As most traders know, brokers have to tape phone calls. So perhaps the most interesting aspect of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission's (CFTC) enforcement action against Jon Corzine, Edith O'Brien and MF Global are the internal phone calls and e-mails between staff when the firm was going down. On June 27, Corzine was charged by the CFTC that MF Global unlawfully used nearly one billion dollars of customer segregated funds to support its own proprietary operations and the operations of its affiliates…. Corzine bears responsibility for MF Global's unlawful acts. He held and exercised direct or indirect control over MF Global and Holdings and either did not act in good faith or knowingly induced these violations, the CFTC stated in its complaint. Likewise, Edith O'Brien, assistant treasurer of MF Global and head of liquidity management, approved and/or caused numerous illegal transfers of customer segregated funds to the Firm's proprietary accounts, and otherwise aided and abetted MF Global's customer segregated fund liquidity.
The CFTC complaint is against MF Global Inc., MF Global Holdings, Jon Corzine and Edith O'Brien. MF Global receivers have signed off on the settlement and now it's up to the U.S. bankruptcy court to approve.
After the complaint was announced, word spread through a New York Post story quoting an anonymous source that the Department of Justice(DOJ) had dropped any criminal investigations against Corzine, although the DOJ's only on-the-record comment was "no comment." One source told us that historically government agencies will wait to press civil charges until after any DOJ criminal actions; in this case that didn't happen, inferring but not confirming criminal charges won't be filed. But this isn't always true, especially when customer funds are on hold, noted one attorney. On another front, Rep. Michael Grimm (R-NY) is calling on the DOJ for criminal charges against Corzine, citing that based on the taped calls by Corzine, he perjured himself during congressional hearings. Update: on Aug. 1, a letter from several Republican lawmakers was sent to the DOJ requesting an investigation of Corzine, comments he was taped as saying and his testimony in front of Congress.
How did they get there?
By now, even the least interested person knows about the failure of MF Global, and that Corzine hoped to turn MF Global into an investment bank and invested funds into what became bad investments, especially sovereign debt. But the illiquidity of the firm had been ongoing…and then came Oct. 6, 2011. From the CFTC complaint:
…on Thursday, October 6, 2011, members of senior management were concerned about the Firm's liquidity and ultimate viability. O'Brien, her supervisor, Holdings' Global Treasurer, and others discussed on a recorded telephone line that the Firm expected to have to make a margin payment of $50 million to $75 million the next day for MF Global's RTMs [repurchase to maturity trade]. They agreed that this margin obligation would have to be paid from FCM Excess Cash because the Firm had no other readily available source of cash that could cover that amount. At the time, the FCM Excess Cash balance was approximately $80 to $100 million. Holdings' Global Treasurer expressed concern that even without the stress of this margin call, the Firm was facing the loss of liquidity and that it was "skating on the edge" without "much ice left."
On that same day, Global Treasurer Vinay Mahajan spoke to Holdings CFO Henri Steenkamp and said that he had told Corzine that the Firm's liquidity "situation" was "not sustainable" and that "the situation is grave." Later during this conversation, the global treasurer stated that "we have to tell Jon that enough is enough. We need to take the keys away from him." Corzine disparagingly nicknamed the Global Treasurer "the Gravedigger.
The evening of Oct. 6, Corzine received an email from Holdings' CFO that detailed the financial stresses on the Firm. In the email, Holdings' CFO told Corzine that "[o]f most concern, is the sustained levels of stress and the lack of signs that this will reduce soon."
Holdings' CFO identified MF Global's three sources of liquidity: (1) cash from its subsidiary, MF Global Finance USA, Inc. ("Finco"); (2) FCM Excess Cash; and (3) MF Global's broker dealer division. Holdings' CFO warned Corzine that the Firm was becoming overly reliant on the cash in the FCM customer accounts because the other two sources of liquidity were insufficient: "the situation of our broker-dealer [is] that [it] is currently unable to fund itself, and more worrying continues to need more cash than we have in finco [sic], thereby having us dip into FCM excess every day."
However, it seems that Corzine was "determined to squeeze MF Global's customer segregated accounts and customer secured accounts for cash. In a recorded conversation with another MF Global employee ("Employee #2"), Corzine pronounced: "We need to go through what that real number is at the FCM. You know, what's the drop dead amount. . . You know, I'm sure there is a buffer in her thinking. We've got to find out what that is so that we have some ability to think about pulling it if we have to. Obviously, keep me posted."
Playing a shell game
On Oct. 18, despite a decision that FCM cash would no longer be used as a liquidity source, the firm used approximately $55 million more than what was available of FCM excess cash, the complaint states, adding it was the third day in a row that Corzine received information that the Firm violated its policy.
On Oct. 26, MF Global became under-segregated to the tune of $298 million in customer seg accounts… the firm did not immediately notify the CFTC or CME Group, its designated self regulatory organization. According to the complaint, O'Brien and her staff in MF Global's Treasury Department directed, approved, and/or caused funds to be transferred from customer segregated accounts at the request of MF Global's broker-dealer staff. O'Brien understood that any use of customer segregated funds was unlawful, even if these customer funds were later returned to the segregated accounts. At approximately 6:00 p.m. ET, O'Brien told broker-dealer staff in an email that she needed them to return funds from MF Global proprietary accounts at the Bank of New York Mellon ("BONY") to customer segregated accounts "ASAP," and that they could not afford a "SEG issue." BONY was one of MF Global's primary banks, housing customer segregated accounts as well as MF Global proprietary accounts, among other Firm accounts.
Just prior to 6:30 p.m. ET, O'Brien told Employee #2 on a recorded telephone line that the Firm would not be in compliance with customer segregation rules because funds were not being returned to customer segregated accounts:
O'BRIEN: It is a total clusterfuck . . . . They have to move half a billion dollars out of BONY to pay me back . . . . Tell me how much money is coming in and I will make sure it gets posted. But if you don't tell me, then tomorrow morning I am going to have a seg problem . . . . I need the money back from the broker-dealer I already gave them. I can't afford a seg problem.
But she got one as BONY transferred $325 million to a customer seg account, but it wasn't enough. The complaint continues: O'Brien sent an e-mail to one MF Global employee titled "Heads up my projection," which stated: "Due to large B/D client wires we could be negative seg tomorrow AM."
On Oct. 27, with credit from BONY or JPMorgan (JPM) not coming due to MF Global's precarious position, Corzine spoke to one employee, says the complaint, to strategize how they could use customer segregated funds to induce JPM to clear MF Global's trades more quickly:
CORZINE: We have a money management account at Chase, if my memory serves me.
Employee #1: Yeah, it's the JPMorgan Trust account, but that's cash seg for clients -- it has nothing to do with greasing our wheels for Chase to move.
