Continuing with Saint Paul's Gospel of Hope (Romans 5-8), the Church gives us the second half of a comparison of two traditions. It's not explicit in just this pericope, but the "one person" is Adam (See Romans 5:12-16). Or the joint transgression … Continue reading

Comfy Couch Pet Bed 2092 2216
Pretty but not much support The pet couch is very pretty and elegant and the personalized doggy pillow is a nice added touch. Just wished the cushion had some support. Support is practically non-existent. January 27, 2011
A little disappointed I feel that the top cushion on the comfy couch will not last more than a few months. My dog Lucy sleeps on there every night. I thought the whole sofa was memory foam. I guess I misunderstood. I thought for that much money it would have been better. I have seen similar beds for a lot less money January 27, 2011
Decent Pet Bed for the Money I was a bit disappointed, it appears to be more solid and firm and implies "couch" in the picture. However it is no more than a typical pillow for a dog. Not as firm and fluffy as the picture portrays. There is very little fill in the bed. The cushions are very thin and there is barely any stuffing in the dog pillow. In fact, it is practically flat. Once my golden retriever lays in the bed, there is no support, other than the sides. The front edge becomes flat, as well as, the cushion itself. The bed is beautiful in color and design, but has very poor structure and support. I purchased it because it appeared to be more like a dog "couch" rather than dog bed, but unfortunately, that is not the case. Regardless, my dog seems to like it, but I was hoping for more support especially for his age. The item was on sale when I purchased it, so that does help to offset my disappointment. December 28, 2010
it works I did notice that the back of the bolster isn't as firm as I would have liked. My Weimaraner puppy leans against the back and it folds down a little. Wasn't happy that you need a front loading washing machine to wash the inside pillow of the bed. It is a beautiful looking bed December 15, 2010
Doggy LOVES it, pain to clean The best looking bed, my dog has become a couch potato. Only problem is I can't wash the cushions and it stinks. December 14, 2010
It is OK, but... The pet couch looks better in the picture than in person. The description made me believe that the couch was thick and designed for a dog that is getting older and in need of additional foam padding. This product is not that. I would not purchase again. December 8, 2010
wishing for more padding I bought a medium and extra large for my 2 dogs. When they came in, I was so excited because they are beautiful and the bone pillow is adorable. My criticism is I wish the orthopedic pad on the bottom was thicker and more firm, especially for my larger dog. He is heavy enough to sink the bed in and some points hit the floor. I'm going to buy another pad to put underneath. My dogs do love their new beds though. December 2, 2010
Purchase questionable The product is excellent. The dimensions are smaller than other medium sized dog beds I have purchased. I was going to return and then my dog got into the bed so I didn't. She does not sleep in this bed often - she prefers the larger (medium) bed from a competitor. I should have gotten the large size. October 7, 2010
Not so orthopedic Pros: The couch is soft and looks just as nice as the picture. The bone pillow is adorable. The material is really nice. Cons: I bought this because it said it was an orthopedic couch/bed. Its too soft and nothing about it seems to indicate orthopedic. My dog sits in it for a bit but not long. I was expecting it to be more firm and really provide support for my aging dog. I bought the bed in beige and the pillow is beige. I was expecting the dog's name to show more in contrast. It kind of blends in September 12, 2010
first Bed Our Vizsla has never had a dog bed. We got him from a Vizsla Rescue organization when he was 2 1/2 years old. Now he's 3/12 and we bought him the large size Frontgate bed. Upon seeing the bed set up for the first time he simply took it apart- threw the cushion out of the bed and the monogramed bone-shape pillow as well. He then stood on the bed. Not what we had hoped for. Eventually he did give it a try after we put it all back together. Does he love it? No. But he will sleep on it off and on. He prefers ( who wouldn't) couches, chairs, and beds. I was disappointed the color of the bone pillow did not match the rest of the bed. I wish the large size was bigger. I wish the cushion was firmer as our Vizsla is 60 pounds and he could use more support. I think the bed is a good value. I would recommmend it to anyone who asked. July 22, 2010
Olive Comfy Pet Couch The couch is great quality and thick/comfy. We were disappointed in the color. We ordered 'olive' based on the color shown online. We all agree the color is more dark gray than olive as shown online. We did not want to return the bed, but frontgate was willing to do so. July 17, 2010
The dogs love'em; they are attractive for the home A little disappointed that the cover for the ciushion itself is not removable for laundering, rather you have to wash the whole cushion. It just seems like if anything would be washable it would be the part the dog lays on. That was not clear in the discreption, It just said something like removable cover and was not specific that the cushion cover could not be reomoved. July 12, 2010
