Hi ArtVegas,
I will try to better explain my question. I have a drawing with layout named SEQ001, SEQ002, SEQ003, SEQ004, ... I develop a palette with some buttons. On that palette I have a button to add a new layout. If the user add a layout number 3, I actually rename layout SEQ004 to SEQ005, SEQ003 to SEQ004 and insert a new layout named SEQ003. On the same palette I have another button to delete a layout. The current layout is delete and the subsequent layout are rename. Ex. suppressing SEQ003, SEQ004 is rename to SEQ003 and SEQ005 rename to SEQ004. Hera you will find the sub to rename sequences:
Private Sub RenameSequence(ByVal SequenceNo As String, Optional ByVal Decrement As Boolean = False)
Dim n As Integer = 0
Dim i As Integer = 0
Dim objSequence As PlanGeneration.RinsePath.Sequence = Nothing
Dim strNewLayoutName As String = ""
n = m_Sequences.SequenceList.Count ' m_sequences is a member variable containing information about layout
If Decrement = False Then
For i = n - 1 To 0 Step -1
objSequence = m_Sequences.SequenceList(i)
strNewLayoutName = "SEQ" & String.Format("{0:d3}", (CInt(objSequence.SeqNo.Substring(3)) + 1))
RenameLayout(objSequence.SeqNo, strNewLayoutName)
'I also rename some layers
RenameLayer(objSequence.SeqNo & "-BORNE", strNewLayoutName & "-BORNE")
RenameLayer(objSequence.SeqNo & "-ROUTE", strNewLayoutName & "-ROUTE")
RenameLayer(objSequence.SeqNo & "-VANNE_OUVERTE", strNewLayoutName & "-VANNE_OUVERTE")
RenameLayer(objSequence.SeqNo & "-VANNE_FERMEE", strNewLayoutName & "-VANNE_FERMEE")
If objSequence.SeqNo.ToUpper = SequenceNo.ToUpper Then
Exit For
End If
Next i
Dim j As Integer = GetSequenceOrder(SequenceNo)
For i = j To n - 1
objSequence = m_Sequences.SequenceList(i)
strNewLayoutName = "SEQ" & String.Format("{0:d3}", (CInt(objSequence.SeqNo.Substring(3)) - 1))
RenameLayout(objSequence.SeqNo, strNewLayoutName)
'I also rename some layers
RenameLayer(objSequence.SeqNo & "-BORNE", strNewLayoutName & "-BORNE")
RenameLayer(objSequence.SeqNo & "-ROUTE", strNewLayoutName & "-ROUTE")
RenameLayer(objSequence.SeqNo & "-VANNE_OUVERTE", strNewLayoutName & "-VANNE_OUVERTE")
RenameLayer(objSequence.SeqNo & "-VANNE_FERMEE", strNewLayoutName & "-VANNE_FERMEE")
objSequence.SeqNo = strNewLayoutName
End If
End Sub
'Now the function to rename layout
Private Function RenameLayout(ByVal oldLayoutName As String, ByVal NewLayoutName As String) As Boolean
Dim bReturnValue As Boolean = True
Dim oLayoutIDToRename As ObjectId = Nothing
Dim ed As Editor = Autodesk.AutoCAD.ApplicationServices.Application.D
Dim Db As Database = ed.Document.Database()
Dim acDoc As Document = Autodesk.AutoCAD.ApplicationServices.Application.D
oLayoutIDToRename = GetLayoutByName(oldLayoutName)
Using doclock As DocumentLock = acDoc.LockDocument
Using tm1 As Transaction = Db.TransactionManager.StartTransaction()
Dim oLayoutToRename As Layout = tm1.GetObject(oLayoutIDToRename, OpenMode.ForWrite)
oLayoutToRename.LayoutName = NewLayoutName
oLayoutToRename = Nothing
End Using
End Using
Catch ex As Exception
ed.WriteMessage("\nImpossible de renommer la présentation " & oldLayoutName & " à " & NewLayoutName & ": " & ex.Message)
bReturnValue = False
End Try
Return bReturnValue
End Function
When I use the button all is working well. But if the user delete manually the layout I want to use an event and rename the sequence too.
First I used this event:
<CommandMethod("AddLayoutToBeRemoved")> _
Public Sub AddLayoutToBeRemoved()
AddHandler LayoutManager.Current.LayoutToBeRemoved, _
AddressOf onLayoutToBeRemoved
End Sub
Private Sub onLayoutToBeRemoved(ByVal senderObj As Object, _
ByVal docLayoutEvtArgs As Autodesk.AutoCAD.DatabaseServices.LayoutEventArgs)
Dim strNextLayoutName As String = ""
Dim bRenameLayout As Boolean = False
If docLayoutEvtArgs.Name.ToUpper.StartsWith("SEQ") Then
If GetLayoutList.Count > 1 Then
'If m_CurrentSequencePosition < m_Sequences.SequenceList.Count - 1 Then
' strNextLayoutName = m_Sequences.SequenceList(m_CurrentSequencePosition + 1).SeqNo
' bRenameLayout = True
'End If
'Delete layers associated
If DeleteLayer(m_Sequences.SequenceList(m_CurrentSequ
If DeleteLayer(m_Sequences.SequenceList(m_CurrentSequ
If DeleteLayer(m_Sequences.SequenceList(m_CurrentSequ
If DeleteLayer(m_Sequences.SequenceList(m_CurrentSequ
If m_CurrentSequencePosition > m_Sequences.SequenceList.Count - 1 Then
m_CurrentSequencePosition = m_Sequences.SequenceList.Count - 1
End If
If m_CurrentSequencePosition < 0 Then
End If
'If bRenameLayout = True Then
' RenameSequence(strNextLayoutName, True)
' SetCurrentLayoutTab(m_Sequences.SequenceList(m_Cur
'End If
End If
End If
End Sub
I realized this event occur before the layout is really deleted, so I understand why renaming my sequence doesn't work. I put some code in comments because it doesn't work. So I found this other event:
<CommandMethod("AddLayoutRemoved")> _
Public Sub AddLayoutRemoved()
AddHandler LayoutManager.Current.LayoutRemoved, _
AddressOf onLayoutRemoved
End Sub
Private Sub onLayoutRemoved(ByVal senderObj As Object, _
ByVal docLayoutEvtArgs As Autodesk.AutoCAD.DatabaseServices.LayoutEventArgs)
Dim strNextLayoutName As String = ""
If docLayoutEvtArgs.Name.ToUpper.StartsWith("SEQ") Then
If GetLayoutList.Count > 1 Then
If m_CurrentSequencePosition < m_Sequences.SequenceList.Count - 1 Then
strNextLayoutName = m_Sequences.SequenceList(m_CurrentSequencePosition
RenameSequence(strNextLayoutName, True)
End If
End If
End If
End Sub
But I have the same error. When this event occurs the layout does't seem to be deleted too. So I don't know which event to use.
So actually, my user must absolutely use the delete layout button. If not, the sequence will be interrupt. If I don't find a solution, I will add another button to correct the sequence but it is not the way I preferred.
Thank you very much for your help.
Hi Andre,
I noticed that your RenameSequence() function's "for-loop" seems to rename layouts from the largest number to the smallest (i.e. SEQ005 first, then SEQ004, then SEQ003, etc).
Lets say your user deletes SEQ003. Then the first thing your code appears to do is try to rename SEQ005 to SEQ004, but you can't because SEQ004 already exists. Perhaps this is the problem?
What you should do is get the number of the layout that is removed (say SEQ003), next rename SEQ004 to SEQ003, then rename SEQ005 to SEQ004, then SEQ006 to SEQ005, etc.
It's different when you add a layout. Say you're going to add a layout which will become SEQ003. In that case you should start at the biggest number (as per your for-loop). Here you would rename SEQ005 to SEQ006, then SEQ004 to SEQ005, then SEQ003 to SEQ004 and then add the new SEQ003.
You get what I mean?
Hi Art,
In my RenameSequence I have an argument Decrement and I have two loops depending of the state of this argument. When I add a layout, Decrement is false, so I begin with the higher sequence number and add 1 to the name. If I delete a layout, Decrement is set to true. I delete the layout and the next sequence is lower by 1 and so on. This routine is working well when I used your function to explicitly delete the layout. But when I start this function from the LayoutRemoved or LayoutToBeRemoved event, it doesn'work because, I don't know why, the layout is not already deleted so when I try to rename SEQ004 to SEQ003 (the one I deleted manually using AutoCAD command) SEQ003 already exist.
The problem is with the event. Maybe it is a bug in AutoCAD API.
Thank you,
Sorry I didn't notice the decrement argument.
I created a simple test in C# for the LayoutRemoved event below. For simplicity this is based on layout names being numbers only, i.e. 001, 002, 003, 004, 005, etc.
This is not "well-coded" as it assumes that the order of the layouts in the layout-dictionary is sequential which may not always be the case, but this could easily be accounted for with a bit more work.
This worked for me when I tested it. So I don't think it's an AutoCAD bug. Could it be something else in your program?
// Command. [CommandMethod("RegisterLayoutRemoved")] static public void RegisterLayoutRemoved() { // Register layout removed event. LayoutManager.Current.LayoutRemoved += new LayoutEventHandler(Current_LayoutRemoved); } // Layout removed event handler. static void Current_LayoutRemoved(object sender, LayoutEventArgs e) { Document doc = Application.DocumentManager.MdiActiveDocument; Database db = doc.Database; Editor ed = doc.Editor; // Get removed layout number from layout name. int removedNum; if (!Int32.TryParse(e.Name, out removedNum)) { throw new System.Exception("Could not obtain layout number..."); } using (Transaction tr = db.TransactionManager.StartTransaction()) { // Iterate layout dictionary. DBDictionary layoutDict = (DBDictionary)tr.GetObject( db.LayoutDictionaryId, OpenMode.ForRead, true); foreach (DBDictionaryEntry item in layoutDict) { // Layout (for read). Layout layout = (Layout)tr.GetObject(item.Value, OpenMode.ForRead); // Try get layout number. int i; if (Int32.TryParse(layout.LayoutName, out i)) { // If layout number is greater than for layout removed. if (i > removedNum) { // Then decrement layout number. layout.UpgradeOpen(); layout.LayoutName = String.Format("{0:D3}", (i - 1)); } } } tr.Commit(); } }
Thank you very much Art,
I will try that and I will give you some feedback.
Have a good day,
Below is a partial of a routine that I use in VBA to remane layouts.
You should first remane the layouts, so you don't have have a conflict about remaning layout to existing layouts.
I first added temp to the layout name.
Then I use the TabOrder property of the layout to get the order of the layouts.
Now you can reanme the layout to a sequence of names based on the TabOrder of the layouts.
**************** vba routine not vb.net *****************************
For Each objLayout In objLayouts
lngCnt = lngCnt + 1
strLayoutName = objLayout.Name
If strLayoutName <> "Model" Then
lngTabOrder = objLayouts(objLayout.Name).TabOrder
lngTabOrder = lngTabOrder + (formRenumber.TxtBoxStartNumber.Value - 1)
objLayout.Name = "tempLayout" & lngTabOrder
End If
Call ProgUpdate(lngCnt)
Call ProgSetup(objLayouts.Count)
formProgRenumLay.Caption = " Re-Naming objLayouts "
lngCnt = 0
For Each objLayout In objLayouts
lngCnt = lngCnt + 1
strLayoutName = objLayout.Name
If strLayoutName <> "Model" Then
objLayout.Name = formRenumber.txtBoxLayName & _
CStr(Mid$(strLayoutName, 11, (Len(strLayoutName) - 10))) ' Rename and renumber objLayout
End If
There is a flaw with this code:
DBDictionary layoutDict = tr.GetObject(db.LayoutDictionaryId, OpenMode.ForRead) as DBDictionary;
// Iterate dictionary entries.
foreach (DBDictionaryEntry de in layoutDict)
string layoutName = de.Key;
if (layoutName != "Model")
LayoutManager.Current.DeleteLayout(layoutName); // Delete layout.
An item is being deleted from a list that is being interated. I fall into this trap over and over...
A list of names should be collected and iterated instead.
string[] layouts = GetLayoutNames();
foreach (string LayoutName in layouts)
if (LayoutName.ToUpper() != "MODEL" || LayoutName.ToUpper() != pstrLayoutToKeep.ToUpper())
I had been using the first code but results were unreliable, particularly when I attempt to rename Layout1 (which it thinks still exists).

