The Life of Constantine with Orations of Constantine and Eusebius.: Chapter XIV
Chapter XIV.—That Created Nature differs infinitely from Uncreated Being; to which Man makes the Nearest Approach by a Life of Virtue.
Surely it must be the very height of folly to compare created with eternal things, which latter have neither beginning nor end, while the former, having been originated and called into being, and having received a commencement of their existence at some definite time, must consequently, of necessity have an end. How then can things which have thus been made, bear comparison with him who has ordained their being? Were this the case, 3439 the power to command their existence could not rightly be attributed to him. Nor can celestial things be compared to him, any more than the material 3440 with the intellectual 3441 world, or copies with the models from which they are formed. Nay, is it not absurd thus to confound all things, and to obscure the honor of God by comparing him with men, or even with beasts? And is it not characteristic of madmen, utterly estranged from a life of sobriety and virtue, to affect a power equivalent to that of God? If indeed we in any sense aspire to blessedness like that of God, our duty is to lead a life according to his commandments: so shall we, having finished a course consistent with the laws which he has prescribed, dwell for ever superior to the power of fate, in eternal and undecaying mansions. For the only power in man which can be elevated to a comparison with that of God, is sincere and guileless service and devotion of heart to himself, with the contemplation and study of whatever pleases him, the raising our affections above the things of earth, and directing our thoughts, as far as we may, to high and heavenly objects: for from such endeavors, it is said, a victory accrues to us more valuable than p. 572 many blessings. 3442 The cause, then, of that difference which subsists, as regards the inequality both of dignity and power in created beings, is such as I have described. In this the wise acquiesce with abundant thankfulness and joy: while those who are dissatisfied, display their own folly, and their arrogance will reap its due reward.
This is following with Heinichen, and meets the conjecture of Valesius as over against the mss. and other conjectures, which, substituting μανία for ὅμοια, read "for if it be madness to liken these things to him," &c.571:3440
Or "sensible"; i.e. world of sense or perception.571:3441
This is the word often rendered by Bag. as "spiritual."572:3442
This is supposed to refer to Rev. ii. 7-10; iii. 11, &c. It might well have in mind Col. iii. 2-4, or best of all Rev. xxi. 7, as containing the thought of victory (νικ€ω = "overcome").

The purpose of this test is to confirm the integrity of the ignition trigger signals sent from the ECOTEC 1.6 Lt. Multec PCM based on the switching voltage and duty present at the ignition amplifier during engine run conditions.
Plug a BNC test lead into Channel A on the PicoScope, place a black clip onto the test lead with the black moulding (negative) and a Back-pinning Probe onto the test lead with the red moulding (positive). Place the large black clip onto the battery negative terminal and probe one of the Electronic Control Module's (ECM) coil inputs with the Back-pinning Probe. Plug a BNC test lead into Channel B, and a Back-pinning Probe onto the test lead with the red moulding (positive) probe the coil pack's other ECM input with the probe.
When these connections are made, the dwell angle and ignition primary pictures will not be displayed as they would on a conventional Distributorless Ignition System (DIS) system. This particular system is used on the GM/Vauxhall/Opel ECOTEC 1.6 Lt. Multec system has an integral amplifier with no external primary connections, making diagnostics somewhat difficult.
This oscilloscope set up can also be used on other external amplifier systems that are switched by an ECM.
Figure 1 shows the two acupuncture probes 'back probing' the coil multi-plug. Due to access the illustration shows the multi-plug disconnected.
The double ended coil differs from many other systems as it has the ignition amplifier built into the coil pack. The coil/amplifier pack will have 4 electrical connections. The pack receives a 12 volt supply from the ignition switch, has an independent earth return and the remaining two connections are in the form of a 5 volt 'squarewave' digital signal from the Electronic Control Module (ECM).
The ECM will receive information from the engine's sensors and calculates the point of ignition by the ECM from its internal pre-set parameter. At the designated point, the 5 volt supply drops to zero volts, signalling the amplifier to remove the earth path on the coil primary, firing the coil.
The coil/amplifier pack has two separate sides (one for cylinders 1 + 4 and the other for cylinders 2 + 3). Using an oscilloscope with dual trace both circuits can be monitored and it can be seen that the coils are fired alternately, as the example shows.
This particular system that is fitted to the 1.6 litre GM/Vauxhall/Opel ECOTEC engine has the ignition amplifier as an integral part of the coil pack.
