US Statements Could Jeopardize Uganda Peace Talks
Finally the international community seemed to have reached a consensus that the North-South Divide in Uganda is both cause and consequence of the 21-year conflict.
[Africa News Update]
Recent statements made by the US Assistant Secretary of State for African Affairs, Dr. Jendayi Frazer; the Arusha agreement between the Government of Uganda and Congo DRC; responses from the LRA have all been provocative and could lead to confrontation.
In my Weekly Observer interview, Thursday, September 13-19, 2007, I warned about mistrust between the parties that could fail the Juba Peace Talks. While US statements may have been well intentioned, they could have been misunderstood. In my view, the US should be encouraging both parties to overcome their mutual mistrust, embrace the Juba Peace Talks fully and show visible commitment towards comprehensive and broad reconciliation in Uganda.
In my letter to the US President George W. Bush dated May 29th 2005; I appreciated American leadership in "humanitarian assistance to the vulnerable populations" of Northern Uganda.
I also recognized the "authority and clout of the US Government over all key parties and stakeholders in the Northern Uganda conflict… that is why many of us people of faith and the civilian population in Northern Uganda who have borne the brunt of the suffering have been disappointed that the United States has not been more forthright on behalf of peaceful dialogue and mediation for the sake of the people".
I beseeched President Bush to appoint a US Peace Envoy who would have been guarantor of the Betty Bigombe Mediation 2004 and would have helped bring the conflict to an end.
In her reply to me on behalf of President George W. Bush dated July 26 2005, Assistant Secretary of State for African Affairs, Constance B. Newman, assured me that "President Bush and Secretary Rice are very aware of the problems in northern Uganda and are doing everything they can to stop the fighting". However, Ms Newman did not believe that "the appointment of a special 'peace envoy' for northern Uganda would be effective at this time. Minister Bigombe has earned the trust and confidence of the Government of Uganda, the LRA, and the international community uniquely positioning her to serve as the best hope for a peace settlement. We will continue to support her efforts in brokering a permanent end to the insurgency."
Two years on, a US Peace Envoy is now being advocated for by among others US Senator Russ Feingold. I have had the privilege of meeting Sen. Feingold recently in Gulu together with Ambassador Browning.
As I mentioned in my Weekly Observer interview, if there is to be total peace with justice in Uganda, the Juba Peace Talks must simultaneously or subsequently continue into broad national reconciliation in Uganda. It is important, in this regard, to recall the observation of Johnnie Carson, former US Ambassador to Uganda, during a debate on the future of Uganda at the Woodrow Wilson Center, Washington DC, June 2005, where Hon Dr. Ruhakana Rugunda represented Uganda Government:
"Unlike most of Southern Uganda, there has been virtually no economic growth or development in the northern part of the country since Museveni's rise to power. In fact, social conditions and personal security have worsened in a number of northern communities.
Until the Ugandan government is able to build better relations between north and south and to bring development projects and outside investment into the northern communities in the same manner as it has done in the south, the LRA will continue to find the handful of willing recruits to help carry out rape, mutilations, pillaging and burning of villages that continue to devastate that part of the country"
Finally the international community seemed to have reached a consensus that the North-South Divide in Uganda is both cause and consequence of the 21-year conflict. The other dimensions such as education disparity and deprivation, intergenerational trauma and poor mental health, destroyed livelihoods and public health menace, economic regression, poverty, stigmatization and a sense of national rejection have been no less lethal. They need to be addressed holistically through genuine national reconciliation.
Remarkably, even the USAID Request for Proposal (RFP) No. 617-07-006, "Stability, Peace and Reconciliation in Northern Uganda (Spring)", posted on the web on August 24, 2007 has observed:
"The North remains the poorest region in Uganda today, lagging behind on all socio-economic indicators. Given the historical North/South Divide in the country, these consequences of war are particularly important to the ongoing dynamics of the conflict and the potential for peace in the region".
Coming from the US, one of Uganda Government's biggest and most important development partners and allies in the fight against global terrorism, these observations reveal US recognition that the NRM Government needs to reconcile with communities in Northern and Eastern Uganda concretely. However, a comprehensive and genuine reconciliation across the North-South Divide in Uganda must include all Ugandans living in the Diaspora, whether as political exiles or for economic and other reasons.
It is for this reason that I am an integral part of a proposal for reconciliation between H.E President Museveni and Mr. Olara A. Otunnu who has charged that genocide has unfolded in Northern Uganda on the watch of the NRM Government and the international community. At the beginning of this year 2007, I took the initiative to appeal, in writing, to the Honorable James A. Baker III, former US Secretary of State, and the Honorable Andrew Young, former US Ambassador to the UN, to be reconciliation mediators between President Museveni and Olara Otunnu in the US.
According to a Luo traditional wisdom saying, "latong pa latek ladit wade aye omo" which translates as "an important item belonging to a wise elder", in this case the axe, a very important tool to the Luo of Northern Uganda, "can only be entrusted to another wise and trustworthy elder". In this context, therefore, Mr. James A. Baker III and Ambassador Andrew Young are such eminent and wise elders who can be trusted by both the US and Uganda Governments, in reality the two parties with the key to peace with justice in Northern Uganda and reconciliation across the North/South Divide.
Thus far, the Juba Peace Process had inspired a lot of confidence in the civilian population in Northern Uganda. Many had begun the return home from the IDP Camps. The Government of Uganda had made a public statement that the Juba Peace Process had reached a point of no return. People had begun to move freely in the villages without fear.
But recent statements threatening the Peace Talks have raised anxiety, fear and confusion in the minds of the civilian population. This reminds me of a story.
The Luo people of Northern Uganda tell of a loving mother who rose up early at 4:00 am, balanced the water pot on her head and went to fetch water from the river 15 miles away. She returned after midday, very tired. Her thirsty children were very excited because their mother had finally brought water with which to quench their thirst and cook food. Unfortunately at the threshold of the African hut, there was nobody to help their loving mother lower the water pot, enter the house and put it safely down. In her lone efforts, the water pot slipped from her hands and fell into pieces right at the door step! The loving mother lost both the water and the water pot. She was left only with her exhaustion and great disappointment. In pain, she watched her children's thirst and hunger: there was no water with which to prepare them lunch. It is from this experience that the Luo people of Northern Uganda came up with a saying, "agulu pii too i dogola" (the water pot breaks at the door step).
Likewise, the civilian population in Northern Uganda has great fear that the Juba Peace Talks could also fail at this critical stage like the water pot that breaks at the door step!
To the Government of Uganda:
· I therefore want to appeal to the Ugandan Government, first of all, not to betray the hopes, expectations and commitment of the people of Uganda, especially in Northern and Eastern Uganda who have had high hopes in the Juba Peace Process and had started going home from IDP camps.
· Second, I call upon the Government of Uganda to be resolute about peaceful resolution of the 21-year long festering conflict in Northern and Eastern Uganda.
· Third, I ask Government officials and spokespersons to speak with one voice for peace and reconciliation and avoid uncoordinated and provocative statements.
To the US Government:
· I appeal to the US Government, especially the Bush Administration, to be a robust supporter and partner of the Juba Peace Process from a template of peace, not of war. Such peace template was clearly spelt out by former US Ambassador to Uganda, Jimmy Kolker, in his IRIN News interview on March 26, 2004. Ambassador Kolker called for dialogue between the Government of Uganda and the LRA and drew a distinction between LRA and Al-Qaeda.
· If the US had operated from such a peace template, by now the Bush Administration would have succeeded in giving peace to Northern Uganda as a parting gift. This would have been another African success of the Bush Administration as the Comprehensive Peace Agreement (CPA) in Southern Sudan. Without the CPA, the ongoing Juba Mediation between Government of Uganda and the LRA would not have been possible.
· On Resettlement: I have appreciated US leadership in humanitarian assistance to Northern Uganda in the past. In the same way, I appreciate the announcement of $110 million the US Congress will make available for resettlement in Northern Uganda according to press reports. However, I wish to add that a successful resettlement first requires a comprehensive, multidisciplinary and multi-sectoral assessment of the impact of the 21-year conflict.
Northern Uganda--a deep septic wound:
An analogy of a deep septic wound is appropriate to the 21-year conflict. The edges stretch from West Nile through Karamoja to Teso. However, the sorest spots of this deep septic wound are in the Acholi sub region including parts of Lango sub region.
Thus treating such a wound requires both an internal injection of antibiotics as well as external dressing and bandaging. There first needs to be a comprehensive, multidisciplinary and multi-sectoral assessment if the announced US $110 million will not be merely an external bandage. Otherwise, haphazard resettlement without prior assessment will do more harm than good to an already war weary and traumatized population.
Unfortunately, we do not have such an institutional capacity locally to undertake such a massive comprehensive assessment. But the US has many such capacities in universities and institutions. I was privileged to have met in Gulu, April 15-19, 2007, the Director and Program Manager of the Forced Migration Program and Health of the Mailman School of Public Health, Columbia University, New York. Columbia University is willing and capable of putting together a highly technical and scientifically sound multi-disciplinary, multi-sectoral assessment team in mental, public health and livelihood systems, education, and sustainable development sensitive to culture and indigenous knowledge systems in collaboration with local or national institutions.
I strongly appeal to the US Government to include sponsorship of a multi disciplinary assessment team from Columbia University as part of the $110 million budget for resettlement in Northern and Eastern Uganda. After Columbia's assessment, a stakeholders' conference should be held in Northern Uganda. This should comprise representatives of Central Government, Local Government and Councils, Members of Parliament, Religious and Cultural leaders, Women, Youth and Children to make inputs to the assessment findings and conclusions.
These can then be submitted to the Government of Uganda and Donors so that the resettlement can proceed on a more informed and scientific basis.
To the LRA:
· I appeal to the LRA to realize that the people of Uganda, in particular Northern and Eastern Uganda, have suffered because of them and on their account for far too long.
· I therefore appeal to the LRA not to betray the hopes and expectations of the "thirsty and hungry children of Northern and Eastern Uganda who have waited for 21 years for their loving mother to return home with water from the river far, far away!"
To the International Community:
I appreciate the contribution and confidence building measures of the UN Peace Envoy, Dr. Joachim Chissano, and former Mozambican President. I acknowledge the partnering efforts with the Juba Peace Process of the five African Union (AU) countries: Kenya, Tanzania, DRC, South Africa, and Mozambique.
· I therefore appeal to the international community to encourage peaceful approach to all conflict transformation in Northern Uganda, Southern Sudan and all the conflict areas in the Great Lakes and Horn of Africa Regions.

