GAP presents SS2012 collection in Dubai
Over the past few weeks of hibernation, finally there was a fashion show that prompted us to socialize and celebrate. Friends from Gap recently presented the American favorite brand's Spring Summer'12 collection.
Despite the chilly weather, the chic venue Shades at The Address, Dubai Marina created a perfect backdrop to the colourful fashion show.
Every element at the venue reflected the 'Be Bright' spirit of the Gap collection with neon colored moon lights scattered along side the well-lit pool. Guests enjoyed a fine selection of canapés and cocktails while watching the models present the key pieces from the collection.
[smooth=id:154; width:584; height:875; timed:false; arrows:true; carousel:true; links:true; info:false; align:center; frames:false; open:false; text:GAP 2012;]
The women's collection bursts with color in variety of brightly hued jeans and khakis, including the Always Skinny Cropped Jean in fuchsia, surf pipe, lilac and rose and the Broken-In Straight Khakis in hot coral, active blue, dried fig, greenway and blue sky.
The men's collection also incorporates color into jeans and khakis with the Slim Fit Jeans in French blue and red and the Denim-Washed Garment Dye Khakis in deep cobalt, cedar green, red rose and vintage wine. Men will also find color-infused tops, sweaters, and outerwear that can be easily layered to create perfect springtime looks. The boyfriend khaki denim roll short come in a bold palette of lemon drop, leaf green and surf blue. Trendy accessories for men include coloured leather flip-flops.
At the core of the collection, lies the t-shirt, the original American sportswear piece, in every possible interpretation, the foundation of a complete Summer wardrobe. The classic tee is offered in a spectrum of colours; the fluid ease of an oversized shape; the modernity of contrast colour blocking; the classicism of Breton stripes in a host of colours; the graphic punctuation of chevrons. The new tee dress, in easy to wear floor length jersey; the tank dress and playsuits all work in perfect harmony to create a line that is fresh, chic and incredibly comfortable.
With the launch of the new Spring/Summer 2012 collection, Gap embraces colour in every shade, shape and form. Tops, bottoms and accessories are brought to life in a wide range of luscious colours that instantly brighten your wardrobe. It's colour shown off in a sophisticated way – whether it's contrasting or tone-on-tone, mixed, matched or striped, color has been elevated in a singularly Gap way.

Well, the rumor mill is suggesting that Colt will not allow its LEO-style rifles to be sold to the general public and will cut off dealers who do sell to the public.
If that rumor proves to be true and I had a choice between Bushmaster, who was proudly selling their LEO line to the public yesterday and Colt, who was trying to appease the antis, I would have to go with Bushmaster - even though Colt does better QC on their military/LEO rifles.
September 15, 2004, 12:31 PM
Is it a fact about the QC? I might even spend the extra $ and get a Wilson if I have to.
September 15, 2004, 01:47 PM
Go Bushmaster. Colt's announcement is just the latest in a long line of strange moves from Hartford, whereas Bushie already has post-post-ban models on its website. :)
September 15, 2004, 04:11 PM
I have a more basic reason for not going Colt...
Bushmasters don't have any non-standard size parts or odd inner dimensions.
Bartholomew Roberts
September 15, 2004, 04:31 PM
Is it a fact about the QC? I might even spend the extra $ and get a Wilson if I have to.
That is just my opinion, nothing more and is based on my own limited experiences.
On the other hand, I've also found that while Colt's seem less likely to have issues, their customer service was really, really poor when you do have problems (though this was several years ago).
Bushmaster on the other hand has always been great in the customer service department and handles things promptly.
If you decide you are willing to pay the extra $$$ to guarantee reliability, take a look at http://mstn.biz/ - They have an outstanding reputation when it comes to building highly-accurate and reliable AR15s.
September 15, 2004, 04:32 PM
Some reasons to go with colt:
Mil spec - i.e. bushmaster doesn't parkerize under sight base for ex., colt does per mil spec.
Colt magnaflux's and proof tests "all" bolts and barrels
M4 feed ramps on Colts M4 models (6920 or 6400C)
Non-std. FCG pins, but even Bushy makes replacement ones-not an issue
Thermoset handguards-withstand heat better-won't melt!
Chrome lined M4 barrels and chambers
Final seal on anodizing
Correct radius on magwell-mags drop free
September 15, 2004, 04:45 PM
In addition to non-standard pins, Colt's also puts a steel block in the lower to make it more difficult to work on the trigger. (Not sure if this is present in "LEO Only" versions) And Colt's bias against civilian sales of rifles with "evil" features is well known.
And my experience with Colt's NON-service for warranty work soured me on them.
I have a Bushmaster standard rifle and am very pleased with it.
September 15, 2004, 05:26 PM
Listing a chrome lined barrel as a plus for Colt over Bushmaster is a bit disingenuous, as they both have chrome lined barrels. Actually, for a while Colt wasn't even giving you a complete chrome bore & chamber, depending on which barrel you bought. They might still be going cheap on that - I don't know.
September 15, 2004, 05:29 PM
You are correct about the chrome bores not being std. on all civilian models. I know the 6920 and 6400C though do have chrome lined chambers and barrels.
September 15, 2004, 07:42 PM
(though I'd go bushy over colt, just because bushmaster fights for our RKBA more than colt does...)
September 15, 2004, 08:24 PM
My Mall Patrol Rifle is almost finished, just waiting on my LMT BUIS.
Other major components:
LMT 16" Upper & bolt
Bushmaster Lower
ACE ARFX Skeleton stock
I'll have an Aimpoint sight and mount on order soon.
I have a Stag lower that I'll build up in a month or so. It'll get an LMT "Crane" stock - not yet sure from there.
My recommendation?
Go with Bushmaster over Colt, simply due to Colt's attitude towards the civilian market. If you must have Colt, buy used. Otherwise, go with LMT or Bushmaster. (LMT does have the M4 feed ramps, btw.)
September 15, 2004, 10:33 PM
Both Bushmaster and Armalite are already advertising on their web sites AR-15s that are post AWB ban legal. Colt is not.
I have a Bushmaster and it is totally mil-spec, a fine rifle, quality all around, and the company has the right attitude. Colt has a negative attitude.
September 16, 2004, 09:45 AM
Get a Bushmaster, Armalite, or RRA. Colt's too busy trying to kiss up to the antis.
September 16, 2004, 10:45 AM
I have a Bushmaster and it is totally mil-spec, So it has the three-round burst feature? Along with all the other M16 components?
Hope it's legally registered with the BATmen.
Civilian-legal, post'86 AR15 clones can be close to mil spec, but unless the military is specifying rifles without full auto or burst control, they're not "totally" mil-spec. But from what I've read, Bushmaster is about as close as you'll get. Correct radius on magwell-mags drop free This works just fine on my Bushmaster - I don't see a Colt "advantage" here.

