I have several shp files ordered in the display manager. Three Polygons, one line and one point shp. the problem is that the bottom polygon that is supposed to draw order last continues to show up above all other files during plotting to PDF or other digital file. I have tried to disconnect and reconnect the problem shp, reorder several times but nothing changes. This is making it impossible for me to plot a file in the way is it being displayed.
Try to toggle the "plot paperspace last" radio buttion in the plot dialog. (?) Just a guess on my behalf.
You can override the Display Manager stack, by means of this nice lisp, sir.
I Could not find a solution and can not spend any more time troubleshooting the problem. I got it to work once through disconnecting all objects and reconnecing in the order I wanted them to display. However, when I went to theme them the problem returned. service pack 1 was installed prior.

You old LISP does not work with FDO features, FDO display does not use the AutoCAD layers table like you would think.
I Appreciate thefeedback on the display order problem and I also contacted support which recommended REGEN and display ordering. Tried both of those without success. Ended up using an oldschool workaround by attaching the trouble shp as dwg and query..alterprops..hatch..draworder for the same results.. If I find the cause I will post back.
I had the same problem, resolved by changing the draw order in Groups and in Draw Order from Task Pan, than right click on the shape/sdf and Refresh Layer (try all, the one you want to have on top refreshing the last), if that does not work than: MAPUPDATEMAP

(Updates shares in second paragraph.)
June 22 (Bloomberg) -- Adobe Systems Inc., the largest maker of graphic-design software, declined the most in nine months after reporting that second-quarter sales in Europe were $10 million to $15 million less than it had anticipated.
The stock fell $2, or 6.3 percent, to $30.01 at 4 p.m. New York time in Nasdaq Stock Market trading, for the biggest drop since Sept. 22, 2010. The shares have lost 2.5 percent this year.
San Jose, California-based Adobe dealt with uneven overseas sales in the second quarter while readying a new version of its flagship Creative Suite software. Europe was weaker than anticipated primarily because customers in Scandinavia and the U.K. held back purchases, Chief Financial Officer Mark Garrett said on a conference call yesterday.
"Adobe reported subpar fiscal second-quarter performance due to weaker than expected European business, which offset better than expected Japanese business," said Yun Kim, an analyst with Gleacher & Co. in New York, in a report today.
The company yesterday reiterated its forecast that sales this year will grow by 10 percent, including the slowdown in Europe.
The earthquake and tsunami in Japan, Adobe's second-largest market, shaved $10 million from sales in the quarter, less than the $50 million the company projected in March, Garrett said.
Profit Tops Estimates
Profit excluding certain costs in the second quarter, which ended June 3, rose to 55 cents a share, Adobe said in a statement yesterday. That compared with the 51-cent average analyst projection in a Bloomberg survey. Revenue increased 8.5 percent from a year earlier to $1.02 billion, topping analysts' estimates for $995.7 million.
In the current quarter, profit before some expenses will be 50 cents to 56 cents a share, Adobe said. That compares with a 54-cent average analyst prediction. Revenue will be $1 billion to $1.05 billion, the company said, while analysts had estimated $1.02 billion.
Chief Executive Officer Shantanu Narayen has been seeking ways to generate more recurring revenue and make Adobe a bigger provider in software development for smartphones and tablet computers. The company also is adding tools that help developers write code for websites and applications that run on mobile devices, lessening dependence on its mainstay Flash programs, installed in virtually all personal computers.
Creative Suite
Adobe last month released Creative Suite 5.5, a collection of Photoshop, Dreamweaver, InDesign and other software to help designers lay out documents and publications, adjust photographs and create digital drawings. The new version lets users pay for the products monthly or yearly at prices much lower than for unlimited use of the full suite.
Creative Suite 6 is scheduled to be released next year, and will include a new version of Photoshop, which wasn't updated in version 5.5, Narayen told analysts. Adobe will eventually release applications from the suite to run on tablet computers, Garrett said in an interview yesterday.
Adobe is trying to encourage developers to use its Flash Internet video and animation software to build mobile applications, and has been clashing with Apple Inc. over access to its iPhone and iPad devices, which don't run Flash.
Adobe updated its Flash tools on June 20 to make it easier for developers to write code that runs on Apple's iOS mobile operating system. It plans to start testing an HTML-creation tool called Edge next month.

: With the availability of water for irrigation has become a major problem now following monsoon failures, Collector C. Samayamoorthy has urged the farmers to switch over to latest irrigation techniques with attractive subsidies while saving huge quantity of water.
In a statement, Mr. Samayamoorthy said successive monsoon failure and consequent severe drop in the groundwater table in the district had collectively compelled the farmers to shift to drip irrigation and sprinkler systems that save huge quantity of water while ensuring desirable yield.
The State Government, which gave a maximum subsidy of Rs.43,816 till last year, has increased the grant to Rs.1.85 lakh for cultivating vegetables on two hectares.
Under the micro irrigation section, the district will get subsidy for installing micro irrigation systems on 1,090 hectare.
While small and marginal farmers can get 100 per cent subsidy for cultivating the crops on 872 hectares with micro irrigation systems, big farmers will get 75 per cent grant for their farming operations on 218 hectares.
Small and marginal farmers will get Rs. 1.85 lakh for vegetable cultivation with drip irrigation, Rs. 1.23 lakh for banana, Rs. 51,438 for mango, Rs. 32,323 for coconut and Rs. 44,387 for lemon and amla cultivation.
Aspiring farmers may contact the Horticulture Officer or Assistant Director of Horticulture concerned to register their names by producing certificate recognizing the applicant as small or marginal farmer, family card, computer patta, land sketch copy and the estimate provided by the drip irrigation system supplier, Mr. Samayamoorthy said.

