on May 3, 2013He told me to meet him in the morning for a coffee at the casino. I dont remember the name of the casino anymore, but it was only a few miles from where Earl Cossey lived outside Seattle, and it was an odd time and an even stranger place for a coffee interview, I remember thinking. But there Cossey was, amid the empty slots, greeting the cocktail waitresses he knew and telling me about the infamous parachutes he packed, parachutes the hijacker known as D.B. Cooper used after strapping $200,000 to his chest, jumping out the back of a Northwest Orient over the Pacific Northwest and never to be seen again.
The D.B. Cooper case remains one the nations most baffling unsolved mysteries how could anyone jump out of a commercial jet liner with all that cash and never get caught? and yet, within the folds of the caper, amid a truly bizarre cast of real-life characters, Cossey the parachute packer had been one. Earlier this week, his part of the tale got only stranger, after his daughter found dead in his garage. The cause of death was blunt force trauma to his head, the coroner has said. Earl Cossey had apparently been beaten to death and left in the garage for days. He was 71.
Cossey was not an integral player in the Cooper saga, nor did he know much about the case. His greatest contribution was arguably not even packing the parachutes the hijacker used. It was his optimisim. As an expert skydiver in the area, Cossey was summoned to see Bureau agents in the days after Cooper disappeared. At the time, according to the Bureaus original Cooper case files, many of the lead agents hunting for the hijacker were convinced that Cooper was a master skydiver if he indeed pulled off the jump. Agents were so gung-ho on this theory they went through over 14,000 registration cards for skydivers in the Pacific Northwest. The Bureau even sent undercover agents to a skydiving contest across the border to Canada to look for suspects.
The feds were wrong though, Cossey said. Cooper didnt need to be a pro skydiver to pull off the jump. According to documents that outline his Bureau interviews, Cossey told agents that with only six or seven jumps with an instructor the hijacker could have landed safely in the forests of the Pacific Northwest.
The feds were surprised. During the first days of the investigation, it was the widespread belief among agents (and still is today) that Cooper died in the jump. Cossey added on to a narrative that was catching on across the country, that Cooper was an everyman Robin Hood, a counter-culture hero who beat the system, a sky pirate that pulled off the perfect crime. Others who were falling for the Cooper myth were fanciful believers. Cossey was not. He was a skydiving expert.
When we met in the casino, Cossey could have cared less whether Cooper landed the jump or was speared to death on the tip of spruce tree. Cossey was annoyed that his name was always associated with the hijacker. He felt like an accidental victim of the Cooper Curse, what so many have called the hex that through the years seems to plague those involved in the mysterious hijacking. Cossey was irritated that reporters like me kept calling him to ask about the parachutes. FBI agents too. He was also upset that after all these years, the FBI never returned to the chutes to him. He had packed them in his garage, he told me, manufacturing each of the chutes from spare parts and military surplus.
There is nothing at play now no clues nor hunches that suggest the murder of Earl Cossey has anything to do with the famous mystery he came to loathe so much. As the police look for a suspect, the homicide case seems to validate Cosseys annoyance. Even in death, the parachute packer could not escape from Cooperland.

Brody Miller of Montana State Billings has been selected the Great Northwest Athletic Conference player of the year for baseball.
Miller, a junior shortstop from Missoula, hit a team-high .390 this season with six home runs, 34 RBIs and 37 runs scored.
Miller led the GNAC in on-base percentage at .495 and tied for the lead in doubles with 16 and was second in slugging percentage at .587. His 67 hits were a single-season record for the Yellowjackets.
"Brody is a coach's dream as a hitter," said MSUB coach Rob Bishop. "His desire to be a better hitter has resulted in the great season he was able to put together this year. Brody is a leader on our team and has the respect of every guy in the program. He has made great strides in his mental toughness since he began his career here as a freshman."
Miller has started every game but one since joining the Yellowjackets.
He now ranks second all-time at MSUB for hits (179), home runs (11), RBIs (99), runs (92) and at-bats (521).
Brandon Williams of Central Washington was selected the GNAC Pitcher of the Year, while teammate Cory Welch is the league's top newcomer. Saint Martin's Zack Larsen is the GNAC Freshman of the Year.
Luke Reinschmidt and Kevin Toon joined Miller on the All-GNAC first team.
Reinschmidt, a sophomore outfielder from Billings, hit .359 with 16 doubles and a GNAC-high five triples. On March 28 against Northwest Nazarene, Reinschmidt became only the third player in league history to hit for the cycle.
Toon, a sophomore first baseman from Walla Walla, Wash., hit .348 with 28 RBIs and 10 doubles.
MSUB relief pitcher Jake Mills earned second-team all-GNAC honors, while starting pitcher Brady Muller and outfielder Bret Bitow were honorable mention selections.
Miller was 4-3 in 20 appearances this season with a 2.76 ERA. He allowed only 18 runs and struck out 26 in 42.1 innings.
Muller was 3-3 with a 5.33 ERA in 11 appearances. He struck out 36 in 49 innings. Muller, a junior from Billings, now ranks first all-time for wins (14) and strikeouts (153). He is also second for innings pitched (190.2).
Bitow, a junior from Puyallup, Wash., hit .282 with 48 hits, including eight doubles, five triples and three home runs. He had 22 RBIs.

