Phosphate bioavailability in soil
I would like to get rid of nettles in my back garden. I have read in various other botanical forums that nettles have a high phosphate demand and grow well in proximity of rubble. I have hoed and cleaned well the soil of all debris. (including rubble) the garden looked a bit like a land fill after years and years of being neglected.
I know I could simply by some weed killer or but I want to do it in a more "green" way.
does any one know how to reduce the bioavailable phosphate in soil?
I have also learned that nettle like a pH between 7-8.
Is there a house remedy to acidify soil like with used coffee or ashes from the bbq or similar?
Thank you.
Wouldn't a real "green" approchbe leaving it as it is?
Please consdier that commercial treatments have EPA consideration and approval of safety, efficacy and environmental fate and impact. You'll probably not have this for ad hoc "green" treatments.
I'm not sure I get what you mean. Should I jet let nettles grow all over my back yard.
Or are you suggesting I just buy weed zapper from sainsbury?
I just want to make clear that I'm talking about an area of less than 10 square meters.
I strongly doubt that the EPA would have any interest in what I do with my back garden.
EPA regulates pesticides - and the point was an EPA-approved pesticide (that means anything sold) has been shown to work and, with directions and cautions, hs satsified EPA re. safety for the user and the environment.
You can try any old wive's stuff or internet miracle rumor in your yard that you want - just be aware you're on your own for efficacy safety and enviromental fate.
Leave your nettles or be as "green" as you'd like to imagine yourself. But that "green" is unlikely to be any better a shade than the effective registered pesticide.
I have worked on an organic farm for several years and have found the cheapest way to acidify your soil would be going to the store and getting a bag of sulfur and distributing it through your soil. This might not sound 'green' but it is indeed organic and lowers pH effectively.
Sulfur amendment is not "organic'" and arguable not green. Here's how one would perform the operation.
http://www.extension.org/pages/13046/ra ... dification
Lowering pH may or may not help - Bruce, do you have any idea what the pH is now? Why do you think lowering the pH (even if high) will help? What pH do you want to establish? What do want to have replace nettles and why do you think that would prefer an acidified soil?
I think this discussion is typical of the uninformed trying to make a green gesture. So many uninformed assumptions.
You must be kiding. We've had plenty of sulphur in the air and soil in Czechoslovakia in past and trust me, that was NOT good for the plants!
Cis or trans? That's what matters.
Hi, I don't know what the Ph is at the moment and I don't have anything in mind at the moment that I would want the see in place of nettles. I don't want to spend any money from shops, and I am not about to buy any sulphur (but thanks for the tip).
I just wanted to get rid of a plant that stings me every time I walk or run on it. And I wanted to have some organic chemistry fun while doing it, since I am a scientist after all (will get my degree in medical microbiology next month). This was going to be a small house gardening experiment. But it seems the only really effective way will probably involve the use good old muscular strength and a hoe.
Thanks any ways.
A relatively efficient way of killing weeds that is quite safe is to use horticultural acetic acid (12% acetic acid) and spray it on leaves. It kills what is above ground and if the nettles have strong roots you might have to re apply until you get rid of them.
Alternatively, a good pair of gloves, to pull as much as you can out, and a thorough shoveling of the area to cut the roots then planting grass and establish a good lawn would probably do the trick. You can enrich in iron (blood meal, or some Fe salts) that limits the growth of dicots (that includes nettles) and helps the growth of monocots like grass.
Science has proof without any certainty. Creationists have certainty without
any proof. (Ashley Montague)

WJJO's Band Camp coming to Janesville airport
JANESVILLE—The vote was unanimous: Rock on.
On Tuesday, the Rock County Board's public works committee approved a contract with Mid-West Management that will allow radio station WJJO to host a concert at the Southern Wisconsin Regional Airport in September. No further approval is needed.
The county will receive $1 for every ticket sold.
Last year, about 10,000 people attended WJJO's Band Camp at Willow Island, adjacent to the Alliant Energy Center in Madison. Headlining acts included Sevendust, Jackyl, Pop Evil, Asking Alexandria and Nonpoint.
Although the airport event will feature similar music and target the same demographic, it will not be called Band Camp, said Randy Hawke, WJJO program manager.
Hawke said he expects about 15 bands to play at the single-day event. Booking will begin immediately, and the names of bands will be announced as soon as contractually possible.
The event is tentatively scheduled for Saturday, Sept. 20.
The concert will be on about 50 acres near Highway 51 in an area that is fenced off from airport runways. The airport will be open during the concert, said Ron Burdick, airport director.
This is the second time Rock County has considered hosting such an event. Last year, the committee killed the idea after Sheriff Bob Spoden expressed concerns about safety and the lack of time to plan.
Supervisor Brent Fox said he supported the concept last year despite reservations of safety officials.
"It's time to take it for a test drive," Fox said.
This year, Mid-West Management approached the county much earlier. Public safety officials have already met with radio station management and staff.
The contract calls for the county to receive a $2,500 deposit and $1 of each ticket sale.
In addition, Mid-West Management is required to contract with the public safety agencies to cover the cost of overtime and any additional officers.
Mid-West Management also must provide $2 million in general liability and insurance coverage.

LG's devotion to providing efficient ductless solutions can be seen across the Multi F line. This wall mounted ductless heat pump system pairs a powerful LMU24CHV outdoor condenser with three wall mounted indoor units from LG's Standard line. An easy installation process and low sound levels mean that this system provides temperature control that doesn't disrupt your home. The well-rounded indoor units feature several convenient operation modes and each includes a wireless remote controller, making it easy for you to enjoy zoned comfort.
Product Features
Inverter Technology
LG's multi-zone outdoor condensers are designed with powerful, efficient inverter technology. An electronic expansion valve and a variable speed condenser compressor carefully regulate the refrigerant flow, reducing energy consumption and allowing for consistent, accurate temperatures without overshooting or short-cycling.
Gold Fin Protection
To ensure the reliability and longevity of the LMU24CHV's heat exchanger, LG employs a Gold Fin coating that prevents corrosion and improves durability.
Low Ambient Operations
Cold temperatures can't slow the Multi F line of outdoor condensers down. This outdoor unit supports cooling operations down to 14 degrees Fahrenheit and heating operations down to -4 degrees Fahrenheit. There is also a defrost feature, which removes frost from the condenser coil in frigid conditions.
Quiet Design
Thanks to a brushless direct current fan motors, both the outdoor and indoor units in this system produce less mechanical and electrical noise, allowing them to provide comfort that doesn't disrupt your home. A twin rotary compressor in the outdoor unit also limits vibration noise and the indoor units feature a cross flow fan design that further reduces sound levels by restricting the surface pressure of airflow.
Air Flow Options
LG's wall mounted multi-zone indoor units give you two options for automating air flow. In swing mode, a unit will rotate through all four air flow directions to ensure consistent comfort in every corner of your room. With the Chaos Wind feature, which cycles both air flow direction and fan speed, you can enjoy a natural circulation pattern in the comfort of your home.
Self-Cleaning Coil
These wall mounted indoor units feature self-cleaning heat exchanger coils that automatically remove dirt and moisture. This helps to prevent unpleasant odors and to combat the formation of mold.
Jet Temperature Control
Getting your zone comfortable quickly is no problem thanks to the Jet Heat and Jet Cool modes available with these indoor units. With the press of a button, your system will temporarily adjust the set point and fan speed of a unit to provide rapid zoned heating or cooling. HSV4 indoor units enjoy Jet Cool functionality while HVT units have both modes available.
Automated Operation
Auto operation mode continually compares your zones' current and desired temperatures and uses that data to intelligently adjust fan speed and refrigerant flow to provide optimal comfort.
Sleep Mode
With the sleep mode and timer functions, you can set the indoor units to save energy at night. Sleep mode will incrementally adjust temperatures for an hour before the timer function automatically deactivates the units. A second timer can bet set to activate the unit in the morning to ensure that your home is the perfect temperature when you wake up.
Improved Air Quality
All of LG's wall mounted multi-zone mini split indoor units keep your air clean with a washable anti-fungal filter. HVT indoor units also include a plasma filtration system that attracts and neutralizes microscopic irritants, while HSV4 units utilize a high air flow 3M Micro Protection Filter for optimal air cleaning.
LG's multi-zone indoor units include a dehumidifying operation mode. In this mode, the units' internal sensors monitor temperature and modify the set point and fan speed to remove moisture from the air.
Hot Start
When the hot start function is enabled on a mini split indoor unit, the fan will not engage until the outdoor condenser has had the opportunity to warm the indoor coil. This prevents the unit from blowing cold air during heating operations.
Product Includes
- (1) LG LMU24CHV Mini Split Outdoor Condenser
- (2) LG LMN078HVT Wall Mounted Heat Pump Mini Split Indoor Units
- (1) LG LSN090HSV4 Wall Mounted Heat Pump Mini Split Indoor Unit
- (3) LG Wireless Remote Controllers
Product Note
Each indoor unit will include any port adapters necessary for multi-zone installation.
This product requires the following accessories for installation:
- Line Set - This double insulated tubing transfers refrigerant efficiently between your outdoor condenser and indoor units.
- Drain Tubing - Drain tubing facilitates the reliable and effective removal of condensate from your system. It connects your indoor units to drain locations of your choosing.
- Disconnect Box & Electrical Whip Kit - The Disconnect Box & Whip Kit provides a safe and simple way to connect your outdoor condenser to your fuse box.
- Connecting Wire - This durable, insulated wire provides power to your indoor units from your outdoor condenser.
- Base Pan Heater - The base pan heater prevents ice from building up on the outdoor unit. Excessive ice build will lead to performance issues and could damage your unit.
- Outdoor Condenser Plastic Pad (Optional) - This pad provides an even surface, free of debris, on which to place your outdoor condenser.
- Wall Bracket (Optional) - A simple and sturdy way to mount your outdoor condenser off of the ground.
Adding these accessories to your order will provide a complete, ready-to-install mini split system.

