Cercospora? Help me identify my leaf spots and treat them.
As the title states, I think I have Cercospora, or my hydrangeas do... lol... I have searched, but I want to be sure. Please can you help me id my spots so I can begin treating the problem. Thanks
Here is a bit of background in case its relevant before I post pics.
We have 9 young hydrangeas. I'm pretty sure they are all showing signs of this disease. I got them all from Home Depot. 6 were purchased 2 years ago and just transplanted. 3 were just bought this season. All are endless summer.
The 6 transplants were originally around a tree and were never able to transition to the environment. Not sure if they got too much sun or just had too much competition from the tree roots for water. They were always wilty and small. We prepped a bed just for them this year with eastern morning light instead of the harsh afternoon light they saw last year. They were looking wonderful until the spots.
We have had a rainier year this season then in summers past. Being in GA that means serious humidity. I believe they had the spots last year, but I thought it was from being too dry. When I saw them again this year on the now healthier plants I knew something was up. I noticed it on the 3 new ones as well. I want to say all at Home Depot had the spots. We had no clue it was a disease or I would have searched for an unaffected plant.
If it is Cercospora... what is the best way to treat/manage it. Thru searching I see it can't be cured, but what can I do to knock it on its butt?
Thank you... Many pics now! :)
I think your diagnosis is right. I was talking to Michael Dirr about this yesterday, and he said something about having recently noticed a different kind of fungal leaf spot popping up around the state, but he couldn't remember it by name. In general though, Cercospora is what we get here in GA- and treatment is the same regardless of type.
At our nursery, we try to avoid chemical use whenever possible, so our two main weapons are quarantine and amputation- cut off as much of the affected growth as you can stand, (or as much as you think the plant can stand), remove all fallen leaves from around the base of your shrub, and try to cut down on spread by rinsing your gardening tools in rubbing alcohol when moving from plant to plant.
As far as I know, there are no products that will cure affected foliage, but there are some that can help prevent it from spreading- here's a quote from an article I found on eHow:
"Home gardeners may try applying fungicide products available at nurseries or home improvement stores, such as Cleary's 3336, Zyban or Immunox."
I don't know anything about those products specifically, but I have heard that many of the commercially available fungicides do work fairly well. Cercospora is a real headache, and unfortunately thrives on the same conditions that make for happy hydrangeas, but with some effort, it can be kept to a minimum. Good luck!

If you see these critters outside, kill them. they are becoming quite a damaging pest to crops and a nuisance to people by coming into homes in the cooler months. By then, they have molted to the brown adult stage. If you do see them in your home, what ever you do don't kill them inside. They stink enough to gag you. Take them outside or flush them down the toilet.
Wonderful work
Brilliant close up of this stinker Ron :)

I think I've actually read stuff where some of our own politicians say they want **** here to be "like China".
How many millions of innocent people did Mao Ding Dong murder?
It's interesting how we reacted to a nuclear accident in Japan, or a Tsunami in in the Indian ocean, yet we turn a blind eye to the intentional brutal massacre of 40,000+ people, mostly women and children, in Syria.
With all the millinos of Americans, good decent propductive citizens, of Syrian descent in this country, you d think ouir politicians would........Ahhhh... what the use!
The day they take guns away from american civilians that's the day we gonna lose the little freedom we got left
I keep telling ya'll thats not how its gonna go down.
No one is going to go "door to door".
They'll go "increment by increment",slowly expanding the list of prohibited weapons and possessors until nothing is left.
And as for those who are in the business of enforcing it?
Theyre doing fine.
The BATFEces and friends can sell weapons to Mexican drug cartels, violating the very "laws" they enforce and getting innocent people killed,and still they chug right along..........."making the streets safe for the children" one "illegal weapon" or "prohibited possessor" at a time...........
Yeah, your right, that's most likely how they will do it.
Can you eat an elephant???