This particular configuration is a hindrance to those of us who perform diagnostic tuning, as the system does not allow for any connections to the low tension circuit. When the two outer electrical connections are monitored with an oscilloscope a digital square wave is seen and not the expected primary parade picture. The integral coil pack with the built in amplifier will have a voltage supply on the centre terminal at 12 volts with two 5 volt square wave signals to switch the pair of coils.
If the coil's switching is faulty due to a lazy power transistor and the 'normal' induced voltage is reduced, this would, in normal circumstances, be easily seen but with this combination the only clue would be in a reduced spark duration and coil output.

The term Ecotec 1.6 Multec is a bit generic, I do believe what you have there is an Corsa B X16XE engine? You will find Ecotec 1.6 Multec also with Z16XE engines Astra G Vectra B Zafira A, which I assume have an integral DIS with ECM negative fired impulses.

Corpoetics has been picked up on a few blogs around the world, but the one we like best is this Dutch one called Fackeldey Finds, written by Jacqueline Fackeldey. We had to run it through the Babel Fish translation tool to work out what it meant. The result forms a strange kind of poetry in its own right. Here's the introduction to her article (with some added line breaks):
You come them everywhere against,
the splendid sentences and slogans
with which commit themselves recommend.
You a book are able write and that is also exact
what the stylist has done Nick Asbury.
There, as it happens, recently a collection
of poems of its hand with in this poems
appeared based on those sentences.
Hence that Asbury this dichtvorm
and its collection of poems
very appropriate 'Corpoetics' have called.
Not sure what a dichtvorm is, but let's face it, it doesn't sound good.
Jacqueline goes on to include a few poems of her own, which look great, although Babel Fish continues to have its weird way with them. Here's one example:
An open door is called at us `entrance solution'.
And we clean tillen at the level of precise cleaning'
but sometimes us the doubt comes over
in the form of the grindstone for the spirit
because simplicity is' nevertheless `design your own life'?
Sounds like a Steve McClaren press conference.
Anyway, thanks very much for the post Jacqueline. And thanks to Babel Fish for clearing everything up.

Pregnant women who took the antiviral drugs oseltamivir (Tamiflu) and zanamivir (Relenza) during pregnancy did not have an increased risk of adverse neonatal outcomes, according to a study of European registries.
Instead, exposure to neuraminidase inhibitors was linked with a slightly reduced risk of low birth weight (adjusted odds ratio 0.77, 95% CI 0.65-0.91) and giving birth to a small for gestational age infant (adjusted OR 0.72, 95% CI 0.59-0.87), reported Sophie Graner, MD, of Karolinska Institutet in Sweden, and colleagues.
This study included the period of the 2009-2010 influenza A/H1N1 pandemic, the authors noted, when the number of women who took neuraminidase inhibitors during pregnancy "increased markedly" compared with previous years, they wrote in BMJ.
The authors said that they wanted to evaluate risk of adverse outcomes associated with taking antivirals during pregnancy, due to "the uncertainty about the aggressiveness of the next pandemic virus outbreak and the possibility of spreading in vulnerable populations, such as pregnant women, means that preparedness is critical."
Despite limited knowledge of safety and efficacy of neuraminidase inhibitors during pregnancy, the authors said that both U.S. and European regulatory agencies recommended that high-risk patients take neuraminidase inhibitors during the pandemic season, as early treatment of influenza with these antivirals has been linked to reduced risk of infection and admission of pregnant women to intensive care units.
Researchers examined data on women and their infants born from January 2008 to December 2010. The data was collected by national registers in Denmark, Norway, Sweden and the EFEMERIS database from France. Overall, 5,284 women (0.8%) were exposed to neuraminidase inhibitors compared with 692,232 unexposed women. Exposure was defined as having filled a prescription during pregnancy for oseltamivir or zanamivir.
Among exposed infants, 74% of exposure was from oseltamivir. Most women were exposed in the second trimester (2,408), followed by the third trimester (2,196) and first trimester (1,220). The authors said that exposed women were slightly older (≥30) with a slightly higher portion of maternal comorbidities, but a lower BMI than unexposed women.
Overall, there was no increased risk associated with antiviral use during pregnancy and preterm birth (adjusted hazard ratio 0.97, 95% CI 0.86-1.10) or stillbirth (adjusted OR 0.81, 95% CI 0.51-1.30).
The authors noted that neonatal morbidity included only Scandinavian data, but there was similarly no association observed between exposure to neuraminidase inhibitors and increased neonatal morbidity during the first 28 days of life (adjusted OR 0.92, 95% CI 0.86-1.00).
