I had a good crop of Monarch (30-ish), Black Swallowtail (15-ish) and Tiger Swallowtail (15-ish) cats. They were still quite small but had plenty of food (my ENTIRE garden is devoted to attracting butterflies and providing host plants, and it's quite a large garden). I go on vacation for 2 weeks and return to find perhaps half a dozen cats left, zero Monarchs or Tigers, just Blacks. I am nearly certain it was the wasps that have done this, as I've seen them attack and kill, and on occasion fly away with (!) my cats. They seem to do it for no other reason but to kill the cats. I watched a wasp attack a very mature Monarch cat, do something to it and fly away before I could get my trusty tennis racket. I brought that cat in, even gently rinsed it, but in just a few hours it was dead. So, first question, WHY do wasps attack cats like this? Primary question, how to keep the wasps away or kill them (preferably the latter)? I have an electric tennis racket that zaps them and have ordered (but not yet received) 2 different kinds of traps for them. I do of course check my property for nests and kill them, but I'm in a neighborhood not far from woods. They could be on any of my neighbors homes or in the woods. Any good ways to keep these serial killers away from my 'babies?' Let me link you to the 2 products I've just ordered, in case any of you have experience with them and can offer advice on their efficacy and how best to set them up. #1 These are passive traps. Are there products out there to repel wasps, or kill them? The zapping tennis racket works, but I barely make a dent in their numbers (probably) however gratifying it is for me. Is there an active denial system to repel them w/o repelling b-flies as well? A toxin targeting only wasps? A plant that repels only them? Thank you even for just reading. Any suggestions are MOST welcome and sincere thanks to those who offert them. Thanks, |

I don't know why wasps kill caterpillars, but they've been doing it probably longer than there have been humans walking the earth. If we didn't have wasps, we might be overrun with so many caterpillars, we'd think they were pests. If you want to keep the caterpillars from being victims of the wasps, you need to bring them in or enclose them with fine mesh that will keep the wasps out. You can buy special sleeves that slip over a plant or tree branch to keep the developing cats safe. Many of us on this forum enjoy bringing cats indoors or onto a porch and keeping them supplied with fresh host plant while they grow inside protected containers. That way, you get to see them when they come out of their chrysalis and might even be able to breed some in captivity. Then you could raise even more. Good luck finding a way to protect them. I hope your illness resolves or remisses soon. Martha |
Some wasps use caterpillars as food for their own larvae, either laying eggs on the caterpillar but leaving the caterpillar where it is, or paralyzing the caterpillar and then laying the eggs on or in the paralyzed caterpillar which is placed in whatever shelter the adult wasp constructs for the young. Docmom has given two great suggestions for protecting your caterpillars, or you could probably put hoops over a part of the bed to protect it and move caterpillars there as you find them. I use a narrow plastic plumbing pipe (ADS - black & comes in a coil) with the ends sunk about 8" and covered with netting. Alternatively, you could use EMT metal electrical conduit and use right angle connectors to create U's to stretch your netting over. |
I use an electric tennis racket to stop wasps from searching my nettles for RA cats. If you are going to use those kinds of traps, set them up far away from your hostplants. Slowly walk your property and look for wasp nests. Watching where wasps go is the best bet since many nests are hidden. Spray the nest opening at night. Most caterpillars are not going to make it unless you somehow protect them. Or you could raise gypsy moths. ;) |

If you were gone for two weeks, chances are that the caterpillars pupated if they were still living. Birds eat caterpillars too. I hate to see the wasps too, parasitic and otherwise, but they also help to control other caterpillars too like DocMom said. Those other caterpillars which can eat many things might destroy the host plants that you've installed for the desirable butterflies. All in balance. Some non-native wasps have been released to control agricultural pests, but then also parasitize non-target larvae. And that really irks me. Anyway, I see my yard as a small sort-of functioning ecological system, and there is a system of balances and checks. The caterpillars that do survive may be more "fit" if they were able to evade the wasp. The plants themselves release odors (volatile organic compounds) into the air which attracts predators to help the plant out. If you grow food for yourself, you might want to have these biological controls around too. As others have mentioned, if you want to make sure they make it to adulthood, bring some in to raise. Only 1% of the eggs laid by a butterfly make it to adulthood, which is why they lay so many eggs. Hopefully, your caterpillars are safe somewhere in their chrysalides, but those can also make a meal for different animals. |

