Collectable minifigs now listed at LEGOshop.com
Posted by Huw,They, along with the sets I listed the other day, are now listed at LEGOshop.com in the USA. They are not available yet, but will be on 1st Jan. However there's been a bit of a price hike: they are now $2.99! There's a limit of 16 per customer too, which is better than the 5 per customer for Series 2 but not enough, obviously, to guarantee getting a full set. Now might be the time to set up LEGO accounts for your wife and kids and parents so you can place more than one order :-)

I'll bet they're charging the higher price since they noticed how well series 2 sold at TRU and others for $2.99! Don't buy any $3.99 minifigs, or we may find S4 going up in price as well! I'm so glad I bought all my S3 last month at TRU with a BOGO 50% when they were still seilling them for $2.99.
Have a look at this: http://shop.lego.com/WhatsNew/ProductsLaunched2011.aspx?va=1 US-only.
I always wanted to get some of the collectable minifigures but I always seem to miss out on the minifigures. $2.99?!?! What! I thought it would be $1.99. Oh, no! LEGO is overpricing again! I hope to buy the baseball player, the snowboarder, the tennis player, and the dragon knight guy.
atleast they are still $2.99 cad for now...
when will these come out in the uk?
^ I have asked when we'll see 2011 sets on this side of the pond but I haven't had an answer yet. I hope it's before the VAT rise but I can see LEGO holding off until after then to simplify the prices.
It was expected that Series 3 would be $2.99. The significantly-higher pricing of both wholesalers such as Entertainment Earth and retailers such as Walmart have predicted this higher price point.
Also, while Series 1 had a limit of 5, like Series 3, Series 2 also had a limit of 16 (at least in the US).
Ninjago is on there too! Everything else is on there except Drill submarine, and Temple. :(
I once got 16 of Series two, and only four where the same! They where good ones too....
Good luck to Lego fans on "The great Minifig hunt"...
I'm glad I got all 16 already, the cost of shipping and handling on top of the $2.99 price tag makes this about even for when I got mine at BOGO50off
I'm really disappointed with the increase. Firstly for the fact that I could've grabbed them at TRU during the BOGO50 when they first came out and paid less than the now-confirmed MSRP, but waited to see if LEGO would hold the price at $1.99, and secondly for the fact that CMFs2 is probably going to be the last series I will get a complete 16 of (and I got a lot of multiples of some of them, too.) This time around, I will get some multiples of the ones I really like, get singles of the other ones I want (totaling around only 7 or 8 individual types out of the 16) and ignore the rest. I really don't need a dude in a gorilla suit for $2.99, and I'm not really interested in most of the sports-related figures.
Does anyone if the new 2011 SW sets are available at LEGO stores in the U.S
@Ha876 - Yes, most Lego stores received a shipment of the new 2011 SW sets but they're likely to sell quickly.
im also disapointed at the 2.99 price point
It is great Lego will get these online, and that the limit is 16, BUT it is not like Lego is giving you a set, so that limit is kind of worthless to be honest. I mean the whole idea of a '16 limit' is to see if you can get a a set, but when Lego warehouse people just grab 16 straight packs you are probably going to get a lot of duplicates. Unfortunately when I got a box the TRU employee made the girl pull out every pack and scan so she messed up the order in the box so I am not sure how the randomness of the boxes are. Does anyone know what the randomness is in a box?
This just in!!!!! TRU.com has the Mandalorian Battle packs back in stock... for 14.99... plus shipping.. Oh well, but they are available.. I would say that if anyone can wait, wait until you can get to a lego store or buy on Lego.com since you have to pay shipping either way right now, BUT Lego will have them only for 12 dollars.
Only looks like 80 left so if you really NEED them...
Also does anyone know if the Shuttle adventure set really is at TRU stores, or only online?
Unfortunately 2.99 was inevitable... When people are buying entire boxes of these when they see them (I mean there were four boxes at a TRU by me at 3.99 pack and they were all gone and not during a sale either)
I mean if people want to pay that amount then Lego will bump the price...
2.99 is still not horrible, BUT I say if they go up anymore you might as well take the randomness out of it and rarity too. I mean taking $3-4 'potshots' at getting the figs you want, or need to complete a set, is a bit much.
Again they should just sell sets of these online for those that just want a set but do not want to have to fight over them.. They will still sell the packs at the impulse aisle or near the counter but at least you will not have to stand their and look at every pack for stupid dots....
And you will not have to worry about people going to the store to cherry pick the best, or rare ones, out of a box... such as the fisherman and the Elves, and leaving you with the rest and an incomplete set.
I'm just happy that I was able to pick up all I needed at Meijer for $1.99 a pack. Next Series I will be only buying the ones I only really need and no extras...
@BoobyToy: I wish I knew where all of these magical Meijer stores were that had these for 1.99 a pack, because both store by me had nothing.. only series 2 and now they do not have those either...
Or perhaps Lego has learned from its past mistakes and is on top of it this time. We've all heard that series 3 has the largest production run of the collectable mini-figs to date and we also know that Lego is still marking the packages to keep tabs on the figure type, in addition to this we know that Lego listens to its fan base quite well and I'm sure that Lego got a good amount of complaints about the randomness (or lack thereof) of the previous online mini-fig purchases. So with the change of the purchase limit to mirror the figure count for this series is it really that hard to believe that Lego's got it worked out so that buying 16 figs equals a guaranteed complete set?
@mrdennings: they had a 16 count limit for series 2 thru lego.com and I got about 5-6 vampires in that order. So I would say while I hope they really have learned, I wouldn't bet on it.
Ether 2.99 is the Lego shop only price, or there better be a picture on the bag of what fig it is.
If it is 2.99 in the stores, i wont be buying any of them.
Since there are only a few figures in this series that I want, it's not worth the gamble to pay $2.99 and potentially get some I don't want. I'll pay Bricklink costs and save money in the long run.
Has anyone seen series 3 in stores in Canada? I've checked numerous retailers and still haven't found them. I don't want to order them from LEGO.com when they're available because I don't want to buy 16 mini-figures and get only 4 to 6 different ones out of the entire set. Now that it is difficult to determine what's in the pack and the difficulty in finding these things to begin with I don't know if I will actually buy any.
^ i have not seen any in canada, buit they did ship from tru on the 18. i do not see the point to all of you in the us complaining because we in canada have always had to pay $2.99 for them.
Psh, I bought some for 2.99 long ago at this ma/pa store. All the other stores 'round here either didnt have them or sold them for 6$. I dont think a dollar extra would sell as slowly as we think in big box stores though, maybe if it were 3.99 we'd be left with at least the less popular ones
Madforlegoe: At first they had them by the Christmas area were they put all there impulse toys and what nots. Then the last time I went they weren't there any more. Just when I was about to leave, I decided to just walk around and browes a little, and I found four cases in an extra aisle that they put some overflow toys (during the summer they keep there Plant food, garden tools and such). So make sure you look around.....you never know.
Lame, and here I thought the Msrp was all ready 2.99. Here in the Indianapolis area they are 3.99 every where (when you can find them) and 2 of the TRU's are charging 4.99 all ready. This just means they are going to get more expensive and I am just going to have to stop buying and searching. These figs brought me back to lego after a 15 year absence, but after all the money I spent trying to complete my series 2 and all the time I have spent trying to find series 3 in my area (not even 1 pack ><) I am seriously questioning my sanity for making to choice to collect again.
I was told some of the new sets would start to be listed on 26th in the UK, I had an order that should have been shipped in time for xmas and they messed up so they have given me free shipping on my next order and in the e-mail they told me the new sets would start being listed on 26th. I bet the prices include the new VAT rate even if you buy them before the 4th January (which is when the new vat rate takes effect, I know as I supply accounting software and its going to be hell on 4th).
I just obtained 36 minifigures series 3 (8803) at the TRU Springfield, IL. I also go the BOGO deal and an original container.
@brixton- I know just how you feel. I live like 10 minutes away from a toys r us and they haven't had any of the minifigures from series one, two, or three! Hopefully they will get some soon though. Just have to keep checking back.
@Scoutjo5: I have only seen series 1 and 2 at 1 TRU each. Both TRUs that had them weren't even in the city I lived in. I didn't mind so much for the first two series' since the retailer I bought them at had them for $2.86 instead of $2.99.
When I first heard they were doing Series 1, and before the MSRP had been announced, I just assumed they would be $3-$4 a pack based on the cost of sets like the Jester that are basically just a minifig and a few little bricks. I was pleasantly surprised when they were only $2, don't get me wrong, I am still bummed about the increase now that I have been used to paying only $2, but I think we were pretty lucky to get the first series for so cheap. The increase does mean I will not be getting as many as I did of series 2 (I procrastinated on series 1 and missed out on them in the stores not realizeing how limited they would be), but I was not so impressed with series 3 to begin with.
These things aren't worth buying myself anymore, they'll be a 'gift' item for me. They should just discontinue CM's and make sets with more unique figures in them if they go up to $5+. Just more worth in buying an actual set than these now.
EDIT: ON another note that is good (for me) is that most of the Ninjago sets are fairly reasonable in terms of price. I can see the small ones going fast for the ninjas compared to the price of s3 figures.
How come the MSRP for Series 3 is the same price in the US and Canada? Well, I guess it is a good thing they didn't raise the price in Canada to $3.99 a bag.