Casey Coleman learned firsthand how valuable telework can be.
Coleman, CIO at the General Services Administration, teleworked for four months from the other side of the country -- Seattle, Wash. -- while her husband got medical care for a serious illness.
Coleman maintained Eastern Time work hours and used video, Web chats and Web meeting software to interact frequently with coworkers while she was gone.
"When I returned, some people said they had not known I was gone," Coleman said at a Telework Exchange Town Hall meeting on May 2. "It was a seamless, positive experience."
The semi-annual telework town hall event explored telework issues and success stories for federal agencies. It was sponsored by the Telework Exchange, a public-private partnership.
At the GSA, about 50 percent of the telework-eligible workforce is currently participating in telework at least once during each two-week period. About 80 percent of the total workforce is eligible.
The agency has distributed about 10,000 government-owned Blackberries, smart phones and tablet computers to its 13,000 workers, Coleman said. The devices use layered security, including encryption, allowing them to operate on the GSA's network.
Mobility works well at the GSA because many of the workers must visit other agencies and do other travel to carry out their jobs, she said.
The GSA is taking advantage of those existing schedules, along with telework policies and mobility tools in its headquarters renovation to be completed in 2014.
"We will have 2,000 seats for 4,000 employees," Coleman said.
Through scheduling arrangements, telework and maintaining the usual job structures and travel, the GSA workers will be able to effectively share the smaller space, she said.
Thanks to investments in IT, telework and mobility, there will be significant savings in real estate costs in comparison's to the GSA's previous buildings, she said.
Robert Brown, assistant chief of staff for the Marine Corps Recruiting Command, spoke on a panel with Coleman about adoption of telework at his agency. He said he distributed mobile devices to 4,000 recruiters in 1,500 locations last year.
The agency reached out to industry to help design an architecture and security for the devices. Brown said that was a good strategy because the recruiters learned from best practices that are common in business workplaces.
"We are recruiters, so we are a sales force," Brown said.
He said the mobile devices have been very effective in helping the recruiters build relationships with potential volunteers in their homes, at Starbucks and at other locations conducive to conversation.
The mobility is especially helpful in their reporting on their activity, he added, because taking notes on a mobile device one time is easier and faster than taking notes on paper, then transferring the notes to a computer later.
Peter Tseronis, chief technology officer at the Energy Department, said telework agreements at his agency allowed him to recently return home from a work conference a day early to tend to a family need. He continued to participate in the conference by remote streaming video online. The arrangement also saved taxpayers a night of hotel costs, which made his supervisor happy, he said.
"If your supervisor believes in telework, that is very significant," Tseronis said.

Re: *Vika Azarenka Cheering Thread* - Vikalume 4.
I didn't see the match but it's long odds Vika didn't give it all. There was nothing at stake apart from some dollars. She sure needs to be fit tomorrow so she couldn't afford some epic battle against Serena today then losing in 2 against Li due to exhaustion. Serena actually hinted at this when she said she'd probably play Victoria in the final.
She'll win tomorrow, maybe in 3. Sometimes Li comes out guns blazing but she rarely keeps it up for 2 let alone 3 sets.

The Best Thing About You Test
Their result for The Best Thing About You Test ...
Hot! Passion is your greatest virtue
Passion is an intense emotion that compels feeling, enthusiasm, or desire for anything, and that often requires action. Get that? Requires action. It's very likely you submit to your deepest needs and live life with a flair few others achieve, but many envy. All 7 virtues are a part of you, but your passion runs deepest.
Passionate types: artists, writers, composers, athletes, and heroine addicts.
Your raw relative scores follow. 0% is low, and 100% is perfect, nearly impossible. Note that I pitted the virtues against each other, so in some way these are relative scores. It's impossible to score high on all of them, and a low score on one is just relatively low compared to the other virtues.

It's easy to see why. Herring specializes in stark, quiet tales of rural strife and romantic insecurity, as well as the occasional character study, which isn't surprising, given her master's degree in Southern studies from Ole Miss. Her deft acoustic finger-picking underscores an easy charm, and her deep-voiced resonance brings a gravitas to her mostly straightforward lyrics, which might seem trite coming from a higher-pitched performer. Wellspring, Herring's newest CD and her second on Houston's Blue Corn label, features quietly sublime tracks like "Magnolias," "Colorado Woman" and "Trace." She also manages a shout-out to Southwest Airlines on "MGM Grand." Talented and tasteful, Herring could be a rising star on the Americana scene.