NVIDIA Provides Open-Source Tegra K1 Support In Nouveau
Published on 01 February 2014 05:26 PM EST
Written by
Michael Larabel
36 Comments
For those questioning whether NVIDIA's open-source graphics merits of the past few months have been real, this weekend NVIDIA released the initial open-source hardware enablement code to support their forthcoming Tegra K1 SoC graphics within Nouveau!
NVIDIA's Tegra K1 is super exciting
and was announced at the beginning of Januart. The K1 features Kepler-based graphics and should be a mighty-powerful ARM chip. NVIDIA has already been supporting their binary graphics driver on ARM for several months, but now to complement their official high-performance binary graphics driver is Nouveau graphics driver support for this SoC that has yet to even materialize.
Nouveau for years has relied upon community reverse-engineering but now NVIDIA has provided the first hardware enablement patches to the driver. Alexandre Courbot of NVIDIA wrote on
the DRI mailing list
, "GK20A is the Kepler-based GPU used in the upcoming Tegra K1 chips. The following patches perform architectural changes to Nouveau that are necessary to support non-PCI GPUs and add initial support for GK20A. Although the support is still very basic and more user-space changes will be needed to make the full graphics stack run on top of it, we were able to successfully open channels and run simple pushbuffers with libdrm."
This Tegra K1 Nouveau support is still proof-of-concept but is a huge step forward in coming from NVIDIA themselves. It was only this past September they committed to better open-source graphics support and since then we have only seen a couple light documentation drops, until the work this weekend.
The announcement went on to say, "I guess my email address might surprise some of you, so let me anticipate some questions you might have. :P Yes, this work is endorsed by NVIDIA. Several other NVIDIAns (CC'd), including core GPU experts, have provided significant technical guidance and will continue their involvement. Special thanks go to Terje Bergstrom and Ken Adams for their invaluable GPU expertise, and Thierry Reding (at FOSDEM this weekend) for help with debugging and user-space testing."
At the moment this experimental work is limited to Nouveau's DRM kernel driver and not the Nouveau Gallium3D driver nor xf86-video-nouveau DDX.
While some may be leaping for joy, the binary NVIDIA driver will likely be the preferred option for the foreseeable future given that Nouveau is still stuck to GL3 compared to NVIDIA's OpenGL 4.x hardware, the performance is many times better, and there's numerous other features not found in the open-source NVIDIA driver at this time.
For an idea as to the NVIDIA open-source driver situation check out our recent
25-way open-source Intel/AMD/NVIDIA GPU comparison
the problems encountered in using Nouveau
. Hopefully the NVIDIA Linux engineers will make Nouveau more reliable in the months ahead, especially with regards to power management / re-clocking.

No 22 Wisconsin holds off Penn State 63-60
No 22 Wisconsin holds off Penn State 63-60
STATE COLLEGE, Pa. — Traevon Jackson made a contested 3-pointer at the buzzer and finished with 15 points, and No. 22 Wisconsin survived an upset scare from Penn State to win its regular-season finale 63-60 Sunday.
The Badgers (21-10, 12-6 Big Ten) went the length of the court with less than 4 seconds left. Jackson pulled up at the wing and made the 3 over the outstretched arm of Kevin Montminy.
Officials upheld the basket on the review, and anxious fans at the Jordan Center let out a collective sigh of disappointment.

Planting The Seeds Of Love
And so that's why I'm telling you this. I don't expect you're going to change everything overnight. It would be nice, but it just doesn't happen that way. And the truth is that's not how we really grow. It's about baby steps. An increase in awareness. A process. Sometimes three steps forward, two steps back. Some good days, some harder days, but no bad days; all of them lead to progress. Some days we feel like we're finally there, ready to step out and embrace our birthright, and other days we just want to bury ourselves under the covers and cry. The point is, it's our own journey; it's all about what happens every day to our consciousness that causes us to move forward on our life path at a pace that only we know. And no one can do that for us. We can have people and experiences and, yes, even articles like this one that can plant ideas and inspirations and "aha!" moments along the way. But I can say from experience, looking back over my own personal journey, reflecting on my journey from there (miserable, lonely) to here, (contented, happy), I realize that it all comes together when we're ready. It comes together with the timing that's right for each of us, and the timing that's right for you is going to be different than what's right for your best friend, your sister, or your yoga instructor. The Truth about Love and Divine Timing
My journey was different from yours and yours will be different from mine, but why I'm writing this to you is because it's these little moments that plant the seeds in our consciousness. And those same little moments are what cause monumental changes in awareness within us that ultimately cause the changes that we need to bring love and happiness into our lives. Like when Mr. Right finally shows up at your door. It didn't just happen. It started with an openness on your part, progressed to a gradual change of consciousness on the inside of you, and eventually manifested itself in a physical occurrence of the person you've been waiting your whole life for. Walking through the door and finding you ready for him at the exact time that he's at that same point and ready for you. It's beautiful, and believe me, it happens and it will happen for you. How To Meet Mr. Right
Just keep planting those seeds!
Jane Garapick knows firsthand what it's like to have a broken heart, a broken dream and a broken you. She writes about adventures on the rocky road to finding Mr. Right at www.gettingtotruelove.com.