A question to anyone who bought mini-figures online (from LEGO.com). Is it worth it? Do you get a sufficient number of originals with your order of 16? I don't want to order 16 online and then end up with 5 gorillas. The shipping cost is a deterrence to online ordering too but if I can't find them in stores then I'll have to get them online eventually.
I wonder what this price rise means for Europe? $1.99 in the US, €2.49 in Europe, so could this new $2.99 price translate to €3.49 on this side of the Atlantic? (Currency conversion rates don't seem to apply when it comes to Lego.) Hmm...
I have all of the Series 3 minifigures already. I found them at my local Walmart. I went yesterday and got all of them execpt for 2 duplicates, which I went back today and got the ones I didn't get. I noticed that some of the dots weren't in thir right spots. All the Elf's dot were backwards, and one dot was in the middle of the bag on the Racecar Driver. The feeling method proved to work better. They say the Racecar Driver is the hardest to feel, but if you feel hard enough you can find the hair. This is the first minifigure series where I got a complete set!
aww not before christmas boohoo
I was under the impression that in North America at least, the limit on Series 2 minifigures was 16; otherwise, I would not have gotten a single shipment of 16 figures. I think the Series 3 limit ought to be 32 figures, since we know that Lego at least made the effort to produce more figures due to the unpredictably high demand for Series 1 and 2 figures.
Series 3 has been pretty common in my part of the world. The Fisherman is the only figure I can't find. Is he really only 2 per box? If so, what a strange figure to short pack.
I loved the $1.99 price point like everyone obviously, but $2.99 is a fair price. They do that Build a Mini-Fig for $9.99 for 3 figs and they're not anything rare or special (except maybe the Ninja torso's and head's).
So I hope this is the price point for awhile. If they go higher I won't pay for a full set of 16. $1.99 made it great to buy 2 full sets, $2.99 is fair...if it goes up to $3.99....I'll really limit what I buy and $4.99 is just out of the question.
Also, I remember my local Lego Store having no limit on Series II figs. Series I they had a 5 limit and when Series II came out they kept replenishing their stock often and had no limit.
@minifig051: You found then at Walmart! I have to go to my local one. How much were they?
Anybody seen any at a target?
to all in the chicago area as of this last weekend the store at the lego discovery land had a big bin of series 2 and 3 still id say about 500 of each
@Carnigee77 - Yes, they are at Wal Mart. $2.97 each. I picked up two more that the kids wanted for their Christmas stockings (Hula Dancer for my daughter, Cyborg for my son). I still need to pick up the pilot, but since everyone is talking trash about him I'm sure I'll see him often enough down the road. (location: Appleton WI)
Well, speaking from a UK perspective, I for one will not appreciate a price hike on collectable minifigs... at £1.99 the price was reasonable for pocket-money purchases, and remember it meant at least £32 for a full set with zero duplication. The collectable minifigs where a hit for me for the following reasons:
A: Unique figs that are not found in regular sets.
B: They are affordable, and thus a full set is within financial reach.
C: They are widely available, in enough quantity, so we can collect properly over time.
Now, 'C' was of course a total fail. They were not widely available, and so the inevitable rush happened and quantities were limited, but for me A plus B was enough to mean i still went after and got them. A unique minifig is a unique minifig, and for a couple of quid i can ignore the small quality issue between these and regular figs.
BUT a price increase will render B null, as a full set starts to become a heavy asking price, and if the price goes up many will NOT ignore the quality difference between regular minifigs and these, as they are now effectively paying a regular figs price. Plus, if we start to see more of the figs appearing in regular (better quality) sets, (such as the Mummy), 'A' will also be null.
I am already feeling the novelty wearing thin, as they are being pushed out way too fast. Each new collectable series should be something to look forward to and enjoy - like a fine wine - over a period of time. It shouldn't be a mad dash blink and you miss it here today gone tomorrow affair. I don't mind buying one or two series per year, but forking out £30 to £50 on the 'n'th series in as many months... my house is only so big, and my pocket only so deep. If collectors get the feeling they'll be unable to afford the pace (or space!), they'll just bail out completely - which is not what lego will want. Especially as 'supermarket mom' will also begin to balk at the price rise of timmy's little treat, and would decide to get something else. It's the old phrase that anybody who has spent any time in a shopping aisle will have heard countless times: "I don't care what it is, I'm not paying THAT much".
To end on a positive, Series 4 looks great.
We should all go on lego.com and rate the CMFs really low to protest the price increase!!!
I'm so not happy about this, If you're gonna raise the price, use the good plastic they use on regular sets!!!!
If they were made from good plastic, thus heads would be a more vibrant yellow, and the legs wouldn't be translucent, and they'd be heavier, then i think its definitely worth 3 bucks.
I noticed this yesterday when i found them at walmart, they were 2.97 and I was kinda bummed, but they had 5 boxes out!! They were heavily picked through but i thought i might find some cool duplicates. ended up picking out 10 and didn't think much of it. When the price rang up at 32 something (thats with tax) I realized thats kinda expensive, i never minded spending 20 bucks here and there on series 2, 20 bucks doesn't really have that big an impact on me, but when i cough up more than 30 I figure I could get a legit set for around that price! 30 bucks was kinda steep, so I returned a couple that day...
Greetings! I the head of shop LEGO in Tula (Russia) at me from now on minifigures a set ? 3 on sale ( art. 8803). Also as well as many other articles from novelties of 2001
@legomatt - I agree with you completely. The minifigs are starting to lose their novelty as they are being pushed out way too fast and I for one am getting a little fed up with it. On a brighter note, the price increase has only been confirmed in the US so far. If you look at the pricing, series 1+2 sold for 1.99 pounds in the UK, 1.99 euros in Europe, and over here in Australia, we had to pay a whopping $4. So in fact, based on current exchange rates, our friends in the US have been getting these minifigs at an absolute bargain (no offense to anyone in the US by the way - it's just that I envy you all!!). By increasing the price in the US, Lego are just bringing them into line with the rest of the world (and still 25% cheaper than what we're paying here). So hopefully (fingers crossed), this increase in price won't be felt worldwide, although if they are, then I'm boycotting these minifigs altogether. $64 for a complete set is more than enough.
@minifig051 - I also found the S3 minifigs at Walmart last night. And interestingly, I also found a discrepancy with the dot/dimple pattern for the Elf. I was mostly just looking for a couple rappers and cyborgs and was successful looking for their dot/dimple patterns. But I stumbled upon 2 elves (by identifying the bow) and yet neither had the characteristic arrow pattern of dimples on the left side that I've been successfully finding for weeks. Since no one knows how these dots/dimples actually work for Lego, I wonder if this is just a one-off discrepancy or perhaps some dot/dimple patterns are not as static as initially thought. And I definitely felt like a moron feeling the bags in the store. :o)
@yellowcastle - not to be a doomsayer but from my background in manufacturing, and dealing with Chinese manufacturers, they could change the dots with each production lot. They only need the dot pattern, from an internal perspective, to make sure they have the right number/mix of figs in a box. For all we know, Lego might want to keep these changing to keep the collectors from breaking the code. But this is purely speculation and I hope that this is just an isolated occurrence.
@Duilim - I fully acknowledge that we have been getting away with way better pricing on the first two series in the states but, even with the better pricing, I have to echo that I'm starting to feel some buyer fatigue...there has been such a short window to actually get a full set and even with getting more supply out, the price jump has been a little hard to swallow since my dollar isn't going as far. I still love the idea of doing collectible figs and I'm still excited for series 4 but just thinking that Lego has confirmed they'll do AT LEAST through series 5, I don't know if I want to keep doing this for much longer...especially since we'll probably see series 5 by next Fall at the rate we're going.
@beefygrefe - that is indeed something I've been wondering. But I can definitely tell you that the original dot/dimple patterns have so far been consistent across 3 different retail chains across the country these past several weeks. But just in case, I definitely stick with the recommendation to follow the dot/dimple patterns while spot checking some as well by feeling the packets. :o)
@yellowcastle: For me, it worked out better feeling the bags. When I went, a employee (who was a Lego fan) and I were feeling the bags while my mom was checking the dots. While we were going through the boxes, some shoppers saw us and were interested in getting some. The extras I got were a Space Villan and a Fisherman. I managed to accidentally get 2 Fisherman because there were 4 boxes there. 2 of them looked like the had some taken, but the 2 in the back were hardly touched. When I went back to get the ones I missed (the Racecar Driver and the Gorilla Suit Guy), I found both of them in 5 minutes. The day before we were there for about an hour and a half. With the dots wierd like this, I think that the feeling method works better.
^Funny, how you got two of the rarest ones on your first try and missed common ones.
This price rise doesn't bother me too much, for this series at least, because first of all I don't have a (much of) a way of getting them outside of S@H. Second, for this series, I was more interested in the common ones (Racecar Driver, Gorilla, Hula Girl, piolet) and a few moderate ones (elf, cyborg, chief, rapper).
I can see how this will be a problem for S4, so --yys4u--, I with you on protesting now.
I've done my part! Just left a review, hope it wasn't too harsh but I want lego to hear the complaints. Wont be up for a couple of days tho...
I just got the whole set on ebay because last time I got loads of packets and dot double so it is just an easier way I think.(I will probably do the same for series 4).
Commenting has ended on this article.