Janice Peterson: Seven plants that make gardening fun for kids
It's great to get children interested in gardening at a young age. As planting season is almost upon us consider a few fun plants to grow with youngsters. Here are some of my favorites:
Pretzel bean (Vigna unguiculata): This cowpea pod grows in crazy curves like a pretzel. I found children liked to hold them up and peer through like opera glasses. They are also edible and easy to grow. Their long vines need support from a trellis or a fence. The seeds can be sown directly into the ground.
Tennesee Spinner gourd (Cucurbita pepo): These small 3" bottle-shaped striped gourds were used like a spinning top by children years ago. I've grown these and it really works! Gourds grow on long vines so they'll need some ground space or support. Actually, almost any gourd is fun to grow with kids. The neat thing is they can allow the gourds to dry and they can keep them forever. There are many neat gourd craft projects that are perfect to do with children.
Husk Cherry (Physalis sp.): Also called ground cherry, these are fun to eat right off the vine. They are related to tomatoes and have a papery husk like a tomatillo. Kids (and adults!) love to unwrap the husks and eat the sweet fruit inside. These are super easy to grow.
Cherry tomatoes: I always keep cherry tomatoes near a door so I can pop one in my mouth as I walk past. Children think this is amazing to do, and it's a great way to get them to eat their vegetables. Cherry tomatoes grow well in a large pot, too. If their growth starts to get out of hand just prune them back. I love the idea of having vegetables in the garden that children can eat right off the vine. Beans and peas are other good choices.
Sunflower house: If you can spare some ground space this can be really cool. Plant sunflower seeds in a six foot square, leaving an opening to enter. When the plants are nearly full grown make a roof by tying flower heads together. I've never done this but I'd love to spend an afternoon inside one!
Snapdragons: I always grow snapdragons because it's fun to make them talk. My children suffered their entire childhoods because I could not pass a snapdragon without doing this. For some reason my snapdragons talk like Chicago gangsters.
Nasturiums: These are easy to grow, their large seeds can be directly seeded outdoors, and they're edible. Imagine a child's surprise when you put one of the flowers into a salad! The flavor is pretty spicy so a little goes a long way.
It's important to be careful about pesticide use if plants are going to be eaten. Also, children need to be taught which plants are safe to eat and that all other plants are off limits. These are just a few of the fun and easy plants to grow with children. I'd love to hear other suggestions about cool plants to grow with kids!

Verona sweeps Parker tennis
VERONA--The Janesville Parker girls tennis team hoped that a postponement might help it turn things around against Verona.
The Wildcats had other ideas on Monday, however, as they swept the Vikings 7-0 in a Big Eight event that was postponed mid-match by rain on Thurday.
"Most of the matches were (postponed) in the second set," Parker coach Justin Long said. "There aren't too many times you get to finish a match like that. We tried to stress that it was a new day, but it just didn't work out that way."
Meghann Hoag lost her first match at No. 2 singles, a 6-1, 7-5, loss to Greta Schmitz.
"We just missed our opportunities," Long said. "We've got to be aggressive every point."
Parker returns to the court to host Sun Prairie today.
Singles—Anna Hadjiev (V) def. Becky Harmata, 6-2, 6-4; Greta Schmitz (V) def. Meghann Hoag, 6-1, 7-5; Lauren Supanich (V) def. Constance Beyer, 6-0, 6-0; Ashley Griffin (V) def. Becky Sodemann, 6-1, 6-3.
Doubles—Stephanie Keryluk-Marissa Wilson (V) def. Elizabeth Severance-Rosalie Stellman, 6-0, 6-0; Kaela Amundson-Genna Sticha (V) def. Heather Bailey-Joey Turner, 6-2, 6-3; Rachel Nachreiner-Caryn Wong (V) def. Anastasia Schoon-Karly Stowers, 6-2, 6-1.
JV—Verona 7, Parker 0.

JANESVILLE—A boy told police he had sexual contact with a Janesville man more than once a day, on average, for nearly seven months before the man was arrested last week, according to a criminal complaint.
Kenneth K. Kimpel, 48, of 468 W. Delavan Drive, Janesville, is charged in Rock County Court with repeated sexual assault of a child and child enticement.
The combined maximum prison terms for those crimes are 65 years.
The 14-year-old told authorities the assaults began in late July 2013 in a makeshift bedroom in a detached garage at the Delavan Drive address where Kimpel lived, according to the criminal complaint.
The boy told police the assaults began after Kimpel hired him to do yard work, according to the criminal complaint.

