Q. What can I do to ease the stress caused by cicadas around my home and garden?
Several tactics can help control the damage to young plants:
Cultural Control - Delay planting of new orchards until late summer or fall in the years when adult cicada emergence is predicted. This prevents them from injuring the young plants as they lay their eggs in slits that they cut in the plants.
Cultural Control - Prevent Egg Laying - Nylon netting or cheescloth can be ued to protect trees in small orchards. The netting should have a mesh of no less than 1/4 inch and should be placed over the trees when the first male songs are heard. The netting should be tied to the trunk beneath the lower branches and can be removed after adult activity has ended.
Cultural Control - Remove Eggs - Prune out and destroy young twigs that have been damaged by egg laying within a three week period after eggs are laid. This will prevent newly emerged nymphs from reaching the ground.
Chemical Control - Nurseries or Orchards - Ornamental nurseries and orchards near woods should be scouted every two to three days during the egg laying period to detect incomming females. Sprays may be necessary if egg laying activity is apparent; sprays are targeted against egg-laying adults. Insecticides labeled for use on cicadas include:
carbaryl (=Sevin),
chlorpyrifos (=Dursban, Lorsban),
esfenvalerate (=Asana)
resmethrin.
Fruit orchards using methomyl (=Lannate), oxamyl (=Vydate) or permethrin (=Pounce, Ambush) in a cover spray need not add a special cicada insecticide. Applications of Sevin or Vydate within 21 days after apple full bloom may cause thinning. The use of pyrethroids, Vydate or Sevin is cautioned in orchards because of the subsequent problems with increased spider mite densities due to toxicity to predatory mites.
Chemical Control - Landscape Ornamentals - The insecticides carbaryl (=Sevin) and chlorpyrifos (=Dursban) have products labeled to protect shrubs and trees. Either can be applied about once a week, although blooming plants should be avoided to preserve honey bees and other pollinating insects.
Males tend to have hollow abdomens in order to help them make the cicada sound, and are better as a crunchy snack, like popcorn.
Deep fried cicadas are prefered to be eaten with hot mustard or cocktail sauce. Any sauce used for lobster should also work well to garnish cicadas.
Cicadas can also be roasted, which tends to give them a "nutty", or almondlike, flavor.
Illegal pirated publishing rampages up and down China's publication and cultural market. From January to March this year, there are as many as 6.052 million illegal books, 24.391 million audio-video diskettes, 180 thousand electronic products, 6.19 million cultist books on "Falun Gong" and another 808 thousand on Qigong that have been seized and destroyed.
We can't imagine what serious social consequence would have been produced when should all those illegal noxious things have been freely distributed on the Chinese land.
Illegal pirated publishing is harmful and criminal by nature as it robs the fruits of labor and legal rights of the authors and publishers. By spreading heresies to poison people's minds and racking up the interests of a few, it destabilizes not only social security but also impairs the country's construction of socialist spiritual civilization and its publication industry.
Great damages have been wrought in China without doubt by criminal pirated publishing as we have seen and this is by no means in the way "no harms" have been brought or "no crimes" committed as some people have claimed.
Innovation induces development, means dynamism to advance. Illegal pirated publishing likewise sets back civilization. Concerted efforts are needed to put an end to illegal pirated publishing in China. Providing effective protection over fruits of labor, results of innovation, will encourage people's zeal and consciousness to work to that end. The Chinese government and state leaders have already paid great attention to a complete ban on all illegal criminal publishing in China. There will certainly be no room for any dark dealings like those by a few in China's book publishing in the days to come in the near future.

gave you all the love I got
To the heart and mind, ignorance is kind
there's no comfort in the truth
pain is all you'll find
I gave you more than I could give
Should've known better
I gave you all that I have inside
I feel so unsure
as I take your hand and lead you to the dance floor
And you took my love
as the music dies, something in your eyes
You took my love
and all its sad good-byes
Didn't I tell you
What I believe
Did somebody say that
A love like that won't last
Didn't I give you
All that I've got to give baby
I keep crying
and waste the chance that I've been given
I keep crying for you
There's nothing like you and I baby
When you came my way
Time can never mend
the careless whispers of a good friend
to the heart and mind
ignorance is kind
there's no comfort in the truth
pain is all you'll find
This is no ordinary love
No ordinary love
This is no ordinary love
No ordinary love
I know you're not a fool
You brightened every day
With your sweet smile
so I'm never gonna dance again
the way I danced with you
At times I'd like to break you
Never without your love
And drive you to your knees
Tonight the music seems so loud
I wish that we could lose this crowd
At times I'd like to break through
And hold you endlessly
At times I understand you
We could have been so good together
And I know how hard you try
But noone's gonna dance with me
Please stay
I've watched while love commands you
And I've watched love pass you by
guilty feet have got no rhythm
though it's easy to pretend
I know you're not a fool
At times I think we're drifters
Still searching for a friend
and waste the chance that I've been given
so I'm never gonna dance again
A brother or a sister
But then the passion flares again....
