Grubs, Grubs, Grubs...
I have identified the problem in my lawn described in the thread posted here.
It's grubs. I dug up a few patches of grass and found grubs right under the grass in numerous spots. Within a 6" x 6" area, I was easily able to find 2-3, without looking hard at all. I had a Japanese Beetle infestation earlier this year, so I'm assuming there's a relation.
So, the question is - what to do at this point. Earlier in the year, when I had my Japanese Beetle problem, I purchased some nematodes from a place that someone on here recommended. I put them down the day they arrived - that was in mid-July. However, my understanding is that the nematodes kill the larvae, but not the full-grown grubs, so perhaps it was too late at that point.
Should I go a chemical route (grub-x) at this point, or have I missed my opportunity to take care of them this year? Just count on the nematodes to take care of the problem for next year?
I've worked hard on eradicating the chemicals from my lawn-care arsenal and really don't want to kill any of the little beneficial soil guys I've been growing all year!!!
Thanks in advance for any help.
The grubs in your lawn have finished feeding. Killing them now would be like closing the barn doors after the horses have escaped. Nematodes now would kill them, but what's the point? The time to put out the nematodes is the very day you see the Japanese beetles. If they swarm your porch lights or where ever you see them, that's the time. Then you can get to the feeding maggots with the BN. If you want to be preventive about it, you can apply nematodes in late winter (which is Valentine's Day for us in San Antonio) and again in mid May. The best time to apply is during a persistent rain lasting several days. That way your soil is nice and wet for them.
I to have found these little larvae in my dead grass, but alas it is to late mid October now.So my questions now are... What do I need to do next because I can just pick up parts of my lawn like a rug.I have collected about 50 of these things (going fishing later this week might as well get some good from this)Do I seed in the late fall and re seed in the spring. Or do I need to get rid of them now,in the spring or not at all because it is to late?
Any help will be very appreciated.
I cannot believe it! Saw some grass yellowing and under further inspection found the grass coming up easily with many grubs. I got an old plastic butter "bucket" and put as many as I could find in it, the put some compost on the area with the grass back in place. Is there anything else I can do at this point seeing as how it will be cold in Michigan very soon. Uggghh. Overseeded this year and my grass was looking great. Any wisdom/guidance would be helpful.
Please, I need help. My lawn is dying from grubs. I just applied my 2nd application of liquid Grub Beater but I have huge bare spots that need to be fixed. We use organic on our lawn.
Is it too late to kill the grubs? What should I do for next year?
Can I overseed given that I still have active grubs on the lawn?
Thanks for any info you can provide!
I started my 2 year application of Milky Spore this year. So far I have put down 2 of the 3 first year applications. I need to do the same next year. Japanese Beetles/Grubs were not that bad this year. It does take time for the spore to set up shop in your soil so I am sure I won't know the true results for a couple years. I live in SE Mass.
There are several members of the Scarab Beetle family, japanese Beetles are one, that lay eggs in the soil that become these "C" shaped grubs we are all taught to hate with a passion. Research at several universities has found that if the population of the grubs is around 10 per square foot you can have a problem but that fewer then 5 per square foot are not. The adult beetles lay the eggs in July and August and they hatch and are then very susceptible to Milky Spore Disease, "Bacillus popilleae" which they must ingest as they feed. As the soil cools these grubs will move down further into the soil for the winter and they stop feeding, but in the spring, as the soil warms, they come back toward the surface to feed for a short time before they pupate to become the adult beeltes. Milky Spore Disease is effective, for a short time during the early stages of these grubs life, shortly after they hatch so it should be applied in early August, at the latest. Milky Spore Disease is also a very passive means of control. You put it down and then hope the grubs find it and ingest it, which is why those that need immediate gratification find it not vey effective.
Beneficial nematodes, which eat the grubs can be applied about the same time or a little later.
GrubX is not an acceptable organic solution because it is a broad spectrum poison that will kill many of the soil insects, both beneficial and harmful.

