Press release from Business Wire
Covidien Launches Endo GIA™ Radial Reload with Tri-Staple™ Technology

 The Radial Reload allows surgeons to cut and securely staple colon tissue up to 2 cm deeper into the pelvis than the Ethicon Contour®1 Curved Cutter Stapler2

Thursday, May 31, 2012
Covidien Launches Endo GIA™ Radial Reload with Tri-Staple™ Technology18:39 EDT Thursday, May 31, 2012 NEW HAVEN, Conn. (Business Wire) -- Covidien (NYSE: COV), a leading global provider of healthcare products, today announced the launch of the Endo GIA™ Radial Reload with Tri-Staple™ technology. Endo GIA(TM) Radial Reload with Tri-Staple(TM) Technology (Photo: Business Wire) The Radial Reload is the newest addition to Covidien's line of stapling products featuring Tri-Staple technology and the latest innovation in the Company's growing colorectal surgery device portfolio. The Radial Reload allows surgeons to cut and securely staple colon tissue up to 2 cm deeper into the pelvis than Ethicon Endo-Surgery Inc.'s Contour® Curved Cutter Stapler during low anterior resection (LAR) procedures.2 "When performing LAR procedures, surgeons are faced with the challenge of completely resecting colorectal tumors or diseased tissue in the deep pelvis, while maintaining good visualization and appropriate distal margins with the ultimate goal of sphincter preservation and avoidance of an ostomy," said David E. Rivadeneira, MD, FACS, FASCRS, Chief of Colon and Rectal Surgery and Director of the Colon and Rectal Program at St. Catherine of Siena Medical Center and St. Charles Hospital. "In the cadaver study sponsored by Covidien, we demonstrated that the Radial Reload provides better access and visualization deep in the pelvis during open LAR, as compared to the Ethicon Contour® Curved Cutter Stapler.2 Deeper access into the lower pelvis can potentially help improve a surgeon's ability to perform sphincter salvage procedures and avoid a colostomy bag, which improves a patient's quality of life." The Radial Reload allows for an open or laparoscopic approach through a hand port or similar access device, and enables surgeons to operate with uncompromised access, visibility and maneuverability in the deep pelvis when performing LAR procedures. The Radial Reload incorporates Tri-Staple technology and its design benefits, such as less stress on tissue during compression and clamping3, potentially greater perfusion into the staple line4 and the ability to manage tissue variability. The Radial Reload will be on display at exhibit booth #101 during the American Society of Colon and Rectal Surgeons (ASCRS) Annual Scientific Meeting in San Antonio, Texas from June 2-6, 2012. The Radial Reload builds on a legacy of innovation in colorectal surgery device design that first started with the introduction of the Company's first EEA™ Circular Stapler in the late 1970s. Last year, Covidien launched its first reusable powered stapling product for colorectal surgery, the iDrive™ and Right Angle Linear Cutter. "Covidien is setting new standards for access, maneuverability and staple line security in LAR procedures with this innovative new design for the Radial Reload," said Mike Primavera, Director of Product Development, Surgical Solutions, Covidien. "Using feedback from our customers, we designed the device to deliver optimal performance, even in the most challenging cases." ABOUT COVIDIEN Covidien is a leading global healthcare products company that creates innovative medical solutions for better patient outcomes and delivers value through clinical leadership and excellence. Covidien manufactures, distributes and services a diverse range of industry-leading product lines in three segments: Medical Devices, Pharmaceuticals and Medical Supplies.

Excellent Quality/Presentation
Luminous Charm Foldover Pockets The program itself to personalize the invitations was sometimes a bit slow and had quirks so you have to be patient with it BUT when I received my invites in the mail yesterday and could not be happier with the way they were packaged and their quality.

Merida Rentals(140)