Associations Focus: New Year's Resolutions
Jan 1, 2007 12:00 PM
InfoComm solidifies its leadership while CEDIA and NSCA discuss upcoming conferences for 2007.
InfoComm International
InfoComm International is organized with an elected board of volunteer governors and hired staff. Officer positions on the board are chairperson, president, president-elect, and secretary treasurer. There are five elected at-large members, and the other board members are chairs of either a council or membership committee of the association.
InfoComm International has nine councils organized by members to pursue common goals. In addition, the association has three committees that assist the board and staff in operations of its activities.
As of Jan. 1, 2007, Randy Pagnan, CTS, of Rp Visual Solutions is chairman of the board; Jay Armand, CTS, of Advanced AV is president; and Mark Valenti of the Sextant Group is president-elect. Jay Rogina of Spinitar is secretary-treasurer. Rashid Skaf of AMX and Mark Gander of Harman Pro were elected to two-year governor-at-large terms beginning in 2007. Michael Vergauwen, CTS, of AVI Midwest was re-elected to a second two-year term as a governor-at-large.
Several council chairs were also elected. Logan Enright of The Enright Company was re-elected chair of the Independent Reps Council; Tom Stimson, CTS, of The Stimson Group, was re-elected chair of the Rental and Staging Council; and Ernie Bailey, CTS, of University of Arkansas Medical Sciences, was elected chair of the Technology Managers Council.
Appointed to the board as chairs of the association's committees are: Blake Brubaker, CTS, of Da-Lite Screen Company for the Exhibitors Committee; Chad Gillenwater of SPL Integrated Solutions for the Membership Committee; and L. William Nattress III, CTS-D, CTS-I, of Shen Milsom & Wilke for the Professional Education and Training Committee (PETC).
Board members serving their second year of a two-year term include governors-at-large Jim Ford, PE, of Ford Audio Video and Mike White, CTS, of Multi-Media Solutions. For a more complete list of such members, visit infocomm.org.
"InfoComm has a robust agenda planned for 2007," says InfoComm Executive Director Randal A. Lemke, Ph.D. "With the Board of Governors' expertise and commitment to the association, we stand ready to launch new initiatives that will improve the quality of our industry, while remaining committed to further growing our tradeshow, education and certification, and providing unparalleled programs, networking opportunities, and support for our members."
InfoComm gratefully acknowledges the contributions of several members who are exiting from their leadership positions on the InfoComm Board of Governors, but who will remain strong supporters of the association and the AV industry. "Tom Peters, CTS, of Integrated Media Systems, will depart as chairman of the board of governors," Lemke says. "His steady leadership will be missed and his years of service are very much appreciated.
"In addition, Chris Miller, CTS, of Professional Systems Network, will be leaving his role as president, International Communications Industries Foundation (ICIF), and, as a result, will also depart from the board of governors. To my knowledge, Chris is the longest serving member of the board of governors in the history of our organization, and he has left an indelible imprint on the association we have become. His leadership has firmly cemented InfoComm as a leader in industry philanthropy and education."
Other members departing from the board of governors are Fred Bargetzi, Crestron Electronics; Merry McCleary, AVYVE; and John Pfleiderer, MA, CTS-D, Cornell University. Their dedicated service is deeply appreciated by the membership.