Donations are being collected at Robbins Village Hall and Shepard High School to cover the funeral costs for a woman and two teenagers who were murdered last week by a family member.
For reasons that remain unknown, Michael Worsham, of Robbins, shot and killed his wife, Michelle Ollie; their son, Steven Roe, 17; and their daughter, Trisdion Worsham, 15, on Feb. 2 before police found him dead on his bed, authorities said. His cause of death remains uncertain pending toxicology results, according to the Cook County medical examiner's office.
Two other children, Worsham's 14-year old stepson and that teen's five-year old nephew, were able to escape unharmed from the house in the 13600 block of Pulaski Road.
The teen is a student at Shepard, and Roe and Trisdion Worsham also attended the Palos Heights school.
"While this tragedy has sent shock waves throughout the Robbins community, residents have come together to offer support to the remaining child who we consider a hero," Robbins Mayor Tyrone Ward said. "He saved his life, and he saved the life of his 5-year-old nephew."
The funeral for three victims is scheduled for 10 a.m. Friday at the Holy Temple Cathedral, 15912 Lincoln Ave., Harvey.
Sweet Holy Spirit Church of Chicago senior pastor Larry D. Trotter said he will make a donation, and he urged other clergymen to do likewise. The money will also be used to pay for the 14-year-old boy's education expenses.
All checks should be written to Shepard High School. For more information, call the village of Robbins at (708) 385-8940, ext. 262.

Welcome to the Maple Syrup Producers Association of Connecticut (MSPAC). The traditional season to make maple syrup in Connecticut extends from early February until late March. This is called "the sugaring season". Freezing nights and warm, sunny days are necessary for the maple tree to yield sap, a colorless liquid with a light, sweet taste (2%-4% sugar). Maple syrup producers, also referred to as sugarmakers, collect this maple sap, and through boiling, the maple taste and amber color are formed. We hope you enjoy reading more about MSPAC, syrup making and all things maple!

about the challenge
Want your employees to be healthy and happy?
Want to have fun, create a buzz around the water cooler, do some team building?
YES? Then the 2014 Business Commute Challenge is perfect for your organization!
What is it about?
- It's about exploring active/healthy transportation options.
- It's about driving less and saving money.
- It's a chance to win great prizes.
- It's about the fun factor!
The Business Commute Challenge (BCC) is an annual week-long, friendly competition amongst local area Eugene-Springfield businesses to see who can save the most non-drive alone trips in one week! (based on a formula) It's where employers and workplace teams join forces to turn the daily commute into a transportation adventure. Walk. Bike. Bus. Pool. Click.
Why join the Challenge?
"… it was a blast! What a great event … great awards and especially great people. Thanks so much for ….. pulling this together and keeping everyone engaged throughout the week. We take this stuff seriously… not only to win each year… but to commit to being better stewards all year long. I'm thankful that we live in a community that shares the same values and this event brings us all together. Keep up the great work!" Kelley
Last year, more than 2,100 local employees formed 172 teams that represented 107 businesses took the Challenge. In just one week, the BCC participants reduced single -person car travel by 69,051 miles, reducing 70,700 pounds of carbon dioxide, and saving approximately $11,566* at today's gas prices! That's money that stays in their pocket and in our community. And that means a healthier planet. How cool is that?
Think outside the car and join the adventure!
Registration for the 2014 Business Commute Challenge is live! Trip reporting will begin on Saturday, May 10.
Send us an email if you want to be notified of the 2014 BCC events.
The BCC is managed by point2point, the region's Transportation Options program.
*Calculated using a mid-size car that gets 20mg and gas at $3.35 a gallon.

I just noticed a couple of rose bushes with the dreaded BS. Outs been so wet here in central Illinois . Can anyone comment from their experience, which is the best overall fungicide for roses??one that stops BS in its tracks! Thanks! |
Follow-Up Postings:
Bayer Advanced Garden Disease Control for Roses, Flowers, and Bushes. Just don't confuse it with Bayer 2-in-1 or Bayer 3-in-1 which everyone will try to sell you instead. They have insecticides and fertilizers in them also--you don't need all of that. Just get the fungicide I listed first. You will probably have to go to Lowes to get it--places like wal-mart or home depot don't carry it. Or you can order it online and get it within a few days. Follow directions and spray only on a windless day--usually before 10 in the morning, although the winds will often calm down to almost nothing late in the afternoon sometimes. The rose leaves will need several hours to dry off. Bayer will stop the infection but will not eliminate the spots that are already there. It will also keep any new infection away for at least a couple weeks. You might need to spray every 2 weeks for a while if the BS pressure continues heavy and long. I usually find 1-2 times is enough for quite a while. You will need a plastic hand-pump sprayer (costs maybe $20)--got mine at Home Depot, but I assume Lowes has it also. Check the name carefully--I'm not kidding--they will try to sell you the stuff you do not want. Kate |
What Kate said but I'll add a couple of tips. Water everything very well the day before you spray. It helps if the roses are well hydrated before spraying. I know it's still cool right now but for future reference you should never spray anything if the temps are over 80 degrees. That's too hot and the leaves could burn. |