Recent Merida Reviews
Wonderful Home Base in Merida!
We just returned from an amazing two weeks in Merida based at Casa Del Sol. We absolutely loved Merida and our wonderful home there. Debora and David, the property managers, were extremely friendly and accommodating and were very responsive to any inquiries and needs (extra hangars, etc.). About the neighborhood - the house is a wonderful old colonial on a relatively quiet street about 10 minutes walk to the Grand Plaza, a five minute walk to the English Library or LA 68 for morning yoga with Raul, and a one minute walk to Dona Tere's amazing Cocina Economica on Calle 47, where I would have eaten every single meal (lunch at least) while there if my traveling companions would have let me. Two doors down is a little tienda, the owners of which were extremely accommodating, even lending me a squeezer to juice limes one evening. The neighbors across the street were super friendly and knowledgeable about the area and neighborhood - letting us know about a cenote located in the school down the street. Two Cantina's - one at each end of the block - were more than happy to make beer deliveries. It's a very easy walk to the Paseo de Mantejo, and if you are there on a Sunday, don't miss the opportunity to rent bikes! About the house itself - it's an incredible remodel - I went on two house tours and Casa Del Sol held up well in comparison. We were five in the house and had lots of room to spread out, and the big dining room table in the outside dining room was a great place for us to gather round with neighbors and new friends. The fountain was a nice touch, really lovely to hear the sound of the tinkling water especially in the evening. Couple of drawbacks were that the pool does not really get any direct sunlight, but you can catch some sun on the upstairs patio and also in the upstairs shower, which opens to a small private graveled courtyard. The other drawback was that hot water was at a minimum. Neither of which would keep me from staying at the house again. Lastly, Merida has mosquitoes...plan accordingly. The house has a wonderful vibe to it, as does all of this magical city. I am confident that you would enjoy your stay at Casa Del Sol. We are already looking forward to our return.
Gorgeous Home... An Oasis!
We had the pleasure of staying in this home for 10 days, and it was an incredible experience. The home is absolutely beautiful – the photos represent the house very well, but honestly don't do justice to the whole vibe of the place and how tranquil and lovely it is. The house was very well cared for, clean, and well stocked (we loved cooking in that beautiful kitchen!), and had nice quality linens and bedding. Tracy gave us great information to help us with our stay, and the property manager met us promptly to give us the keys and show us through the house when we arrived (even though it was nearly 10pm). They even helped us find local (English speaking) Chiropractors and Massage Therapists when my husband's back went out. I can't say enough good things about this place - it was so nice to be there lounging around we had to force ourselves to leave and go out sight-seeing! It was also great to be tucked in the neighborhood and experience what it's like to live there – we set out each day to walk the block or two around the corner to the Chen Bech market for produce, or one of the tortillerias just beyond. (Also, very tasty salbutes and panuches from a vendor that opens up in the evenings outside the Chen Bech market.) It's a short walk to the town square, just about a mile, and we found some great restaurants. Our favorites were Oliva Kitchen and Bar (Italian), a tiny place tucked on a quiet corner with amazing housemade pastas, and Apoala (located in the busier Parque Santa Lucia) had some of the best regional food; the steaks were spectacular and I loved the fried squash blossom appetizer! La Negrita was our favorite bar for afternoon stops; a happening spot with great music , a nice mix of locals and a few tourists here and there. Again, all about a mile walk from the house, and very safe. On the nights we were tired of being on our feet it was easy and inexpensive to grab a cab back to the house. Despite all the lounging at the house, we did manage to zip out to Progresso Beach for a day. It's an easy bus ride, but we ended up just jumping in a cab which cost about $20 USD each way. It was a fun little beach town, and there is a corner joint with some of the best rotisserie chicken I've ever had about 3-4 blocks due south of the beach on the main drag heading back to Merida. This is one of the best I've ever taken; I rarely want to visit the same place twice – but we will make a point to come back here to this house every year. Enjoy!
Great Value for a Large Space
This house provides a very large area for 2 couples. The master suite upstairs is accessed by an outside stairwell and is a very large space, almost like a separate casita. The main floor rooms are very large. The dining room features an entire wall waterfall feature. The spaces are as advertised. We ate out except for snacks but the kitchen was fully equipped. The only drawback during our stay in February was the pool is unheated and unfiltered. In the summer the unheated water may be welcome. The internet worked very well, which was important to us. The management company provided superior service and frequently went out of their way to make sure we had everything we wanted. The house is a couple of blocks from the CAME bus station so if you arrive by bus you can walk to the house with your luggage. It is about a 10-15 minute walk to downtown and within 5 minutes walking to San Juan and San Sebastian Parks, both of which have daily markets. Ermita is not as upscale an area as the area around Santa Lucia North of Centro, but then the rent is considerably less. We always felt safe in the area even when walking alone at night. I would recommend this house to anyone who wanted to be close to downtown Merida.

The Tonight Show With Jay Leno
Farewell, Jay Leno: Celebrities Tweet Their Goodbyes
Originally posted 02/07/2014 10:30AM
After 22 years interviewing the best in Hollywood, Jay Leno was bound to make a few A-list pals.
His final Tonight Show broadcast was full of special celebrity guests, and stars who couldn't join in the festivities sent Leno love through social media.
Sure, rival Conan O'Brien allowed himself one solid wisecrack during his own show: "The Olympics start airing tonight on NBC. It's very cool. That's right: NBC has the Olympics. It's a big deal. NBC will finally get to show somebody who is okay with passing the torch."
The Best of Jay Leno's 22 Years Behind the Tonight Show Desk

In his 22 years hosting The Tonight Show, Jay Leno crafted a winning formula: a bit of silliness, crossed with snark, and delivered with an utter lack of pretension.
As Leno prepares to hang up his Tonight Show spurs Thursday night, let's look back on some of the highlights of his decades-long tenure, from his news-making interviews to his 4,600 jokes about Bill Clinton:

Even on a bittersweet night, there had to be jokes.
Jay Leno has hosted The Tonight Show for a loooooong time. So tell us, Jay, how long was it?
"Here's how long," he said Thursday. "When I started hosting, marijuana was illegal and you could smoke cigarettes anywhere you wanted."
Actually, it was 22 years since he took over for Johnny Carson at NBC's venerable late-night show from beautiful downtown Burbank, not counting seven disastrous months in 2009 when Conan O'Brien helmed the program.
Now leaving a second time to make way for a new host – Jimmy Fallon – and a new city – New York – Leno, 63, said on his final show that this time it was his decision.