Loud, overcrowded parties in residential neighborhoods once again will be under a microscope this summer in the NYPD's 105th Precinct.
Civic and elected officials on Monday formally kicked off the second year of the Summer Noise Task Force, which is aimed at keeping neighborhoods free of gatherings that proliferate to the size of block parties and often have music blaring through commercial-sized speakers.
"We're not saying you can't have fun in your backyard," Councilman Donovan Richards (D-Laurelton) said outside the Laurelton Library. "What we don't want is parties with 300 or 400 people. Our neighborhoods can't take that."
The noise task force is a joint effort on the part of civic organizations, elected officials and the precinct to be proactive and deal with such parties before they start.
Richards and others spoke Monday afternoon following a monthly meeting at the library that included civic leaders and officials from the 105th Precinct.
Faith Hill of Springfield Gardens said the music from some of the parties can be heard two or more blocks away.
"It might start out something small in people's backyard," she said. "But 400 people show up because they post the party on Facebook and Twitter."
Richards also said some take place when homeowners rent out their backyards to party organizers.
"People they don't even know," he said.
"It's become a common question in our neighborhood to ask how you slept this weekend," said Bess DeBetham, of Laurelton, who also sits on Community Board 13.
Richards said the task force encourages people to take back their blocks, and to do so before the parties start, if possible.
"You know where the houses are on your block," he said. "Call 311. Have your neighbors all call 311. Once they start receiving more than five calls, they will want to investigate."
He said once that is done, residents should also alert their civic association and community board, as well as his office, in an attempt to head off the trouble, often in the form of a pre-party visit from the 105th Precinct.
"Our police should not have to be clearing 400 or 500 people from a party," Richards said. "They're busy enough."
The councilman did say that the NYPD now has the authority under some circumstances to seize the speakers and DJ equipment.
The partnership worked well last year.
"We didn't have a single party fatality in this precinct," he said.
Richards said a bill is now pending in the City Council to require people hosting 100 or more people to apply for a permit the same way they already must for a block party or a larger gathering in a city park.
"Right now, that doesn't apply to people's yards," he said.
Richards, chairman of the Council's Environmental Committee, also is investigating the possibility of lowering the allowable decibel level for parties held in residential neighborhoods.

.- The Catholic League says Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry should "condemn" the Catholics for Kerry 04 Web site for having a statement that refers to President George W. Bush as "the anti-Christ."
On the Web site, Wayne Madsden writes: "George W. Bush's blood lust, his repeated commitment to Christian beliefs and his constant references to 'evil doers,' in the eyes of many devout Catholic leaders, bear all the hallmarks of the one warned about in the Book of Revelations—the anti-Christ." He adds that Bush "couples his political fanaticism with a neo-Christian blood cult."
Catholic League president William Donohue says such comments have "no legitimate role to play in presidential politics.
"It is important to note that it is not the position of the Catholic League that the Kerry camp should be held responsible for this group of wacko Catholics," said Donohue.
However, he added, "it would seem only proper that John Kerry should condemn Catholics for Kerry 04."
Donohue said this would seem only reasonable since Kerry spokesman Chad Clanton recently demanded that Bush "condemn" a book about Kerry's alleged fraudulent behavior in Vietnam because one of authors made anti-Catholic remarks in a chat room last year.