I love the couch for my dog. However, it is overstuffed and slightly on the hard side. I removed about 6" in length on the bolster and removed quite a bit of stuffing. It is now softer for our dog. The choices of colors is wonderful and the manufacturing quality is great. I would love to see cedar shavings in the stuffing as the Cosco couches have. Other than that it is a great product. I do wish it was slightly bigger as our 19# Cavalier is a little crowded and can't stretch out. July 9, 2010
Go bigger My two beagles avoided the small one like the plague. They like to stretch out and didn't even try it out. My advice for beagle owners is to go bigger. It's the same dimension as a Costco bed, but less actual sitting room for the dog. We are going to order the large one. Quality is very good but pricey like everything else with Frontgate. July 6, 2010
Make sure you measure your dog before ordering I ordered the small bed for my 17 lb Jack Russell, and he showed zero interest in the bed. I think it was too small for his liking. The pillow that comes with it is also too big for a small bed. April 28, 2010
Would have been nice if it were the right size. I ordered the comfy pet couch. I was attracted to the sale price and the fact that it would look good in my family room with coordinating colors. Unfortunately the size that was available for the sale price was too small for my pet. My fault for not checking dimensions, she was 5 lbs over the recommended weight. The item was on back order and took 2 months before arriving. April 28, 2010
Pet couch Product is great - ordering a lot harder than I expected. April 26, 2010
Content The couch is overall nice but the size looked alot larger on the picture than what it actually is, my dog appears to like it. April 26, 2010
Nice / But Not as Big as I expected If you have a large dog, order the Extra Large. My biggest dog is about 70 lbs. It says up to 80 lbs for the large. Order the bigger one!!!! April 25, 2010
A little too small The look is beautiful and our brown lab went right to the bed and snuggled in, but it is smaller than I thought. I bought the size for our dogs' weight, (we have 2 labs) but they can't stretch out at all, they have to be curled up to fit in the bed. (Only 1 at a time which is what I had planned, I am not expecting 2 to fit)So, she starts in the "comfy couch" and moves to another spot in the middle of the night, which is disappointing. April 23, 2010
Bed dog bed I purchased this dog bed a year and a half ago and my dog loves it. However, I recently purchased the new bed and was disappointed at the fabric they used to make this bed. I live in FL so the microseude material is way too hot for the south part of the US. The cotton/denim they used on the first dog bed was much more comfortable and cooler. April 22, 2010
durability ?? While our two dogs love the comfort of the "comfy pet couch". ....the fabric is almost too soft. I have only had the item for a week, and have already noticed two small whole in the bed (probably from one of the dogs trying to fluff up the bed). If you have a young puppy, or a dog who likes to fluff...you may want to look for a heavier fabric on their bed. February 26, 2010
Okay but not great I purchased this thinking it would provide good support for my 8 year old Golden Retriever. While there's good foam support on the sides, the seat itself doesn't seem to have enough foam for good support. February 19, 2010
Comfy Pet Couch My dog loves the couch but the material causes a lot of static electricity. When he gets off it at night I can see sparks. My dog has short hair (black lab). I have not washed it yet so can not tell how it will hold up in the washer. February 16, 2010
Comfy couch Quality is good, very plush. Our dog is not sure he wants to get on it yet, but we're hoping! February 16, 2010
comfy pet couch Sent this bed back got a med for my mini Schnauzer to small looks comfy but no support. February 8, 2010
I love it but my Yorkie doesn't! The pet bed is beautiful, soft, fluffy, appears to be well made but my Yorkie won't stay on it! I'm not sure if it needs to be washed to remove a "new smell" odor I can't detect, but she would rather sleep on the floor than on the bed and she is usually a comfort monster. My family and I are perplexed! February 5, 2010
Pet Couch Looks comfy but so far pets are NOT willing to approach. I think it is probably too "cushy" and most pets like to be enclosed. It is a cute little couch and maybe if I put a heating pad on it it will be more enticing. January 26, 2010
great looking product size deceiving We received the comfy pet couch after a delay because it was out of stock. We purchased the small because it had a picture and said it was the size for a Westie which is what we have. When we received the couch it was beautiful but much too small. We have returned it for a medium. The pillow is perfect and adorable. We were disappointed because our dog really needs a new bed and now we have to wait again. Looking forward to the new one! It is very nice and well made. The fact that the cover comes off for washing is a real plus. January 7, 2010
dog beds They look great, but only one out of three dogs like it. They like their firmer beds better but we are working on it. January 6, 2010

