"Great equipment bad install"
This is kind of crazy, I have read some very iffy reviews. Nine times out of ten, it is the installers that are the problem. If the lines are not brazed correctly, no filter drier, not vacuumed properly. Bad ducting is a huge problem, you can't just go with the least expensive go with the guy that makes the most sense and ask why is this better. I was new at once at this, I made my mistakes only at my cost. Goodman/Amana make very good quality equipment, there is always going to be a bad apple in the bunch but as a rule. Nobody gets two bad systems unless it is a weather king. You have a bad install.

"stop complaining"
I work at a heating and air company. There is no brand of a/c that does not require any servicing. Actually, most of these folks saying problems that are 8 months a part. That's very good. In fact, many other brands have needed service every few months in some cases most frequently. We know its inconvenient and you never want to not have a/c but please don't write any bad reviews because it needed fix ups! Every unit ever has probably needed fixed one way or another. As for the person who quoted 'a reputable dealer said never put Amana in your home first off why not say the dealer? Secondly any hvac dealer knows a/c units break a lot! Must of been a new guy who thought he knew it all.

"Great Buy"
Replaced my 6 year old trane last year with a tax credit Amana. It has lifetime replacement warranty so I thought I could not go wrong. Power bill went down $125 per month and I kept it on 75 degrees. System still working great. Got prices from Trane and Carrier but the Amana ASX16036 was a little cheaper and got better warranty.

My home has 3 Amana units installed by the home builder. I have been in this brand new home for 5 years and have had nothing but trouble with all three units. Had to replace three outside fan motors on two units and already replaced 2 coils. Just informed that two coils are leaking again and need to be replaced! Warranty paid for parts the first two times but I had to pay labor. This time, the warranty is expired. I told my a/c guy that I am going to replace all three units and will never purchase another Amana product again!

"Model ASX130481CA"
Although I like how the unit performs when it works, it seems to have a morbidly high failure rate. Connectors burning open on the condenser because the crimp-on-only connectors are underrated. The simple application of a little bit of solder to the connectors at assembly time would absolutely cure this issue, and vastly improve Amana's overall reputation, which right now must be near zero as service technicians scramble in record-breaking heat to fix stupid design flaws. Come on now, gimme a break!

"Really works well!"
Wow, either you love it or hate it. My new Amana system that I had installed a few years ago works very nice and lowered my electric bill less than 1/2. It could be 105 outside and I keep my a/c at at 75 with no problems. No matter what anybody says, Amana is good equipment and do recommend it to all my friends. I shopped long and hard before I spent my hard earned money. Amana by far has the best warranty with Lifetime compressor with copper tubing, Lifetime heat exchanger uses stainless steel, 10 year parts and 1 year labor as standard. Would buy it again. My neighbor has a 3 year old Trane with nothing but problems. His system struggles to keep it at 80. But I really think the contractor he hired was not very good. So maybe its not fair to say its the Trane equipment?

"Horrible Equipment"
I had an Amana ac unit installed in my house a year 1/2 ago and have had nothing but problems. The unit has had to be serviced six times. We are now at the point that we are having to have the compressor replaced because it continues to lock up. Amana was replaced by a home warranty company who I believe found the cheapest ac equipment they could find so they would be paid 100% by the home warranty company for both equipment and labor. I have had a reputable ac company come out and evaluate the problems and they said the problem is the equipment and that they would not recommend putting Amana in any home.

Satisfaction Rating:
Very noisy outdoor compressor/heat exchanger unit. It's my opinion that inexpensive units like this Amana which the builder installed is noisier than more expensive units, but I don't have a way of comparing apples and apples.

We live in a world of micro-niches. The Mini Paceman perhaps illustrates that most effectively. A blown-up, outsize variant of a car that was initially conceived to be the most efficient automotive form of packing possible, engorged into some West Coast-targetting automotive bauble and presented as a (distinctly un-packaging efficient) Coupe/SUV crossover.
One would think that, given the exploitation of the niche, we'd be celerbrating the variety of different conceptual formats on show. And yet, looking around Paris, what appears to be happening at a macro level, is convergence.
Everyone appears to need a B-sector sized (or based) SUV/Crossover. B-sized hatchbacks must have a touchscreen to compete. Lexus is playing with some interesting surface language, but ultimately just chasing Audi and its successful ability to hit the 'sweetspot' in every segment in which it competes. Likewise Jaguar – whose roll out of a 'long-needed' coupe is cause for celebration – ultimately, simply shoots calculatingly between Cayman and 911 and wraps things up in a saccharine sweet, pretty but largely predictable coupe body.
The cars that define – or once defined – their segments: Range Rover, Golf, Clio and Mondeo – present new versions that in the most parts, are simply subtle evolutions of their previous incarnations. 10% better every which way, but nothing more than predictable.
In the midst of this we wonder whether the 'different by design' philosophy is dead? A decade ago, Renault was in its wheelhouse of flamboyant, anachronistic design – Megane II, Avantime and Vel Satis leading the wooing customers in some markets, repulsing them in others. BMW was undergoing a surface-based design revolution under Bangle, which challenged even the most avant-garde-leaning customers. And we were treated to cars like the Mazda RX8 – a conceptually unique rear-drive Coupe, whose rotary engine brought packaging advantages that meant four, adult-sized seats fitted in a coupe body style and which then threw in suicide doors for good measure. Today, the Megane is dull, the Avantime and Vel Satis dead, BMW is becalmed – chastened even with the sensible, front wheel drive Concept Tourer, while the RX8 is no more – its rotary engine consigned to the bin thanks to regulations.
There are perfectly good, financial, environmental and hard-nosed business-logic reasons for all of this. But from a design perspective – and especially when we look beyond the superficiality of exterior graphics, details and surfaces – there is little to excite, spark the imagination or truly challenge. Even Lamborghinis are predictable, lacking the shock factor they once had. In a crisis, it seems, no one can afford to create a car which risks challenging – and therefore ultimately failing – in its market. But we can't help but hope that somebody, somewhere soon takes a risk – and remembers that conceptually innovating can often be the fastest way out of the abyss.