"You pay people to make sure you don't get in trouble – and party at your house. Buy a house, and add a club to it," Cyrus suggested. Proof her plan works?
"I don't see a Miley mug shot yet," she added.
Jay Leno on Leaving The Tonight Show: 'I Can Go Out on a School Night'
Originally posted 01/29/2014 03:00PM
There's one thing Jay Leno is looking forward to doing when he leaves The Tonight Show on Feb. 6 – going out on a weeknight instead of staying home and working on the following day's monologue.
"I can go out on a school night, which I've never been able to do," he said during an interview set to air on The Ellen DeGeneres Show on Wednesday. "I've never been out in 22 years on a Wednesday night. It's like, 'Oh you're doing something wrong. You have to go home and write jokes every single night.' "
While he's 63, Leno isn't retiring anytime soon. Instead he's going back to his roots as a stand-up comedian.
Jimmy Fallon, Seth Meyers Pass the Late Night Torch – in Hilarious Fashion

Seth Meyers is preparing to take the reins of Late Night from Jimmy Fallon when the latter moves to The Tonight Show, and Fallon had his successor on the show Tuesday night for an important tradition: the passing of the Late Night pickle.
This isn't just Fallon being Fallon, however: Apparently it's a real, longstanding Late Night tradition. David Letterman's staff gave the pickle to Conan O'Brien when he inherited the show, and O'Brien gave it to Fallon when he took over.

Article: Changes in the etiology of endophthalmitis from 2003 to 2010 in a large tertiary medical center.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: To ascertain the leading causes of endophthalmitis at the Tel Aviv Medical Center between 2003 and 2010. The design of the study is retrospective chart review. The medical records of all patients diagnosed with endophthalmitis in our center between 2003 and 2010 were reviewed for visual acuity and results of ophthalmologic examination at admission, treatment, complications, laboratory investigations, and final visual results. The etiologies of endophthalmitis after cataract surgery were compared for each year from 2003 to 2010, and after intravitreal (IVT) injection from 2006 to 2010. Eighty patients were diagnosed with endophthalmitis between 2003 and 2010: 46 male and 34 female, average age 70.7 years. A total of 27.5% were treated with IVT antibiotic injection only and 68.8% needed pars plana vitrectomy. Final visual acuity was better than counting fingers in 56.3% of cases. Surgery was almost the sole cause of endophthalmitis until 2005, when IVT injection became an important etiology. The incidence of postcataract endophthalmitis decreased significantly after 2007 and that following IVT injection decreased significantly after 2008. The leading etiology of endophthalmitis changed from postoperative endophthalmitis to endophthalmitis after IVT injection from 2003 to 2010, and the incidence of the infection as a complication of those procedures decreased.European journal of ophthalmology 05/2014; DOI:10.5301/ejo.5000473 · 1.06 Impact Factor
Article: Retrobulbar blood flow changes in eyes with diabetic retinopathy: a 10-year follow-up study.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: We sought to assess long-term changes in the flow parameters of retrobulbar vessels in diabetic patients. The retrobulbar circulation of 138 eyes was evaluated between 1994 and 1995 and 36 eyes were reevaluated between 2004 and 2008 (study group). They were divided into four groups: eyes of diabetic patients without diabetic retinopathy (DR), eyes with nonproliferative DR, eyes with proliferative DR, and eyes of nondiabetic patients (controls). Color Doppler imaging was used to assess the flow velocities in the major retrobulbar vessels. The resistive index (RI) was calculated and compared among the groups and between the two time periods. RI values of the central retinal artery and posterior ciliary artery had increased in the two non-DR groups and in the nonproliferative DR group, with a surprising decrease measured in eyes with proliferative DR (P= nonsignificant [NS]). Combining the nonproliferative DR and proliferative DR groups resulted in a milder increase of the RI of the posterior ciliary artery (P= NS) and the central retinal artery (P=0.02) in the DR group compared to the other groups. Our results demonstrate that an increase of the resistance in the retrobulbar vessels, as a part of DR, can lessen over time and may even be reversed.Clinical ophthalmology (Auckland, N.Z.) 01/2014; 8:2325-2332.