Additional information about htisch could not be loaded.
I have a 25 pound beagle. I think the medium will fit, but I'm hesitant to hit the buy button. I drew the detentions on the floor in my garage, and the outside is fine, it's the inside I'm concerned about her fitting in. Getting a large would take up too much space. Do you have some kind of size chart, or something to compare certain dogs in certain beds to get an idea if they would have any room to lounge, or do they have to lay in a ball?

stucco touchup advice
I had stucco applied to my foundation less than 2 years ago when I bought it (the parging was cracking so I wanted to make it look better).
Anyway, fast forward two years....I made some landscaping changes and as a consequence the soil level on one side of my house is lower than it used to be. Also, this particular side of the house is no longer obstructed by large shrubs allowing 100% access. I was surprised the guy was able to get the job done here at all because of the shrubs being in the way.
See pics below. It should be obvious what I want to correct.
Unfortunately the guy that did my stucco job is too backed up with other jobs to come out and do touchup work. So I took the liberty of obtaining all the materials I need to patch it up myself: a 5 gallon bucket of Parex pre-mixed color-matched stucco, 50 lb bag of basecoat, and fiberglass mesh scraps (that I got for free).
All I am looking for is some guidance here. My plan of attack is as follows:
1) Trench the soil to expose an area 6 inched wide by 6 inches deep. For safety I will avoid the utility pipes.
2) Chisel away old stucco as needed to make a smooth finish.
3) Prep area with a wire wheel using an angle grinder (if I can). to remove dirt and debris. Can't thing of better way to do this!
4) Mix small amount of base coat, spread thin coat 6 feet at a time with 4" spackling knife, gently apply mesh by applying pressure with spackling knife. Continue until all sections are meshed. Let dry over night.
5) Apply stucco as needed with ordinary smooth mortar float and even out as needed.
Does this sound about right?

Hi Ladies,
I really need some ideas of what to buy for my son who will be 8 in Feb
Posted 19 November 2012 - 12:09 PM
My 7.5 year old boy is getting an ipod touch for christmas, as well as some accessories. Before we'd decided on that I'd also bought him a digital camera. I think he'll get both still, will see how I feel closer to the time!
A new net for his basketball ring.
My mum and dad are giving him a boxed set of Roald Dahl books.
MIL will give him some smiggle stuff.

My 7yo son wants Skylander Giants and all the figures that go with it. (he is getting the game and some figures). I also have a tshirt to go with it.
He also wants the new micro chargers. Will probably ask his Uncle to buy this.
I am buying him a slip and slide water thingy for the back yard too. (our water restrictions are no longer in place )
Oh and he is getting an iPod (with some free games and a few songs) so that is probably it. Maybe a few little things.
The iPod is from me, the skylander game is from Santa.