'Keeping Children First' a Recognition Point for Montville BOE
Superintendent thanks board leaders as state group celebrates School Board Recognition Month.
Whether they do it because they want to see changes in the education system locally or because they want to make sure the school district remains the same, school board members donate hours of their time as a service to their communities. Throughout the state this month, school board members, those volunteers who help make decisions about schools, will be honored by their districts during the New Jersey School Board Association's School Board Recognition Month. "New Jersey's local boards of education play an essential role in our students' lives. They oversee 586 school districts which, in turn, operate nearly 2,500 public schools and provide educational services to nearly 1.4 million children," the NJSBA website said. In the state, there …

Thank you, Mr. Grant. The 'thought' of the idea above to 'consolidate the 40 superintendents' into one? That has to be said by someone without kids. From an educational standpoint it makes zero sense. So, the 'county superintendent' will even look at Montville's needs? I would think he/she would think of all towns the same. In that scenario, Montville=Lincoln Park=Dover=Morristown=Morris Hills. …   more ›

We are supposed to turn the other cheek and not resort to violence, so is it too violent to assume, if any Bible believer owns a dartboard, that Steven Engel's picture could possibly be the center target?
I don't think that's a violent assumption especially if the intent is to release 50 years worth of aggression.
It has been a little better than 50 years since Steven Engel was instrumental with seeing to it that his wish was granted. Any law-related literature will cite Engel v. Vitale as the landmark case that was instrumental in getting prayer ousted from public schools. However, did prayer really ever leave? The answer is no because no amount of legislation can place restraints on neither the heart nor the soul.
As a child I would hear, "This is why these kids are acting up in schools today because they took prayer out." I began hearing that in the 1980s, and it was repeated in a recent Sunday School class. I disagree that prayer has been totally eliminated, but I do agree that its prevalence is less conspicuous. The people I knew chose to defy the legislation by exemplifying the belief that prayer can never be ripped from one's heart or soul. I, along with several of my peers and teachers, would line up to say grace before we entered the cafeteria to get out paper tickets punched in the lunch ticket machine. Many of us would forget the paper ticket was in our pockets, and we would send up fervent prayers in hopes that God Almighty would still let the lunch ticket be of use even after a spin in the washing machine and a few blows on the clothesline to dry. We prayed both in unison and individually, which speaks to the fact that there are exceptions to the rule even if it is "not allowable by law."
Where I was from, it was no separation of church and state because believers will find a way. The way may not be as organized as a grace before breakfast and lunch or devotion during a 20-minute homeroom, which I distinctly and fondly remember occurring in my sixth grade class, but true believers didn't care what Engel and his constituents were instrumental in legislating. We continued then and still continue to pray without ceasing.
A little better than 50 years after Engel v. Vitale, any believer that may have had Engel as the center of the family's dartboard may soon have their chance to rip apart any photos bearing his countenance - that is if NC school districts have their way.
Last week the Laurinburg Exchange reported, "A bill filed in the state Senate last week could allow Bible study courses to be taught in public high schools.
Sen. Stan Bingham who is a Davidson Republican proposed the bill co-sponsored by state Sen. Gene McLaurin, who represents Scotland, Richmond, Anson, Stanly, and Rowan counties.
"This is clearly being proposed as an elective and something that would be beneficial to students in terms of learning about values," said McLaurin, a Democrat. "There are so many positive messages in the Bible about living by the Golden Rule, the Ten Commandments, the list goes on and on. I don't see how this can be anything but beneficial to children and their families to be more exposed to the teachings of the Bible."
What an eloquent summation and a superbly enduring way to reach across the aisle to offer a scholastic pathway to the ethical and moral well being of children!
I'd leap at the chance to sign up my kids, so can I get an Amen on the passage of this proposal?

