Death to Poa - ethofumesate (again)
Preemergence and early postemergence herbicide agaist the dreaded poa annua (and some others). Bayer's Prograss is the poster child and commonly cited in research and literature. It is very expensive at some $450+ for a 2.5 gal bottle. However, other ethofumesate concentrates are available. UPI makes Poa Constrictor (gotta love the name!) and Bayer also has another sister product to Prograss called Nortron SC. There is supposedly a generic version made by AgValue, but I could not find a source for it.
Norton SC is primarily labeled for sugarbeets. However, if you look at the label (see link below), buried in the text is labeling for grass seed crops, namely ryegrass, tall fescue, bentgrass and KBG. Looking at the MSDS, it is apparent the formulation is more closely related to UPI's Poa Constrictor than it is to Prograss. A 2.5 gal bottle of Poa Constrictor or Nortron has 4lb of etho--that is in contrast to 1.5lb in Prograss. That means application rate is more than halfed--9/16 oz/1000 sq.ft. for KBG!!! When you factor in that 2.5 gal of Nortron is half the cost of 2.5 gal of Prograss, the cost savings is 4x!!! An additional benefit of Nortron or Poa Constrictor is that their products are non-flammable. Prograss is highly flammable (inert ingredients: petroleum distillates) and will need special shipping arrangements accordingly.
Some ethofumesate info is below:
Annual Grasses
Barnyardgrass (Echinochloa crus-galli)
Bluegrass, annual (Poa annua)
Canarygrass (Phalaris canariensis)
Crabgrass, large (Digitaria sanguinalis)
Crabgrass, smooth (Digitaria ischaemum)
Foxtail, green (Setaria viridis)
Foxtail, yellow (Setaria glauca)
Annual Broadleaves
Burclover (Medicago sp.)
Chickweed, common (Stellaria media)
Purslane, common (Portulaca oleracea)
Pigweed, redroot (Amaranthus retroflexus)
-will also reduce competition from:
Nutsedge, purple (Cyperus rotundus)
Nutsedge, yellow (Cyperus esculentus)
Annual Grasses
Bluegrass, annual (Poa annua)
Annual Broadleaves
Chickweed, common (Stellaria media)
Clover, white (Trifolium repens)
Annual Grasses
Crabgrass, large (Digitaria sanguinalis)
Crabgrass, smooth (Digitaria ischaemum
* do NOT apply to zoysia, hard/fine fescues *
-apply at the earliest possible weed growth stage--no later than the 4-leaf stage
-Spring and Fall - apply during maximum weed germination
-Fall - end as close to the first killing freeze as possible
-KBG is most sensitive so application rates are lowered. Fall applications may see reduced turf quality the following spring. Nortron recommends application on kbg at least 12 months old. Poa Constrictor recommends at least 8 weeks after emergence.
-KBG cultivars known to be tolerant: Adelphi, American, Aspen, Asset,Challenger, Classic, Emundi, Huntsville, Georgetown, Glade, Haga,Julic, Liberty, Merit, Midnight, Monopoly, Mystic, Parade, Rugby,Sydsport, Touchdown. Also: Moonlight (according to this paper)
-KBG *DO NOT APPLY* to: Explorer,Limousine, Northstar, RAN I and Total Eclipse
-PR cultivars tolerant: Acclaim, Blazer, Dasker, Derby, Elka,Fiesta, Goalie, Hunter, Linn, Loretta, Manhattan II, Palmer, Pennfine,Regal, Yorktown
-TTTF tolerant: America, Arid, Mustang
-Other cultivars not listed should be spot tested for phytotoxicity.
-reported results are mixed. Some say when used alone, ethofumesate is of little benefit. Other claim nearly complete control after 2 years.
-Legality: Nortron is labeled for commercial sod farms in Ca, Idaho, Nevada, Oregon, and Washington only. For sugar beets, garden beets, onions, garlic, shallots--all states. Poa Constrictor and Prograss are labelled for sod farms in all states but Arizona. That said, my sugar beet garden has a ton of poa I need to get control.
This is where I got my Nortron SC from.
This late in spring may be too late for application as most poa is mature but I am getting ready for war this fall. This fall, I personally will be using Dimension pre-emergence (August 1, October 1) and using ethofumesate for selective spot spraying only (because of desirable turf susceptibility to some extent). I will probably do some test treatments though. DEATH TO POA!
I only just received the stuff today. I am in no rush to use it as it is intended for battle in fall. That said, I did see some new poa seedlings that are apparently breaking through my late March Dimension--perhaps it is time for another. Once he upcomming few days of rain is over, I'll give etho a try. Luckily, I have Midnight/Moonlight KBG so I should be safe.
Other info:
-you should not store the product below 34*F.
-you should not keep product in sprayer after use--wash and rinse sprayer after each use. why?
BTW, several areas I sprayed Certainty are now dead--and I am not talking just the poa! It is definitely not benign to kbg--perhaps I oversprayed?
Yea , I noticed that too with Certainty........my areas treated with Certainty are brown now.....I'm hoping this weeks rain with start the roots of my KGB spreading to green the stuff up. After all this rain we should compare pictures......
By the way M1shmosh where are you from? I'm from SW Ohio here (a few miles south of Dayton)
Continued Death to PIA Grass!!!!!
Meleca, I am in the greater Cleveland area. My front lawn is looking great (now 3 years old). My back is poorly graded and has a ton of grassy weeds that I have not been able to control. In any case, I can send you some Nortron at cost if you want to try it out for yourself. I think 250cc will be plenty--for trial purposes and probably would last you a couple of years. If my math is right, that will probably be $15 shipped. I know the product is registered in Ohio, so I won't be getting into trouble.
Buzzsaw, it's not that it's THAT expensive. 2.5 gal will treat quite a few acres. We homeowners are mainly spot treating maybe a few hundred square ft of badly affected area. It's more the packaging size than the cost.
So it has been a few years- how did you all fare? Did it take a few years to control or is it still a problem? I am in MI and searching for answers as I think my KGB lawn is almost completely Annua in the back yard now. It is nice, dense and if there is KBG left from our sod, it is blended in. The only reason I can tell I have the Poa is the seed heads. How can I get some Nortron? I don't see it for sale anywhere.
Particularly with the use of pre-emergent, my poa annua problems have been greatly reduced. I only had to hand remove about 8-10 small clusters. I am still surveying the lawn almost every week for any more than might crop up but over a period of years, you definitely can get it under control.
A lot of the links on this webpage are no longer valid. Trying to find ethofumesate around the Northwest is tough, and the Prograss is sold in large, farm-oriented expensive quantities when I do find some. Would be nice if Bayer or someone would make the product available to the homeowner market, because there is a real void of other solutions to this out-of-control perennial ryegrass lawn pyranah.
Prograss is definitely expensive. Note that using the Ag version of ethofumesate for residential lawns is unlawful. In any case, at least one study conducted in the NW had woeful results for Prograss alone (see link). I am guess the mild winters is not conducive to winter kill. Better is the use of Tenacity, which thankfully is now labelled for residential lawns and comes in palatable "acre" bottles for about $50. Even better would be the tankmix of Prograss and Tenacity in the fall.
Here is a link that might be useful: WSU study