ABSTRACT: To describe the spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) findings in a case of Coats' disease, with emphasis on the intraretinal exudates. Case report of a 4.5-year-old girl who presented with total exudative retinal detachment and organized exudates in a stellate configuration. SD-OCT was performed before and after treatment, which included surgical drainage of subretinal fluid and indirect laser application during the surgery. At presentation, the SD-OCT showed an elevation of the foveal contour, with thickening of the retina, many exudates and a large quantity of subretinal fluid. Two months after the surgical treatment, SD-OCT revealed a significant reduction in the amount of subretinal fluids, but with persistence of the exudates. SD-OCT can be used as an important tool in order to describe the changes in each layer of the retina in Coats' disease. Considering the histopathological findings in Coats' disease, it is reasonable to assume that the exudates accumulate in the outer plexiform layer.01/2012; 3(1):11-5. DOI:10.1159/000335897

Ortho vs. Bayer Advanced for BS?
Hello all....several folks swear by Bayer Advanced Disease Control for advanced BS on roses but I have looked every where for it here.....Lowes, HomeDepot, Ace Lawn & Garden, and the local nurseries, and no one seems to carry it here locally. Has anyone used the Ortho Rose Pride Disease Control? I've used it as a preventative (didn't treat early enough this year) but not to treat after the fact and was wondering how effective it would be if I use it every week like some folks on here suggest using Bayer for advanced BS. Has anyone used it to treat BS? It's kind of expensive and I have 25 rose bushes to treat and am very cautious to "experiment" because of the cost factor. I really need something that has been tried and proven to work...can you tell I'm desperate!...lol....(crying)...lol.....(AUGHHHH,,,,,crying).
I have never been able to find the Bayer stuff here either but I use BannerMaxx which is extremely effective and works the same way as Bayer. You have to buy BannerMaxx on line and there is a cheaper product with the identical main ingredient. Ortho Rose Pride formerly Funginex is not as good as Bayer or Banner and costs 2 1/2 times as much per gal. of spray and has to be used more often. I would buy Banner or its' equivalent on line or the Bayer product based on all the favorable recommendations it has received here. Don't waste your time with Ortho.
I agree with Henry. The Ortho triforine product is satisfactory if you start early and use it every week, but will not give complete control under high disease pressure. The effectiveness may be similar to organic remedies such as sulfur and Cornell mixture.
Addiesue, see if your Lowes will order it for you. Or, you should be able to purchase it from Lowes online and select the "In-store pickup" option (free shipping to the store).
If not, then there are a couple of fungicides that have the same active ingredient as Banner Maxx (a systemic): Bonide Infuse and Fertilome Systemic Fungicide. Either of those in combination with mancozeb (Bonide Mancozeb Flowable), which is a surface fungicide, will work just fine. Call the local stores to see if they carry these products.
Here is a link to purchase it at Lowe's
Here is a link that might be useful: BAYER ADVANCED Disease Control
I guess I'm confused. Bayer's product claims to KILL existing blackspot spores? Not only prevent them, but kill them if they show up? Has this claim been verified? Do the spots disappear from the leaves?......Also the active ingredient in Bayer is 2.9% Tebuconzole. Is this a different name for Propiconazole which is the active ingredient in Banner Maxx or is it a different chemical? Banner Maxx has 14.3% of its active ingredient while Bayer has only 2.9%. Does that translate into using more of the Bayer product? In the end that would mean that the Bayer product wasn't as cost effective as Banner Maxx (or its cheaper generic form Honor Guard) as a preventative....I get the big whoop about Bayer if in fact it does KILL active infections, but after years of spraying as a preventative I really have a hard time believing that claim. I hope someone has some answers to my questions.
Generally, fungicides don't kill dormant spores, except for certain disinfectant products that aren't useful in the garden.
Surface-protectant fungicides such as mancozeb, Compass, and Daconil kill the spore as it germinates and attempts to penetrate the leaf surface.
Modern systemic fungicides such as Banner and Bayer are both surface-protective and potentially curative, depending on the fungus and the host plant. I have read research about Bayer and blackspot which found that tebuconazole is only 85% effective as a surface protectant (preventative). However, it is highly effective as a curative, able to destroy the fungal body already established within the leaf.
Spots don't disappear, but the fungus stops functioning and the leaf survives, providing it has not been too badly damaged already. Infections 10 days old were arrested by tebuconazole applied at that time.
Propiconazole (Banner) may well do the same thing, but hasn't been studied as much.
What Rosemania has been saying about their recommended fungicides is backwards wrong. Mancozeb is a surface-protectant or preventative fungicide that only kills spores when they are actively germinating on the leaf. Banner is a systemic with probable curative activity, as well as some preventative action.
Banner and Bayer are different chemicals from the same family. The package of Bayer sold at garden centers has been diluted in order to get the "Caution" label rather than something stronger. Therefore you have to use more of it per gallon of water. However, Bayer costs only 31 cents per gallon of spray mix.
To find the research I referred to, search: tebuconazole diplocarpon bonn. It is a PhD dissertation. There is also a journal article based on it.
Gee thanks Michael. I usually don't have outbreaks of B.S. because I spray when appropriate, but occasionally life happens and it blows up in my face. When that happened a few years ago I was told that for active infections to combine Mancozeb with BM when I sprayed. I'm thinking that's still good advice? Also since Mancozeb is not in the same class of fungicides as BM, you double whammy the protective power without building up resistance. I need to run a sick cat to the vets so I need to go. I appreciate any more input you care to give.......Maryl
Mancozeb and Compass are very effective preventatives (as is Daconil, if weather permits). It is good practice to combine or rotate them with Banner/Bayer to guard against resistance developing. However, from what I understand, Rosemania's "3 x 3" mancozeb treatment makes no sense, and you would be better off just to spray the combo. I'm sure that would be the case with Bayer.