It is the biggest night of awards season tonight, with the 86th Academy Awards getting ever closer to kicking off. The stars of Hollywood are out in force this evening and the Oscars red carpet is beginning to fill up with A-listers, some of whom have been nominated for awards and will be hoping that they get to make their acceptance speech, taking home the Oscars statue.
One of the stars who is nominated for an Oscar this evening is Amy Adams, who is up for the Best Actress in a Leading Role Oscar for her performance in the movie American Hustle. Amy is one of the stars who has already made it to the red carpet, and she has spoken about the moment that she realised that American Hustle was a special movie.
Adams says that it was down to her co-stars that the film was so great, "Yeah never know for sure when you're filming because it's so fast paced but I think I knew when looking around at the others work; Bradley, Jennifer and Christian and everyone, I knew then that is was going to be something special," she explained.
Amy Adams goes up against Cate Blanchett for Blue Jasmine, Sandra Bullock for Gravity, Judi Dench for Philomena, and Meryl Streep for August: Osage County, for the Best Actress in a Leading Role Oscar. It is a tough one to call but it seems that most people are suggesting that Cate Blanchett is the favourite for the win.
Who do you think will win the Best Actress in a Leading Role Oscar 2014?

Walmart Neighborhood Market coming to 8th Street in Flagami
Walmart on Thursday announced plans to open its first store in the City of Miami.
The new Walmart Neighborhood Market will be located at 6991 SW 8 St., the former site of Everglades Lumber in the city's Flagami neighborhood. The company submitted a site plan to the city on Thursday for approval.
The Neighborhood Market concept is essentially Walmart's version of a grocery store with some extra general merchandise thrown in. By utilizing a smaller format it allows Walmart to get into markets that couldn't accommodate it's larger supercenter format.
The Flagami store will be 54,000 sq. ft. or about one-third the size of a Walmart supercenter. The store will offer fresh produce, meat and dairy products, frozen foods, dry goods, pharmacy, pet supplies and household items.
Construction is set to begin next year with an opening in 2014. The property will also include a gas station and a TD Bank branch. The Neighborhood Market will employ up to 100 people.
Walmart currently operates about 200 Neighborhood Markets across the country. The company opened its first one in Miami-Dade County earlier this year in Hialeah.