Endings and Beginnings
In the grand scheme of things, there's no such thing as a "new year." Nor are there "weeks" or "months" really. I know these are just convenient constructs for the human mind to wrap around something complex and inexorable like "time."
Yet even knowing this, I can't help but get a little nostalgic this time of year. The idea of one thing ending and another thing beginning brings to mind, well, this one thing ending and this other thing beginning, but in a nostalgic way.
I speak, as I so often do, of Star Wars.
After 8 1/2 years, December 15th was the last day of the well-conceived, poorly-run MMO Star Wars: Galaxies. It ended as the new Star Wars MMO, The Old Republic, began its long-awaited roll out to the world.
This brings to mind many questions regarding the impact digital universes have on our real lives. I played SWG for about 2 years. I remember a few of my character's names, but not all. I fondly remember many escapades, and exploring beloved Star Wars worlds and cities. But as I searched for screenshots taken during all that time played, I slowly, sadly realized I had deleted them long ago. Those characters I built, mere digital creations, now exist only in my analog memory. I can imagine how heartbreaking it would be for those who had played since 2003. Not just the characters they'd created, but the houses built and businesses established, now all gone.
Is that sadness and loss any less real because the characters were virtual? Not to me. People get upset when sports teams win or lose, and they don't play for that team, don't know any of the players, often don't even live in the cities they represent. Are sports players on a TV screen that much more "real" than avatars created and honed through hundreds of hours of gameplay? In this capacity, I'd argue no.
The brilliance of MMO's, though, is actually the social aspect. The virtual worlds are populated by real people. Like in life, some of them are twits, some of them are twats, but most often they're decent people trying for a stretch to escape reality. Instead of talking to friend on the phone, talk to them in-game while you're doing something. You meet new people all the time while playing, and occasionally they can become new friends.
Then what? Many times these friends remain in the virtual world. Other times, they download into reality. After Hurricane Katrina a friend's guild (an in-game player association) got together to send food and supplies to their members displaced by the storm. Many of the people in the guild had never met in real life, yet banded together to help their guildmates. This virtual world/real world crossover isn't rare. I can speak of this first hand.
Years after losing touch with a friend from college, we ran into each other by chance. After finding out we both played Galaxies, we started catching up in-game. This lead to catching up in real life and now he's one of my best friends. Without Galaxies, we probably wouldn't even know each other, remaining "that guy I knew in college." By the time we stopped playing Galaxies, (him dragging me kicking and screaming into 4 years of Warcraft), it didn't even occur to us that the game had been the vehicle of our reconnection.
Now, all these years later, we have a new Star Wars MMO. Lives change, free time dissipates. Sure it'd be great if we all had the free time we did in college and right after, to hang out and do whatever or nothing as we saw fit. That's not how life goes, sadly. So instead, when we can, we meet up in a virtual world for an hour or two, chat a bit, and kill some aliens, before getting sucked back into the real world by work or life or angry spouses.
He and I play, and we've brought several of our real-world friends — with their own busy lives — to play TOR with us. Maybe schedules and spouses permit some nights out like the old days, but in the interim, we have a few hours here and there shooting at womp rats and annoying Jedi. Not a replacement for the real world, but a welcome addition to it.
So as much as I'd gladly play 48 hours straight of TOR this weekend, I've instead invited those same friends and spouses over for my traditional Morrison New Year's Eve party, which involves zero Star Wars and lots of drinking.
OK, maybe a little Star Wars.
For some touching end-of-universe videos, Rock Paper Shotgun has an excellent compilation. There's also a nifty SWG Memory Book available as a HUGE pdf on the Galaxies website. It's worth downloading for anyone who played.