I've got to admit to being both surprised an disheartened by the "you know, this isn't that bad" attitude people have been taking towards the leaked song and video from Paris Hilton's forthcoming album. Just because your sonic expectations were probably set somewhere between "listening to your puppy die" and "press-on fingernails dragging across the world's longest chalkboard", doesn't mean you should suddenly become a Paris apologist when her song ends up more in the neighborhood of "harmlessly generic MTV reality show background music". If you think I'm being harsh, I challenge you to listen to a few more of her leaked tracks, then give me one logical reason why this music isn't awful.
SIZZLER: Get Rich Or Divorced Tryin'
According to The Sun, Britney Spears is furious after discovering that husband Kevin Federline is working on making a film about his life. The report goes on to say that K-Fed is planning to portray himself in a similar fashion as his idol and inspiration Eminem did in 8 Mile, which is undoubtedly his all-time favorite movie. While we can only hope this genius piece of cinema makes its way to theaters very soon, your friends here at BWE have managed to obtain a segment from an early draft of the screenplay, which was written by K-Fed himself and is tentatively titled "Fresno F*cking Around". See it for yourselves after the jump!
It's June 8th; What's up?
Two of America's hottest sex symbols make their triumphant return to the small screen tonight, June 8th: Dylan McKay Luke Perry on NBC's Windfall, and Drew Carey on Drew Carey's Sporting Adventures on The Travel Channel. I'm not sure which one I'm more excited about.
Also on tonight: The MTV Movie Awards hosted by Jessica Alba. We already know that Wedding Crashers cleans up, that Gnarls Barkley steals the show, and that Jessica Alba is easy on the eyes. But what we don't know is how many awkward cutaways to stone-faced celebrities the producers will bless us with each time one of Alba's jokes falls flat. The over/under is 8. What are YOU watching tonight? Vote now!
POP SLUT VIDEO: Stars Are Blind
By now you've probably heard Paris Hilton's new single, "Stars are Blind." You probably also kinda (begrudgingly) like it and want to learn more about it. That's where Pop Slut Video comes in.
SIZZLER: Brad Might Not Be the Dad??!
Things might not be as perfect as they seem in Africa. That's right, we're talking about Brad and Angelina. The National Enquirer is reporting that Brad Pitt might not be the father of new baby Shiloh. Sources say Angelina told friends she had slept with another man, which means there's trouble in Brangelina's Namibian paradise. We're not sure if any of this is true, but check out this very first second picture of baby Shiloh that People posted on their site today. Brad looks less like an adoring dad, and more like he's examining the kid to see if she inherited any of his features. From what I can see, Shiloh's got Colin Farrell's nose, Johnny Lee Miller's coloring and Bruce Willis' hairline. Sorry Brad, but it looks like this calls for a paternity test. And a live studio audience. And Maury Povich.