honda snowblower problem
i have a honda 928 snowblower...
good machine, but I've got a problem maybe somebody
can help diagnose...
machine start and runs well, blows snow, problem is in
symptoms: doesn't go as fast as it used to and if it
encounters any kind of obstruction (like going uphill)
then it will stop moving forward, begin shuddering..
if i put it in reverse it will back up, then move forward
again, problem seems to be getting slowly worse
this machine has tracks and hydrostatic drive... i have replaced the hydrostatic fluid...
i've been reading about a dowel pin breaking (in other posts)
do these symptoms bear any resemblance to that?
other ideas?
Hi, Randy. I have a wheeled 928 and have broken a couple dowel pins. In my experience, when the pin sheers, the machine won't move at all, forward or back. I don't have my repair manual here at work, so I can't say for sure whether it's used in the track application, but on the wheeled version it picks up power from the big gear in the final drive (inside an aluminum gearcase on the right side of the machine) and transfers it to the axle. It runs through a hole in the axle and engages in matching slots in the gear. There's no way to inspect it or replace it without taking all kinds of stuff apart.
I'm just guessing, but this sounds like a problem in the hydrostatic drive system itself. May call for an expert.
Good luck!
Good luck with that honda;I know parts are exspensive,hard to get,and they are hard to work on(for nothing) That's why I stay away from their stuff.......I remember another post like this...I think the tranny has to replaced,..............sorry to dissapoint ya'
FWIW, I checked my parts book and it appears the tracked model uses the same scheme as the wheeled model but a different part number shaft (different arrangement of holes at the ends). The dowel pin doesn't even have its own part number, so it's not intended for replacement, stupid as that is.
Figured out your problem yet?
Your description is too brief, I am wondering if you do not have some kind of an engine or linkage problem. Is the engine running as strong as it always has or is it bogging down or under powered somehow. Those Honda's from what I seen, heard and read are normally nearly bullet proof, However nothing mechanical no matter how good normally is perfect, nor is any particular brand even Honda.
i have a HS70 Honda snow blower, the problem i installed anew belt a napa belt no 5l320w is suppose to be a replacement for the original belt22432-736-a01 i adjusted the belt tensioner and the cable to it but it doesnt operate the tension enough to engage it, if i take the belt off the tensioner will move over alot if the belt is on it doesnt seem to move over enough to engage any help would be appreciated
Could someone elaborate more on this dowel pin? I have a HS828 hydrostatic transmission and it wont go forward or reverse. THe wheels and axle spin freely an in fact never actually lock up so it cant move at all. Any help from anyone please. The wheels turn freely if I engage the transmission or not with the small switch on back of machine.
I think I've done most of the posting on this dowel pin. I've broken two in my '928. :(
Here's the deal: There's a gear case mounted to the inside of the right side (looking forward) of the main frame of the machine. It transfers power from the hydro drive to the axle via a couple gears. The only connection from this geartrain to the axle is a dowel pin pressed through the axle. If that pin shears, you'd have exactly the symptoms you describe -- engine and transmission appear to be working, no drive to the wheels, you can push the machine freely (or with a little resistance) regardless of the position of the little "engage" lever.
There's a good illustrated parts list on the Hayward site (see link below). Browse to the American Honda catalog, find your machine and select the "wheel" drawing. It doesn't show the final gear train, but it shows the axle with the dowel pin.
Honda sells the axle and pin as a single piece (for beaucoup bucks). It's a pretty easy matter to drive out the broken pin and put in a new one. I've never been able to find exactly the right size at my local HW store, but it doesn't matter much. Buy a couple.
The thing is a royal pain (IMO) to disassemble and reassemble, partly because you have to remove the wheels and there's no good way to support the machine. There's a bracket you'll have to remove that secures the ends of a couple springs in the clutch system and it's important that they go back in correctly. I bought a maintenance manual after having done it the first time and was glad to have done so -- it's helped with a couple things.
To my tastes, this is a great machine with one terrible flaw. The flaw isn't the *use* of the dowel pin, it's the difficulty of replacing it. Having a sacrificial component in there to protect the hydro drive (which isn't, I suspect, what they really intended but is how it worked out) is a perfectly fine feature -- as long as it's reasonably easy to replace.
Here is a link that might be useful: Hayward catalog
Hey Fred,
Do you have the sizes of the dowel pins you used and where did you purchase them. That is exactly my problem with my 828. Can the in dowel pin be knocked out? Did you take the axle all the way off or knock it out while still installed?
Sorry, I don't know the size. I've always been in a hurry (it's never happened to me off season), so I just went to the hardware store and got the closest size from their stock, which was never really close to the right diameter. The length is much more critical, as it has to fit into a slot cast into the bigger of the two gears.
I had no trouble driving the pin out with a punch. It's tight, but if you don't flail on it you're gonna replace the whole axle anyway, so what the hell.
The axle has to come all the way off 'cause the pin is buried inside the gear case. That's what makes it such a pain. If I remember right, you need to take off the bottom plate from the frame, remove one or two bearing blocks that support the axle, take out all the machine screws holding on the gear case (and the co-fastened bracket for the clutch springs I mentioned before) and then slip it all out of the machine. All the stuff inside the gear case is loose, but it sticks together pretty well from the grease, so it shouldn't be much of a puzzle to get back together.
In my experience, the three worst parts are (1) getting the wheels off (the pins corrode, bend and seize), (2) figuring out how the hell to keep the machine off the ground during the work and (3) not screwing up getting those damn springs back in (that's where the shop manual helps -- they are all different lengths and tensions, and the clutches won't work right if they're installed wrong).
If you're mechanically inclined, this isn't really a difficult repair. I did it the first time without any manuals or exploded views, but you can do it more easily with reference to the drawings on the Hayward site at least.
Lemme know how you make out.
My 928 wheel model has a similar problem - it pulls hard to the right whenever the skidplate is dragging on bare concrete. I just adjusted the skid plates so they are even from right to left side.
My left arm is getting very tired of this :-). Any ideas?
It also seems like when you push down on the handles to life the blower, the right side of the blower hits the ground when setting it back down well before the left side. It's like the machine is twisted but its never seen any abuse? Anyone with similar problems?
Regarding the right side seemingly hitting the ground first when the snowblower has been lifted up problem. If it is the right wheel that is hitting the ground before the left one your problem might be a missing stepper pivot bolt on the right side. Turn the thing on it's left side and push the right wheel up and down by hand. If the wheel seems to move too easily look at where the stepper bar pivots on the right side and see if the bolt and it's washer are missing. If you don't have a parts diagram you can reference the left side to find the pivot bolt location. I have seen these bolts fall out several times over the years for no apparent reason.
Oops, I realized that the previous question was asked in regards to a WHEELED Honda 928. My answer applies to a TRACKED 928 only as the wheeled machines do not have a stepper bar. Other than a bent bucket I can't imagine why a wheeled model would seem to do what yours is doing.
My '93 Honda 828 track hydro trans clutch quit engaging...I found a service person who said it was the drive belt. The tracks do not move when I drag it, so it doesnt sound like the shaft pin. I have been through 5 tanks of gas in 2 weeks, and will be snowed in if this is not working. Taking it in would be 2 weeks!!! any Ideas??
Glen, one source for tires is Plano Power Tools (see link below). Also, if you Google 'Honda 42751-732-013' (the latter being the part number courtesy of the Plano site), it comes up with over 200 hits. Happy shopping!