We R Inn Hotel: Davao City's Value-for-Money Hotel
ATTENTION: TOURISTS ON A BUDGET...This hotel is for you! We R Inn Hotel, conveniently located at J. P. Laurel Avenue, Davao City.
This was not our original choice but a last-minute accommodation recommended to us by a friend in Davao City. However, we couldn't have made a better choice. Budget-wise, rates start at P800/night for single travelers, 1,200 for triple occupancy and P1000 for matrimonial bedroom. Rates are really okay for the rooms that we got. Nothing fancy but the air conditioner was really "cool" and the bathrooms are big enough to accommodate tall or wide-of-girth people...definitely bigger than most budget hotels. No windows, though for a good view...but then, you will stay in the rooms to sleep only anyway.
The best part is...the room rates come with free breakfast! Just the usual corned beef-egg, fried fish-egg with fried rice and coffee breakfast but, mind you, they are all cooked when you order, and gets to you piping hot!
Location-wise, just cross the street a shopping Mall is there. Take a short ride and you'll be at the Victoria Plaza, other shopping malls and fruit stands.
The front desk personnel are very accommodating, who were very attentive to our needs and provided information about tours, taxis, places to go, etc. Gave us a good discount too!
If you need info on this hotel, just email me. Will be happy to answer questions.
This small hotel has got Internet available for free...but if you don't have a laptop with you, there are desktop units in the lobby which you can rent by the hour at very reasonable prices.
If you have a car (rented or otherwise), the hotel has a big compound which can accommodate vans, cars and buses with adequate security.