I do still have the photo. The earliest photos of this type were done in the 1870's, and this one is of a later format than this. No earlier than, say, 1885 and no later than 1905 is my best guess.

They also created a turkey chant using the chant books as a structural element. Mrs Schwartz is clearly an extraordinary teacher.

Ask Oregon Questions & Answers
Topic | |
My fiance and I are planning on spending our honeymoon in the Bend area. We would like to see as much as we can in 5 days. We would like to see the coast or tidepools, or maybe go on some hikes. What are some great spots to visit for a young active couple on a budget? What is the best way to organize our trip so that we can get the most out of it?I take it you haven't been here before? I'll tell you my top five highlights for the Bend area: The High Desert Museum, the Cascade Lakes Scenic Byway, The Deschutes River Trail, Downtown Bend and Mirror Pond, and The Old Mill District on the Deschutes River. I would devote a day to driving the mountains (Cascade Lakes) and a couple of days to exploring town. Maybe catch a concert at the Les Schwab Amphitheater? Maybe head north 45 minutes and spend a day at Smith Rock State Park – it's spectacular. If you want tidepools and the coast, you'll need to drive four hours west. Well worth it, but your call if you want to take the time. Enjoy! |

The men want to fish for 2 days in late September. We would like to see the best of the Oregon Coast and some inland. Suggestions?That time frame is ideal for salmon on both the Columbia River and the Oregon Coast. Tillamook and Nehalem Bays will be heating up (Nearest towns are Tillamook, Garibaldi, Rockaway and Nehalem. The guys can fish while the girls shop, beach comb or explore. I would suggest Garibaldi House as a very nice place to stay. Boat rentals are available at the local marinas on the bays or you could do guided trips. Fishing on the Columbia R takes place in several locations from Astoria to the Columbia Gorge. There are a few seasonal closure dates on some sections, but it will all be open for most of September. If not familiar with the Columbia, a guide is highly suggested because of changing seasons as well as fast water, currents, commercial ship traffic and shallows. Please don't hesitate to ask any more questions, I'd love to help. |

Heading from Canada to Crater Lake and Florence. Could you recommend bars in those areas with unique local beers? Many thanks from a thirsty wanderer!In Florence, your best bets are the Beachcomber Pub (20 taps, with some nice southern Willamette Valley picks) or Wakonda Brewing Co. I actually haven't been to Wakonda yet, but the reviews are impressive. Crater Lake isn't ringed with pubs, so take some beer with you. Oh, and if you're taking OR 58 from Eugene down to Crater Lake, you must stop in Oakridge at the Brewers Union Local 180. It's a tiny brewpub run by one of the country's leading advocates of cask ale. Ask for him if you want to spend an hour in lovely conversation. His name's Ted and you can tell him I sent you. |

