Love this song. Still sounds great a decade after it's release. "I belong to you" Lenny Kravitz http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ox646eqw_JQ

Good point. Yesterday on Tuesday 4/26/11 it was 80 degrees even here in ski country lol. So Are they a problem in South NJ 553?

yup. Just another media outlet overblowing a story. Biggest fear is that the price of fruits and veggies might be going on though. Just give insect sprays and I am good to go.:eek:

Stink Bugs To Cause Havoc To Hudson Valley Fruit Crops Insects At This Point Unstoppable And Expected To Be Handful Reported by Katie Fehilnger CBS2 News New York April 25, 2011 YORKTOWN HEIGHTS, N.Y — "A household pest is rearing it’s smelly head. It first turned up in Pennsylvania back in the 1990s and has continued to spread into the Tri-State Area. Now it’s threatening fresh fruit crops in our area, reports CBS 2’s Katie Fehlinger. They’re creepy. They’re crawly. And when you crush them, they’re stinky. “Something akin to wet leaves. Some people find it really offensive,” said Jerry Giordano, community education at the Cornell University Cooperative Extension. Make no mistake, the stink bugs are back. Residential infestations which plagued parts of New Jersey in recent years have already begun to encroach north. But expect more than just a home invasion this time around. “The biggest problem is gonna be on fruit,” Giordano said. Horticulturists say peaches, tomatoes, apples and more could all suffer damage from the brown marmorated stink bug this growing season, particularly in the Hudson Valley. Randy Pratt, who operates a fruit farm in Yorktown Heights, N.Y., has dealt with the pests before. “It uses its mouthparts and sucks the juice out, and then what happens is you get what’s called a dry or a corky spot,” Pratt said. Although he has yet to see any stink bugs on his property, Pratt said he’s on the lookout. “For me it affects my entire business because people come here to pick apples. And if your crop isn’t out there for them to pick there’s really no reason, really, for them to come here,” Pratt said. Apple trees like the Ida red won’t even be ready for picking until early fall — right around the time the infestation’s expected to occur. So, Pratt said all he can do is wait and see. “There’s nothing we can do ahead of time to stop it. If it’s coming, we just have to take care of it when it gets here,” he said. Since this particular pest feeds on lots of different plant types, they’re tough to get rid of and there’s no way sure-fire way to control them. “You basically vacuum them up or collect them in a way without crushing them,” Giordano said. So far, more than 30 stink bug reports and samples have come in from the Hudson Valley. Experts say, for now, there’s no need to panic, but expect a stinky situation in the months ahead. Now that the weather’s warming up, don’t be surprised if you notice more stink bugs since they’re emerging from their winter hiding places. Since the bugs turned up in the U.S., they’ve been found in 32 states. " http://newyork.cbslocal.com/2011/04/25/stink-bugs-to-cause-havoc-to-hudson-valley-fruit-crops/

For ancient old people like me this is what I am listening to. An classic from the disco era. If you never heard before kiddies, get ready to dance. "Relight My Fire" Dan Hartman

Listening to this Hip Hop Classic. Man what ever happened to talking the world around us without cursing or using racial/sexual slangs in every other lyric? "Friends"

Wow someone who actually like 'old people's woops lol i mean 'old school jams' a good choice indeed. #1 hit from 1980 of the oringal hit film.:tup:

Saw this band 'live' in the summer of 2000 at a "celebrate brooklyn' concert. here the oringal version that Heavy D and the Boyz remade an international pop/hip-hop/dance hit in the early 1990's.

Happy Birthday today 3/27/11 to MY Mom. Here is one of her favorite bands of all time the Beatles and "Hey Jude." http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GEKgYKpEJ3o

In memory of My 'late' Dad who I dreamed of last night. This is a song he really liked. RIP Dad.:cry: 'New Kid in Town' The Eagles featuring Glen Frey.

As Forest Glen would say 'incorrect.' :eek: Actually Joe there are tons of talented great singers/musicans out there in today's music. Problem is the industry of top notch 'pop music' is filled with "Talentless Hacks" "Underserved Fame" "Spoon-Fed Consumers." It goes back to the mega mergers of the record companies, radio/tv stations and movie studios starting in the mid-90's. Unless you look like Rhinna, Beyonce, Katy Perry, etc. or acts like a slut like Lady Gaga the door is basically shut for others who are talented. A smaller legendary record label such as Motown in today's industry would never make it. Just go to shows like "Celebrate Brooklyn" where there tons of talented singers who for whatever the reasons can't break in the biz. That a better spent use of your 'entertainment dollars' IMO.

'Hey lets go to the videotape.' Former legendary sports anchor with ABC and CBS Warner Wolf would say.

Here a classic from one of the great musicians of the 20th century and maybe of all time. Music Video is a collection of this guy's home movies. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V-_NMAllsJc

Oh yes.Sadly since this is a 1970's Disco/Pop Hit classic this is the only music video I can find. Its from the flop 'disco' movie the Stud a "Saturday Night Fever' wannabe released in 1976/77 and a huge bomb at the box office. My living sister Jennifer loved this and played it to death when I was a little boy. Younger people may know it more recently in the 'Sex in the City' TV/Movie Soundtrack though.

And kiddies the last one for the weekend from me. The 1st video ever played on MTV when it was a music channel in August 1981. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hiJ9AnNz47Y

Speaking of Grandmaster Flash here another all time classic. Great beat. What amazing is the lyrics are still relevent in 2011. Hey Charlie Sheen could get a tip from this to try to save his life. "White Lies"