Fred could you help me out with my Honda snoblower. I have the same problem you have and installed a new dowel. However the parts manual I am looking at is not correct and I am having problems putting this machine back to gether. THe aluuminum case is backwards to how it should be on the machine. Once I put the large gear on the axle that engages the dowel is there any other part that needs to go on the outside of this gear? Or does the gear butt against the black metal enclosure that closes up the trans box? I am not sure which direction bother this gear and the smaller gear goes in. I just had another foot of snow here with more on the way. I need to get this machine finished. Plus any help with the springs would also help. Thank again Jim
It's been a couple years since I've done the repair myself, so I can't tell you from memory. I'd suggest checking the exploded views on the Hayward catalog web site (link below; select "American Honda' in the "Catalogs" pull-down, then use the navigation stuff on the left to get to what you need -- when you get to your model, look for "right transmission case"). There are a number of submodels that may or may not be exactly the same, but one representative model shows a washer, a bushing and a dust cap in there. If you're in eastern Massachusetts (I'm on the North Shore), send me an offline email (I think you can through this site) and I'll loan you my manuals if you need 'em.
Here is a link that might be useful: Hayward catalog
Thanks for posting the link to Hayward. One thing I am a little confused about is finding the appropriate catalog. I have a Honda HS621 and the serial number starts SZAN 1101, but the lists shows HS621 A/C and then a serial number range, and then HS621 AS/C and then a serial number range, and both of those ranges have my serial number, so how does a person determine whether you use the A/C OR AS/C catalog? I checked all over the machine as well as on the bill of sale and these letters are not listed anywhere.
Thank you
hello everyone, hope this isn't too off topic. i'm a recent buyer of a used honda snowblower. while i was looking for information, forums, or a fansite for honda snowblowers, i found nothing, just a bunch of uncategorized information on all over the place. so, i've started a new site for honda snowblower owners:
http://xodys.com/honda-snowblowers/ (or you can click the link at the end of this post)
it's a little bare now, i'll admit, since it just went up yesterday, but i'm hoping we can get some good members in with some experience with these awesome machines. If you have a minute, feel free to drop by and visit us!

Good morning, so why do these pins always break just before a noreaster is going to hit? Does anybody have an exploded view of how this shaft goes into the machine. I can't access the hayward web site, may have to go at it blind. Any hints by Fred or anybody else will be appreciated. Does anybody know how long it takes to do the disassembly or put back together.
Gerry (from the Northshore!)
Gerry, are you from the North Shore in Massachusetts? If so, I've got a maintenance manual and parts manual that you can borrow. There's an "email me" link on my page -- give it a try.
I strongly recommend that anyone who's mechanically inclined and has one of these machines buy the manuals -- they're not terribly expensive (under $60 for the pair, maybe less on eBay) and can save tons of frustration. You should be able to get them through any Honda Power Equipment dealer or check out Plano Power Equipment online or the site below.
The Hayward catalog seems to have gone away, unfortunately. Too bad -- it was a great resource! The site I've linked below appears to have all the exploded views from the parts manual. The page you're most interested in is the one labeled "right transmission case" if you have a wheeled machine.
A pro could probably do the job in a couple hours. The way I fumble around, it takes the better part of a day. Every time I've done it in the past I've done so without removing the blower assembly from the front. Having had it off since, I think this job would be easier with it gone. That lets you remove and replace the drive and auger control tensioner springs (which attach to a bracket you need to remove) much more easily. You need to remove the big plate from the back of the frame, then take off the right transmission case, being very careful to remember how it goes back together. (It has a couple bearings, a couple gears and a bunch of washers inside -- along with a bunch of grease.) The pin in question goes through the axle and engages a slot in the driven gear.
Caution: I'm describing this from memory and haven't done the job in several years. It's not difficult, but there are a bunch of parts that have to go back right for it all to work properly.