Another vote for Bushmaster. Standing up for our RKBA should be a factor. Plus they make good guns and cost less.
September 16, 2004, 01:10 PM
For those of you who have missed it, Colt has announced that they wont be puting the nasties on civvy guns and that LEO guns will remain destined for LE and military only.
I have had extensive conversations with Colt about this, as well as with two other very large Colt LE distributors (like us).
All of us agree that the deicsion makes sound financial and business sense for Colt. If you fail to see why, you are more interested in spouting off the same tired rhetoric than you are in focusing your energies in making America a better place for gun dealers. I wont waste energy debating it here, but Beren, if you for one would like to discuss it in private manner, gimme a call
Keep in mind in this equation that Colt is a manufacturer, Bushie and the rest are not (using manufacturing in the context of making guns as opposed to just assembling)
On the other hand, Colt boycotters make it easier for the rest of us as the supply of Colt AR15s is extremely limited and at least in our case, dealers are placing orders as fast as I can get em in.
Looks like there are gonna be two classes of AR owners..those who dont internet whine, and quietly and within the law end up with a Colt, and those who do whine and dont, then waste energy justifying themselves by contending that what they have is better for their "combat" needs, despite the fact that for most of us, combnat is rolling off the Laz Z Boy into a low crawl towards the fridge so SWMBO dont see us on the ice cream raid.
BTW...I own a Bushie M4gery for the main reason that Colt cant produce the model I want. Colts are noticably smoother, better finished and do have the M4 ramp. That being siad, for a fat armchair commando like me, those rails make no diff at all.
September 16, 2004, 01:25 PM
I guess I'm just stupid, but despite the fact that I am a business/finance professional, I'm missing the part where pissing off large numbers of customers is a wise business decision.
I guess I've just swallowed the old tired rhetoric, but if my company went out of its way to make its customers feel stupid, I can't imagine that being a sound choice.
Please enlighten us serfs.
September 16, 2004, 01:54 PM
I too would like to know why it makes business sense other than attempting to circumvent possible legal action in the future, which in reality probably won't matter to the Anti's anyway.
I have been on these forums a long time and you know me not to be a troll or somebody who just wants to start stuff or tow the company line so to speak. I am generally interested in the financial reasoning behind this as I can personally not see it.
If you think this is something that will fire up a flamefest then I would be happy to PM you.

September 16, 2004, 03:05 PM
All of us agree that the deicsion makes sound financial and business sense for Colt. Ummm . . . I apologize in advance if you find this offensive, but from reading your post, doesn't the "us" you write of comprise Colt distributors carrying on a business (financial) relationship with Colt?

Cor, cslinger if ya want to discuss with me prvately for your own edification, feel free to call
HankB that is offensive. Ya'll want to say that I am or will be have been gouging with respect to Colt products? That pisses me off. Or is it the mere fact that I consider ourselves to be a representive of a fine company that "clouds my judgement"? And how much is your judgement clouded by your won personal worldview as set forth in the rhetoric in your post.
By the way, I didnt say that I liked the decision, I only said I agreed with it in a business sense
And why am I even debating this
September 16, 2004, 04:30 PM
Why is it that Colt is often villified for concentrating on their military contracts, at the assumed expense of civilian sales? No other defense contractor I am aware of has to run such a gauntlet of irritated civilian consumers. Does anyone mind that Lockheed-Martin concentrates on fighter-jet production instead of commercial pleasure craft? Colt's military sales are it's bread and butter and it's civilian sales are a relatively minor end of the business; perhaps someone "in the know"can expain to me why I should be upset about this.
As to the battle of the "M4's", I can comment on my experience with "M4" versions as curently manufactured by Colt, Bushmaster and Armalite. I went through several Bushmasters and an Armalite before concluding that my Colt M4 was the best of them in all areas that mattered to me - initial build quality, accuracy and reliability. My Colt has now gone through almost 3000 rounds unerringly, with minimal ham-fisted maintenance. My Bushmaster and Armalite carbines had nagging functional issues. The Bushmasters had numerous initial build quality problems, such as the much-lamented over-torqued barrel, tight magwell, loose gas key, etc.
Does my experience "prove" that the Colt is better? No, obviously not. If my Colt, Bushmaster and Armalite are representative samples of the breed, then yes, my Colt IS the better of them.
The fact is, IMO, that almost all of these weapons work well for what most of us use them for - blazing through ammo at the range. The fact that Colt is the only manufacturer that magnafluxes all their barrels, bolts and carriers (as well as shot-peens the carriers) and performs many quality checks that the others don't, prolly isn't going to make much of a difference on the range. Might it under hard use? Maybe. Is it worth it? Well, that's a personal decision based on one's level of concern and financial freedom. My Colt M4 was only $30 more that the similarly equipped Bushmaster - it was certainly worth it to me.
The trigger pin issues are a concern to some, and not to me. Spares are readily available in all sizes in the extremely unlikely event of a failure. Sear blocks? Well, I don't have a DIAS and don't plan on spending the 6 grand for one, so it matters little to me. RRA receivers have a shelf that make it impossible to use a DIAS without milling (like Colt), but we don't hear much complaining about that. Push Pins? Colt has used standard front and rear push pins for the last few years, but the misinformation to the contrary persists.
I still have a Bushmaster 20" A3 and I like it. The barrel's too heavy (damn HBAR!) but it's accurate and it works fairly well. My Colt AR's work better and are put together better, so they're what I like. I think the Colt M4 is better than other versions because what I know of its construction and performance leads me to believe that it is the better weapon.
Does that matter when I'm at the range next to the guy shooting the Bushie M4A3? I don't have a problem with his choice, but he usually has a problem with mine. :banghead: Oh well.
Thanks for listening,
September 16, 2004, 05:03 PM
Hoo boy . . . sounds like I touched a sore nerve, but I maintain that business relationships can, and do, influence a person's objectivity. I'd expect a Chevy dealer to tout the virtues of Chevy trucks, a Dell salesman to praise Dell computers . . . and a Colt LE distributor to praise Colts LE products. For exactly the same reasons.
But just to be clear, Wildalaska, I never said a word - NOT ONE WORD - about you gouging your customers - YOU and YOU ALONE used the word and brought it into the debate. If you take offense against something I actually said, fine - I'm a big boy, I can deal with that.
But don't make something up, imply it came from me, and then use your own rhetoric to piss yourself off - at that point you're 'way out of line.
September 16, 2004, 05:04 PM
My Bushmasters have thousands of rounds through them with no issues at all. They go bang, EVERY time.
They also have 4150 chrome lined barrels, full weight semi carriers, lower receivers that are normal in every way, and metal buffers. They are much closer to mil-spec than almost all of Colt's civilian lineup.
The only Colt that stacks up, IMO, is the MT6400c carbine.
Regardless of their reasoning, Colt's politics are also annoying, but thats not why I bought Bushmasters. I was thinking of getting an MT6400c, but will only really consider it hard if they put on a flash suppressor, bayonet lug, and collapsible stock. My new LMT upper is the best looking upper I've ever seen, after handling examples of just about everything, and it IS, to my knowledge, absolutely 100% milspec except for possibly the barrel length... not sure if there are any 16" M4 profiles in use by the military. Can't wait to let her rip when the lower gets back from Lauer. FWIW.
September 16, 2004, 05:16 PM
Vanfunk, nice post...
I note that QC probs that occasionally surface at Bushmaster are minimized if ya build me yerself....
Hank B yer the one who raised the biz end to attack my veracity. I wasnt talking about product quality, I was talking about Colts business needs. Im better off if they sell to the public arent I...? Or are you implying that Im not.....
Accordingly, whose the one out of line?
September 16, 2004, 05:54 PM
Defenitely Bushy. Colt is wishy washy about civie sales, they have odd pins and are no better than Bushy but charge more. Don't waste your dollars.
September 16, 2004, 06:07 PM
Ford vs. Chevy....
I will add, DPMS makes an M4 clone as well, so does RRA.
All are good guns. Get what you can find and give your money to the company whose policies you agree with. You will still be getting a damn fine rifle.
September 16, 2004, 08:53 PM
How will Colt know if a dealer is selling their rifles to non-law enforcement personnel?
Is the reason they are not selling rifles with bayonet lugs and flash hiders to regular citizens because of liability fears? If so, I dont understand why the would sell any rifle to the public. The Beltway sniper used a post ban rifle, and Bushmaster had to pay out.
If Colt doesn't want to sell their guns to the public, they have every right. I have been happy with every Colt product I have ever owned and certainly aren't trying to bash them, but I sure don't understand their business strategy at times.
They let Ruger take over the single action revolver market by not realizing their was an interest in sub-$1000 revolvers.
They never even made a legitimate attempt to market a Wonder-Nine in the '80s.
They let Kimber and Springfield dominate the 1911 market.
And now they are going to give all the AR business to Bushmaster?
Do they still even have large military contracts? I thought I had read the FN was contracting with the military now.
September 16, 2004, 11:36 PM
Do they still even have large military contracts? I thought I had read the FN was contracting with the military now.
FN got the contract for the M16A2s. Colt still has the contract for the M4 rifles. At least until the military stops using them. (http://www.military.com/soldiertech/0,14632,Soldiertech_XM8,,00.html) At that point, Colt will probably go out of business unless they make some serious changes to their business model.
September 17, 2004, 11:20 AM
Oh boy seems this pops up at least once a month.
Out of the 6 AR's I've owned or own only Colt has not given me trouble.
Buy the Colt I currently own 2 M-4 Sporters(6400c) models.
And IF, Colt goes belly up it'll be worth more anyhow.