They also examined risk of congenital malformations of infants who were exposed to antivirals in the first trimester, again, using only the Scandinavian data. A higher portion of exposed infants had at least one congenital malformation compared to unexposed infants (3.9% versus 2.9%, respectively), with 0.3% of infants in each group reporting more than one congenital malformation.
But there was no increased risk of congenital malformations linked with exposure to antivirals during the first trimester (adjusted OR 1.06, 95% CI 0.77-1.48). When restricting data to oseltamivir use only, they found similar results, the authors said.
At almost twice the size of other studies that have examined this topic in the past, the authors argued that their study is "by far the largest," and it confirms prior research that has found no association between neuraminidase inhibitors and adverse neonatal outcomes.
Limitations to the data include that due to sample size, the study was not powered to detect specific congenital malformations due to exposure in the first trimester. The authors also cited potential misclassification bias if women filled a prescription, but did not take it, and that there was no information on which women had received vaccination against H1N1 influenza.
The authors pointed out that, "In the studied countries, maternal healthcare is free of charge and widely accepted by the general population. Almost all pregnant women follow the national programs, and post-exposure prophylaxis with neuraminidase inhibitors was recommended during the influenza epidemic of 2009-10 and was distributed free of charge or reimbursed to all pregnant women in Scandinavia and in France." In Norway, pharmacists could dispense post-exposure prophylaxis with neuraminidase inhibitors without a doctor's prescription, they added.
This study was supported in part by the Swedish, Norweigan, Danish and French governments.
Graner disclosed no relevant relationships with industry. A co-author disclosed support from the Novo Nordisk Foundation and the Danish Medical Research Council.

A best Roofing did a great job on our metal roof. It is a complicated roof and it turned out to be one of our best decisions. I like all the people the President of the company is very nice. David next in line is super nice. Tim the project manager could not be better and Sam our salesman was super and Leo and his gang that put on the roof did a superior job and they were all very nice and professional that is why I gave 5 stars. The company can only be as good as the people that work for them and I give this company an A Plus in this department and the looks and quality of the workmanship is awesome.Thank you A Best Roofers for a job well done.
Roof leaks finally got to the inside of my house and a new roof was required. After several estimates I decided to go with A-Best. I was amazed at the courtesy extended to me by the salesman (no pats on the head or "we'll take care of you little lady") and everything put in writing before the work started. Workers showed up at promised time and they did not leave until the work was totally done with no debris left behind! Love this company and will recommend highly every chance I get.
Did a lot of searching to find the best company and A-Best is it. Professional, polite, and very customer service oriented. The made sure every step of the way that we understood and we're happy with the way they were doing it. The finished project is awesome! We have a shop we will be doing next. A-Best is the best for your roofing needs! So glad e chose them!
Where do I begin. So much praise to A-Best roofing I don't know where to start. First day Scott came to evaluate roof totally professional. Said they were a little higher than some but never degraded other companies. Then Chris and Colin worked with us and fantastic job. Roofers were outstanding and we have the most beautiful roof. Word of mouth best advertising and oh will they ever get that. Love this company.
Jason, Mitch and the roofing crew are some of the finest folks in the industry. They are careful to complete the job and are professional in all aspects. Thanks!
This morning I woke up with my roof just one step from disaster. 10 hours later I had a new roof and its FANTASTIC. I would have never believed the amount of work they completed in ONE day. My daughter had new roof done in spring with another company and it took over a week for them. The cleanup afterwards was way beyond what I would have expected. The project manager answered all my questions and concerns. My family, friends, neighbors, facebook folks and whomever else will hear me – You want QUALITY, EFFICIENT, FRIENDLY and KNOWLEDGEABLE folks – talk to A- Best Roofing.
Roofing companies don't always enjoy the best reputation, and most of them show up right after a storm, do the work and then disappear in a cloud of dust. But, A-Best Tulsa seems to be the rare exception. After replacing our roof several years ago, they inspected it again after a recent 80 MPH windstorm and honored the original roofing material warranty by repairing the damage it at zero cost to me. Owner Jim Lane did the right thing. And, Scott Munsinger, Jay Stout, Mitch Crawford, and all the guys and gals in the office and on the field crew were outstanding. I never write public reviews but in this case will make an exception.