I was at the Australian Geographic shop yesterday and they had Spy Gear (night vision goggles, lie detector machine etc), microscopes, metal detector, science sets and lots of other ideas. Swimming gear are also in abundance in other shops (towels, goggles, pool toys, boogie boards). Other than that, NERF guns, Lego Ninjago and the likes are also very popular.
Posted 19 November 2012 - 12:16 PM
OK my nearly 8-y/o son will be getting a fair number of books (Roald Dahl, Diary of a Wimpy Kid, Magic Tree House, Guinness Book of Records, Brer Rabbit, 'Lost Thing' by Shaun Tan), Ice Age 4 movie, a kids hiking backpack, a new watch, jigsaw puzzle, computer game, Junior Cluedo.
That's from all the extended family too, mind, and includes his birthday presents as well (which is a week before Christmas) I just know what they're all giving him because I help organise it all

Wow, so many electronic gifts. We are steering away from electronic gifts as he uses his laptop and DH's phone on the weekend. Plus I really just don't know where to start with eelctronics. Admitedly though, I'm not going too well on the present buying. So far its lego, and a soccor ball on a pole thingy and a book. Gee I do need to get busy!! Was also thinking basketball ring (although when I mention it he doesn't seem that interested).

Okay I have daughters but my eldest is often more into boy toys. This year she is asking for circus type stuff. A spinning plate (this plate you can spin on a long stick) she will get this they are so great and easy to use (she brought one home from school to try) and I can get one off ebay really cheaply. Diablo sticks (this I'm sure we have in the cuboard so I won't buy but will find her some).I think I might also buy her some juggling balls or some poi (might be easier for the uncodinated ). Last year she asked for a skateboard and skates etc. As well as taht she got some books like horrid henry (she loved that and there great books)She also wants some more mighty beans and another track. (And a jewelry box but that will be no help to you ) We wondered about a science kit but in the end we are going with a bunch of little science experiment tubes and some slime in her stocking. Oh last year we got her a bubble rocket too.

Posted 23 November 2012 - 05:44 PM
DS1 is nearly 7.
He is getting a Radio Flyer 'Skate 2 Scoot' skateboard, a pillow pet (which he's probably too old for but what the heck), some clothing & swimmers, Harry Potter DVD, NRL towel and guff and some Wii games.
Posted 23 November 2012 - 05:58 PM
DS 7.5 is getting the lego monster castle from us, lego police helicopter from grandma, lego castle set from grandpa and a lego star wars set from his aunt (see a pattern here?) He is also getting a roald dahl set and a dress up constume (a knight). DS is lego mad though. Oh and he is getting the lego harry potter bus from another aunt. I am getting the ipad for christmas although am considering an ipod touch for next birthday but probably not.

DS who is 7.5 is getting:
Lego Monster Fighters Haunted House
Air Hog

Annoying Orange
Headphones for his ipod
Ipod case
The 39 Clues box set

Posted 23 November 2012 - 06:09 PM
Lego here too. DS1 has also asked for a skateboard. I think I'll get him an iTunes voucher so he can choose some apps for my/DH's iPods instead of relying on us!
That's as far as I've got - I'm planning DS2's first proper birthday party at the moment, so Christmas is taking a backseat!

That nagging crash on southbound 35W at County Road 96 has finally cleared, but it will take a while for traffic to recover.
The brake lights come on at Lexington Avenue in Blaine, so expect a good 25 minutes to get past the scene. Eastbound Hwy. 10 also stacks up beginning just past Central Avenue.
On westbound 694, the delays are firmly in place from Rice Street past the scene of an accident at Hamline Avenue. That's a good 12 to 15 minutes to get through there.
The south metro is looking pretty awesome with no delays of any significance on major routes, including northbound Hwy. 169, Cedar Avenue and 35W.
Even the Crosstown and 494 are looking decent.

I didn't do any further checking, but I heard the "Mancow" program on the radio yesterday, they were talking about a proposal in front of Illinois government for more money--seems they're building extra detention centers and needing to purchase more helicopters to patrol for large amounts of civil unrest and detain the participants.
Wonder what they're planning for???
Besides, IL is already 9 billion in the hole, time to spend even more, I guess.
I've been doing what I can: plan for the worst, hope for the best. Aside from everything else I've heard, this makes me wonder even more if there's something to it all...
Any more info, thoughts, or comments???
I didn't confirm any of it, but he had a bill proposal number, etc.

(b Llanelli, 27 Feb. 1887; d Swanley, Kent, 22 Aug. 1914). British painter, mainly of landscapes (particularly mountain scenes) but also occasionally of figure subjects. He often painted with his friend Augustus John, particularly in their native Wales in 1911 and 1912. His early work was in an Impressionist manner influenced by Steer, but he developed a more expressive Post-Impressionist style combining hot colour and decorative pattern. He usually painted on a fairly small scale, often on wooden panels; he also worked a good deal in watercolour. His early death was caused by tuberculosis. See also Camden Town Group.