Sorry to resurrect an old (but related) thread. I have owned a Honda HS928WAS (wheeled) blower since 2000 without any issues - until now.
My drive clutch lever does not seem to be working. The transmission is always engaged whether or not the lever is depressed. Reverse is painfully slow while forward is too fast. Trying to find a "neutral" position where the machine will not move is very difficult.
Any advice before I contact my local Honda dealer?
Thanks in advance!
Don't apologize for your post -- it's helpful IMO to have various Honda snowblower problems collected on one thread.
Your problem falls outside my experience, but I can tell you how I'd start, at least.
First, make sure your hydrostatic transmission fluid level is correct. I don't check mine as often as I should, and if it slowly dropped (or quickly due to a seal giving way or something) I might not notice right away. I have no idea whether low fluid could cause this condition, but checking it is a good idea regardless.
Second, if you don't already have one, consider buying a service manual. You may be able to find one at a dealer but if not they can definitely order it or you can get it online. It may or may not help you diagnose this problem, but it allows you to approach any repair with greater confidence -- or figure out in advance that you're in over your head.
Next, make sure you've got access to exploded views of the whole machine. You can find them using the link below.
After that, flip the little transmission engage/disengage lever that you use to allow the machine to be pushed. If the problem persists with the transmission disengaged, it's almost certain that you have a problem internal to the transmission.
Next, assess the overall feel and action of the controls. Does the drive clutch lever feel normal? Does it have that slight "over center" feel (i.e., a relaxation of the spring pressure) as you get it close to the handlebar? Does the normal interlock action between the drive clutch and the auger clutch work normally (i.e., if you hold the drive clutch and then engage the auger, can you release the auger lever without it disengaging until you release the drive clutch)? Does the hydrostatic transmission control lever feel normal and have its normal range of travel? If any of this is wrong, I'd start looking at the engagement levers and the adjustment of the cables.
Beyond that, if it were me, I'd probably be looking for a pro.
Good luck!

I recently rebuilt my 928 Hydrostat one of the splines in the front of the transmission was spun out. I install two new cylinders,new neutral spool and a new seal and screen filter. The machine works well and strong for about a minute or so then it will not move until i give it about ten to fifteen minutes. Then it will only move again for about a minute or so then stop again and so on. I'm a pretty handy fellow but after taken this 928 completely 4 to 5 times is getting pretty old. I have about $350 gone into a rebuild compare to $650 for new, which by the way the wife don't let me forget that. Does anyone have any ideas of what could be going wrong? Is their a vent pulled somewhere? Not really sure anymore. The oil level is good
Matt44 I just totally reassembled my hydrostatic transmission for my honda HS928 WAS snowblower. New fluid. I am 70 years old. I didn't find anything worn or broken. 2002 model. It was a long job. It has been apart for over a year. Snow got deep enough to make me put it back together. It took off like a spring colt. Was blowing snow as good as ever. I have used this machine hard for many years. Then, just like last time I used it, the transmission quit. New belt. Shaft is turning going into the transmission. Shaft is not turning coming out of the trans. Trans is full of oil. It only lasted about 10 minutes. I am a retired mechanic. I have rebuilt my share of automatic transmissions. But this has got me stumped. I washed the screen real good. I used Honda's oil. I did have some black fine mud when I took it apart and I did have some very fine steel particles. From the pinion gear. But I washed everything clean. Blew out with dry air. I really fussed with it. Totally taken apart and inspected. Has anyone got any ideas? I really hate to take this thing apart again. Matt
OK, I have taken apart the gear box on the right side of my 928 WA and have discovered the broken pin that connects the gear to the drive shaft. Now my problem is, how do I get the piece of the pin out of the drive shaft? I have tried a punch, heat and punch with no success. Any ideas? I have also tried to slide (pound) the drive shaft out, but I believe it is rusted into the bearing on the left side. Any ideas would be appreciated. Fredbarber maybe you have a tip. Thanks.