I'm sorry to say I'm in ignorance of what Rosmania has to say about a spray schedule (3x3), and apparently that's a good thing. Since I normally have no problems with BS because of my preventative spray schedule I haven't paid much attention to the new kid on the block-Bayer. BTW I spray with Fungunex (Orthos Rose Pride) until the hot weather arrives as it is very effective against PM (as well as BS). Not so Banner Maxx, but don't know about the Bayer product. Thanks Michael for all your information. The killing power of Bayer was news to me and I appreciate it.
We bought ours from Star Nursery....if you google it, I think it's either in New Mexico or Arizona....can't remember. We used it very successfully for a few years. It does say that it actually KILLS EXISTING B/S. I believe it....it was great, but we found out that in NYS it's illegal to use (tebuconazole). Wish it were legal here, as it worked very well for us.
There is research that shows how tebuconazole (Bayer) and propiconazole (Banner) act as a preventative. There is NO research that indicates that either kills fungal cells. The exact way they work is well known and has been explained here. Members of this family of fungicides seem to maintain their effectiveness longer and better than other alternatives tested and it has been suggested that this is due to their greater systemic capability.
The fungus is not just"cells," rather it is an organism with a structure. I have posted links to microphotographs showing how tebuconazole breaks up the fungal body within the leaf so it is not able to do further damage. Of course, no fungicide could repair damage that has already been done to the systems within the leaf. And of course it does not erase the spots on the leaf surface.
Here is the abstract of the paper sent to me by Henry Kuska. It is available on line only if you buy it from the publisher. I cannot repost the complete paper he sent me other than to print and mail copies. I have read it carefully and it explains how two types of fungicides work and why triazoles apparently have a much longer lasting effect. My understanding is that triazoles do not break up the formed fungal body but rather prevent it from forming by inhibiting a vital component of the cell membrane. Thus the cell membranes are collapsed prior to formation but the action of fully formed fungal cells is irreversible. Damage already done runs to its' conclusion but further damage is prevented.
Here is a link that might be useful: Efficacy of triazoles....in controling blackspot of roses
"Triazoles ...allowed germination of some of the D. rosae conida...but germinated conida did not establish infection or lead to symptom development. This can be explained by the fact that during the initial phase of infection, fungi sensitive to sterol inhibitors contain enough ergosterol in the germinating spores to produce germ tubes and infection structures and to penetrate into the host tissue. When the fungus has depleted its' ergosterol and has absorbed...the fungicide from the plant tissue, the effect of the chemical becomes obvious...the uptake of the chemical inhibits the production of ergosterol (vital in stabilizing the cell membranes in the fungi) by the fungus and the fungus is killed by the depletion of the sterol building blocks necessary for the cell membrane. Application of triazoles early in the development of D. rosae led to almost complete inhibition of symptom development. Their application at the onset of symptom development arrested further symptom development giving significant reduction in symptom severity. This indicated that triazoles degraded fungal structures in the host tissues in such a way that further growth was inhibited."
Yes. The first 3 sentences refer to the protective or preventative function when the fungicide was applied before infection with the fungus. The spore germinates and penetrates the leaf where it "is killed" by action of the fungicide. Apparently this is a stage later than when the surface-protectant fungicides like mancozeb and Daconil do their work-- when the germ tube encounters the fungicide on the surface of the leaf.
The last 3 sentences refer to the "curative" function when the fungicide was applied 3-10 days after infection by the fungus. Tebuconazole "degraded fungal structures" and stopped their growth. If applied 3 days after infection, it prevented the development of spots; if applied 10 days after infection when spots were already visible, it stopped the development of the fungal body and allowed the leaf to survive.
The article is based on the pHD dissertation by Gachomo which I think is on the open web.
Here is a link that might be useful: blackspot research
Just out of curiosity I got out my book 'Diseases & Pests of Ornamental Plants 5th edition' by Pascal P. Pirone. Under the subject of B.S. and roses this is what is stated ..."While the powdery mildew fungus threads are almost entirely superficial, the threads (mycelium) of the black spot fungus are mostly under the protecting cuticle, so that fungicides cannot kill the fungus without destroying the leaf." Apparently we've moved on in modern chemistry since Mr. Pirone's 5th edition. No wonder I get confused.....
This may be semantics. What is clear is that triazoles stop D. rosae dead in its' tracks with tebuconazole being the better of the two tested. There is no further expression of symptoms. Spots on foliage are not cleared up but there are no new ones and damage doesn't get worse. This is pretty good. Is this curative or preventative? I guess it doesn't matter. The authors also believe that triazoles are very systemic which is extremely important for effectiveness. The other class of fungicides in the study had strong initial effectiveness but it didn't last. It also seems apparent that trying to prevent D. rosae by spraying to kill the D. rosae conida before they can germinate is far less worthwhile than using a systemic which prevents damage even after germination has occurred and in addition you don't have to worry about covering all surfaces. The implication? If you have a severe outbreak don't bother with Mancozeb...spray tebuconazole as the most effective way to stop the outbreak of symptoms and prevent further damage. I have one last question which is are the various triazoles more or less equal in effectiveness? The study suggests they aren't since tebuconazole had more lasting effectiveness than the other triazole tested. It is a ringing endorsement for tebuconazole (Bayer) but not necessarily for others such as propiconazole (BannerMaxx). Based on this I may actually switch to Bayer.
Henry, the other systemic fungicide in the study was the chemical sold as Immunox. It's too bad we don't yet (so far as I know) have a comparative study of propiconazole and tebuconazole vs. blackspot, but we do have gardeners' experiences that both are highly effective. One difference is that Bayer may be used at 7-day intervals if needed. This may mean that it is less prone to growth-regulating effects, but a comparative study on roses is wanting.