CORZINE: I understand but you put it in a tri-party, and then once the securities have started moving, then you move it back to the, um --this is the same thing we did last night, they left it in the tri-party, the seg money.
At the close of Oct. 26, MF Global's customer segregated accounts were under-segregated by more than $298 million. That same day, states the complaint, despite knowing accounts were under-segregated, O'Brien and her staff transferred at least $525 million of seg funds, including $325 million transfer from a customer seg account at BONY, to the Firm's proprietary accounts. But before BONY allowed the transfer, it asked if it would comply with CFTC regulations. The complaint states:
O'Brien replied to BONY by email that the $325 million were "not required to be segregated intra-day under CFTC or SEC rules." She deliberately did not copy other MF Global Treasury Department employees on her email response to BONY because, as she explained to one of her colleagues in the Treasury Department on a recorded telephone line: "I don't want to take anyone down with me.
The complaint states that knowing seg funds were underfunded, At approximately 8:45 p.m. ET, Employee #2 told Corzine on a recorded telephone line that some of the funds O'Brien had transferred from the FCM to help satisfy MF Global's proprietary obligations had not been returned. Corzine asked if she had received back "enough to be in compliance," and the employee responded, "no, she['s] indicating she's net short $106 million." Corzine thereafter instructed the employee to "raise hell" with (JPMorgan) to obtain funds from the secured revolver to "cover up" the gap left by transfers of funds that were not returned. Corzine did not receive assurances that the funds were returned.
Although that night the firm filed a seg report to the CFTC stating it had more than $116 million in excess funds, it actually was underfunded by more than $298 million.
Overseas headache
Early Friday morning, Oct. 28, Corzine learned the U.K. affiliate was overdrawn in its JPMorgan accounts by $134 million. At 9:00 a.m, according to the complaint, he instructed O'Brien to transfer funds to pay for the overdrafts, saying it was "the most important thing she can get done that day." O'Brien complied, sending $175 million to the U.K. affiliate. In a phone call the next day, she told a colleague "the only place I had the $175 million, ok, was in seg." O'Brien also commented during this conversation that she "move[s] money all the time . . . from seg over to house and house over to the BD [broker-dealer]. O.K., that's what we do all the time because we don't have enough capital…" When told she might not get the money back right away, she responded that "leaves us with a problem – a big problem."
When JPMorgan inquired about this transfer, Corzine followed up with O'Brien, who noted that it was transferred from a MF proprietary account, leaving out that originally it was from the customer seg funds account.
On Friday, O'Brien's team asserted that seg funds account be readjusted to show an increase of $540 million, which was wrong but unquestioned.
O'Brien knew that the transfers from customer segregated accounts that day were unlawful. At about 6:00 p.m. ET in a recorded telephone call, O'Brien told Employees #1 and #2 that at least $530 million had been transferred from FCM customer segregated accounts and that it could be "game over" unless at least $355 million was returned:
O'BRIEN: Okay, so it's 249.50 today, it's 106 from, from Wednesday, actually, you guys, okay? Okay. 355. Okay. So, let's just be delirious and think [the broker-dealer division] ha[s] more than 355. Okay? If they have it, I need it, and let me tell you why. Shh. London failed me on returning the 175 I pushed out to them this morning. Okay? That could be game over, you guys.
Employee #2: From a regulatory perspective?
O'BRIEN: Yep. Yep, it could be.
Employee #1: You need the 530 million bucks.
O'BRIEN: Yep. I don't care where you get it, quite frankly. If you can get 530 million dollars, I'm putting it back in the seg pool. Okay? I can maybe get by with this 175, but I can't get by without the whole 355, you guys.
According to the complaint: Among other things, Corzine also was aware, at the time when funds were transferred from the customer segregated accounts, that: (a) the Firm had inadequate controls and systems with regard to liquidity management and regulatory reporting; (b) MF Global was experiencing a liquidity crisis, which had worsened during the last week of October; (c) JPM sought written assurances that the transfer of hundreds of millions of dollars from MF Global's customer segregated accounts was in compliance with CFTC Regulations; and (d)…MF Global had previously violated Firm policy by using more than what was available of FCM Excess Cash from the customer segregated and customer secured accounts to satisfy the Firm's proprietary liquidity needs. Additionally, Corzine knew on Friday morning that MF Global had transferred $175 million to MFGUK even though he thought MF Global had immediate access to only $82 million in proprietary cash. He further learned from JPM shortly before 2:00 p.m. ET on Friday that the funds were used to pay the overdraft … and were in fact transferred from a customer segregated account.
Corzine knew that MF Global's own policy regarding the use of FCM Excess Cash was repeatedly violated to meet the liquidity demands on the Firm. In October 2011 alone, MF Global had violated its policy on at least five business days. Yet, Corzine did not take sufficient steps in response to ensure that proper controls were established and implemented to prevent any further violation of a Firm policy that was designed to protect customer funds.
So now what?
With the court's approval, the CFTC will settle with MF Global for full restitution to all customers who still await funds, as well as it imposes a $100 million fine to be paid after all clients are made whole. According to the MF Global Inc. Trustee's office, $4.981 billion has been distributed, which is 89% of U.S. accounts and 18% of non-U.S. accounts. In a statement, MF Global Inc. trustee spokesperson said "the resolution with the CFTC concerning MF Global Inc. is appropriate because it is a cooperative plan, that with bankruptcy court approval, would allow the return of 100% of the claims made by the former customers who had accounts at the broker-dealer."
The complaint pending against Corzine and O'Brien includes a monetary penalty as well as losing all industry/trading privileges.
Corzine's attorney, Andrew Levander, had this statement: "This is an unprecedented lawsuit based on meritless allegations that Mr. Corzine failed to supervise an experienced back-office professional who was located in a different city and who did not report to Mr. Corzine or even to anyone who reported to Mr. Corzine. No evidence has been found that contradicts Mr. Corzine's sworn testimony before Congress. Mr. Corzine did nothing wrong, and we look forward to vindicating him in court."
Perhaps, but Rep. Grimm alleges Corzine indeed perjured himself during congressional testimony, stating in a release:
"In 2011, Jon Corzine gave the following statements to Congress:
"I simply do not know where the money is." — made in written and verbal testimony before House and Senate Agriculture Committees (Dec. 7, 2011; Dec. 13, 2011)
"I was stunned when I was told on Sunday, October 30, 2011, that MF Global could not account for many hundreds of millions of dollars of client money." — written testimony to Senate Agriculture Committee (Dec 13, 2011)
"I did not, however, generally involve myself in the mechanics of the clearing and settlement of trades, or in the movement of cash and collateral." — written testimony to Senate Agriculture Committee (Dec. 13, 2011).