Applications close Monday 20th April, 2015
We are grateful to Jerwood Charitable Foundation for fully funding this workshop.
Early Birds can book now for two very special Festival events!
Booking is now open for a very special Festival programme launch event with Michael Longley and the Festival finale with John Cooper Clarke.
The Belfast poet, Michael Longley will read with Frank Ormsby on Tuesday 26 May at 8pm in the beautiful setting of Hellens Manor, Much Marcle, Nr. Ledbury. (Doors open at 7pm and there is a bar available)
Early bird tickets are £8 until Tuesday 14 April. After that tickets are £9.
Michael Longley is a towering figure in Irish poetry and one of the world's greats. He has won the top literary prizes, including the Queen's Gold Medal for Poetry, the Wilfred Owen Medal, the Whitbread Prize, and the TS Eliot Prize. The 75-year-old received a CBE from the Queen in 2010. His most recent collection is The Stairwell. Frank Ormsby launches Goat's Milk, a comprehensive retrospective of his work.

Could this be sun-scald? Tomatos
danedazeJune 11, 2011
My garden lives in a fenced in area to keep rabbits, squirrels etc. out, I recently added bird netting to keep the birds out, and now this. While searching around on the internet, I think I may have found the problem..but am not 100% sure. Anyone care to tell me if this is indeed sunscald? (we've been in the very high 90's for nearly 3 wks. with little to no cloud cover)
While I can't fight the weather, it would be nice to know, I'm not facing a bug/fungus type problem.

Relationship Advice
I briefly became involved with a married man. Before we were involved, he told me that he was leaving his (pregnant) wife. He also pursued me like there was no tomorrow. I became convinced, finally, that it was safe to proceed. But soon, I noticed some confusing messages from him about leaving his marriage, and as a result, I ended our relationship immediately. While I know I did the right thing to take care of myself, why does it feel so bad? It's like I have an argument going on inside my...

Hi Dr. Love. I've been married for 6 years, and have an 11 mo. old girl. Our marriage is in serious trouble. As much as we've shared, I just cannot stand to be around him most of the time. We've undergone a tremendous amount of stress in the past year - we bought a house that was too expensive for us (he insisted), I've lost three jobs in two years, and we're running out of $$. But before all of this, we were on rocky ground anyway. He's emotionally unavailable, and stays that way despite my...

He was very depressed and always complaining about her so I think he was looking to me as a temporary distraction. And he's also technically still married! I rejected him at...

My boyfriend was working an early shift and I'd stayed over the night before. When he left at half four I got the bus to town to catch my bus home. Whilst waiting at the stop a man tapped me on the shoulder and told me he liked my nostril piercing. He asked where I'd been so I told him, thinking he was coming on to me and if he knew I had a boyfriend he'd back off. Not so. He asked how I could look so down when I'd had a "night of passion". I ignored him. He then started asking me if my boyfriend "fucked me good". I told him I wasn't going to talk about that, but he kept on until my bus came. He then got on the same one. He sat in the seat behind me and carried on asking me more gratuitous questions about my sex life. I kept telling him I wasn't talking about that with him, but he wouldn't stop. The one comment that stands out is when he made an action signifying oral sex and asked "when he does this to you, does he make you come?" I was so disgusted. I told him that was none of his business, and he told me "I'd make you come". Thankfully he got off at the next stop, but I didn't stop thinking about it for days.
Another incident happened at the same bus stop, just about a week later. I was walking from there to the stop to catch the bus to my boyfriend's, minding my own business, when a man stood in front of me as I walked past and said "they're some strong thighs you've got there tonight," staring at my legs. I don't know what he thought gave him the right to comment on my body; it's my body, it's not there for his enjoyment.

Product description
From Dagger Award-winning and internationally bestselling author Alan Bradley comes this utterly beguiling mystery starring one of fiction's most remarkable sleuths: Flavia de Luce, a dangerously brilliant eleven-year-old with a passion for chemistry and a genius for solving murders. This time, Flavia finds herself untangling two deaths--separated by time but linked by the unlikeliest of threads. Flavia thinks that her days of crime-solving in the bucolic English hamlet of Bishop's Lacy are over--and then Rupert Porson has an unfortunate rendezvous with electricity. The beloved puppeteer has had his own strings sizzled, but who'd do such a thing and why? For Flavia, the questions are intriguing enough to make her put aside her chemistry experiments and schemes of vengeance against her insufferable big sisters. Astride Gladys, her trusty bicycle, Flavia sets out from the de Luces' crumbling family mansion in search of Bishop's Lacey's deadliest secrets. Does the madwoman who lives in Gibbet Wood know more than she's letting on? What of the vicar's odd ministrations to the catatonic woman in the dovecote? Then there's a German pilot obsessed with the Bronte sisters, a reproachful spinster aunt, and even a box of poisoned chocolates. Most troubling of all is Porson's assistant, the charming but erratic Nialla. All clues point toward a suspicious death years earlier and a case the local constables can't solve--without Flavia's help. But in getting so close to who's secretly pulling the strings of this dance of death, has our precocious heroine finally gotten in way over her head?

