one of the few sites with Ehrlicheer, and it looks like they're available.
|The Ice Follies that I've planted have returned without problem. I'll let you know this summer if the ones I planted last year come back...but I'd be surprised if they don't. I leave them in the ground and don't do anything with them after I plant them.
- Posted by tommyjmcintosh 7a Tx (My Page) on Sat, Dec 4, 10 at 7:21
|I grow Quail too, I'm in Ellis County and they do very well.
|I have been planting in Texas for 26 years (man I feel old saying that), and I have tried alot of daffodils, since I'm basically lazy and cheap, and want them to keep coming back every year without me having to replant them. That way I can plant other stuff instead. Like another rose bush.
Here is my list, which has many of the previously listed above varieties:
Ice Follies- early white with yellow fading to white cup 18" high (my no fail daffodil)
The * star means they can have multiple flowers per bulb.
I always buy a value bag or 3 of mixed daffodils to plant in my rose bed, and usually half or more come back every year, but they aren't labeled. If you buy them the weekend of Labor Day, most online nurseries have a great sale (like $10 for 50 mixed daffodils).
I plant sometime after Thanksgiving through December, whenever the weather is nice for a day.
I have just bought some from Wye Mountain church in Wye, Arkansas, when we went on vacation last week. I don't know if they will repeat here, but the Empress and black daffodils I bought from them have been growing in their seven acre field for the last 70 years. They smell heavenly, and it is a sight to behold to see daffodils blooming as far as the horizon in front of you. Just fabulous. Wye is maybe 50-100 miles directly north of DFW, but further east. Near Hot Springs.
Good luck!
|I planted Winston Churchill and Ice Follies (I think) years ago.
The Winston Churchill comes back but the other one doesn't.
I think it was the location I planted it got too much foot traffic.
|The Ice Follies I planted both last year and years ago came back with no problems. I'll have to look into the others this fall and see about adding more.

|You should check out Southern Bulbs, they specialise in bulbs dug up from old homesteads here in Texas. I'm about 100 miles outside Dallas and everything they sent me has bloomed, bar for two tulips they no longer stock (and I really, really wanted to be a success). I have old-fashioned doubles, Bread-and-Butter, in my yard and love them.

|I live in Bosque County and put in a new flowerbed last summer. In the fall I bought bags of bulbs from Sam's plus ordered the specials from Breck's for all the pink, double, white and other varieties of daffodils. They are gorgeous.
My old King Alfreds bloomed starting Feb. 12 and usually last about two weeks. All the Breck's bulbs bloomed over a very extended period of time and they are still blooming into April. Gorgeous. Beautiful ruffles and pleats and colors.
I highly recommend that you go to their website right now and order them for delivery this fall.

|I remember years ago an older lady who ran a "mom and pop" nursery told me that Dutch Master was her best to return. I havent tried it, but always remembered what she said - she really had a green thumb and knew her stuff.

Getting more bang for your buck
Good news:
If you don't use your coupons before they expire, they're still worth the money you paid for them for an extra three months.
GrabOne FaceValue gives you another three months after your coupons expire, making it even easier to enjoy businesses all over New Zealand.
How does it work?
- A coupon is valid up until and including the expiry date printed on the coupon.
- If you don't use it before the expiry date for whatever reason, the coupon retains the value you paid for it for an additional three months.
- This means you can turn up to the business up to three months after the coupon has expired and put the money you spent to buy that coupon towards the service or experience printed on your coupon.
For example, if you spend $50 on a $100 dining voucher but don't use it before the expiry date, you will still be entitled to $50 worth of food and beverage services at that business for an additional three months.
The same goes for coupons without monetary values assigned to them. For example, if you buy a bungy jump deal but don't use it before the expiry date, you can still put the money you spent on the coupon towards a bungy jump, for another three months. Remember, the FaceValue of your coupon can only be put toward the service or experience printed on your coupon.
A few things to note:
- FaceValue applies to all deals that display the FaceValue icon. If the icon is not on a deal, FaceValue does not apply.
- It's always best to use your coupon before the expiry date, so you get the most value for your money. And if you're a bit forgetful, we now automatically remind you if your coupons are about to expire.
- During the FaceValue period, your coupon can only be put towards the service stated on the coupon.
- If the offer is seasonal, like a seasonal menu or chimney sweep service, the FaceValue of your coupon can be put towards a similar offer at the merchant's discretion.
- FaceValue does not apply to product deals, travel and accommodation-related deals, or time-dependent event deals.
- The conditions on your coupon still apply during the FaceValue grace period.

ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: How do you feel about Whoopi Goldberg joining The View?
STAR JONES: I'm excited for her. I spoke to her the day before they announced it and we talked for a long time. I consider her one of my dear friends. I think she brings intelligent diversity because she will put things in perspective as it relates to a community other than the majority community, and by that I mean not just race, but religion and wealth. And that's a big deal.
Have you talked to Barbara Walters since you left the show?
No, I have not spoken to Barbara, but I got a congratulatory note from her after [Court TV] announced my show. I wouldn't expect anything less. I've spoken to Elisabeth [Hasselbeck] and we e-mail back and forth. But I have not spoken to anybody else.
Did you watch The View during the Rosie O'Donnell era?
I haven't watched the show since the day I left. I kept up with it because you can't turn on the Internet and not keep up with it. I wish them the best with the direction that they wanted to go in and I hope they got what they wanted.
How do you feel about the way Rosie's reign ended?
From what I understand, Rosie used to go after Elisabeth all the time. I disagree with almost everything Elisabeth says, but I'd die for her right to say it. She has every right to believe what she believes. And you should be able to do television and disagree and walk away as colleagues.
What's your take on the difference between your departure from The View
and Rosie's?
I made good choices is the best way to put it. I made very good choices. But I made good choices for the long run.