Amid all the drama and upsets that have rocked this year's Wimbledon, one man seems to have sailed serenely through it all.
So it comes as little surprise that, while Andy Murray punished himself with ice baths and tough talk from his coach Ivan Lendl, the laid-back world No 1, Novak Djokovic, took time out the day before his semi-final to meditate under a tree, outside a Buddhist temple.
Volunteers at the Buddhapadipa Temple, which is located in beautifully landscaped grounds just a short walk from the All England Club, confirmed that Djokovic visited the centre around midday yesterday.

DHA is a long chain polyunsaturated omega-3 oil. It is an essential fatty acid, meaning that the body does not produce it by itself and it must be obtained in the diet. DHA is one of the most prominent essential fatty acids in the brain and in the retina. DHA has been found to be very important for fetal brain development, as well as the brain development of infants and children.
Omega-3 Oils ,including DHA, may also help cardiovascular health. Supportive but inconclusive research shows that consumption of EPA and DHA omega-3 fatty acids may reduce the risk of coronary heart disease.

Explaining Southern California's economy
How to succeed in business: Get technical?
José Goulão/Flickr
A meeting of computer programmers.
On Monday, I posted about a new startup called Codeacademy and whether it makes sense to think of programming as an essential skill, right up there with reading and writing and math. I based the post on thoughts offered by Fred Wilson, a New York-based venture capitalist at Union Square Ventures, at his blog, A VC.
But another USV guy, Andy Weissman, also posted on Codeacademy (at the separate USV blog) and commented on my post (making good use of Disqus, a commenting technology that USV has invested in).
Yes, it's a bloggy, bloggy world.
Anyway, as if on cue, this story appeared in the New York Times — it's all about how the advertising business is desperate for people with "quantitative" skills:
A talent gap is growing between the skills that many new advertising jobs require and the number of people who have those skills. The dilemma, one familiar to many industries across the country, is particularly acute for jobs that require hard-core quantitative, mathematical and technical skills....The talent pool, advertising technology company executives say, is not a deep one. And those who have the skills are in high demand, often fetching annual salaries that can reach $100,000.
The Dodgers, the McCourts, Bud Selig, and the dictatorship of Major League Baseball
Kevork Djansezian/Getty Images
Frank McCourt has lost control of the Dodgers franchise as Bud Selig and the Major League Baseball association has seized ownership.
It's not clear to me that big-time sports is a business in any meaningful sense of the term. It seems based on economic principles drawn from the pre-capitalist era, when circuses roamed the landscape and people put their faith in shamans. But the way the Dodgers/McCourt psychodrama is playing out here in LA has led me to revise my view. Major League Baseball isn't even charming in some retro-feudal sense. It operates like a backwater banana republic, ruled by the iron hand of a Maximum Leader, Commissioner Bud Selig.
The sports media seem to have accepted this yucky paternalistic arrangement, which is worrisome. Here's Bill Plashcke in the LA Times:
Bud Selig owes us. The baseball commissioner who allowed a seriously underfunded McCourt to take the team from desperate Fox in 2004 owes us a strong and viable owner this time.
Selig will pick the person, believe me. No sports commissioner has a stronger influence over who is allowed entry in his league. Selig will pick this owner like he has picked other owners, but never before has his selection been more important, more mandated, and more tied to his legacy.
Selig owes us. He owes Los Angeles a well-funded, competitive-minded businessperson who understands that the Dodgers are about a family experience, Hollywood entertainment and, most important, winning.
Invest with James: It's barter time!
Matthew DeBord
After Halloween, James (left) has discovered the value of a barter economy. Lucia (right) looks on in awe.
Welcome to the second installment of "Invest with James," in which we learn about money, personal finance, and investing through the budding example of my almost-six-year-old son, James, who loves money and all that is associated with it.
Yesterday was Halloween, a day that is like Christmas, the Fourth of July, Thanksgiving, and Rio Carnival all rolled into one for my children. My daughter, Lucia, plans for Halloween in an elaborate, multi-phased way, months in advance, that culminates in the Big Night.
James had been more of a bystander. But this year, he discovered that there's something of value in Halloween. And that something is called "candy."
Of course, he knew about the candy. But this year, rather than just eat it, he recognized it for the first time as a medium of exchange and an opportunity to create a market. Yes, this was the first year that he sat down with his sister to trade the sugary haul.
How will small banks handle Bank Transfer Day?
tomblanton1957/Flickr (cc by-nc-nd)
An Occupy Wall Street image for Bank Transfer Day.
Even though Bank of America has made the unusual decision to rescind its proposed $5 debit-card fee, apparently bowing to the consumer revolt that this fee provoked, plenty of customers may still move their accounts to credit unions and community banks on Bank Transfer Day this Saturday. Credit unions are launching efforts to promote themselves to prospective depositors; some are also expanding their banking hours.
There's skepticism that customers really will migrate from big banks to small banks en masse; a previous attempt to spur a revolt, promoted by the Huffington Post, didn't have much impact. And even if hundred of thousands of customers make the move, that's unlikely to significantly damage large banks, like BofA, Wells Fargo, and Chase, which have billions in deposits. There would need to be a Bank Transfer Day...pretty much every day to make a difference.
Reportings: MF Global; Yahoo takeover; debit-card fees; Tribune bankruptcy
Person using debit card
MF Global, the bankrupt wannabe global investment bank run by Goldman Sachs alum and former New Jersey governor Job Corzine, may have been mixing client money with its own funds, a definite no-no: "'While we are unable to determine the precise scope of the firm's violation at this time, we are investigating the circumstances of the firm's failure,'" [Chicago Mercantile exchange CEO Craig] Donohue said in a conference call about his company's quarterly financial results. (LAT)
Henry Blodget still wants to be the CEO of Yahoo, but now he wants the board to resign — because that's what Steve would demand: "Steve [Jobs] taught many people many things, and one of the things he has now taught me is that you need to set your terms upfront. Especially when dealing with a board that is, slowly but surely, destroying a once-great company." (BI)