The active ingredient in Bayer Advanced Disease Control is tebuconazole. Even though tebuconazole is a German product, the European Union has banned tebuconazole as of 2018. "Most of the pesticides concerned are produced by German chemical industry giants Bayer or BASF, and include Amitrol, Ioxynil, Tepraloxydim, Epoxiconazole, Iprodion, Metconazole, Tebuconazole and Thiacloprid." http://digitaljournal.com/article/265134 Apparently the reason for the ban is: "Due to the potential for endocrine disrupting effects, tebuconazole was assessed by the Swedish Chemicals Agency [3] as being potentially removed from the market by EU regulation 1107/2009.[4]" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tebuconazole --------------------------- Authors: Jacobsen PR, Christiansen S, Boberg J, Nellemann C, Hass U. Authors affiliation: Department of Toxicology and Risk Assessment, National Food Institute, Technical University of Denmark, S├ā┬Ėborg, Denmark. Published in: Int J Androl. 2010 Apr;33(2):pages 434-42. Abstract: "Risk assessment is currently based on the no observed adverse effect levels (NOAELs) for single compounds. Humans are exposed to a mixture of chemicals and recent studies in our laboratory have shown that combined exposure to endocrine disrupters can cause adverse effects on male sexual development, even though the doses of the single compounds are below their individual NOAELs for anti-androgenic effects. Consequently, we have initiated a large project where the purpose is to study mixture effects of endocrine disrupting pesticides at low doses. In the initial range-finding mixture studies, rats were gavaged during gestation and lactation with five doses of a mixture of the fungicides procymidone, mancozeb, epoxyconazole, tebuconazole and prochloraz. The mixture ratio was chosen according to the doses of each individual pesticide that produced no observable effects on pregnancy length and pup survival in our laboratory and the dose levels used ranged from 25 to 100% of this mixture. All dose levels caused increased gestation length and dose levels above 25% caused impaired parturition leading to markedly decreased number of live born offspring and high pup perinatal mortality. The sexual differentiation of the pups was affected at 25% and higher as anogenital distance was affected in both male and female offspring at birth and the male offspring exhibited malformations of the genital tubercle, increased nipple retention, and decreased prostate and epididymis weights at pup day 13. The results show that doses of endocrine disrupting pesticides, which appear to induce no effects on gestation length, parturition and pup mortality when judged on their own, induced marked adverse effects on these endpoints in concert with other pesticides. In addition, the sexual differentiation of the offspring was affected. This as well as the predictability of the combination effects based on dose-additivity modelling will be studied further in a large dose-response study." http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/20487043 ------------------------------------- "Endocrine-Disrupting Activities In Vivo of the Fungicides Tebuconazole and Epoxiconazole" http://toxsci.oxfordjournals.org/content/100/2/464.full?sid=89cbb2cc-b636-4c33-bc06-81ecb01b63b5 |

Yes, I would recommend you don't eat your roses after you spray them. |

This is from a very new "Available online 28 April 2013 In Press, Corrected Proof" reviewed scientific paper. "In conclusion, a cytotoxic effect of the tebuconazole-based fungicide in bovine peripheral lymphocytes was established. Considering the human and animal exposures to the fungicide, a statistically significant increase in the CA and SCE frequencies in bovine peripheral lymphocytes also provides the data on the potential clastogenic/genotoxic effects of the commercial fungicide that could result in adverse health consequences." H.Kuska comment. I recommend utilization of the Precautionary Principle. |

Well, it's really not a matter of eating your roses but more a matter of releasing a toxic agent into the atmosphere where it has the potential to harm any number of beneficial insects and birds. I would concentrate more on finding roses that are very resistant to blackspot than spraying possibly or probably harmful chemicals around for the sake of a few roses. My roses have had terrible mildew and before that blackspot this spring, but both have now mostly resolved with the warmer weather. My worst-affected plant with blackspot I cut down to the ground. If it continues to have that problem it's gone from my garden. There are plenty of other roses that are more resistant. |

I just don't want people who read this forum to be afraid of asking about sprays because of the strong views of a couple of members. While we are all in awe of @henry_kuska's ability to google, and we are all fond of reading the endless links to wikipedia entries, the original poster asked which would best solve their disease problems. Presumably, they had already decided they were happy to use sprays, and will use them responsibly. So to my mind, instead of trying to force ones philosophy onto others, a simple response to the query, such as that of @seil and @dublinbay is probably more the type we should be offering. Mine was a tad sarcastic, and for that I hang my head in shame lol |

The following was stated: "Presumably, they had already decided they were happy to use sprays, and will use them responsibly." H.Kuska comment. I do not understand how someone can use a chemical responsibility unless he/she is aware of what scientists are saying about the potential dangers of the use of that chemical. "Abstract.

These included reduced prostate and epididymis weights, increased testes weights, altered prostate histopathology, increased density of mammary glands, reduced sperm counts, and decreased spatial learning.