My husband and I were very impressed with the rain gutters that Ryan Pelham and Tim Treadaway designed manufactured and installed. They really added a attractive quality to the roof. The gutters are very well made and were installed beautifully. Tim and Ryan were very nice and explained exactly what they were going to do. The job went very well and all the work was done quickly. Although it was very very hot they worked hard and were pleasant. I would defiantly recommend them and ABest Roofing for new rain gutters.
We have had A-Best out twice due to wind tearing off our shingles. They got right on it and unfortunately we asked them to come out again and I know they will. I have had a few houses and had roof's installed. A-best by far honors their warranty and are committed to customer satisfaction.
Your company was a dream to work with. Both "Bens" were pleasant, informative, articulate, and helpful. I enjoyed working with both of them.

This morning one of my training partners said to me and the other Gym Goddess, "You know, when Mitt Romney said that culture matters, I think he was right." I'm paraphrasing, but that was the essence of it. She was referring to Mr. Romney's taking notice of the difference between Israel's economy and that of the Palestinians, and suggesting the cultural differences may account for it. (Please note that the linked story repeats the meme about Romney's "series of gaffes.") That prompted the other Gym Goddess to recall some of the comments by liberals while they were resisting efforts to prevent the subprime mortgage disaster during the mid-2000's that strongly suggested that these clueless leftists didn't think not being able to afford a house should mean you shouldn't get to have one. These comments by these two smart women illustrate a basic truth: what is obvious and logical to liberals sounds like insanity to most Americans, and what is called a "gaffe" by the Left is called common sense by us.
Here's a story from this morning in which a couple of guys on ABC, who no doubt consider themselves "journalists," discuss Mitt Romney's latest "perceived misstep."
The Obama campaign is in full panic mode, as demonstrated by their recent invitation to Bill Clinton to speak at their convention, and so these LSM apparatchiks are working overtime to try to avert the disaster of his defeat. Desperation ain't pretty.

TAMPA -- No official body count has been kept regarding the injury toll that the infamous turf at Philadelphia's Veterans Stadium has taken on NFL players over the years.
Perhaps the most tragic victim was Chicago Bears wide receiver Wendell Davis. In 1993, Davis leaped to catch a pass and landed awkwardly on the hard surface. Davis ruptured tendons in both knees on the play.

ROCKFORD (WIFR) – With about 28,000 students in the Rockford Public School District, it's sometimes hard to know where every child is, especially those that ride the school bus. The District now has a new GPS system that's helping them keep tabs on bus riders.
It's a new sound on District 205 elementary school buses this year. A GPS system that checks in students.
"As the student enters the bus, they swipe their card past the unit, it identifies the time they checked on the bus and when they're back home at night, it checks the time they get off at night," says Transportation Director Gregg Wilson.
It's a more efficient program in case a student gets on the wrong bus or if there's some other confusion.
"If the child wouldn't get off, let's say they fall asleep, it literally can go from our office here, if a parent calls and we can say the child is on the bus," said Wilson.
Veronica Montoya helps monitor the system at the transportation center. Her child also rides the school bus.
"We as working parents always wonder did my child get on the bus in the morning? Did they go to the sitter's in the afternoon? This way with this program, we can look and see what time they get on in the morning and what time they get on in the afternoon," said Montoya.
The unit also shows the speed of the bus and where and how long it stops.
"We've used it where parents call in and say the bus didn't stop we can go in and look and say 'you're right, it didn't stop' and we'll get the driver back there or we can say yes, the bus stopped there and it stopped for 40 seconds," Wilson said.
In addition to the GPS units bus drivers still manually check in students. Kids have their names on those swipe cards as well as color-coded wrist bands to match the number and color on the bus.
The district hopes to eventually expand this program through high school and use it for athletics and other activities that utilize school buses. The GPS system cost nearly $340,000 but the district hopes to eventually save money by reducing the time buses sit, which would cut down on fuel costs.

First you creep and then you fly:>)
Each kind of butterfly or moth is like no other, although they can be very close in appearance. The caterpillars, likewise, may look similar but are not alike. Most caterpillars (sometimes called "worms") are unknown to people, but certain ones, like the Monarch Butterfly caterpillar, tent caterpillars, and the always beloved Woolly Bears are familiar.
Some caterpillars are hairy, some spiny, some smooth. There are a few in a group called "slug caterpillars" that can sting if you handle them and they have some ferocious spines. Others, like the Wooly Bears, have folk lore surrounding them. Some have projections on their backsides that look like tails. Certain caterpillars are crop pests. All are interesting.