Marco Polo Davao: First class service and accommodation
I was absolutely satisfied with our stay at the Marco Polo Davao. All the staff we encountered in the hotel were quick in delivering our requests and they were all pleasant.
First of all, we were allowed early check-in. We arrived at about 10am at Marco Polo Davao. No time was wasted - as soon as we filled out the information sheet at the front desk, we were given our room key and our bags were sent up to the room. This gave us time to rest a bit before going out for lunch and a full afternoon of sightseeing.
We stayed in a deluxe room. Although nothing outstanding with its design, the room was well-maintained and spacious and comes with a very comfortable bed. The bathroom was also clean and had the usual toiletries and towel sets for two. Our room had a big window with a nice view of the city.
My husband asked the housekeeping staff to press one of his shirts, but unfortunately wrote the wrong instruction on the laundry service sheet. My husband told the housekeeping staff about it and, without any complaint or hesitation, the housekeeping staff pressed his shirt again and brought it back to our room right away.
I do recommend this hotel to people who would like to really enjoy their trip to Davao City. Its price is higher than most hotels in the area (I think its room rates are almost the same as those of Waterfront Insular Hotel), but it is worth it.
What I remember well about the facilities at Marco Polo Davao is the swimming pool. It is particularly stunning in the evening. It has colored lights that change every few minutes.
It was also a delight to hang out at their poolside bar, because the bar attendants were accommodating and pleasant - even while they were mixing drinks for customers.

Hotel Galleria
Nice location. We didnt have a prior reservation so the only availbale room that they had was the junior suite (or something like that) for around P3,000. They do have the basic ammenities, TV and ref. They dont have elevators so we had to climb the stairs up to the 3rd floor. Breakfast is not included unfortunately and if I remember it right, there's also no coffee/tea in the room. Well considering the price, I somehow expected it.
Nice location

The owner was nice over the phone and upon meeting her in person, I found her to be very nice. Perhaps it's just the nice guy in me, but I had no problems. The location was perfect and the rooms were basically fine. Upon checkout, the owner pointed out I overpaid and promptly gave me a refund of the difference in cash! She also helped me with airline reservations for me back to Manila (saved me a few pesos, too). I intend to stay there again next April 2009, but it would be nice to secure larger accommodations.
Across the street from NCCC Mall. Internet cafe located a few feet from the main entrance. A small bank branch located a few feet from the main entrance. Walking distance to a nice KTV Bar and Restaurant.

Waterfront Insular Hotel: Davao's oldest premier hotel
Despite changes in name and ownership over the years, the Insular hotel has remained to be one of the choice locations when in Davao. The hotel is located outside the city proper, about 15 mins. from the airport, and right beside the Davao gulf from where you can see Samal Island in the distance. Rooms are located in 3 2-story wings and while they have been regularly refurbished, one can't help but notice the 1960's style of design. The breakfast is OK, the pool is big and warm, and the grassy grounds have a lot of coconut trees that provide shade.
While the place is generally good, there was only one experience when I got VERY disappointed. When we had lunch at the Cafe Uno resto, we had to wait for our orders for ONE HOUR!!! The waiter did say that the cooking time would take 30 mins., but one hour was for me a record of sorts. Good thing we weren't that hungry when we came but I'm sure many others would not have been as patient. So except for the buffet breakfast, DON'T eat lunch or dinner there.
The hotel might have a beach but unfortunately the water is not so clean so nobody actually swims in it. Their grounds have a big tent where wedding receptions and other functions can be held.

Casa Leticia: A Cozy Home away from Home in Davao
we had a nice stay in casa leticia. the rooms were okay, although the walls are thin you can hear the tv blaring from the other room. the service was very cordial. when we asked for a towel and tissue paper, the housekeeping lady delivered service with a smile. the receptionists were always smiling. breakfast was ok the bangus (milkfish) could have been better marinated but all in all i think the hotel gave value for money.
exellent location, across the people's park in davao, friendly service

Eden Nature Park: Nature trippin'
Eden is more than just a HUGE nature park, its an all-in family vacation park. There's a lot for everyone in the family.
Accommodation are in form of villas and self-sufficient cottages in various sizes for big and small families, out-of-town trip with friends and some cottages even with a cozy fireplace. Equipped with cooking facilities (by request) and the basic living facilities, it sure can make a vacation fun and family (or friendship) - oriented. For an option, camping areas are also available.
What to do here? Lots! There's a pool for some water fun and a fantastically huge playground with all unique playthings, ziplines, obstacle relay, and even traditional Filipino games like sipa. There are various gardens to see - an exotic flower garden, a garden of herbs, a vegetable garden, several nurseries, tree nurseries, etc. There's also a mini-zoo to amuse and excite the kids. Though majority of the property is man-made, a large part is let grown to a thick forest. You wouldn't realize it was an empty piece of land years ago.
For a minimal cost, take a multi-cab tour of the place to see all the highlights of the nature park. Do take note that you only see about a third of the whole property. There are a lot more to discover when you stay over. If you can, bring your bicycle for your own exploration. For those who prefer it, take the guided hiking and jogging trails and discover flora and fauna you missed and find hidden waterfalls and streams. A small lagoon is also available for fishing.
Oh, and don't forget to catch a filling, hearty meal from the park's restaurant.