For thirty years, New Testament History by F. F. Bruce has been the standard evangelical work in its field. Now, Bruce's classic work has been supplemented by this important work from the pen of Paul Barnett, currently the Anglican bishop of North Syndey, Australia, and previously Master of Robert Menzies College, Macquarie University. In Jesus & the Rise of Early Christianity, Barnett expands and amplifies his previous book, Behind the Scenes of the New Testament (see review in TMSJ 5 [1994]:101-2). Barnett is also the author of the valuable NICNT volume on The Second Epistle to the Corinthians (Eerdmans, 1997) and Jesus & the Logic of History (Eerdmans, 1997) in the New Studies in Biblical Theology series.
Barnett has high praise for Bruce's "great" volume. He writes, "The strength of Bruce's history is the sheer quantity of historical detail that he amasses and that thereby establishes inferentially the historical character of Christianity and its rootedness in the soil of those times" (24). Bruce wrote his history as a historian, not as a theologian. His goal was to describe the history of the NT era from Jewish and Roman sources and then fit in the data found in the NT. In contrast, Barnett writes as a theologian and historian. He states, "I have attempted to grasp the meaning of the primary texts from the inside, as it were, with only selected reference to secondary literature" (10). His main purpose is to describe the theological truth of the NT as seen in its historical development enlightened by extra-biblical documentation. For Barnett, "A New Testament history . . . must be the story of Jesus and the unfolding story of his followers in the next generation after him" (17). The author states that his goals are to show that the Christ proclaimed by the apostles was one and the same as the Jesus of history and to demonstrate that the events recorded in the NT were nothing less than God fulfilling His promises made in the OT, particularly those made to David (10).
The first two chapters of the book lay the foundation for what follows. Chapter one, "The New Testament as History" (13-26), affirms the possibility of writing a NT history. "The historical context of the kerygma written in the Gospels and Acts and the rootedness in history of all of the literature of the New Testament make possible an attempt to retell the story of Jesus and the rise of his movement" (14). Further, Barnett lays out a chronology based upon biblical references correlated with extra-biblical data that is followed in the remainder of the book. In chapter two, "The Impact of Christ" (27-46), the Davidic ancestry of Jesus as the Messiah/Christ is shown as confirmed in Christian and non-Christian sources. The author concludes, "The earliness and the breadth of the witness to Jesus (the) Christ/the Son of God suggest that this idea did not derive from the early church but from Jesus himself" (44).
The main thrust of the work is to relate the story of Jesus and the rise of Christianity, which is narrated in chapters three through seventeen (47-375). Particularly valuable are the sections that describe the historical and theological context in which the events of the NT took place. The reader is given well-outlined, succinct summaries of information with bibliographic resources from which he can pursue further study. These chapters go over the same ground as Bruce's history utilizing Barnett's "inside" approach, which gives a more readable presentation, especially for the beginning NT student.
Chapter eighteen, "The Four Gospels" (376-99), has a good discussion of the historical nature, scriptural status, purposes, and dissemination of the written Gospels. Unfortunately, the author follows the four-source theory concerning Gospel origins, one of the sources being "Q," "a Greek written document" (379). Chapter nineteen, "The Kingdom of Christ" (400-414), gives an introduction to the book of Revelation. Though information on the historical background of the book is helpful, Barnett does not espouse a futurist perspective toward the book. Chapter twenty (415-22) is an epilogue summarizing the main points of the entire volume. A select bibliography (423-29), author index (431-32), subject index (433-36), and Scripture index (437-48) add to the usefulness of this book as a reference tool.
Jesus & the Rise of Early Christianity is a valuable resource for the student and expositor of the NT, especially when consulted together with Bruce's New Testament History.

Hmm…major audit at work in 2 weeks.
2 Days after the audit at work, I have an Orientation class for the range. It's fast approaching around 40 to 50 people planning on attending. And we've implemented a new system for identification badges. Which I haven't seen yet, haven't figured out how to get new members set up.
Rehearsal Dinner tonight.
My daughter's wedding tomorrow.
Another activity on Sunday.
It's difficult to remember that I don't need to stress out.
John 14:27
Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid.
"Therefore do not be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.
And my God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus.
What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?
Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God