A butterfly or moth goes through four stages of development - first is the egg which is commonly laid on or close to a food plant. This assures that when the egg hatches, the caterpillar (worm, larva) has food to eat and can grow. Eggs are attached with a special glue and different types of butterflies or moths lay their eggs in different patterns, some singly and some in rows or other shapes.
As they grow, the skin they're in gets too tight and they must shed. This is called an "instar". The number of instars varies, but by the time a caterpillar reaches the final instar it often looks nothing like the very young version. This picture shows at least three instars of the Milkweed Tussock Moth.
|A caterpillar lives to eat, and it is excellent at that - Olympic quality performance:>)
When the last instar is reached and the caterpillar is ready to Pupate (make a cocoon or chrysalis that protects it while it morphs into the adult stage), it must build a shelter to sleep in. Moths make cocoons and are often on or in the soil, while butterflies make a chrysalis (hard shell) and every species has a house of it's own design. The period of sleep, or metamorphosis, varies and may be up to a year or only a few weeks.
When the transformation from caterpillar to adult is complete, the adult breaks a hole in the chrysalis or cocoon and pushes it's way out. Then it must find a twig or something like that to hang from, and it begins to move it's wings. This is how they pump the wings into their full size since they are born with their wings in a wrinkled wad all crumpled up. The pumping movement makes their blood flow into the wings. The wings gradually harden and the adult is ready to fly, sip nectar, mate, lay eggs - voila! Circle of life is complete:>)
I have a couple field guides to recommend to you if you decide to pursue the somewhat daunting task of identifying the caterpillars you find. For years there were no good guides around, then a few appeared and they are very good.
The smallest and simplest to use is the Peterson First Guides, Caterpillars, by Amy Bartlett Wright, published by Houghton Mifflin Company, 1993. It is arranged by how they look (smooth, hairy, smooth with spines, etc.) and is illustrated with excellent drawings in color. The guide also tells you where to find them, how to raise them, what to feed them. Great for a project with children!
My favorite and by far the most inclusive is Caterpillars of Eastern North America by David L. Wagner. It is published Princeton University Press and is a Princeton Field Guide. This book is nicely laid out with photographs of both the caterpillars and the adult moths or butterflies. It gives a wonderful natural history, tips on identifying them, the range, the food plants, and some ancillary notes. If you don't have a working knowledge of these creatures, you'll end up looking through the whole book to find your prize and identify it. The pictures are so lovely, you won't mind:>) As you use the guide you'll become familiar with where certain caterpillars fall in regard to their appearance and the looking will get easier.
I've made it a goal to find more and different caterpillars this year. Meantime, here are a few from our local area.
|Bagworm on Multiflora Rose
Bagworms are often found on evergreen trees but you amy find them anywhere. I found this one on a branch of a Multiflora Rose. Inside this silken sack decorated with bits and pieces of plant materials is either a female or larva (caterpillar). The little ones hatch from their eggs inside the bag then leave Mom's house to build their own bag-house. When mature, the males leave the bag and fly around looking for love. Females are wingless and legless and stay in their bag even when adult. Bags can be up to two inches in length. The bagworm increases the size of it's home as it grows.
|Saddleback Caterpillar
Although these are not uncommon, I haven't seen one in years - until last fall, that is, when I got stung! This guy was on a small cherry tree that I decided to use as a grasping post as I leaned out over a stream bank to take a picture. He looks none the worse for wear, so I imagine I only brushed the spines. that's enough to give you a hand full of hurt, however. I was on foot and about a half hour's walk from home, so I hoped the sting wouldn't cause more trouble than the immediate pain. It didn't, but without knowing what time would bring, I cut my picture-taking short and walked home. A paste of baking soda and water helped, and in a day it was all gone:>) This is the caterpillar's was of protecting itself and it does work. the caterpillars grow to about one inch long and like to eat cherry, oak, apple, roses, corn, and blueberries. As an adult the moth it is a two-shaded brown critter - pretty but not fancy.
|Appalachian Blue or Silvery Blue caterpillar attended by it's ant keepers. See the white arrow on the right
under the Black Cohosh stem.
These are tiny caterpillars, smooth and hairless, that eat the Black Cohosh buds. They are tended by ants who care for them like we would care for herds of cattle or sheep. They move the caterpillar around to prime feeding grounds and protect them from predators like the flies and wasps that paralyze them and use them for baby fly or wasp food. In return the caterpillar feeds them a sweet excretion from the 7th abdominal segment. This is like maple syrup to us - a much desired, sweet ant food that they earn for all their hard work as caterpillar shepherds.