Strange credit reports
We discovered, in applying for a refinance of our mortgage, that our credit reports went from the 800s (since the last time we refinanced, in 2007) to the 700s, and all three agencies list one factor that adversely affected our scores as "Too many inquiries last 12 months." How can this be? We haven't applied for new credit anywhere before this. We get quite a few unsolicited offers in the mail -- and shred them. I've called to get these things to stop in the past, but I guess I need to do it again.
Also, all three agencies say "Proportion of balances to credit limits on bank/national revolving or other revolving accounts is too high, amount owed on revolving accounts is too high." Why would this be? DH and I each have one credit card that we use strictly as a convenience, never get anywhere near the limit on either card, and pay both of them off in full every month. We had a smallish HELOC balance but paid it off in full last year. That's it -- no other loans or use of credit.
How do you get them to take these things off of your history? It doesn't seem to be a problem in getting credit -- we've been approved by two different banks for this refi -- but it's really bothersome.
Contacting these agencies is a major pain. There is no way to just call. They all want you to sign up for a service -- for a fee, of course. It is such a racket. Does writing a letter help?
"Proportion of balances to credit limits on bank/national revolving or other revolving accounts is too high"
This is entirely possible even if you plan to pay off the balance at the end of each month. They score based on what you owe at the moment they check and don't know whether you are planning to pay them off or not. That is one reason to have a multiple cards with high limits. If you use 1 card with a modest limit, you might be using a significant portion of your available credit by the end of a month.
"Too many inquiries last 12 months."
Call and ask. There are lots of reasons that someone might check a credit report beyond just getting a new loan.
I pulled one of my free reports this morning. Everything on there is accurate -- it lists only the legitimate credit inquiries that I initiated (i.e., the ones I mentioned in my OP). Our CC balances never approach our limits -- we simply don't spend that much money on a regular basis. They must be "grading" everyone on much tougher standards than they did a few years ago is the only reason I can think of for the downgrade. It doesn't seem to pose any problem in a practical sense, since we're still in the "excellent" range -- it's just the principle of the thing!
It isn't a question of getting close to your CC limits, but a question of what percentage of all your CC limits added together you've already tapped. According to current standards, it should be below 10% for a top credit rating.
As for the inquiries, did you happen to switch any of your cell phone, internet or TV services in the last year? Doing that will usually trigger an inquiry.
Actually, no. We just bought things with our credit cards and paid off the purchases in full when the bills were due each month. None of that stuff appears on the credit report I pulled. They must think two inquiries are too many now.
Some months we may close to spending 10% of our CC limit, but not most of the time.
Anyway, now that I've seen what's actually on the report, I don't see that there's anything we can do about it.
When the credit reports are pulled they reflex the amount owed on the day they are pulled. I questioned the credit balance problem was told that 10% was the cut off. 7% was more acceptible. The statement we received with our house insurance reflected the down grade of the credit score. Not much but considering the only debts we have are the house and my credit card.
Based on the above I would suggest to anyone who uses their credit card for their monthly expenses to either stop the practice or accept the down grade. Trends appear to be point to a return of paying everything with cash.
Or, if you normally pay them online, just make sure you keep the balances low by making frequent payments.
Billl is right in that not using your CCs at all is likely to cause the issuers to cancel them, which packs a triple whammey. Your score will take a hit when the bank cancels the card, and you'll also wind up with less total credit available, which is also bad for your score. It also means you'll have to keep your outstanding total credit balance to an even lower level.
To get top credit scores, you should have 3-5 open credit cards so that the total amount of credit available to you is large. Then you also need to make sure that the the total amount you have charged on all of them at any one time falls in the 6-10% range of what's available.
I don't want to have a bunch of credit cards that I don't use. It's too confusing and problematic. The only reason we use credit cards is because it's convenient, and in many cases, that's the only way to do business (particularly with so much being online now).
I think it's ridiculous that people like DH and me, who are not in debt and who manage our money and credit carefully, would not have the highest possible credit ratings. We are not doing anything differently now than we were 4 years ago, when our ratings were higher -- except that our salaries AND savings have increased and our amount of debt (mortgage) has decreased. There's something wrong with that picture.
Yeah, I guess it should be, right? It just looks weird for the report to say "too many inquiries," "debt too high," and so on as the reason for our credit rating being lowered when those things have nothing to do with how we handle debt. It appears those lending money don't have a problem with it, either. So what's the point? Why do the agencies do this?
Harriet-- FICO scores are like a video game. If you'd like to improve yours, you can. Sounds like yours are fine, so no worries. myfico does have very active community boards for anyone who wants to know more about FICO scoring, etc. You don't have to but anything, just look for "community" under the site map. I agree with feedingfrenzy; credit rating has nothing to do with salary, savings, or mortgage balance.
"It just looks weird for the report to say "too many inquiries," "debt too high," and so on as the reason for our credit rating being lowered when those things have nothing to do with how we handle debt. "
Huh? Of course those things matter - on average. That is what credit scores are - the average risk of people who display certain behaviors. People who apply for a lot of credit in a short period of time are bigger risks to lend to on average. People who use a lot of their credit lines are obviously bigger risks than people who only use a little - on average. Sure, you may intend to pay it off every month, but if you suddenly lose your job, the credit companies are a lot safer if you only have a small balance outstanding then if you had a large balance.
If you want to manipulate the credit scoring system, it really isn't that hard. Just adopt the patterns of people who they judge to be the lowest risks. If your score is currently good enough to get everything you need, why bother though?
There's been a substantial financial squeeze in general in our part of the world, both governmental and private, in the past few years.
Plus, with the huge debt and the printing money issue, it's almost certain that there'll be higher interest rates soon, in addition to inflation.
Quite a few figure that the housing issue can go somewhat lower, with more people's mortgages quite possibly going underwater.
If you were running a credit card company, I'll bet that you'd be tightening up the system quite a lot, these days, too, Harriet homeowner.