If you want to research something, research confirmation bias. The posts he writes aren't guidance, he hasn't the courage for that, instead of saying, 'I don't spray because...' or 'you shouldn't spray because...' he fills the forum with questionable science copied from wikipedia. He's trying to baffle with bullsh!t the people he can't blind with dodgy science. The chemicals in these sprays are licensed for mass use on edibles. They are sprayed in vast quantities by farmers all over the world. Are we really saying that the relatively miniscule amounts that are used on roses are such a big problem. If you want to stop spraying roses because rats fed with the stuff in a lab showed symptoms that's your prerogative. And posting that you wouldn't spray if you knew what you were talking about, which is pretty much what "I do not understand how someone can use a chemical responsibility unless he/she is aware of what scientists are saying about the potential dangers of the use of that chemical" means, takes arrogance to a whole new level. |

Google Scholar is probably the main literature source that scientists now use. One of its main features is that it also includes what newer papers have cited a given paper. In most cases, the general public only gets to see the abstract of the paper without paying a fee (unless the journal is an open access journal). Often from a research university the full paper is available for download. When using any literature search program, it is important to set up the search terms so that almost all of the papers of interest are found and that almost all of the not of interest papers are excluded. For this thread the keywords tebuconazole and human delivers: 114 hits so far this year, 397 hits from 2012 to the present and 912 hits from 2009 to the present. For this thread the keywords tebuconazole and health delivers: 128 hits so far this year, 462 hits from 2012 to the present and 1170 hits from 2009 to the present. (Of course one could look at hits for the "any time" period, but science is normally cumulative so that the recent papers will contain citations to the earlier ones.) Unfortunately the "sort by date" function does not appear to function correctly. I normally start with the 2013 papers and then work my way back. |

I came across this this morning. It is not about tebuconazole specifically but it is about endocrine disruptors in general and about paying attention to what scientific research is reporting. The author is Brian Moench, president of Utah Physicians for a Healthy Environment and a member of Union of Concerned Scientists. "It is a spring ritual for state agencies, farmers and gardeners to arm themselves with chemicals to wipe out insects and weeds, with little thought of the broader consequences. It is long overdue that this ritual give way to science. Numerous physician/scientist groups, including the American Academy of Pediatrics, Physicians for Social Responsibility and the Endocrine Society have made unambiguous position statements about the danger of the chemical stew we live in, from pesticides in particular. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Salt Lake Tribune article
"Previously licensed chemicals such as DDT and Diazinon have been withdrawn from some markets due to safety concerns." Using the ban of DDT as an example of a good result because of the "concern for safety" is unfortunate. There were cities in Africa whose health statistics went from zero malaria deaths per year to over 100,000 deaths the first year following the ban. There are some estimates of over 50 million deaths worldwide because of the loss in poor nations of DDT as a cheap and effective tool to fight malaria. Yes, there are some real problems with DDT, but single minded fanaticism about its dangers ended up killing millions of people. Single minded fanatics have a way of missing the big picture like that. |
"Single minded fanatics" And that is EXACTLY why freedom to post about both sides of an issue is important. Put *all* the information on the table. |
Look, chemicals can be dangerous. Even household chemicals. It's wise to know the risks and follow precautions. But we don't need scare tactics on every thread about spraying. I have cut down on chemicals that I use inside and outside. But I still spray my roses. I do it carefully, on a windless day. I wear eye protection and long sleeves/pants and gloves. I also use an extended spray arm, so I'm not near the spray. I wouldn't be able to grow roses if I couldn't spray. Recently, because the weather has been crazy, and I couldn't get a good dry windless day on the weekend to spray, I've done it the past 2 times in the evening. And now I think that is preferable. The air is more still, you don't have to worry about the sun burning the leaves, and it's a lot cooler out. Try it! |
gardenlady, if you are still reading, don't blame yourself for the major turn this thread took. It is not your fault. You have the answer above to your question (which is the best fungicide). If the information in the "take-over" interests you, by all means read it. If all that is much more than you were looking for, ignore it. Your choice. However, now you know that there is controversy in the rose world, don't you! : ) My practical advice is don't use a fungicide unless it is absolutely necessary; if you need to use it, use it as infrequently as possible while still getting the job done. Take some practical precautions: cover arms and legs, put those clothes in the wash immediately after you finish spraying and take a shower--just to be on the safe side. And spray only when there is very little to no wind (usually earlier in the morning)--you don't want a faceful of spray from stray breezes! Don't eat or smoke while spraying--until you have washed your clothes and body. It is good to remember that these sprays can cause damage if mis-used, so read directions carefully. And don't be surprised if my "practical" advice to you absolutely infuriates the anti-sprayer activists in the crowd. So be it. Final bit of advice: if the BS is minor and just occasional, learn to live with it rather than rushing out the spray. Wishing you good luck in your garden. : ) Kate |

buford and dublinbay, thank you for the safe way to spray information. That was missing in the first part of this thread but was included in the earlier thread that I linked to. --------------------------------------------------- The following was stated: "We all understand the world and how it works. Politics, corruption, --------. " H.Kuska comment. I wish the above that everyone understands was true, but unfortunately there appears to still be many people who believe that if the government approved it, it must be safe. Even if there is no corruption, there is still the time lag of around 5 years that it takes the government to subject an already approved chemical to re-review. That is why I recommend that individuals pay attention to what current research is reporting about a chemical that he/she in considering using and if flags are found utilize the precautionary principle until the government review process is completed. Unfortunately there is what some will describe as corruption. This is the influence of special interests groups on the review process. The Utah link that I gave above cites the following: "Worse still, in a clear conflict of interest, if not outright corruption, a member of the board of directors of the Utah Pest Control and Lawncare Association, XXXXXX '┐Į'┐Į" essentially as a lobbyist for pesticide applicators '┐Į'┐Į" is the XXXXXXXX of UDAFŌĆÖs pesticide program. ItŌĆÖs like the tobacco companies regulating smoking." H.Kuska additional comment: at the federal level, you may find the following link of interest. (Two quotes to tweak your interest.) " By executive order, OIRA is supposed to review proposed rules within 90 days of receiving them, with the possibility of a single, 30-day extension. ThatŌĆÖs four months, maximum. Why has the chemicals of concern list been at OIRA for three years? No one is saying." And "EPA rules seem to draw extra scrutiny. ŌĆ£EPA receives more sustained attention from OIRA than any other federal agency,ŌĆØ Heinzerling writes. Fifteen of the 22 EPA rules under review have been at OIRA for more than a year." |

