Myk has mentioned good luck using Malathion on maggot. However, it's generally rated poorly for internal leps. Esfenvalerate (i.e. Asana) will work fine on your leps but requires an applicator's license. Additionally, like any pyrethroid, it may cause mite outbreaks w/ repeated usage. Most commercial growers go w/ Imidan for internal leps and PC. Captan and Sulfur will fight scab, but SI fungicides are more powerful. Rally/Immunox or Rubigan are good choices to control both scab and CAR. Captan and sulfur have no effect on cedar/apple rust. Additionally sulfur washes off very easily and requires more applications than an appropriate synthetic. In terms of references for effectiveness of products, your best bet is to review spray guides. Universities test these products against one another so it takes out some of the guesswork. You can download a copy of the Midwest Spray guide here: http://www.extension.iastate.edu/publications/pm1282.pdf Cornell has a good spray guide as well. Here is a link to the activity spectrum of various insecticides: http://ipmguidelines.org/TreeFruits/content/CH07/default-1.asp Below is a link to their full Pest Management Guide.

2nd half of original post: General- high enough brix and reasonably large: Patul (also called Batul), 16.4 brix, 100-150g- a late-ripening dessert apple from the early 1800's in Transylvania. In Romanian, it translates to "bottom of haystack", which was where they were stored until spring (good until March/April). It used to be a significant eastern European cultivar in the 50's and seems to have at least moderate resistance to fireblight, scab, and powdery mildew. Finkenwerder Herbstprinz, 14.7 brix, 250-300g-old German variety which has fallen out of favor. It is supposed to be at it's best in April/May, at which point it has shriveled, but improved in flavor. I see some references to it being used for hard cider. One link implied that it has good disease resistance. Reinette Tres Tardive, 16.7 brix, 100-150g- a very late keeping (July) greenish, partially russeted apple. Oliver or Senator, 16, 100-150g- Tender crisp, juicy flesh. Most refreshing flavor. From another desc: Nice red apple from Northwestern Arkansas. The yellowish flesh is fine-grained and juicy and often stained with red. Ripens October to November and is an excellent keeper. Healthy, vigorous, and productive per Lee Calhoun. Gales, 17.6, 100-150g- productive, mid-season, red, good quality. Came from Milo Gibson, so there must be something interesting here... Lord Hindlip, 16.1 brix, 150-200g- very late, very long keeping, balanced and aromatic. Scab resistant. Cornish Aromatic (Wakeley), 16.1, 100-150g- Firm, slightly dry. Very scab resistant and a good keeper (until spring). Shamrock, 18 brix, 150-200g- Green like Granny Smith. Sweet and soft. I didn't find anything on disease resistance, but given that it's parents are Gold Delicious and McIntosh, it can't be great. Reinette de Cuzy, 16.6, 100-150g- Still sold in France today. Seems to be a late keeper and most descriptions call it perfumed or fragrant. KAZ 96 08-17, 16.6 brix, 100-150g- No info other than the stats (semi-firm, sweet, non-oxidizing, etc) and that it is an open pollinated seedling of a collected apple which was aromatic and sweet, Free of disease. Heavy codling moth, nice apple. PRI 672-1, 17.9 brix, >400g(but it says under 2.5"?)- Lots of Golden Delicious in its background. Scab resistant, very crisp, slightly spicy, very full-flavored, juicy to very juicy; very attractive. Good fruit flesh texture and flavor. PRI 1293-3, 17 brix, >400g- Scab resistance from Russian 12740-7A. very crisp, very juicy, very attractive. Jonathan and some Red Delicious in background. Lord Lambourne, 14.5 brix, 150-200g- standard British variety. Supposed to be a pretty good, balanced flavor. Grown by Stephen Hayes. Others of interest (not necessarily from GRIN): Carter Blue My Jewel Vanilla Pippin Abbondanza King David Jefferis Discovery Blenheim Orange-Interestingly, I found 2 sources which say it is scab resistant and 2 which say it is very susceptible. All 4 appear to be different sources, not just copy-pastes of each other.

Jali, when I emptied my rain gauge on Wednesday it had 1.4” in it. When I emptied it yesterday morning it had another 2.4” in it! Flood of '65, indeed! I emailed Barb last nite to let her know I had arrived safely—tense, but safe—and I mentioned the Flood of '65 to her! She's not old enough to remember it, but I am! It rained, like this time, for a week or whatever and everything was saturated—and then, like you said, it DUMPED and that was all they wrote! All the bridges in/out of Denver on the west side of town but ONE washed out, including one that was just a couple years old and had been built for a “500-year flood!” I have pics of a span of that bridge laying in the middle of the Platte! Huge sections of I-25 and the train tracks between Denver and the Springs washed out! I still have the newspapers from right after it with all the pics! But I hadn't stopped to think that this was the 50th anniversary of it!!! Cherry Creek Dam was still new back then, and there was near panic on the news that it was going to break—they were releasing water as fast as they could. I lived in an apartment about a half a block from Speer and we were listening to the radio so we'd know when to RUN—and then the power went out! I'm still here—so, no, it didn't break! And 25th anniversary of the Limon tornado! Wow! Some years to remember! Guess you remember that one well! What I remember was I was watching TV weather and all of a sudden the radar went down! Switched channels, and no radar! Switched again—nobody had radar anymore! That's when we knew it was “serious!” If the Limon radar was wiped out—what else in Limon was wiped out! Wasn't long and the channels were picking radar up from the airport, and that's when most of them switched to doppler! Memories! I've been watching Denver radar today, and the forecast, and at least it looks like this is about the end of it for right now, so, hopefully, no repeat of '65! Thinking of you all down in the lowlands--make that WETlands--right now, Skybird

Safari 5.1? That would have been released in roughly 2011. Snow Leopard would have been about right but frankly I'm not sure that Safari 5.1 came with Snow Leopard nor do I know if you can update to a specific release of Safari (other than the latest/greatest that's compatible with that version of OS X). Might be something to inquire about first. The upgrade should be pretty easy and straight forward, I don't recall any problems when I went from Leopard to Snow Leopard. Apple ID would likely be whatever he uses to log into iTunes. User name in the form of an email address and a password. If he doesn't have one, he could create one. I think it's mostly for iTunes access and not necessarily essential for the operating system to run. Frankly Safari seems like a very odd choice for a supported browser. At version 5 it was a pretty lousy browser even compared to Internet Explorer at the time. There isn't a current Windows version and I'm not sure that Apple even provides older versions for Windows. So if you buy a new Windows machine, you can't use the court's computer system? Are we sure we're understanding this correctly? I've seen some companies that will only support a certain browser or require at least a certain version to keep down the cost of site development and technical support/training. That doesn't mean other browsers won't work but if you have problem you won't get any technical support.