Spectricide manufactures Immunox. It's main active ingredient is Myclobutanil....Yes, I do believe that with all the above information If I ever have a bad BS infection I might try the Bayer product over using the standard Mancozeb/Fungunex or Mancozeb/Banner Maxx forumula...Maybe there will come a day when we don't have to spray preventatively at all, only if we see an active infection. As human beings we certainly don't take antibiotics all the time just in case a germ happens to come along.

Mice eating washing machine
First pest issue, hope you lot can help me nip it in the bud. Putting my tools away in the shed after fixing the washing machine and there was a very big wasp casing the joint, I guess it must be a queen looking for somewhere to build a nest. Wherever she landed I just couldn't get the rolled up Sunday Express to give her a clatter. In the end I could hear her buzzing deep in the shed but couldn't see her. Any tips to stop her building a nest in there?
Second pest issue is why I was fixing the washing machine in the first place. Rodents have been nibbling holes in the pipes. I tried traps, no good. Put down heaps of poison, still no good, they are either avoiding it or are immune. Have a cat and he won't catch mice, only flies and spiders.
I have read about rodents eating wires on Toyota vehicles, because the rubber coating was made with natural based instead of petroleum based products, but not ... pvc pipes.
However .... years (decades?) ago, friends of ours had a rat under the house. They did not know it until it chewed a hole into the plastic tub of their dishwasher. And, homeowners insurance does not cover "rodent damage."

