Our special coverage of the closest race for years
Explore the personal stories of Syrian refugees in Lebanon
08 Sep 2012 09:01 GMT | Politics, US & Canada, Russia, United States
The US unemployment rate registered a drop on Friday, but mainly because so many have simply given up looking for work.
"As a progressive inside this party working to make this president a better president, that's the frustration we've had in the course of the last 3.5 years. We saw it again [on Thursday], great rhetoric, great challenges but…that's been the schizophrenic approach all along."
- Tim Carpenter, the national director of Progressive Democrats of America
Barack Obama was aware of the new figures as he took to the stage at the Democratic National Convention in Charlotte, North Carolina, on Thursday night to promise that he could still fulfill his pledge of hope he made in 2008.
The US president spared no insult against his Republican opponents, taking on their plans to improve the economy and criticising their foreign policy credentials."You don't call Russia our No 1 enemy – not al-Qaeda, Russia – unless you're still stuck in a Cold War mind warp. You might not be ready for diplomacy with Beijing if you can't visit the Olympics without insulting your closest ally," Obama said.When he ran for president four years ago Obama presented himself as a symbol of change.On Thursday night however he pledged to be a pragmatic leader who was willing to compromise even with his fiercest critics on the right.
"[Obama] didn't make big promises [on Thursday], he basically laid out the case 'look you can either have bad or very bad'. He didn't come in and say 'the next four years I'm going to do this big programme or that big programme…"
- Ryan Grim, the Washington bureau chief, Huffington Post
"And the truth is, it will take more than a few years for us to solve challenges that have built up over decades. It'll require common effort, shared responsibility, and the kind of bold, persistent experimentation that Franklin Roosevelt pursued during the only crisis worse than this one… And by the way, those of us who carry on his party's legacy should remember that not every problem can be remedied with another government programme or dictate from Washington.
He went on to say: "We know that churches and charities can often make more of a difference than a poverty programme alone. We don't want handouts for people who refuse to help themselves, and we certainly don't want bailouts for banks that break the rules."Inside Story: US 2012 asks: Did Obama make a convincing case for voters to stick with him?Joining presenter Shihab Rattansi for the discussion are guests: Tim Carpenter, the national director of Progressive Democrats of America; Ryan Grim, the Washington bureau chief for The Huffington Post; and Ian Millhiser, the editor of a political blog ThinkProgress Justice.
"President Obama has been jaded by his experience of dealing with the very difficult American system, even when he had a super-majority there are so many ways that the minority can veto an agenda in Congress…[but] I don't think that Obama has a plan for if he wins big."
Ian Millhiser, the editor of a political blog ThinkProgress Justice