Sundance 2014 Review: 'Dinosaur 13' Unearths Bones of Compelling Story, Can't Quite Fit Them Together
Movie Reviews By Kate Erbland on January 17, 2014 | Be the First To CommentWhile the Sundance Film Festival has not necessarily buried the logline of Todd Miller's documentary, Dinosaur 13, early versions of the festival's film guide promised to deliver the true story of one of the greatest discoveries in human history – the 1990 unearthing of a the world's largest and most complete T. rex skeleton in an unassuming South Dakota bluff. Despite a more full synopsis of the film now floating around, it's best to approach Miller's film with the minimum of previous knowledge. Depending on your age and interest in dino bones, pieces of the story will likely ring a bell, but Miller's film chronicles a shocking, unnerving, and often very surprising story. Of course, it doesn't hurt that one of the film's many talking heads briefly mentions that what sounds like a rousing story about discovery and human interest has "a bad ending," hinting early on that Dinosaur 13 has a very different story to tell – and it does, it's just unfortunate that it's buried underneath whole piles of cinematic refuse.
The 14 Most Anticipated Movies of the 2014 Sundance Film Festival
Features By FSR Staff on January 15, 2014 | Comments (3)There's no science when it comes to picking the big winners at a film festival before the first film strip unfurls (or someone hits play on a digital file, as is most often the case these days), no proven method to the madness, no guaranteed formula to finding the best of the best. It's a gamble every single time, and that's precisely where much of the joy in attending a film festival comes from. That discovery, maddening as it may seem. This year's Sundance Film Festival is predictably stuffed with all manner of films and talents – from the star-studded to the utterly up-and-coming – and while it's certainly easy to pick out pictures that "sound" like they might be good or at least feature "bankable" talent, there are always a few sleepers that sneak in and captivate an unsuspecting audience. That all said, we here at Film School Rejects have attempted to apply our expertise and our personal interests to this year's festival in order to pick out a handful of films that just might be the best of the fest, but that are at least guaranteed to send us running into a theater to see them once the festival kicks up. It's time for Sundance! And it's time for films! It's even time for anticipation! And now it's time for some anticipated Sundance films!
Which Crowdfunded Sundance Film Will Be the Biggest Festival Success?
Features By Kate Erbland on January 3, 2014 | Be the First To CommentThere's no shortage of film-related projects stumping for cash on crowdfunding sites like Kickstarter and IndieGoGo, but come winter, there's always a special smattering of films looking for fundage on the site, and for one simple reason – they've been accepted into the Sundance Film Festival and they need financial assistance to facilitate that dream. It certainly sounds strange to those who associate Sundance with recognizable stars and gifting suites, but for all the "Hollywood Goes to the Snow" coverage and buzz the festival pulls in, there are still a bevy of struggling filmmakers who genuinely need help to get to Park City to see their film screen. In an ideal situation, crowdfunding exists to help creative minds craft works that they could not afford on their own (or, as is the case with many projects, work that they pointedly do not want to be privately funded by a big studio, business, or bank) thanks to the support of interested consumers (are you likely to donate to a stranger's project if you don't want to somehow enjoy it yourself?). Sundance, for all its glitz and glamour and big parties and big names, still ostensibly exists to serve the independent film community. As such, this year's festival boasts a number of buzzed-about selections that turned (and, in some cases, are still turning) to the good-hearted people of the Internet to gather some scratch. So just who is that going to pay off for?
Sundance 2014: 20 Films We're Already Excited About Seeing in January
Features By Kate Erbland on December 6, 2013 | Comments (1)It happens every year. Smack in the middle of the seemingly never-ending time period of "consideration" and loud arguments known as awards season, the Sundance Film Festival announces their selections for their upcoming spectacle. Such announcements could not come at a better time, really, as they stand to remind us of all the fresh films awaiting our eyes in mere weeks. (It's okay, we only have to think about the same ten or so awards contenders for another four months, really.) For the 2014 Sundance Film Festival, the fest's programmers selected 118 feature-length films (from 37 countries and 54 first-time filmmakers) from a boggling 12,218 submissions. In short – there's a lot of fresh stuff to look forward to here, and we're just starting to give it the attention it deserves. Despite the depth of field to dive into here (including Dramatic titles in competition, the NEXT category, and the newly launched Sundance Kids section), the festival is not quite done announcing selections – picks from its Premieres and Documentary Premieres will be announced later – but as those are typically the films we already have awareness of far in advance (if your Sundance film has a bunch of star power beside it, you'll probably bow in the Premiere section), they've got enough buzz behind them already. We're already looking for the unexpected gems, and here's hoping one of these picks pans out come January.