(Now that you're gone) Now that you're gone
(Now that you're gone) What I did's so wrong
that you had to leave me alone

Q: If the UPS man comes to my house to deliver an item I ordered using the internet, and up on receiving said item I jump around and say "I found this item, I found this item" mean that in fact before receiving said item it was in fact "lost", and now I have "discovered" it? Also, if I speak very loudly and repetitively about this incident does that not reinforce the glory of my achievement?
A: Are you the stupidest fucking asshole ever?
The Time: Lunch Break
The Place: Local Filling Station
The Occurance: Local man fills SUV with gasoline. Is parked in such a way that he blocks cars from getting gasoline from other pumps. Fills his SUV with $76.45 of gasoline. One ensconsed in automobile, he immediately lights cigarette.
The Point:If you meet any artsy person or self-described intellectual (or any various degree of dueche defeatist lameass) and they talk about htemselves as being a nihilist, or espouse any kind of nihilist ideas, LAUGH IN THEIR FUCKING FACE. And hip them to the guys across america spending $76.45 on gasoline and then lighting a cigarette. Those are the true nihilists. More nihilistic than 1000 Futurists.
The Epilogue:I returned to work and The Hired Killer was polishing windows. Smooth jazz played in the background.
I think anyone who needs to go to the gas station once a week is quite a bit nihilist
I think anyone who needs to go to the grocery store once a week is quite a bit nihilist
that doesnt make any sense
yeah that was grocery store comment was pretty dumb
What is sense if not sensed by those who are sensible?
how is going to the gas station nihilistic? I mean i can understand about some dude in a suv, but making a blanket statement is pretty stupid. these poofs are outta their heads
Living in the city sure aint a pity:(I know you shreek whenever their wheels squeak) but bicycles are nicycle, plus theres always the CTA whether or not your gay
You know, not only do i see a pattern, I...
you?
I think there some bullet points to be adressed, but first...
Allow me to interrupt there.
this is all very cute but yr too full of dots Im goin outside
Goodbye then. We hardly knew ye.
well done.
Aww but nothins cuter than a poof!
I love poofs!
the title of this post is misleading. i thought this was going to be something i could jerk it to.
Sorry Jackie!
i kid i kid.
why aren't you online? come keep me company for minutes..... many minutes.
actually i understand if you aren't online, because i feel internet boredom coming on soon, so ignore that request.
i had a dream that you called me on the phone last night and we talked. it was the least exciting dream i've ever had.
Oh, regarding Poof N Pouf (The Tapes N Tapes of blog commentators?, you be the judge!), valid points all.
But does one see a distinction between people who have jobs or any other number of situations where one needs an automobile and uses gasoline as sparringly as they can vs. the arrogant individual who obviously has no concern for golbal environmental matters? As for living in the city, the city doesnt even have a recycling program!
There are people (some you might even know personally) who feel being against the war doesnt have to include protesting in the street, but rather an awareness of the reasons why the war is a horrible mistake and ability to express such ideas in any number of private or public ways.
So...using that logic making a blanket statement about ANYONE using a gas station is a bit careless. I mean the intentions are good, and that counts of course.
Then again why am i talking to some poof?
Generalities are for the Generals, ha ha ho.
the city is working towards recycling:http://www.chicagorecycling.org/index.php
as for your distinction statement. talk about generalizations... maybe that guy was halling shit to a construction sight or on his way to picking up a gaggle of old people with alzeimers from a nursing home and taking them to the park. it sounds crazy but maybe its true, no?
and at the end of the day--the difference between yr gas purchasing activities is about 15-20 bucks.
and you know damn well why you are talking to some poof.
I just think its ironic that you can complain about this shmo at the gas station however whenever I am in the car with you and liz and we pass someone on a bike, using a bike to get to their destination, you both have 30 seconds worth of abusive comments to roll out.
i truly have no idea why I am.
as for recycling it's 2007! Not 1989! Im not that impressed.
as for generalizations, this guy was blocking little old ladies (and anyone else around him) from getting gas, walking to where the attendant was etc. He wasn't hauling anything, he certainly didnt look like he was dressed for a blue collar job o' work. if he was such a dandy fella he easily could have turned his car around and parked properly, or did what i did, drive around the block until a spot opened up.