Again, what exactly is this "wishy-washy" thing about civilian sales? Colt has never stopped selling AR's, ever. Colt AR's have gone through periods of drought, certainly, and there have been interruptions in production due to financial reorganization and military production needs. Would anyone actually contend that it would be better to keep AR's in production for the civilian market and undercut the procurement needs of the US armed forces? As to the whole "neutered AR" thing during Colt's Blue Label period, well, it's really a matter of personal preference. I know I'm not going to win over anyone who truly feels that Colt sold out to the anti's when they dropped the bayonet lugs from production (although I don't see it that way at all). It's just not a big issue for me and I've never missed having a bayonet on my rifle. The quality of the rifles made during that period (in my experience) was excellent, lug or no lug. As to wasting dollars, I have to disagree there as Colt AR's tend to hold their value far better than the competition.
I prefer Colts, but that is not to say I think all other brands are junk (inferior, yes:evil: , but junk, no). I'm of the opinion that 99% of the ARs available today from any major manufacturer are perfectly capable of performing well in the civilian environment. All manufacturers have put out problem weapons as well. If your $400 mongrel, parts kit, smorgasboard franken-AR works well, then that's great! Having fun with these things is what most of us own them for. I don't feel that I got "taken" with my $900 Colt because your $400 kit gun works well, nor will I look down my nose at you for owning it. The kit gun that works doesn't automatically render my Colt an "overpriced piece of crap", either. Run 'em both hard until something breaks- I'll put my wages on the Colt running longer.
As always, one really can't go too far wrong with an AR these days (except with a Vulcan / Hesse Arms:what: ). Buy what you like and shoot, shoot, shoot! Of course, you'll shoot better if you buy a Colt!:D

Someone asked how Colt will know if someone is selling their law enforcement only guns. I'm in the market for an AR and was just looking around when I found this auction. Price is probably going to wind up about triple what I want to spend, but I still find it interesting that a gun dealer is already selling LEO rifles to civilians that Colt doesn't us to have.

Why is it that Colt is often villified for concentrating on their military contracts, at the assumed expense of civilian sales?
vanfunk is dead-on.
Bingo. I'd bet dollars to donuts that Colt is moving through a "Lean Transformation" (the split into Commercial and Military firms is a dead giveaway) and the civilian rifle market product lines are now a square peg in a round hole. I'd be surprised if the HBAR is in their civilian catalog next year.
It's purely a business decision based on streamlining their engineering, manufacturing, marketing and distribution costs, not to mention the liability exposure from selling "evil" rifles to civilians.
September 21, 2004, 11:00 PM
Are Colt LE rifles built on properly spec'd lowers or the bastardized Civy lowers?
September 22, 2004, 07:53 AM
If the quality of Colt rifles (which is good) matched the quality of their business decision making- they would be called High Point. Their philosophy always seems to be, " If the people want it - don't market it".
They are not a market drive company - they are a government contract driven company...and for good reason - the free market would let them die.

My favorite shop is able to obtain Colt LE rifles, and intends to sell them to civilians, in defiance of Colt policies.
Personally, I don't give a ???? what Colt's "motivation" is. They will NEVER see a dollar from me. In the words of a friend of mine, who owns half a dozen SBR lowers and has been around ARs/M16s for serious purposes for decades, "you couldn't trade me two colts for an LMT".
There are superior manufacturers out there who don't carry Colt's BS politics. Go elsewhere.