Halting large patch disease in zoysia
Good morning. I have a zoysia backyard which has suffered from large patch for at least the last three years. The largest spot was about four feet across when we moved in, and has grown to be probably about twelve feet across this summer. Before now, I was a new homeowner (and new father) and had not spent much time on lawn maintenance besides mowing and watering. This year I would like to bring my cultural practices up to par and halt the spread of the disease, so that next year the lawn can begin to repair.
The lawn: Central North Carolina, zone 7b. ~50% shady, more towards the fence. Direct sun is received in late morning to early afternoon. The soil turns to red clay an inch or two deep. My spring soil report from the state ag office says the pH is 5.0, the potassium index is 46 (just under what they suggest as optimum), and the phosphorus index is 92 (substantially above optimum).
Where the grass is not diseased it is quite healthy and beautiful. I will try to work with zoysia at least for the next year because it withstands our foot traffic well, can be mowed and watered pretty infrequently and remains extremely weed free.
This spring (June) I took the following maintenance actions:
- Dethatch the lawn with a metal rake (the raked up thatch pile was unbelievable large, it was like we were making hay!)
- Lime (~50 lbs per 1000 sq feet)
- Core aerate
- Fertilize (15-0-15, slow release, ~5 lbs product per 1000 sq ft)
What I was considering:
- Spreading Disarm G (granular) in the fall when it appeared the disease was active. I'm not quite sure what this looks like, but the internet tells me the diseased region of grass at the margin of the patch will turn orange when the fungus is active, or that the leaf sheaths may show lesions or discoloration
After reading this forum, I also see some other folks are advocates of organic methods to attract beneficial fungi, such as spreading 20 lbs corn mean / 1000 sq ft. I am willing to try this as well, as even though I have purchased the fungicide I would prefer to not use it than need it.
Thanks for your thoughts and guidance!
Weather update: I'm worried that this year the active disease cycle will occur earlier than normal. It hasn't been above 90 here for maybe a week or so, when we are often 95+. Nighttime lows are also in the low 60s, and we have been getting a TON of rain (every other day) for the last maybe two weeks. With all that moisture and cool temperatures I am worried the fungus will become active earlier than normal.
That is excellent evidence of a fungal disease. I was very busy in July and missed this post. What I would have suggested to apply was corn meal at 20 pounds per 1,000 square feet. The problem with zoysia is that it is so slow to recover that you can't always tell if the corn meal worked. Since 2002 corn meal has worked for me on several different fungal diseases in St Augustine.

Meir Panim delivers warmth, special care to families in need.
Two weeks ago, in my weekly column on the NRG website, I wrote, "Nobody really understands why Israel is going to early elections." So when I heard that the election merry-go-round had been cancelled, I was pleased.
True, the cancellation comes at the price of incorporating Kadimah into the government coalition. Kadimah is an unsavory, redundant party. But if this is the price Prime Minister Netanyahu feels he must pay to preserve stability and governmental continuity for four full years, I can certainly understand. If this brilliant move will bring about a change in the substandard governing culture in Israel, a culture that dictates that the average government in Israel lasts less than three years, then we have all gained a very important and fundamental norm.
The problem with brilliant moves, though, is that they are like floor tiles: The more brilliant they are, the easier it is to slip and break your head.
The power that the government will now have will allow it to make and carry out decisions in a responsible and measured manner without feeling pressured to dance to the drums of the media and the leftist chorus. Two major landmines are now at the new government's doorstep. In both cases, logic, wisdom and justice are on one side, and media populism is on the other. This can be a great opportunity to do the right thing, or a great temptation to be swept away in populism's murky stream. The ball is now at the mountain peak. Netanyahu and his new political partner, Kadima leader Shaul Mofaz, will decide in which direction it will roll.
The two major issues on the table are the threatened destruction of the Ulpana Hill neighborhood of Beit El and the drafting into the army of the ultra-Orthodox. It is easy enough to understand that if the corrupt Holyland project was not demolished – and certainly not the tens of thousands of illegal Arab homes that nobody dares to touch – there is no reason in the world to destroy the Ulpana Hill neighborhood. The unity government can legislate a solution to the problem and easily absorb the ranting of the leftist chorus and its offshoots that will look on in dismay, as the victims of its planned destruction are snatched from its clutches.
On the haredi draft issue, reality shows that the haredi demand for appropriate enlistment frameworks is on the rise and has already outpaced the supply that the IDF can provide. This trend will continue, as it is impossible to stop it. It is just a matter of creating more and more appropriate frameworks in which the ultra-Orthodox can serve while maintaining their religious observance standards. Actually, there is only one thing that can stop this positive trend: mandatory draft into the current military frameworks, which the haredi community sees as anti-religious coercion. Whoever wants to be sure that the haredim will not enlist should go with the populist option.
These are the new government's challenges. On one hand, it has all the opportunities; on the other, it is in danger of falling fast and hard. It can succeed and glorify the State of Israel and the Likud, or it can slide and break its head. Just look at what happened to Ariel Sharon and Kadima.

