Steve, you have me scracting my head and thinking more now going back to what i was trying to ssy but have hard time finding proper way. So DNA can change ? I go back now to wonder say a Mission fig if could be traced to be from its roots oversea's and then another growing here that was brought here and can be said for absolute what would the DNA markers say there realted close or maybe exact match? I go back and copy and paste what i said about this as if i try to type it again it might mean something different so .... i tend to lean this way-- DNA may say 2 types are very close and related but not the same, could tree have evolved elsewhere and somehow change to that climate making some markers not exactly alike as if grown i different area's same tree accimilated to the soil and therfore fruit color and leaf color are different-Example as its often heard here that 2 same types grown in different area's have a different leave or slightly different fruit color or even shape. I will be able to see if this is true along with others here as have sent 1 particular tree across country and up as far as Canada, so maybe in 3 or 4 years they can be compared to 1 another, a DNA test of that tree and mine i wonder what would show up in say 50 years from now if both trees survived just a thought that i wll never know answer too. END So i truly wonder if we are now seeing this in the fig world where tree's are very close match as UCDavis studies have found in some types, there was a discussion about how Dark Portuguese and i believe but could be wrong as its been a while since i read that post and Sals were very close i think it was Sals but not sure which. Perhaps this is slowloy happening or maybe just hogwash on my part of thinking? Martin

If the traps work for you, that is great but people should know that they stink before they buy. I have a well. The pump uses electricity. Buckets of water work to flush the toilet in summer outages. My fly trap was knock you over stinky and you could smell it for a distance. If I lived in town I wouldn't use one. Don't put them down low because my dog chewed a hole in the first one I got (nothing new) but the stink was attractive to him. I got them for flies that were in the barn. I think you should catch one of your flies and have it identified. Some of the flies in my garden are Trachinid. They looked like house flies to me before I saw one biting a big hornworm. I am not sure the good flies would be attracted to the stinky trap because some of the good ones like nectar. Here is a link that might be useful: flies

Older CD players in cars don't play the MP3 format. Check your owners manual for your car.

How are you burning the tracks to CD? Are they still in MP3 format (i.e. a data disk that your car is supposed to read) or do you create a real audio CD? I suspect it is the former based on your description. If it is the former, you may need to do more research into the capabilities of your car player and the precise format of the files you are trying to play. For example, some car players can play MP3s of specific bit rates only (i.e. 128kps or less). If you try playing a higher bit rate, the player just chokes.