Hersenen bestaan uit zenuwcellen en gliacellen. De astrocyt is een stervormige gliacel, en dit celtype is zeer belangrijk voor het functioneren van ons brein. Bovendien is er recent ontdekt dat sommige van deze astrocyten ook stamcellen zijn. Wij doen onderzoek aan de rol van astrocyten in Alzheimer, Parkinson en Aicardi-Goutieres syndroom. Daarnaast doen wij onderzoek aan de lichaamseigen neurale stamcellen in het volwassen brein en we proberen er achter te komen hoe we deze cellen kunnen stimuleren, met als uiteindelijk doel om deze cellen aan te zetten tot reparatie van het eigen brein.
Nieuws en info
Astrocytes outnumber neurons in the brain, but were neglected in neuroscience research for many years. It is now recognized that astrocytes regulate local microcirculation, modulate the communication between neurons and are the stem cells in the adult brain. In Alzheimer and Parkinson patients, astrocytes become reactive which is likely to affect brain functioning. The main aim of our research is to understand the molecular and functional changes in reactive astrocytes and to study the regenerative potential of the astrocytic stem cells in neurodegeneration. We are studying the function of intermediate filament proteins, such as GFAP, which are highly regulated cytoskeletal structures with a major role in astrocytic cell signaling. The ultimate goal of our research is to develop therapeutic strategies to control reactive gliosis and to stimulate the endogenous repair capacity of the astrocytic stem cells in neurodegenerative diseases.
The proteasome is the major protein degradation system within the cell, comprised of different proteolytic subunits; Amyloid-β is thought to impair its activity in Alzheimer's disease. Neuroinflammation is a prominent hallmark of Alzheimer's disease, which may implicate an activation of the immunoproteasome, a specific proteasome variant induced by immune signaling that holds slightly different proteolytic properties than the constitutive proteasome. Using a novel cell-permeable proteasome activity probe, we found that Amyloid-β enhances proteasome activity in glial and neuronal cultures. Additionally, using a subunit specific proteasome activity assay we showed that in the cortex of the APPswePS1dE9 plaque pathology mouse model, immunoproteasome activities were strongly increased together with increased mRNA and protein expression in reactive glia surrounding plaques. Importantly, this elevated activity was confirmed in human post mortem tissue from donors with Alzheimer's disease. These findings are in contrast with earlier studies, which reported impairment of proteasome activity in human Alzheimer's disease tissue and mouse models. Targeting the increased immunoproteasome activity with a specific inhibitor resulted in a decreased expression of inflammatory markers in ex-vivo microglia. This may serve as a potential novel approach to modulate sustained neuroinflammation and glial dysfunction associated with Alzheimer's disease.

Aicardi-Goutières syndrome (AGS) is a genetically determined infantile encephalopathy, manifesting as progressive microcephaly, psychomotor retardation, and, in approximately 25% of patients, death in early childhood. Our results support the idea of IFN-α as key factor in the pathogenesis of AGS relating to the observed leukodystrophy and microangiopathy. Due to the sustained IFN-α effect, even after IFN-α withdrawal, therapeutic targets for AGS may include downstream IFN-α signaling cascade effectors rather than IFN-α alone.

Our data suggest that all astroglia cells in the developing and adolescent mouse brain express GFAPδ, regardless of their neurogenic capabilities. GFAPδ may be an integral component of all mouse astrocytes, but it is not a specific neural stem cell marker in mice as it is in humans.

Traverser Saxophone Quartet
The Traverser Saxophone Quartet was formed in September of 2002 when four saxophone teachers from colleges and universities in the Northern West Virginia/Southern Pennsylvania region collaborated. The idea behind the quartet was in the name Traverser, or "crossing over." This can be explained by the varied music that the group performs - everything from core classical repertoire to jazz and funk styles. Also, the members switch instruments throughout the performances, creating a continuously varied ensemble texture.
Seeking out new music is one of the TSQ's main objectives. Such great American composers as Walter S. Hartley (Suite No. 2 and Outdoor Music), David Williams (Quartet for Saxophones, Enon Valley), and Christopher Tilley (Sonatina) have already dedicated works to the TSQ, but the music does not end there! The Greek composer Spiros Mazis has written a wonderful work (Your Sad and Funny Face), and Turkish composer Server Acim (Turkey) is currently composing for the TSQ.
TSQ has already given concerts in Europe (Poland, the Czech Republic, Austria,
and Hungary) L -R: Curtis Johnson, David Wright,
Mike Sakash, Jon Brink
well as across the states of West Virginia, Pennsylvania,
and Minnesota, at events such as the World
Saxophone Congress XIII. They hosted the first annual Traverser Saxophone Symposium
at West Virginia Wesleyan College in February, 2003, and founded the Appalachian
Saxophone Orchestra. The second annual Traverser Saxophone Symposium was held at West Virginia University on March 5, 2004,
and the third at Washington and Jefferson College, March 19, 2005. The
quartet looks forward to the 4th annual Traverser Saxophone Symposium to return
to West Virginia Wesleyan College in 2006!
Along with completing their first CD, the Quartet is now preparing for a return to
Europe as participants in the 14th World
Saxophone Congress to be held in Ljubljana, Slovenia, July 5-9, 2006.

Our Chapter has worked concurrently on projects including recently as two of the joint sponsors of the Viva Vaquita! website, a tool in the fight to save the Vaquita, a harbor porpoise that lives only in the north part of the Gulf of California. They have been great partners in the effort.
Save the Whales' mission, as it relates to educating the youth of our world to the need for marine conservation in general and for whale conservation in particular is obviously key. Reaching the youth is the key to a successful future. The science on which their educational programs are based is sound and the overall need to restore the worlds oceans to a state where they can maintain their balance is well recognized. Save the Whales is doing an important job and targeting an important audience.

For use on all years of the Ford 6.0L Powerstroke Superduty. Our angled boot is slightly longer than stock to facilitate many aftermarket piping systems as well as stock applications. More durable and oil resistant than OEM for years of trouble free use. This boot will not fit van applications or Banks Intercooler systems. We do not offer a boot for either of those applications.
Because of the relatively short section of CAC tubing you will need to connect to, and the fact that many of the 6.0L steel tubes are bent and deformed at the ends, we highly recommend the Turbo Hose retaining ring (Now included for free with this hose). No additional clamps are needed, nor is there room for them.

Summary: The classic work on film directing, now fully revised for the millennium
with a foreword by James Garer
introduced by Robert Wise
The Boston Globe said The Film Director ''is more than a solid nuts-and-bolts textbook. It is a fascinating behind-the-kliegs look at the director's world.'' Backstage raved, ''At long last, a book about directing written by a successful full-time practitioner of the craft.'' The New York Times called The Film Dire ...show morector, ''Interestingly written as a clear and well-illustrated handbook for the beginner,'' and Film Reviewer exclaimed, ''The aspiring director and the student could not find a more expert and practical guide to the mastering of the directorial craft.''
Now, award-winning Hollywood director Richard L. Bare's invaluable work on craft and craftsmanship has been completely revised and updated for a new generation of filmmakers. In it, they will not only learn to direct, they will also - perhaps more importantly - find out how to get a job directing.
A fascinating behind-the-scenes look at moviemaking, The Film Director uses firsthand examples from giants such as Hitchcock, Wilder, Kubrick, Stevens, and Vidor along with discussions of the working methods of Cameron, Scorsese, Spielberg, and Nichols. The mechanics and techniques of staging and handling the camera are examined, the art of keeping a story moving is explained, and working with actors so that they can give their personal best is analyzed - as Bare did with the volume's foreword writer, James Garner, whom he discovered. Richard L. Bare brought George Lucas and Robert Altman to his Hollywood shoots so that they could see how industry professionals really work; now anyone who picks up this book can learn, too.
This is a must read for the beginning director on the way to a first big break, as well as for anyone interested in the challenges and triumphs of the director's art. ...show less