Gateway Villetaneuse Footbridge Unfurls Like a Leaf Over Train Tracks Outside of Paris
Posted By Bridgette Meinhold On April 10, 2013 @ 5:12 pm In Architecture,carousel showcase,gallery,Green Transportation,Sustainable Building | No Comments
The transportation network around Villetaneuse was recently upgraded, and though it was necessary, the project unfortunately created a division in the town's pedestrian network. DVVD [4] designed a footbridge [7] to reconnect the two sides of the town while providing a new way to access the train station. DVVD also sought to make the bridge a natural extension of the urban fabric and a recognizable landmark.
The steel and wood bridge sprouts from the ground and curls like a blade of grass or a leaf. The bridge is open at either end and it curls up in the center to protect passengers from the elements, exposure, and the sound of the trains. The 156-meter-long bridge is 8 meters wide and it accommodates foot traffic as well as bikes. FSC-certified [8] wood was used for the exterior cladding and floor boards to extend the bridge's natural appearance. The bridge recently won the 2013 Architizer A+ Jury and Popular Vote Award in the Architecture + Mobility category [9].

Read Current Embedded Player Volume using Java?
OK, I have an embedded media player with the usual controls (play/pause, volume, full-screen mode, and track progress bar).
Does anyone know of a way to read the user's current volume level using Java? I don't mean the user's system volume or the volume on the physical knob of their speakers, but the on-screen player's volume setting (for an embedded JW WMV player, to be specific). I want to have Java effects for my page that are volume-dependent. It seems like this should be possible but my googling so far has been fruitless.

Kim of New York, writes:
After several months of negotiation, I am finally getting a replacement mattress for my year-old Statehouse, which an inspector certified in April as having replacement-worthy body depressions. The replacement I am getting is called the Meribal, which was authorized by Stearns and Foster rather than by Macy's (it appears from their website that Macys is no longer carrying Stearns and Foster--is that correct?). It really surprised me that a brand like Stearns and Foster would have this problem, and I am even more surprised to see more than one website posting here about this. Can you give us all some advice--is there something we as consumers can do to prevent these body depressions from developing? My old mattress has really disrupted my sleep, and it is a pain to try to get the replacement. Thanks.
Hi Kim. Body impressions are to be expected with any mattress. And while S&F is less of a problem, their biggest problem is with the thicker, softer mattresses, as it is with any line. The best thing that you, as a consumer, can do....is to change your mind set. The American consumer's taste for "more" and "luxury", has fueled the increase in the number of expensive mattresses that don't keep their shape. When it comes to mattresses, you confuse quality with quantity and expense. This is a perfect example of getting less, by buying more than you need.
Now, aren't you sorry you asked?

Thank you for your time and help.
The tower of trials
(2nd Chapter)
Sion was woken up by the mage that travelled with him, they were walking for days, two weeks if Sion wasn't wrong, he was wondering if they would ever stop walking when the mage suddenly stopped in the middle of a forest, and for the first time Sion heard his voice:
"Are you ready?"
Sion waved affirmatively, the mage said some words that he didn't understand and in that very instant one gigantic tower rose right before his eyes. Sion observed the amazing black tower for some time, until he was awoken by the mage's voice:
"What are you waiting for? Enter the tower and fulfil you destiny.
Sion looked to the place where the mage was and when he was going to ask what the mage meant with "Fulfil you destiny" he noticed that the mage was no longer there, he was gone. Sion stood there some minutes thinking and looking to the tower, then he opened the tower's huge gates and entered.
The tower's interior was dark and cold; it took him some time for his eyes to get used to the darkness. He was in a small and empty room, there were some troll statues, looking strangely alive, perfectly aligned forming a corridor to some stone stairs leading up. Sion stepped away from the gates and started walking in the direction of the stairs, suddenly a very loud noise was heard, like something had exploded from behind him, Sion looked back and he saw that the gates had closed and short after they disappeared. He took in a big gasp of air and thought "Well I can't go back now" he continued trough the corridor until he reached the stairs and started climbing them, his steps echoed in the empty room has he climbed.
In the end of the stairs there was a door, Sion opened it and tried to see what was inside but the room was covered in complete darkness.
"yaw ym thgil!" - said Sion in the magic ancient language as he opened his right hand, he felt the energy flowing trough his body and then he released it.
One ball of light emerged from his open palm and started floating over his back. In spite that this magic was easy and Son could perform it lots of times without getting tired, other magic's would leave him completely tired and that was the biggest danger he had to face in the tower, not knowing what to do and waste large amounts of energy hopelessly leading him to a certain death.
He examined the room carefully, in its centre there was an abysm that looked like endless and the only way to get to the other side was a narrow bridge made of rope and wood. In each side was a Minotaur statue, once again the statues looked strangely alive but he confirmed has he got near that they were really made of stone. He carefully started crossing the bridge that trembled with every step he made. When he was halfway Sion heard the sound of an animal breathing, he looked back and saw the statue moving in its direction with an axe in it's hands. When the statue stepped on the bridge it trembled very hard menacing to ruin. Sion started walking back to run away but in the moment that he turned he saw the other statue right behind him. He dodged right in time to prevent the axe from chopping his head off. He walked back trying to think in what to do but he knew that he didn't had much time left, the other statue was nearing him. He was trapped in a bridge by two statues and as if that wasn't enough the bridge menaced to ruin at any minute. He tried to calm down to concentrate but he had no idea, desperately he raised his hand in the direction of the statue that was in front of him and screamed:
"Llams erif!"
He felt that well known feeling from the energy rushing trough his body and then one fireball flew from his hand and crashed into the creature, the statue did not stop not even trembled it simply continued walking in his direction. Sion had wasted energy, he kept walking backwards without knowing what to do, soon he wouldn't have anywhere to go, he was a little more than one meter from the creature behind him. He rushed his thoughts trying to find a solution but no idea came to his head, until he thought of something that might work, he raised his hand in the direction of the creatures axe in his front and said:
The axe flew from the statues hand and stayed floating some metres above its head. The creature looked up disoriented looking for its axe and it felt on top of its head crashing it and making a loud noise, then the remaining of the creature fell onto the darkness bellow. The other statue just kept walking towards Sion without even making a sign of have noticed the other one being destroyed. Sion ran to the end of the bridge and the statue ran after him, when Son got to the other side of the bridge he stopped, looked to the creature and laughed then he pointed his hand to the ropes sustaining the bridge and said:
"Ssorc tuc!"
One sharp ray, which looked like the moon in the first quarter, flew from Sion's hand and cut the ropes, without the ropes sustaining it, the bridge ruined. The statue roared in hate as it felt in the nothingness, short after the noise stopped and Sion turned it's back to go away but then he realized of one little detail that he didn't noticed when he started crossing the bridge, on this side there was nothing, there wasn't a door not even an small opening, nothing…
Once again Thank you for reading "Dragons Legend" 3rd chapter!I very much appreciate it.