October 30, 2004, 09:57 AM
I am not impressed with colt much these days...especially their snobbery towards us commoners when it comes to getting what we want when its legally obtainable now.
yeah..let them sell their products to LE or govt sales so they dont offend the polically correct blisninnies running things there.surly no commoner like me needs to buy their namebrand stuff anyhow,not that I could afford any of it anyhow.
Ill stick with my bushmaster and be able to have the pins and goodies that fit it available.If ya'll want a colt,get a "colt" politically correct rifle and pay someone to work on them to fit those evil features.
anyone that tells me I cant have something that is legal now..well..I'LL just shop elsewhere.
October 30, 2004, 03:33 PM
A Colt at a fair price = Better resale value down the road.
Me....I like a purchase that makes better economic sense in the long run.
October 30, 2004, 04:15 PM
I've got one or two each of- Colt, Bushmaster, DPMS, Olympic Arms. They're all good rifles. They all run 100%. Given the choice when buying a new rifle I'd buy a Bushmaster over the others just because of the outstanding customer service I received from them on one occasion. If a situation arose when I needed one immediately/life or death situation I'd grab whichever was at hand.
October 31, 2004, 10:29 AM
Thanks to my friend Gewehr98 for sharing,with us, that Colt communiqué.
After reading it several times I can't help but notice, besides the grammatical errors, two very important sentences.
In the first paragraph, regarding Magazines;
"Manufacturing capacities dictates that Colt serves these markets fully without any interuption in the flow of material to these important customers."
In the second paragraph regarding Law Emforcement Rifles;
"Manufacturing capacities dictate that the requirements of our US Government and Law Enforcement customers be served first and fully."
I ran those paragraphs by several High School students and had then dissect them looking for the Who, What, When, Where, Why and How.
The Why always boiled down to those tow sentences quotes above.
It appears that, based soley upon the above information, Colt, at thr present time, doesn't have the capacity to produce enough magazines or evil black rifles to satisfy the market demands.
Nowhere does it say they will never sell the previously restricted items to Joe Averageman. Nowhere does it say to whom the products may be resold. It simply says that Colt doesn't have enough to go around right now.
Colt is an "Order Driven" company. The US Military orders come first.
Right now that is Colt's bread & butter. LE Distributors are next in line. They know that in order to maintain a constant supply they have to submit a standing order. That leaves the Commercial Distributors last in line.
Now Distributors have their own pecking order in the way they service their dealers.
The larger stocking deals have standing orders with their distributors. They get first choice on the goodies.
Joe Schmuck Gunshoppe, who never orders a single item from his Colt distributor, unless he has a customer foaming at the mouth, for it is going to have a devil of a time getting anything other than a Keychain or Baseball cap that says Colt on it.
So if you want a real Prancing Pony Evil Black Rifle just find a dealer who has a good relationship with a Colt LE Distributor and become a good customer.
Most people don't realize that the gun business is still a Good Ol' Boy system. When a good piece comes in, it's friends and preferred customers that get first crack at it.
Another hint. Dropping by a gunshop once a year, pressing your nose against the glass, asking to look at every gun in the case while complaining about the price, pawing through every holster hanging on the wall (putting half of them back on the wrong hooks) while whining about the lack of selection and grabbing 17 free catalogues on your way out after spending a whopping $1.37 on a single box of Aguila Super Colibri ammo doesn't make you a preferred customer.

It appears that, based soley upon the above information, Colt, at thr present time, doesn't have the capacity to produce enough magazines or evil black rifles to satisfy the market demands.
Add to that...due to the M4 contract alone, they can barely get pistols out.....
Colt is making herculean efforts to increase production....but military comes first....
By the way, tried to get a Trijicon lately?
LE Distributors are next in line. They know that in order to maintain a constant supply they have to submit a standing order.
Note that larger orders get prference too a bit....Joe Blow LE distribtor ordfers one gun and may wait longer than some one who orders 90
When a good piece comes in, it's friends and preferred customers that get first crack at it.
I bet so many guys who whine about Colts do so becasue they cant get em...I see that all the time...a guy comes in, cant afford a SIG or a Colt, then proceeds to lecture me about how a Bresa or a Charles Daly is a superior weapon

no wonder WA always treats me like one of his enslaved employees. its always 'take this paperwork to the girls, and tell them it needs this, that, and the other thing.' 'mop this floor!' 'clean this gun!' 'show that customer where the latrine is!'
so will i get preferred treatment if i buy a brick of .22 ammo?

At once a compendious expropriation of enormous
diversity and a brisk narrative, this work seeks to
"minimally circumscribe" a pivotal figure in
Western thought, Saint Augustine. In an effort to
satisfy the law of non-contradiction and thereby
preserve God's omnipotence and justice - two terms
in a configuration of three - Augustine boldly
confronted the third, evil. Resorting to what
were, by judicial norms, even then obsolescent
notions of pollution he instead confounded God with
an all the more inscrutable evil, thereby
consigning Western civilization to a long blind alley
from which it has yet to completely return. Like
that of Blumenberg, Ricouer's charge that Augustinian
theology is "anti-gnostic gnosticism" is not simply
substantiated here but amplified. Meissner goes
further, suggesting that Augustine's unforgiving
interpretation of Christianity reduced its adherents
to an incapacity most recognizable in the figure of
the slave; that is, a living nullity, static,
undecidable and human – saved – only and always in
potentia, neither alive to this world nor certain to
gain acceptance in the next.