0Posted on Jun 5th, 2011 | re: Download Radiohead's 20 Best Cover Songs (50 comments)
After reading the playlist of GREAT songs, this compilation contains what I thought would change my mind about Radiohead but I was wrong. "In Rainbows", a two cd album released in 2007, has all to be a great one but at least to me It wasn't all that good. I have the album and I just like a tune here and there, unfortunately. "The King of Limbs", freshly released, this year, 2011. Cool idea, concept and all but I only really like 2 tunes. I was starting to think what's wrong and ended up with the conclusion that Radiohead isn't really bad just over-rated. Disrespectful, I think, their cover of "Oasis – Wonderwall"… I am not even gonna rate it because negative isn't allowed. Oh well, it's a matter of prefference uh?

3 gang members arrested trying to pawn stolen property.
The Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department is citing teamwork as a major reason they have three burglars in custody.
Santa Clarita had suffered a string of burglaries that involved men knocking on doors of homes during the day. If someone answered the door, the suspects would ask for directions, or pretend to have approached the wrong house.
If no one answered, then the suspects would know that the house is empty and would force entry.
At that point, they would steal as many valuables as possible.
Last week in Palmdale, the suspects attempted to pawn some items that the shop clerk thought were stolen. When Antelope Valley Deputies responded, they arrested Parvin Tanner, Allen Brooks, and a 16 year old juvenile.
Investigation revealed that the property was stolen from homes in Santa Clarita earlier that day.
The men are part of an Antelope Valley Gang known as BOP.
The investigation is ongoing.

In 1903, Alexander Meyrick Broadley (1847–1916) completed his seventeen-volume extra-illustrated version of the two-volume Life of David Garrick by Percy Fitzgerald (1834–1925). Some volumes contain large prints folded over several times; others include the full texts of books not directly related to the original work. These practices, as well as the sheer number of individual additions, have had serious consequences. Some of the prints have been damaged by folding, and some bindings have "sprung"—been forced away from the contents. While repairing the bindings, conservators had to remove two items, a decision not taken lightly because it undoes some of Broadley's work in extending the Life of David Garrick as the re-titled Age of David Garrick.

Los Angeles, CA -- (ReleaseWire) -- 09/17/2012 -- The webmaster at at Cercacasa.it has now made it easier than ever for people to understand exactly where each listing is on the map, thanks to integrated Google maps on each page. Each listing will now have a pin to show the exact location of each home, business or other building a person is trying to purchase.
This comes in handy for people looking in the more remote areas of Italy for real estate. In San Martino, people might not be particularly familiar with the area. Searching for agenzie immobiliari Campo San Martino or case in vendita Campo San Martino can be tough if a person has no clue where some of these listings are located.
Prior to the upgrade, customers were on their own to find the locations of the listings. While the Cercacasa.it still provides numerous pictures of the actual property, people were still forced to open up a new tab to view everything they wanted to. This is no longer the case, and the company hopes that it makes for a much easier user experience.
For more information on the company, or to start viewing listings by searching a customized Google map, visit http://cercacasa.it/annunci/italia/marche/ancona/castelfidardo?contratto=Vendita.
About Cercacasa.it
The experts at Cercacasa.it aim to assist people with all of their real estate needs. The company offers a variety of listings all over the country of Italy for people all around the world to use when trying to buy or rent property.

Follow-Up Postings:
If they are completely dormant you can bare root them. Wrap them in newspaper and keep them damp, cool and in a dark place. If they're not dormant yet I would pot them up. |

Photo of the Week: Remembering our Founder
February 24, 2012
TechnoServe founder Ed Bullard would have celebrated his 77th birthday yesterday. Ed, pictured above on a Kenyan cattle ranch in 1985, was inspired to start TechnoServe after volunteering at a hospital in rural Ghana in the 1960s.
TechnoServe founder Ed Bullard would have celebrated his 77th birthday yesterday. Ed, pictured above on a Kenyan cattle ranch in 1985, was inspired to start TechnoServe after volunteering at a hospital in rural Ghana in the 1960s.
Ed was struck by how difficult it was for hardworking people in the area to lift themselves out of poverty. So in 1968, he launched TechnoServe – a shortening of "Technology in the Service of Mankind" – to help poor people access the tools and knowledge they needed to improve their productivity and increase their incomes. Ed's work was guided by two core principles: the power of private enterprise to transform lives, and the value of providing a hand up rather than a handout. Ed passed away in 1996, but his legacy lives on each day through TechnoServe's work.
"When you think about it, the mission of an organization such as TechnoServe is not to remake women and men, not to create a more noble being," Ed once said. "Instead, the mission of TechnoServe is to release and empower our neighbors…to help them throw off their burden of poverty and stand erect with a sense of their innate pride and dignity."

Ed Bullard launched TechnoServe as a different type of nonprofit – one that would help poor people by connecting them to information and market opportunities.
Photo of the Week: Yesterday the War … Today Businesses
In 1996, TechnoServe founder Ed Bullard traveled to northern Nicaragua to visit members of the Enrique Bermúdez Cooperative. Two years earlier, these farmers were soldiers emerging from a civil war. With TechnoServe's assistance, they began to plant trees and revive the barren land, which was decimated from years of war. TechnoServe helped the farmers reintroduce coffee trees and connect to markets for their crops. The former soldiers formed a cooperative and committed themselves to rebuilding their livelihoods.

I Live In England So Will That Affect The...
I Live In England So Will That Affect The Cost Off Shipping And The Shoe Has Recently Been Reduced So How Much Will I Pay For Shipping? Thanx :)
Kris McGregor
Even if the price is dropped from the item, this will not affect shipping costs as shipping cost is calculated in weight. The best thing to do is to add it into your cart and go through the checkout process. When you get to the screen where it asks you where you live and how you want to ship it, it will tell you how much its gonna cost. Like I've told many people before tho, its not the shipping that gets you, its the teriff that they add on at the boarder. And if you're not in the states, orders over $50 are not shipped for free. Hope this helps brotha