1997 Toyota Supra Turbo 2dr Coupe
Well at last earlier this year after many years of saving I finally own my Dream-Car. It is a 1997 Toyota Supra Twin Turbo Jewel Green with Gold Package very rare and I bought it with only 64K original mileage. All I can say is this car has such amazing build quality and is so quiet and solid that sometime I forget that this car is 13 years old it is that well built. Also what makes this car so timeless is its amazing shape I get compliments all the time and people always ask me when did this car come out I have not seem it in the Showroom floor and when I tell them that its a classic Toyota they never believe me. Overall they are amazing to own and a very very special car to have.

From the second generation from the mid-80's the supra has been my dream car. I found this in 02 with about 22000 K on it. I was looking for a manual, but this was the cleanest Supra I could find. Not a scratch. In the last seven years it has been perfect. It never fails to please. Other than 1 02 sensor, I have not had a single problem. It has ample power w/o the turbo and it s amazing how well it hugs the road.

This is my 3rd car after owning all Acuras. I can say that I am proudly a Toyota (eventually Lexus hybrid) owner for life! Take it to the track and take your girl out to dinner in the same night. Turns heads everywhere, and the sky is the limit when it comes to engine tuning. Literally, everything in this car can be upgraded. The car was built way ahead of it's time. I have a hard time believing that it's a 97 and not an 07. It makes a great circuit or drag racing car. Or you could just let it sit in the garage and watch it go up in value! There's a very large Supra enthusiast community like the Mustang or Camaro. This car has been extremely reliable for me even after adding HP!

Have my '97 15th Anniversary Edition Turbo since June of 97 and love every mile. Very reliable no issues so far other than normal wear and tear. Tan leather seats stain easily. Cruising road and wind noise rather high. Bumpy ride with my 18s you feel every little ripple on the road but the car handles like it was a part of you. Awesome brakes and cornering ability.

I feel that this is the best sports

RELIABILITY, performance, comfort.
Never had any problems with this car,
aside from normal wear and tear. It's
extremely reliable. In addition, it's
very comfortable and performs better
than most new cars on the road today.
To think, this car was first made over
10 years ago. Edmunds pricing is
incorrect (too low) - at those prices,
I would purchase two. Although it
carries a premium, one drive and you
will see why. A lot of people upgrade
the performance on these cars, but I
like the way it performs from the
factory - why mess with perfection?

Keep Chenango Valley Free of Snowmobiles
We believe that snowmobiling at Chenango Valley State Park will be a high impact to the tranquility of the park and and would be out of character with the natural setting the park offers. Snowmobiling would be a detriment and potential danger to wildlife and those doing low-impact winter activities such as cross-country skiing, snow shoeing and hiking. Unplowed roads are more appropriate for snowmobiles than the existing hiking and bike trails in the park. We feel the park is not large enough to accomodate snowmobiles without a serious loss of enjoyment by those who currently use it during winter in a low impact way today.

Special thanks to Mendopete for mentioning the use of burlap in bins. I cut a piece, folded it to make 4 layers and laid it on top of my bins. I then added a layer of composted cow manure, fruits and veggies and soaked it with ACVT. Not only do the worms seem to enjoy playing in the burlap, it makes harvesting very easy, as I just lift the burlap up and out and let them all slide off into a tray. - Jim |