Schulz 'Good Stuff' Fertilizer is the very best fertilizer,
whether synthetic, natural or organic.
'Good Stuff'
Fertilizer is quite different and superior to other fertilizers. Providing the proper nutrients in the proper amounts and proper proportions at the proper time in the growth cycle of the plant is just one aspect. More important is the revitalization and colonization of the organisms that live in the soil, that do the work, that cause those nutrients to become solubilized and made available to the desired crop. Nutrients are released at a constant and consistent measured rate over a longer period of time throughout the growing season. The release rate insures proper cellular development and plant health. No forced growth.
Our proprietary formula invigorates and feeds soil organisms and creates a soil environment that causes plant roots to grow as much as 30% larger and longer than can be achieved with other fertilizers. The resulting increase in soil fertility allows healthier more vigorous plants with bigger, longer, deeper roots to out compete weeds without employing dangerous chemicals. Roots are key to plant health.
The resulting density of the turf actually forces out weeds and keeps them out. Realizing that weeds are opportunistic; not invasive, then turf density is an effective preventative against weeds. Chemicals become unnecessary.
Whether starting a new lawn or repairing your existing lawn, all-natural Good Stuff Lawn Food could be the missing ingredient to your lawn care routine.You put a lot of time and energy into making sure your lawn looks great, but do you know what condition your lawn's soil is in? Your soil's ability to promote turf growth can be impacted by many factors including fertilizers, insecticides, and fungicides. All of these do impact the living microorganisms found in your lawn's soil.
Chemicals are overused today. It is time for a correction. A lush green lawn depends on healthy living soil, the kind that is filled with an abundance of living micro-organisms. Fertilizers feed the plant, Good Stuff Lawn Food feeds the soil and grows the root structure of the turf, just like Mother Nature Intended.
There are a lot of ways to take care of your lawn. But having Schulz Organics keep it thick, green and healthy is the wise choice for today's busy homeowners. In fact, many of your neighbors have relied on our professional results for years. Great lawns made easy…that's the real Schulz Organics difference.

The ideal fertilizer should be designed to completely fulfill the nutritional requirements of the plant it serves.
three major components
of a typical fertilizer are
Nitrogen, Phosphorus, and Potassium
; often referred to by their chemical symbols
"N", "P", and "K".
Thus a fertilizer with a guaranteed analysis of 9-0-5 would consist of 9% Nitrogen (N), 0% Phosphorus (P2O5), and 5% Potassium(K2O).
Mineral nutrients are classified as major, secondary, and minor elements. No one essential nutrient is of greater importance than any other. All of the essential elements are necessary for proper development of turfgrass, but the major and secondary elements are needed in larger quantities than the minor elements.
Major Elements:
Nitrogen, Phosphorus, and Potassium
Nitrogen is an essential part of all living matter. It is the basis for amino acids, which combine to form proteins. Nitrogen is associated with above ground vegetation growth and density of turf, as well as its deep green color. Deficiency is noticed in turf that has turned light green or yellow. The blades start dying at the tip and progress along the midrib until the entire leaf is dead.
Phosphorus is the key nutrient in seeding development since it contributes so much to initial root development and seed formation. It is directly related to the vital growth process. Deficiency is most likely to be observed in seedling growth when new seedlings are slow to develop. On established grasses the leaves tend to turn purple.
Potassium otherwise known as potash is found in large quantities in the plant. Potassium is associated with winter hardiness and disease resistance in turf. Deficiency will appear in the blades becoming streaked with yellow, turn brown at the tips and eventually die. Susceptibility to disease and winter injury is also increased.
Secondary Elements:
Sulfur, Calcium, and Magnesium
A soil may be alkaline, acidic or essentially neutral. The alkalinity or acidity of a soil is measured by its pH.
All pH values occur somewhere in a scale running from 0 to 14. A pH of 7 is neutral with numbers less than 7 indicating acidity and numbers over 7 being alkaline. It is commonly accepted that a pH range of 6.5 to 7 is good for raising turfgrasses. This is because overall nutrient availability is at its maximum in this range. Any time the pH strays too far from this range the nutrients become less available and more difficult for the plant to utilize.
It is possible to improve soil pH by adding high-calcium lime to acidic soils or by adding sulfur, in various forms, to alkaline soils. It is wise to have a soil test run to determine if the pH needs to be raised, lowered, or left as is.
Sulfur is an essential part of certain amino acids and proteins. Together with nitrogen this element makes new protoplasm, which enables plant cell growth. Deficiency is similar to that of nitrogen in that the leaves will turn light green or yellow, and then turn brown and eventually die.
Minor Elements:
Iron, Manganese, Copper, Boron,
Chlorine,Molybdenum, and Zinc
Iron plays an integral part in chlorophyll production and is also a part of many enzymes. It is responsible for giving turf its deep green color. Deficiency symptoms include chlorotic or even white young leaves due to a reduction or loss of chlorophyll.