Jackets optional: 2012 had near-record heat for Phoenix
PHOENIX -- The just-concluded 2012 was the second-warmest year ever in the Valley.
The average temperature, factoring in the daytime highs and nighttime lows in Phoenix, was 76.7, nearly two degrees above normal, according to Mark O'Malley with the National Weather Service.
The warmest year on record was 1989, which saw an average temperature of 76.9.
"The past 10-15 years have been warmer and warmer in Phoenix and across Arizona. The trend is certainly there," O'Malley said. "There's a chance that each year is going to be in the top ten or twenty warmest years on record."
Some of the metro area's warmer temperatures can be traced to the heat island, O'Malley said. Asphalt and concrete absorb the daytime heat and slowly release it overnight.
There was also significant warmth across the state.
"When we look at some rural stations across the state, they've been warming as well. So the trend is there beyond the Valley," O'Malley said.
Not only was it a warmer year, it was among the driest years on record. The Valley usually gets about eight inches of rain each year; 2012 brought just over four inches.

Large Rolling Duffle -
By: Sparkadoodle from Charlottesville, VA
I bought one of these large rolling Battenkill duffles, but it came with a beautiful aluminum locking gun case! It had the original sticker, US-made, and is super well made. It appears to have been an Orvis option, but I don't see it offered these days.
Great luggage -
By: Pistol11Pete3
My wife and I bought the magnum because her parents have used it for many years. So now that our family has grown, suitcase space is very important. Any road trip we do we can pack my wife's, son and my clothing. We are looking forward to using it on my trips.
Most Awesome rolling duffle -
By: Bikingengineer from Charleston SC
I have owned this duffle for many years and used it for family travel. My wife and I share it as our only piece of luggage. It is well made, sturdy, and robust. It holds a tremendous amount of stuff and is flexible enough that you can sit on it to zip it closed when necessary. When packing, keep in mind the areas under the top ends, it turns out that one can stuff lots of clothing in those areas. One caveat, the very study zippers will damage delicate fabrics if the fabric gets caught in the zipper. I love mine and strongly recommend it to anyone looking for a very large rolling duffle.
Terrific choice for a large duffle -
By: ChrisJr from CT
We bought several different pieces of Orvis luggage and this might be the most useful for checking in at airports. It is large and good for a family. Highly recommended in terms of quality and durability. We might buy another.
One subtle change -
By: DapperDan
The only needed feature to make this product more versatile is an elastic/adjustable 4 point strap in the upper compartment that would allow contents to be strrapped down when less than full capacity. When full it doesn't matter. The large capacity of this bag was amazing. It will be great for our summer hiking trip. Hiking poles and gear will be easy to pack.
Takes a licking but weighs a ton -
By: Springer from CT
I have had this bag for years. It has been on many hunting trip and overseas vacations. It carries all you need plus some. It's exterior shows a few scars but it is as good as ever. Quite frankly, this bag will be functional long after I am not. But, sad to say, its flying days are over due to weight restrictions.
Functional, Large Capacity but heavy -
By: BladeRunner
We've had this bag for two years and are generally happy with it. It's durable and rather well crafted however, we did have to send back to have one of the bottom skids (rivets popped out) and some stitching replaced. Perhaps you can consider this normal wear and tear. The good news was they paid for shipping in both directions. Also, the nice leather pulls which are attached to the zippers can come off with ease and get lost. Pro Durable, well crafted, lots of room, good looking, good warranty Cons Heavy. Not listed on their site however, it is 15lbs empty, (I called to find out) so with the current 50lbs weight limit with U.S. air carriers you have to pack with care, i.e. you have a lot of space however, you could wind up pay $50-$75 in overage fees
Second Best Purchase After my Battenkill Duffle -
By: from Seattle, WA.
I have had one of these rolling duffles for the past two years. It has stood up to airport baggage handlers, used as a seat when delayed for flights, filled to the brim and stuffed even further. The zippers and fasteners are smooth and responsive while holding well against the abuse. This duffle has out-lasted other duffles and bags that just didn't have the structural integrity. With the foldover flap and zippered enclosures, I have not lost anything I have stuffed inside, even when the TAS people have gone through it. I think that it has also discouraged them from going through it and that the secure fastenings has caused them to just scan it with the viewers to pass my luggage. This has not been the case with other luggage. I would suggest this luggage to any frequent traveler, and to those who only travel occasionally. Originally, I thought the price was very high. While I still think of it as expensive luggage, that I would not want ot lose, it has paid for itself a few times over. On a recent trip to Las Vegas, I packed everything in my Battenkill rolling duffle. The baggage handlers tried to do something to the bag, but it looked the same except for a faint scratch on one of the leather pieces. Even with the abuse, everything was safe and sound, even the Christmas presents for the family.
Good bag, but HEAVY -
By: RWBauer
The bag is an excellent item for travel by car or train. It has held up wonderfully and takes a tremendous amount of abuse. It is too big and heavy for air travel. the unladened weight is enough that, when packed, it far exceeds most airlines weight limits, resulting in charges for a "heavy bag".
Could it be too big?? -
By: MRHSCOUT from Cleveland, Ohio
I purchased this duffel in anticipation of a pending quail hunt in South Carolina. I picked this duffel because it would hold not only my shotgun, but what seemed to be a fair amount of gear. I was wonderfully surprised when it actually held ALL of my gear. That's 2 pair of boots, 2 more pair of shoes, heavy hunting coat, chaps, gloves, hats, clothing for 4 days and all the other goodies we sportsmen tend to carry. I actually had room left over! This thing is a monster! Love it.