I think the The Burlap Effect is caused by the combination of air, moisture, and surface area (in the burlap) for microbes. The stuff does sound magical. |
Jim, welcome to th burlap fan club. It will always have a place in my woem systems. |
HI All; I done an experiment in breeding worms using burlap to get cocoons that were easy to harvest. Make 12-15 layers folded and stapled and cut one edge so it can be like pages of a book. wet/dampen burlap and put 50 worms in each page and feed with oatmealuncooked just sprinkled lightly with egg shell powder mixed with oatmeal spritz with plant mister. After 8-10 days harvest cocoons. I fed every other day or so. when ever oatmeal was gone. |
Here is a link that might be useful: breeding worms in burlap
Where do you get burlap? I found a price of $219.00 for a 12 inch by 12 ft. roll. Seems rather expensive. Dave Nelson |
- Posted by equinoxequinox (My Page) on Fri, Aug 27, 10 at 23:15
No, no, no. The reason things are packed in burlap is because it is or should be cheap, cheap, cheap. 50#'s of potatoes should be in them. That must be some kind of exclusive designer burlap. But then again even cheese cloth I have seen has been expen$ive. Nothing to do with vermicomposting should be $$$. Designer worms? Cool brands of vermicastings? Not to do with this post but along the same thought process as far as the peat vs coco fiber debate please include the cost and carbon foot print of shipping. Then tell me about the moral issues when the real facts are known. |
Dave, I love using burlap with worms, but I would not consider that price! Find a coffee-maker and hit 'em up. I get organic coffee-bean bags free by the dozen. They are about 12 square-foot of material each. I began using them because they are free, and they replaced old carpet that was rapidly decomposing. I also cover all my compost piles in burlap when they cool down. It is very useful gardening material. Pete |
My local fleet/farm store has used coffee bean bags for under one dollar each and they are big bags. Check out sporting goods stores there is burlap material used to construct hunting blinds. This burlap is printed with camo patterns and comes in a roll about 3-4 foot by 25 foot for about 20 dollars, and while it cost more than used coffee bean bags It surly Is cheaper than Dave found. Keep hunting! Curt equinox; I agree |
I regularly buy bean coffee and snacks at a free trade coffee store. They have lots of burlap bags for sale but I think they ask about $3.75 per bag. I hope I can remember to ask next time I go there. Dave Nelson |
Hi All; You can find burlap at any good garden center. The one I use sells 25,50,100,200,500 foot rolls 3' wide. I don't use muck just to experiment with for the most part. |
lkittle- I like that book idea! I got mine on Ebay. It's made by Dewitt. - Jim |
Hi All; I just thought that with the other thread about cocoon harvesting and shipping to friends the burlap might help with some of the seperating out of the cocoons. It also gives a way to see the little buggers more quickly. I got the idea from C Morgans little books the books make a good little infromation liberary. I have all of his books for a referance liberary. |

How long do you leave the burlap with the "goodies" in it for the worms to migrate up into it? I'd like to try it, but I'm wondering how long it would need to sit there for most of the worms to migrate into it. Deanna |
Deanna, I do not add food to the burlap. I just soak it and lay down on top of the bed. I put food under it. Yesterday I soaked a new bag in AVCT for about 10 minutes, let it drip for a minute, and placed over the top of my older burlap. Today it looked like a pin cushion with worms dangling out of the weave. I usually see mature worms in the material until the cocoons start hatching. This occurs when the material is falling apart. Pete |
Deanna- I use manure and food on top and the worms are in it the next day. I did two harvests this way. The burlap showed wear on the second, but it looks like I was able to remove about 1/2 the worms out of the bin. - Jim |
I used to use burlap regularly to harvest. Lay the burlap on top of the new bin. Spread inch or so of vc and worms on top of the burlap under a light and they naturally migrate through into the new bin. Have a coffee or do some housework, come back, scoop the castings into your storage container, spread out some more dirt with worms, and leave them alone again. The burlap doesn't last long, so I now use an orange bag that large bags of carrots and onions comes in. Works the same easy way for harvesting, and lasts longer. |
I was going to mention the good use of burlap again for new worm farmers to catch up but thought bumping this thread would be better. I'd like to add: maybe another reason why worms like burlap so much to leave their cocoons in, the holes between the weave aided them to shed their cocoons. When it's time to shed a cocoon, just reverse their gear and voila! |

Ohh I like this. Especially the idea of using burlap for harvesting. I am HOPING to harvest in a month or so. I will ask my favorite coffee shop if they have burlap to spare. I have an old shopping bag on top of my bin now that is burlap-esque but the worms don't seem to take much notice of it. As far as putting it IN the bin, it sounds like some have used it as a cover and some used it as a lining...I wonder where worms like to leave their cocoons most--at the top, bottom, or middle? |

Burlap is not easy to find in my neck of the woods. I saw one at lowes and they wanted $17 for it , what is it made of gold. |
Still a BIG fan of burlap. Great for breeding, harvesting, adding structure to your bin, or just keeping in moisture. My use has evolved, as the coffee bean sacks are first inoculated with fish prior to use in the bins ;) I get mine from a coffee roaster/supplier, not a coffee house. My source goes through double-digit bags every day. Unless a coffee house roasts their own beans, they would not likely have sacks available. Burlap is great and worms love it, but I would not spend much $ for it. |

Just want to track thread. Paul |
mendopete is right about the source for burlap. Starbucks will NOT have them unless you go to where they are roasted. There are several coffee houses here around town that do their own roasting. I have to compete with farmers and produce markets for them. Farmers use them to cover their crop against frost and markets use them to cover their products overnight. Once in a while I managed to get about 15 at a time. However, I think the coffee farmers are switching and use synthetic/weaved plastic sacks instead. Bummer. I am beginning to become a hoarder. What I don't do for worms, sigh. |

Good morning. It is 7:30 am Pacific time. I just want to ask EQ2 if getting burlap at a decent price is worth driving an hour -- each way. ; ) I'll try a little harder closer first, of course. If I make the drive, I could get a lifetime supply. (Craigslist) Since no one reads all the posts, I'll double up: why do people put VC in bags to make tea ? I like straining it after it's bubbled . And I leave it bubbling for a week or longer cuz I have more VC than I need tea from. The result is that the plastic net that the airstone is in , plus the moving water, breaks down the VC to smooth silty mud. Seems that there isn't much left to put back in the bin if I've retrieved the cocoons. Once in a while a few worms are in the net that hatched and grew in the aging VC. TMI to explain my question why put VC in bags to brew ? |