Lacy is a good back, I won't deny that, but there is a difference between college and Pro. Hey, if we get him I wouldn't mind at all however we better fix the run blocking first or we would waste his talent.
Now if you want to add a package deal with Lacy and Womack then were talking.....Bidness!
Oh no eee di int. If that happened I'd just crap myself. I don't think either one will happen. I think Lacy will be gone by our 2nd pick and I don't see them going RB in the first round. But if we got Womack and Lacy, that would make the draft alone! Fo wheel. Git wit it.
Having watched a bit of Lacy's highlights, one thing that stands out is how often he isn't hit in the backfield.
Now, this can be viewed 2 ways- it could be that Lacy is great at finding open space, that his vision is impeccable & that he just sees the field that well.
Which is possible.
But that OL of his is outstanding at the college level. His lack of contact behind the line is more likely a result of the 5 big guys in front of him.
The reason Chadman brings that up is, Lacy is a 'big guy'. When a big guy gets some momentum, he becomes much harder to stop, particularly 1 on 1. So watching Lacy bust through his first tackle after he's run 8 or so yards & has his top speed going, is not really surprising.
Thing is, that won't happen in the NFL, at least- not consistantly. How is he without momentum?
The second way to look at it is this- is he much different from what is already on the roster? If you put Redman or Dwyer behind a dominant line like Alabama- how would they go? Both are 'big guys' that, with momentum, are hard to stop.
This is not a post bagging Lacy, who looks like a good power runner. But in a game where you want to keep your opposition guessing as to the next move, is having 3 RB's that essentially do the same job, good roster management?

Prizemoney- $15,650.00
I liked what I saw in Lacy the two times I watched him play this year. You can only make a judgment based on what you see on the field. The one thing for sure is that he will be playing against better defenders and tacklers next year in the NFL. So, what I liked about him when I saw him play this year was that he almost always fell forward, he delivered blows and he seemed to have excellent vision and game sense.
What I didn't like was his propensity to spin in a similar fashion to Mendenhall and he seemed to enjoy a lot of running room provided to him by the offensive line (he probably won't get that from the Steeler line).
If he's on the board in round one and he's rated as BPA, I'd take him, if not, then I wouldn't. He'll be gone by 2.49 IMO.

Political correctness and your body: Why TSA security measures won't fly
It is in the strategic nature of the enhanced security protocol at the airports, and the argument made to passengers for their compliance that TSA utterly fails to make their case. They fail not just in the possession of full-body scanners or the implementation of enhanced pat-downs, TSA fails because blanket implementation of these protocols does not give airline passengers a degree of safety equal to or surpassing the violation of human dignity that they entail. Individuals seeking alternatives, such as Republican Representative John Mica of Florida, say the answer can be found in replacing TSA agents with private security guards. Mica's reasoning for such changes is based on the idea that private industry through competition would increase quality and efficiency.
This is possible, but only if several fundamental strategies are put into place. More diligent inspection of passports and pre-travel documents along with observations of passenger activities and actions at the airport will go far toward true airline security. This goes hand in hand with observing sets of characteristics that identify what has been congruent with modern-day terrorists. At this point in time, this means placing higher scrutiny on Muslim males that are traveling from known terrorist locations over elderly American grandmothers in walkers flying to see their grandchildren for the holidays.
To call this racist is to be misguided. To deplete critical security resources to invasively search people who do not fit any criteria of a terrorist simply to be politically correct is more than wasteful, it is reckless. It is reckless because it places all passengers at higher risk as security personnel decrease their attentiveness while searching individuals who are obvious non-threats.
Those that would place all airline travelers in front of the full-body scanners and rubber gloves of TSA personnel cite the case that if the current profile of the modern terrorist is actually observed instead of denied through blanket security procedures that those that wish to do Americans harm will simply use different actors to conduct terrorist activities. The current evidence does not support this line of thinking for terroristic airline incidents. read more »