Discussion in 'AV Receivers & Amplifiers' started by aandpwoodley, Oct 29, 2010.
makes no odds goes straight into standby mode which is very wierd really!!!
Have you got another speaker you could try , or try your speaker on another cd system . The speaker maybe faulty.
Need some help please.
I'm trying to stream music to my 5008, I have opened windows media player and have enabled sharing. I can see 5008 on the network but when I go to the amp and press the net/usb button & toggle to server the amp keeps displaying No server.
Any ideas would be welcome.
So it has one for the front two channels one for the center one for the surr one for the surr back and one for the height speakers and the last one is for the Sub's that makes 6x sound awesome.
I have a Denon BD3800 that uses the PCM1796 but only has 1 inside can a signal chip do all channels!!! And when I use the BD3800 for it analog side it blows me out of this world
How are you liking your 3008 now vs the LX73. Am still waiting on my one Shop hurry Up.
The PCM1796 can do a maximum of 2 channels, so if the Denon only has one chip, then it's for the front left and right only.
So it might use some think different for the rest of the channels.
I just had a look inside my Denon 3800 and it has a PCM1796 Chip for the Stereo 2ch and uses 4 chips for the 7.1 channel. so it has 5 chips inside. so the 3008 Onkyo will be the same. plus one more for the height Channels.
Anyone please, it's doing my head in.
It is not something I have used, but a couple of questions.
Are you able to get internet radio stations to the Onk?
Have you turned off the Onk (power rather than standby) after allowing the sharing?
Have you checked the cabling. Always good to check this.
Presuming you are using Audyssey, have you rerun the setup, or tried it with Audyssey off?
I have just been comparing the Denon 4311 to the 3008 and inside the 4311 look build down vs the 3008 the 4311 only has one transformer where the 3008 has 4 transformers and the Build Quality look poor vs the Onkyo is it me or do other agree.
Hi Ricky,
Internet radio is working fine & I've done the firmware update so it's connected to the Internet.
That's good. At least we know it is probably not a network issue.
Probably not what you want to hear after setting up the Onk, but with some of the previous models streaming functions have been started by doing a hard reset. It refreshes the cache and the Onkyo looks for a new server which is should now find....
Other things to check is the permissions on the shares in Windows.
I have got to set up an Onk 3008 in the next few days, so will see if I can provide more help then.
Anyone else with any idea on what i've done wrong, could someone who has it working post a step by step guide.
thanks in advance
I've been told it's the settings on my BT home hub, any idea's on what needs to be chaged.
Hi. I wonder if anyone can help?
I have an Onkyo 3008 and have a Playstation 3 connected to it via HDMI and the receiver is connected via HDMI to a Panasonic TX-P50VT20B television.
I have the resolution setting set to AUTO on my receiver but when I play a Bluray disc the input signal is shown on the receiver as 1080p 24fps but the ouput signal to the television is converted to 1080p 60Hz. I can manually change the output resolution on my receiver to 1080p 24fps and when I do this the signal is output in this format. If I connect the Playstation directly to the television and bypass the Onkyo receiver then the television also receives and displays the picture in 1080p 24fps. Why, when I have the resolution set to AUTO is the Onkyo receiver converting a 1080p 24fps signal into 1080p 60Hz?
Many Thanks.
Set to "Through" mode on the 3008 and report back.
I will try setting resolution to Through as you suggest but I fully expect it to work and output 1080p 24fps as it will just pass the signal from the Playstation to the TV untouched. I just wondered why the receiver is changing the input signal and outputting 1080p 60Hz. I would have thought that if the Playstation is playing a bluray disc and outputting 24fps then the receiver, set to AUTO would automatically pass the signal to the TV without any additional conversion.
The "Auto" setting is worked out by the Onkyo checking the EDID of your display. So instead of matching the input, it will output at the highest resolution and refresh rate possible.
Hi Bluefalcon.
So if I understand you correctly then 1080p 60hz is a better image resolution than 24fps so the receiver is selecting this automaticaly. It doesn't take into account that the film was shot at 24fps and match the resolution. It upscales it to the highest possible resolution which is 1080p 60hz. If this is the case would you leave the receiver set to Auto so it upscales to 60hz or would you set it to through so it does no upscaling and passes the signal from the Playstation unaltered. Bear in mind that the Playstation is also used for gaming. Would the Playstation just output at the most appropriate resolution depending on the material being played? Finally, just to add, although my TV is 1080p 24fps capable when watching blurry films the image is a lot smoother when the receiver changes the resolution to 60hz. It can be quite choppy at 24fps. Would you let your receiver change the resolution by setting to Auto or have it set to pass through a 1080p 24fps signal?
The resolution is the same, it's just the refresh rate that is different. In theory 60Hz is better, which is why many "auto" settings on equipment will choose it, but in reality this is not always the case.
Regardless of the image resolution, if the source refresh rate is 24Hz then converting to 60Hz will cause issues. I always upscale the resolution using my Edge VP (if required) but always leave the refresh rate the same as the original.
Setting your Receiver to "Through" is recommended, but doing so will only give you the best results if you make sure your sources are all outputting the optimal resolution at the correct refresh rate for whatever it is playing.
Thanks. That explains things.
Greetings. . .
I just upgraded from a dead HDMI module on a 5007 to a new 5008. My defective HD950 projector (unlucky year),
was switched to a JVC X7. Both were installed today. The first thing I notice is the image size difference between my HTPC and SKY UK HD. In the past the 5007 would display Sky HD @ 720P and my HTPC @ 1440 x900 with very little difference in size on the projected image (when inputs are switched).
After hours of testing "through, auto and source" settings on the Onkyo > input output menu, I have crawled here for help.
What I have tried so far:
Setting both Sky HD and HTPC to 1280 x 720 - In this config the HTPC image is smaller than the screen but fills the screen on Sky HD. (aligned projected image to screen with green grid brought up by lense function on projector).
Setting HTPC on 1440 x 900 and leaving Sky on 720p.
As before the PC image is smaller. . .Adjusting zoom to fit screen sees bleeding of sky on the wall (as expected).
Am I missing smth obvious?
I hope someone here has a smoother transition than I do. . .any thoughts welcome.
I'm not familiar with JVC projectors, but it sounds like it's upscaling the 720p image from Sky HD to 1080p, but displaying the HTPC image in its native format.
What happens if you set the HTPC to output 1920x1080?
HELP PLEASE, I have New ONKYO 3008, and a toshiba ep-35 hd dvd player, set to 1080p/24hz, I have the hd dvd player connected to the hdmi input, and my epson eh-tw3600 to the main out hdmi of the receiver, if I set the receiver to through, source, auto, I am getting interference on the screen the only best image and stable is at 1080i.
at 1080p/24 on the reciver there is no interference however the image is not stable it is moving up and down a little.
I found a solution to my Problem, by pressing the vcr/dvr button and keeping a hold of it and then pressing the enter button allows you to skip or use the Video Processor, I swiched it of and it worked fine, enabled it again and seess to be working fine.
Replied to this yesterday . . . .not sure what happened.
@ 1080p the HTPC image is smallest on the screen with black borders.
@ 1440x900 and 1680x900 the projector reports a 1680x1050 input feed.
@ 1776 x 1000 the projector reports 1080p
All the above are at the "through" setting in source setup on the 5008.
I cannot see any setting for scaling on the JVC.
Just had a though, I will bypass the onkyo altogether and repot here. . . .
Eliminating the onkyo has revealed the culprit to be the JVC X7.
1920x1080 and 1280 x 720 signals are not listed as supported resolutions for HDMI on this projector. It automatically upscales my signal to the nearest native HDMI resolution.
Currently awaiting instructions from JVC. . . Now I wonder if this is a time to use the scaling properties of the 5008. . .
Wait, what? Surely there is something seriously wrong there.
Separate names with a comma.