There are butterflies commonly called Blues, Hairstreaks, Metalmarks, and Coppers that belong to one huge family. Over half of these cooperate with ants - an amazing number of species that have complicated interactions with their keepers. In some species the ants actually take the caterpillars inside for the night and return them to their food source in the mornings. All the caterpillar types tended by ants have a specialized means of creating vibrations in their bodies that run through the food plant to call their ants for help when they need it. A few of these caterpillars live in ant nests and eat the larvae of the ants. Some types of ant/caterpillar relationships are fine unless the ants are hungry, then they'll eat the caterpillar. I believe most have just settled into a mutually beneficial, non-lethal relationship:>)
|Eastern Tent Caterpillars on Pear Tree
These caterpillars are very common, considered pests of fruit trees, and lovely. They build a silken web in the crotch of a tree (never on the terminal ends of branches) and the web is expanded as the caterpillars grow in size. They leave the nest during the day to feed on leaves then return to the safety of the web at night. These are seen in Spring and are not Fall Web Worms which behave similarly. These are fuzzy caterpillars with pretty blue dots along each side; there's a pale streak down their back. The moth is a soft brown with two parallel stripes on the front wings.
I don't have a picture of a Gypsy Moth larva, but they are very like these guys except they have five dots of red behind their head and the rest of the body segments have blue dots. The Woods Tent Caterpillars are a gorgeous light shade of blue.
|Bird Poop Caterpillar (My term)
I call them the Bird Poop caterpillars because, if you don't look closely, they look like bird poop! I guess it's a great camouflage trick. This may be any of a number of field-type butterflies like skippers or even a moth. It was resting under a leaf in the hot part of the day.
|Yellow-striped Armyworm
Isn't this a beautiful caterpillar! You could design a room around these colors. It becomes a small, pale gray or brown moth.
|Common Pug Moth Caterpillar
|I believe this is a Fall Webworm caterpillar and it was eating my ornamental Sweet Potato Vine! Kind of cute, don't you think:>)
Fall Webworms can have anywhere from one to four or five broods a year - less in the cold north, more in the hot south. Their web nests are seen on the terminal ends of branches (not in the crotches of tree branches) and they can be efficient defoliators of whole trees. they are colonial (living in communities of many individuals) and may host many parasitoids of their species - parasitoids are the insects that use the caterpillars as food. They hatch into a bland, white moth.
|Ruby Quaker Moth
|Ruby Quaker Moth on Apple Tree
These are common and quite variable in color/pattern which makes them tough to ID. The become dark brown moth, patterned like tree bark. They eat almost anything they find:>) The moth is dark brown and nondescript.
|This could also be a Ruby Quaker Moth
|Very young Tobacco Hornwork. His "tail" will turn red as he matures.
|Tobacco Hornworm
|Typical pose - Tobacco Hornworm
Although most people call these caterpillars Tomato Worms, they are not. The red "tail" gives them away and we can ID them as Tobacco Hornworms that feed on tomatoes, tobacco, potato, and other members of that plant family. A black tail when they are large means they are the Tomato Hornworms.
Both these wonderful caterpillars can grow up to six inches long when lucky enough to reach their last instar (shedding of the skin). That is just before they pupate (make a case and go to sleep while they turn into an adult moth). Their moth form is a sphinx moth, or hawk moth - large and beautifully patterned on the tops of their wings with many shades of brown. These are sometimes called hummingbird moths because of their wide wings and stout bodies, and there are many kinds, not just the Tobacco and Tomato kinds:>)
They are often prey for parasitic wasps and most of the ones we see on our tomato plants have eggs on them that will hatch and the baby wasps will consume the caterpillars.
|Woolly Bear Caterpillar
|Woolly Bear Caterpillar
|Woolly Bear Caterpillar
|Woolly Bear Caterpillar
Who doesn't know the Woolly Bear Caterpillar? What child hasn't sought them out to play with them and watch them roll into a protective ball? These cuties eat dandelions, plantains, grasses and other low weeds. They weave a cocoon from their own bristles. Almost fully grown caterpillars over-winter in a secure spot (under a log for instance) and make their cocoon in the spring.
The moth is called the Isabella Tiger Moth, and it can have a wingspan of up to two inches. They are a yellow-brown color with a yellow abdomen that has black spots in three lines running down the length of it.