Is this review helpful? Yes
Great experience all around. Fast and friendly and the watch arrived in absolutely perfect condition.
My experience with the Swiss Watch Expo team was superb and I am recommending them to all of my friends looking to either buy a watch or sell their watch. I happened to be in Atlanta for a guys weekend recently, staying at the W hotel in Buckhead. I was looking to sell my Cartier Santos watch and potentially upgrade to a new one. Swiss Watch Expo came up as being located close to the hotel so I decided to swing by after exploring the new Buckhead Atlanta development. This was my first time in Atlanta and the store, so I didn't know what to expect. I was amazed at the huge selection of inventory as soon as I walked in, they have a very large selection of Patek, Cartier and Rolex watches and apparently they are all pre-owned although they all look new. I showed them my Cartier and after taking the watch to the back for review, they offered me a fair price and gave me a check on the spot. The team is super professional and the whole experience was just very pleasant. It's a one of a kind store with a much larger selection of pre-owned watches than I have ever seen elsewhere. I look forward to buying a watch from them in the future.
My wife purchased a Bedat watch here several months ago. It started running a little fast so we took it in to have it checked. They were extremely helpful and were able to fix it in less than 20 minutes. They also educated us on what the issue was in case it happened again. Outstanding customer service. We will def purchase from them again.
Exceptional experience both thru email and in person in their store..which has the most fantastic selection per square feet I have seen. Victoria and Gerry were friendly, knowledgeable and professional from start to finish. Definitely would recommend SWE and you can deal with them in confidence! A+A+A+
I brought my vintage Rolex Oyster Perpetual in to have the crystal replaced, a general tune up, and to have a new band put on. I was very pleased with the service and price, and won't hesitate to return. They also had a great selection of pre owned time pieces as well!
Great price, good serivice and excellent condition......Over delivered
Customer service and support was exceptional. First time purchase and I will definitely recommend Swiss Watch Expo and will make my next watch purchase with them. My Breitling arrived as described. The band was small and when I called they sent me a link at n/c. When I called to inquire about the link they made sure everything was correct with my purchase and made sure I understood all of the watch features. Tremendous experience. We'll Done !
I would definitely recommend Swiss Watch Expo as they provide great watches at competitive prices. Delivery was fast and customer service was top notch as well!
Outstanding service, trustworthy and honest!Nice people who care about their clients.I would recommend them without hesitation whatsoever.
Beautiful watch exactly as described! Looking forward to our next transaction.
Great service.
Swiss watch expo impressed me with their professionalism. I bought a beautiful Datejust on an oyster bracelet but decided that I didn't like the dial. There was nothing wrong with it at all, I just preferred a different color. That being said, I emailed them within 1 week of purchase and they agreed to refund my purchase minus the restocking fee of 3% in accord with their written policy. Note: I charged the watch to credit so they impose a 3% restocking fee which they disclosed to me up front before the purchase. Anyway, they did not ask me why I was returning the watch or try to discourage me from returning it. Instead, they offered me prompt instructions on how to return it and issued my credit card a refund within 48 hours. They are a quality company and I will do business with them again if I ever need a high end timepiece. Thank you for your great customer service Gerry and SWE.
Great transaction....thanks again
This item was not ordered by me, but has been resolved. Thank you
Knowledgeable staff. Easy transaction. Quick delivery. Would buy again from SwissWatchExpo with no reservation.
What more can I say than Outstanding. The website is great, the staff even better than the best. My watch arrived on time and packaged in 3 different FedEx boxes/ envelopes. The attention to detail shows real love of the product they sell. Best of all my Rolex looks like it came from the factory. Go NO where else, you have arrived.

First time at buying a Rolex watch.......WOW!!!! what a great experience, the customer service was fantastic, as soon as I purchased the watch on line I immediately got a call from them. They took the time to explain to me about the watch, how to wind it, set the time and how to care for it. They wanted a copy of my drivers license for security purposes and I thought that was great. I would highly recommend them to anyone.
EXCELLENT CUSTOMER SERVICE AND SPEEDY DELIVERY. Very pleased the time piece I ordered, and appreciate the help I received from Blake, who did everything he said he was going to do- Ordered on a Wednesday and received before 10:30 am the following day via FedEx.

Thank you so much, ***
I bought my husband an IWC Ingenieur as a wedding present. I know nothing about watches and Gerry was incredibly helpful and patient with my many questions. They are honest, reliable and have great pricing. My husband (whom actually knows about watches) loves it and said that it was everything that he could have hoped for. I would highly recommend Swiss Watch Expo and plan on returning to them in the future.

I was more than a little nervous about purchasing a watch online, but I found the exact model I was looking for at a decent price. I talked to a few people on the staff before I decided to take the plunge, and they were all extremely helpful and answered all my questions. Once I got my watch from the FedEx guy, it looked even better than I expected. The pictures of the watch online were very detailed and accurate. My watch arrived on time, exactly as shown and described, in great packaging. Everyone treated me very well, and made the transaction easy from start to finish. I'm sure my next watch will come from SwissWatchExpo!
Item as described.
Great customer service. Beautiful watch! Everything as described.
EXCELLENT! Featured Tudor Submariner on my Youtube channel "The Urban Gentry" A+
I purchased 2 used Breguet watches from Swiss Watch Expo. I was not too happy with the first one, so I returned it and they gave me a full prompt refund. The second watch was exquisite and elegant, so I kept it.
This company has a 100 % e-bay feedback rating, and I can see why.
Very Pleased for the product, warranty, assistance from day one Swiss Watch Expo has been great!!! Not to mention my husband is happy with his gift.
Good job!
Fantastic people to work with. They answered all my questions, send additional photos and responded extremely fast....even at night and on the weekend. Watch came exactly as described and in a very timely manor. I cant say enough about the business professionalism and due diligence this company provided to its customers. I will certainly buy from them again in the future and have recommended them to all my friends. Swiss Watch Expo is the only place I will shop for my next luxury purchase.
Excellent communication, excellent prices, and excellent delivery. I could not ask for anything more from this company. I bought 2 Rolex's from them (his and hers). It was my first time ordering from them, but based on their reviews, I felt confident. I am glad I did and will be a repeat customer.
Excellent seller, super sonic shipping, will buy again!! A++++++
Like many other buyers out there I was extremely skeptical.
They promise a 7 days exchange if I had any type of problems. That sealed the deal and Im so happy that I purchases my Rolex explorer.
They even added an extra link without additional charges.
I took the watch to a friend who is in the jewelry business to examine and make sure its a real Rolex.
I have a real Rolex and its beautiful
Thanks guys
Great outfit!
especially when it comes to warranty !
I had an exceptional experience buying a watch through their website. I contacted them about the availability of the watch and was informed that paying via bank transfer would reduce the amount owed by even more than was quoted on the site. The bank transfer went through the next day and the watch was shipped that day. It was in exactly the condition advertised, and is now a prized part of my collection.
Everything this seller claimed was delivered by
Item came as advertised. quick delivery
love the watch and survice
The watch arrived in time and great condition. It looks almost like new. Gerry was very helpful answering my questions over the phone.
Awesome! Thanks so much

WOW unbelievable condition, just as you stated, not one visible scratch, looks brand new. ...M?sGerry good day I received the Submariner watch as ordered.