The end of the world is fast approaching – that crazy Mayan calendar is rolling towards the finish line and even though they didn't manage to predict the end of their own civilization SchNEWS is confident that they're bang on the money when it comes to the end of ours.
And we're not alone in that belief, despite the fact that the Mayans never made it within a thousand miles of Bolivia, that country's Minister of External Affairs David Choquehuanca is planning to mark the occasion by banning Coca-Cola from the country. He announced "The twenty-first of December 2012 is the end of selfishness, of division. The twenty-first of December has to be the end of Coca-Cola and the beginning of mocochinche (a local peach-flavored soft drink),"
Despite the prophetic tones involved in his speech, the anti-imperialist South American stance is well known- in 2002 McDonald's had to close all their restaurants in Bolivia as it wasw unable to make a profit due to a culturally driven boycott.
Minister Choquehuanca added "The planets will line up after 26,000 years. It is the end of capitalism and the beginning of communitarianism".
We'll have whatever it is you're drinking Dave!
SchNEWS has a long drunk from the well of horror stories about remote controlled killing and bombing by military drones. Now, at last, we can take the piss with news of a more-dumb-than-deadly civilian use. For lo and behold, here comes the beer drone. Lager-than-life organisers of the Oppikoppi music festival in South Africa plan to help punters at this years festie get 'wasted' by flying drones overhead and then parachuting mobile-phone-placed drinks orders down into the crowd. (We know, it sounds ridiculous – and they probably know it but just want the free coverage a cheap publicity stunt can bring... and we've just fallen into their trap. Damn it.)
Whilst a bit of a shake generally does beer no favours, apparently they see no problem with just dropping booze (but not Jägerbombs we hope) from the skies – and on to a thirsty heavy-drinking crowd: well what could possibly go wrong?!
They may have been sold the whizz-bang idea from all the military hype-types telling them about precision targeting and surgical strikes. But knowing as we do the messy actual military truth about collateral damage and indiscriminate killing...the chances of said drink arriving safely into punters fist? We predict a riot. Or lawsuits as a pilot error / malfunction sends an eight-propeller vehicle plummeting into the crowd and it rips someone's face off rather than helping them get off it.
(NB the campsite for the festival is amusingly called District 9. Lets hope it's not full of the prawn sandwich brigade...)
How could not mention dumbo arisotcract Robert Oliphant (dumbo – geddit?!) Maxtone-Graham.
The upper class twit if the year was up in front of Perth Sherriff court on Feb 21st having been given a large block of dope by a friend. He then phoned the police to er, complain about the poor quality of the stuff. Talk about toking the piss. Despite the cops best efforts to ignore him, he persisted until they were forced to nick him in what even his own solicitor called "an own goal". Naturally it wasn't an "own gaol" as anyone who scores higher that 'O Cripes' in a posh test is handled completely differently under UK law. He was fined £360.
There are more hilarious details at the only national newspaper we subscribe to - the Daily Mail. (We love it for the sensible political rhetoric, measured house price analyses and for perving over underage celebrity children!)
We were momentarily concerned to learn that apparently huge numbers of 'Le Freaks' from the EDL were now into Kung Fu Fighting, but fortunately it turns out there not they're not the rhythmless numskulls of the English Defence League but the rhythm-ful rogues at the English Disco Lovers group (some of them probably with numb skulls for entirely different reasons).
The 'Chic'y beggars have nicked the racists acronym and are using it to promote equality, respect and, er, disco. With their cunningly-named website, www.edl.me - which spoofs the look and ridiculous slogans of its target - they are leading the Defence League on a merry dance, and aim to turn them 'upside down' by replacing them on the top of Google searches for EDL.
They already passed the EDL's meagre 15,000 facebook followers on Feb 5th and now have more than doubled that. Now that's the way, uh-huh, uh-huh, we like it...
So 'get down tonight' to www.facebook.com/englishdiscolovers, and the disco dream will survive and be stayin' alive into the (Donna) summer and beyond...
Ever heard of Supreme Master Hai? If you've ever gorged yourself senseless on vegan fake meat at the Loving Hut cafe then chances are you have - she's their spiritual and temporal leader with a permanent slot on "Supreme Master TV"- so unswitch-over-able that it's the only station you'll ever see a Loving Hut telly tuned in to.
Unsurprisingly for a religious cult her messages of peace and harmony are mixed up with a particularly bizarre set of beliefs - life on the planet Venus, the Pyramids are UFO lighthouses, and the usual cosmic silly-bollocks you come to expect from weirdo cults such as the Hari-Krishnas, Scientologists, Mormons, Catholics, Apple Mac Evangelicals and Pentecostalists.
Amongst Supreme Master Hai's teachings is the promotion of breatharianism- the new age belief that the truly enlightened can survive on nothing but pure air and the spiritual energy of the universe. This is a pretty counterproductive philosophy for the owner of over 200 fast food outlets; you'd have thought that she'd have kept schtum. Hear her in her own words, it'll leave you breathless...
More tasty vegan cultish dishes on the menu.
So here we are again, January. Our arbitary dating system throwing up its annual 'ooh look, another year gone' moment.