Rep. Grimm shows as his evidence the conversation Corzine had on Oct. 27 with Employee #1 regarding the JPMorgan account when Corzine was asking about a money management account at Chase. The employee says it won't help with Chase, and Corzine's reponse is to put it in the tri-party account (see slide, left).
It might prove difficult to get Corzine on perjury, especially with this Congress, one source noted. However, Corzine's testimony that he was "stunned" that they couldn't account for missing client money on Oct. 30 after weeks of dipping into seg funds is disingenuous at best and a lie at worst when tape recordings show he was ordering money moved almost daily.
As for O'Brien, she isn't saying anything, which is exactly what she did in front of Congress when she plead the 5th, and that just might be the smartest thing she did in this entire saga.

I want to be able to create programs which are able to create multiple thread or multiple processes. I know about the concepts of locks, semaphores but I find them difficult to code in C++/Java. Is there a language which can enable me to do this easily?

As it currently stands, this question is not a good fit for our Q&A format. We expect answers to be supported by facts, references, or expertise, but this question will likely solicit debate, arguments, polling, or extended discussion. If you feel that this question can be improved and possibly reopened, visit the help center for guidance.If this question can be reworded to fit the rules in the help center, please edit the question.
Look at Erlang. It's pretty specialized for such tasks. Edit By Zach Kessin: Erlang is probably the way to go here. In Java you often have small number of processes that share memory and do so with Locks and Mutexes. In Erlang you generally have a very large number of processes that share no mutable state. As there is no shared state there is no need for locks. What Erlang does is use an actor model. Which is to say that processes send each other messages. This is a rather natural model as it is how we work in real life. I know how my office mate's weekend was because I asked him (we sent messages back and forth) not because I remember what is in His head. In addition Erlang ships with the OTP framework which is setup for building very reliable services. It is very easy to build fault tolerant applications which will keep going in the face of all sorts of errors in OTP. | |||||
If you're having difficulty in using the low-level locking and synchronisation objects then I'd advise you to be very very careful with your threaded code. Look instead to the 'task' approaches used in Intel's TBB or Apple's Grand Central Dispatch - these are where you kick off independent tasks that are processed like sub-processes rather than threads in an app. Alternatively, you can look to code like OpenMP that simplifies threading tasks in C++ code through the use of pragmas that allow you to tell the system what kind of threading you want for a chunk of code, and it figures out how to make that "single-thread" code work in parallel. Lastly, there is a movement towards on-parallel programming, using asynchronous programming where a single thread is used, but each task is not processed "in-line" but it put on a queue where the OS runs it as it can, when the task completes, it informs the main thread so it can process the results (usually by queuing another task). Windows 8 uses this model, but it was made popular in the server-side javascript system Node.JS. the trick to using this effectively is to make many calls to asynchronous tasks and keep any processing on the main thread short. | |||||||||
You can try doing functional code. Pure functional languages boast their ability to be easily and automagicaly parallelised. Pure functions and imutability are great for that. Using multiple threads in applications with shared state and functions with side effects is many times complex than doing single-threaded. And it can easily result in many times complex code with only performance increase of few percents. | |||||
You'll want to read and understand Threads Cannot Be Implemented As A Library by Hans-J. Boehm. That one's all about C with pthreads, but the argument extends to C++, at least. To answer your question in light of Boehm's paper: to be absolutely certain, you'll need to drop into assembly, and understand how the multiprocessing primitives interact with the instructions your program uses. Otherwise, you'll need to stick to a language with threading or some other form of parallelism built-in. | |||
In Clojure you can have the best of the imperative and functional worlds, as far as concurrency and parallelism are concerned. You can go as low- or high- level as you want (using from locks and | |||
Google's Go language is intended to be a modern replacement for C, with same intended use cases, but emphasis on creating parallel code easily. It hides the OS threads from programmer though, so if you want to learn threads specifically, then it's not the right choice. If you want "real" threads, Java has pretty good thread and concurrency support, and also tons of documentation about threading, and how to do it right, and also various classes and libraries for higher level concepts like running tasks in thread pools. | |||
Ada was designed for parallel execution from the very beginning. This is a good intro to tasks (roughly equivalent to threads in most other languages) Ada also has protected objects, functions (read-only access, can be called by multiple threads simultaneously) and procedures (exclusive access) and synchronization built in. | |||

Medium player here... All about the fun and playing with other fun people.... Only thing I can say I get bored with is when people "ONLY" choose 2-4 setlists thats not random.... Its fun to pick n choose your own now n again.... but if your playing Tour mode... isnt the whole objective to get through the tour, instead of just picking the choose your own setlist? (That "opinion" is only towards people doing "TOURS" not for those just making a regular setlist outside of tours) So don't get it confuzed lol
random setlists are just as fun - as their "random" which makes it more interesting and fun... specially after having a few shots of tequila, several beers, and playing on BNS lol
Im "usually" on Saturday nights after 10pm(est) - depending on my mood, sometimes before 10pm, and I usually play till about 4-6am(est).
So if your up and around on saturday nights - give me a shout and lets play some
I also don't mind switching back n forth between guitar and bass

Cuba Libre Cupcakes. This isn't just one of my favorite recipes that I've created ever, it is one of the most popular on the blog.
Kiwi Freezer Jam. My first jam. Super easy, tasty and not too sweet.
I celebrated Purim with some vegan hamantaschen. One of those "I can't believe it's vegan" recipes.
Mango Chicken. I am especially proud of this recipe. I tried to duplicate a dish I had in a restaurant and I think I made it even better, just going on instinct.
Dark Chocolate Goji Berry Ice Cream. Vosges inspired and so very tasty.
Blueberry Ginger Ice Box Pie. So pretty and fresh and it didn't heat up the house.
Smearcase. Recreating a regional favorite just from sense memory was tricky but the results were perfect.
Prickly Pear Sorbet . I just love prickly pears.
Apple Rosemary Meatloaf. I was excited that this idea not only worked but was super tasty.
Pumpkin Cheesecake Swirl Brownies. Another of the most popular recipes I posted this year. Also one of the recipes I get the most e-mails about. Just a hint: follow the directions! Mix both batters thoroughly and don't try and substitute a boxed mix for the chocolate part.
Peppermint Mocha Cupcakes. Starbucks inspired. Also one of the first times I realized that I could create a recipe that yielded a reasonable amount of cupcakes for a family of two but that could also be easily doubled.
Shrimp & Grits. I wish I had some right now.
Check out other "best of" lists over at One Hot Stove's round up.