Eating for energy
January 29, 2013 in Health, Nutrition
Are you feeling tired all the time? And are you already wondering how you're going to get through the year, even though it's only the end of January?
Everyone feels exhausted and overwhelmed at times. However, when you are starting to feel run-down all the time and it is starting to interfere with your daily activities, you should stop and re-evaluate your lifestyle. Are you eating healthily? Are you getting enough sleep and exercise? Or could it be something more serious?
Chronic fatigue is an underlying symptom for a number of medical conditions such as anaemia (iron-deficiency), food allergies, diabetes, depression, thyroid and heart problems. If you've been feeling fatigued for more than a month, it is recommended that you visit your doctor for a thorough medical examination.
For many people, though, an unhealthy diet is one of the main reasons for their constant tiredness. We so easily forget that what we put (or don't put!) into our bodies can affect our energy levels immensely.
- It is important to eat a balanced diet that consists of three daily meals and a healthy snack mid-morning and mid-afternoon. You can also opt to divide your daily food into five mini-meals instead. Eating regularly helps to keep your blood sugar levels stable, which in turn helps to keep your energy and concentration levels stable.
- Energise your body with an abundance of nutrient-rich fruits and vegetables and opt for wholegrains (such as brown bread, brown rice, oats, quinoa and rye), low-fat or fat-free dairy and lean proteins (such as lean beef, fish, chicken, turkey, eggs, beans, lentils and tofu). Minimise your intake of fat, sugar and salt.
- Avoid refined starches such as white bread, cakes, pastries, pies, doughnuts, fast foods and deep-fried foods as these foods are low in nutrients and high in kilojoules. These foods may give you a quick surge of energy as they are metabolised immediately, but soon after your blood sugar levels will crash, making you feel even more run-down. If you are feeling peckish, rather snack on fruit, veggie sticks, seeds, nuts and unsalted popcorn.
- If you are on a very strict diet to lose weight and starving yourself in the process, you are not only sapping your energy levels but also slowing down your metabolism. If your body is not getting enough food, it starts preparing itself for a famine by slowing down your metabolism and holding onto all the fat you have. So, rather opt for a more balanced diet with moderate portions of healthy food and combine it with regular exercise; and you will slowly see the kilos melt away.
- Avoid reaching for caffeine, alcohol and nicotine in times of stress. Though they may give you a temporary boost, they make you feel even more tired in the end as they can dehydrate the body, interfere with sleep, overstimulate the nervous system and play havoc with your blood sugar levels.
- Are you drinking enough water? A dehydrated body is a fatigued body. Make sure you stay hydrated by drinking six to eight glasses of fluid a day, preferably water. Your body needs sufficient water to function well – among others, it promotes good blood circulation and energises the brain. If you have a headache and are feeling tired, reach for a glass of water first, you may be dehydrated.
What do you do to boost your energy levels?

ON HOLD for Metropolis Modern, NYC. I am selling a drop dead gorgeous brass polished stainless steel dining table and chairs by Milo Baughman for Thayer Coggin.
It is in very good vintage condition. The brass polish on the chair legs is Perfect. The brass polish on the table legs is also in good condition. The top is comprised of three panels, the middle part collapses (spring mechanism to push down and lock in place when closed, pops up when opened) to allow the other sides to slide back and breakdown the size of the table.
The brass on the table top frame has a very nice aged patina and it can be buffed for more shine if desired by buyer.
In the pictures you will see the patina along the top frame of the brass table. The table legs and inside frame are still the polished shiny brass. The glass is smoked. There is a small corner chip in the middle panel of glass. The chair fabric is original and tags are attached. Two of the chairs have stains. Four are in good condition.
This piece is striking!

stop me if you've heard this one
So an epidemiologist and a dendrochronologist walked into a bar…
OK, no they didn't. There's no punchline here. But Discover Magazine's Megadeath in Mexico is a fascinating article about the great stuff that happens when different fields of science collide.
To be successful in science, you must focus in your field, to the exclusion of almost everything else. That's a tragedy, since most of the biggest discoveries have been and will be made by the rare people who are able to cut across multiple disciplines.
This article details a researcher whose discoveries challenge the popular historical assumption that smallpox introduced by exploring Europeans was to blame for the devastation of indigenous American colonies during the 14th century. Instead, it looks a lot more like a hemorrhagic fever, and the dates of incidence line up exactly with years during which flooding was prevalent. Just about every 30 years or so, it'd get bad again.
Every 30 years. That's pretty much the same timeline for the major influenza pandemics. Is it because of generational exposure and immunity as some have hypothesized? Or could it be just another totally normal part of the planet's cyclical ecology? Don't worry, I'll save the climate change rant for another day.
But do read the article.

Hints, Staffordshire.
Three chimpanzees are kept as pets by Mrs Molly Badham and her friend Natalie Evans. The chimps are called Michelle, Heathcliffe and Lucy. They all wear clothes and are seen playing in the garden and house.
Heathcliffe drinks from a bottle and pulls faces. He is sitting in a pram. Lucy joins him and also has a drink. They eat and play - Lucy pushes Heathcliffe along then lifts him out of the pram. They run along hand in hand then play on slide in the garden.
Michelle is a bit older and she waters some flowers with a watering can. The kids are "still at it" playing on a roundabout in the garden. Michelle does some ironing. Lucy climbs a tree, swinging around. Michelle does some hoovering in the lounge. Lucy rides a little bicycle with Heathcliffe accompanying her. Michelle (wearing pyjamas) climbs into bed.
Nice quirky music throughout.
Note: there are cameraman's notes on file which give some idea of the kind of day the cameraman had filming this. He writes: "Molly Badham would like the commentary read over to her, as they don't want people to think they are CRANKS!! OH BROTHER. They don't mind it being a humorous commentary but not cranky - it's all yours Roy, I've done my share! PTO" on the other side of the page it reads: "I'm still scratching."

A Milestone Moment at UCSB Bren School's 2014 Commencement: 1,000th Degree Is Conferred
UC Santa Barbara's Bren School of Environmental Science and Management marked a milestone on Friday at its 2014 Commencement ceremony when it conferred a degree on its 1,000th student. This "green" grad school celebrated by showering that student, Louisa Smythe, not with paper confetti but with multicolored rose petals.
At the 10 a.m. ceremony in Michael J. Connell Memorial Courtyard, the 18-year-old Bren School graduated 79 students: 75 earning MESM (master of environmental science and management) degrees and four earning Ph.D.s. Chancellor Henry T. Yang pointed out that the Bren class represented 1.4 percent of this year's total UCSB graduating class, calling the ceremony "small but very special."
Both the chancellor and Bren Dean Steven Gaines acknowledged the six students lost in the May 23 Isla Vista tragedy, with Chancellor Yang calling for a moment of silence. Yang announced that six scholarships have been established in the students' memories and each will be awarded a bachelor's degree posthumously.
Awards and recognition were given to both students and faculty. Taylor Debevec was honored with the MESM Service Award, and two students – Casey O'Hara and Maxwell Ludington – received MESM Academic Achievement Awards. Professor Roland Geyer was presented with the Distinguished Faculty Teaching Award.
Ashley Conrad-Saydah, Deputy Secretary for Climate Policy at the California Environmental Protection Agency and a 2008 MESM graduate, delivered the keynote address, "Time to Leave the Choir." She called for students in the graduating class to "take a harder path," and quoting Frost, urged them to "take the road less traveled, diverge, and cultivate alliances where you might otherwise be a lone ranger." The student address was given by Emily DeMarco (MESM 2014).
Class Chairs Elizabeth Ross and Alisan Amrhein presented the class gift, noting that this year they were able to get 100% participation from the graduating class. The gift, sun shades, will help shield students from the sun on the Deckers Outdoor Corporation Terrace, also known as the Deckers Deck.
Before, during, and after the ceremony, musical entertainment was provided by Bren School's own student band, Brengrass. The music included a rousing rendition at the conclusion of the ceremony of Three Dog Night's "Joy to the World." Joining in the singing was Dean Gaines and Satie Airame, Assistant Dean for Academic Programs.
Appetizers, desserts, and mimosas were served at an outdoor reception afterward. One table featured foods from Salty Girl Seafood, which won two awards – the Elings Prize and the People's Choice – in the recent New Venture Competition 2014, hosted by the Technology Management Program. Salty Girl Seafood is a sustainable seafood distribution company founded by two Bren MESM graduates: Norah Eddy and Laura Johnson.
Congratulations to all the Bren School graduates; and congrats on reaching the milestone of 1,000 graduates!