Cheetahs v Sharks - Live
80 Sharks lineout again struggles so the Cheetahs have one last chance as the hooter goes. Wide passes but not making much ground but the Cheetahs win a penalty. Tap and go, du Plessis stepping as the Cheetahs reach halfway. Van der Walt carries but the ball is lost forward - the Sharks win! Gutsy second half from the visitors but the Cheetahs let a 15-6 lead slip away. Vital win for the Sharks.
79 Sadie looks to have pushed Ludik as he went past chasing the kick, and the TMO has deemed that to be a penalty. Sharks breathe again with only a minute to go!
78 Drama as the Cheetahs steal the ball and Sadie chips and chases, hacking on right into the Sharks 22. Huge opportunity is then blown in the worst manner as Luiters throws a forward pass. The referee is coming back to see if there was any illegal contact when the kick went through, upstairs to the TMO we go...
76 Ball lost forward by Liebenberg and the Sharks will now have the scrum. Sharks dominating territory as Reinach nudges beautifully into the corner.
74 Raubenheimer flattens Reinach into touch as the Sharks nine looked to use the blindside, so the Cheetahs get the lineout. Building the phases they might be but the ball is going backwards, Cheetahs have to show patience here. Ebersohn gets over halfway.
72 Cross-field kick from Watts but that's a poor attempt at a catch by Daniller, so the Sharks now get that scrum inside their own half. Time running out on the hosts.
70 Sadie runs well as the Cheetahs start to click, but the ball is lost and the Sharks clear long. Rhule has time but the ball is touched so it's play on, Deysel the man to clear things up. Kick through from the Sharks rolls dead so we come back for a Cheetahs scrum.
68 Cheetahs winning the penalty inside their own 22, great work by captain Prinsloo at the breakdown. Lineout now for the hosts inside the Sharks half.
65 TRY, SHARKS, LUDIK! 15-18: Butch James on for Zeilinga to try and close out the match for the visitors. Huge error from the Cheetahs under the high ball and Mvovo pounces in the 22, but the ball is too slow at the ruck. Beautifully then worked by Reinach, onto Mvovo to Ludik for the try! Great play down the left by the Sharks who are back in front.
61 Sharks scrum beginning to rule here, winning another penalty as Prinsloo seeks answers. Another driving maul though is held up, the Cheetahs disrupting that area of the match but their lead is under threat.
58 Sharks rolling maul from the resulting lineout is held up as the Sharks fail to use it, Cheetahs scrum well in their own half. Forward they go showing great promise but, as has been the norm in this half, that ball is knocked on. Sharks scrum.
56 Cheetahs pinged for deliberately wheeling the scrum, so Zeilinga will have a long-range shot at goal. He misses, his first of the season, so the Cheetahs keep their slender lead.
53 Defences very much on top as the Sharks kick more, Cheetahs have the lineout their side of halfway. Knocked on, so that's a Sharks scrum. Major drop off in tempo so far in this half but the Cheetahs still lead.
51 Yet another poor lineout from the Sharks, Ebersohn kicking but only as far as Mvovo. Big tackle by Watts on Ludik, Sharks still with the ball though but the defences are holding. Poor pass from Van Tonder puts Zeilinga under pressure so Rhule can counter, up to halfway.
49 Sharks penalty and Zeilinga tries to quickly find territory with a kick to touch, but Daniller fields out and the Cheetahs slowly secure the ball and clear through Watts.
46 Long lineout from the Cheetahs who are in a good position here. Watts to Sadie, around five metres out, but the ball is stolen by Burden who runs away into the Cheetahs half. Good counter-rucking from the Cheetahs and they win the ball back. Knocked on by Sadie in midfield, Sharks scrum 40 metres out.
45 Ball lost forward by the Sharks so the Cheetahs have a scrum inside the Sharks half. Macleod disrupting but the Sharks are penalised, Watts kicking into the corner.
45 Burden on momentarily but the Sharks lose the ball at the lineout, their execution letting them down. Pair of kicks ends with the Cheetahs having a lineout on their own ten-metre line.
43 Sharks enjoying the majority of territory so far, winning a lineout on the Cheetahs 22 but Cooper is down so questions over who will throw the ball in. Played stopped as the hooker receives treatment but in a very promising attacking position.
40 Second half underway as Zeilinga kicks off, Smit finding touch with the response.
40 TRY, SHARKS, DEYSEL! 15-13: First scrum is reset, Sharks desperate for a try before half-time. Steady scrum with the ball at the base, another advantage as the hooter sounds. Deysel taps and look at the power! Over the big flanker goes from short-range and the Sharks get that try. Zeilinga converts. Excellent first half with both sides dominating phases of play. Two points in it.
40 Zeilinga hits a huge gap and looks all but over, but that is some heroic work from Ebersohn to hold him up over the line. Five-metre scrum to the Sharks then with time running out.
38 Daniller skips a tackle and goes over the halfway line. Labuschagne in space, Cheetahs looking very fluid in attack. Great steal by Deysel at the breakdown so the Sharks now in possession. Quick hands from left to right as Maseko steps. De Jager penalised as the Sharks get the advantage.
36 Sharks not hanging around as Deysel carries up, around 10 metres out from the Cheetahs line. Ludik stepping, poor pass to Mvovo and the Cheetahs counter! They kick long and Von Tonder is under enormous pressure at the back, but the Sharks do get the ball away.