Microtel Inn & Suites: Damosa Gateway Makes it Complete
We had an awesome time in this place. The Hotel is surrounded with a establishments, the Damosa Gateway and the Market Basket. We had good meals in the nearby resto at a very reasonable price and a good time at the nearby bars. There's also an acoustic trio playing on Friday/Saturday nights.
If you get ssoooo tipsy, no problem of going home because the guard can drag you to your hotel. Hehehe
I got tipsy and i fell inlove with one of the buddies i was with. damn...hahahaha
The staff are very accommodating and friendly. The rooms are clean and neatly prepared.
The linens smells good too. The buffet breakfast is good enough too.

Casa Ruby Bed and Breakfast/Pension House: Davao City Cheap (inexpensive) Hotel
I have enjoyed and stayed at Casa Ruby. Many don't know about this place. The staff there a really nice and easy to get along with. They have always been helpful. For those that don't want to stay in a hotel, pay much higher prices, or stay in a more homey atmosphere, Casa Ruby will fulfill those goals.
It definitely has a rather good location since it is very close to the city proper yet located in a non-business area. The closest major intersection is Mabini St. and Circumferential roads. One of the really nice benefits of staying there will be easily getting a taxi or tricycle. It costs generally less than the US dollar to take a taxi to three different malls.
They also have community areas that provide for more room to relax and enjoy your stay. They have a karaoke machine that offers really good sound for those that want to enjoy it. At times, guess can play the piano also. Internet access will also be available to guests.
The place is very secure since they take very good measures to keep the place locked while also having a security guard at nighttime. Staff live on the premises so getting help with various needs can be readily done. Also, getting your laundry done is available.
Free breakfast comes with every room for your night's stay.
The price range for rooms ranges from 850 to 1300 pesos per night.
They have a website.
oh..and..No Smoking from what I have seen
They also have long-term rates that will be much less than the nightly ones. Generally you need to stay at least a month to get those rates.

Humberto's: homey little hotel
Humberto's is a quaint little hotel at Davao downtown area but not so downtown-type since it's located in a residential street about 2 blocks from the land-marked Marco Polo hotel and Aldevinco Shopping area. It's a homey 3-story place and give the feeling of a bed and breakfast rather than a hotel. Staff are very friendly and place very neat and clean. Will stay there again when i go back to Davao.
Hotel has an in-house restaurant that offers asian cuisine. Not much view since its in the downtown area, not much parking except the side of the road. No pool, no garden. Free wifi service at the lobby and restaurant.

Waterfront Insular: for the international tourist
First class hotel with sprawling 560-room complex. Fantastically spacious including the rooms and the whole hotel area shaded in a coconut tree lined property. Service teams were very attentive to guests' needs. The place was so quiet i almost missed my schedule on things to do. Buffet breakfast should not be missed!
Great place to go swimming in their large oval pool. Beachfront great to go walking on, of jog around the property, of go sunbathing. Place surely suited for families, group trips, or conferences. Beach not great as sand is gray. Tribal weaving, i learned, are during weekdays only.

Centrally located in Davao City, everything is within a short reach : Wharf, Malls, Churches, Aldevinco, Ateneo de Davao, restaurants, sights, etc. Rooms are beautifully and comfortably appointed. Beautiful views of the mountains, Davao Gulf and the city depending on where your room faces. Lobby Lounge and Eagles Bar located on the ground floor offer relaxing music and drinks for weary travelers. Security is tight such as one gets frisked everytime one enters the hotel. Security takes note of plate numbers of taxicabs for everyone's protection which is a plus. Downside is there are still no free wifi connection in any part of the hotel. You need to pay P500 for 24 hours internet connection in your room.

Care for mail order plants?
What's the best way to plant baby bananas that are 8-12"? Is it better to plant them in pots first before transplanting them to the ground? How about sun exposure? Is it better to keep them in a shady place first? If they are to be planted directly in the ground, then it would be hard to protect them from direct sun, or maybe the sun exposure doesn't matter? Finally, what kind of fertilizer is best for them when they're that small? Your advice is greatly appreciated.
I have two unknown varieties of banana in zone 9. All of my plants were transplanted this year, some of them recently. One variety is the toughest plant I've ever seen and never stopped growing after being transplanted. The other variety however let it's leaves go limp the first day it was moved. I clipped them off and the plant continued to grow. I would pot the new plant and put it in morning sun and evening shade and give it a little water in the evening just to be safe. I have never fertilized my banana plants except for some miracle grow now and then.
I usually pot mine up for at least a little while so they can recover from shipping. The last one I got was wilted and droopy and losing leaves for at least a week or two. I was afraid I would lose it altogther, so I decided to keep it in the shade until it got its act together. After a few weeks, I gradually moved it into the sun, and now it's doing great a month later.
The directions I got for mine were to put it in morning sun / afternoon shade for the first 1-2 weeks so that they don't burn.
I would wait a week before starting to use water soluable fertilizer (or until it is clearly growing) like Miracle Gro and after a month they said it's okay to add in time-release fertilizer like Osmocote too.
I'd keep it in a pot until it's a decent size too.
Also, becareful not to overwater before it gets its root established.