The Grass is Greener ... and Safer!
Lawns may have been invented in Europe, but they've reached their apotheosis in North America. For those in the U.S. of A, that green, green grass ranks right up there with apple pie, backyard barbecues and softball. For Canadians it's proof of place, both a responsibility and a privilege, like wearing decent clothes when you leave the house. Keep your teeth clean and your grass green. In the lower 48 states and much of southern Canada, grass is practically an obsession.
The problem with the perfect lawn is that it wreaks havoc on both your wallet and the environment. Between 30 and 40 million acres of land in the U.S. are devoted to turfgrass (see Curbing the Lawn), and Americans collectively spend big bucks -- about $40 billion annually -- on seed, sod and chemicals. In Canada, which has around one tenth the population of the U.S., sales from all lawn and garden products have risen steadily over the past five years, to over $2 billion by 2007. Click on "Canadian lawns and gardens: Where are they the 'greenest'?" for more on this.
Much of that money goes to products that "help" grass only in the most superficial ways and that degrade the soil, pollute any water they reach, and pose serious health threats to humans, their pets, and any wildlife in the area, including birds. As people become aware of these facts, attitudes towards conventional fertilizers and pesticides are beginning to change. In Canada, over 130 communities and two entire provinces have passed laws severely restricting pesticide use, so homeowners and city park services are going organic perforce. In the U.S., where municipalities in many states lack the power to pass such comprehensive laws, a number of cities and towns have restricted the use of pesticides on school grounds or in parks. Furthermore, while many pesticides remain legal in the States, more and more people are becoming aware of the strain that they place on the eco-system. All across North America, people are not only considering going green, but whether the perfect lawn is worth the long-term environmental price we're paying for it.
Tip: Considering organic lawn care for a healthy, beautiful yard? If so, I suggest Planet Natural for their large selection and competitive prices.
Many of us have inherited our lawns and our ideas about how to care for them from an earlier era, when pesticides seemed safe and water inexhaustible. Since the mid-1950s, when the ideal of the weed-free carpet-like lawn took shape, pesticides -- meaning insecticides, herbicides, and fungicides -- have often been used routinely and preemptively, with the result that synthetic chemicals are often overused on lawns. In fact, one 1996 survey found that more pesticides are used on turfgrass than on any other ornamental (see Sustainable Turf Care).
We've inherited more than our maintenance standards and procedures; we've inherited the grass itself. Look around almost any town and you'll see Kentucky bluegrass, still one of the most prevalent grasses in North America. It makes for a beautiful lawn but requires enormous amounts of water, which hurts both the environment and your pocketbook. A Sustainable Landscaping presentation by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) estimates that watering lawns accounts for 30 to 60 percent of water consumption during the summer months.
There are other costs of planting a grass that isn't well suited to the land or its rainfall. We end up using tons of soil amendments, fertilizers and pesticides to keep things looking good. (Tons here is not just an expression. Estimates vary, but Americans dump approximately seventy million tons of fertilizer and seventy to ninety million pounds of pesticides on their lawns each year.)
Yet lawns, combined with gardens and other landscaping, do a lot of good. They muffle traffic and other noise pollution, and like all green plants, lawns help reduce carbon dioxide levels. They act as filters, removing pollutants from the air that we breath. And nothing beats grass as a place for kids to play.
Going organic doesn't mean you have to give up your lawn, and it certainly doesn't mean that you have to give up the rest of your life tending for your lawn. It means planting what will do well in your climate, watering deeply but infrequently, and avoiding the use of dangerous and expensive chemical fertilizers and pesticides. This site should help, whether you're ready to dive in head first, or just want to dip a toe in organic waters.
"A Chemical Reaction"
, is a 70 minute feature documentary movie that tells the story of one of the most powerful and effective community initiatives in the history of North America. It started with one lone voice in 1984. Dr. June Irwin, a dermatologist, noticed a connection between her patients' health conditions and their exposure to chemical pesticides and herbicides. With relentless persistence she brought her concerns to town meetings to warn her fellow citizens that the chemicals they were putting on their lawns posed severe health risks and had unknown side effects on the environment. This movie examines the lawsuit of a small town that passed a local ordinance prohibiting the application of weed and insect killers. (Run time of this short trailer is 3:44)

Going organic doesn't mean you have to give up your lawn, and it certainly doesn't mean that you have to give up the rest of your life tending for your lawn. It means planting what will do well in your climate, watering deeply but infrequently, and avoiding the use of dangerous and expensive chemical fertilizers and pesticides. This site should help, whether you're ready to dive in head first, or just want to dip a toe in organic waters.
The Goal Is To Improve the Soil and Thereby the Quality and Vigor of the Crop.
The goal of organic gardeners is to improve the soil and thereby improve the quality and vigor of the crop. To the homeowner this means growing a better lawn and garden.
For organic gardeners, creating a living soil, rich in humus and nutrients, is the key to growing great fruits and vegetables, abundant flowers, and long-lived ornamental trees and shrubs. The overall fertility and viability of the soil, rather than the application of fertilizers as quick fixes, is at the very heart of organic gardening.
But, like all gardeners, organic gardeners have to start somewhere. Your soil may be deficient in certain nutrients, it may not have excellent soil structure, or its pH may be too high or too low. Unless you've lucked into the perfect soil, you're going to have to work to make it ideal for gardening.
Chemical vs. Organic
Many organic materials serve as both fertilizers and soil conditioners—they feed both soils and plants. This is one of the most important differences between a chemical approach and an organic approach toward soil care and fertilizing. Soluble chemical fertilizers contain mineral salts that plant roots can absorb quickly. However, these salts do not provide a food source for soil microorganisms and earthworms, and will even repel earthworms because they acidify the soil. Over time, soils treated only with synthetic chemical fertilizers lose organic matter and the all-important living organisms that help to build a quality soil. As soil structure declines and water-holding capacity diminishes, more and more of the chemical fertilizer applied will leach through the soil. In turn, it will take ever-increasing amounts of chemicals to stimulate plant growth. When you use organic fertilizers, you avoid throwing your soil into this kind of crisis condition.
The manufacturing process of most chemical fertilizers depends on nonrenewable resources, such as coal and natural gas. Others are made by treating rock minerals with acids to make them more soluble. Fortunately, there are more and more truly organic fertilizers coming on the market. These products are made from natural plant and animal materials or from mined rock minerals. However, the national standards that define and distinguish organic fertilizers from chemical fertilizers are complicated, so it's hard to be sure that a commercial fertilizer product labeled "organic" truly contains only safe, natural ingredients. Look for products labeled "natural organic," "slow release," and "low analysis." Be wary of products labeled organic that have an NPK (nitrogen-phosphorus-potassium) ratio that adds up to more than 15. Ask a reputable garden center owner to recommend fertilizer brands that meet organic standards.
Using Organic Fertilizers
If you're a gardener who's making the switch from chemical to organic fertilizers, you may be afraid that using organic materials will be more complicated and less convenient than using premixed chemical fertilizers. Not so! Organic fertilizer blends can be just as convenient and effective as blended synthetic fertilizers. You don't need to custom feed your plants organically unless it's an activity you enjoy

Following in the spirit of Rachel Carson who wrote the book "Silent Spring" in 1962, forecasting the long term perils of chemical exposure, this video chronicles the efforts of Dr. June Irwin and her revelations of pesticide exposure.