There's no denying that Williams-port's art scene is growing at an exponential rate; gallery shows that bring in a multitude of artists, well-attended First Friday events, the artisan community that is the Pajama Factory, and much more, have all been coming together to help the art scene flourish.
But what also is aiding Williamsport's artistic prosperity is the presence of a kind of alliance between local establishments.
The connection between art and dining is a historic one, so it certainly comes as no surprise that 3 Gringos, Williamsport's newest restaurant, would seek out vibrant decor to enhance their customers' ever-important dining experience.
Article Photos
LYNDSEY HEWITT/Sun-Gazette
LYNDSEY HEWITT/Sun-Gazette
Many restaurants, even fast-food joints, generally always have some sort of artwork hanging. Perhaps it's noticed, though a lot of times, arguably, it isn't.
For 3 Gringos, 343 Pine St., in Pine Square next to The Brickyard, their newly acquired artwork is not in the boat of going unnoticed.
3 Gringos is a Cal-Mex-style restaurant; they like to call it "Tex-Mex's free-spirited surfer cousin. Like Bodhi from 'Point Break,' but with just the right amount of cheese."
Naturally, the vision for the owners' new restaurant encompassed themes from Dia De Los Muertos, or Day of the Dead - a popular Mexican holiday that celebrates death.
Despite its morbid focus, Day of the Dead has a distinct and beautiful artistic style. Much of it is vibrant with swirling patterns, and emanates an idiosyncratic ambiance that is both pleasant and mischievous. Its "mascot," so to speak, is a caricature of a human skull.
3 Gringo's helps facilitate that pleasant and mischievous atmosphere through carefully chosen art and decor that was purchased recently through Converge Gallery. The selected artwork chosen, though not exactly the Dia De Los Muertos "cartoonish" style, owner David Hertwig calls a contemporary spin on the Day of the Dead theme.
"We are doing a Cal-Mex restaurant, which the basis of that type of food is Mexican. One of their major holidays is Day of the Dead, which is where we were kind of going but also contemporary. We kind of took a little spin on it," he said.
A restaurant bought some art, but so what? What makes this transaction important and symbolic is its devotion to staying local.
"We try to do 99 percent of what we can do locally as long as it's not totally cost-prohibitive," Hertwig said.
Most everything at 3 Gringos, right down to the metal beams in the building, come from local ties.
"It's something I learned a long time ago if you spend your money - if you spend a dollar, at a local place, like three times as much of that money stays here."
"Spend your money at a chain, where 90 percent of the profits go down to Florida or wherever, nobody sees it," he explained.
"If I buy from a local artist, he pays his rent to a local person, and so on ... you know, it just works. We live in this community, and it's our choice whether or not to make it better or worse."
Hertwig and his partners choose to make it better by buying locally to support the community as a whole. Converge Gallery owner, Casey Gleghorn expressed his gratitude for 3 Gringo's support.
"We at Converge Gallery are very excited, this is the first privately owned business to invest in this amount of art. It confirms for us, as a contemporary art gallery, that we are going in the right direction," Gleghorn said.
3 Gringos purchased art from a total of five artists, two of whom are from the area.
Chad Andrews
A set of dark, gritty works, nine all together, came from Chad Andrews of Williamsport.
"The Three truck prints, the estes prints, were a personal project; they took 13 years. They are near and dear to my heart. The skull prints and plates were a collaborative effort with Christopher Leete - (we) worked on them at the studio at the Pajama Factory and were designed to be kind of the Day of the Dead imagery. That's how Casey linked it all together with 3 Gringos," Andrews said.
Three of his skull plates hang high above the liquor shelves behind the bar, overlooking customers.
"The place feels fantastic, I feel thrilled to be shown with these guys. 3 Gringos has a good vibe. It's setting precedent for other restaurants to have good, solid, original fine art. It says something about the city," Andrews said.
Brian Goings
Goings is from Clinton, N.J. His works were a last minute purchase for the restaurant; his pieces are similar to baseball cards but are a homage to the artist Marcel Duchamp.
Jennifer Gunlock
Jennifer Gunlock of Los Angeles, Calif., was an artist-in-residence at the Pajama Factory in 2010. 3 Gringos purchased a large door-piece.
" 'Ground Control' is a collage-drawing on a found door that is suspended on the top by a chain. I made it on-site at Converge Gallery a year ago when I was preparing for my solo show. We pulled the glass-paned door up from the Converge basement, dusted it off, then I spent the next two and a half weeks in a studio upstairs working on the piece," she said.
She believes it's vital that art exist in any and all places, outside of galleries and museums, so that it is accessible to everyone.
"Art can startle one out of his busy little head and busy little drama for just a brief minute, and shift the mind into an altered state of thinking," she said.
Kasey Lyon
An employee himself at the Converge Gallery and 2013 graduate of Lycoming College, Kasey Lyon was actually commissioned by the restaurant to make a portion of the artwork that was purchased from him.
"The pieces of mine that were purchased are any of the metal sculptures that you see in the restaurant. There are two commissions as well as three other separate works," he said.
Having seen his work on display at 3 Gringos, he's happy with the outcome.
"I have seen the pieces on display and I love the way all of the work fits. Four very different artists with completely different styles and mediums, yet in the setting they're in, they really mesh well," Lyon said.
Johnny Romeo
Out of the group of artists, Johnny Romeo, of Sydney, Australia, is the most distinguished in his artistic career, having had countless exhibitions, reviews in major publications, television appearances and more.
His work is very much pop art, with extremely vibrant colors and "comic book aesthetics." He recently completed a collaborative work with pop-punk band Blink-182.
"Pennsylvania has a very rich history and to be able to show my work there is both an honour and very exciting for me," Romeo said.
"The gallery has recently sold out of my works and I am thrilled that my work has been so well received in Williamsport," he added.
Having contacted Romeo more than a year ago, Casey Gleghorn made sure to get Romeo to show at Converge. After meeting Romeo in Chelsea, N.Y., they discussed plans for the future show.
"Casey Gleghorn is a very passionate art dealer who is very innovative and progressive in his dealings. I knew instantly I wanted to be a part of that. He has a global plan for Williamsport and his enthusiasm and energy for art in his gallery and city is contagious. For me, not being from Williamsport made it all the more important to want to show there," he said.
Ultimately, the art comes together in a cohesive way that customers are noticing and enjoying.
"Art and food go together very well, they compliment each other, they are one in the same, it's just a different way of expression. Different places call for different types," Hertwig said.
3 Gringos is going to be a set theme but left a lot of open space to keep adding more. All the while, Williamsport's art scene continues to grow.