Arsenal are set to sign Colombian attacking midfielder Juan Quintero for £15million from FC Porto.
Reliable Colombian journalist David Rueda has reported that Quintero will arrive at Arsenal on Monday and it means that the Gunners will have bought another attacking midfielder, despite deciding not to sign Cesc Fabregas. Quintero though will add more flair and pace to the Gunners' attack and can play comfortably on either wing.
Es real la posibilidad de que Juan Fernando Quintero juegue con el Arsenal. Estaría llegando el lunes a Londres. Ojalá se concrete.
— Diego Rueda (@diegonoticia) July 31, 2014
Quintero, 21, joined Porto for just £8million last season. The move has come out of nowhere, but it seems to be a reliable report with The Times now backing up the claims from Colombia.
The versatile midfielder is just 5ft 6′ and due to his frame and style of play, has been likened to Lionel Messi.
More to come..

The 2012 maize growing season has been a challenging one with rain hampering grass and wholecrop harvests and the lack of sunshine and heat limiting forage maize growth, writes Neil Groom, technical director for Grainseed.
However, warmer weather in the past 10 days in many areas has allowed maize crops to start starch laydown and although maize harvest has been delayed the majority will clamp mature maize, albeit later than normal.
This year we have sampled maize under plastic at the Scottish Agricultural College in the same field as the normal sample of Picker not sown under plastic. These were drilled at the same time, whereas other fields on the farm were sown at the end of March under plastic for an early harvest to allow grass re-seeding for Scotgrass next May. These March-sown crops are ready for harvest now.
Soil structure has been key to success for maize this year. Anywhere where there is compaction within the soil profile or any parts of the field lie wet, maize has struggled.
Remember maize silage quality is optimum at 30-35% dry matter when the sugars produced by photosynthesis are stored as starch in the grain. We want the grain to be ripe so that when you squeeze a grain between your fingers only the smallest drop of moisture can be seen. Many crops are milky ripe meaning they are three to four weeks from harvest.
Bill Blake, sampling for Farmers Weekly in Devon, has noticed a big change in crops in the past 10 days: "Last week grains were swollen, but had no starch but 10 days of warmer temperatures have altered the crops significantly."