I spent a whole week in this flat. Everything was very nice. The owner was very friendly and gave me some helpful ideas about what to do in Cracow. I didn't use the kitchen that much, because you can get good food in the city centre for a cheap price.

December 09, 2014 // 12:00pm — 2:00pm
Canada Institute
Peter Dixon's study on the dependence of U.S. jobs on trade and investment with Canada uses an economic model to look at how employment in the United States would be affected by a cessation of bilateral trade. In doing so, Dixon and his colleagues conclude that nearly 9 million jobs in the United States, in every state and congressional district, are supported by trade and investment with Canada.

December 04, 2014 // 2:00pm — 3:30pm
Global Europe Program
President Obama used his recent trip to Asia to push through the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP), the centerpiece of the US rebalance to the region. The US pivot represents a significant shift in the country's foreign policy and has generated debate in Europe as to whether it should align with Washington or adopt a more autonomous position, considering that Europe too has rebalanced toward Asia in the last decade. The focus of the European pivot both competes with and complements that of the US.

Canada Institute
From widespread fears about energy security, the debate in the United States in recent years has shifted to how the abundance of natural gas and significant new oil reserves are fundamentally altering the U.S. energy relationship with the world. North American energy independence is rapidly becoming a reality, with the United States now confident that it will be able to satisfy declining national demand for oil through a combination of domestic, Canadian, and Mexican supply, fuel efficiency measures, and a long-term shift from gasoline and diesel to natural gas-based fuel for transportation.

Canada Institute
The recent surge in North American oil and natural gas is moving the balance of power in energy production from the Middle East to the West. Soon, Mexican energy reforms and newly accessible Arctic resources will add to this North American energy boom. U.S. energy infrastructure and policies must adapt to meet the energy revolution occuring in North America. At the same time, energy consumption is growing exponentially in Asia, raising new challenges and opportunities for East-West cooperation in international energy.

- 2009 Feb 27
21:5 Cool—today when we read this, we understand it's a teaching because to do so would mean they were following the pagan customs/idol worship of the day. Makes more sense.
21:10 "The high priest has the highest rank of all the priests. The anointing oil has been poured on his head..." When I read this, I visualized Jesus, our great High Priest, getting the expensive perfume poured over His head (Mt. 26:7 and Mark 14:3) and declaring that it was His anointing for burial.
21:13 "The high priest may marry only a virgin." Through a refining process, namely through His Word and through persecution, Jesus has been refining His Bride, the Church, to become as pure and undefiled as a virgin for the future wedding day. This purification is necessary because our hearts have been defiled by the pursuit of other gods and idols—things that take His place in our hearts.
21:17-21 The verse that instantly popped into my mind is from Isaiah 53:5: But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities; the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.
For more understanding on this passage (if you forgot or your new to the blog), refer to January 25 where we covered the same topic of this reading.
9:5 Remember this incident took place during the Feast of Tabernacles, and it was not "shrines" Peter offered to build but Sukkots or Shelters (another example of people translating without having a clue of what was going on at the time from Jewish culture). The Complete Jewish Translation translates this correctly: Kefa (Peter) said to Yeshua, "It's good that we're here, Rabbi! Let's put up three shelters -- one for you, one for Moshe and one for Eliyahu."
About the transfiguration, Wikipedia had an interesting observation: It was commonly believed that Elijah would reappear before the coming of the Messiah, as predicted in Malachi 4. Matthew 17:13 states that the three of them believed Jesus was comparing Elijah to John the Baptist. Moses could be seen as a representative of the [Torah] and Elijah a representative of the prophets.
9:23-24 Have mercy on us and help us, if you can."
"What do you mean, 'If I can'?" Jesus asked. "Anything is possible if a person believes."
The father instantly cried out, "I do believe, but help me overcome my unbelief!"
I think we all resonate with this man. I believe with my head, but my heart has a hard time catching up sometimes!
9:29 Again, note that some manuscripts include "and fasting." The disciples were criticized because they were not fasting while they were with the bridegroom. But Jesus had fasted 40 days to set an example for us as to the power for ministry.
Questions for reflection:
What are the specific requests you are having a hard time believing God for in your life right now? What unresolved circumstances seem bigger to you than the reality of the power of Jesus? Have you asked God to help you overcome your unbelief?
Have you ever considered fasting for those people in your life who seem to be under Satan's power that you desperately want to come to healing and faith in Jesus? Maybe your kids, parents, siblings, closest friends? Fasting is definitely a labor of love!