Psalms 51:17 Jerusalem Bible: My sacrifice to God is a broken spirit, a broken and contrite heart.Psalms 34:18 The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.
Genesis 6:6-7 (NIV)
6 The Lord was grieved that he had made man on the earth, and his heart was filled with pain. 7 So the Lord said, "I will wipe mankind, whom I have created, from the face of the earth--men and animals, and creatures that move along the ground, and birds of the air--for I am grieved that I have made them."

Blog Problems
Sorry for the absence. Still working full time restoring old data onto my new hard drive, and I am working blindly on this blog because I can't see ANYTHING on my blog except for the words in the articles. I can't see the titles or pictures or anything on the right panel or the songs or comments. I can't even get into my comments to reply to someone's comments that I read as they came through my email for approval. It started when the Internet service provider came and replaced my modem which is SUPPOSED to be faster, but it's not, and the old modem would let us get online with 3 computers, and this one only lets one computer online. We had to find a way to get the other computers in the house online, so we spent a while researching whether to go wireless or not. The reviews said that the wireless router would slow down the Internet, but so far it has been FASTER! It has a built in firewall and security, unlike my neighbors whose systems I can see on my computer, and if I were a criminal, I could click on them and see what's on their computer. They must have older systems without security and firewalls. I still can't see anything on my blog, but I can see that at least it is trying to load it all, but it takes a longggg time. I'm proud of myself for wiring the house for wireless computers. I laugh when I think of them calling it "wireless". There are just as many wires with a wireless system as with a wired system. The only difference is that the wires are not connected to the computers, so we can put the computers anywhere in the house we want or even work on the patio if we want in the summer.
Still getting many tests to find out what the latest part of my body is to be attacked by lupus.
Blessings to you all! I pray for all who read my blog. Life might be getting worse from the financial crisis, but these events create strong values and good qualities in people. It brings people together to help each other. It makes people learn how to simplify their lives and think of cheaper ways to live. Cheaper ways to live are often ways that teach us many things. So may 2009 be a year full of learning and peace and smiles and growth!

After two years of planning, Palo Alto, Mountain View and Los Altos police departments last week officially rolled out a joint dispatch system, a virtual consolidation that allows all three cities to immediately share information, dispatch calls and communicate with first responders across city boundaries.
A Los Altos Police Department press release calls the upgrade "the most significant public safety information technology project that the three cities have undertaken in the past decade."
The project was first proposed in 2011, then approved by all three cities in 2012.
The $3-million cost is being split "proportionately" among the cities.
Previously, each city's police department used an independent computer aided dispatch (CAD) system. The new, consolidated Integraph system "increases efficiency, reduces response times, and improves the use of resources during mutual aid incidents or emergencies that cross jurisdictional boundaries," the press release reads.
Police said the system is "functioning as expected" and Integraph staff are staying on site during the initial rollout period to help with any issues that might arise.
The new system will allow the three communications centers to function in a coordinated manner. The Palo Alto Communications Center is the 9-1-1 public-safety answering point for both the City of Palo Alto and Stanford University. and dispatches for the Palo Alto Police and Fire departments, the Stanford University Department of Public Safety, Palo Alto Utilities, Palo Alto Public Works, Palo Alto Animal Services and park rangers with Palo Alto Open Space.
The Mountain View Emergency Communications Center takes 9-1-1 calls from for the City of Mountain View and provides dispatching services for the Mountain View Police and Fire departments and Mid-Peninsula Open Space District. It also provides after-hour communications for the city's Public Works Department.
The Los Altos Communications Center is the dispatch system for the City of Los Altos. It also provides after-hour communications for the city's Public Works Department.
Questions about the new system can be directed to Elizabeth Vargas, Los Altos Police services manager, at 650-947-2770.

If you happen to be a billionaire or corporate Fat Cat, you may have noticed a mob assembled near your headquarters or home recently. You may not know what they're protesting exactly; you might even joke that perhaps this has something to do with why they are unemployed. But when it comes to their complaint that the rich have been getting richer while things keep getting worse for the poor, downtrodden and unemployed, you gotta admit, they have a point.
While the stagnant economy continues to hurt those at the bottom of the American workforce, there's plenty of money for the .0001 percent at the top. (The compensation totals, compiled by Forbes' stats guru Scott DeCarlo, include salary, bonuses, perks and the value of exercised stock options through Sept. 6. Sources are CompuStat ExecuComp and SEC filings).
Compensation for the chief executives of America's biggest corporations is way up in 2011, 28 percent higher than last year on average, according to GovernanceMetrics International. If you were already in the top quartile of high-paid plutocrats, your comp nearly doubled. Cash bonuses are triple what they were before the recession.
Forbes.com slidesshow: America's 25 highest-paid ceos
But the Occupy Wall Street protesters are in the wrong place to picket the titans on this list. Wall Street is conspicuously absent from the top 10. The highest paid "bankster" is Jamie Dimon of JPMorgan Chase, who comes in 12th at $42 million, while Larry Fink of BlackRock is 16th at $39.9 million. Goldman Sachs' Lloyd Blankfein is way down at $21.7 million.
Many other bank chiefs are also below the S&P 500 CEO average — which for 2010 was $12 million, down 20 percent from 2007 levels. Bank of America's Brian Moynihan and Citigroup's Vikram Pandit are barely worth agitating against at $2.3 million and $1.3 million, respectively.
ObamaCare could end up helping three of the top-10 improve their lot in years to come. The top spot goes to John Hammergren of McKesson, the largest distributor of both pharmaceuticals and health care I.T. systems. It's thought to be in a good position to benefit from President Obama's health care overhaul. With compensation of $131 million this year (most of it from exercising stock options), Hammergren won't have to worry about waiting in line to see a doctor. Same goes for George Paz (fifth place at $51.5 million), who runs prescription drug distributor ExpressScripts as well as Stephen Hemsley (eighth place at $48.8) of UnitedHealth Group.
Forbes.com: America's most expensive zip codes
Polo sold enough shirts and chinos to pay Ralph Lauren $66.7 million — ranking him in second place on our list of top-paid CEOs. Still, the company's proxy says his perks in 2011 will be $344,000 less than last year, as "the corporation will no longer provide Mr. Lauren with unlimited reimbursement for expenses incurred as a result of his use of private aircraft for personal travel." They've capped that perk at $200,000 a year.
Michael Fascitelli of Vornado Realty is third, with compensation of $64.4 million. Bob Iger of Walt Disney (still enjoying the fruits of his Pixar acquisition) took in $53.3 million, is in fourth place.
Some among the top-10 are real standouts, like Michael Watford of Ultra Petroleum, at $43.7 million. Watford has had a great few years finding and developing oil and gas in places like Pennsylvania and Colorado, but the company he runs (market cap $4.5 billion) is far smaller than those of his pay peers, and Ultra shares are down by a third in the past year. Compared to Watford, ExxonMobil's Rex Tillerson, who didn't crack the top 25, sounds like a real bargain. The Big Oil chief made just $13.9 million.