@Black Gate of Mordor
The specialist for the Mayan ball court was intended to be an in-game decision, whether or not you wanted to specialize in culture or science. I guess if you picked one, then go with the scientist. Or to balance it out (since science gives you culture anyway) one scientist or two artists.
Vietnam UA name- "Jungle Insurgents"
For the Netherlands, my vote goes to the Paltrok mill, since we don't have anything listed for the Dike as a UI. And for the UA, I like United EIC, but given how wonky diplomacy is right now, its hard to cast my vote for it. If it weren't for that, I'd take it in a heartbeat. Traders of the Sea seems somewhat bland, unfortunately, but that's what I'm voting for.
Portugal has two very interesting UA's. To add more exploration incentive, make the bonus just +1 gold (since +2 is a lot for just one tile), but +3 for tiles no one has discovered. So, I guess you could say I support the first UA.
Given that the Mali were just in Civ IV, its surprising that they are "forgotten". Lets add em in:
Leader- Mansa Musa
Capital- Timbuktu
UA- "Sub-Saharan Gold Mine"-Mines have a slight chance of discovering Gold or Silver. Higher chance of starting nearby gold or silver. Unit maintenance costs (inflation) decreased by 25%.
UU- Skirmisher, replaces Archer; significantly increased strength up close and afar, but only one range. Normal cost.
UB- Gold-smith, replaces workshop; +25% gold produced in the city, not +15% production. No maintenance, but more expensive to build.
No one has said Mexico yet!?
Leader possibility #1: Antonio López de Santa Anna (Santa Anna for short)
Leader possibility #2: Miguel Hidalgo y Costilla (Miguel Hidalgo for short)
Capital: Mexico City
UA possibility #1: "Grito de Dolores" +33% military land unit production during war with foreign empire. Rebel forces appear at -12 happiness, not -20.
UU: "Zapatista" replaces rifleman. Cost 150, not 200. Strength 22, not 25. Ignores terrain movement penalty, +25% attack when fighting on hills.
UU: "Caudillo" replaces great general. Same bonuses as regular GG, but does not die when being killed in combat, just sent back to the capital. Can only be lost when building the GG's improvement or golden age. Golden ages began by Caudillos are 100% longer.
That sounds like it fits. Well, maybe the UA is a bit too good, any ideas?
Last edited by Floating Pants; 02-13-2011 at 12:05 PM.
Here's an idea for a capital city for the Sioux...
Sioux Falls.
More for Tibet:
UU: (as from a Civilization 3 scenario) Warrior Monk (possibly replacing Pikemen).
UB: Tibetan Monastery. Monasteries have always been of huge importance in Tibet, and are the most obvious building choice for them. This building would have an extra cultural bonus.
UU- Warrior Monk, replaces swordsmen; +50% defensive bonus, -25% attack bonus.
UB- Stupa (A Buddhist place of worship), replaces Temple; +3 culture for every mountain, +1 culture per turn than normal.
UA-"Nonviolence"-Any nation that attacks Tibet takes 1 unhappiness for every turn the war is maintained.
For an Australian UA, how about "Penal Colony"-+50% population growth, but +20% unhappiness from population. Its only an idea, so if you don't like it, I understand. An alternative is "Indigenous Culture"-Captured Barbarian Camps offer culture as well as gold. Culture buildings in other cities aren't destroyed upon Australian conquest.
Thanx for your help with Tibet! I still think that their UB should be more related to their very iconic Monasteries, that can be found absolutely everywhere throughout Tibet. Monasteries also played a big roll in family life, for during one time period, it was pretty much expected for each family to send one son to a Monastery.
I like the "Nonviolence" UA, since that seems to be the theme for Tibet.
Interesting idea for the Australian UA as well! I'd probably go with the first one of the two, yet the +20% unhappiness is pretty bad.
I strayed from a monastery UB since there is a monastery building already in the game. Though after a bit of research, the Buddhist equivalent of a monastery is called a Vihara, so I guess it COULD replace the Monastery. It gains a culture bonus from incense, still, but instead of a culture bonus from wine, it gets a smaller bonus from hills and mountains. An extension of the UA I thought of in class today was that any nation that controlled Tibet's capital took 5 Unhappiness until it is returned to Tibet, on top of its normal ability. After all, China is STILL taking a lot of flak for annexing Tibet and not allowing them any independence.
20% is just a random number I pulled. I don't mind if you feel like modifying it to balance things out. I was kinda worried Australians might not like it, actually. That's why I pitched a second UA. But since you like the first one a lot more, then I guess I have nothing to worry about.
What's the point of adding more civs when the game and AI is to terrible?
Actually, I think the second one is worse (historically) for Australia. The second one seems fairly good, but I would go with Hawk's suggestion of a time limit. It'd mean we'd have to have another part for Australia, but I like it.20% is just a random number I pulled. I don't mind if you feel like modifying it to balance things out. I was kinda worried Australians might not like it, actually. That's why I pitched a second UA. But since you like the first one a lot more, then I guess I have nothing to worry about.
Perhaps something relating to celebrating a lost battle or having your own weather rating.
Outstanding read. Great ideas all around. I would personally enjoy the Sioux in the game, but I believe the Inuit would be an awesome addition. Having tundra and ice bonuses would create unique opportunities for utilizing maps and starting conditions.
Wait...so you DON'T like the UA "Indigenous Culture, but you DO like the UA "Penal Colony"? Anyway, I like the idea of a time limit, since Australia obviously isn't used for that anymore. Maybe as an added part to the UA, Open Borders with other civs increases city growth by 10%, and those who have Open Borders with Australia get +5 happiness?
Actually, Australian history reflects America's Manifest Destiny. The British had New South Wales (all of Australia minus WA) and then they 'annexed' Western Australia for fear of Dutch annexation (American claims of Oregon and the Great Plains). Imperialistic, but instead of people heading west to try and find the Pacific, they headed inland (and refused Aboriginal help) to try and find the great inland sea and where all the rivers ended.
edit: Actually, that UA still doesn't really reflect modern Australia either. All I know about Aboriginal culture is that 'The Dreamtime' is basically a time before humans and that there is a 'Rainbow Serpent'.
edit edit: and bunyips and yowies
Also, your suggestion sounds somewhat familiar. Isn't the second bit pretty much the Netherlands UA?
Last edited by Black Gate of Mordor; 02-16-2011 at 02:48 AM.
The Aborigine culture is barely visible in Westernised Australia - you have to travel to rural Northern Territory, or rural north Western Australia to see it properly, in fact almost no one can speak Koori just about anywhere else. It is unfortunate, but due to racism that still exists strongly today, anything Koori is rarely given much credit at all, unless it involves tourism (aka money). I was astonished when I discovered that most people I knew had no idea what a Bunyip or a Yowie is, and they all grew up in Australia. Another sad things is that you hardly ever see Koori people in Victoria or in NSW, or Tasmania (although that's probably because they were all wiped out in Tassy). There are more Sudanese people in Victoria than Aborigines.