And what did we learn from 2012? The world didn't end as the Mayans never really predicted. The total failure of the free-reign capitalist system just 4 years ago (and still ongoing of course), followed by a huge policital public funding swindle to keep those in power in power and make everyone else pay for generations for doing so... still fails to stir up any serious agitation or desire for political change amongst the masses. Well how could it when we've had things like the Jubilympics, a new James Bond movie, Google nexus, celebrity paedo-factor stricly come rumour-mongering...
But never fear, SchNEWS has come up with a way to really awaken the masses from their slumber. In 2013 we're going to do all protesting gangnam style.
Stuck for gifts this Christmas? So last year you got your copy of "SchNEWS: in Graphic Detail", but now you just cant think of a fitting gift for your loved ones over the festive period. Well, worry not, hot of the shelves of all the best perfumeries in Gaza comes the latest scent "M-75". It's not named after the latest girl band or a washed up Spice Girl, M75 gets its name from the rocket that the Palestinian armed resistance in Gaza fired at Tel Aviv during the last offensive. Whilst the vast majority of missiles fire during the 8 day conflict were Israeli weapons shot into the Strip (killing over 170 against 6 Israelis killed) Palestinians both inside and outside of the beseiged territory rejoiced that one of their primitive rockets was actually able to strike at the Israeli capital.
The explosive fragrance (made of citrus fruits and herbal essences and sold in 2 oz black-and-green bottles for $13 apiece) is the brainchild of one Rajaey Odwan, director of Gaza's Continental Style perfume company, who said that he thought he'd "give customers a chance to smell victory and turn it into a perfume".
"Sales have gone through the roof", he said. Indeed they have, just like the real thing.
* M-75 is available from all participating underground tunnels.
With global climate chaos, war in the Middle East and economic collapse being just too boring to hog the front pages every day the press have to find juicier titbits to dangle in front of their slavering public. MP's expenses was a good laugh for over a year, but was easily trumped by the phone hacking scandal, horse riding innuendo and all.
But now folks it's time for all out Paedogeddon as it turns out that everyone we ever watched on Telly in the 70s and 80s was a nonce. Jimmy Saville got the ball rolling of course but a host of stars of the era are now 'helping police with their enquiries'. It seems everyone older SchNEWSers grew up watching and listening to was a kiddy-fiddling wrong-o. Some of those children's TV catchphrases will be coming back to haunt us. Twitter is abuzz daily with new wild (as yet at least) unsubstantiated rumours every day. Why don't you deny it Zippy? What's stopping you?
Anyone who was anyone on the box while it was still 'the box' is no doubt sweating nervously in their Buckinghamshire mansion waiting for the crunch of squad car tyres on the gravel drive. No doubt many had their fingers hovering over the Max Clifford speed dial number. But wait … now that Max himself languishes at the constabulary's leisure who ya gonna call? This is the man who knows where all the celebs' metaphorical (or indeed literal) bodies are buried. Who's gonna be left standing when the godfather of PR spills the beans?
SchNEWS has been left in a state of shock by the very idea that powerful people in positions of trust and authority could abuse their status for their own sick gratification. However, we can't help a bit of gleeful Schadenfreude as the cosy media palace starts crumbling around their ears. At this rate they'll have to take UK Gold off the air...
So the US election played out with a win for Obama. Yayy!!?? Er, well, no, of course not. Whilst nearly all (we're looking at you Hilary) democrats seem marginally less unappealing than any republicans, the whole multi-$bn-spending illusion of democracy in the most powerful nation on Earth just leaves just a sour taste in the mouth. (Choice? Two flavours of political party in America but 380 brands of shampoo: go figure. Take two bottles of ideology into the shower? No, I just brainwash and go...)
In honour of Obama's almost total failure to change anything fundamental in the first four years, lets trawl twitter (@injusticefacts if you must know) for some fun (and possibly even true) facts about the good ol' US of A (for those of you whose attention span is so damaged you can no longer digest any piece of information longer than 140 characters) whilst we look forward to the next four years of hope and no change...
* The US has 5% of the world's population, yet it uses 33% of the world's natural resources – and Americans use more electricity on Christmas lights than the yearly power usage of the entire African continent. * 60 percent of all Americans are either overweight or obese (wonder what percentage of those appearing on TV or in movies are obese?!) - while some 30,000 people literally starve to death each day. * In a survey of middle school American children, 92% were able to name 20 celebrities but failed to name 10 countries. * The richest 300 people in Europe and North America have the same income as 4.7 billion poor people; whilst as wealthiest nation on Earth, the U.S has the widest gap between rich and poor. * Each year, the U.S. spends more on war and destruction than the entire planet spends on healthcare. * The September 11 attacks killed 3000 people, the ensuing 'War' on terror has killed 1.5 million Iraqi and Afghani children (while 96% of Fox viewers did not know Bin Laden was previously a CIA operative) * If you're an African American male, your chances of ending in prison are 100000000000000000000% higher than becoming a billionaire – so fair play to Obama for bucking those odds at least...