The Philadelphia Eagles are going to get a look at rookie quarterback Nick Foles for some regular-season action, but they didn't want it to happen like this.
Michael Vick was taken to the locker room during Sunday's 38-23 loss to the Dallas Cowboys and and was diagnosed with a concussion. Vick also has an eye injury after being slammed to the turf by Cowboys nose tackle Jay Ratliff.
Eagles coach Andy Reid said after the game the team doesn't know the severity of the concussion and that Vick will be re-evaluated this week.
The Eagles only had Foles ready to go at quarterback, as third-stringer Trent Edwards was inactive and wide receiver Jason Avant, who serves as the emergency QB, was out with a hamstring injury.
Foles lit up the Eagles with a huge preseason performance. It remains to be seen if Vick will be available to play next week against the Washington Redskins, but this might be Foles' chance to grab the starting job for good. It's remarkable it took this long for Vick to leave a game this season considering the punishment that he's taken.Follow Gregg Rosenthal on Twitter @greggrosenthal.

Product Detail
Company Profile
Products List
Oral 2446-23-3 Raw Testosterone Powder Turinabol 99% For Male Sexual Dysfunction Treatment 1. Quick Detail Product name 4-Chlorodehydromethyltestosterone Other name turinabol CAS register number 2446-23-3 Molecular formula C20H27ClO2 Molecular weight 334.88 Molecular structure Assay 99% Appearance White crystalline powder Package 1kg/aluminium foil bag or as required Usage can be used as pharmaceutical material 2. Product description Background: Turinabol was developed in the 1960's when East German's were looking for an edge for their Olympic and competitive athletes. It is currently only obtainable through underground labs. Steroid Action: This is a slower acting steroid. When using Turinabol, weight, strength and muscle mass increases will not be overly dramatic; however, they will be of good quality. Turinabol also does not typically create risk for estrogenic side effects, so there is limited water retention or risk for gynecomastia. The user can obtain a hard look to their muscles due to limited water retention. It is 17-alpha alkylated which means it can be toxic to the liver. Turinabol can also lower the clotting ability of blood. If you really want to boost your natural testosterone levels, and receive all the benefits that come with it ie. greater muscle mass and strength, improved endurance, enhanced recovery etc. It is the most important product you will ever use!. Negative side effects are rare but can occur from cycles that are too long or high in dosage. Shutting off of one's own natural testosterone production and testicular tumors (extremely rare) are both side effects of such extreme cycles. User Notes: Recently, Oral-Turinabol has found its way back into the hands of athletes all over the world. It's the "new" sexy drug that's actually very old. It was the East German secret weapon when their sports doping program was at it's height. O-T, or T-bol as it's sometimes called, is a very nice strength and mass drug, and since it can't convert to estrogen, can even be used on a cutting diet. For this reason, it gets my "most versatile oral" award. Most users do fairly well with doses between 40 and 60 milligrams per day, taken in divided doses. Usage: pharmaceutical material, Steroid hormone, Anabolin. For the treatment of male hypogonadism and reduced sperm infertility. Packaging We have professional team for package and shipment. Special way to ship 100 ml to 100L liquids at one time to your country. Fast and discreet shipment could be arranged for customs pass Guaranteed.

I recently bought a PocketWizard Mini TT1 and a Flex TT5. When attaching a 430EX on the FlexTT5, I can set the shutter at 1/8000 and still get a correct exposure thanks to HyperSync.
However, when attaching the 430EX on top of the TT1 (so, on-camera with the TT1 in between and without using the TT5), the camera doesn't let me choose shutter speeds faster than 1/200, as if there was no HyperSync.
With the TT5 this works (on-camera). Is this by design? Do I need to use the Flex to get HyperSync on the camera-mounted flash (with or without additional radio-triggered flash)?
EDIT: as it seems also the TT5 forces 1/200 after the first calibration shot.
I'd prefer to use the MiniTT1 in such a configuration as it is much smaller...