We will be staying in Newport in mid-September and would like suggestions for a scenic route to drive to Mt. Hood. We would like to see some of the scenic sights in Central Oregon along the way. Is the Three Sisters area too far off the path?Well, seeing the Sisters on the way to Mt. Hood isn't exactly the direct route, but if you are up for a leisurely driving tour of the state, it's a lovely way to go! From Newport you can head east over the Cascades, seeing many lovely sights along the way. From Bend, head north on Hwy 97 to Mt. Hood. The whole endeavor will take you seven hours +, so if you have time, you might consider staying over a night (maybe in Bend?). You can see the Cascades from parts of I-5 (assuming you took a more direct route from Newport to Hood), but it isn't nearly the same as seeing those peaks up close. |
Central Oregon |
I was wondering if you could tell me the best area to visit mid-July for fishing. I have two boys ages 13 and 15 that love to fish. -Tammy H.Here are a few great options around the state to visit with good fishing for the boys: In southern Oregon, Diamond Lake is nice and you can also visit Crater Lake. On the central/southern Oregon Coast check out Siltcoos Lake. On the northern Oregon Coast, Fort Stevens State Park is a great option. It's rich in history; there is the beach and a lake for shore fishing for bass, trout and perch. In Central Oregon, check out Crane Prairie Reservoir or Prineville Reservoir. |

I'm coming to Ashland to see the Oregon Shakespeare Festival. I want to check out some breweries, some wineries, some natural wonders…. I'd LOVE some 'local' (that is, somewhat off-the-obvious-path) suggestions of things to check out. -Kristin G.You're on the right track with plans to partake of the Oregon Shakespeare Festival, Ashland's claim to fame. If you haven't already, see the Mail Tribune newspaper's guide to the festival for news and reviews. If you want to take in the region's primary natural wonders, plan a day to visit Crater Lake, Oregon's only national park, or Oregon Caves, the state's first national monument. I always recommend both, but they are several hours' drive apart. Here's a recent story from the Mail Tribune to help you decide. You could spend a couple of days on wineries alone. The Rogue region boasts dozens between Ashland and Medford, known as Bear Creek Boutique Wines. The Applegate Valley has its own "wine trail," as does the Upper-Rogue region. See the Mail Tribune's complete guide to wine tasting, as well as local wine coverage by columnist Janet Eastman. Ashland has a few popular breweries, including Standing Stone and Caldera, but the up-and-comers are in Medford. Check out Southern Oregon Brewing and Walkabout, which is opening its taphouse in July. While you're in Medford, eat at Downtown Market Co., the town's No. 1 restaurant on TripAdvisor and one of my personal favorites. Most of my "locals-only" tips center around food and dining. Ashland is replete with restaurants, particularly around the plaza, but some of the best (and more affordable) dining is removed from the downtown core. I always make a point of eating at Morning Glory for breakfast, Happy Falafel for a fast, inexpensive lunch and a newcomer, called Sauce, for really flavorful, healthy food. It sounds a little strange, but Ashland Food Co-op in the railroad district does more food-service business than anywhere else in town. It has a salad bar, hot bar and deli that's fresh, fast and can accommodate any type of diet. Check out all my Ashland-area dining coverage here. |

I want to combine a trip to Portland with a visit to the Willamette Valley. What would you plan to see and how should we travel from Portland to the Willamette Valley?I really love your question! I live in the Willamette Valley but have a loft in the Pearl District in Portland. The main thing you have to do in Portland is EAT!!! Take advantage of one of the many great walking tours of the city. From Portland, I would travel to and through the Willamette Valley on Highway 99W. Staying off the interstate will give you the best experience. Wineries are everywhere as well as the most beautiful B & B's. There is a lot to see in the valley but our wineries are our main attractions as they should be. Each one is unique and beautiful with qualities not found anywhere else. A few of my favs: Left Coast A stop near McMinnville at the Evergreen Aviation and Space Museum should be on your list as well. The Spruce Goose is housed here as well as many other very cool planes and space vehicles. Totally worth the stop. My biggest piece of advice is just to take your time when driving through the Willamette Valley. Take a side road or two and you may be very happily surprised at what you find. It's a beautiful place so |
Willamette Valley |
We are planning a business trip to Ashland in late July. Could you tell me of interesting sites in that area? Any ideas for day trips? Any wineries?If you're planning a trip to Ashland, don't miss Oregon Shakespeare Festival, arguably the town's claim to fame. See the Mail Tribune newspaper's guide to the festival. A nice day trip from Ashland is Jacksonville, a national historic landmark that hosts the outdoor Britt Music Festival concert series into October. Or go on an artisan-food tasting tour in Central Point, home to Rogue Creamery and Lillie Belle Farms. You could spend a couple of days on wineries alone. The Rogue region boasts dozens of wineries between Ashland and Medford, known as Bear Creek Boutique Wines. The Applegate Valley has its own "wine trail," as does the Upper-Rogue region. See the Mail Tribune's complete guide to wine tasting, as well as local wine coverage by columnist Janet Eastman. |

My sister and I are looking to relocate to Portland, but don't know where to start. We would like a neighborhood that is pedestrian-friendly. Where one can walk to near by restaurants, grocery stores, banks, etc. ight budget since we are unemployed due that we are taking care of our Mom. What part of Portland would you recommend to us that would be a nice and safe place, yet housing would be inexpensive? – Natalia T.Portland has lots of pedestrian-friendly neighborhoods – check out these posts on my blog along with the discussions in the comments: "Best Thing About Your Neighborhood" and "Top 5 Portland Neighborhoods for Car Free Living." In general the further out you get from downtown, the more affordable housing becomes. Some neighborhoods I would recommend that have that combination of inexpensive housing and walkable amenities are Roseway, Hollywood, Montavilla, Kenton, Arbor Lodge, St. Johns, Sellwood, Multnomah Village. In addition some of the suburbs are less expensive and have very walkable downtowns, including Oregon City, Milwaukee, and Hillsboro. |
Portland |
We're coming to Oregon this summer. We want to rent a place on the beach, walk, eat well, see local sites and shop in art galleries. We also want to spend a couple of days in Portland. There are four of us and none of us have ever spent time in Oregon before. Do you have any suggestions for how to set up a couple days in the city and four days on the coast? – Elaine R.On the Oregon Coast your best bet for art, beach, and eating well is probably Cannon Beach on the North Coast, or Newport on the Central Coast. I'm also partial to Astoria (where I live part-time) for everything you listed, except it's about 10 miles inland from the beaches, on the south bank of the Columbia River (which is about 4 miles wide at that point, so it feels more like a bay). In all the above places there are plenty of hotels, motels, and beds and breakfasts. You should have no problem finding something in Portland. I would recommend a downtown hotel – downtown is famously walkable. You may find some good deals on the Travel Portland. |