dublinbay, I must not be an "anti-sprayer activist" because I find your advice to be very sound and sensible. To me spraying should be a last-ditch effort when other methods have failed, and personally I would take out the roses that are most affected by disease, but then again until this year I didn't have much of a problem with disease. It's up to everyone to weigh having roses against having to spray them to keep them healthy, and for me if I had to spray everything every two weeks in order to keep it in my garden I'd be growing nothing but irises, day lilies and pelargoniums. As has been pointed out, spraying in a private garden is small beer compared to the wholesale spraying that goes on with the foods that we do put in our mouths, and that does worry me more. But that's another subject altogether... Ingrid |
I'm with you, Ingrid. Any rose that needs regular spraying all season long quickly gets the boot in my garden. The first line of defense is planting only those roses that have at least "good" disease-resistance--even better, "very good" to "excellent" disease-resistance. But even the best of roses can be susceptible occasionally to BS, especially in regions with heavy BS pressures--so decisions have to be made. I can accept having to spray a couple times in the spring (heavy BS time) and a couple times in the fall (second heaviest BS time) --but much more than that, and I start looking around for a new home for that rose--in someone else's yard! I particularly like your statement, Ingrid, that "spraying in a private garden is small beer compared to the wholesale spraying that goes on with the foods that we do put in our mouths, and that does worry me more. Yes, it is a matter of perspective sometimes, isn't it! Kate |

I have to laugh. I would like to know how many of us smoke cigarettes while spraying fungicide. Good grief, why would anyone who smokes cigarettes worry about spraying fungicide? Concerned about experiencing endocrine problems before the lung cancer killed them? Okay, now back to our regularly scheduled discussion... |

It appears that some people think of experiencing endocrine problems as a one generation problem. However, "Some EDCs produce effects that can cross generations (transgenerational effects), such that exposure of a pregnant woman or wild animal may affect not only the development of her offspring but also their offspring over several generations. This means that the increase in disease rates we are seeing today could in part be due to exposures of our grandparents to EDCs, and these effects could increase over each generation due to both transgenerational transmission of the altered programming and continued exposure across generations." |

Perhaps at least half of the readers may be interested in this report presented at the New York Academy of Sciences June 11, 2012.: Title: "IN VITRO INHIBITION OF BREAST CANCER RESISTANT PROTEIN (BCRP) TRANSPORT ACTIVITY BY ENDOCRINE DISRUPTING CHEMICALS Author: Qi Wang1 Authors affiliation: 1 Rutgers University, Department of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Piscataway, NJ 2 Joint Graduate Program in Toxicology, Rutgers/UMDNJ, Piscataway, NJ , Kristin M Bircsak1,2, Lauren M Aleksunes1 Abstract: The scientific community has voiced increasing concern regarding disruption of endocrine and reproductive systems as a result of exposure to xenobiotics during pregnancy. These endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) are diverse and include plasticizers, mycotoxins, phytoestrogens, and pesticides. The breast cancer resistance protein (BCRP) is a chemical efflux transporter expressed in the placenta as well as the developing fetus. Inhibition of the fetoprotective function of BCRP may be a mechanism involved in developmental toxicities following EDC exposure. The purpose of this study was to characterize EDCs as potential substrates and inhibitors of the BCRP transporter. Two in vitro screening assays, the BCRP ATPase assay and inverted membrane vesicle assay, were usedto test interactions between BCRP and twelve chemicals with potential for endocrine disruption: bisphenol A, genistein, methoxychlor, prochloraz, zearalenone, tebuconazole, propiconazole, tributyltin, zeranol, myclobutanil, propargite and epoxiconazole. Based on the ATPase assay, it was confirmed that genistein is a substrate for BCRP, while slight increases in ATP hydrolysis were observed for tributyltin, zeranol, zearalenone and bisphenol A, indicating they may be possible substrates. In both assays, all twelve EDCs inhibited BCRP transport of known substrates. The order of inhibitory potency was genistein> tributyltin> zeranol> zearalenoneŌēī methoxychlor> tebuconazole> prochlorazŌēģ propargite> propiconazole> epiconazole> bisphenol A > myclobutanil. Cell-based studies are currently underway to further characterize the inhibitory kinetics of EDCs on BCRP-mediated transport. These findings may assist in risk assessment of perinatal exposure to these chemicals. Supported by ES-005022, DK-080774, ES-020522." |

Henry, Do you every go out in your garden any more? Or do you just squat by your computer finding all this evil about roses? Aren't you so old you can't even find your endocrines...let enough tell if they've been disrupted. Go pester another hobby and give up roses. You obviously hate them. |
Really, all this bashing because someone presents scientific information to keep you better inform. Isn't there a saying, the more you know. You might not agree with him but the information he's providing is not about hating roses or gardening for that matter. But to help you approach it from a safer manner. |