Hmm... About my Mexico post I made a few pages back, I've rethought a few things.
Reduce the golden age bonus from Caudillos to 50% longer, 100% is a bit too good.
Perhaps if we were to create a UB and UU rather than double UU. The UB would be as follows:
Maquiladora, replaces factory. Maquiladoras are large factories in Latin American countries in which major companies relocate there for cheaper labor. They are an enormous boost to the Mexican economy, being located mainly along the American border. Same production cost and production bonuses as factory, but +4 gold generated by the city for each foreign civ with open borders agreement.
If we were to do this and remove a UU, I'd say the Zapatista. Caudillos are more famous, and they were the actually leaders who fought against foreign empires. Zapaitstas were like rebels, fighting against the Mexican federalist government of their time.
The Unfinished List
This is the list of everything that isn't finished yet.
Hittites (UB)
Poland-Lithuania (UB)
Note: All capitals are now implemented into the list
Very funny!
Your "Ned Kelly" UU did give me an idea though...Bushrangers! :P
Pub's good too, but even though Australia is one of the most religiously apathetic countries in the world, I wouldn't quite replace the temple.
On a more serious note though, I think it'd be better fitted to give the Aussies a more modern UU, or not far off, like the Diggers (Australian soldiers).
No, most Aussies do go to the pub to discuss 'religion'. Just not a traditional religion.
Also, on a more serious note, the Australian civ has been updated with suggestions from an Australian Mod I found in CFC.
Also, now you can create strategies for the civs that have already been completed. If we can't come up with one, then obviously the civ has to be changed.
Being Australian myself, I had a good laugh at the 'Pub' replacing temple, for better or worse we are associated with heavy drinking - who else would be stupid enough to vote in a world record holding drinker as Prime Minister? Just do not make him our leader please, but perhaps I am just showing my political colours?
As for a UU, I think the SAS would be a good one, we may not have invented them but even you 'yanks' (said with the greatest affection) recognised their expertise (particularly in desert warfare) on your latest misadventures into the middle-east.
Back to the UB, how about a Brewery? Since there is no Barely resource, it good be built when a city has Wheat and provides extra Happiness or something?
For Africa:
Carthage-Domination; Science. During wartime, your ships get a ranged combat bonus, so use it to you advantage to pummel down your foes on the high seas. And given that in peace time you get a happiness bonus from every ship, you should have a huge navy to back you up. Plus, the Cothon will help you churn out ships faster and keep them in fighting shape, as well as providing a nice monetary boost for overseas trade. If you stay at peace, use the golden ages you'll get from your navy to quickly build up the space ship parts. Those are always super expensive.
Ethiopia- Domination. Ethiopia gets Golden Ages very quickly, but they don't last quite as long as normal. To compensate, the Stele provides extra GA points for every one built, and the Oromo Warrior gets free GA points for every kill. It also helps that the Oromo warrior has extra strength, meaning it will be a lot harder to kill off your army. To maximize the effect of the Oromo warrior, you need to stay at war so the Golden Ages will keep flowing. Since a lot of the GA points come from war, it will be a little harder to go for the space race, so use the excess production to keep the war effort going and allowing for near endless chains of quick golden ages.
Zululand-Domination. The Zulu are terrifyingly powerful early in the game. Each unit in unfriendly territory causes unhappiness to that country, so capitalize on unhappy nations to wreak havoc and chaos upon your foes! The Impi is faster than normal and gets a combat bonus against anything slower that it is. This means its more powerful than just about everything early on (since it still gets a combat bonus versus mounted units). Add this to the Ikhanda, which cuts down on city maintenance costs, and you have a super potent fighting force. Even late in the game, the Zulu can still be a fearsome opponent, since you'll likely have much greater city maintenance costs, and messing with people's happiness can really cause trouble for them.
And a few Europeans:
Austria-Domination, Cultural. To make full use of Austria's ability, you need to do at least some conquering. Once you get a hold of an enemy city, their unique units and buildings are yours to use now. Obviously, taking a mixed army of Janissaries alongside Samurai and some Naresuan's Elephants thrown in for good measure will make you a feared fighting force for all to remember. That being said, you don't have to completely conquer someone to be able to utilize their uniques, so after you've acquired a city or two, you can settle down and focus on more peaceful endeavors. The Concert Hall UB sports an enormous culture boost, and if you happen to pick up any cities with a cultural UB, this can be a huge asset towards earning you a culture victory.
Holy Roman Empire-Diplomacy, Domination. Holy Rome gets a small production boost towards units for every CS that they are allied with. This can be taken one of two ways; either use that boost to churn out huge armies to crush the world, or keep allying with CS's to secure a diplomatic victory. Swiss Guards can only be acquired by alliance with a militaristic CS, but the benefit is enormous. Imperial Swiss Guards are free, have no maintenance, and are significantly stronger than normal pikemen, so its still in your best interest to make a few CS allies. Should you go on the offensive, the Rathaus is a cheaper version of the courthouse and yields a happiness bonus (despite costing a bit more to maintain), helping you keep your advance moving. One thing about Holy Rome is that you can build both your uniques AND their normal counterparts, giving you a lot of options as to how to run your country.
Celts-Culture. The Celts are a highly defensive nation, as the Dun provides increased defense for every forest or hill tile in the city radius, and their soldiers get a combat bonus in the same terrain. Quickly grab up as much land as you can, and DON'T chop down any forests, as they are your livelihood. The culture bonus from just a few forests will put you out ahead in the culture game very early on, so this will provide a strong incentive to pursue culture for the rest of the game. Domination is a possibility, but your safezones are hills and forests. Leave those and you are in serious trouble. For the most part, sticking to defense allows you to focus more on what you are best at, culture.
Huns-Domination. The Huns will be a menace early in the game. Their Nomad can defend itself and moves faster, allowing you to safely settle areas very quickly and secure valuable resources for yourself. The Horse archer makes a fantastic raider to help pick off barbarians or to antagonize your foes without being attacked too much. PLUS, any city that does not have at least a city wall means that your mounted units do not take the normal combat penalty for attacking cities. It is to your advantage to search for newly founded cities and then sweep them up with your cavalry so you can take them for your own. The other half of the Hunnic UA gives you substantial boosts to food and production as well, meaning you can quickly build a very wide empire with no trouble at all.