For what it's worth, if I were to drive an hour one-way to buy ANYTHING, I'd probably get 'a lot' of it at one time in hopes of amortizing the cost of travel over many uses. (Your 'lifetime supply'.) BUT... one would have to have the "many uses" for that concept to be valid. Not having made any VC tea myself, I can only speculate that the reason for putting the VC in a bag when 'brewing' VCT is to prevent 'agitation' of the contents of the VC. Again speaking without first-hand experience, I'd think NOT bagging it would better produce the results EYE was after: maximum mixing of VC with all the EXTRA stuff people seem to insist on adding to "VC" tea to make it "good". Like sea weed extract, molasses, etc. The whole VCT 'thing' smacks of voodoo to me. No offence meant to those that practice that form of voodoo. Clearly it has produced some positive results with respect to plant growth. I just suspect that much of the process is unnecessary to the desired end result, and is practiced more because "the experts said so" rather than "if I don't add component "X", it doesn't work as well". I wonder what would happen in a double-blind experiment if "regular" compost (NOT worm compost) was fermented with molasses and kelp extract and used as "fertilzer". I had that 'slap up side the head' by the person that presented the vermicomposting seminar I attended. When I mentioned all the hoops I was jumping through to get "compost", she cut to the point and said: "If it were me, I'd just put the goat manure directly on my garden." The realization of the simplicity of that was a little embarrassing to recognize and acknowledge. Paul |
Burlap is quite useful in the garden as an organic weed blocker. I have built "lasagna style" garden beds in the fall and covered them all winter with the burlap. In the spring the bed was full of worms and dark rich compost. I would not drive 2 hours JUST for it, unless I got a truckload and could use it. Regarding "regular" compost tea, it has been used for a long by gardeners. Manure teas are great, I have used them. It is probably done much more often than worm-poo tea. |

barbararose21101 I imagine along the path to the free burlap are other places you need to go to occasionally decreasing the hour each way just for burlap. |

When I camped (for 5 years ! ) in my Woods on Vashon, I paid $100 for a roll of burlap to stabilize a cut bank. That property is sandy all the way down. Yesterday I retrieved what is left of that roll. It is much coarser than coffee sacks. There is still most of it left. I can't guess how many feet. Suffice it to say I can't lift it. Some rodent has nested in it in the (another 5 years) interim. Under the rhododendrons it should work like bark, or mulch. BTW: I don't get any weed control from burlap: all my weeds thrive through it and under it. And it rots fast. |

I found burlap at menards for $.99 each picked up a few last summer but hadnt used any for my worms till recent in place of a lid on my plastic bins. I was wondering how the change would affect them, they seem fine with it. |
- Posted by barbararose21101 8 (My Page) on Sat, Oct 11, 14 at 1:56
A local Goodwill store had a new, printed, burlap bag for sale for $9.99. |
When adding a new burlap bag to the bin, I soaked it in a bucket of rainwater. The first change the water is sort of dark brown, possibly from the coffee residue. So I usually change at least once. Overnight and worms are all over between the folds/layers. |

Soaking the burlap in rainwater is an excellent idea otis11. I think the brown is from the burlap. The rainwater brings the love (OK ie really many types of organisms which the environment of the bin can then choose which ones work best in which sequence.) I am grateful you share your experience with us. Your methods seem to work and be time tested. And the hints and tips are always easy and logical while not $$$, the way worming should be. |

I just harvested a couple of bins. Since I don't have any burlap on hand I used the netting bag that onions come in. Works great, in that the worms crawl thru the holes into the new bin, leaving the castings on the net. |
- Posted by hummersteve 6 (My Page) on Wed, Jan 21, 15 at 13:51
Ok I have been using the burlap as a cover of sorts for several months now and Ive tried to keep it moist and have even soaked it in water and havent seen any activity with the burlap and Im sure would help if I could keep it moist. But the last few days when checking the burlap bin I have noticed worms going in and out of it . Appears to be large worms medium worms and maybe even very tiny worms. So in spite of my lack of being able to keep the burlap moist they are using it. Maybe some of the natural moisture of the bin is somehow penetrating the bag. Nowadays when I harvest Im not very careful about saving the worm cocoons some slip by into containers. But with the burlap now being used and I just transfer the burlap from bin to bin and always laying on the top bin appears my herd will grow even more now in spite of my efforts. |
- Posted by hummersteve 6 (My Page) on Wed, Jan 21, 15 at 14:37
Pete OK went for broke, following your lead and others since the worms have determined to use the burlap in spite of its dryness and since the only moisture is from the bin itself. Instead of just having the burlap wading up any ole way I cut to fit, then soaked it down with a watering can and for the first time I have liquid drainage. I opened the spigot on my worm factory and let excess run out. Ended up with a full cup of water. Now ,,, as long as my worms dont run for the hills, I mean they are not used to that much wetness. If this was a new bin I would worry but being established guess Im alright. Im thinking this will be much better for my bins now. Thanks again |

The result also ended the Crues' chances of making it a Cup treble of their own this season, as they have already won the League Cup and still have the Setanta Cup final to come.
Linfield went 2-0 up in the first half of the match at Windsor Park with two strikes from Man of the Match Mark McAllister.
Colin Coates pulled one back for Crusaders when he scored from a free kick on 57 minutes, but Michael Carvill replied for the Premiership champions four minutes later from another set piece.
Then with eight minutes remaining Jamie Mulgrew wrapped it up when he made it 4-1 from a Chris Casement pass.
"It might appear a comfortable scoreline but it was far from that - it was a very difficult game, a very tough game," Linfield manager David Jeffrey told UTV.
"First half we knew what to expect, Crusaders were going to be quick out of the blocks, but I thought we coped with that very well."
Six doubles in seven years is fantastic. You win a game of football, you win a trophy - you win a trophy then you make a recordDavid Jeffrey