Over 100 Scurry Co. Voter Registration Cards Deemed Undeliverable
By: Snyder Daily News
Updated: April 27, 2012
One of the primary reasons the cards are coming back is that the voter's mailing address is a post office box. However, the address on the voter registration card is a residence without a receptacle. Another reason is that the voter has moved.
The final day to register for the upcoming primary elections -- as well as change the address on a current voter registration card -- is Monday.
Even if the address is incorrect on the voter registration card, voters may still vote. However, they will have to vote in the precinct in which the registration card shows they live.
To check on the status of a missing voter registration card, or to change the address of a registered voter, contact the Scurry County Clerk's office at 573-5332 or visit the clerk's office on the third floor of the courthouse.

HGTV.com HGTV Message Boards Outdoors General Gardening (SOLVED) Need help identifying pests killing branches in my trees. |
Go | New | Find | Notify | Tools | Reply |
I noticed my plum tree in the backyard today looked dry, but it hasn't been. I went to check it out and the branches easily broke off. I noticed these little "white rice" looking objects within the branches. I decided to also check out a 2-year old willow in the front yard...same "bugs" in the branches. They didn't appear to be moving. I'm in East Tennessee and have not noticed termite swarms. We also just endured a fairly large 13 year cicada cycle for the last few months...silence is nice. I've looked and looked online and can not find a similar image of these bugs. I'm at a loss in identifying these and am telling myself that they aren't termites. Any ideas? And how do I stop them. This message has been edited. Last edited by: HortiCulture, | |||
I'm taking a wild guess here. Have you looked at Shothole borers? http://jenny.tfrec.wsu.edu/opm...aySpecies.php?pn=530 | ||||
Not sure if this little booger is related, but found it and another crawling on me while pruning out the dead and infested limbs in the willow tree. The "white rice" bugs, which I assume are larvae was found in a weeping willow tree, plum tree, and pear tree. Nearby apple tree, cherry, dogwood, dawn redwood, and juniper hollywoods appear to be unaffected...for now. Sadly, I don't think the plum tree is going to make it, there are little pin holes all over the tree. I believe the willow can withstand whatever this is, as it is growing faster than the infestation. Is there a treatment for this beetle? Anyone know what type it is? Do you think the larvae is of this beetle? This message has been edited. Last edited by: HortiCulture, | ||||
Solved...it appears that it was related to the recent 13 year cicada cycle. Just took the right Google search...cicada eggs. Beetle was an outlier Thanks cicadas, you've ruined my plum tree. | ||||
OMG You need a group hug! UGH!!! I thought Japanese Beetles were evil! What can you do? Spray the whole yard or what?!! This is making me itch! :>( !! "Those that throw mud, lose ground!" :>) | ||||
that's how it is supposed to work.... the female lays eggs into the twigs, near the end of the branch.... that portion of the twig dies, falls off, carrying her eggs to the ground ....once on the ground, at the right time, they'll leave the twig and go into the soil..... there to rest for the next 13 years or so..... most of the time, this doesn't do damage to the trees... unless they are the only ones around and very young.... I always saw it as a way Nature had of 'pruning' branches to let the tree grow more of them....while the bugs got to live on, too.... I'm sorry you think your tree is in danger.... have a lot of trees been removed in your area since the last cicadas outbreak?.... that may be why they're using the smaller trees....read here.... at 'they're doing the tree a favor'.... http://www.cicadamania.com/cic...-brood-xix-invasion/ "Gardening Keeps Me Growing!" | ||||

An "upcoming releases" flyer for the UK arm of retailer Blockbuster has apparently verified the release date of the PlayStation Vita, Sony's upcoming replacement to the PSP. The document, sent to IGN by an unknown UK gamer, suggests that the Vita will drop on October 28, 2011, in the UK at least, in both WiFi only and 3G+ WiFi forms
All Sony will say is that the Vita is on target for a "phased global release" this coming holiday season, even though has refused to be some more detailed than that. It is as well indistinct . . . → Read More: Blockbuster Flyers Hint Release Date of Sony's PS Vita

Personally considering how few people have watched this series, I have to say the series is underrated. Probably some things that deter people is the art and how the story moved in season 2. I think people just don't give this series enough credit at times. So do you think this series is underrated?

Reply to TheBigOFan72 - Message ID#: 57911874
The reason why they didn't decide to make a 3rd season, (oh how I wish they did!) was because there wasn't enough viewers for the 2nd season. It saddens me tremendously, how underrated this show is!
Reply to CatRabid - Message ID#: 58378238
But it got the best Adult Swim Anime ratings EVER! Yes, that's right... ever! Look it up, if you don't believe me, but it's been stated multiple times on these boards, with sources cited. If that's not enough for a Season 3, I don't know what is! Maybe that Japanese didn't want to do it? That's all I can think of.
Also, while Big O is very popular in America, it really hasn't been the case in Japan. And once shows get canceled in Japan, that is usually it. It's tends to be a lot harder for "revivals" to happen there, just from the way the TV system works, it seems. A shame, really. But I wouldn't mind it even if it was direct-to-DVD or something. I'd buy it!
Reply to ben0119 - Message ID#: 58379932
Yes I'd buy it too! I'd even be satisfied if it just had a movie to fully conclude everything.
Reply to CatRabid - Message ID#: 58378238
The problem is, this anime requires people to think. People don't always like to think. To fully appreciate the anime, one has to be able to understand the multiple levels. It's more than... golly there's the enemy: "Fry him."
If one didn't know about judeo-christian mythology, one wouldn't recognize why "Leviathan" is a serpent like 'mech. If one didn't know Hobbes, one wouldn't appreciate the comment about memories and imagination being the same. If one didn't know at least some things about NYC, the show wouldn't make quite as much sense. JFK Airport, the Flat Iron Building, Grand Central Station, the Empire State Building, the Chryler buidling, etc.

