Boston Market Plastic UpdateCategory: food
Boston Market finally switched from plastic silverware and massive throw away plastic containers to real silverware and plates for dine in customers. I am happy about this change I used to not go very often because of it (e:paul,43253)

Gypsy Moths in the City of Buffalo?Category: buffalo
This property on summer street between deleware and elmwood has gypsy moths in their front yard. I can't believe they, or their neighbors haven't gotten rid of them. I am think about killing them myself. The thought of gypsy moths infesting the city freaks meeting out. Is there someone to call about this?

also, we used to have gypsy moth tents in one tree in my parents house. They were about that big and I always freaked out about them but they never really hurt the tree much at all. They eventually stopped coming back.

I think you may be confusing the Cooperative Extension with the ILR: you see the ILR is Industrial Labor Relations, a different part of the university from the Co-Op extension. Maybe try contacting the East Aurora office instead.

I wrote to them, here it is: I found what I think was a gypsy moth nest on summer street between Delaware and Elmwood. I am especially concerned about this as I live and have a large garden only a few block away on Linwood and North.
Have you seen other cases of them in the city? Not sure what should be done.
The tree is on the front lawn directly to the left of the large glass and titor house on the south side of the street. I posted a picture of the nest here.
:::link:::
I would be happy to direct someone to the location if required. If you are the wrong person, do you know who to contact?

You know I am always surprised that you notice these things.. I think I must be walking with my eyes closed because I go by that block a million times and have never noticed it. Same with the maple tree blight. After you pointed it out, all I see is blight and moths everywhere. '
In fact I think this office might also be able to answer the maple tree blight question..

Can you send them an email with your pic and the exact address? They have to take this sort of infestation seriously.

The USDA website has some detailed information on these moths. Apparently they are one of the most highly studied species in N.America. :::link::: and :::link:::
From their site:
"Over the last 20 years, several millions of acres of forest land have been aerially sprayed with pesticides in order to suppress outbreak gypsy moth populations. Though some areas are treated by private companies under contract with land owners, most areas are sprayed under joint programs of state governments and the USDA Forest Service. Your local extension service can provide more detailed information about programs in your area."
I followed that link to :::link::: the Cooperative Extension System Offices of USDA which lead me to Cornell University Cooperative Extension :::link::: which lead me to Erie County Cooperative Extension: :::link:::

What is broasted chicken?Category: food
uncutsaniflush - 07/31/11 20:54
It's chicken made by using equipment from the Broaster Company. If memory serves, it's some sort of combination of deep frying and pressure cooking with spices . I had some when I lived in Tennessee, it was quite yummy.

I have never been there heard it is a bit costly but not as costly as like a fancy place......
They should have gone with black china. It makes the colour pop.
I had no idea you were going to boston. Well... I hope it doesn't rain.