34 On their fourth maul attempt, the Sharks are penalised for accident obstruction. Scrum to the Cheetahs, who only have seven men on the park. Nyakane received treatment but is staying on. First scrum is reset, the second one is messy for the Cheetahs who somehow get the ball into touch from Watts.
32 YELLOW CARD, SHARKS, PRINSLOO! Jason Jafhta has had enough and Boom Prinsloo heads to the bin - the Cheetahs without their captain after another penalty was conceded close to the line.
31 Second penalty for the Sharks and a second kick into the corner from Zeilinga. Driving maul from the visitors then collapsed five metres out, another penalty advantage. Strong blast on the whistle from the referee, Prinsloo spoken to and the Sharks again go for the maul.
29 Deysel, now wearing number 24, making a nuisance of himself around the fringes as the Sharks attack in the Cheetahs 22. Penalty won as Rhule goes off his feet, Zeilinga kicks into the corner.
26 Cheetahs showing great aggression at the breakdown, turning over the ball just inside the Sharks half. Wide pass to Rhule who is clipped round the ankles, Cheetahs still in possession. Ball lost by De Jager as the Sharks counter.
23 TRY, CHEETAHS, RHULE! 15-6: Sharks lineout is loose from Cooper and Nyakane hacks on, Sharks forced to scramble back and Mvovo kicks into touch. Lineout secured as the Cheetahs press forward - advantage being played. Watts, Ebersohn and Daniller combine in narrow space by the right, smart play. Loose pass but Rhule clears up, jinks and scores! Well taken try and Smit converts.
21 TRY, CHEETAHS, LABUSCHAGNE! 8-6: Macleod clears with a box kick into touch, but not many metres made there. Effective maul from the Cheetahs now, back to five metres out from the Sharks line. De Jager carries strongly... Labuschagne is in! Brushed off the first tackler and got low to the line. Cheetahs back in front. Smit's conversion hits the post.
18 Cheetahs then in a great position down the middle of the pitch. They come left through Watts, another penalty and Pretorius goes quickly once again, van der Walt held short. Nyakane doesn't make enough ground, Leibenberg just short of the try line. Wide to Daniller but the pass was poor and he is well stopped, Rhule then bundled into touch. Good play by the Sharks defence there.
16 Cheetahs then with a great attacking scrum here. Deysel off to the blood bin, Mtembu on momentarily. Penalty Cheetahs, Pretorius taps and Watts looks to be over... no, he is held up. Scrum five again to the Cheetahs.
13 Awful kick off attempt from Smit, Sharks get the scrum in midfield on halfway. Cheetahs back in possession as Deysel receives treatment - big centres making yards for the Cheetahs now as they enjoy some possession. Smit goes through the gap! Skips round two but brought down, Nyakane rumbling forward. Wide ball to Watts who is stopped, Prinsloo held up just short of the line. Scrum to the hosts, excellent passage of play.
12 DROP GOAL, SHARKS, ZEILINGA! 3-6: Williams pressing forward for the Sharks, back into the Cheetahs 22. Back to Zeilinga in the pocket... the drop goal goes over! Sharks into the lead for the first time.
10 Try for Chadwick on his second carry ruled out for an accidental obstruction, so the Cheetahs have a five-metre scrum. Cheetahs with the heavier pack, 572kgs to 565kgs. Reset, van der Walt runs away and then Watts finds touch.
8 Poor chip from the Sharks but Watts is forced to carry it into touch, so the Sharks have a dangerous lineout on the edge of the 22. Strong run from Chadwick up to five metres out... Deysel with a charge. One metre short, and we're going upstairs to the TMO.
7 Macleod's box kick clears the danger so the Cheetahs start from their own half. Two Sharks kicks charged down so Prinsloo takes the Cheetahs forward. Pretorius loses the ball at the breakdown so the hosts go backwards, Watts kicking long for territory.
5 PENALTY, SHARKS, ZEILINGA! 3-3: Scores level as Zeilanga lands the long-range shot at goal.
3 Good clearance from Watts from the restart - Sharks lineout by halfway. Taken by Wentzel, Marais breaking the line briefly as the Sharks build up. Cheetahs not rolling away, Ebersohn penalised, so the Sharks have a penalty 40 metres out.
1 PENALTY, CHEETAHS, SMIT! 3-0: Opening points coming from the right winger Riaan Smit. The 29-year-old knocks over the penalty from out on the left on the edge of the 22. Cheetahs lead.
Jason Jafhta gives the ok - we're off! Sharks slow to react as the Cheetahs pressure them, sealing off at the breakdown and that's a penalty to the hosts.
A clear, dry night in Bloemfontein with not much wind to worry about.
The Sharks are boosted by the return of Keegan Daniel. Jacques Botes will retain the captaincy playing at number eight. The loss of Odwa Ndungane with a hamstring strain means last week's debutant SP Marias shifts back to his preferred position at full-back while Sizo Maseko, who missed last week's match, returns to the wing.
Free State Cheetahs coach Naka Drotske has named Springbok prop Trevor Nyakane in his starting XV. Lock Teboho Mohoje comes into the starting line up as a replacement for the injured Waltie Vermeulen. Freddie Ngoza had been included as lock cover on the replacement bench. Sarel Pretorius will again start at scrum-half with Kevin Luiters coming onto the bench in the place of Piet van Zyl, who has been called up to the Springboks.
Hello and welcome to Free State Stadium in Bloemfontein as the Cheetahs host the Sharks to begin this weekend's Currie Cup action.