Tuesday, 07 May 2013 11:35 AM
Ecuador's President Rafael Correa backed off his May 4 threat to freeze relations with Peru over the issue, announcing Monday night that ambassador Rodrigo Riofrio asked to be removed to help resolve the crisis, according to a statement from the Foreign Ministry.
Peru responded Tuesday by saying it would change its ambassador to Quito in recognition of Ecuador's decision to accept its request to remove Riofrio, the Peruvian Foreign Ministry said in an emailed statement.
Peru's government last week requested that Correa remove Riofrio after an "incident" in Lima involving the envoy, according to an April 30 statement from Peru's Foreign Ministry.
Correa, who threw out President Barack Obama's representative in 2011 and Colombia's ambassador in 2010, defended Riofrio, saying he was the "victim of aggression" and that he wouldn't respect Peru's request to withdraw the ambassador.
"This decision was made following the request by Ambassador Riofrio," the Foreign Ministry said in the statement. "In the coming days Ecuador will designate a new ambassador who will represent our country" in Peru.
Ambassadors Recalled
Both Peru and Ecuador recalled their ambassadors last week for consultations and Peru's government had asked Riofrio not to return. Correa said May 4 he wouldn't let Peru's ambassador back into Ecuador if Riofrio wasn't allowed to continue at his post in Peru.
One of the two women involved in the scuffle with Riofrio said the altercation began when she and her daughter cut in front of him as he stood in a Lima supermarket check-out line on April 21, according to a news report by Peru's DiaD television station. Riofrio insulted the women and the daughter hit the ambassador first, according to the report.
Riofrio said in an April 29 statement e-mailed by the Ecuadorean Foreign Ministry that he was sorry for the "personal incident" and didn't provoke the fight. Riofrio denied he insulted the women and said he only defended himself from the women's attacks.
Videos distributed by Peruvian newspaper La Republica show a man identified as Riofrio punching and kicking a woman at a supermarket in Peru's capital.
The fight has sparked protests outside the ambassador's residence in Lima and a lawyer for the two Peruvian women filed assault charges yesterday, La Republica reported.
'Diplomatic Crisis'
Both governments bear some responsibility for escalating the dispute, Michel Levi, coordinator of the Andean Center of International Studies at the Universidad Andina, said Monday in a phone interview from Quito.
"It's important that Correa fights for truth and justice, but at this point, he's putting the security and credibility of the state at risk," Levi said. "The relevant thing here is that there's a diplomatic crisis created by a street fight."
Ecuador and Peru signed a peace accord in 1998 ending border wars dating from the 19th century. In August, the two countries said they are planning a joint venture to explore for oil on the Ecuadorean side of their shared border.
The two also signed a $300 million agreement last year to connect their oil pipelines to carry Ecuadorean crude to Peru's northern port of Bayovar.
Ecuador's Foreign Ministry didn't reply to a telephone message seeking comment on Correa's statements. Attempts to reach Riofrio through the ministry's press office were unsuccessful. Peru's Foreign Ministry didn't respond to a telephone message seeking comment.

Hey fellas. So I recently experienced the utter joy that occurs in my glass when citra gets with amarillo. I am trying to formulate a solid hop burst double IPA recipie that borders on the asinine with late boil additons.I want to smell this thing through the keg. Any comments on this recipe would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
Recipe Type: All Grain
Yeast: Wyeast 1056 American Ale
Yeast Starter: Yeast Cake
Batch Size: 12 gal
Target Original Gravity: 1.077
Target Final: 1.016
Target ABV: 8.1%
Boiling Time: 60 min.
Color: 9.4
Citra Double IPA
18.75 lbs 2-Row
2 lbs Munich 10L
1.5 lbs of Crystal 40L
1 lbs Honey Malt
1 lbs Carapills
6 lbs Golden DME (due to mash tun limits)
Mash 60 minutes at 154 F

3 oz of Citra (13.4%) Dry hop 14 days
1 Whirlfloc at 10 min of
Ferment at 68 F 2 weeks. Then rack to secondary to dryhop.
I count 22.5oz of hops!!!! My god, that should be an incredibly pugant and flavorful beer, although I'm glad to not be the one paying for all those hops.
My only question is why there are no full boil hops. I suppose using that large of an amount of hops, and all as mid-late additions, would still add more than enough bitterness and adding any significant amount early on would just make the IBU's insane. At this point it almost seems to me, like a fruit beer. You don't want any cloying bitterness getting in the way of the, in this case intense citrus, fruit flavor.
Awesome idea. I'd love to try it but would never brew it because of the $$$.
So are you actually going to brew this, or are you just rubbing in our faces the fact that you're sitting on nearly a pound of Citra, while the rest of us have none?
Don't worry, be hoppy.
Overkill, wasted hops.
Looks complicated with so many additions. Could probably go for some 60 minute hops to to reduce the total amount of hops used. I don't really see the point in having six hop additions from 25 min.
Late hops are great, but they have worked best for me at the 5 - 0 minute range. YMMV
I don't see how you're going to get any wort in the carboy, it's going to be a kettle full of liquid expanded hops.
23+ lbs of grain, plus 6 of DME and you are shooting for 1.077? That seems VERY low. You should easily get 1.100+! All those hops sound good but I have to agree that it would be overkill. The trub would be crazy