Reply to CatRabid - Message ID#: 58490070
Probable spoilers ahead!
Let's see here:
Watch Episodes 25 and 26 closely, and you'll learn quite abit about Vera, Angel, Alex, and Gordon.
B-666 might be a reference to the judeo-christian belief in the mark of the beast, generally considered by evangelicals and fundamentalists as being the number needed to conduct business/live/etc. during the time of the antichrist. Other view 666 as merely a reference to the existing Roman emperor. 666 is associated with satan, i.e. lucifer, more on that later
Stagelights-gears-etc.: In keeping with the theatrical nature of the series. Probably to demonstrate the off-stage direction which is going on.
"Rehearsing" her life: Remember Roger's comment about Angel that she needs to deal with herself as a person, or something to that effect.
That big yellow thing: You mean the massive quad-Megadeus, that looks like it should collapse from the bottom on top of Big-O when Roger holds it up? That would be Behemoth. Another example of plot-based wimpiness. Would have loved to see it better developed. Never get to see what those things that look like gun turrets on the legs actually do.
Wayneright's copper plated room: Note that metal plating is also present in the Megadeus construction/repair facility operated by Paradigm. While it's been a few years since I took chemistry/physics, I can tell you that the plating is for shielding from Electromagnetic signals and other types of radiation. Not 100% sure why copper though.
Winter Night Phantom: My best guess: Notice who is with the younger Dastun. Notice the oh *expletive* moment when Dastun recognizes who's on the pier. I'm assuming that Dastun had some type of relationship with the mother, given the apparent ages of the individuals involved. Either that, or since ages seem to be relative at times, that he had a relationship with the daughter herself. One really off-the-wall idea is that the daughter could be the product of the relationship between Dastun and the mother.
Isn't it interesting that in the end, Gordon seeks to consume the tomatoes? Trying to figure out the significance of that.
Reply to XenopusTex - Message ID#: 58495408
Dang! Those are some very well constructed answers!
Reply to CatRabid - Message ID#: 58504164
Of course they are I try to never do anything half-arsed. And, words are my career.
About lucifer and venus: Before lucifer became the "devil" or satan, lucifer was equated with light. For example, the enzyme in fireflies that produced bioluminescent light is called luciferase. Venus and lucifer were basically associated with light... note that the planet Venus is extremely bright in the night sky when visible (particularly if you're in a rural, non-light polluted environment).
Also in judeo-christian belief, lucifer was an uber angel, perhaps one of the most powerful before he "fell" to vanity.
Wings are a somewhat traditional aspect of angels, at least dating back to the late Medieval period. My thought is that this is why Angel has wingscars on her back which later turned into wings in Ep. 26.
Note the demonic looking first appearance of Big Venus. Ever seen Fantasia... and the end vignette with Mussorgsky's Night on Bald Mountain? (If not, find a copy and watch... the entire film is worth just seeing that). For some reason those two equate in my mind. Speaking of Big Venus, notice too that in the inital appearance, the Megadeus was the all powerful destroyer, seemed to never need to do anything than fire its eye lasers. In the end, Big Venus was the end all be all, as it eradicated Paradigm City in a slightly different way.
This does bring up the question of what stomped Paradigm City flat 40 years before. The one version of Big-O (didn't it have a slightly different colorscheme?) with a dead Roger Smith was clearly cored by something other than a Leviathan class Megadeus (unless there's hidden weaponry). I don't recall ever seeing whether Big-O's torso armour could take a laser blast or not; it seemed to be quiet pathetic if exposed.
Here's a wild hypothesis on the story line: What if Angel really is the director, but she's attempting to relive an event instead of creating a new work? What if Angel was the pilot/dominus of a superweapon among Megadei, i.e. Big Venus who was personally responsible for toasting Roger, etc. and found herself unable to live with what she did after the campaign, so she spends her time living in a fantasy of what was? And, that the scene in the control room was nothing more than hallucinations?
Long ago, when I had more free time than I do now, when I'd go to communities, I'd visit their graveyards to get some history. I recall one gravestone in Syracuse, NY at the large graveyard just off the campus of Syracuse University, which marked the grave of a WWI machine gunner who had committed suicide about 7-8 years after the war. While I don't remember the exact words, it was something akin to: Now he can finally rest, and can finally stop seeing all those he killed. Post-Traumatic Stress is a powerful thing.

Bridge work will also reduce traffic to one lane on Route 43 over the railroad tracks in Joplin, and work on the Main Street-Zora street interchange will continue to keep portions of Zora closed, and may cause lane closures on Main. Other area road closures that could affect your Monday commute include a traffic shift at the I-44 and Range Line Road interchange in Joplin, One-lane traffic at Routes 76 and 43 in Anderson, and the closure of Route AA north of stockton from 9AM through 2PM Monday while crews install drain pipes.