She Likes It Raw: Penni
Name: Penni
Location: Tulsa, Oklahoma
Interests: I'm such a foodie!! I love creating and styling raw dishes. I adore books and magazines.....on the raw food lifestyle, photography, design, fashion, travel and literature. I enjoy long walks, gardening, sketching, and being outside in nature.
Fav. Raw Dish: As much as I enjoy making my own raw food delights.....I am recently obsessed with the malamars at Pure Food and Wine. They are like a s'more, only pure, raw and actually good for you. They are what I dream about in between my trips to NYC! Other than that....I have this recipe for raw marinara sauce that is to die for. My husband and I love it slightly warmed and served over ever so lightly steamed fresh veggies with raw parmesan nut cheese bits on top. It's our favorite cold weather dish as well as as an awesome transitional meal for raw newbies!
Words of Inspiration: Making the choice to take better care of ourselves is something we can cultivate at anytime. I don't believe there is a right or wrong in choosing raw food....it can be a highly individual path. Once you incorporate it into your lifestyle it can be highly addictive in a positive sense. And the more we do it, the better we feel, the lighter we become and the more natural it seems. So, don't beat yourself up if you aren't 100% disciplined, raw or organic. This diet isn't a religion it is simply a deeply appreciated gift of better health to yourself!

Well here I am sitting on my team bus on some really, really small country roads in France and going really, really slowly. I'm talking with my teammates and kind of freaking out because it is only Sunday and we still have three full weeks of racing ahead of us! And at this point in the Tour de France, it just seems daunting.
Nobody really knows what awaits us. It could be the best time of our life, if all goes according to plan. But it could also be a living hell, and right now we just don't know. I mean just imagine, we still have like 20 kilos of pasta to eat, 500 liters of water, at least 50 energy bars. It's just mind numbing!
For the favorites, like my teammates Frank and Andy Schleck, well they still have 10 days before their race actually begins, 10 days before the big mountains. But before they can even think of climbing up Luz-Ardiden or any other mountain, they have to get through all these stages where the only thing that they can do is lose the race. Just look at what happened to Alberto Contador yesterday.
But today we are happy because we made it through the team time trial in good shape. We were able to pick up more time on Contador's Saxo Bank team and pretty much held even with the others.
And that is after my buddy Frank Schleck avoided catastrophe on two separate occasions. First, as we were starting our warm-up on the course this morning, we crossed the start line and this television camera that was suspended on a beam, suddenly fell on Frank's head. I mean it just fell right on his head! It hit him square on the head, forcing his helmet down and jamming the sun visor into his nose. Fortunately he didn't fall, but boy, that could have been a lot more serious.
And then during the TTT, Frank swallows a bee, or some kind of insect that actually stings him in the throat as he swallows it. I mean why do these freak things happen to Frank?
Now we are looking forward to dinner, which is always one of the highlights of the day. This year we have a new kitchen and dining truck. All of our food is actually made in the truck and we actually eat in there too. It is super modern and I don't want to think how much it cost. But our cook Nicki is just the best. Not only is he a great cook, but he manages to come up with these really original dishes that are actually appetizing. That alone is pretty amazing because let me tell you, we have to eat so much on the Tour that after awhile there is no joy to eating, we just eat to eat.
But Nicki saves the day. He even fills special requests sometimes, but we try not to take advantage of it, so it's not Eggs Benedict every morning.

Horsebackriding at Cotopaxi National Park
September 15th, 2010 Karolina
A few weeks ago we went to the Cotopaxi National Park to do some horsebackriding. We booked a 2-day trip for advanced riders, which meant that we had to ride around 40 km every day. After some instructions at the Papa Gayo Hostel, we spent the first day trekking along the trails towards the magnificent [...]

After a while in Ecuador we decided to go to the beach for one weekend, more precisely to Mompiche in Esmeraldas. Mompiche is located in the south of Esmeraldas city and is a famous destination for tourists in terms of surfing and snorkeling.


text: What would the output shaft do on something like a jet ski? If I'm not mistaken, instead of being powered by a propeller, they use a jet of water to push the ski along. Does this mean that the output shaft would be used somehow to power a motor that would push out a jet of water? If not, how do jet skis move, and what exactly does the output shaft do?

If you dare to attend a LMFAO concert, be prepared for inflatable palm trees, shuffling zebras and maybe, just maybe, our president wiggling.
"If Obama wants to come out and wiggle, you know, have our people talk with his people. Let's get started," RedFoo said.
We found out all about this duos plans for their next tour, "Redfoo and Cherrytree Present: Sorry for Party Rocking Tour Featuring LMFAO and the Party Rock Crew and Special Guests," today during a teleconference. Joining the group on the road will be Far East Movement, The Quest Crew, Sidney Samson, Eva Simmons and Natalia Kills.
The 26-date tour begins in Columbus, Ohio, on May 22 and ends in Toronto on July 4, and the two only have one rule for their show: "no rules."
"Sometimes you might get a grownup hot dog shuffling," Redfoo said. "Why? Because there is no reason why, that is exactly why; because it makes you feel like you're in a dream, a trance."
Redfoo's nephew and the other half of LMFAO, SkyBlu, advised concertgoers to use the show as an excuse to let loose. "No matter what job you got, no matter what people are telling you, when you come to the concert you can just let it all go," he said.
LMFAO was created from the duo's true characteristics. The group explained that they love making music and using humor as a tool to make people happy, even if that means wiggling in a Speedo.
"We were always 'Sexy And I Know It' walking around. This is the reason why I can wiggle in a Speedo, because I'm sexy and I know it, baby. It's a mindset and we've always felt we were #1 before we got #1," Redfoo said.
This mindset has led LMFAO to a Grammy nomination and the top of the Billboard charts. So far, LMFAO's newest album, Sorry for Party Rocking, has gone Gold and produced two hit singles so far, "Party Rock Anthem" and "Sexy And I Know It," that have partied their way up to the #1 spot on the Top 40 radio charts.
The son and grandson of Berry Gordy took the legend's advice to help them get where they are today. SkyBlu said his favorite lesson learned from his grandfather is, "Logic is boss."
"If something doesn't make sense, no matter who's throwing down the orders, you shouldn't do it," he explained. "You gotta think logically in any decision you make especially big decisions, and especially when you're leading a bunch of people and people depend on you."
Although LMFAO may appear to be celebrating in all of the glory, they are taken aback by success. "It just feels good that we've reached a level of success that we always dreamed about and this is just the start for us, so we feel really blessed and grateful for everything that's going on," SkyBlu said. "It's amazing to see how many people you affect around the whole globe. You can go anywhere, man, and people are affected by something that we created. So it's just a beautiful thing."