Since you don't mention which platform or ssh implementation you're using
it's hard to say.
Some ssh implementations support enough of the ftp protocol to support
ftp over ssh by interpretting the ftp commands. Check the documentation
for yours to see if this is the case.
Others don't, but do support dynamic forwarding (ie SOCKS). Ought to work
if your ftp client and server support passive mode and the ftp client
can be SOCKSified (either native support or a tool such as runsocks or
socksify) or your OS supports stack-level socksification (this is the
case for AIX and I believe Mac OS X).

It can get rather busy and some of the most in-demand exhibitions charge for entry and you may have to wait a while. This weekend we went to buy tickets for the Wildlife Photographer of the Year exhibition and at 3.30pm they only had tickets for 5pm and the exhibition was packed even then.
Great museum though.

where is the mean of the variable xv for the cases belonging to the group i and Sv is the overall standard deviation of this variable.
Moreover, the program provides a possibility of using "weighted" distance, called Displacement, which is defined as follows:
The program starts using an initial classification variable defined a priori, or a random sample of cases or a stepwise sample of cases, which constitute the initial core of the groups. An iterative procedure refines the results by stabilizing the cores. The final group constitutes the categories of the classification variable. The number of typology groups may be reduced using an algorithm of hierarchical ascending classification

Chelsea's vivacity in the summer transfer window has been well-documented in recent weeks, as manager Roberto Di Matteo looked to reinvigorate his side (despite having won the Champions' League and FA Cup last season).
A number of new faces were brought in over the summer, though naturally this rebuilding process had a knock-on effect on the rest of the squad.
Whether it was to cash in on a player's value, to shave off a portion of the wage bill, or to simply free up some valuable squad space, a total of six players secured permanent transfers away from Stamford Bridge in the close season.
From the young and the old, from the stars to the surplus, this article takes a closer look at the summer departures and reflects on the effect that these moves may have on the team.

Vacation Design
It's not just wealth, taste and insider knowledge that distinguish the vacation homes of renowned interior designers from the rest. Whereas most people's vacation homes offer an escape from work, for decorators they provide just the opposite -- an opportunity to bring work home in a meaningful way, with room for experimentation.
The results appear in "Designers Abroad: Inside the Vacation Homes of Top Decorators" (The Monacelli Press, 2013), a new coffee table book by Michele Keith featuring 22 vacation homes around the globe.
The book brings out shared characteristics that can serve as hallmarks to others who own vacation homes or wish to create a vacation home vibe in their everyday abodes. Three such hallmarks, according to Keith, are low-maintenance materials and furnishings; areas and features designed specifically for entertaining; and design elements that reflect the native character of the host country.
Though Keith finds the homes otherwise "all so different," other commonalities include natural and reclaimed materials, large windows with views, provisions for privacy and solitude when needed, outdoor living areas, sumptuous guest rooms and climate-specific features like shaded clerestories (high windows) and in-floor radiant heat.
For husband-and-wife design team Courtney and Robert Novogratz, who bought a second home in Brazil, easy maintenance is a key concern because they have seven children and a beach nearby. Washable denim slipcovers and polished cement floors "make for easy housekeeping," Keith said.
In her second home in Spain, New York-based designer Fawn Galli, a mother of two, opts for cowhide rugs because they can be swept easily.
Less time cleaning means more time relaxing with family and friends. "Everyone wants low maintenance in a vacation home," Keith said.
Speaking of entertaining, it's no wonder that guest comfort and casual gathering areas are high on the list of priorities as well. Many designers create entertainment areas that bring together the indoors and outdoors.
Ample seating arranged into "conversation areas," daybeds for napping and extra robes and slippers are just a few of the amenities intended to make guests feel not at home but far away from their everyday responsibilities and concerns.
Passing along advice from a decorator featured in her previous book, "Designers Here and There: Inside the City and Country Homes of America's Top Decorators" (The Monacelli Press, 2010), Keith said hosts should "test out" guest rooms for convenience and comfort by spending the night in them.
"Is the light the right distance from the bed? Do you have a clock and extra blankets? A water pitcher and glasses?" she asks. "Guests don't like to ask for special treatment, so you want to make sure of these things beforehand."
New York-based designer Michael La Rocca goes further in his second home in Sri Lanka, making the guest bathroom identical to the master bath, each with a glass-tiled, sunken bathtub; a sculptural waterspout streaming into it; and a mahogany vanity with double sinks.
Interestingly, more than one vacation home has a kitchen that can be closed off to contain messes and restore a sense of calm -- a contrast to the popular open floor plans in many primary residences.
A tendency to incorporate elements native to the host country and reflective of its culture and landscape was the third hallmark Keith notes.
Though it contains a "global roundup of furnishings," the vacation home of Alexandra Angle stands out as an ode to its host country, Nova Scotia, as well as an ideal retreat because of its color palette. Angle tells Keith she was inspired by the surrounding landscape's "moody blues and grays, delicious greens and lavenders" Ñ colors that correspond so seamlessly with the interior that Keith said the window seat cushions "act somewhat like reflecting pools."
But just as important, Angle said, the colors are "completely different hues than those we have at home in Los Angeles." Perhaps when the painstaking details all come together, it's just such a contrast that characterizes a vacation home.

on February 9, 2013 - 7:28 PM
LOCKPORT – The Common Council voted last week to sell a 50-year lease on the cellphone tower atop the Outwater Park water tower.
Landmark Dividend will pay a lump sum of $226,423 for the remainder of the 25-year lease the city granted to Sprint Spectrum Communications in 2000.
The El Segundo, Calif., company expressed interest in buying the Sprint lease in December. Sprint would pay its annual rent to Landmark, not the city. After it expires, Landmark will be able to lease space to some other company if it wishes, Corporation Counsel John J. Ottaviano said.
However, Landmark's payment to the city exceeds the $184,896 the city was to have collected from Sprint over the 12 years remaining on the lease, and Lockport will be able to lease other space on the water tower to other communications companies if the opportunity arises, Ottaviano said.
After receiving Landmark's offer, the city solicited proposals from three competitors, but Landmark's price was "the highest and best proposal received," the Council resolution said.
In antoher matter, the Council approved a $17,500, one-year contract with the Lumsden & McCormick auditing firm to serve as the city's budget consultant.
Council President Anne E. McCaffrey said two partners in the firm, John Schiavone and Sara Dayton, will divide the work. They estimated they will put in 100 hours on the Lockport budget.
Richard P. Mullaney, who had been budget director since 1983, retired at the end of 2011. He handled the preparation of the 2013 budget under a $12,000 consulting contract.
Craig E. Speers, a former municipal auditor for the State Comptroller's Office, made a presentation to the Council two months ago and was a candidate for the part-time post.
The Council also voted to hire a telecommunications consultant, Soteria – IT of Orchard Park, for $10,000 to design a new City Hall phone system. The system itself has been estimated to cost about $200,000, which the city will likely borrow, Mayor Michael W. Tucker said.
Aldermen also voted to ratify City Treasurer Michael E. White's sale of four properties from the Oct. 23 tax foreclosure auction to the second-highest bidder, after White disqualified the high bidder because of violations of auction rules.
One of the rejected bidders, Daryl Ubiles, is suing the city because the city kept the $6,150 in deposits Ubiles put down on two parcels. Ubiles said in his lawsuit that he was unaware that he owed $399 in school and city taxes on another property, but he paid the bill the day he learned of it, which was six days after the auction.
In a reply to the lawsuit filed in court, the city said its stance complies with state law and argued that it's up to the bidders to know and obey the terms of sale.
Also, the Council set a public hearing for 6 p.m. Feb. 20 on a special-use permit for Lockport Recycling Center, a new construction and demolition waste handling business to be located at 178 Oakhurst St.