I wish there was some way to take most of this poor persons post and have it opened as another post all together. That way if you are interested in what someone has to say about certain products, let them read and post. You know, I've heard for years that "exhibitors run new rose growers off because they try to force people to grow this kind of rose or that type of rose". Good gravy folks. You talk about trying to "stuff" something down someones throat. The one thing I have learned about my hobby is not to discourage new rose growers. ENCORAGE them and answers their questions without stuffing "my way" down their throat. This garbage of taking over a post to promote someones personal feelings about something has got to come to an end. If I was a new rose grower with a question about something and this happened to my post, I'd go somewhere else. There are 29 post to this persons question. How many actually answered the question?? This has turned into a garbage can. |
We all very probably have an over 'room temperature' I.Q. Reading cautions once or twice should arm us with what we need to know. I am a new rose lover and am trying to get what I need from the many folks on this forum that have great experience. I really don't want to see one million words SO ALRIGHT ALREADY, I KNOW NOT TO USE THE BAD SPRAYS OFTEN AND TO TAKE CARE WHEN I DO! andrea |
One thing I would caution about using ANY systemic fungicide is that using the same product exclusively for a whole season can encourage development of resistant strains of the fungus. That also applies to products with different chemicals but with the same mode of action(MOA) If you are going to use a systemic, do it with a strategy that will not encourage resistance. There are many such strategies so you have a choice. |
Sympathize with your discovery of blackspot & your efforts to defeat it, Gardenlady48! Here in high rainfall humid central Virginia I've dealt with it, too. My first response is to remove sources of active infection. Snip off the spotted leaves with small scissors, dipping the blades in a jar of plain rubbing (isopropyl) alcohol between cuts to disinfect. (A quart of this alcohol can be found in the first aid section of any store & costs around a dollar. Pour some in a jar large enough to dip the blades of snippers & pruners.) Clean up any fallen leaves as well as those you remove & trash them (do not compost). Notice the location of the spotted leaves. In my garden they often start at the base of the canes. This can be from water splashback off the soil or mulch in heavy rains & humidity higher at the soil line especially if shaded or mulched. If you notice the lower leaves are spotted & have mulch beneath those roses, remove & trash it, too. WouldnŌĆÖt replace it until youŌĆÖre sure the problem is gone. Sometimes the spotted leaves will be further up the canes where they branch. Crowded leafy growth at these junctions can prevent proper drying, light & air circulation to cause ideal conditions for fungal infections such as blackspot. You donŌĆÖt mention the type of rose or how long theyŌĆÖve been in your garden. Roses are usually pruned before leaf out to head off this type of growth. If your roses are new to your garden this year, they may not have been pruned this way & it may help to do it selectively now if you find blackspot in this type of location, basically thinning out to admit light & air. Sometimes the new tip growth, being so tender, will succumb to blackspot in excessively rainy weather. Cutting it back to the next set of unblemished leaves & waiting for the temporary weather conditions to pass may be all thatŌĆÖs needed. So what to do depends upon what an investigation reveals. If these measures prove inadequate, IŌĆÖve occasionally sprayed with old-fashioned mixtures like baking soda & non-GMO canola oil or sulpur temporarily. Fungal infections seem highly pH & weather dependent. HavenŌĆÖt needed to spray anything for years now (knock on wood) so canŌĆÖt give recommendations without digging up my old notebooks & the garden is calling to me. You might go over to the Organic Rose Growing forum here on GardenWeb & see what they suggest. When spraying had best luck in the early evening after wind & heat died down on a plant already well watered earlier. Fine mist spray applied with one of those long wand extensions that can spray the undersides of leaves as thoroughly as the top & spray the soil surface without disturbing it worked well. Clean the sprayer with soap & water & rinse thoroughly to eliminate any residue that may mix with the next stuff you may use in the sprayer. On former occasions where blackspot shows up suddenly & all leaves are showing infection, IŌĆÖve trimmed off all the leaves & flowers, removed any mulch & sprayed the bare canes & soil beneath the rose. Sometimes this was due to trying a rose in shadier or more crowded conditions than it needed. In those cases they were moved at the same time to sunnier or airier locations, or their neighbors were moved or thinned, or tree branches were trimmed to allow more light & air. A detective response to what might improve the situation & health. This often worked & the new growth was clean. Sometimes it didnŌĆÖt & sometimes the rose was just young & outgrew its tendency to blackspot as it matured. Often at the end of the growing season with an Indian Summer & excessive rain, even mature roses here will spot a few leaves. I donŌĆÖt hold it against them & simply remove the affected leaves, tidy the area when they go dormant & have no problems the following season. When a rose continually blackspots & fails to thrive over time even with these measures, it may be a poor specimen as an individual plant & I may try again with the same variety, sometimes successfully & sometimes not. Have learned to hedge my bets by planting (or transplanting) new roses into pots for observation before planting into the garden. Much easier to move a pot than a rose in the ground. Also research roses resistant in the area & shy away from those with poor reports. And buy the healthiest plants I can find to begin with. In early days of rose growing, took a while to realize I was starting with growth-forced plants that didnŌĆÖt have a good chance of becoming solidly healthy without intentional coddling. Fungal diseases gain entry into a garden in so many ways, consider it impossible to eliminate. Like the common cold germs everywhere, some exposed come down with it & others donŌĆÖt at any given time. Like to concentrate efforts on giving the garden what it needs to promote health. Let us know what you find & do to successfully intercede! |