No this guy was sprawled all over thinking of himself first, and GLARING at anyone who came to close to his SUV (and im talking about said lil ol ladies who were ON FOOT, not to mention people in cars trying to navigate around his dumb arse).
15-20 bucks? Try 50 bucks pal! Certainly a big difference to me. Thats 2+ trips to the gas station!
Waste=food. And that's all I'm gonna say about that. Recycling is just putting Orajel on an abscess, what we need's a damn root canal.
Man, have I been to the dentist too often lately...
Oh the bike comments are a fucking joke. If i could figure out how to ride one, id come to work every weather permitting day that way. Im pretty envious of the people who do. If for no other reason its outstanding exercise.
What DOES bother me are the folks on 25th Ave on bikes who could easily hop over to the unoccupied sidewalk (its all factories around there, so theres not like pedestrains all over), but instead insist on inserting them into the one lane of traffic.
oh, he was blocking people and being rude? oh , well I take it all back.
as for 1989 or whatever. Indeed. Their is still effort being made. it is not like you to shit on that with cynicism so maybe lets stop talking about this here?
thy dont seem like jokes and Ive never been on 25th ave with you.
they
Also, perhaps Im naive but i was astonished someone managed to spend 76 bucks on gas! I didnt even know it was possible. Thats such an absurd number. Topped off with his lame ass attitude and further topped witht he fact that he lit a cigarette. like what is he thinking? hes fucking bullet proof? cancer wont kill him, the environemnt wont kill him etc. Or more realistic he doesnt care! Hence the nihilism.
I'm getting a bike, Rich, though I'm probably just wasting my $50. I'll have to get training wheels for it I'm sure.
I'm so glad to know that there's at least one other person on the western hemisphere who can't ride a bike.
and no i think its lovely chicago is going to get a program together. But like the bush administration just beginning to acknowledge enviromental problems, its a little late in getting the wheels in motion.
ive never been able to figure it out. I last tried two summers ago. A truly embarrassing affair lasting about an hour. The furthest i got was about 5 feet.
And Tim, when liz and i talk shit about people on bikes its the guys on 25th Ave who are in my mind. So i can see why it doesnt come over all humourful. but for christ sake, seriously, you really think id be REALLY angry about people taking bikes vs driving?
yes its late, but not over, Jesus! yr quite the fucking judge
judge of what? its a fact- its a little late in the game to start a program. thats that. i didnt say "oh those assholes shouldnt even bother". its nice theyre doing something, but im NOT IMPRESSED. how is that judgemental?
'late in tha game' just sounds like too late
Things sure are lively here today. I wish I had some popcorn.
well its about to die off! haha
tim called and as we all know blog communication isnt always the best. and my "late in the game" term caused some serious (and understandable) cognitive dissonance for him. So we clarified a few things tossed a few questions n concepts around etc. its funny when this kinda stuff happens, cause what gets reinforced to me is how much people on here actually do agree on things and how non-divergent we are. it sure comes off the opposite if you didnt know us personally.
but you know figuring these things out always promotes good discussions and great understanding so ultimately its worth it, and thiank god we have free communication and trust each other not to lie or be lameass.
Amen. Leave the lameassness to the polluters and the shooters.
i had bikes at one time, but they always got stolen in madison. it was a good way to get around there... except i'm sure i was a prick on the road because once i got on that seat i was a speed monster.
so yay bikes for all! i wish i never had to drive a car again.
and drunk bicycle riding is better than sex.
true dat.
wow you totally said true dat
twas
my fingers are stinging!
Though I do have to stand by my original point. Living in the city can lower ones gasoline dependence by 75-100%. The only exception is what Rich pointed out: those who need to travel very far for work. and that can be quite a rarity these days
Actually, Ive seen a bunch of reports lately showing that more people have to travel farther than ever to work.
No matter, in my case, if I took public transportation, Id be looking at around 2 and a half hours to and from work every day. It's just not feasible. If I lived in the city, it could be a different story though.
I for one never disputed that point, the only people who have lived in the city that ive known who had cars were like Rommell in the desert. The cars were a huge expense and a huge albatross.
ahh, those reports...
...no, i get the last word
NYYYYYYYYYAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
you get the last word.