The Portland Trail Blazers appear to have righted themselves after a slump and look for their third straight victory when they host the Denver Nuggets on Saturday. Portland endured a five-game losing streak before bouncing back with road wins at Utah and Phoenix, and the contest against Denver is the first of a three-game homestand. The Nuggets have showed life of late by going 8-6 since Melvin Hunt became interim coach after Brian Shaw was fired.

Luigi Circuit (MC) - Mario Kart Wii
Back to Mario Kart Wii Guide Index
More for this game: Mario Kart Wii
Luigi Circuit
1) Nice straight for a wheelie.
2) Drift-boost around this bend
3) Don't bother with the curves, do a wheelie and go straight though them all.
4) Orange drift boost around this bend
5) Start a wheelie and continue down to the next point
6) If you have a mushroom, you can cut across the sand and jump off the ramp. It's a nice and easy shortcut.
7) Drift into the boost pads here, charging up a boost. At the end of the curve, wait for the pads boost to wear off then unleash your drift-boost. Start the next lap with a wheelie.
8) if you have a mushroom and feel a little more daring, take the corner sharp at point 6 and use the mushroom though the sand behind the pipes, drifting as you go. As soon as the mushroom ends, unleash the boost to get back on the track right behind the finish line.
A very simple course where any kart could win. A nice test track as well, as you can do pretty much everything on it.

Saying it will help to create jobs and expand the use of clean, renewable energy in Massachusetts, the Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA), along with its Solar Heating and Cooling Alliance (SHC), are urging the State Senate to adopt S. 1970, allowing renewable thermal technologies to qualify for the Alternative Portfolio Standard and provide a credit that incentivizes renewable thermal technologies.
Saying it will benefit Massachusetts consumers by improving access to net metering, the Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA) today announced its support for legislation in both the State Senate and State House of Representatives, which will allow public and private distributed generation (DG) solar projects to continue, while preserving and expanding jobs in clean, reliable solar energy across the state.
California set back-to-back solar power records last week, the state grid operator said on Monday. The amount of electricity produced from carbon-free solar facilities connected to the grid reached 4,093 megawatts on Saturday, surpassing the day-earlier record of 3,926 MW, the California Independent System Operator (ISO) said in a statement.
If the faces of renewable energy critics are not red yet, they soon will be. For years, these critics — of solar photovoltaics in particular — have called renewable energy a boutique fantasy. A recent Wall Street Journal blog post continues the trend, asserting that solar subsidies take money from the poor to benefit the rich. But solar-generated electricity is turning into a powerful environmental and economic success story.
The Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA), the national trade association for the solar energy industry, announced today that it has officially merged with the Solar Alliance, an advocacy organization committed to establishing solar policies at the state level. Effective immediately, the Solar Alliance will operate under the SEIA brand in an effort to present a unified solar industry voice in all advocacy efforts at the state level. Carrie Cullen Hitt, president of the Solar Alliance, is now Vice President for State Affairs at SEIA, and the Solar Alliance team joins Hitt as part of SEIA's new department for State Affairs.
Rhone Resch, president and CEO of the Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA), released the following statement today on the progress of the Obama Administration, and Secretary of the Interior Ken Salazar in particular, in developing utility-scale solar energy projects on public lands this year.
The Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA) announced today it has elected the following individuals to serve on SEIA's Board of Directors: Zachary Axelrod, founder and CEO of Skyline Innovations; Susan Brown, Principal at Brightenergy; Tony Clifford, CEO at Standard Solar Inc.; Todd Glass, Partner at Wilson Sonsini Goodrich & Rosati PC; and Ed Murray, President of Aztec Solar Inc.
The U.S. solar energy industry achieved a new record for installations and growth in the third quarter of 2011 thanks to utility-scale project completions, a strong residential market, effective policies and the plummeting price of solar panels, according to a report released today by GTM Research and the Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA).
The Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA(R)) and the Maryland, DC and Virginia SEIA (MDV-SEIA) today announced a formalized partnership to coordinate the resources of both organizations and promote the growth of the region's solar energy market.
A bill to repeal the US state of North Carolina's Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency Standard (REPS) has stalled in a committee of the North Carolina House of Representatives, failing to win the support of some members of the Republican Party.
The Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA) has said multilateral trade negotiations between the EU, US and China are important to end the dispute with the BRIC country over anti-dumping and anti-subsidy allegations involving Chinese solar panels. Following a meeting in China last week, the US solar association said it time for the west and BRIC nations to work together before the dispute affects the global solar supply chain.