Netherlands-Science, Diplomacy. The Dutch are masters of commerce and industry. With their significant bonuses to gold from their UA and the East Indianman getting free gold equal to its strength for every attack, you will quickly be swimming in the money. The Paltrok mill gives you free production for every farm, so your cities will likely be incredibly large AND highly productive. Use this financial and productive strength to set yourself up for a science victory, as winning by science is never cheap. On the other hand, you can easily put that excess gold into buying your way into city states, allowing you to reap their rewards and set yourself up for an easy diplomatic win.

Thanks for those mwallyn. They're under Strategy, which brings me to my next point.
The thread now has colours so it's easier to read (especially with the strategy posts).
Strategy is Plum.
Domination is Dark Red.
Diplomacy is Yellow-Green.
Science is Deep Sky Blue.
Culture is Dark Orchid.
If these colours are too difficult to read (such as Domination) please tell me. Also, what colour should other things be? (such as UU and UBs)
Also, Morroco still has absolutely nothing for it. And Phoenicia has no leader.
A few random Civs:
Portugal-Any. Portugal doesn't really have a specific victory they should win. Their one quest is to explore the world as fast as possible, for every tile discovered is worth 1 gold (3 if you are the first to find it). You can do a lot of things with this money, such as buying up the land around your cities, buying a settler or two, or financing a large army early on. Use the money how ever you please, but building more scouts and caravels means you'll earn your exploration money even faster, and the longer you wait to go discovering, the more likely any given tile will be discovered, so bear that in mind. To further finance your exploration, the Feitoria gives you the normal gold boost like a bank, but gives you a substantial food bonus, too, helping your cities and colonies alike to grow. The Carrack UU also bestows extra movement to all embarked units within 2 tiles, so use it to blaze a trail across the ocean to discover new lands!
Norse-Domination. The Norse are in their element at sea. Coastal cities are at your mercy, since all Norse units get a combat bonus when attacking from the sea instead of a penalty. To help clear the way for your seagoing armies, the Longboat becomes stronger if it is next to its target. Also, the longboat makes an excellent explorer, as it can move up to two tiles away from the coast. Use it to your advantage to find new lands to settle. Once you do, the Trading port acts like a normal harbor, but you get +10% more gold from overseas trade routes. Your best approach as the Norse is to build overseas to maximize your profit from trade routes and to get a sizable combat bonus when attacking over water.
Tibet-Culture. Tibet is a master of defense. Their Warrior Monks get an enormous defensive bonus, but are weak on e attack, and Tibet is generally biased to hills and mountains at the beginning of the game. Their Stupa UB is their replacement to a temple, and it gets increased base culture AND free culture for every mountain tile in the city's radius. If you are in a particularly mountainous area, this can rack up some serious culture. Being generally defensive, you are free to pursue whatever peaceful goals you wish, so reasonably you can pursue Diplomatic and Science victories as well. No one will want to mess with you, as to make it all worse, Civilizations attacking you take -1 happiness for every turn they maintain the war.
Maya-Culture, Science. Mayans get a little extra science from jungles, but the real story is that 15% of their science output is converted to culture. You can look at this one of two ways; more science means free culture for you to quickly snatch up a culture win, or the culture is just an incentive to supercharge your science output. Either way, you want to build up your science output. Such a heavy focus on science means that you will easily reach the end of the tech tree to build your space ship. Of course, if you also build culture buildings alongside your science, then you will be in position to pick up culture win very quickly. The Ballcourt UB helps further your science/culture gains, having either a scientist or artist slot alongside the normal happiness boost. The spearman replacement, the Holkan, is a bit stronger than normal and gets the first rough terrain promotion, so use it to protect your holdings early on. Otherwise, the Maya don't have too much in the way of military.
I'm curious to know what you mean by that? Whenever I've gone to a pub, I've never heard people discussing religion before (although, to be fair, I haven't been to that many pubs).
I have spoken to a few who have gone overseas, and they have told me that people tend to be notably more religious in other countries, at least in comparison to Australia.
@Hawk: I believe BGoM was most likely either referring to our state religion; sport, or simply that we worship beer.
@mwallyn: The only recent personal experience in Pubs I have had outside Australia is in the UK. Ours are not a great deal different, only the beer is colder, fizzier, and in most cases of a far inferior quality. There I have said it. The national obsession with cheap lager (especially that foul brew that has the temerity to call itself a bitter) is a terrible shame but one that is thankfully beginning to turn around even though we do not have fine institutions like CAMRA to raise standards.
My 2, off-topic, cents.
Edit: I must say my limited experience with American beer has been less than spectacular. Only decent stuff I came across was Samuel Adams Boston Ale, your Budweiser borders on being a war-crime when compared to its namesake Czech stuff, but I am sure there is some decent being produced (likely by the smaller players as here) out there, somewhere.
Still no Phoenician ruler? How about Pygmalion of Tyre? He shifted the empire's trade from the Middle East to the Mediterranean. He is the brother of Dido, and wouldn't it be pretty cool if they added Dido and Pygmalion, two siblings.
If not him, then Ithobaal would work. He established some of the first Phoenician overseas colonies.
Couldn't have explained it better than myself. Beer tends to be a "god" common to most peoples.
Again, I'm only 20, so I have precisely zero experience with beer or bars/pubs. From what friends have said, most American beers are just "watered-down p***". As for me, I have no idea what's good and what's not, so don't take my word for anything.
Hey, I don't think we've discussed Palmyra as a possible new civ (even if we decide against them, we should still discuss them first): http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Ma...ome_271_AD.svg, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palmyra#History
Leader: Zenobia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:He...lz-Zenobia.jpg
Capital: Palmyra
Need a little help with the uniques though.
In the 13 years their splinter empire lasted I'm not sure how much you can tease out.
However, the wiki entry on the Battle of Immae (which they lost) states:Emphasis is mine, and highlights potential UU and UA (i.e. make them a sort of Iroquois of the desert?).Both armies took the field near Antioch at Immae in traditional battle formations with infantry in the center and cavalry on the flanks. Zabdas had two big advantages at his disposal; first was the superiority of his cataphracts and the second was the extreme heat the Romans were not adapted to.
Edit: I see Byzantium got to the Cataphract first. Well from the wiki entry on the Battle of Emesa (which they also lost):Clibanarii are in their respective article described as:As at Immae, the Palmyrene heavy cavalry (the clibanarii) was superior to the Roman equivalent.Similar to the cataphracti, the horsemen themselves and their horses were fully armoured.The Clibanarii were used mostly by Eastern armies; for example, they were used by the Palmyrene Empire, and fought against the Roman cavalry at Immae and Emesa. Sassanids employed Clibanarii in their western armies, mainly against the Eastern Roman empire. They were more heavily armoured than their Byzantine counterparts.