Yes, Tim Tebow still wants to play in the NFL despite the contract he has with ESPN to do on-air work for the SEC Network. And yes, those bulging muscles continue to bulge as the ex-Jets quarterback tries to mount a comeback.
FOX 10 Phoenix caught up with Tebow as he stays in shape. His workout apparently includes lightly tip-toeing over hurdles, along with a sport we've never seen before -- a modified game of volleyball (or maybe because players catch, it's modified Newcomb) using a 10-pound ball. We're exhausted just watching this clip.
"One of my favorite quotes is, 'I don't know what my future holds, but I know who holds my future,'" Tebow told the FOX 10. "And that it gives you peace to just continue to work and go after what your heart desires; and when you do that, you don't have any regrets. And I think that's the best way to live life."

Dengue keeps advancing in Latam despite efforts to contain the disease
Dengue continues to claim lives in Latin America with over 400 deaths and nearly 161.000 infection cases according to this year's reports from the different countries.
The disease which is endemic in parts of tropical Latinamerica is caused by a virus transmitted by the mosquito Aedes Aegypti and its symptoms are high fever, headache, vomiting and skin rashes. A more dangerous manifestation is the hemorrhagic strain which has a high mortality rate.
In 2010 the mosquito transmitted disease infected 1.5 million people and caused 1.020 deaths in Latam according to official reports.
So far this year dengue has killed 69 people in Paraguay out of 29.277 confirmed cases, with a mortality rate of 0.21%, but according to Health Minister Antonio Arbo the real contagion may range between 150.000 and 200.000 cases.
These numbers exceed those of 2011 when there were 62 deaths and 42.264 infections were reported. However the disturbing fact for Paraguay is that the disease had no fatal cases reported until 2007 (17 deaths and 9.040 infections) and since then has been expanding.
Although dengue is endemic in certain regions of Brazil, so far this year there has been a 49% reduction in fatal cases: 247 compared to 481 in the same period of 2011, according to an epidemiological report released this week by the Ministry of Health. The Ministry attributes the improved situation to the measures taken to assist the infected with a faster diagnosis and treatment.
According to the latest official health reports from the Dominican Republic, the country recorded 6.838 cases including 114 deaths with a death rate of 0.5%.
The dengue outbreak in Peru, which is present in 15 regions, has caused so far the death of 32 people and infected 21.445 according to a report from the Ministry of Health. As part of its mass media dengue awareness campaign, the Peruvian government declared a 60 days state of emergency in three provinces, fumigated 68.233 homes and implemented a plan with quick medical support for areas where outbreaks of the disease occur.
In Ecuador, where in early 2012 there was a very serious outbreak with 21 deaths and 14.000 infected cases according to the country's Ministry of Health.
Bolivia has reported 56 cases in recent weeks most of them in counties bordering Brazil with no deaths, said Health minister Victor Maturano. However, the minister said that prevention measures remain in place, in anticipation of the rainy season, including rapid action groups in those areas of the country where the disease is endemic.
A dengue epidemic was declared in Puerto Rico last October and has claimed six deaths so far in 2012 as reported by the Department of Health.
Venezuela reported 40.635 cases of dengue, of which 1.511 hemorrhagic, according to the latest figures released by the Ministry of Health.
In Central America, Honduras reported two deaths and 15.000 infection cases. El Salvador claims five deaths and 12.124 confirmed cases of dengue until November 21 and Panama reports 899 cases and 5 of the fatal hemorrhagic strain. Costa Rica posted no deaths this year although dengue cases so far this year total 16.258, and increase of 36% over 2011. Guatemala and Nicaragua have not specified public information besides the fact that there have been "no dengue related deaths".
Chile has no reported cased of dengue since the vector mosquito is not present in the country but nevertheless the country has a network of traps for insects and larvae in strategic places to keep control of a possible outbreak of the disease.
Uruguay is free of dengue, less than a dozen cases reported in recent years are exogenous meaning the persons were infected overseas.
Argentina so far this year has not reported any dengue cases although the disease is endemic in certain areas of the tropical north.

The dense growth habit, 1-inch-long thorns and ability to tolerate a range of growing conditions makes the osage orange (Maclura pomifera) a natural choice for a living hedge. Osage orange grows 36 inches in a single growing season and can get 10 feet tall in five years. Suckers sprout from the base of the trunk, creating an impenetrable hedge. Native to Arkansas, Texas, Louisiana and Oklahoma, this plant was commonly used for fencing in the early to mid-1800s. Osage orange grows in U.S.Department of Agriculture plant hardiness zones 5a through 9a.
Space osage orange seedlings 1 foot apart in an row to create a dense hedge.
Plant osage orange in full sun, part sun or part shade. Plant in fall, winter or early spring in mild Mediterranean climates.
Grow this hardy shrub in loamy soil, sandy conditions or even heavy clay. Osage orange tolerates urban pollution and can be planted along roadways.
Water once a week for the first year. In the wet season, water only during periods of light rain when the soil dries out.
Water established osage orange hedges only during extreme drought conditions.
Prune in mid- to late spring after the first flush of growth has occurred. Cut back growth on the top and sides to create the desired shape and size. Perform the first pruning the third year after planting; then prune every year.
Things You Will Need
- Shovel
- Pruning shears
- To cut back on litter around the hedge site, plant only male osage plants. The female plants have 4- to 6-inch-round fruits. Because of the reduced litter problem, the desired male plants can be difficult to find.
- Hedge heights are commonly 4 to 6 feet tall, but osage hedges can be grown taller if desired. Unpruned, osage orange grows up to 40 feet tall.
- Osage orange plants do not require fertilizer.
- An alternate common name is hedge-apple.