I was also a little surprised that the people here are not so friendly, we even got kicked off the bus today coz we didn't have the right change. It is definitely a city of contrasts. We caught the bus and as we were driving through the outer suburbs I was absolutely amazed at the amount of graffiti around ...

Fukien Tea Bonsai Sap/Mealy Bugs?!?!?!
I recently purchased a 10 year old Fukien Tea Bonsai. He is in excellent health and produces numerous leaves, flowers, and berries daily but recently I noticed these nasty TINY little bugs that seem to be a pale white or green color attaching themselves to the new flower buds and leafs! They are so creepy and gross and no matter how many I remove each day they come back within a few hours. I am not 100% sure what type of bug they are, but from reading internet reviews they seem to be some type of sap sucking mealy bug.
I was told I can dip the plant (not the roots) in a liquid soap and water mix but for some reason that seem so harmful, and I havent the first clue as to what kind of spray I could buy to fight of these sick little things, so any advice or help would be MUCH appreciated!!!
I think you might have aphids (watch out for ants who are attracted by them!) and the best (and safest) thing you can do is find some Neem oil at a nursery, either by its own name, or as the major ingredient in a spray made for roses. Soap and water sprays aren't as effective on aphids as they are on spider mites and not always received as well by the plant. Good luck.

One last question? Can I carb while lagering? For example, lager in a keg for 4 weeks then add the co2 and continue to lager for another 2 weeks. Or should I wait out the whole lager period before applying the co2.
If it makes you feel any better, I will be doing a straight up single infusion for my next lager to determine if all the decoction stuff makes a big difference to me or not. Also will be doing a side by side distilled water batch vs my well water which is similar to a dublin style.
Not sure when that will be scheduled though. Good luck

I have a question:
I currently have four saves contributed and accepted by GameFAQs already, and they are all PS2 ARMAX. However, I've received emails twice about my saves being "fakes" and not uploading although apparently the users are doing the right steps in downloading the saves to their devices, but my save won't load for them anyway. What is it possibly that I'm doing wrong? To make the matters more confusing, I've emailed the save for testing to one of the users and it still didn't work for him. What gives? Any feedback is appreciated.

So what does the "Contribution not found to view" status for a save mean?

I used to be prolific in game saves until I started copying saves from other sites and hosting them here. Vast majority of my real save files were stolen on tons of sites across the net and now I can't upload those ones to GameFAQs. What a damn shame...
My file said he makes noises and twitches without stopping
It turns out I was just beat-boxing, popping and locking

Greece vs turkey
... night card playing this time. Aust swept the series of "********" against NZ. Woke up in Turkey! Marmaris is in a spectacular location. Hills everywhere. We met our driver who appeared to be fairly new to the task of driving. Staying on the right side of the road was a challenge. But a great guy with perfect English. He had two daughters, loved mountains and was hard if hearing. So we got on like a house on fire. En route we passed through an avenue of huge eucalypts. ...

Back to the hotel to sit and read in the shade. Wifi eventually back online at 1.30pm. Must be nearly lunchtime.

Starters done we polished off chicken donner and chips before adjourning ...
... that was left was a shallow lake and marsh which gave rise to malaria which wiped out most of the population. An earthquake destroyed the rest of the city.
Following this we went, by boat, to a local seafood restaurant. We started with a delicious meze plate and then they served chicken, beef or fish. the meze plate, which I had was delicious.
Then the 1.5 hour ride back to the ship. Tomorrow is Kusadasi.
Idillic Bay day

We wandered quickly through the village, lots of the same shops but no salesmen calling out to us constantly. We stopped for a beer at a waterfront cafe then caught the first taxi back to the hotel. Another nice boat ride. Back in time for lunch. I tried out the lady in ...
A La Carte day
... rang. Very sorry but rain is coming so A la carte reservation cancelled. Who knew the restaurant was outdoors. Somewhat disappointed we went down to the dining hall and eventually found a table, again adequate food but nothing special. We took a short walk around the shops in the evening avoiding the live band in the main bar area. This even managed to drown out the neighbouring bar when we went up to our room. It didn't ...