Arizona Public Service Co. and the solar industry have published conflicting studies estimating the value of rooftop solar panels, foreshadowing a debate that will determine the future of the budding solar industry in Arizona.
Sometime this summer, what had been 17 acres of useless space atop a capped landfill on Holyoke Street will start generating 2.7 megawatts of power with solar panels.

Reaction To Diablo 3's Always-Online Requirement 591
from the sour-grapes dept.
We've improved Slashdot's video section; now you can view our video interviews, product close-ups and site visits with all the usual Slashdot options to comment, share, etc. No more walled garden! It's a work in progress -- we hope you'll check it out (Learn more about the recent updates).
This is not about the economy. If it was, they would do the same thing they did for diablo ii. Local games were not part of the economy. Battle.net games were. There's no reason they couldn't do the same thing for Diablo III. Unless their real purpose is preventing piracy.
I'm having a LAN party in September. Starcraft II is not on the game list. Starcraft: Brood War is. I own Starcraft II, but not everyone coming does. They would all buy it if it allowed LAN play. As it is, we will be content playing Starcraft, Unreal Tournament Classic, and Terraria.
The significant difference is that it is a system requirement that does not need to be there. Having a particular video card is essential for computer to actually run the game whereas an internet connection active on a single player campaign is not (especially if its only purpose is increased DRM). Now if Blizzard decided to stream content to the game and have unique quests (or other elements) popping up in-game during different days, THEN such a connection would be justified as you would otherwise lose access to that extra content. Hopefully Blizzard does something else with this "always online" requirement outside of keeping tabs on who actually paid money for the game. It would certainly be a good motivator to buy because you would get more out of the game than someone whom pirated and was left with a fixed amount of content. Re-playability would be much higher too because there would always be more to do.

In the past 6 months or so I have had 4-5 beers taste very off, but could never identify what was wrong. Last night I finally got 2 of these "off" beers in front of a few senior judges, and I the beers were infected with lactobacillus. How do I get rid of this, are there any guidelines, ie replacing certain equipment, cleaning other equipment a certain way, etc? Currently every 2-3 batches come out with a very sour, undesirable taste, and this is obviously unacceptable to me.
My current cleaning/sanitation procedure is to empty and rinse the carboys or buckets after racking, then soak in Oxiclean for a few hours, then put away. When brewing everything that touches the wort post boil gets soaked in either StarSan or Iodophor. I don't know what I could be doing better sanitation wise, but obviously I'm not doing enough!
What environmental factors could be contributing to this, IE are there certain foods or items that could be increasing my risk of infection?
Are you grinding your grains in the same space as you ferment/brew? Grain dust will carry lacto.
Are there scratches in any of your equipment? How well do you rinse? Do you need to change any hoses?
Also, do you notice the taste when the beer is in the bottling bucket or after it has been in bottles? This would narrow the infection down to a certain part of your process...
Yeah, I crush the grain a few feet from where I eventually boil, cool, and rack the wort, I'll have to change that!
What about equipment sanitation, would this potentially indicate that my sanitation practices are ok, or are there certain steps I should take to ensure this, IE somehow deep cleaning my equipment and/or replacing certain other equipment?
Replace all plastic. Hose, siphons, buckets, airlocks, bungs. Give everything else a good soak, scrub, and Star San soak.
I would start with just moving where you crush the grains, I would not be suprised if that cleared the whole issue up. I doubt it is in your equipment/sanitation regimen since it is only an occasional issue. Sounds like grain dust to me.
you could just brew sour beers from here on out