According to a new survey, the Steelers Troy Polamalu is the most likeable player in the NFL. He had 63% appeal.
Saints quarterback Drew Brees was second at 62% appeal.
Least liked are Bears quarterback Jay Cutler and Lions defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh.
Suh leveled Jay Cutler in last Monday night's game between the Lions and the Bears..and, I believe, gave him a swipe on the head for good measure! No wonder he's one of the least liked..especially after his head-stomping incident last season! But...he's a spokesperson for Subway! Go figure!

The other night something bad happened at the home of someone close to me. I'll tell you part of the story today, and I'll give you the rest of the story later in the week. I'm curious about how you think it ended based on your feelings about guns and gun control. This is one of those stories that people use to point out how right they are to be on whatever side they choose to be on. So here's the story, tell me your ending based on whether or not you're for or against having a gun in the house. I'm repeating this exactly as it happened last week. This house is located on an upscale, quiet suburban street.
A woman in her early 40s accidentally fell asleep on her family room couch Saturday night. She was watching TV, exhausted, she nodded off around 10pm. Several hours later, she was woken by a loud pounding on her front door. Confused, unsure of the time and disoriented she jumped to her feet, stumbled to the door and opened it, thinking it must be her son returning from being out at the movies.
She quickly realized it wasn't her son, but someone trying to get in the house. It turned out to be a thirty something year old man screaming "they're trying to kill me" as he tried to push his way into the house. She pushed back and managed to hold him off until her husband woke up and ran downstairs…
Based on whether or not there were guns involved by either party involved this ends very differently. Was the husband carrying a gun? Did the lunatic trying to push his way into the house have a gun? If this was your house, how would it have ended? My experience has shown very few people are neutral on gun control, so I'm very interested to see what you think the best way to handle this situation is. No hints on how it really ended.
So Blake, as that old guy on the radio -the one with the name I can't remember - would say what is the rest of the story.
Oddly last night drunk yelling people did end up inside my house, it was the idiots from next door and I was out getting something from my car when they came through my screen door at midnight. These people are not on my favorite people list, but I didn't shoot them I just pointed them at their own door and gave them a little push.
Can't resist giving you the answer...after all I do love reference questions. That 'rest of the story guy' is Paul Harvey. :-)
All I could think of was Paul Lynde, and that certainly was not it.
In Michigan, one need not retreat in defense of one's home.
But, one should always be aware of their personal situation vis-a-vis safety and protection. To open a door in the scenario presented shows a lack of awareness and exposure to danger.
But, once opened, should the homeowner feel that their life was in danger, then use of force would be one appropriate defense.
Not enough facts leads to supposition and play-acting. Good luck if calling the police brings response in a timely manner.
Yes, I have a permit to carry, but live in the country and would never just open the door without knowing who or what was on the other side.
UpNorth Librarian
I do own guns--I inherited them from my dad and practice at the shooting range. I do not carry them or have them nearby. They are in locked gun safes and also have trigger locks. I like having them and keep in practice in case of a Katrina-like situation (or heaven knows what) in which people who did not ordinarily have to defend their homes ended up having to do so...we saw doctors, lawyers, teachers (and maybe librarians) on their porches with guns. I do believe in the 2nd Amendment and believe that it pertains to individuals, not just to the "militia."
Enough about that. At my house, the situation probably would not have gotten as far as it did in the scenario because we have two dogs: a 12-year-old Lab and a 13-year-old golden retriever mix. They are elderly and slow--but very noisy and, from the other side of the door, sound like they are Grendl or some other beast getting ready to eat you. We live in a college neighborhood where break-ins sometimes occur during breaks and holidays, but feel secure that, given a choice, an intruder would choose not to go the home with the noisy dog. Even had I opened the door, I doubt if the guy being chased would have pushed in so easily with the two dogs snarling at him.
The other thing I might have done is run outside and let him stay inside, but then whoever was trying to kill him might be lurking there.
Although I do not keep a gun by the front door, I do keep my cell phone there and have occasionally used it when someone has come to the door with the ubiquitous "can you lend me $3, I locked myself out of the car and have to pick up my wife at work" story. I say, "No, but I can call the police for you and they can get into your car."
I don't know how the story ends, but if a gun was involved, it might have ended tragically. If a dog were involved, it might have been different for a variety of reasons.
I like dogs much more than guns. If you could only have one or the other the guns would go.
I do own guns. I do carry guns legally. I do not answer the door at my house without a gun nearby.
If the lunatic did not obviously have a gun and was just trying to push his way in, someone may have indeed been trying to kill him so I would have pushed him back out on the porch, called the police, and made sure he was safe on my porch.
If he had a gun I would have pushed him out until such time as he threatened me with the gun. Just because he had one does not mean he is pointing it at me. If he threatened me with it I would shoot him.
If he pushed past me into my house armed or unarmed I would have run outside and locked the door behind me and called the cops. There are guns in the house but they are locked away so that he could not get to them before the cops got here. The ammunition for my guns is locked away in a place different from the guns, except for the one handgun I am using at the time (I have different guns for different circumstances, but only one with me at any given time unless I am going to the range.)
So based on your story I will make some assumptions that are most probably completely off base. The intruder was white, since you said the home was in a nice neighborhood I doubt the wife would have opened the door for a yelling black man. The man was not armed, as crazy white people who try to push into peoples houses have generally pawned all their posessions for meth so no gun as that went months ago. Also it would have to be a handgun as I assume no one will open a door to a screaming guy with a 12 gauge. I am going to assume WNY so handgun is much less likely than here in Florida.
Husband might not have been armed, if he was it was with a rifle or shotgun. He would probably not shoot a shotgun near the wife, and the rifle is probably out as most people don't use a rifle for home protection. I don't think anyone was shot.
The best way to handle the situation: look out the peephole and call the cops if you don't recognize the screaming nutjob on your doorstep.
I carry a gun because I can't carry a cop.
It's funny, you're the only NRA member whose first response wasn't shoot first ask questions later. 4 out of 4 I've asked all had the same strong reaction, something along the lines of this is exactly why they have guns, and shots would be fired if this happened at their house too.
I am not real keen on shooting people.... especially in my house. What a mess to clean up.
If he runs past without shooting me then have at it, what is he going to do toast all my english muffins. I have insurance for my stuff, and frankly my stuff is not all that great. If there were people inside the house I would do more to keep him out of my house and away from them, but if you want my TV live it up.
Having been an ER nurse for over a decade I have seen plenty of people die from being shot. Some people needed to be shot, most didn't.
If I knew the cops could get there quick enough I would not carry a gun, but I've had occasion to need it. There is never a cop around when you need one. I'm not stopping liquor store robberies, and if someone points a gun at me on the street I will run and hide before I start shooting if possible. But I do like to know if I need a gun I have one. I just hope never to need it. Sort of like my spare tire, a real pain in the neck if you have to use it, but really important if you have no other choice.
If I shoot someone I have to try and save their life - not a law or anything, just what you do when you're a nurse and know how to. Much easier to just run away.