"That era of American dominance is drawing to a close as the country's relative power declines, along with its ability to manage global economics and security.This does not mean the United States will go the way of Great Britain during the first half of the twentieth century. As Harvard's Stephen Walt wrote in this magazine last year, it is more accurate to say the "American Era" is nearing its end. For now, and for some time to come, the United States will remain primus inter pares–the strongest of the major world powers–though it is uncertain whether it can maintain that position over the next twenty years. Regardless, America's power and influence over the international political system will diminish markedly from what it was at the apogee of Pax Americana. That was the Old Order, forged through the momentous events of World War I, the Great Depression and World War II. Now that Old Order of nearly seven decades' duration is fading from the scene. It is natural that U.S. leaders would want to deny it–or feel they must finesse it when talking to the American people. But the real questions for America and its leaders are: What will replace the Old Order? How can Washington protect its interests in the new global era? And how much international disruption will attend the transition from the old to the new?" – Christopher Layne, "The End of Pax Americana: How Western Decline Became Inevitable," The Atlantic, April 26, 2012.
The last debate between President Barack Obama and Governor Mitt Romney was not a debate about the most pressing questions of the hour but a parade of American power. It was a charade of a debate. There is a greater range of opinion at a rally of a totalitarian political party, whether current or historical.
There was also no passion in their words. The spirits of Lincoln and Douglas are saying, "Where is the fire in your bellies? Where is the drama of a debate? Where is the great display of American common sense and wisdom?"
Both candidates reaffirmed the core myths and fallacies that have guided U.S. decision making and served as the ideological bedrock of U.S. foreign policy in the post-9/11 world. Here is a list of the key statements that were made in the debate in one form or another by both candidates: "America is the indispensable nation," "Israel is a true friend and our best ally" "Iran is the greatest national security threat," "We must support democracy in Syria and the Middle East," "Iran must not get a nuclear bomb."
Why are Obama and Romney so obsessed about creating democracy in Syria and preventing the emergence of nuclear weapons in Iran, but overlook the lack of democracy and the existence of nuclear weapons in Israel?
Why do Obama and Romney worship Israel and treat it as a nation that is above criticism, above America, and above the world? Why does a great nation like America bend its knee to Israel and submit to its will? The reason can't be to simply defend Israel in a volatile region because Israel has the means to defend itself.
And if volatility is the big worry, then why not change the current U.S. and Israeli policies that create volatility and hatred? U.S. and Israel reign through chaos and terror. This is the global reality. The world demands defense from USrael.
Israel is not a victim, so it is insane for American leaders to treat it like a victim and defend the indefensible in the process. Since its birth, Israel has chosen to endlessly wage war and commit aggression against its neighbours. It will pay the price for its criminal disregard of human rights and international law. Ruling by fear doesn't work forever.
One of the main themes of the debate was Iran. Both candidates threatened Iran with war, but they would've served America and the world better if they laid out the consequences of a war between USrael and Iran. They did not discuss the limits of U.S. military power in a possible war with Iran. Is this how responsible leaders act? How serious are they about their threats?
And why are both of them so anti-Iranian? We know it's not about the nuclear issue because Iran is not interested in acquiring nuclear weapons. Is the issue about regime change? Do they want to wipe the Islamic Republic and Islam off the consciousness of humanity? Do they want war with Iran even if it involves nuclear weapons? Are they sure America will emerge victorious in an apocalyptic clash with Iran and the world of Islam? And what will it take to achieve a favourable outcome for USrael in this stupid war: for example, the use of nuclear bombs on Iranian cities?
You can't just say, "Iran is the greatest national security threat," and leave it there. That is not good enough. The American people and the world deserve better from American leaders. Ultimately, we're talking about the possibility of nuclear war. Bob Schieffer referenced at the beginning of the debate the Cuban missile crisis, reminding both candidates what is at stake at the end of the day.
But nuclear war doesn't seem to phase Obama and Romney. Both men piled on Iran during the debate and bowed down to Israel like slaves. Obama talked about a "nuclear arms race" in the Middle East if Iran builds a nuclear weapon —- but what about Israel and Pakistan? The nuclear arms race in the Middle East started when Israel stole America's nuclear technology and uranium.
Why is Iran being singled out? Obama said he will make sure Iran doesn't get a nuclear weapon at all costs. Really? So, will Obama blow up Iran to stop Iran from attaining the means to defend itself from aggression? This is backwards logic. There is no sanity in official U.S. discourse about Iran.
Both Obama and Romney also repeated the fallacy that Iranian President Ahmadinejad said he will wipe Israel off the map. What he said was that the current government in Israel will be gone from the page of time, quoting Khomeini. Obama says the exact same thing when he calls for Assad to step down. Gaddafi's regime also disappeared from the page of time, due to U.S. efforts. Ahmadinejad made a political statement, not a genocidal statement.
What is so controversial about calling for greater openness, expansion of democracy, and protection of human rights in Israel? Former U.S. president Jimmy Carter and other world leaders stand with the Ayatollahs on this issue, at least in principle.
If change must come to Syria and the Arab world, then why not also to Israel and the Western world? Israel and America are not beacons of democracy and freedom, they must also undergo democratic changes and join the community of civilized nations.
I'm not defending the Islamic regime, but the talk of war is stupid. Romney said that a "nuclear capable" Iran provides enough political justification for U.S. military action. Does this mean he will commit to an American invasion of Iran? What does he have in mind, exactly?
Obamney's rhetoric about Iran is dangerous and foolish. It distracts the world from the Israeli-Palestinian peace process and the collapsing global economy. When will this insanity end? If world peace is not achieved through dialogue and diplomacy, then how? If not by American leaders, then by who? Russia? China? Will these enlightened countries lead humanity to world peace? Is the era of American leadership over? How can America lead the world if it is not enlightened enough to distinguish between reality and fantasy?
It is interesting and significant that President Obama restated the mantras of "Al-Qaeda killed us," and "I got Bin Laden and decimated Al-Qaeda's leadership," over the course of the debate. From a logical point of view, this statement is ludicrous because Al-Qaeda has CIA roots, and its top leaders were covert CIA spies, above all Osama Bin Laden. So unless Obama fires the CIA leaders who created Al-Qaeda he can't say "I decimated Al-Qaeda's leadership." It is a lie.
History matters. Truth matters. It is a mistake for Obama and Romney to breeze over the facts and embrace the mighty wind of power, because sooner or later the winds of history will change and they will have to answer for their lies and crimes against humanity.
They cannot fall back on 9/11 and say Al-Qaeda is the reason America invaded Afghanistan in 2001. The world knows that 9/11 was an invented trauma of the Jewish and American peoples. Using an invented psychological wound to erase and excuse one's crimes from the historical record is a reflection of insanity and dishonesty.
America can be a true leader of nations and become a reliable rock in a world submerged in chaos only if it regains its sanity and deals with foreign and domestic matters honestly. Humanity is not asking American leaders to retreat from the world, but to reflect on their actions, recognize the limits to their power, and respect international law.