David Jeffrey
The Blues made a bright start to the match at Windsor Park and William Murphy came close on 14 minutes, but his header was deflected away to safety by the north Belfast men.
Linfield came into the tie more and on 17 minutes they broke dangerously, however Michael Carvill saw his strike saved.
On 23 minutes the Crues had a dangerous looking set piece chance but Gareth McKeown's shot sailed over the bar.
A crucial couple of moments came just after the midway point of the half when, firstly Crusaders had a promising opening which led to a corner.
Adamson came close for the Seaview side with a header but it went to safety.
And then just two minutes later the champions scored.
A neat move developed with Peter Thompson involved in the build-up, and Mark McAllister applied the finish to make it 1-0.
Linfield continued to press and on 31 minutes Lowry came close, but his shot was charged down by the Crusaders defence.
Gareth McKeown saw the space open promisingly for him soon afterwards, however his shot was deflected wide.
However five minutes from the interval, came another critical development, Linfield doubling their lead when McAllister followed up to net after Crusaders goalkeeper Sean O'Neill could only parry the initial shot out.
"Over the moon - I've scored two goals and the team has gone on and won the game comfortably in the end," McAllister told UTV.
"It's my third double since I came here and I'm hoping for more next year."
Crusaders had it all to do in the second period, but they came out fired up and determined to make a game of it with skipper Colin Coates firing over the bar after a goalmouth melee straight after the re-start.
Linfield could have made it three, but Robert Garrett was left with his head in his hands after his volley veered over the bar.
On 55 minutes though the stroke of luck the Crues needed arrived as Coates lined up a free kick from just outside the area.
His effort took a deflection, beyond the reach of Alan Blayney and as the ball nestled in the net, Crusaders had renewed hope.
Manager Stephen Baxter however will have been crestfallen as having got a foothold back in the tie, Linfield re-established the two-goal buffer just four minutes later.
And again it came from a free-kick, Michael Carvill stepping up to arc the ball superbly into the net to make it 3-1.
It was a body blow for the Crues and their hopes of adding the Irish Cup to the League Cup they secured earlier in the campaign.
Jordan Owens thought he had cut the arrears, but was denied by a smothering save from Blayney.
With time running out for the Seaview side, they attempted to apply late pressure on Jeffrey's side but Adamson's close-range header from a dropping ball went wide from six yards out.
Linfield scored their fourth and crowning goal, seven minutes from the end.
Good build-up play down the right saw the ball eventually cut-back to Jamie Mulgrew who shot low into the goalkeeper's left-hand corner to complete the win for Linfield and their 42nd Irish Cup win in all and a second consecutive win over Crusaders in the blue ribbon event.
Crues manager Stephen Baxter was left dejected by the result, but insisted the task in hand now is to lift the squad ahead of next week's Setanta Cup Final.
"We didn't do enough on the day," he lamented. "We had to chase the game (at 2-0).
"Linfield were clinical and we weren't. We have to re-group and re-focus for another massive game next week."

This mini seminar will equip you with biblical tools to use as you seek to encourage with the good words of the Lord. —Sheri Langley, Severns Valley Baptist Church

The Woman's Auxiliary (WA) serves a unique purpose in the life of The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, the oldest institution of the Southern Baptist Convention. WA is a vital part of the life of the seminary, where around 4,000 men and women are preparing for service in Christian ministry and missions.
For over 50 years, WA of The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary has been helping students achieve their goal of being trained to serve our Lord. From its beginning, the major purpose of the WA has been to provide scholarships for women students. WA has changed the world through the giving of hundreds of scholarships for women.
WA also gives support to international students, takes on projects around the campus including The Attic, a ministry for the benefit of currently enrolled SBTS and Boyce students and their immediate families and provides donated gently used clothing for men, women and children as well as household items and furniture.
Our Early History
First born in the heart of the seminary president, Dr. Duke McCall, and supported by his wife, Marguerite, the originally called Woman's Committee was to give a woman touch to the Southern campus. In April 1961, with the help of Mrs. Ellis A. Fuller whose husband preceded Dr. McCall as president of the seminary, the Women's Committee was founded and the first luncheon held on May 17, 1961 with 15 women from churches in Cherokee, Dixie, Seneca, Iroquois, and Shawnee areas attending. On November 8, 1961, an estimated 200 gathered in Broadus Hall for the first meeting. The founders agreed, "Love is something you do" and adopted this as their theme for their work. Years later, the name was changed to the Woman's Auxiliary (WA). The work of WA continues strong to this day.
Our Purpose
The purpose of WA is:
- To provide scholarships for qualified women students
- To enlist informed prayer support for the seminary community
- To minister to Southern Seminary's international students
- To foster the development of the seminary through the active participation of women in projects to enhance the seminary's usefulness to the denomination and to the cause of Christ
- To acquaint women with the facilities, programs, and needs of The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary
- To network women to work together for the cause of Christ

The fourth episode of Mortal Kombat: Legacy took a huge step down in quality from the first three, and while this fifth episode continues the storyline that the fourth started, it isn't quite as bad. It keeps things a lot simpler for one; this is a pretty straightforward assassination plot. There wasn't anything new about merged souls or demon twins that got introduced and poorly explained, there wasn't as much bad acting, and we at least got a little bit of fighting in the opening moments. It isn't all gravy though. The episode starts with an extended sequence of Kitana and Mileena training against each other. It's a capable Kung-Fu movie inspired fighting sequence, but it's shot a bit too dark to look good. When the lack of lighting is coupled with the digital quality of this series' image, it often looks like you're watching the fight through goggles that have had ink spilled all over them. The choreography is good though, and the girls playing the twins pull off the action well, even if I don't know why we're supposed to buy the fact that the two actresses are identical. The fight also works well to establish Kitana as being the superior fighter and Mileena as the jealous black sheep of the family. Only, you know, super black because she's actually some sort of vampiric clone.
Mortal Kombat: Legacy has done a great job of changing things up and staying interesting so far. The first two episodes of the series looked like excerpts from a big budget action film. Then the third was a parody of celebrity news and reality TV. This episode keeps up the intrigue by starting out with some animation. It begins with a fairy tale voice over telling us about the history of some sort of mystical land. We get castles and mountain backdrops, and it's all presented in a stylish, almost water color looking animation. I thought it was an interesting thing to do for a series that has been, up to this point, all about keeping things set mostly in our modern reality. But then the animation transitions into live action and everything goes bad. So bad that, by the end of this episode, I was left feeling a lot less confident about the direction Mortal Kombat: Legacy is going in.