When I am trying to update a forum thread when widget loads as:
$core_v2_forumThread.Update($forum.Id, $thread.Id, "%{ _ExtendedAttributes_PageIndexQueryStringKey = '$core_v2_ui.PageIndexQueryStringKey'}")
I am getting following error:
Invocation of method 'Update' in Telligent.Evolution.VelocityExtensions.ForumThreadsScriptedContentFragments threw exception System.IO.FileLoadException : Could not load file or assembly 'CookComputing.XmlRpcV2, Version=22.214.171.124, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=a7d6e17aa302004d' or one of its dependencies. The located assembly's manifest definition does not match the assembly reference. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80131040)
Can anybody please suggest what can be the possible reason for this error?
I'm not sure offhand about that particular error, as that seems to indicate perhaps a different version of the XmlRpcV2 dll has somehow made its way into the /bin directory.
However, I am more curious about the initial call to forumThread.Update(). The PageIndexQueryStringKey is not a property of a thread (either directly or as an extended attribute), and cannot be updated. Additionally, while updating is supported through the Widget API, it is typically performed via ajax against the REST endpoints.
Can you share you what you are trying to do?
Hello Michael,
PageIndexQueryStringKey is an extended variable that I have added under forum thread and I need to update its value with widgets Page Index retrieved using Key $core_v2_ui.PageIndexQueryStringKey property.
Thank you. Can you identify what version of CookComputing.XmlRpcV2.dll is currently deployed in the Web/bin/ directory by navigating to its 'Details' property pane? It should be 126.96.36.199.
For CookComputing.XmlRpcV2.dll 'Details' property pane shows File version as well as product version as 126.96.36.199
Thanks. That would be the cause then. Evolution 6.0 ships with version 188.8.131.52 of XmlRpcV2.dll, and it's a strong-named assembly, so the same original version is required. Are you aware of any addons that may have been installed in this community that could have added in the newer version?
While it would be possible to re-copy the original version from the install package, I'd recommend first determining how the newer version got in there.
Hi Michael,
Thanks for the suggestion. I will check how new version of "CookComputing.XmlRpcV2.dll" has been updated on server.
We are using Telligent Community Server version 184.108.40.20680. So should there same version of XmlRpcV2.dll (i.e. 184.108.40.206) needs to be deployed on server?
Just out of curiosity, can you update any object's Extended Attribute key/values like this??

Activists say City Council Ignored Their Pleas for Help before Art Walk Incident
LOS ANGELES – Tuesday morning, participants of Occupy LA's Chalk Walk return to City Council chambers after a two week recess of council sessions. Chalk Walk activists say they want to know why LA City Council ignored their requests for help with chalking arrests before the Council went on recess.
Two Videos of Public Comment and copies of public records show the Occupiers contacted City Hall about two weeks prior to what the LA Times dubs the "Art Walk Melee".
Activists say the unfortunate violence by Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) could have been avoided if City Council would have taken action weeks earlier.
"A group of us attended the last two City Council meeting before they went on recess," says one Occupier who attended both Council meetings and the Chalk Walk event, "We told the council what the LAPD had been doing, shared case law and civil code, and not one stood up to help".
In addition, Occupiers blame the Mayor, some members of city council, the LAPD and the media for making false, misleading, hypocritical, and inaccurate statements about Occupiers and the events which took place at Art Walk on July 12th.
"The Mayor said chalking is not protected by the Constitution and has always been considered illegal vandalism," said another Chalking Activist— called a Chalktivist— "Yet, he doesn't say that he handed out chalk to be used on Sunset Blvd for Lance Armstrong's art campaign sponsored by Nike."
In 2009, the LA Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa joined a couple of City Councilmen to pass out boxes of yellow chalk to the public. The boxes encouraged people to "show commitment" by "filling sidewalks, driveways, and any blank canvas".
From photos of the event, it appears people did just that in the middle of the street with traffic. Activists say there were no cops in riot gear or rubber bullets at this event. It even appears the LAPD assisted the Mayor's chalkers.
Chalk activists say Councilman, Jose Huizar, whose district now includes most of Downtown, may have spoken too soon to reporters after the Downtown LA Art Walk incident without knowing all the facts of the case.
Meanwhile, Councilman Jose Huiza said in an emailed statement to Blog Downtown from his office that he supports the actions of officers at the Art Walk event.
"I support LAPD in its determination that public safety was jeopardized by a group of people on 5th and Spring at last night's Art Walk," Huizar wrote.
"If public safety is a concern of the LAPD then why would they fire rubber bullets into peaceful crowd made up of members of the public?" asked a Chalk Walk Organizer, "the LAPD were the only group on the corner of Fifth and Spring Streets that were jeopardizing public safety, not Occupiers or Artwalkers."
Occupiers maintain that the LAPD were the only ones jeopardizing public safety that night.
Activists say that Huizar's office has yet to contact them about the Art Walk incident, even though his office had successfully contacted Occupiers in the past regarding the new park-hours and tent ordinance, after the Mayor asked Huizar's office to draft it.
Occupiers will also speak during public comment at the LAPD Board of Police Commissioners meeting on Tuesday morning to follow up on the complaints they made at last week's meeting.

Christmas season has officially started on the campus of LaGrange College.
The campus celebrated "Christmas on the Hill" Monday evening with lots of activities and events for the community to enjoy.
There was fake snow for children to play in, live music and karaoke, various games and crafts, live reindeer and the children's favorite- a picture with Santa on his sleigh.
"Santa was my grandson's favorite part. He loves Santa." said LaGrange grandparent Betsy Fowler.
Fowler commended the college for its efforts to engage the community.
"This is a wonderful event. It's great that the fraternities and sororities are out doing things as well." said Fowler.
This year's Christmas celebration had a special focus on engaging and helping the community .
"We wanted to have the student body and community as a whole come together to celebrate Christmas, while also helping a good cause." said Allison Weeks, LaGrange student and volunteer for the event.
A donation of $5 or canned food products was suggested for the public to bring to help benefit the LaGrange Personal Aid Interfaith Food Closet and Harmony House.

Wagga Wagga (pronounced "wogga wogga"), an Aboriginal name meaning "place of many crows," is one of Australia's largest inland cities with a population of over 55,000. Wagga, as the locals …