Just wanted to add to the original poster - Fungicide is best use as a preventative measure so spraying it now, once the fungus is on the leaves, will not cause those leaves to clear from the blackspot. Many of us who spray (I spray some of my worst roses and don't spray others), start at the beginning of the season before the roses have even leafed out and before the fungus is able to spread, and spray regularly. Also, do not make the same mistake I made originally - sources do suggest to remove infected leaves. On some of my roses, a majority of the leaves get infected. Do not remove a majority of the leaves. Roses need leaves for photosynthesis and removing all of its food making capabilities will stress it more than blackspot. In those cases, I left the leaves be until the rose grew other leaves and the infected ones fell and then cleaned them up. Good luck! |
Tebuconazole (Bayer) ... propiconazole (Banner Maxx) ... everything else that's said is just hysterics, IMHO. They're among the most inoffensive chemicals around. The stuff is even used in shampoos to prevent dandruff - Nizoral (ketaconazole). |
Bayer advanced is very effective. Picture has nothing to do with anything. I just like to show off. |

Toyota Sienna Care & Maintenance
wills5 Posts: 1If your Sienna won't idle when the engine is cold, then it is likely that the IAC valve is sticking.
Loosen your aircleaner cover by popping out the clips on the fender side. Wiggle it out of the holds on the engine side. Take the 4 inch airduct off the end by loosening the screw clamp.
Look down the duct with a flash light. You will see that the duct splits as it enters two throttle control units. The rear-most throttle control has a square hole in the bottom of it which you can see if you hold the duct straight and the light just right. Take a piece of plastic pipe or tubing with about a 3/8-1/2" inside diameter and stick it down to this square hole. Blow Gumout carburetor cleaner or a similar product through the tubing or pipe for about 3 seconds. Let it dry for about 30 minutes and repeat. Let it dry an hour and then reattach the airduct and the air cleaner cover. Start the car. It may take a few cranks to get any excess cleaner out of the system. Unless you have waited too long befor using this technique and thus damaged the IAC valve, this should solve the problem. -
gsemike Long Island, NYPosts: 1,802My 04 XLE with 70k is having a little bit of a hard start problem that has been diagnosed as the fuel pump. Shop is pushing me to replace the fuel pump assembly.

Can anyone recommend and good online parts houses that I can source one from? -

Additionally, what is the process to replace it altogether? How many hours am I looking at? -

I needs some help here for my friends 2004 Siena LE with 8 seats.
This car is daily driven, without disconnecting battery or jump-start lately.
Its SMOG inspection fails because of MIL/ODB II not ready.
When I use a scanner, I find that there have two monitors not ready or
1): O2 sensor 2): EVAP.
1): There has no error code, (completed or pending).
2): MIL (Check Engine Light) is NOT on.
3): Five monitors (misfire, fuel, etc ) are completed.
Driving looks noraml in any condition.
Any comments? Thanks. -
steine13 Posts: 2,437This is nasty; no error codes per se, but "not ready" is going to be beyond the shade-tree mechanic.
Go to siennachat.org and ask around. With luck, someone has had this and can point you in the right direction.
OBD-II is fantastic when it works, and it has proven very reliable, but when the system fails, you gots trouble.
The googles and enthusiast's web sites are your friend.
Good luck,

steine13 Posts: 2,437I'm not familiar with the layout on the new ones; we have an '03.
But if it's halfway accessible, just get a strap wrench at the auto parts store... even my grocery store carries them.
I don't k now why the factory puts them on as tightly as they do. I spin them on and take them off by hand on both our cars.

acurafan10 Posts: 3I have a 2001 Toyota Sienna LE with ~115,000 miles. It has the check engine light ON and is now due for inspection. The codes being read are P0440, P0441 and P0446 pointing to evap problem. I have already taken it to a local mechanic who is saying that he has thoroughly checked the emissions system (using smoke test) and found no leakages or cracks anywhere. He has now asked me to go to the dealer as it requires special diagnostics/tools that he does not have. In the mechanic's words, "you are at the mercy of a toyota dealer now". Can someone please help and advice what I can do to take care of this problem. My inspection sticker has already expired. Also, when I mentioned these codes to a local Firestone service manager, he was aking me to replace three items:
- Purge Valve
- Canister
- Canister Shutoff Valve
Reading thru the information on the web, I am confused as to which valves are part of the canister and which are seperate from the canister. In other words, do I need to replace all valves seperately or are some of the values included as part of a new canister assembly. Thanks for your assistance. -
dooper67 Posts: 224 months ago during routine service, my Toyota dealer found the control arms/bushings to be separated. That was about $400 parts and $1000 labor. Today, a front spring broke, bending the control arms, and destroying a tire. Luckily, this was at slow speed and my wife could pull over safely. Would have been a different story on the expressway at 65 mph. This will be another $2400. So, these 2 repairs are almost 50% of the car's value. I didn't see this issue raised in any other forum discussions. Any thoughts on this issue? Does this sound like just bad luck, or possibly a faulty repair the first time? Should I go ahead with the repair and keep the car, or trade it in. BTW, our dealer has a very good reputation. Thanks.
steine13 Posts: 2,437On a 2004, I had not heard anything of the sort ... We had the rubber bushing (insert?) on our 2003 separate as well, when the car was relatively new and barely out of warranty.
Since I never went to the dealer for anything after the purchase, I didn't even try to get a warranty claim honored. I think it was a bad batch of control arms in 2003 -- consumer report's ratings show a black spot for that category for that year only. It would not be unthinkable that the part hasn't really changed for the redesign and the 'badness' carried into the next model year.
The replacement part has been fine; i kept the originals to see if they can be rebuilt... they can... but you need to buy the part for the Avalon... I read that year's ago, can't give you a source.
As far as the spring breaking: That should never happen, but I don't see how they could have caused it during the repair. Either way, you couldn't prove it.
With a car that old -- any car, really -- you need to find a good independent mechanic to handle stuff for you. Develop a good relationship and some trust, and it'll work out for both of you.