This multitalented model lists for $100 and sells for at least $60 elsewhere. It's new, not refurbished.
The HP Officejet Pro 8500A Plus inkjet all-in-one offers the convenience of Web connectivity, but both business and home users will prefer the Epson WorkForce 840's reduced footprint and versatility.
The Epson WorkForce 840 costs a bit more than the average all-in-one inkjet, but its strong performance and long list of features more than justify its price and CNET's Editors' Choice Award.
Business shoppers and home users alike should check out this printer. Its cloud-printing features, double-sided prints, and the auto-document feeder on top make scanning and copying really easy. And its output speeds are impressive, too.

Cloud access, Wi-Fi connectivity, and an external USB port in addition to the company's mobile printing app make the Epson WorkForce WF-2540 a good fit for smaller work-groups and start-ups with moderate printing needs.
It's refurbished, but don't let that stop you: Epson backs it with an incredible two-year warranty. This is the deal of the year, multifunction-wise.

L On Ribbon, Snow-PR2
Very Rare Issue, Ex: Norweb
The initial proof delivery of the 1864 L on Ribbon cent was 10-20 examples. These coins were either held as die trials or sold to collectors in a random manner. Mint officials probably considered the addition of Longacre's initial to be a minor change that was not worthy of special consideration. It was not until a few years later that the existence of these proofs became known, by which time the advanced collectors who desired examples could not locate the coins. When Henry Linderman began his first term as Mint Director in 1867, the proof 1864 L on Ribbon Cent had already become a hotly desired numismatic item. During Linderman's first term (1867-1869), and continuing for a few years thereafter, many numismatic delicacies were restruck at the Mint. Far from being considered pariahs, the coins restruck during the "Linderman" period are some of the most sought-after issues in all of U.S. numismatics!
At least 10 (and perhaps more) additional 1864 L on Ribbon proofs were struck sometime around 1871, including the present coin. Rick Snow is credited with this discovery by matching the reverse die of the present example with the regular issue proof dies of that year. The unique die lines on the reverse are the same as on proofs from 1869 through 1871, although the 1869 and 1870 proofs were from earlier die states.
Virtually nothing was known about the proof 1864 L on Ribbon Cent until Breen published his work in 1977. Breen mistakenly identified the coins with the diagnostics of the present specimen as the only true proofs. This created a dilemma for the owners and sellers of the other proof examples. Most catalogers described the proofs that did not match Breen's diagnostics as copper die trials, or they conveniently overlooked Breen's research. It was not until the Bowers and Merena Higgins Sale of 1984 that Breen relented and proclaimed that there was a second die pair for the proof 1864 L on Ribbon (the original Snow-PR1 dies). Presently nine examples of that die pair are known. In 1997, Rick Snow identified a third die pair (Snow-PR3) when a unique specimen was offered in Bowers and Merena's Halpern and Warner Sale. Only 10 examples of the Snow- PR2 Indian cent are known, bringing the total to 20 specimens known for all three varieties. Recent auction sales of the Snow-PR2 include the PR65 Red and Brown PCGS coin in lot 3146 of the Pittsburgh Signature (Heritage, 10/2011), which realized $161,000.
The present coin is a spectacular Gem that traces its history to the fabled Norweb Collection. A custom holder from Capital Plastics accompanies the lot, along with a copy of the Norweb catalog by Bowers and Merena (10/1987), where the coin was described in lot 156. It exhibits sharply detailed design elements throughout, with the L on the ribbon boldly delineated. The devices are frosty, creating some elements of contrast with the deeply reflective fields. The well-preserved surfaces retain their original red color with a few highlights of gold. Only a few microscopic specks of carbon are evident. Listed on page 115 of the 2014 Guide Book. Census: 1 in 65 Red, 0 finer (8/13).

With its dancing anchors in royal blue, this blanket by Vik Prjonsdottir is whimsical and charming. It's a perfect statement piece.
This brass dock light has roots back to the shipyards of 19th century London. It would definitely bring a marine feel to a boy's bedroom and would look great on the wall beside a twin bed.
I'm thinking of using this red, white and blue vintage plaid wool blanket on my son's bed. The color scheme is perfect for a nautical-themed room.
Nautical striped sheets in white and navy are the perfect complement to a plaid throw.
This anchor and chain carving would make a great accessory. It's carved from one piece of wood!
This vintage ship print is ideal for an adventure-loving boy's room — beautifully illustrated!
These map cushions, made from original Cold War silk aviator maps, would be perfect as accents on a bed or chair.
The story behind these original found Japanese glass fishing floats is so romantic. They traveled the ocean currents for years until a beachcomber discovered them in Alaska. What a great story to tell a little boy!
I love the red, blue and yellow color of these wire baskets. They would make great toy storage.
I'm thinking of finding a secondhand dresser and replacing the knobs with these pliant jute rope handles. They'll immediately make the piece more seaworthy!
I love using baskets to stow away toys. They're easy to use and look great. This sea grass version would add texture to a nautical-themed room.
This burlap star garland has a beachy feel and would work well in the room. Maybe behind his bed or over his window frame?
I've wanted one of these iconic Noguchi paper lanterns for a while now. This is one of those pieces you will always find a place for in your house and that will last the test of time.
This blue and white flat woven rug with jaunty stripes would be great underfoot!
This sliced chunky wood stool could function as a small seat or side table. Its rough texture and eclectic design echo faraway lands.
Toss this blue awning stripe throw at the end of a bed or over a chair for a nautical look.
These nautical signal flags would make a great wall decoration. Hang one or two of them on the wall or string a whole bunch of them together like a bunting.
These curtain tie-backs would pop against some navy or red linen curtains.
I'm not sure if we have the room for this piece, but it is something that could be hung from the ceiling of the room. I love all the layers of accumulated paint.