Tight ends, fullbacks expect to be bigger part of UND's offense
GRAND FORKS — When University of North Dakota football coach Bubba Schweigert was hired last winter, he promised fans a certain offensive style.
The style would be a run-first, smash-mouth, old-school brand of football, he said.
That was music to the ears of tight end Zach Adler and fullback Dwayne Pecosky.

I may be of some help. The elephant garlic I have has the flat wide leaves, and purple bloom. When I divided mine the cloves were un-segmented, with small bulblets underneath the parent clove. After division, some of the cloves did segment, although most did not. If this sounds like what you are looking for let me know.

My boyfriend and I have been intimate; we even live together. But lately I feel as if we are drifting apart. I do not know if it's because of his job (since he works full time to support himself and he's also paying for his degree) or it's me. Although he is away on a trip for work right now, he never even calls me to tell me he misses me. He calls for me to do the work he left behind here for him. He used to be one of my dearest friends before we started dating and now I don't know what has happened. He says that I nag to much. Do you think I should give him space? I do not want to be in a relationship where I am being taken for granted and I really do love him.
Hi Heather, I just found a question from 'samy-baby' concerning rape when performing a google search for something unrelated as it caught my eye. I'm afraid you appeared all too eager to label the bloke as unsafe and 'stay well away from him', given that the girl openly admitted within the first words of her sentence that she gets her boyfriend stupid-horny then says "no sex", that's just cruel, and I doubt many men would tolerate it. I've made it abundantly clear with my girlfriend that if she makes the effort to turn me into a horn-monster, she should finish through or I'm usually very pissed off; not to say that I'd go ahead and have sex with her anyway. All I'm saying is you failed to advise this girl that if she doesn't want to have sex, then she shouldn't get her boyfriend horny.

It seems like pretty much every week one website or another is releasing a methodologically squirrelly "Top 10" or "Top 20" list that ranks American cities in an attempt to neatly enumerate and quantify things that are — let's be honest — unquantifiable. Lots of them sound good for us; for instance, PETA named Atlanta the fourth-most vegetarian-friendly city in the U.S. last year. Others aren't so good, like the 2009 Forbes list that oddly deemed Atlanta the "Most Toxic" U.S. city, based on air pollution, ground contamination, atmospheric chemicals and the number of Superfund sites. (Granted, pollution is more quantifiable than friendliness to non-meat-eaters, but who believes we're really more toxic than, say, Detroit, Cleveland or other Rust Belt burgs?)
Hilariously, even when Atlanta doesn't make a list, it's news. Just this week, the AJC's Biz Beat blog reported that Atlanta was not one of the Daily Beast's 20 Vainest America Cities, a ranking based on how much time and money residents spend on things like spa visits, gym memberships and personal care products. So, is Atlanta a city of fat schlubs? Or, is Atlanta simply a frugal town, as it was identified by Coupons.com's 2010 Savings Index, in which we ranked No. 1 based on per-capita coupon downloads?
Lists like these can influence how nonresidents view Atlanta — and can even affect how we view ourselves. Whether the results are good or bad, we probably shouldn't put much stock in the list du jour. A recent case-in-point: The Advocate's annual ranking of the Gayest U.S. Cities. For all of last year, Atlanta had the distinction of being the gayest city in all the land. Come 2011, that badge of honor was snatched from our neatly pressed lapel and handed to Minneapolis, and Atlanta was bumped all the way down to seventh. Because a city's gayness is a thing that's literally impossible to calculate — even the U.S. Census doesn't account for sexual preference — the Advocate gets creative. Its admittedly unscientific methodology takes into account the number of local gay elected officials, as well as Gay.com profiles, listed officiants for gay weddings, lesbian bars, gay-friendly religious congregations and — get this — the number of times lesbian indie-pop act Tegan and Sara has performed during the past five years.
Forbes is, by far, the most enthusiastic list-maker. Besides being named "Most Toxic," Atlanta has ranked high on several other lists in the past few years, but the veracity of the methodology used is questionable. In both '07 and '08, Atlanta was Forbes' "Most Wired" city, which led a local telecom analyst to comment, "It's a dynamic area with a lot of young people, but exactly why it's No. 1 is a mystery to me." In 2009, Forbes said we were sixth among the "Best Cities for Singles," a verdict many Atlanta singles would likely dispute. Forbes based its rankings on cost of living, job growth, culture, nightlife, online dating and coolness — determined, no joke, by asking people, "Which cities are the coolest?"
So, is Atlanta really great for singles and vegetarians, but less great for gays than it was a year ago? Can frugality be determined by a coupon website? If you ask us, what Atlanta is or isn't shouldn't be determined by its rank on a list.