Attention, Angelenos: We Are in Your Fair City
February 20, 2014 | by Dan Piepenbring
As New York's brutal winter wends its way onward, ever onward, two among us have had the good sense to go West: our John Jeremiah Sullivan and Lorin Stein have absconded to LA, which reliable sources indicate is sunny, balmy, and unspeakably pleasant. The two of them are probably, at this very moment, tooling around in a slick late-model convertible and soaking up rays, the reflection of the Hollywood sign visible in the lenses of their Wayfarers.
But they have a job to do: tonight, at 7:30 P.M., Sullivan will give a reading as part of the Hammer Museum's Some Favorite Writers series, where he'll be joined by Stein. The event is free, and given how wonderful it must feel to be in Los Angeles, you can expect both gentlemen to be in top form. Go!
Get Ready to Revel
February 12, 2014 | by Dan Piepenbring
Just when you thought you couldn't wish for spring any more fervently, news arrives of our Spring Revel. Save the date: on Tuesday, April 8, writers, poets, artists, editors, readers, supporters, eminences, patrons of the arts, bon vivants, and other all-around admirable sorts will convene at Cipriani 42nd Street for a legendary evening. Women's Wear Daily calls the Revel "the best party in town"; Mary Karr calls it "prom for New York intellectuals."
This year, we'll honor Frederick Seidel with the Hadada Award, to be presented by John Jeremiah Sullivan. Lydia Davis will present the Plimpton Prize for Fiction; Roz Chast will present the Terry Southern Prize for Humor; and Martin Amis, Charlotte Rampling, and Zadie Smith will all read. There will be dinner, and cocktails, and unabated merriment, thanks in no small part to our event chairs, Chris Weitz and Mercedes Martinez.
We'd love to see you there! Tickets and tables are available now.
The Flatus of Yore, and Other News
January 24, 2014 | by Dan Piepenbring
- Japanese scrolls from the Edo period depict—yes—erumpent, competitive flatulence.
- Back to more dignified fare. Guess the classic novel from its first sentence.
- Fact: Kurt Vonnegut wrote a made-for-TV movie in 1972. It's called Between Time and Timbuktu, or Prometheus-5: A Space Fantasy. Vonnegut later withdrew from the production: "I am not going to have anything more to do with film—for this reason: I don't like film." Well. As far as excuses go, that one's airtight.
- "I think empathy is a guy who punches you in the face at a bus station, and you're somehow able to look at him and know enough about what situation he was in to know that he had to do that and not to hit back. That's empathy, and nothing ever happens in writing that has that kind of moral heroism about it." A new interview with John Jeremiah Sullivan.
- As any reader of Empson's Seven Types of Ambiguity knows, vagueness can be artful, but it's especially so in Mandarin writing, where ambiguous sentences resemble optical illusions.

"It was a really hard choice to make and you never quite know, 'Was it the right choice or the wrong choice?'" Heigl said of leaving "Grey's." "But the only thing that gives me solace is knowing that if I hadn't [left], I wouldn't have had these months with Naleigh that have just sort of solidified our relationship."

"I needed that to happen," she continued. "I really needed her to get that I'm her mom. And I needed to show her that, I couldn't just tell her."
Heigl, who adopted Naleigh from Korea last September with her husband Josh Kelley, told ET she hasn't seen the "Grey's" season finale yet, but she plans to catch it soon on i-Tunes -- and she confessed that she can't help but wonder how her character Izzy's tale would have played out.
"As much as I miss my friends [on the show] and wonder what Izzy's storyline would have been in the season finale, I am so, so grateful that I chose to give [Naleigh] this time. She and I needed it."

"She's just getting more and more fun every day, like the walking, the talking and mimicking," added the proud mom. "She's super-goofy and has a great sense of humor which is just awesome for us, because we love to laugh.
"It's been really amazing to have that time with her, for sure, and to be just Mom, and be involved and be in charge," Katherine said. "And so now it's hard to go back to work, but there is a big part of me that's anxious to go back to work."

Certain motherboards are pure junk, and a few are truly outstanding given
their relatively meager specs on the box they ship in. The intel Atom dual
core boards being a case in point. The now almost out of the pipeline
D525MW board, with a gig of ram and onboard intel video being an excellent
example, turning in results consistently under 7 microseconds for a
base_thread jitter when running the base IO thread at a 25 microsecond
repeat rate. The parent servo_thread, running every millisecond, has
similar performance on this board. Testwise while carving metal, I have
run the servo_thread at 2 kilohertz with even better results, and I intend
to raise that a kilohertz at a time until I run out of cpu because it seems
to reduce the detected noise in a quadrature encoded spindle speed control
as it goes up, effectively reducing the quantization errors in such a
software only servo control.
This motherboard, an ASUS M2N_SLI Deluxe is relatively poor despite a quad
core phenom running at 2.1 ghz with 4G of dram.
It is currently reporting the 1ms servo thread as having 15 microseconds of
timing jitter, and nearly 45 microseconds of jitter for a 25 microsecond IO
thread, and the machine is quite obviously 'pegged out'.
This base thread is probably not of interest to you audio people, but many
motherboards will have far worse servo_thread timing dependabilities simply
because the context switch takes too much time. This is of course on an
RTAI patched kernel, but we are about to move to the xenomi patchset, as
its easier to do, is all user-space, and actually working at least as well
as the RTAI patches.
Cheers, Gene
