Oh no! I visited your post last night and thought about the Sri Lanka Beetle that has caused significant leaf damage on some of my ornamentals, but I don't have a Loquat or a HKO. Our county extension agent recommended Sevin but said to change pesticides on your next attack because Sri Lanka Beetles quickly grow immune to whatever you spray on them. I called a lawn service to spray because there was no way I could get to the tops of Tibouchinas or Powder Puff. A week later, I'm spotting those critters down low, like on african iris. This year I've squished hundreds of them. Oh, and they're mating now. Thanks for posting the link, Oldflorida. Good luck with your Orchid Tree and Loquat. You stated before that you have a pesticide free yard: that is really great, so I know this has to be heart wrenching for you. Good luck.

you don't have to do anything to make it work once you have it added to your browser, to see it in action go to google and do a search for anything, next to each line that comes up in the search you will see the circles green is safe, yellow is cautionary and red is stay away. If you click on a red site wot will block it and you will see the large wot warning on that warning there is a clickable line that will take you to the info about that site and you can see why it has been rated the way it has. many times there are user comments also which I really like. I have had mine a long time I did not get the offer for the bing bar back then, apparently however it sounds as though you can get rid of it. Usually you can find it in add remove and remove bing there also. I see my wot circles on every page I go to including this one up at the top of my browser bar. Since I use firefox I have moved mine around to exactly where I want it. If you click on the circle at any time it gives you the info.

Thanks! We just went for a ride and walk on the beach. We had severe storms here last night as Cindy hit us here. It scrubbed the beach clean.

For those here that are bothered by the methodology the police used, what about it is of concern? As I said earlier I almost reflexively look for ways that new technologies can be intrusive and infringe on privacy or rights. Even before the early days of of the Internet, I read the newsgroup comp.risks, and learned to look more deeply and carefully at the new risks of new technologies, not just the shiny new whiz-bang features. For example I don't do Facebook or even have a smartphone. I browse with ads, and cookies, and most scripts disabled, I might be considered by some only a few steps away from being a tin-foil-hat-wearing wild-eyed conspiracy theorist, but I don't see the risks in the police using DNA data to identify a perpetrator. It wouldn't aid unscrupulous cops trying to frame someone, in that case they already know who they are trying to frame, and the database can't "print out" DNA samples for them to plant. I am wary of DNA databases, and have no plans to submit a sample but for the reasons of health insurers eventually using the info to deny coverage proactively for someone with a genetic disposition for some expensive to treat condition.