Fox Sports Interactive is acquiring Yardbarker, a sprawling network of more than 800 sports blogs.
Fox Sports Interactive has snatched up Yardbarker, a sprawling network of more than 800 sports blogs that claims 16 million unique monthly users and 100 percent growth over the past 12 months.
The sale follows a two-year content-sharing partnership between Fox and Yardbarker, which was founded in 2006. Terms of the deal were not disclosed.
"Becoming a part of FOX will ensure that Yardbarker has the resources it needs to drive more and more traffic and revenue toward the independent sports sites that we've built our business serving," CEO Pete Vlastelica wrote in a note to Yardbarker's publishers on the company's blog. "We're working with our new parents to increase distribution of your content through the various channels that FOX controls, and to line up even more brand advertisers to run high-CPM campaigns on your sites."
The centerpiece of the network is Yardbarker.com, a sports hub that consists largely of content aggregated from blog within the network. (Its tag line is "Sports Rumors, Gossip, Blogs, News, Discussion.") Yarbarker.com received about 3.5 million unique views a month, according to Quantcast.
In a telephone interview, Vlastelica said the sale was motivated less by a sagging ad market - the Yardbarker network has had consecutive record-breaking quarters for the past year and a half, he said - but by the opportunity to augment his network's five-person sales staff.
"It's about the opportunity to scale our network, which means adding more sites, driving more traffic and being able to monetize that with a larger sales office," he said. "We had a sales team that was able to sell effectively at the reach we built as an independent network, but with Fox behind us we can take it up to the next level."

refrigerator which FD bottom freezer w/o thru the door dispenser
I have looked at CR ratings and searched this forum and I cannot just make up my mind. I have hit a dead end so can someone help me narrow down to a few choices? The space have is 36.5 inches wide and 26.25 deep but I am not going for cabinet/counter depth since we need as much space we we can get for the price.
And price-wise I'd like to keep it under 2K if possible, lower the better(just bought the house lots of expenses already). I want to avoid the through the door dispenser which are repair prone and reduce usable space. I am looking for SS finish. Recommendations please?
Samsung RF260BEAESR 25.5 cu ft for $1439
Here is a link that might be useful: Samsung RF260BEAESR
Or Samsung RFG293HARS 29 cu ft for $1545
I take it you have read it before
JD Power Samsung top FD fridge last 6 years.
Here is a link that might be useful: Samsung RFG293HARS
Thanks Deeageaux. Any idea what the differences are between RF260BEAESR and RF261BEAESR (CR recommended)? Is the difference that RF260BEAESR not have an internal water dispenser?
Also, I was looking at Samsung RF261BIAESR but look slike its not available anywhere. It has an internal water dispenser.
RF261BIAESR is $1529.
Yeah $90 for the internal water dispenser.
Not sure if this one recommended by CR.
Here is a link that might be useful: RF261BIAESR
I am in the market for a similar refrigerator, and am also considering the Samsung. I love it, but the appliance guys in two different stores were scaring me with the difficulty of repairs on Samsungs. They said that Samsung has no US repair facilities and that they use third party repair guys. Deeageaux, is this really something I need to worry about? I've been a lurker for a while and you always have such thoughtful appliance advice.

Hiya,Classy Are you feeling better?
Afternoon folks. My youngest and I made a run to the pet store for some supplies and stopped by Lowes to look at snowthrowers. All they had were the big two stage models that are way bigger and more expensive than I want. I was looking on Home Depot's site and they have an ariens snowthrower on the site that looked really good for the money but it said they don't stock them in the stores so I can't go look at it.
Sanity is overrated. I'd rather be happy.
How ya feelin' ClassWife?
I'm pretty much done with it, lingering cough but the fatigue bit seems to be over. The missus is further back on the road but gettin' there.
I'd snicker at 2" closin' the city down CES but even here in Oregon's capitol...... 2" comes close to shuttin' down!
Hope we find those spare smoow shovels Hitt.......... know I saw em' somewhere yesterday.......... Huh..... mebbe they got left behind with the couch.

Oh my... lost muh tail.... again.
I've had a couple of those fancy ergonomic plastic shovels and the handles always break. I've gone back to a wooden handle with a metal shovel scoop. It gets down to the concrete better too.
Sanity is overrated. I'd rather be happy.
I believe I am feeling a lot better today
Thank you !
Sure glad I don't have to shovel snow anymore...that's hard work !
