I would do the FEEDING spraying the day before the others, since the others rely on getting complete coverage or coating the leaves. The feeding will be absorbed into the leaves better if they aren't "coated" with other protectants.

February 25, 2010 2:36 PM CST Appliance Cash for Clunkers set for March debut by Bob Geiger Staff Writer And you thought Cash for Clunkers was dead. Come March 1, a home appliance version of the stimulus program that provided cash to car-buyers trading in their old models is scheduled to start. Designed to save consumers money for buying energy-efficient clothes washers, dishwashers, freezers and refrigerators, nearly $5 million in federal stimulus funding is designed to help Minnesota households save up to $200 for replacing their aging appliance with a qualifying Energy Star model. The Minnesota Trade-in & Save Appliance Rebate Program, operated through the Minnesota Department of CommerceÂs Office of Energy Security (OES), could enable up to 25,000 Minnesota households buy Energy Star appliances. Warners Stellian on Wednesday held a media event with OES and Waste Management Inc. officials to publicize the program. Just like Cash for Clunkers, residents are encouraged to decommission appliances that consume more energy. Eligible appliance and rebate amounts are clothes washers, $200; dishwashers, $150; refrigerators (minimum of 7.75 cubic feet priced over $300), $100 to $200; and freezers, $50 or $100. Advertisement Warners Stellian is not the only OES partner involved in the program. Other utilities or retailers partnering for the energy-efficient appliance replacement effort are Sears Holdings Corp., Best Buy Co. Inc., Whirlpool Corp., BSH Home Appliances, Great River Energy and Minnesota Power. Here is a link that might be useful: Finance & Commerce

Do any of you know about computer programs for designing and printing clothing patterns? I have found a few but they obviously are geared more toward industrial production. I want something for home use. I read about FashionCAD but it lists for $1,200. I realize that CAD programs will cost me but not THAT much. Can anyone steer me towards something that is less expensive?

I ran the System Restore and was thrilled when the Webshots Desktop photo I had before popped up after the Restart. However, when I tried to get online, Firefox kept saying Server Not Found for every site I tried to open. Then I noticed that the Activity light on my modem (I have DSL) wasn't blinking. I unplugged it and waited a few seconds and plugged it back up. After a few minutes, I was able to get online with no problem. Now, all that's left is to reinstall the updates I lost with the restoral. Mary, I didn't know about the Webshots change. I'll look into that. Thanks to everyone. Dee
