Here are some more information for Drum Bug:

Woodpeckers can cause hundreds of dollars of damage each year to homeowners. They can also be a nuisance, hammering all day on the side of your home, telephone pole, tree or other noisy area. It seems that woodpeckers hammer for several reasons: to attract mates, establish or defend their territory, create a nesting or roosting site and to search for insects for food. They will drum on all types of substrates including wood, metal, plastic and stucco. They seem to love the loud sounds that they produce. All of this drumming can create costly damage for homeowners and building management. Woodpeckers will frequently damage cedar, rough pine and redwood siding and even some synthetic stucco finishes; causing hundreds of dollars in damage each year.

Woodpeckers are migratory birds and are thus protected by the Federal Migratory Bird Treat Act. This means you must be very careful when choosing a method of deterring woodpeckers. You must choose a non-lethal method. Luckily there are many non-lethal woodpecker deterrents available on the market. Some of these include visual repellents, loud noises, and exclusion. It is very important to take immediate action to reduce the damage, as woodpeckers are not easily driven from their territories or pecking sites once they have become established. There is no "standard" approach to dealing with woodpecker damage. Evaluate each individual situation separately to determine the most effective control measures. Often more than one technique (for example, using both visual and sound repellents) may provide the best control.

Methods for Deterring Woodpeckers:

Exclusion

Netting is one of the most effective methods of excluding pest woodpeckers from damaging wood siding beneath the eaves is to place lightweight plastic bird-type netting over the area. A mesh of 3/4 inch is generally recommended. At least 3 inches of space should be left between the netting and the damaged building so that birds cannot cause damage through the mesh. The netting can also be attached to the overhanging eaves and angled back to the siding below the damaged area and secured taut but not overly tight. Be sure to secure the netting so that the birds have no way to get behind it. If installed properly, the netting is barely visible from a distance and will offer a long-term solution to the damage problem. Once the birds have moved to another area, the netting can be taken down.

Visual Repellents

The best way to keep pesky little woodpeckers from destroying valuable trees and wood sidings is to discourage them from pecking using a visual repellent. You can use Mylar FlashTape, Scare Balloons, or even hanging CD's. These devises cause a visual distraction that bothers the birds and they will move on to an area that is more "pleasant" to them.

Noise Repellents

Using loud noises like rock music or bird distress calls is also an effective way to discourage the birds. You can find tapes or even sonic devices on the market that play distress and predator calls of birds. Remember to use these techniques as soon as damage begins and continue them for at least 8 days. Understand that when the birds leave one site they simply move to another one. Just hope that the new site is on something other than your home.

In most cases you can get control quickly and effectively if you use an integrated approach: put up visual repellents, use a chemical repellent and harass the birds with noise. Once the woodpeckers have moved on, you can remove the deterrents, but save them because you can be assured that they will be back next year!

Talk Your Way To Good Health And More

The flu bug is in the air.  You kind of feel weak.  You tell yourself that you are going to fall sick.  You lose your appetite.  Your head feels heavy.  True enough, when you wake up the following day, you run a fever.  You report sick.  You stay in bed.  You have successfully convinced yourself that you will be the next sick victim and without fail, your body programs accordingly.  And there you are, lying sick and weak on the bed.

What if, instead of negative programming, you apply positive programming?  Let’s replay the scene.  The flu bug is in the air.  You are busy with your work.  You tell yourself that you are strong and healthy and that you will not fall sick.  You also tell yourself that you cannot afford to get sick.  You continue with your work and carry on with your daily chores.  True enough, when you wake up the following day, you remain fit and well.  The flu bug did not get you.  You have successfully convinced yourself that you are strong and healthy and without fail, your body programs accordingly and builds up the necessary immunity.

What if, instead of talking your way to good health, you talk your way to great wealth and great possibilities?  You will have set the stage for great happenings.  Drums will roll.  You will start to attract the things, events and people that will help propel you towards your goals.  What you need to do is to continue talking to yourself, follow the flow and do all that is necessary to bring your goals to fruition.  If you come to a road block, don’t give up.  Continue with your pep talk.  Nothing and no one can stop you from achieving what you set out to achieve.  Stay strong when the current is strong.  Soon it will pass.  It has to.  No earthquake or tsunami will last forever.  Talk yourself out of all negative emotions and thoughts.  Talk yourself into everything positive.  When you have successfully programmed yourself to achieve great possibilities, there is only one outcome.  That you will achieve them, without fail.

What did you think about Rush in Atlanta last night?

I liked that they played a lot of stuff they usually didn't play, and Neil's new drum solo was great (especially the electronic part, it was actually beautiful).

The South Park cartoon was still the funniest part of all! Eric Cartman as Geddy Lee is not to be missed.

But they seemed to be still working out the bugs last night. Each of them made a few big mistakes. But overall they did a good show and it was nice to hear the new album.

The new light show was cool too. They reminded me of those UFO's that go through the toll booth in Close Encounters.

The Vapor Trails tour was still one of the better shows, but this one was a good change of pace.

I missed Alex's rants though. I guess they were bummed about their mistakes so they just wanted to skip it.

Did anyone else see it? What did you think?

It was awesome. I watched it live from TV.
