Didnt get much help from my ilepa neighbor. Pesticides are not his speciality. He refered me to the local extension office. Its funny they can aerial spray imidan 50ft from your house, but you cant spray the tree in your back yard? Gowan didnt renew the license for private use, that is why you dont see imidan 12.5 wp at home depot or walmart. Maybe the sales were not profitable enough, maybe liabilty to high-who knows. It was not an epa ruling. There is nothing in the Epa's "final" guidlines to suggest you cant use in residential areas. The closest they come is 25'boundry from a house. I believe the "not for residential areas" is a gowan "cover my arse" much like how McDonald's puts "contents hot!may scald skin dont pour on lap and sue us for 5 million dollars 'cause now we told ya" It would not be illegal to pour on lap, but you cant sue because you were warned. That is why you see the 2 different wordings. 1)"Not for use in residential areas" is a warning, spray on a tree in your backyard and a dog or kid gets sick dont blame gowan. 2) "Use in park or recreational areas is prohibited" there are laws on the books and you will be bubbys little jail "friend" if you get caught. If this is not the case then why didnt gowan just say "use in residential areas and Use in park or recreational areas is prohibited" (that would make it very clear) really I think i would rather spray something with a long track record then some of the newer stuff that they know nothing about. Maybe my logic is wrong.

Probably too late to post this info now but.... I have been playing around with inflation blowers and my extensive research has shown that a shop-vac, although spectacular to watch in action is way too big!!! On the other end of the scale a small 12v PC fan inflates the poly but cannot provide enough pressure to inflate it tight enough. However, because I was bored I hooked up an old one of these things I found. http://www.performance-pcs.com/catalog/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=145&products_id=1150 It is slow to inflate but once the poly is inflated it maintains a decent pressure. It draws 0.15 amps at 12v. I have it experementally hooked up to a 17Ah battery so in theory (yeah numbers again!!) If I let the battery go down to 50% capacity it should run for 57 hours. Hook it up to a truck battery and it should run a month. If anyone is interested I have pictures but at the moment I can't FTP. Here is a link that might be useful: The blower I have.

????????????????What?

"Doing those will require that I learn more." Truthfully, I had never tried downloading captions from Youtube until you mentioned it so... I learned a little too, which is a good thing, I think. Also, I probably didn't follow your method precisely in that I did not use Freemake Video Downloader to get the video from Youtube. I used one of the several Youtube video downloader add-ons to get the video sitting on my desktop in front of me to work with. I then used the Greasemonkey script to download the ".srt"(subtitles) file to my desktop beside the video. Then I used Freemake Video Convertor to open the video, add the subtitles file, and finally to convert to DVD. Using that method I have subtitles hard-coded into the resulting DVD files. Using that method worked for me. Honestly, I've never used the Freemake downloader but I assume it should work the same. BTW, if you installed the Grease Monkey add-on and then(after installing GM) installed(by clicking the green "Install" button in the upper right corner) the captions download script, the little Grease Monkey icon should go from grayed out to active(?) when you go to the video page you linked above. If it does, you should automatically have the subtitle download buttons since that's what the script is for. Good luck. Edit: Just for fun, here are the captions in "timed-text" format, not that they would do you any good without converting them to "srt" but still, it's interesting. http://video.google.com/timedtext?lang=en&v=c2aF6-RXs0Y. Notice the "v=video_id" part on the end. I assume you could use that as a template to get timed-text for any Youtube video having captions. Just guessing though. I got that from the source of the Greasemonkey script.