Whether you're still recovering from a day of hectic Black Friday shopping, or you've been prepared for this year's holiday season since last March, the 'Holiday Toys Then & Now' infographic offers some helpful tips and interesting facts on all the must-have items of the past and present.
Taking a nostalgic look back at the favorite toys of the last eight decades, this illustrated graph definitely brings back some childhood memories for me, especially with the 1990s 'Tickle Me Elmo' boom! While the toy might seem a little outdated now, the newly updated 'Let's Rock Elmo' sounds like it will be a hit this year. Embracing touchscreen technology, many of the beloved toys of the past are updating their look to stay relevant in a tech-savvy world, although I'm still a loyal fan of the classic Rubik's Cube!
If you're still scrambling to find the perfect present for your little loved ones, 'Holiday Toys Then & Now' is a great place to start!

12. The Burning World (1989)
It's telling that the worst album Swans ever released is by far their most accessible. It says even more that it's nowhere close to bad. This was the lone major label album, and it left a bad taste with Michael Gira for the rest of his career. After Children Of God, Swans needed a sea change. Fully embracing the dark Americana they flirted with on Children and ditching the heaviness altogether, The Burning World made a certain kind of sense coming from a mainstream label. At no point will this hurt your ears. Songs occasionally sound like The National due to Gira's restrained baritone, despite predating that band by a full decade. But it was ultimately a poor match between newly light songwriting and too-thin, too-precious production from Bill Laswell that sealed the album's fate. In Gira's own words, years later: "I abhor that record." Which is a very Gira thing to say. He undersells it by a long way: Burning World merely misses the mark in comparison to the heights they'd achieve elsewhere. "God Damn the Sun" is still one of the best things they'd ever write.
It started in the sewer. Ugliness embodied. Noise like you'd never heard. The bellowing drawl of an unhinged slave driver, spitting abuse and mantras of degradation.
"Nobody beats you like a cop, with his club."
"Someone weaker than you should rape you."
Lyrics sailed past pitch-black into some deeper, darker void of nastiness. The music was supposed to hurt. This was NYC in the early '80s. This was Swans.
In its earliest incarnation, Swans set out to inflict itself upon the listener –- violation and domination set to post-punk sludge, meant to break you down, bend you over, and tear right through. Mastermind and sole constant Michael Gira drew on the writings of Jean Genet and the Marquis de Sade to sculpt his repetitious tirades, while an ever-shifting live band channeled the urban blight of no-wave and industrial into something much worse. The early records remain some of the most unapologetic, uncompromising sounds ever recorded.
What set Swans apart from their peers — bands like Mars, DNA, even a nascent Sonic Youth (Thurston supposedly spent time in Swans before anything was recorded) — was a sense of larger purpose. When grueling noise exhausted itself as a means of making a point, they'd simply change approach –- even when it meant clawing toward the light. Looking back on the band's origins in a 1995 interview, Gira reflected: "The whole idea of being a noise band at this point is the most conformist, conservative, consumerist, brain-dead route you could take. I think it would be more adventurous to sing at a Holiday Inn." Confrontation is where you find it.
With the addition of Jarboe on vocals and keys –- she was the only other constant from '84-'97 –- structures began to shift, songs coalesced into singable, hummable things, and Swans burst outward in a cruel bloom of contradictory sounds. The first transitional records saw the original stew of post-punk and sludge retrofitted to stuttering industrial beats while softer, piano tracks started to appear. Before long, each passing record took on a new persona, and each shift saw the band's vision grow exponentially in texture and scope. Gira's obsessions — power, religion, sex, death — remained constant, but his impressionistic, shouted rants found new strength when he adopted a baritone croon and learned to tell stories, softening his attack to serve a higher calling.
After the mild success of Children Of God in '87, Swans leapt to a major label for The Burning World. That record sold so poorly they were dropped almost immediately, casting them back to the threadbare comfort of the underground that offered them artistic freedom if nothing else. Throughout it all, Gira's force of will and Jarboe's plaintive moan held the act together; a tenuous balance not unlike mellower compatriots Brendan Perry and Lisa Gerard of Dead Can Dance, just a lot less pretty. Swans' path was not without potholes: an infamous cover of "Love Will Tear Us Apart" jumps out as one of the worst things they ever did, and Gira has more or less disowned an entire chunk of his back catalog. But even the missteps offer substance greater than most bands could imagine. Luckily the bulk of the catalog is a string of masterpieces, one after another.
Gira dissolved the band in 1997. His growing interest in folk and Americana gave birth to a gentler band, Angels Of Light, while Jarboe shifted focus to solo projects and collaborations with Swans-inspired acts like Neurosis and Justin Broadrick (Godflesh/Jesu). Swans was never much of a money-making venture in its day, but the cult of fans grew substantially over the years. In 2010, Gira shook out the dust and revived the name for a reunion album. Just two months ago, Swans released a massive, double-disc follow-up titled The Seer. Musically and artistically, they're as strong as ever, with brimstone and ecstatic energy to spare. After struggling through the trenches of obscurity for decades, they've finally arrived to the public: For the first time they're selling out shows and cracking the Billboard charts.
Swans' catalog is daunting, with no obvious entry point. The early stuff is caustic. The middle stuff is largely out of print, existing instead inside excellent but incomplete compilations. Every incarnation of the band presents something brilliant, but something different: Each record is worthy of your time, even the worst of them. So let's explore the Swans discography*, in ascending order, from worst to best. Start the Countdown here.
*Since these records have been reissued and restructured so heavily over the years, this list is based on the studio albums as they were originally released, not the reissues, which sometimes shifted sequences to combine multiple albums, or left off tracks altogether. Seen as a whole, the Swans catalog is a clusterfuck; for logistical purposes I'm not including any of the countless EPs, compilations, or live albums, though most are worth tracking down (especially Swans Are Dead).