I googled a lot of Rolex watch suppliers and I found that SWE did the best job of describing and showing their watches.
Eric was very helpful and knowledgeable which made my purchase very pleasant.
I would recommend SWE to my friends.
First rate Ebay dealer!! Would recommend to anyone. A+++
I switched from buying a recent vintage Rolex GMT II from a local dealer to working with SwissWatchExpo. My interaction with *** and *** was filled with warmth, confidence, and professionalism.
Really know their stuff, and didn't try to talk down to me (I know my stuff, too...).
Very happy with the delivery and quality!! Interestingly, the watch was slightly short, and rather than give me a hard time about it, or charging me, ... they sent me an additional link for n/c. That's customer service, and THAT'S what brings people back again.
Strong performance in this deal, guys! Great deal!
Looking for a new Omega Seamaster James Bond Midsize 300m Watch and SwissWatchExpo has the best selection and deals in Atlanta.
First, let me tell you how pleasant it is to deal with professionals, and I don't use that word lightly. As a physician, I really ASSUME honesty with I deal with people, and it's so often betrayed. With this kind of a purchase . . . I 'm buying the business's integrity and reputation almost as much as the watch, itself. In this purchase over the past week, I've been treated by you and your entire staff with an amazing dedication to customer service..
Can't believe how beautiful my new Pepsi-bezel GMT Master II turned out to be, when I opened the box and found this "pre-owned" watch looking like it came from Rolex!! NOT overpolished, and still with crisp edges, but ... just terrific!
Gerry was VERY professional, and ultimately, my choice came down to which company I wanted to trust with $6000, wired to someone I've never met. My heart was happy to receive my watch in 2 days.
I also enjoyed hearing the confident expertise from Michael, explaining the subtle differences between this watch, and a similar one on another site. - - NO badmouthing of the other vendor, and simply came down to which style did I like.
I'd definitely buy from them again, ... and probably WILL! Thanks, Michael and Gerry!
Great experience. Thanks!!!
great communication, great watch
Gerry was very friendly, courteous and efficient addressed my purchase. I would def recommend you folks to others!
Great to do business with. A+++
Just as described. Perfect
Excellent purchase experience. Item arrived as described with no issues.
Very fair and honest
nice watch!! Seller was excellent from description to shipping.
I would recommend you to others. I thought your prices and polices were generous and fair. And, your customer service rep was awesome!
Have purchased two watches from Swiss Watch Expo over the span of 2+ years, one in person and one over the internet / phone. Both experiences were excellent and I couldn't be more pleased with both the quality of the watches as well as the level of customer service. Thank you Victoria and team!
The service was great. My bracelet was too small. When I called about it, I was sent two more links right away. The service was also very fast. I received my watch two days after ordering it. It was fun to find a Rolex I could afford.
Excellent watch & customer service - Recommend! A+++++
Very honest! Great people who really care about their clients and the products they sell. Everything is represented online and very easy to contact and talk with them. They pick up their phones and talk to customers!
Great business!
Item as described. Prompt shipping, good customer service, excellent seller.
Thank you excellent seller

Battery died within days, but seller replaced battery and paid shipping both ways... After I complained about shipping cost. I liked the watch so I purchased a second directly from their website. They don't warn you in advance that when you pay by credit card they are going to call or email you and ask for a picture of your credit card and a picture of your drivers license to be emailed to them so they can make sure you're not using a stolen card. I did not think it was a good idea to send pictures of my IDs through unsecured email but I really didn't have much choice at that point. I didn't like feeling like a criminal though.
Bought three watches totaling $44k. The proceeds from front end to receiving the watch is outstanding. Wish they offer better pricing for those buying certain $$ thresholds like myself.
Just as advertised. Excellent seller.
Victoria is Watch God... Very Helpful, I told here exactly what I wanted and she helped me with every Question I had from A-Z.. Very Knowledgeable....2 Thumbs Up...Thanks for Your Help on my My 18K President Rolex.....
I found your service very accommodating. When I had questions about the watch I purchased you had the answers and more. I am very pleased with my purchase and since I enjoy different watches I will probably be a return customer. By the way the Price was Right . .
Good transaction
5 Stars across the board, great seller. Quick shipment. Will do biz again.
These guys are great. I was doing last minute gift shopping for my wife and found a beautiful watch for her. Being that i needed the watch the next day and I was buying a watch online, I was a bit nervous. Everything was done very professionally and I got the watch as described, excellent condition, on time. Unfortunately, my wife was not in love with it. SWE happily took the watch back. My wife and I spent a week looking at watches and SWE was great through the entire process, they answered all our questions quickly and sent us pictures for side by side comparison of different watches. We ended up with a watch she loves and it also arrived in excellent condition. We are very happy and will by my next watch here.
Great purchase,and at a very fair price!!
Simply brilliant...excellent service..super eBay seller..totally recommend..
Swiss Watch Expo is a great place to purchase pre owned watch, some are even unworn, Victoria was great assisting me with what i was looking for. If you want the real deal authentic quality watch, for under retail this is the place.
I was looking for a pristine Rolex Yachmaster ll and Gerry hellped me amazingly!.....for the first time doing business with this company, and for that much money, I was naturally nervous.....the customer service I recieved from Gerry was flawless and very professional.....I would do business with him again!....the watch is flawless, my retirement gift to myself, and I couldn't be more proud or pleased.....I would reccommend Swiss Watch to anyone! thank you, ***
Swiss Watch Expo a pleasure to deal with. Transaction went very smooth and quick without any issues that needs to be resolved. Matt was very helpful and knowledgable with Rolexes.
Great deal and customer service. Would definitely be confident purchasing from again if I needed a high-end watch!
Great product....Thank You!
This is the second Rolex I have purchased from SWE. I was very leery of the first transaction 1 year ago - had a friend in Atlanta visit the store as a "secret shopper" to check it out for me. Everything looked good, so I wired funds and the watch showed up at my office (in Pennsylvania) the next day. Exactly as they described it, looked brand new (GMT Master II - about 20 years old).
Just bought a Rolex Explorer II last week - same story. Watch showed up on time, was described perfectly and looks brand new. Pricing within a $100 of several other dealers on the internet, a difference I am happy to pay for superior service.
Purchase two watches, one in person and one over the phone. Great people and easy to work with, thank you!
Walked in today and got an amazingly quick service!
I jumped in the pool with my Breitling new watch and the glass started getting foggy, so when i went to see SwissWatchExpo , they immediately opened the watch and fixed it from being damaged from water intrusion.
And because i'm an existing customer, they did charge me at all! so it was all FREE, i'm definitely recommending this place to anyone who want elite watch with elite service!!!
Excellent, beautiful and a glowing new owner!!! Great Company to work with!
I purchased a Rolex from Matt Robertson for myself for Christmas.I been so happy and content with my Watch.He was very kind and the whole Deal was smooth and very Professional.I am so Pleased.Thank you,Matt.Warmly Helga-Carmel,Cal.
Perfect transaction in every respect.
Product as advertised, courteous staff and fast delivery. Thank you.
I recently purchased a wonderful watch at Swiss Watch Expo in Atlanta, Georgia. The experience was very professional and Victoria was excellent in her breadth of knowledge and ability to facilitate the transaction. I recommend anyone looking for great used watches on the high-end scale to visit their web site.
Great experience with Victoria and Jacob. I came in with an idea of what I was looking for and Victoria walked me through different pieces highlighting different style features to help identify the perfect gift.
Great communication. Fast shipping. A-1 Seller. Thank you very much
Great Customer service. I changed my mind on the first watch I chose and the exchange process was very smooth. The two Cust Service Reps did a great job at helping me choose the new watch and following up on the exchange process. Both watches I got to see were in mint condition. Strongly recommended, will buy again.
Incredible service.
I was extremely happy with the service I received from Swiss Watch Expo. They found the specific limited edition Omega watch that I had been looking for and sold it to me for a very reasonable price. It was 10 years old but still in mint condition with it's original box and paperwork.
Blake, the salesman notified me when they found the watch and was very professional throughout the entire transaction. I will definitely contact Swiss Watch Expo whenever I am looking for a quality watch.
Great Deal !!!!!! Great Transaction !!!!!! Great Service !!!!!! Fast Shipping !
Thank you!! Fast shipping!! Watch was 100% Authentic. Checked by Omega.
I wish all my transactions were as pleasant as this one . Finally found an honest company to deal with. They actually were happy to help me , answering all my questions and concerns . I will definitely recommend them to all my friends and family ! They delivered what they promised . Jim M . Fort Myers , Fl.
Excellent service through the sale process. Scuffs on watch case back were not sufficiently disclosed, but easily buffed out by a local watch servicer. For 5-digit purchase, there was no follow up subsequent to sale prior to this feedback request.
Wire transferred the money. Wait two days and Voila!!, a beautiful (like new), datejust Rolex, perfectly packed in my door. I highly recommend SwissWatchExpo.