lazy way to cover ground...a bad idea?
I have mature crab apple at the corner of the front lawn. It has a wooden fence along its east side, sidewalk along the north and lawn west and south. The previous owners severely neglected the area underneath of it. It was full of suckers, creeping charlie and various other weeds. This past fall we cleaned it out down to bare dirt but im sure it will begin to fill back in with weeds the second the weather warms up. I have so much else to do this spring that i am seriously considering dumping a bag of wildflowers, evening primrose and blue bonnets on it as soon as we get a period with no snow on the ground. This area almostnever gets eatered and is far from any hoses! Im hoping the mix could help smother out weeds, smell nice and look somewhat improved. My concerns are that the eeeds will just over take and ikl have a weedy mess with an occasional flower and that especially the primrose could possibly spread under the neighbors fence or into their strip if lawn that goes up to the trees dripline/ bed border. What do you guys think?
Place flattened cardboard boxes or cheap roofing paper and cover with deep bulch.
In the link scroll down to about the 6 or so post dated Mon, Apr 12, 10 at 21:14
Read my "soap box" info and view the pictures.
Here is a link that might be useful: paper & mulch
I had a wildflower area in the center of my backyard, it looked good some of the time but looked "ratty" alot of the time, so I removed it and made a rose garden. Looks great now. I agree with the mulching. Also, wildflowers typically need sun, and under the tree might not do well, anyway. When you have time, if ever, or are so inclined, you could later plant something there.
I did this once, because I could not afford mulch but I had a packet of wildflower seeds. It was in light shade under a recently pruned California Pepper tree, and everything bloomed. It was magical for a few months.
It was a lot of work, though, after the bloom, because all of those tall, dead flower stalks had to be uprooted and thrown out- I did not want the seeds all through the garden so I didn't put them in the compost pile. I didn't do it the following year.
If you do it, don't disturb the soil any more, because more weeds will come up. And take photos!
Just a ground cover is a possibility if you didn't want to do much with the area, or hosta if it is shady. If you search for xeriscape ground cover, you'll find lots of possible ground covers. You can choose based on the sunlight the area receives. Since you are busy this year, you can just leave the cardboard and mulch and then either buy or grow the plants you want for next year. You'd have lots of time to decide. If you are looking to save money, you can grow hosta from seeds from friends' plants or exchanges online. You won't know what they will look like for sure, but they do seed easily (if you do it correctly.)
I must be missing something, since no one else has mentioned it...but under a tree, rarely watered, far from hoses? I'd definitely go with paper covered with mulch. I think you would have a difficult time getting anything established there.