Decatur center treating injured golden eagle
The Associated Press
DECATUR — A rare golden eagle found in a central Illinois field with a broken wing has been undergoing rehabilitation at the Illinois Raptor Center.
The 8-pound bird, now named Midas, was found north of Sadorus in Champaign County on Oct. 25. He has been at the center in Decatur since Dec. 6.
Finding the bird was a rare event, said Jacques Nuzzo, program director at the Illinois Raptor Center.
"A lot of people misidentify immature bald eagles as golden eagles," Nuzzo told the Herald & Review. "The chance of it being a golden eagle was next to nothing."
Midas is the center's first golden eagle, and caring for him has had some challenges, Nuzzo said. Golden eagles are larger and stronger than the more common bald eagles. They eat a lot of food, and instead of diving for prey, they slam into them. Midas' diet in Decatur has included quail, rats and venison.
"Golden eagles are extremely powerful birds," Nuzzo said. But he said that if Midas were left injured in the wild "and he couldn't fly, he would probably be dead."
The bird's left wing was fractured, said Nicki Rosenhagen, a clinic manager at the University of Illinois.
"We kept the bird in a small enclosure to minimize activity," Rosenhagen said. "Birds heal quickly."
Nuzzo said he is rehabbing the bird's wing by putting food on a perch and forcing Midas to fly to it. Nuzzo plans to prepare the bird for release to the wild through controlled flying operations.
"We'll fly him on a line, to fly between two people for food on each end," Nuzzo said. "We are making him aware we're here to help. He wasn't trusting with people when he first came in. It's nice to be part of the healing process."
Golden eagles are more common in the western United States. About 50 golden eagles spend the winter in northwestern Illinois near Galena, according to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.
"Nobody messes with a golden eagle," said Bob Russell, wildlife biologist for the federal agency. "They are better fliers than bald eagles. They're magnificent birds. They can soar effortlessly with just a little updraft. They circle slowly, big, wide circles a couple of hundred feet across."

LoA-Heitah Senior Sunday 06/06/2010, 21:01
After two weeks of dominating All Stars it's not really surprising both Striker and Marina receive bans this week. Caelus will go for a few weeks (if not months), and lots of other changes.
Banned this week are: Caelus, Morphun, Ghumbo, Oshitsune, Striker, Marina, Hugo, Sylth.
That means Sledg is coming back after a few weeks absent. And so is Copper and Shakra.
The thing about Copper this week is, I hate to break it to you Copper fans, this is the absolute worst week in terms of conditions to play Copper. We're not only going to see massive amounts of Roots decks because of Shakra, but we're going to see even more massive amounts of Gheist decks because Toro is available, and you're going to see many people just crazy ready to try out the new puppy in Gheist, Draheera.
You will see a massive switch mid week, I predict. When all the noob Gheist players trying out Draheera realize that everyone and their "dogs" is running Roots and Gheist this week, Draheera will see limited play from midweek on.
Hugo-tana isn't a factor this week. But Rescue is. Rescue will be massively played this week and successfully so. But good rescue players will alter their decks to include the following: Ghoub, Glosh, and obviously Sledg. Why? Because those 3 cards are not ability based. And with massive roots and gheist this week, that's going to make Glosh absolutely golden.
LoA-Heitah Senior Sunday 06/06/2010, 21:07
Another net benefit to Rescue this week is the bans on Ghumbo and Oshitsune. So no nightmare this week should be a threat.
Mono Piranas may be another viable option, however, because they will hedge the Rescue, and do great against Roots and Gheist. One way to deal with some troublesome gheist cards will be to run Spycee in your deck this week. I also predict more players will turn to a Roots Piranas split this week. Example: http://www.urban-rivals.com/presets/?id_preset=1279992
Kristin is another good card to run this week, but it may require a non Shakra deck due to limited stars.
Also, high powered cards in other clans like ula will dominate this week.
In Summary: Play 2 stop: ability cards in your deck for elo this week. Example: http://www.urban-rivals.com/presets/?id_preset=1202664
Or be one of the hoardes of root players or at least half roots split decks. Those are your best options.
FYA Will Master THE EXPLOSIVE ELITE Sunday 06/06/2010, 22:20
Yay for sledg!
DrTravelerLoA Senior Legends of America Sunday 06/06/2010, 22:44
Ok, time for the usual predictions. A lot of this is in line with GH-Heitah
Sledg (C) and Shakra (U) in probably means that Nightmare and Piranas are in trouble. Nightmare already has to cope with Ghumbo (U) and Oshitsune (R) out, but Sledg (C) in means that Rescue decks will fare pretty well against SoB decks in general, while Shakra (U) in means that Roots decks that typically struggle against Nightmare and Piranas have a rather large beatstick they can use. I don't think mono-Piranas will do that hot this time.
All Stars are back out in the cold. Oh drats. *sarcasm* Caelus (R) out of the ELO means Skeelz can crawl back under their rock for a week. You might see the rare Skeelz have deck, but I wouldn't count on it.
Copper (U) is an interesting wrinkle in the metagame. Normally that would mean that Sentinels would be literally everywhere in the half deck and mono, but Shakra's place in the meta game means that Sentinels are facing potentially strong SoA decks out there, something that traditionally wrecks most of the ELO level Sentinels Add to that GHEIST has Toro (U) this week, so they aren't exactly weak in this environment. Copper (U) might actually prove weak in this environment.
I too think a midweek switch or two will happen. Strong Rescue means SoA clans struggle. If the SoA clan usage dips, Copper can come back out to play weakening Rescue, making SoA attractive starting the cycle again.
The Feared Novice the courtyard of shadows Sunday 06/06/2010, 23:57
Joke thread? Striker and Marina are unbanned and Sledg is banned
The Feared Novice the courtyard of shadows Sunday 06/06/2010, 23:58
This week's ban list: Shakra, Sledg, Toro, Copper, Morphun, Ghumbo, Sylth.
Puddin Tame Guru Monday 07/06/2010, 00:56
@The Feared, those are the bans from last week that will be over in several hours. They show the voting results here: http://www.urban-rivals.com/game/elo/vote.php on Sunday before the new week starts.
I think I am kinda glad that Shakra is lose this week, to keep it from being just a whole bunch of GHEIST players with Toro and Draheera.
0 Xavi Imperator Wise Men Distracted Monday 07/06/2010, 04:03
Question, did anyone actually face Caelus last week?? I had a streak of 6 straight mono All Star decks which got kind of annoying, but not once did I run into Caelus. I think the fact that they are one of the best counters to him and they were out in full force kind of scared away most people from using him, much in the same way I think that the GHEIST and Roots this week will keep us from facing any decks with Copper.
rogueSleipnir Imperator URBAN MADNESS Monday 07/06/2010, 06:27
Anti stop time!
DrTravelerLoA Senior Legends of America Monday 07/06/2010, 13:41
I saw Caelus last week, but not much after about Wednesday. All Stars really kept him in line.
I expect that Copper will make some brief appearances on Monday and Friday when new players for the week give him a go. However he won't be around long. This week will just be too hostile to him.