Big White Boat Sunk Posted by Meelickman
Again I must eat my words Looking at the sad sight early in the new year, I spotted a note on the window, indicating that the boat was due to be removed in November 11, signed, and giving a mobile number for any enquiries. It seems somebody is at least involved with it. It would have been very difficult to move it during the high waters in November, and maybe the sinking overtook their plans? Not for the first time, I've learnt that there is always 2 sides (At least) to every story. My new year resolution is to try not to jump to conclusions until I at least know most of the facts Regards Peter
Quote: A cynic would suggest that the note was intended to play for time. Why (I don't know the area) would it be so difficult to move the boat - surely a boat that size would have powerful engines? WI are being remarkably tolerant... Another puzzle for me is why it keeps sinking? Rain etc? No significant frost this winter so hardly a through hull fitting? John
Quote: Hi John. Well, putting your name and telephone no. up is a brave move. Up to then one could remain "invisible". There can be no way that her engines are serviceable at this stage. After so many sinkings and near sinkings, I'm sure they are scrapped. The boat is basically an empty shell. I've been contradicted before, but I still maintain that the size and weight of her precludes any amateur attempt at towing against the current in the winter. As I mentioned, I no longer claim to know any of the background or circumstances of the owner. There may well be very good reasons why it hasn't been attended to. It could well be that they deserve our sympathy? Regards Peter
I didn't originally read this thread, but have just done so. Boy, thats some boat to be left abandoned. Bound to be worth something to an old retired man like me to phooter at. Although frankly this old retired man has at least 10 years of phootering laid out ahead of him, all those unfinished projects from the last 40 years..
Quote: Hi Peter, please can I have some of your pills? Tina [www.wasserrausch.de] When the wind of change blows, some build walls, others build windmills.
Quote: Tina. Actually, a week cruising L Derg during the curent weather did it! Speaking of big white boats, anyone in that area might have a look in Dromann harbour. The sailing vessel "Imman" has her big brothers visiting Regards Peter
Quote: Hi Peter. Are the big brothers also sailing yachts? I've find Imraam's permanent presence in Dromaan (apart from a brief visit to Mountshannon last season - I think) annoying. It occupies a (the) prime spot to port as you enter the harbour. Beats me why WI cannot warp her over to the N corner (Williamstown side) out of the way. John Yacht Breakaway Edited 1 time(s). Last edit at 14/01/2012 18:55 by John.Kinsella1.
Quote: Hi John, No. One is a cruiser. The other I suspect was a Trawler in a previous life I would love to know how it got to Dromaan. If it came up through Limerick, the silting cannot have been too bad Regards Peter
Its a trawler alright its been on Derg a long time now the guy who owns it also keeps a large wooden open boat in Scarriff in the winter, it can be seen at various times either tied to the pier in Toumgreaney , Mountshannon or Drommann. Imraam has been in Droman for about 15 years according to the owner a guy from Mountshannon said to me when I asked that the harbour was "his" W.I know who he is but just seem to let him be probably because he's local. On Derg the dog's in the streets know who the hoggers are so one assumes WI do to especially as they are their customers for winter mooring, Irish logic for you. AJ
By special request an update on the Big White Boat The vessel is listing heavily and is ready to sink again If you are travelling to Meelick over the Eeaster be wary of mooring alongside this vessel The little white boat is also still here so very little wall room avalible when you add the 60 odd feet of the J&M You are welcome to come alonside the J&M With low water levels the Old Quay can be shallow Now Joe just for you Donal

Knights Of The Abyss
While Arizona's Knights of the Abyss have tough competition in fellow scenesters All Shall Perish, Despised Icon, Job for a Cowboy, and others, Juggernaut is mildly enjoyable for what it is – a clinical deathcore album that meets the subgenre's requirements. However, though in tune with what the Candlelight/S.o.A.R. marriage has birthed in the past, it's difficult recommending the not-so-aptly-titled Juggernaut over anything from the above-listed bands, or even the Prosthetic contingent consisting of speedy, emotion-free technical death metallers Beneath the Massacre and Through the Eyes of the Dead. As a matter of fact, there's no reason to pick this up if you're acquainted with deathcore already, and if you aren't…well, you probably don't like it anyway.
The introductory, if inflated, title track is moving – think orchestral involvement a la Dimmu Borgir – but it's "Emancipation" that truly encapsulates the KotA sound. Vocals come in the form of growls, screams, shouts, and squeals, while the cold, angular instrumentation includes breakdowns, intertwining riffs/double-bass offerings, and plenty of tempo changes. And honestly, compositions such as "Karmageddon," "Hell Bent," "Gridlock," and others down the line are evenly matched because each has hints of personality and know-how, though not enough to captivate except in a casual, superficial fashion. Otherwise, the production is great, and the musicianship leaves no room to complain either.
This debut pales in comparison to efforts from forerunners despite having a few bright spots scattered throughout its 36-minute length. It's not as if Knights of the Abyss missed the mark necessarily; it's that there are superior records out there in the exact same vein, which, stylistically speaking, is beginning to show its limitations, because aside from the usual influx of formulaic imitators, the deathcore blueprint is evidently being followed too closely. Or perhaps it doesn't lend itself to experimentation. In any case, steer clear of Juggernaut, although one could admittedly do much, much worse.