Homoptera: Cicadidae
Magicicada sp.
Other Common names Periodical cicadas are also commonly called the 17-year cicada, 13-year cicada, or locusts. The name "locust" is misleading because it applies to migratory grasshoppers.
Damage caused by nymphs feeding on plant roots is considered very minor. The adults do not feed on the upper portions of the tree after they emerge, but egg laying by the female cicadas causes significant damage to small twigs. The female places her saw-like egglaying tube, called an ovipositor, into small branches and twigs that are about the diameter of a pencil. Twigs will die because the branch is split when the eggs are placed under the thin bark. This dead twig contrasts with the surrounding green foliage, a condition called "flagging". Young trees are the most severely damaged by flagging because they have more branches of the preferred size for egg laying by the cicada.
The immature cicadas, called nymphs, do not feed on the twig where they hatch but drop to the ground and burrow to the root system below the tree. Once attached they stay on the root for 13 or 17 years until the next emergence.
Cicadas are not poisonous and do not have a stinger. Communities and farms with large numbers of cicadas emerging from the ground often are beset with a substantial noise problem. Half of the population are males "singing" or calling for the females. The annoyance from the singing is tempered by the fact that the periodical cicadas are only out for 4-6 weeks once every 17 years, but they can occur more frequently where broods overlap.
Non-woody plants sometimes will have cicadas resting on the foliage but rarely receive damage.
In the common name,13-and 17-year applies to the developmental period required for the nymphs to reach adulthood. Adults start appearing in Virginia in early May with numbers peaking in early June. Numbers decline by late June and most cicadas are gone by July. Periodical cicadas emerge in specific locations once every 17 years in most of Virginia. In some of the southern counties there are periodical cicadas that emerge once every 13 years. There are seventeen broods of the 17-year cicada and thirteen broods of the 13-year cicada. Every year they will emerge somewhere in the state. Some counties have several broods in different locations. Massive brood emergence is believed to overwhelm predators, which are mostly birds.
Immature periodical cicadas (nymphs) develop underground and feed on sap from plant roots. After 13 or 17 years below ground, mature nymphs construct a mud turret called a cicada hut and emerge from the soil and climb onto nearby vegetation or any vertical surface. They then molt to the winged adult stage. Their shed outer skins or "exoskeletons" are frequently found attached to tree trunks and twigs. The emergence is often tightly synchronized, with most adults appearing within a few nights. Adult cicadas live for only two to four weeks. During this short time, they feed relatively little and do not cause any severe damage as they feed. Male cicadas sing by vibrating membranes on the sides of the first abdominal segment. Male courtship songs attract females for mating. Females are silent. After mating, females lay their small eggs in twigs 1/4 to 1/2 inch in diameter. The female's ovipositor slices into the wood and deposits the eggs. One to several dozen eggs can be laid in one branch, with up to 400 eggs being laid by each female in 40 to 50 sites.
Cicada eggs remain in the twigs for six to ten weeks before hatching. The nymphs do not feed on the twigs. The newly hatched, ant-like nymphs fall to the ground where they burrow 6 to 18 inches underground to feed.
Periodical cicadas are most damaging to small young trees that have the most desirable branch size for egg laying. Large, established trees can often have large amounts of flagging but rarely suffer severe damage.
Consult a Cicada map available from a county Extension office and avoid planting new fruit and ornamental trees in the same year as a predicted cicada emergence. The cicada map in the current Spray Bulletin for Commercial Tree Fruit Growers (VCE Publication 456-419) or this table that is provided on the next page, the necessary information.
Newly planted trees can be covered with fine netting to keep the cicadas from reaching the small tender twigs. Secure the netting around the trunk to stop them from climbing up into the tree. Remove the netting at the end of June.
Remove flagging damage and destroy the clippings to reduce the number of nymphs that will establish on the roots of that tree.
Spraying will give limited control in commercial nurseries, as new cicadas will fly in to replace the individuals killed by the spray. Scout trees every 2-3 days to check for egglaying activity and treat as soon as it starts. Consult the current Virginia Pest Management Guide or the Spray Bulletin for Commercial Tree Fruit Growers for current chemical recommended for control.
Insecticides in backyard plantings will give limited control ,but often the sprays will cause worse problems. Blooming trees and plants should not be treated as this may kill pollinating insects. Caution should be used, as populations of spider mites will often increase after application of Sevin.
The dogday cicada is also called the annual cicada or harvestfly. Dogday cicadas are related to the periodical cicada and are usually associated with oaks, maples, and other mature well established trees. The dogday cicadas appear during the long, summer days of July and August. These cicadas have two- to five-year life cycles, but their broods overlap and some appear every summer. Dog-day cicadas are larger than periodical cicadas and have brown- black bodies with whitish highlights and green wing margins. Annual cicadas do not ordinarily cause much damage.

BUT Yesterday was really fun. Calle and I hung out for an hour...yay! she's so awesome! and now that i'm not in school anymore, we can really be friends, and it's not awkward at all.
it's kinda funny. she broke up with her partner of like, 10 years (that's not hte funny part) a few months ago, and they're still really good friends. which is pretty much what happened to me and R. i mean, i'm not compairing a 10 month relationship to a 10 year one, but there are similarities, and it was neat talking about it with her.
she's such a wonderful person and a great friend. normally, adults are less than open with me, cause, ya know, i'm YOUNG, so of course i wouldn't understand their problems (screw them), but she's totally open about stuff, and was talking about her problems and stuff. Lol she told me about this meltdown that she'd had a few days ago, and we realised that in the telling, it turned out to be really funny, so we were laughing about it.
and i told her about the dream i'd had, where she was telling me that the pain from a broken heart is carried in the metacarples (no idea how to spell that...it's some of hte bones in you hands) of your left hand...and how she had this whole thing to heal it. it was a very strange dream...so we were totally laughing about it.
it was just relaxed, and friendly, and it made me feel good. i've always admired her, and wanted to get to know her better, and now i am!
oh, and one of the best parts?! she said that even after she stops paying me to play with her kitten (loooong story short, her kitten goes psycho if he's home alone too long, so she PAYS me {that part i objected to, but she insisted} to go over and play with him every day LOL), that i can still go over to her house and hang out if i want to. which i'm totally going to do. i LOVE her little house. it's like my sanctuary. with R being back (and crazy), and the whole thing with ET...my life is insane, but her house (and her kitten) have been my save haven, where everything is simple, and normal...and yay!
okay...speaking of His Cuteness, i need to get dressed LOL and get my ass over there. I'm such a lazy bum... :D
Your journal makes me think of "Annie on my Mind". Cuz you are going to an older lesbian's house to take care of her cat and its like a little sanctuary for you, like it was for Annie and that other girl that I don't remember her name...
If you've never read "Annie on my Mind" I suggest you do, and this probably made no sense if you haven't......