CNN correspondent at inaugural parade: I feel like I should pinch myself right now
**Written by Doug Powers
The scene in the press section during today's inaugural parade was indeed chaotic as "journalists" covering the event were overcome with emotion:
CNN's national political correspondent, Jim Acosta, had to be revived with smelling salts after being stationed a little too close to the first couple and suffering from an overdose of awesomeness. "I feel like I should pinch myself right now":
Acosta knew that if he was to be pinched he'd have to do it himself, because his CNN colleagues were busy acting like tweens at a Justin Bieber concert:
NBC's Brian Williams got in on the action too: "There hasn't been this much fascination with a first lady since Jackie Kennedy" (Related trivia: To solidify the Jackie/Michelle comparison even further, it's been said that once at a White House luncheon Jackie Kennedy rolled her eyes at something said by then Speaker of the House Galusha Grow, and that feistiness was repeated today).
Andrea Mitchell predictably got in on the act as well. I was surprised, because to my knowledge neither Brian nor Andrea referenced the movie The American President as they often like to do when talking about Obama. If that's the case I lost a bet.
These people are yet again among the pool of objective journalists who the GOP will allow to moderate debates in 2016.

The Schnapsen Log
The Schnapsen Log is a series about the card game Schnapsen, and how to play it like a master. Schnapsen is the national card game of Austria and Hungary. It is very similar to the German game Sechsundsechzig (Sixty-six). These games are popular throughout Europe, where they go by various regional names, including Snapszer, Snapszli, Hatvanhat, Mariagen-Spiel, Mariáš, Santase, Tute, and Exinta-exi. Schnapsen is easy to learn, requires only one other willing player (or a computer program, always willing), is quick and fun to play, and is full of interesting strategy.
My goal in this series is to teach you everything you need to know about the strategy for winning Schnapsen. I will present thought-provoking situations that arise commonly in Schnapsen, in a manner very similar to the daily newspaper's bridge or chess columns. Here are a few of the most recent columns. Check out the archives for older columns.
Homework on Expected Values
Martin Tompa
January 29, 2015
I am once again teaching a course on Probability and Statistics, using Schnapsen as a running example of applications of Probability. It's been fun teaching Schnapsen to a large group of students who had never encountered it before.
In the course, we are just up to the topic of expected value now, so it seems appropriate to give them a homework exercise that involves expected game points. Today's column is that homework exercise. This means that I won't be posting my analysis until one week from now, when the homework will be due. A similar homework exercise appeared as a column last year.