Very satisfied customer the watch was described exactly as they said it was very positive buying experience will buy from them again in the future
A very pleasant experience. High quality merchandise. Gerry was extremely helpful. Highly recommended.

Until now I never spent more than $600-700 on a sight-unseen/online purchase (typically electronics), so you can imagine my reluctance to spend $15,000. I researched the value of the watch (Rolex) and determined it was a very good value. More importantly, I also extensively researched the vendor (SWE) and felt even more comfortable knowing they have an actual store in Atlanta. As well, their web-site has excellent and extensive clear, sharp photos and info of the actual watch... far superior to any of their competitors that I shopped. After a few conversations with Victoria & Blake, I had no further hesitation and "closed the deal" online. In less than 24 hours, I received the watch by FedEx. My wife is ecstatic with what looks like a brand new watch, and I am delighted with the cost and service. No catches or surprises other than a VERY smooth process. I will also point out that I have not received any request nor any compensation or discount for this review. I am just a happy customer and want to share my delight!
Thank you for a wonderful watch. Cant wait for my next my next purchase from you
I just received my omega and am loving it! I brought it to my watch guy
and he was really impressed with the watch. It is flawless. It runs up to omega standards and is exactly what was advertised.The customer service was accommodating and friendly. Thanks SWE!
Gerry Irons was helpful describing the Rolex watch I was interested in. His descriptions were clear and he answered my questions appropriately. When the watch was delivered promptly by FedEx, it was exactly as described by *** and on your website. I am pleased and satisfied thus far. Your service, correspondence, packing and delivery met and exceeded expectations.

A++++ Outstanding condition, exactly as described. Very quick shipping.
If you are in the market for a high end watch you must come here!! The staff is extremely friendly and helpful. I have never been to a place with such happy people wanting to help. Swiss Watch Expo has a ton of watches in there showroom ready for purchase. I have never seen a location with this many Rolex watches. My wife bought my Rolex from here about 3 months ago and I wanted to come check it out for myself. I was amazed. The selection was the best I have ever seen. The best part is there prices!!! I was not able to find a watch for a better price then what they had. All of there Rolex watches are torn down and serviced. They go through ever piece to make sure it is 100% authentic. I can not wait to come by another Rolex from them.

Another great transaction with Swiss Watch Expo. Victoria was a pleasure to deal with. My Sub was repaired quickly and to my satisfaction. It's the second time that I've had a watch repaired by the onsite watch expert.
They have an extensive selection of great watches.....better be focused, or you'll walk out with a new treasure! Based upon my experience, I'd gladly recommend them for repairs or the purchase of a quality watch.
I was interested in trading in my Cartier timepiece for one I admired on the Swiss Watch Expo website. Gerry, my Sales Consultant made the process seamless, sending a prepaid shipping label to mail my watch for appraisal to Atlanta. Upon receipt, they offered a fair price for my watch and applied that to a beautiful new model. Gerry also went out of his way to rush delivery to me in California. The watch arrived in mint condition as promised and shown on their website. I will wear and enjoy this watch for many years to come and would recommend Swiss Watch Expo to anyone looking to make a fine jewelry purchase - even from 3,000 miles away as I did! I am a very pleased customer.

beautifully packaged. extremely well protected
fantastic watch 😆 5 stars rating⌚
I purchased a vintage Rolex Oyster Perpetual Date and I couldn't be more pleased! I dealt with *** on the phone and via email, and he was extremely helpful. Answered all my questions completely and accurately, and even emailed me additional photos to help me make a decision. The watch is great... exactly as described and it is keeping perfect time. This is my second purchase from SwissWatchExpo (first one was great as well), and it probably won't be my last! You have a first class operation.

My mom has the same cough. Has had it since she got this disease. Had her lungs checked at nothing found. We thought it was part of her cancer and it is not. Could be Sarcoidosis. You may want to go to a pulmonary specialist. This disease masks as Sarcoid with non-caseating granulomas.
About the link: Some may feel it is relevant. Everyone here is saying that our government has done this to us under some conspiracy theory ( Chem trails and all) and that we have to bring this case to court against them.
Well my link showed them they are correct. The Luminaties are doing this to us! How did you not see the connection?
This is how I feel when I read some of these posts. That site I linked to made just as much sense as the rambling I hear sometimes. But my post was removed and it made just as much sense as what is written here.
How unfair to me. I can be called a dis-information person and that gets to stay on here but my post to a government conspiracy is removed????
Why?????????Hum?????? Please have the post falsey accusing me removed at once!

Randy thanks for the info, but re. Sarcoidosis my Vit D levels are normal, and I got rid of the cough, but...
I do seem to have been exposed to Chlamidia Pneumoniae.
According to a doctor UK side this is common to 90% of his Lyme and CFS
The same doctor looked at my blood with his microscope, which was connected to his Laptop,and showed me the resulting "show" and I can reasonably say that my blood is not sterile.
It was pointed out to me that it contained Coccoid Bacteria and Giant Forms.
Returning to the BT debate,and the fact that this organism is the only one that is allowed to be used on organic crops as a pesticide here in the UK makes me think that this might be a common denominator....for
many years Ihave eaten only organic fruit and vegetables.
Here are more images of my version of this infection
With Respect,
Super bug in this sense is just a common way to refer to insects that cannot be killed by insectcides. Which is a real concern with the widespread use of Bt. But this will not make the said insect any different or more dangerous for you or me.
About discrimination of relevant info on internet, that is exactly why a search engine will never replace a basic lesson. I would try to read some books on biology to start. You can find some for free on the net here. Those book are good ones. But you have to read them online, and the navigation is not excellent. But you can probbaly find them in a good library (try to find used)