Julian Assange Hopes New Information Filed in Swedish Court Next Week Will Remove Arrest Warrant
|By: Kevin Gosztola Wednesday June 18, 2014 4:34 pm
WikiLeaks editor-in-chief Julian Assange has been living in the Ecuador Embassy in the United Kingdom for two years. To mark the anniversary, his legal defense team is making a push to have the United Nations Human Rights Commission intervene in the case. His legal defense team is also planning to make a filing in Swedish courts next week that will contain new information.
Edward Snowden Provides Information on NSA Cyber Spying & Hacking to Hong Kong Newspaper
|By: Kevin Gosztola Sunday June 23, 2013 7:00 am
Edward Snowden, the former National Security Agency (NSA) contractor who blew the whistle on secret US surveillance programs like PRISM, has provided details on United States government hacking and cyber-spying to a newspaper in Hong Kong.
The South China Morning Post, which previously interviewed Snowden, was shown information that Snowden said indicated the US government had hacked into "Chinese mobile firms to steal millions of text messages."
The FBI's Political Decision to Put Assata Shakur on Its List of 'Most Wanted Terrorists'
|By: Kevin Gosztola Saturday May 4, 2013 10:40 am
The FBI has added former Black Panther and former member of the Black Liberation Army, Assata Shakur, to its "most wanted terrorist" list. The decision is political and clearly aimed at the Cuban government, which granted political asylum to her after she escaped from prison in 1979. It also is an escalation of the government's demonization of her for continuing to openly espouse radical political views, while in exile outside of the United States.
Lawyers for Julian Assange & WikiLeaks Seek Details on Justice Department's Criminal Investigation
|By: Kevin Gosztola Thursday October 11, 2012 2:22 pm
Lawyers for WikiLeaks and its founder, Julian Assange, have sent a letter to Attorney General Eric Holder requesting further information on the Justice Department's criminal investigation into Assange and WikiLeaks.
Former Spanish judge Baltasar Garzón, counsel to Julian Assange and WikiLeaks, and the Center for Constitutional Rights (CCR) write, "In light of recent reports suggesting the possibility of an ongoing criminal investigation of Mr. Assange and/or WikiLeaks—and the existence of secret grand jury proceedings in the Eastern District of Virginia—we write to assess whether Mr. Assange in fact faces any criminal jeopardy in the United States and to protect his interests in the face of an investigation and/or trial."
Julian Assange's Fears About Extradition to the United States Affirmed
|By: Kevin Gosztola Friday August 17, 2012 10:28 am
How do supporters of WikiLeaks founder and editor-in-chief Julian Assange make the leap that he is more likely to be extradited to the United States from Sweden than the United Kingdom? That is a common question and, certainly, a key question for anyone who remains skeptical of whether Assange should have been granted asylum by Ecuador.
Demand Safe Passage for Julian Assange
|By: Brian Sonenstein Thursday August 16, 2012 1:25 pm
Regardless of your feelings about Julian Assange or Wikileaks, Ecuador has the sovereign right to grant political asylum to individuals who meet their requirements. Ecuador has decided that Julian Assange is justified in his request for asylum, and the UK, US, Sweden and other international players should respect that.
Ecuador's Coming Decision on Julian Assange's Asylum Request
|By: Kevin Gosztola Friday August 3, 2012 10:54 am
WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange has been in the Ecuadorian embassy in London awaiting a decision from Ecuador on his asylum request for over a month now. Recent headlines suggest Ecuador is going through all the motions a country would need to go through before it granted asylum to someone who had made such a request. They also have announced that they will not be making any decision on the Assange's request while the Olympic games in London are taking place.
WikiLeaks Editor-in-Chief Seeks Political Asylum in Ecuador

UK Supreme Court Rejects Julian Assange's Extradition Appeal
|By: Kevin Gosztola Wednesday May 30, 2012 6:22 am
The Supreme Court in the United Kingdom issued a much anticipated decision today, ruling Sweden's request for WikiLeaks founder and editor-in-chief Julian Assange's extradition was "lawfully made." By a majority of 5-to-2, the court found the Swedish public prosecutor in the case was in fact a "judicial authority" and held that the European arrest warrant [...]