calling all dahlia experts
I am new to this forum I need all of your help with a dahlia situation. I have a new job as an estate gardener and my employer loves dahlia ( who doesn't?) She ordered about 200 new dahlias this early spring and I got them in the ground in May. The beds I was to put them in has a crop of tulips and then in go the dahlias. This happens every year so likewise no crop rotation. About a third of the dahlias did not come up the rest came up and looked great until they got about 8 inches tall. Then they started to wilt and died. I dug them up and the tuber is all mushy. The people I work with said last years crop was fine. Can any of you tell me what may be happening and what to do about it? I live in hot and humid Virginia and we have had a lot of rain fall this spring.
Hi there,
if tubers rot, it is most likely caused by too much water in the soil.
And you mentioned a wet sprig, so that could be a factor.
What kind of soil do you have, loamy or sandy?
If they started growing already and started wilting later, that could mean that they were healthy at the beginning but struggled with the soil conditions.
The sheer number of your failed Dahlias isn`t an accident. I would look at the soil first of all.
I am not familiar wit your climate. was it mild weather when you planted in May?
Dahlia tubers hate cold wet soil, so that could be another angle.
Good luck with your Dahlias, bye, Lin
and perhaps you could post a pic of the Dahlia bed, that would be helpful
Its most likely wet soil. Dahlias are native to Mexico. I had to transplant most of my tubers just days after planting them this year because of excess moisture and the area holding water just below soil surface, so that the soil around the tubers was sopping wet and muddy. I had to build mounds out of some sand/soil mixture about 7-8" tall, then I replanted the dahlias about 5-6" deep in the mounds, so that they are all about 2" above the ground around them. That should protect against sitting water.
Its either that, or the dahlia tubers you were provided werent viable, and were already dead, or didnt have eyes where the stem grows. I have seen both. Some times the packs of dahlia tubers sold at stores will die due to drying out, etc. That, and many tubers dug up in the fall at the end of the growing season will not produce an eye. If they dont have eyes, they wont grow.
Thanks for your help Highlander and linaria Almost all the tubers came from Swan Island so I am assuming they were viable. The soil is water retentive but not soggy and I planted them when the soil was warm. It is just odd that about 50% - 60% came up in the beds and then about 20% of those died the rest look fine. If it is a soil issue wouldn't all the tubers be affected? I really want to keep the ones that are up and healthy that way. Could this be a fungal problem?
I bought 8 tubers from Swan Island a few years ago, and I am growing the descendants from 4 of those varieties now. One of the tubers I bought from Swan Island didnt grow. Actually, it came up, but then abruptly died even though it was planted in the same area, under the same conditions of the other 7. I also had planted a tuber I bought from a local store that was obviously viable when I first bought it because I could see the stem coming out of its eye in the bag. I planted it about 2 weeks before the other 8 mentioned above, and it came up. But then we had 4 days of intermittent rainfall, and that tuber rotted and the plant died.
I would recommend you dig down to the level of a few of the tubers you planted and see if the soil at tuber level is wet. The problem you may have is that the soil may have been wet before, but now it could have dried out significantly. Its odd that so many good tubers would die for no apparent reason. For so many to die, there must be a reason aside from just random chance. If it was just a few you could chalk it up as nature's version of Murphy's law, as often a few bulbs or tubers from a quantity will not grow. But for so many to start growing and then die is odd. Even if you planted lots of tubers and they just never came up, that would be unusual.
Its hard to say what else it could be without being able to see the soil, or without being able to see the planting area and the lay of the land. Maybe a soil test would be a good idea, but the best things to do are: 1. Ask your local cooperative extension service and give them a soil sample, show them pictures, etc. 2. Ask Swan Island for a credit for the tubers that failed to grow.
Thank you Highland for your advise and concern. I have decided that it is that the soil is too wet and I am going to move the remaining dahlias to higher ground. My local extension service has been called and a soil sample taken. I have to figure out how to get better drainage in those beds. I cannot build up the soil because the beds are contained in stone. First things first today I am on a rescue mission. I have never moved dahlias before but I believe they will die if I leave them where they are. Wish me luck. Thanks again.

Pretty and roomy too!
Carla from Fall creek, WI– Verified Buyer
The bag is lovely, colors are muted I thought the brown might be a richer color but still nice. There is tons of room in this bag for full size hair and body products. If fully loaded the hanging strap may not hold. I carry it in my hands when it's heavy because I don't think the hanger loop will stay sewn in, that would be my only con.