Is CDC covering up skyrocketing TB rate?
Insiders say center trying to 'cook the books,' 'spin the numbers'
Posted: March 19, 2005
1:00 a.m. Eastern
Editor's note: Joseph Farah's G2 Bulletin is an online, subscription intelligence news service from the creator of WorldNetDaily.com – a journalist who has been developing sources around the world for almost 30 years.
© 2005 WorldNetDaily.com
WASHINGTON – The Centers for Disease Control is trying to "cook the books" and "spin the numbers" in a new report that downplays the spread of tuberculosis in the U.S., insiders within the Atlanta-based U.S. agency tell the premium, online intelligence newsletter Joseph Farah's G2 Bulletin.
The CDC released a report today portraying a serious TB threat worldwide and a declining disease rate within the U.S. But the CDC, say insiders, is not coming clean on the increasing domestic threat, largely posed by dramatic population increases in recent years by illegal immigrants.
More than one-third of the global population is infected with the tuberculosis bacterium, and TB disease remains one of the world's leading causes of disease and death, the CDC says. Each year, 8 million people become ill with TB, and 2 million people die from the disease.
In fact, next Thursday, March 24, is World TB Day, marking the date in 1882 that scientist Robert Koch announced his discovery of the TB bacterium. The World Health Organization now uses the annual day as an international call to action against the disease.
The CDC report emphasized the latest national surveillance data show a significant, but slowing, decline in the case rate of TB. In 2004, a total of 14,511 TB cases were reported in the U.S. The overall TB case rate – 4.9 per 100,000 persons – was the lowest rate ever recorded since reporting began in 1953. However, the decline in the case rate from 2003 to 2004 was one of the smallest in more than a decade (3.3 percent compared with an average of 6.8 percent per year), the CDC acknowledged.
The agency also said that "despite the nationwide downward trend, TB continues to exact a severe toll on many U.S. communities. Seven states now bear more than half the total burden of TB disease in the U.S. California, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, New Jersey, New York, and Texas account for 59.9 percent of the national case total. The toll continues to be greatest among minority and foreign-born individuals, who consistently have higher rates of TB disease.
But CDC sources say the report is a reflection of "political correctness" inside the agency – a political effort to whitewash what some health officials see as an alarming new threat of TB's spread largely by illegal foreign immigrants.
"When you acknowledge, as the CDC has, that one-third of the world's population is carrying this bacterium and you admit that we have some 20 million foreigners inside this country largely unaccounted for, you begin to understand the threat," said one G2 Bulletin source. "It's serious. And the facts are being withheld from the American people because of political correctness toward the question of illegal immigration."
The CDC does offer some interesting statistics in its report:
In 2004, minority populations had rates of TB significantly higher than the overall U.S. average. The 2004 TB case rate among Asians was 20 times higher than that among whites (26.9/100,000 and 1.3/100,000, respectively), while blacks (11.1/100,000) and Hispanics (10.1/100,000) each had rates eight times higher than whites.
In 2004, for the first time, there were more cases of TB among Hispanics than any other ethnic group. However, the TB rate among Hispanics decreased slightly from 10.3 in 2003 to 10.1 in 2004. This divergent trend was the result of a 3.6 percent increase in the U.S. Hispanic population between 2003 and 2004.
The TB rate among foreign-born individuals (22.5/100,000) was nearly nine times the rate among persons born in the United States (2.6/100,000). Individuals born outside the United States accounted for more than half (7,701 cases, or 53.7 percent) of all new TB cases in 2004.
While the TB rate among U.S-born persons has declined 64.6 percent over the past 12 years, the rate among foreign-born persons has declined only 33.9 percent.
Ninety-five percent of Asians reported to have TB in the U.S. in 2004 were foreign-born. Foreign-born individuals also accounted for the majority – 74 percent – of cases among Hispanics in the U.S. Globally, Asia accounts for the largest number of TB cases. The impact of TB on Mexico is also worrisome because many Hispanics diagnosed with TB in the U.S. were born in that country.
"Even though preventable and treatable, TB remains a serious airborne disease – one with the ability to adapt, grow stronger, and travel from one country to another as easily as people do," said the report. "The health threat must continue to be taken seriously, both here in the U.S. and abroad."
The CDC also acknowledged the border problems by suggesting the agency was attempting to address them by strengthening "global partnerships to address TB among populations hardest-hit by the disease."
"These efforts include improving overseas screening for immigrants and refugees, and testing recent arrivals from high-incidence countries for latent TB infection," the report said. "CDC is also improving the notification system that alerts local health departments about the arrival of immigrants who are known or believed to have TB, and collaborating with public health teams in Mexico to improve TB control among those who frequently cross the U.S.-Mexico border."
Last week, a report in the Journal of American Physicians and Surgeons blew the whistle on the way illegal immigration is threatening to destroy America's prized health-care system.
"The influx of illegal aliens has serious hidden medical consequences," writes Madeleine Pelner Cosman, author of the report. "We judge reality primarily by what we see. But what we do not see can be more dangerous, more expensive, and more deadly than what is seen."
According to her study, 84 California hospitals are closing their doors as a direct result of the rising number of illegal aliens and their non-reimbursed tax on the system.
In addition, the report says, "many illegal aliens harbor fatal diseases that American medicine fought and vanquished long ago, such as drug-resistant tuberculosis, malaria, leprosy, plague, polio, dengue, and Chagas disease."