i play a warrior because it was the first class i made when i joined wow diddnt have a clue what i was doing =D. but over time i learned the game and warrior is byfar the most fun class i have played and glad its my first toon.
My first toon was a pally that I didn't know what to do with. My second was a rogue and he sucked it. My third was this warrior, we sucked all through wrath and cata, but we dont suck quite so much anymore (no matter how the nerfs pile up) Also me like hit things with big weapon.
100 Gnome Warrior
I've always played the warrior/fighter on other MMO's and single player RPG's, so it was a natural thing. In addition, after learning Charge and hearing that "whooosh" sound at level 3 I just couldn't play other classes with the same degree of enjoyment. =D

90 Human Warrior
I always play warrior in every game that allows class choice. So in WoW I played everything but warrior to try and find something new but didn't enjoy it. I ended up leveling this warrior and sticking to it. I just like the warrior style of play.
I play a warrior because it was the only adventurer I could image from medieval times... and growing up with watching Tails of the crypt keeper, Red wall, Robin Hood, Hercules and a variety of other fantasy shows/Cartoons. Left me with always remembering the Suit of armor and Coat of Arms.... Later playing games like Zelda and Devil May Cry, Monster Hunter, Soul Caliber, also had appeal to me which was in your face melee/ 3rd person view, RT Action.
I love melee, Plate armor, Shields, Swords, Axes, and Hammers, its an amazing forum of combat.
and when your families Coat of Arms Looks this bad !@#.
You better believe I like melee.

100 Orc Warrior
Fast paced in your grill face smashin action. Check
Very active/reactive skills. Check
A resource named Rage. Check
A stance named Berserker. Chek
Swinging large 2 hand axes. Check
Get to wear plate. Check
Charge and Leap. Check
Melee classes have always been appealing to me.
90 Undead Warrior
no magic, no goofy pet, no cowardly stealth, just skill with a sword
73 Dwarf Warrior
This, except in my case a shield.
It seemed the most traditional "Tank" to me. Tanking in my favorite role to play (Best offense is a strong defense and all that), and the Warrior did not use spells, didn't call on supernatural powers, and doesn't rely on other-wordly speed, agility, or shapeshifting. Just a man (or Dwarf) who crafts his armor and his weapon and protects those weaker than him/herself.
I play a warrior because I love the option to Tank, and the mobility a warrior gives is amazing. You can gear up and have more health or damage but to be able to ping pong 6 times across a room only to start having all those mobility spells off CD is amazing. I also love the old Tiers, and if a new one comes out im Meh about, transmog FTW. And when its good Titans Grip is <3
100 Orc Warrior
100 Pandaren Warrior
Before I played WoW I played a various amount of other MMORPGs (Runescape, Conqueror Online, Ragnarok Onlie, ect.). Two of my friends, both female, said I should give WoW a shot. I said no way, I don't have the money for that ect.
Eventually they convinced my twin brother to give it a shot. He bolts into my room and says, "DUDE YOU HAVE TO TRY THIS!" I shooed him away but like a fly he kept pestering me.
He finally convinced me when he said, classes use different resources. I was baffeled. At that point in time I had believed that it was kinda silly in all other games that a melee class used the same resource as a caster. I said, "Ok I'll give it a shot."
Rolled my Warrior and fell in love with Rage, Charge, and the class as a whole.
Why do I still play my warrior? Well here's a couple of reasons.
90 Human Warrior
It fits my personality.
And its cheaper than therapy.
I played a dk for a while. One winter evening I happened to watch 300, Troy and Gladiator, the following morning awakening to realizing I hadn't shaved in a month and my man meat looked massive in the mirror. I immediately went and leveled up my warrior.
I have this odd thing where I really want to hate warriors and love magic classes, but melee always ends up being a ton more fun. Sorry I'm posting on my pally instead of my new Warrior lol, the armory screwed up.