There is an Old Wives' Tale that says the width of the bands can predict the severity of the upcoming winter - not so, say I (and many other people, too). These bands vary in width as they grow with brown becoming more and more prominent as each instar is reached, and it has no predictive value. Still, it's fun and does no harm:>)
|This looks like a Fritillary Butterfly caterpillar to me. We commonly have the Great Spangled Fritillaries around for most of the summer, so I'm guessing this is a baby:>)
Great Spangled Fritillaries are handsome, orange brown butterflies with silver spots on the underwings. They aren't as large as a swallowtail, but they are medium sized. They love the butterfly bushes and milkweed.
|Great Leopard Moth Caterpillar
I just put a large one of these outside today. I found it on the floor - another mystery that will never be solved! They are large and bristled - black with red bands that really stand out when they roll into a ball for protection. When running, they move like lightening:>) They eat an eclectic mix of plants that include cherry trees, violets, sunflowers, plantains, willow, and dandelion - YAY, MOTH! The adults are gorgeous white moths covered with black rings.
|Snowberry Clearwing Hawk Moth Caterpillar on a Honeysuckle Bush
|Snowberry Clearwing Hawk Moth Caterpillar on a Honeysuckle Bush
This caterpillar is dark brown, a coloration less often seen than the yellow-green of most of them. It becomes a day-flying hummingbird moth, and I think they look like little flying crayfish because of the colors. They fly and hover like hummingbirds, and they like to rest one front foot on the flower they're taking a sip from. As caterpillars they like to eat Viburnum and Honeysuckle as well as some other things, and we have plenty of those two favored foods. As adults they drink nectar. The name "Clearwing" comes from the transparent places on the forewings - the scales wear off and you can literally see through the wings.
|American Dagger Moth
These become pretty whitish-yellow moths with a distinctive zigzag dagger shape on the forewings. Caterpillars make a cocoon of their hair and leaves of a food plant then sleep through the winter. They eat willow, maple, oak, and some other trees.
|Banded Tussock Moth
There are a number of different kinds of Tussock moths. The color is somewhat variable but they have these wonderful tufts of hairs, called "pencils" and a dark line down their backs. They eat elm, ash, cherry, apple, and box-elder - trees quite common in our area. It becomes a pretty, pale-colored moth and this gives it a common name of Pale Tussock Moth.
|Hickory Tussock Moth
|Hickory Tussock Moth
This is a white, fuzzy caterpillar with black tufts and spots. They love to eat hickory, but almost any tree will do like pecan, walnut, oak, willow, and ash. The eggs are laid in large numbers so when the caterpillars are quite young you may find many in a small space keeping company. The moth has dark brown forewings with white spots and pale underwings.
|Milkweed Tussock Moth - This one literally ate everything around him!
|Milkweed Tussock Moth - Note the numbers states of development, called instars.
These caterpillars are found on milkweed and seem to like being in the company of many others. Nature seems to decree that any caterpillar, as it grows and needs more food, will eventually separate itself from it's relatives and go off on it's own. I love how these guys are the perfect Halloween colors:>) The moth is plain, kind of tannish, with a bright yellow abdomen that has a line black spots.
|Monarch Caterpillar on Milkweed
|Monarch Caterpillar on Milkweed
|Monarch Caterpillar on Milkweed - can you tell front from back? The larger, black protuberances are the front.
|Monarch Caterpillar on Milkweed
|Monarch Caterpillar on Milkweed
|Monarch Caterpillar on Milkweed
Since we are on milkweed as a food source, how about the large and very handsome Monarch Caterpillar! I see most of these caterpillars fall prey to the parasitic wasps - bad news since Monarchs are in trouble everywhere. Their final destination for their migration is a forest in Mexico which is being cut down at a scary rate. All along the Monarch's migration fly route, houses and other development are taking away habitat. Add the parasitic wasps as yet another stressor and trouble is inevitable. Monarch numbers are rapidly diminishing.
Some folks are taking to raising them and releasing them in an effort to boost numbers.
These are so pretty with their black, yellow and white colors, and the fleshy protuberances both front and back confuse predators. Because they eat milkweed, Monarch caterpillars and butterflies build up a toxin that has a horrible taste. One try at eating one of these fellows generally teaches a bird or whatever to leave them well enough alone.