"What the Medical Establishment
Refuses to Consider
Bacteria: The Ultimate Cause of Cancer?
By Alan Cantwell, Jr., M.D.
As a physician-dermatologist I have studied various aspects of the cancer microbe for over 30 years. In my book, The Cancer Microbe (Aries Rising Press, 1990), I recount a century of research by various scientists who have documented the reality and importance of bacteria associated with cancer. Despite a wealth of information on the microbiology of cancer, this body of work has been largely ignored.
Why would medical science overlook the finding of bacterial elements in cancer, particularly when the treatment of advanced cancer is often abysmal and when the cause (or causes) of many types of cancer remain unknown? If and when the bacterial cause of cancer is widely accepted, it will be left to medical historians to determine why the medical community failed to recognise cancer bacteria. At the present time, it is fair to say that most physicians are either unaware of cancer microbe research, or ignore the published findings, or are openly hostile to this research.
Unfortunately, medical doctors are limited by dogma about cancer-associated bacteria that eliminated a bacterial cause for cancer a century ago. In the late nineteenth century, when the bacterial cause of many infectious diseases was discovered, it was decided that cancer did not act like an infectious or contagious disease, and therefore it was concluded that bacteria were not causative." ....."
..."Yet another modern example of dogma-defying research is provided by recent studies proving that bacteria (Helicobacter pylori) are a common cause of stomach ulcers, which can eventually lead to stomach cancer and lymphoma. When I went to medical school, stomach ulcers were thought to be due to stress, lifestyle, or improper diet, and it was not uncommon to send ulcer patients to psychiatrists for analysis.
For a century, physicians refused to believe that bacteria could cause ulcers because they thought bacteria could not live in the acid environment of the stomach. In 1982 a researcher, who was unable to convince his colleagues that bacteria could cause ulcers and gastritis, actually proved his case by drinking a culture of H. pylori. When he rapidly became ill with stomach symptoms, he admitted himself to the hospital where these bacteria were found to be associated with his gastric disease. It also turned out that these bacteria could indeed be detected in the stomach lining of stomach ulcers, but only when the tissue was stained in a special way to detect the bacteria. The CDC now claims that H. pylori causes more than 90% of duodenal ulcers and 80% of gastric ulcers. Approximately two-thirds of the world's population is infected with these microbes."...
..."One perennial complaint about the so-called cancer microbe is that is pleomorphic. For some reason, the idea that a proposed cancer germ could have more than one form is a threat to doctors and some microbiologists. Indeed the cancer germ has been described as having a virus like and fungus-like, as well as mycoplasma-like phase. Such a "life cycle" is deemed nonsense and microbiologic heresy.
The many guises of the pleomorphic cancer microbe was studied extensively in the 1960s and 70s by four remarkable women scientists: Virginia Livingston (a physician); Eleanor Alexander-Jackson (a microbiologist); Irene Diller (a cytologist); and Florence Seibert, a chemist, tuberculosis expert, and inventor of the tuberculin skin test. Their individual and collaborative studies are essential reading to understand the proposed microbiology of cancer."...
"In all its many forms the tuberculosis microbe is certainly pleomorphic. (See the work of mycoplasma expert Lida H. Mattman.) The bacteria that cause TB are known as "mycobacteria". Some forms of the bacillus are round "coccoid" forms; other forms are more typically "acid-fast" and "rod" forms. All mycobacteria form a phylogenetic link or bridge between the bacteria and the "higher" fungi. "Myco" is Greek for fungus. Ergo, myco-bacteria.
Under appropriate conditions, bacteria can lose their cell wall and become amorphous, smaller, highly pleomorphic "cell-wall deficient forms." Under suitable conditions, mycoplasma can enlarge to giant-sized forms ("Large bodies") resembling fungal and spore-like forms. It is vital to be aware of and to recognise such unusual and hard-to-detect forms in tissue microscopic sections because, in my experience, this mycoplasmal form is the form the cancer microbe takes inside the body in human disease. Due to their small size, Mycobacteria form a bridge between (larger) bacteria and smaller) viruses. Microbiologists love to separate (and classify) viruses, bacteria, mycoplasma, and fungi, as distinct entities. In fact, there is interplay between all of them. It is well-known that bacteria can be infected with viruses. Nevertheless, scientists cannot seem to understand how microbes can change into virus-like, mycoplasma-like and fungus-like infectious agents."...
..."For many years I identified cancer microbes in a variety of disease states. In The Cancer Microbe, I show photomicrographs of cancer microbes in "autoimmune" diseases such as scleroderma, in AIDS-related Kaposi's sarcoma, in enlarged lymph nodes in AIDS, in breast cancer, in lymphoma and Hodgkin's disease, in a lung disease called interstitial pneumonitis, in sarcoidosis, in an immunoblastic sarcoma and even in a skin cancer.
Not everyone who becomes infected with TB germs develops clinical tuberculosis. People can harbour the TB germ without ever becoming ill. The same is true for cancer microbes. Not everyone who carries them develops cancer.
According to Virginia Livingston, the microbe is "ubliquitous." It is found in various disease states and also can be found normally. This is a difficult for some medical doctors to believe because of the idea that an infectious agent must always infect. Livingston infuriated the scientific establishment by naming the cancer microbe "Progenitor cryptocides" – meaning "hidden killer"). She claimed the microbe was present in every cell. Due to its biochemical peculiarities, the organism was responsible for initiating life and for healing of tissue; and was the microbe ultimately responsible for eventual degeneration and death of all life. Such ideas, of course, are at odds with medical thought. However, my own studies have suggested that the cancer microbe is indeed ubiquitous and indestructible, which is further reason why it should be taken seriously, particularly in diseases that are poorly understood, like cancer and "diseases of unknown etiology."
Most importantly, cancer microbes are significant because they can be identified in the cancerous tissue in various forms of cancer. A few of these microbes can be seen in "normal" tissue, but strikingly larger numbers can be seen in the areas of the tumour. These microbes can be identified in "pre-cancerous" conditions, suggesting that these germs are present before the actual induction of the cancer. Furthermore, when cancer is "cured" by radiation and chemotherapy, the microbe can still be found in the damaged, previously cancerous areas.
The reason we cannot "cure" cancer is that we cannot stop the destruction caused by these "hidden" and "unrecognised" bacterial elements. The reason antibiotics do not work well in cancer is because the microbes (in the mycoplasmal phase inside the body) are not susceptible to antibiotics.
In cancer research, there is controversy as to whether cancer is one disease or many. For instance, could breast cancer and lung cancer and prostate cancer all be caused by the same agent. This would be deemed highly improbable, but if cancer microbes were shown to be associated with all three forms of cancer, the possibility that all three kinds of cancer might be related becomes more possible.
When Livingston and colleagues injected cancer microbes into animals and chickens, some developed cancer, some developed degenerative and proliferative diseases, and some developed nothing of note. Apparently the individual "immunity" of the host was an important factor in terms of what response the cancer microbe would elicit.
Tuberculosis infection can affect many parts of the body. Tuberculosis confined to the skin is very different disease when compared to TB of the lung or of the bone. Yet, all three manifestations of the disease are linked together because the TB germ can be found in all three. If cancer microbes are indeed proven as infectious agents in cancer – then various forms of cancer may indeed be manifestations of the same cancer microbe.
There are many "factors" that determine whether a person will become infected with TB. Obviously, smoking is a big factor in lung cancer, radiation is a big factor in skin cancer and leukemia, and so on. However, in defense of the cancer microbe theory, it would be fair to suggest that anything that damages tissue would provide a soil for the possible development of cancer microbe activity in the tissue that could lead to cancer or the development of degenerative or proliferative disease.
Finally, is cancer contagious? For a century physicians have said "no." But now we know that certain viruses like HIV can lead to cancer. Certain wart "papilloma" viruses can be spread sexually and result in cervical cancer. If further infectious agents, like cancer microbes, are found in cancerous diseases, we may have to reevaluate the contagiosity of cancer.
Obviously in this short communication, few people will be convinced that bacteria cause cancer. For me, it took many years of study, microscopic observation, and communication with microbiologists, pathologists, and colleagues, to become convinced that Livingston and her associates were correct in their claims of a cancer microbe.

If we look at what has happened since 1972, we can get the jist of what is happening. All kinds of bacteria have been altered:
BC and BA in the 90's by the Russians, was mixed.
E-coli is on the rise
Bacteria in gm foods in seeds.
add to that:
cyanobacteria on the rise
fungal infections
All an increase in BACTERIA. According to the following this is what we in Western Medicine call Cancer.
So, what is the answer?
Bechamp's theory........it is the environment of the body.
Now, if a release included more than one bacteria mixed, the known substances of the bacteria, protein or gene from homeobox used to continue the invalid idea that we came from the one-celled organism, why then must all these novel organisms be created to prove that, or to be used to increase the bacteria level on the earth?
I see the microbes which are propelled by another type of bacteria eating organism. So, there could be altered bacteria, virus as a way to vector it, by bug or by horizontal transfer and quorum sensing which forms biofilm, the sticky stuff, and microbes are produced from this. So not only do we have bacteria, we have microbes, and possibly vector, gnat, midge, collembola, tick or a recombinant dna
transferring all to us.
When bacterias quorum sense they form a biofilm.
This biofilm is likened to a giant form bacteria.
This is fiction, but still. I doubt we are too far away from it though....
U.S. Military Plans to Make Insect Cyborgs
U.S. Military Plans to Make Insect Cyborgs
WASHINGTON - Facing problems in its efforts to train insects or build robots that can mimic their flying abilities, the U.S. military now wants to develop "insect cyborgs" that can go where its soldiers cannot. ( Dan Brown wasn't far off in his book Deception Point)
The goal is to create technology that can achieve 'the delivery of an insect within five meters of a specific target located at hundred meters away, using electronic remote control, and/or global positioning system.'
Once at the target, 'the insect must remain stationary either indefinitely or until otherwise instructed ... (and) must also be able to transmit data from (Department of Defense) relevant sensors ... includ(ing) gas sensors, microphones, video, etc..'
The Pentagon is seeking applications from researchers to help them develop technology that can be implanted into living insects to control their movement and transmit video or other sensory data back to their handlers.
In an announcement posted on government Web sites last week, the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, or DARPA, says it is seeking "innovative proposals to develop technology to create insect cyborgs," by implanting tiny devices into insect bodies while the animals are in their pupal stage.
As an insect metamorphoses from a larva to an adult, the solicitation notice says, its "body goes through a renewal process that can heal wounds and reposition internal organs around foreign objects, including tiny (mechanical) structures that might be present."
The goal is to create technology that can achieve "the delivery of an insect within five meters of a specific target located at hundred meters away, using electronic remote control, and/or global positioning system." Once at the target, "the insect must remain stationary either indefinitely or until otherwise instructed ... (and) must also be able to transmit data from (Department of Defense) relevant sensors ... includ(ing) gas sensors, microphones, video, etc."
The move follows challenges the agency says it has encountered in its efforts to train insects to detect explosives or other chemical compounds, and to mimic their flight and movement patterns using small robots.
Several years ago, DARPA launched a $3 million project to train honeybees to find landmines. According to a report by the American Forces Press Service, scientists used sugar-soaked sponges treated with explosives to get the bees to identify the smell as a possible food source.
But last week's solicitation says the project didn't work out.
"These activities have highlighted key challenges involving behavioral and chemical control of insects... Instinctive behaviors for feeding and mating -- and also for responding to temperature changes -- prevented them from performing reliably," it says.
As far as the development of purely robotic or mechanical unmanned aerial vehicles -- so-called micro-UAVs -- the solicitation says that developing energy sources both powerful and light enough "present(s) a key technical challenge."
Both sets of challenges "might be effectively overcome" by the development of insect cyborgs, says the solicitation.
The devices DARPA wants to implant are micro-electro-mechanical systems, or MEMS. MEMS technology uses tiny silicon wafers like those used as the basis for computer microchips. But instead of merely laying circuits on them, MEMS technology can actually cut and shape the silicon, turning the chip into a microscopic mechanical device.
The solicitation envisages the implanted device as a "platform" onto which "various microsystem payloads can be mounted ... with the goal of controlling insect locomotion, sens(ing) local environment, and scaveng(ing) power."
"Possible methods of locomotion control may be sensory manipulation, direct muscle interface, or neural interface to the insect," says the document, known as a Broad Agency Announcement. It goes on to say that sensory manipulation, for instance by projecting ultrasonic vibrations or ejecting pheromones, is likely to be species-specific, whereas technology to directly control insect muscles or brains "may be more general."
DARPA believes that the heat and mechanical power generated by the insects themselves as they move around "may be harnessed to power the microsystem payload" eliminating the need for batteries or other power systems.
The objective is to transform the insects into "predictable devices that can be used for various micro-UAV missions requiring unobtrusive entry into areas inaccessible or hostile to humans."
Among potential missions, says the solicitation, would be the collection of "explosive signatures from within buildings, caves, or other inaccessible locations."
Although flying insects like dragonflies and moths are "of great interest," the document says, "Hopping and swimming insects could also meet final demonstration goals."
Implanting the devices during pupation is key, says the document, because "the insects are immobile and can be manipulated without interference from instinctive motion."
As part of their honeybee training project, DARPA glued tiny radio transmitters to the bees, to help track their movement.
The solicitation says that the healing processes which insects go through as they change from larvae into adults "are expected to yield more reliable bio-electromechanical interface... as compared to adhesively bonded systems to adult insects."
Inserting the devices in pupae could also "enable assembly-line like fabrication of hybrid insect-MEMS interfaces, providing a considerable cost advantage," says the solicitation.
DARPA will hold a day-long conference for contractors interested in submitting proposals on March 24.
So who is paying for this
Dont worry about that.
some people I think get a bit paranoid.