Grad Soleil D'Oro SUMMER Daffodils?
I received a bulb catalog in the mail what caught my attention was the word SUMMER in Grand Soleil D'Oro Summer Daffodils. I've never heard of such a thing but want to ask around here for who has grown them regarding when they bloom (I'm in zone 7), if they reliably come back year after year like "regular" daffodils such as the King Alfred Daffodils I have, etc.
No, they are not a summer daffodil. Actually, according to Daffseek, Grand Soleil d'Or is a very early blooming daffodil. According to Brent and Becky's Bulbs, it is only hardy to zone 8.
I wouldn't purchase anything from a company that gave such bad and misleading product information. I'd suggest ordering from a more reputable source.
It is actually a cultivar of paperwhite narcissus, Narcissus tazetta ssp. aureus. Doesn't require a chill period to bloom, easy to force in the same manner other paperwhites are and not reliably hardy in the ground in PNW zone 7 or 8. And it doesn't bloom in summer :-)
Bizarre. A quick Google found this:
Here is a link that might be useful: Summer daffodils
It seems that the DirectGardening,com site is a site touting it to be a summer daffodil. That site also sells a daffodil they call Summer Cheer and claim that it is an early summer blooming daffodil. Actually, there is no daffodil by the name of Summer Cheer, but it is a synonym for Erlicheer which is a very early blooming Spring daffodil. I wrote them and told them their product information was incorrect, thus making a bad reputation for themselves and disappointing any customers who are expecting their daffodils to bloom in the summer.
I'll report back if I get a reply from them. I am so disgusted by companies that don't know their products, or else are just lying with some of the outrageous information they give about their products. It makes you wonder if they are even gardeners, or no better than big box store stuff.
I have grown Grand Soleil D'Or here in my 8a garden outdoors. There is no prettier early bloomer, in my opinion. However, there is a virus that seems to affect this strain and after the first year, they return, but rarely bloom, and those will be stunted. The foliage will have brown streaks in it after the first year. I wish I could remember where I read the virus info so you could get more specifics, but do not. However, my plants have done exactly as stated. I pulled them up this past week. I was so sad because they had multiplied, and I loved them the first year.
Because grand s.d.o. and erlicheer don't require much chilling (if any?), they can be planted in the spring and will bloom in the summer. That's the marketing idea behind this, they are a daffodil for people who forgot to plant them in the fall.....
Of course when they bloom in the summer, it's usually hot and the blooms don't last more than a couple days, and then they go onto their early spring schedule for the next year (if they can handle the zone).
I remember a couple years ago when earlicheer was marketed heavily by van bourgendien for spring planting and summer bloom. It grew well for a couple years in my zone, but because it's so early the shoots would always get damaged. One winter a warm spell brought it up, then the return of winter killed it.
Donna - sorry to hear they don't return.... sometimes the nicest stuff gives you the most trouble....but if it makes you feel any better I keep trying crape myrtles and they keep dying out on me (but I know it's the winter that kills them, not some unseen virus).
Re: people who forgot to plant their bulbs in the Fall.
The low chill req. bulbs are great for those of us living in warm winter areas. We often don't have enough of the cold winter temps. required by many bulbs so these can work quite well.The big challenge in my area is keeping them watered just enough through the winter.
Because grand s.d.o. and erlicheer don't require much chilling (if any?), they can be planted in the spring and will bloom in the summer.
That makes sense, except Erlicheer shown at the link below, says it is hardy from zones 3-8 meaning it would require chilling. Right?
I think that just goes to show that some of the General Bulb Merchants are not nearly as good or reliable as some of the others.
. The foliage will have brown streaks in it after the first year. I wish I could remember where I read the virus info so you could get more specifics, but do not.
Donna, might it be Yellow Stripe Virus? Are you planting daffs back in the same areas where the virused ones grew?
Here is a link that might be useful: Summer Daffodil Erlicheer at van bourgendien
I'm going to withhold my van bourgendien comments.... and just say their z3-8 rating might be off and that Brent and Becky has Erlicheer listed as z6-9.
Just to clarify, I didn't mean to imply that these low chill bulbs are only for "people who forgot to plant in fall"... obviously they've been grown for years as perennials in the warmer zones with fall planting and spring blooms.... I wanted to get across that selling them in the spring as 'summer daffodils' is a marketing gimmick aimed at people who see and want blooming daffodils asap and not in another year's time.

Well, I don't like any GMO foods,
but this idea of this lunatic organization Food Democracy Now saying, "...strip judges of their constitutional mandate to protect consumer rights and the environment" is totally ludicrous.
There is NO such mandate, and there never has been such a mandate.
These are just leftists who are "off the chain".

Reconstructed signal. Signal approximation based on the input CWT coefficient matrix, analyzing wavelet, selected scales, and sampling period.
The purpose of the CWT inversion algorithm is not to produce a perfect reconstruction of the input signal. The inversion preserves time and scale-localized features in the reconstructed signal. The amplitude scaling in the reconstructed signal, however, can be significantly different. This difference in scaling can occur whether or not you use all the CWT coefficients in the inversion.

Enable the Reconstructed Signal On/Off radio button in the bottom-left corner.
See [4] for a description of the inverse CWT algorithm for linearly spaced scales. The
icwtlin function uses heuristic scaling
factors for the analyzing wavelets. These scaling factors can result in significant
differences in the amplitude scaling of the reconstructed signal.

This place was amazing! My partner and i both got the chefs choice pf 8 skewers. They were all so good! And ones that i never would have chosen were delicious! The shochu lemon sour was also really good here. We also really enjoyed the piece of mandarin at the end of our meal! The atmosphere was also great. The restaurant is across the road from the family mart but just check the phone number out the front matches the ad. This place is a must do.