We all can probably identify a Monarch Butterfly:>) Did you know scientists actually capture them, band them, and release them in an effort to learn more about their travels and troubles?
|Yellow Bear Caterpillar - Virginian Tiger Moth
|Yellow Bear Caterpillar - Virginian Tiger Moth
|Yellow Bear Caterpillar - Virginian Tiger Moth
|Yellow Bear Caterpillar - Virginian Tiger Moth
|Yellow Bear Caterpillar - Virginian Tiger Moth
Perhaps the most common caterpillar in yards is the Yellow Bear. They eat just about anything (one of the above pictures shows a Yellow Bear on and Oregano leaf from our garden) and usually have at least two generations in one year. These caterpillars begin as a light beige, almost white, color and grow darker as they shed. Each new instar is a little darker, and they end up a very dark brown or reddish-brown. The adult moth is a fuzzy, chunky, white moth that I think is beautiful.
I want to make a note here about the fuzzy, bristled caterpillars. They are harmless, but some people are sensitive to the hairs and can have an allergic reaction that makes them itchy. If you begin to feel itchy when holding them, be sure not to get your hands near your face and go wash your hands well. This is not common, in my experience, and I'm only mentioning it because it can happen.
As always, thank you for making time to come by and visit! Have a wonderful weekend:>)

San Francisco
March 10 & 11, 2019
Grace Cathedral is the daughter of historic Grace Chapel. The first little chapel was built in the gold rush year of 1849, and the imposing third church, for a time called Grace Cathedral, was destroyed in the fire following the 1906 earthquake. The railroad baron/banker Crocker family gave their ruined Nob Hill property for a diocesan cathedral, which took its name and founding congregation from the nearby parish.
Dean J. Wilmer Gresham nurtured the young Grace Cathedral, and work began on the present structure in 1928. Designed in French Gothic style by Lewis Hobart, it was completed in 1964. The Cathedral also boasts a considerable collection of work by artist Jan Henryk De Rosen, including a faux-tile Mural behind the Chapel of Grace.
Popular Guest Performing Artists have included the US Naval Academy Men's Glee Club, Chanticleer, and the Vienna Boys Choir, along with jazz legends Pharoah Sanders and Joshua Redman.
Orchestra Hall at Symphony Center was designated a San Francisco Historic Landmark on August 5th, 1984.

For people losing weight with the Medifast diet, Medifast Recipes offer a great way to spice up your daily food intake.
Since launching in the 1980's, Medifast has been successfully helping people to lose weight. Lately, it has been getting a lot more attention as celebrities like Kristy Swanson (the original Buffy the Vampire Slayer) have recorded testimonials about their Medifast weight loss. It is a quick and painless way to lose weight that utilizes a method called the 5-1 plan. The 5-1 plan consists of pre-packaged foods that you consume 5 times a day. The pre-packaged foods are supplied by Medifast and consist of shakes, soups, oatmel, pretzel sticks, cheese puffs and meal bars. In addition to those 5 small meals, you also consume 1 Lean and Green Meal.
This sounds like a lot of eating. Once you are in the zone, it will feel like you're eating a lot. However, after you've been on the plan for awhile, it's easy to get a little bored by the routine. That's where Medifast Recipes come to the rescue.
Over the years, a very active community has developed around the Medifast program. In addition to being a great place to get support and enouragement, this community has created a whole array of recipes that enhance the Medifast diet and add a lot of diversity to your weight loss journey.
Medifast recipes fall into 2 basic categories: Lean and Green recipes and Recipes that use the pre-packaged foods.
Lean and Green Recipes are a critical part of the Medifast weight loss program. They consist of a portion of meat combined with vegetables and leafy greens. The Medifast literature details the correct proportions of these elements. You will be happy to discover that the serving sizes are very generous. By using Lean and Green recipes you can take a lot of the difficult work out of creating these meals. Yo don't need to worry about proportions or weighing your food. You can enjoy some simple and delicious meals while staying in ketosis.
Medifast Meal-Based Recipes use alterations of the Medifast pre-packaged foods to create surprising new foods. The food scientists that created Medifast shakes probably never imagined that Mefiast dieters would figure out ways to turn Dutch Chocolate shakes into delicious chocolate muffins! The Medifast foods really do provide an excellent starting point for creating your own foods. A wide range of recipes already exist that will allow you to create foods like pancakes, brownies, pizza bread and even hummus.
Medifast has an established track record of weight loss success. Many people stick entirely to plan and experience dramatic weight loss. But if you like a little more variety in your diet, you own it to yourself to experiment with some Medifast recipes.
For people losing weight with the Medifast diet, Medifast Recipes offer a great way to spice up your daily food intake.