this subject may have been discussed before, if it has, i missed it. Has anyone ever forced bulbs? I have an article on it and it says to start them in the dark. Can I put them in a closet? The article says to start them in an attic or a mudroom. An attic gets very little light, but I've had a mudroom and it has windows and light. I want to try this, I've never done it before, but this article has me confused. TIAThis message has been edited. Last edited by: Barb in Mississippi, | |||
Forcing bulbs is easy, as long as you follow the steps. The chill time is the most important. There are large numbers of articles on the web about forcing bulbs, some good, some not very good. Perhaps this one, from the University of Minnesota might be of some help. http://www.extension.umn.edu/d...iculture/dg1116.html The sign of a good gardener is not a green thumb, it is brown knees. | ||||
thanks Barb and KimmSr... i wanted to know about this too. hope its not too late in january to start the hyacinth pot method. i'm going to put the bulbs i bought yesterday in the frig right now. then i'll figure out where to go from here. | ||||
thanks, KimmSr and bana, but i really wanted to hear from someone who has had personal experience forcing bulbs. talking to someone who has done this is alot better than reading an article with directions on what to do. | ||||
i agree there are lots of sites to google up. anyone here have personal experience doing this? inquiring minds want to know. | ||||
I used to force Daffodils, Narcissus, Tulips, and Amarylis every year, until they started to adversly affect my Asthma (although it took a few years to understand why I was having problems). We have no attic that we can access easily, no mudroom, only a 12 x 12 cellar where the furnace, water heater, and water pump are, so most of the time the pots were placed in the garage for a few weeks (unattached and unheated) before being brought in the house. Follow the directions from a good web site and you should have no problems. Forcing bulbs is simple since those bulbs want to grow and blossom. I have even seen them try to grow and blossom with no soil around them. The sign of a good gardener is not a green thumb, it is brown knees. | ||||
Barb, I really wish some of us could help you. I've never forced any bulbs except those you buy in the containers, like amaryllis & paperwhites. There really shouldn't be that much difference between using your own bulbs and doing that. Good luck with your experiment. I'd say take Kimms advice, follow directions from a good website and go for it. ve | ||||
Thanks every one. I am going to follow the directions of the website that KimmSr. provided. I went to Lowe's and HD today and they don't have any bulbs until next month, so i did find just an amaryllis bulb. The only problem with forcing an amaryllis, I really don't feel like I'm forcing it and they grow sooooo tall. KimmSr. do I keep it in a dark closet or out in the light? this is what it looks like now. | ||||
I have forced bulbs in the past. The chill time is important. I tried to layer them in a very large container--daffodils, hyacinths, muscari, etc. The container was brought into the garage and the soil froze. The bulbs froze and rotted. Maybe I gave them too much water to start, but the pot had adequate drainage. I don't know. I am in zone 5 and would not recommend that to anyone in my area. In the past, I have also potted up bulbs and put them down in the basement (actually my mother's basement) until I saw growth and then brought them up into the light and warmth. The basement was not that cold but that method worked well for my mother year after year. If you have a greenhouse or nursery in your area, why not ask them what they would do since so many of them force daffodils, hyacinths, etc for Easter each year. | ||||
Have you seen or heard about this use of alcohol in the water, to help dwarf the stem? http://slapphappe.wordpress.co...n-alcohol-revisited/ I recall reading here on this site, about using vodka to keep paper whites from getting too tall. No personal experience, but just passing it on. | ||||
Thanks, conrad! I'm going to take out some of the marbles and use a 3% solution of alcohol. I've never heard of it, either, but I will definitely try it. | ||||
Barb, I think the chilling time is more important than darkness. The garage had only one small window (about 2 x 2), but the door was opened at least twice a day when the car was moved in or out (or is that out or in) or when we needed to get something from the garage such as the snow blower, so the potted up bulbs were exposed to some light frequently. That never seemed to have an adverse affect on them. The sign of a good gardener is not a green thumb, it is brown knees. | ||||
i'm wondering if it is too late to be doing this now. i do have my bulbs in the frig. but for how long is the question since i don't know if they were previously chilled. i seriously doubt that they were so will assume they weren't. i'll leave them there at least till the end of january now that i've read what you, KimmSr, say about chilling. barb.. are you going to chill yours? | ||||
I've never chilled an amaryllis bulb before and I really don't think I need to now. I guess if it were a different kind of bulb, I would. Everytime, I've ever planted an amaryllis, I always made sure it was in the sun and had plenty of sun. Could the lack of soil make it need chilling? If you guys think I should, I'll put the whole think in the fridge. | ||||
barb, this says you don't need to pre-chill your amaryllis bulb. http://www.dutchgardens.com/forcing_bulbs.asp | ||||
I had my amaryllis outside last summer. In the fall, I took the entire pot and put it in the basement and forgot about it. The leaves died and the plant rested. About a week ago I noticed that it was sending up a leaf, so I brought it upstairs and it is now growing at about the rate of an inch a day. Hyacinths, daffodils, muscari, etc need to be chilled. I'd still ask a local nursery about what to do. Easter is early this year, so I would guess that they are already in the process of chilling their bulbs. | ||||
thanks, bana. I didn't think that I had to chill this one. | ||||
I agree with 16paws about the hyacinths and daffs needing to be chilled. To force an amaryllis, it needed to be in the dark and no water for a time in the fall, then bring in light and water for it to bloom around Chris--tmas. At this time of year it will bloom on its own around early March. It needs no chilling time. | ||||
thanks, amaryllis6. i kinda figured that i didn't have to chill the bulb. if it had been a hyacinth bulb or a daff, i would have chilled it. how long does the amaryllis bulb need to be kept in the dark? | ||||
My amaryllis that are planted in the ground have about 1" of new growth. They usually bloom in March. And all of them are thanks to Sorie/Silly Bird! "The soil is the source of life, creativity, culture and real independence." David Ben-Gurion | ||||
Karen I hope they bloom again this yr!!! Wondered if you still have them Carlene | ||||
Looked up some info and read this. Stop feeding in Aug. Let rest in dark place Sept. and Oct. If you want a bloom around Dec. 25th, count back 10 to 12 weeks and start watering. That would be about the middle of Oct. I tried a few years ago and was not successful. I just let mine bloom when they want to. Most are in the ground and bloom Mar. to Apr. | ||||
So far, so good. There are a couple of the small bulbs that haven't shown up yet, but they might just be starting later. "The soil is the source of life, creativity, culture and real independence." David Ben-Gurion | ||||

Recap: Cardinals 1, Dodgers 0
Updated On: Oct 12 2013 04:57:28 PM MDT
Cardinals 1, Dodgers 0: Michael Wacha outdueled Clayton Kershaw as host St. Louis grabbed a 2-0 lead over Los Angeles in the National League Championship Series.Wacha (1-0) scattered five hits while striking out eight in 6 2/3 innings and Jon Jay pushed across the lone run with a sacrifice fly in the fifth for the Cardinals, who took the first game 3-2 in 13 innings Friday. The series shifts to Los Angeles for Game 3 on Monday.Kershaw (0-1) struck out five and walked one but was charged with an unearned run on two hits in six innings. Adrian Gonzalez, Yasiel Puig and Juan Uribe combined to go 0-for-11 with nine strikeouts through the middle of the order.St. Louis squandered a chance to score after Matt Carpenter's leadoff triple in the first but had better luck in the fifth, when David Freese led off with a ground-rule double to left. Freese moved up on a passed ball and scored easily on Jay's fly to left.The Dodgers came right back in the sixth and loaded the bases, but Wacha struck out Puig and Uribe to snuff out the threat. Three relievers bridged the gap to Trevor Rosenthal, who struck out the side for his first save of the series.GAME NOTEBOOK: Dodgers SS Hanley Ramirez (bruised ribs) was replaced in the starting lineup by Nick Punto while Skip Schumaker got the nod over CF Andre Either (ankle). … Cardinals 1B Allen Craig (left foot), who has yet to play in the postseason, could join the roster and serve as DH if St. Louis advances to the World Series. … Los Angeles will turn to LHP Hyun-Jin Ryu in Game 3 while the Cardinals will counter with RHP Adam Wainwright.