Thank you.
It will take me days, no weeks to assimilate the information contained in your post.
Lida Mattmans' work though is familiar.
Is it true to say that she was arrested as a means of keeping her "quiet" after she revealed her discoveries re. pleomorphism
and that when she was conducting tests commented that it was "hard to find people who were not infected"
(with pleomorphic bacteria)...?
There is also an increase in TB in this nation, but there are no public awareness programs alerting the population of the possibility of infection, as this news, in the UK, politically, is a no go area too.
The UK, more specifically, London, particularly Central London, has seen a massive influx of people from all over the world. TB is not that uncommon and I see the pallor, tracking and skin-thickening effects of our infection on lots of people.
I am sure this story is an old chestnut, and might confirm that this infection is not from outer space,because it is rumoured that all the aliens who have examined the situation on Earth have taken one look here, and fled, stating its apparent infestation with a Macroscopic, intelligent, highly motile, pleomorphic bacteria that spends long periods moving back and forth along tracks, encased in a metallic jacket, belching myco toxins beneath overlapping layers of bio-film...as the reason.
It seems also that our quorum sensing abilities are now being eroded, we have just about lost the sense of intuition and illness and epidemics are common, ensuring that we are confined to one area and can not colonise further.
Much to the relief of the rest of the universe.
This is a bit... ermm.... Saturday evening... but we do share genes with the mushroom after all.

When you think about the personal information most private to you, details about health are generally among the most obvious, and keeping those details safe are of the highest priority. As a result the healthcare industry is highly regulated to prevent patient data from getting into the wrong hands. But while compliance exists to insulate the healthcare industry from mistakes made internally, those same regulations don't dissuade external actors from attempting to steal the same information.
Community Health Systems (CHS) is the latest to learn that lesson, following an announcement on August 18 that its systems had been compromised by advanced persistent threats, potentially leaking social security numbers and health information belonging to 4.5 million of its patients.
Reuters reports that the incident was committed by a group known as "APT 18" which like many other high-profile hacking groups, is believed to have ties to the Chinese government. Cybersecurity forensics provider Mandiant says that the group is best known for its efforts to steal intellectual property from industrial targets, with the new attack potential indicating a shift in focus towards healthcare.

The breach is the largest event involving patient information that has been identified, since the Department of Health and Human Services began monitoring such incidents in 2009.
CHS is one of the nation's largest hospital operators in, with facilities in multiple states. The company says that it is currently insured against such events, and that it is in the process of notifying affected patients, as required by state and federal laws.
Mandiant says that the over the last year, they've seen an increase in cyberattacks that target healthcare providers, but this event also shows a continued trend of aggressive Chinese based hacker activity.
Earlier this year, the Department of Justice indicted 5 Chinese nationals for their attempts to steal infrastructural plans from power plants, and the U.S. Office of Personnel Management was also the center of a database compromise with suspected ties to China earlier this year.

Letter Carriers plan May 10 food drive
JANESVILLE—Members of the National Association of Letter Carriers are again taking the lead to stamp out hunger with their annual Letter Carriers' Food Drive.
Letter carriers in 1,200 branches nationwide, including those in Rock, Green and Walworth counties, will participate in the 22nd annual event Saturday, May 10.
Last year, with the help of thousands of volunteers, letter carriers nationwide collected more than 74.4 million pounds of nonperishable food—the second highest amount since the drive began in 1992. That pushed the grand total to just under 1.3 billion pounds.
A total of 40,290 pounds was collected in Janesville during the 2013 food drive and was divided equally between the food pantries at Everyone Cooperating to Help Others and the Salvation Army in Janesville.
Kathy Oliver, Janesville, is coordinator of drives in Janesville, Milton, Delavan, Elkhorn, Edgerton, Brodhead, Orfordville and Footville.
"Everything collected local stays local," she said.
For example, everything collected in Milton stays in Milton, Oliver said.
Other communities will be conducting drives under the leadership of different letter carrier coordinators, she said.
Oliver shared seven things to know about this year's food drive:
1. To participate. Place nonperishable food donations in a sturdy bag at your mailboxes by 1 p.m. May 10.
"The earlier the better," Oliver said.
2. To donate. Typical donations include canned soups, vegetables, meats, fish, pasta, boxed or bagged cereal and peanut butter.
Toiletries—soap, shampoo, toilet paper plus toothpaste and toothbrushes—also are welcome.
"No glass jars, please," Oliver said.
"Don't put out expired canned goods because the food banks can't give that out. If it's expired, the food is going into the trash," she said.
3.� Donation pickup. Letter carriers will collect food as they deliver mail along their postal routes. When their trucks get full, volunteers will meet them and empty their trucks.
"If they don't fill up, then we'll unload their trucks at the docks when they return at the end of their shifts," Oliver said.
4.� Where donations go. Volunteers pick up food from letter carriers periodically throughout the day and take donations to Janesville's main post office, on Milton Avenue, where they are weighed on an industrial scale before being distributed.
5. To volunteer. Volunteers are needed for two- and three-hour shifts between 10:30 and 6 p.m. when they will drive to the letter carriers to unload their trucks. Volunteers also are needed at the post office to unload letter carrier trucks as they arrive.
6. Where the food ends up. In Janesville, the food is divided equally between the food pantries at the Salvation Army and ECHO. Food collected in other communities benefits the food pantries in those communities.
7. Don't panic. If residents see someone besides a letter carrier picking up food from their mailbox, it most likely will be a volunteer.