greginillinois Posts: 1Our 2009 Sienna lost all of its' refrigerant charge. Tech found a leak at front evaporator core with sniffer. Turns out Toyota's new design requires the replacement of a $1300 assembly, plus about $1000 in labor to tear dash out. Don't think I'll get any help from Toyota on this, but isn't it unreasonable to expect a $2300 repair on a 4 year old vehicle? This is our 4th and probably last Toyota. Any similar experiences??

We had the same problem with our 2001 Sienna and tried your fix. It works! A couple of hours after, it idled about 300 rpm. it took a day or so for the idle to stay up around 1100 rpm.
A thousand thanks for posting this. We like our dealer & their service guys, but this was great. -
zontar101 Posts: 2Had the same exact problem with my 2004 Sienna XLE. The control arm rubber around the metal middle completely came apart. We found out when we were experiencing a kind of jerking stop when backing up.
This year had the same problem with the top motor mount; the rubber again essentially is failing.
What I found was that a good, trusted auto body repair shop was able to do the repair at about 40% the cost of the dealer for the control arms.
Good luck with your fix, hopefully it wont be too painful -
dudleyr Posts: 3,464135k miles on my 06 Sienna. Had to replace the fuel pump. Car would run fine then suddenly lose power while underway. Fixed by restarting, but would then happen again.
Dealer kept it for a few days to duplicate and wound up replacing the fuel pump. $900 as it was in the fuel tank. They did not have one in stock as they say they never break - just my luck.
I suppose I can't complain too much about the repair - other than the inconvenience as it happened while on vacation so we never made our destination.
In nearly 8 years and 135k miles this is the second repair. First was a new actuator for the power door that I installed myself. So total repairs over 8 years is just over $1,000. I would rather have no repairs, but I suppose things could be much worse if a tranny went bad or head gasket blew.
Of course my Accord has 165k miles and has a total of $105 in repairs (O2 Sensor), so my expectations are pretty high. -

jproc Posts: 135My turn signals stopped working so I figured it was a blown fuse (first one in 13.5 years of ownership)Anyway got out the owners manual which told me fuse box was under the hood.Found it and then realized rest of manual might as well have been written in an extinct dialect as I couldn't figure out what fuse was supposed to do what-my manual appears to say that the turn signals are governed by a 7.5 amp fuse-alas I have no 7.5 amp fuses-it also appears to say that it is the one in the upper right hand corner-after 45 minites I managed to extract the fuse in that spot (gnarling up both my hands in the process) and replaced it and nothing happened.
So if anyone has a sienna of that year and knows anything about the fuses HELP.
Lastly my hoses appear cracked in spots-I'm guessing that means I should replace them but am hoping someone who knows better than I will tell me its normal for hoses to look like that

Daemon Extensions need more data
I need to pass some information to my library: a path to run from.
I figure there are a couple ways to get this info to the library, here are some ideas:
(1) Pass it through the postgres daemon
(2) have the library read a file
(3) have the library get an environment variable
I don't really want to rewrite postgres, so option 1 is mostly out.
A configuration file would work.
I tested option 3 and it worked, but it didn't do what I expected.
More on option 3: The environment variable idea doesn't work from the caller's environment, but from the daemon's environment. Duh. Well, that is all well and good, but it would be nice to vary the setting on a per user basis.
I'm somewhat confused on how to do this right. Is there an elegant way to get at the caller's environment to modify the operating paramters of a daemon?
BTW, this is my first post. Please enlighten me if I've committed any sins.

I probably should have put this in Linux Programming & Scripting.
If a moderator sees this, pls move it there.

HELENA- The Montana Supreme Court is refusing to grant a Missoula attorney's request to disqualify a local judge in what justices call a "mind numbing" legal battle.
The appeal is the latest legal dust-up involving Missoula attorney Kristine Davenport who has been fighting with the courts since first being accused of shoplifting in the 1990s. In the most recent case from 2008, Davenport had been charged with misdemeanors for speeding and "community decay", a charge usually tied to neighborhood complaints about property.
Davenport took on the case herself after a public defender withdrew, but accused Missoula Justice Court Judge John Odlin of "collaborating" with prosecutors to force her to sign a plea agreement. She also claimed Odlin was refusing her motions and depriving her of her constitutional rights.
She also said Odlin was "friends" with Missoula County Sheriff's deputies as a former state trooper, invades privacy by taking social security numbers from defendants and was guilty of various "criminal and ethical violations".
Missoula District Court found Davenport's claims were "unfounded allegations" which had "furiously delayed" her misdemeanor case. And on review the High Court agreed.
Justice Michael Wheat, writing the opinion, said Davenport had "done nothing on appeal but repeat her unfounded, outrageous and conclusory accusations against everyone involved in her case".