What kind of training might the gun weilder have had, if he or she was defending the home, in the application of appropriate force? If the suspected assailant is carrying the firearm, then reasonable use is almost certainly not a consideration. Even if he is just a distressed citizen. His frame of mind in the scenario you described is clearly not a state of rationality.
Okay, I'm complicating the scenario, and probably unnecessarily.
Keep in mind that the second amendment was enacted to prevent governments from disarming the populace as a means to implement authori- or totalitarian control. This was a common measure in tyrannical regimes, and hardly a recent one. It dates back to at least the time of Robin Hood in the -- 12th? 13th century? At that time, only the king's soldiers were allowed to carry weaponry. That's why the quarterstaff, as carried by John Little, was so popular. The soldiers could sweep into a village, round up all the sticks and burn them, and as soon as they were out of sight the men could pop into the woods and cut a new stick.
In more recent times, with the evolution of violent crime to include muggings, car-jackings, and home invasion, the right to bear arms has become tied to personal self-defense against one's fellow citizens as well. The thing is, criminals do not call ahead to book appointments, so you have to make your preparations based on what might happen. Just like buying insurance.
Personally, I feel that if you are going to keep a firearm in the house, you should be expected to be at least as accountable for it as you are for owning and operating a car. You should be required to take certain minimum training, and encouraged to take all the training you can. The government can reasonably be allowed to establish certain standards of quality for that training, and for security, although where the line should be drawn will forever be a bone of contention, and governments will always go beyond what is reasonable.
Other than that, owning a firearm should, ideally, be like owning any other piece of private property. None of anybody's business but yours.
There is nothing that cannot be found offensive by someone, somewhere.

Here is a picture of the seedlings I received 2 weeks ago via EBay. For the first week I had them outside in full shade due to the intense sun in Las Vegas. I decided to move them indoors due to the fact I had to leave town for six days and didn't think they would do well unattended for that time outdoors. So I moved into an east facing upstairs window and they responded beautifully. The ones that had dropped their leaves from transport had regained some by the time I returned. They all have a nice solid caudex. A couple of them have started to branch. As you can see I decided to experiment with one and cut its top off. Just curious if I should be topping them(atleast the ones that havent started branching). Should I feed them anything? Also, I've created a humidity tray underneath each of them to help with the dry air. Should I mist them? I think because they responded so well to their new placement I will leave them there until next spring. Thanks in advance for taking the time to read, |

Those seedlings are great. Good size for only 2 weeks! You must be really pleased with the little fellas Kind regards Averil UK |
karmaticflow: when you topped that 1 plant, what did you do with the piece you cut off. Could it grow a new plant with rooting hormone? |
- Posted by Karmaticflow none (My Page) on Sun, Jul 28, 13 at 23:09
Yes you can do that. From what I have read it is not an easy task. I will try to root the bigger taller tops. I actually have a larger plant outside that came from a cutting that I purchased from Home Depot. JR |

Just thought I'd post a picture of the seedlings I've been caring for for about the month. They all look good to me. Nice solid caudex. Growing taller and more leaves. That's always a good sign. I'm not expecting blooms this fall. I'm shooting for more branches and more blooms next spring. JR |
- Posted by Karmaticflow 9A (My Page) on Mon, Aug 5, 13 at 12:35
Here is a picture of the plants I've topped. I decided to cut one a week. So far I've done 3 so far. It looks like the one I cut last week has started to poke some branches out. The first one I cut two weeks ago is just showing signs of skin cracking to poke branches out. And the other I cut yesterday. I do have a question about topping. When you top your seedlings. How many nodes do you leave underneath where you cut? The 3 I've cut so far have atleast 6. JR |

JR: it's hard to tell from the photo. How tall are the cups? What size of bits did you use for the bottom holes? |
- Posted by Karmaticflow 9A (My Page) on Mon, Aug 5, 13 at 21:54
The cups are roughly 2.5 inches tall and there are 5 1/8th inch holes in the bottoms of the cups. Drain as much water as possible. The medium and holes drain very well. When I water I set out on my wood patio to allow water to drain and wood to pull excess water out. Then I move them back upstairs to 6+ hours of sunlight. JR |
JR, your seedlings look fantastic. I can see the new growth beginning to emerge from your seedling with the cut date of 7/22. I cannot wait to experiment with some of my newest babies. Good luck with yours. |

In Zone 9A, I don't understand why you aren't taking maximum advantage of sun and heat to optimize growth during the growing season. Why don't you have these outside in full sun (after a period of acclimation)? Here in Jacksonville, mine spend the entire summer in full sun. Scratching my head on this one. Carol in Jacksonville |
JR, Sounds like you are doing fine with them. I am sure once your new plants are established as you have only had for a short time and being bare root you will have them, in full sun for most of the day wuite soon. Older and more established plants can withstand the extreme heat, but bare rooted need time to establish a new root system for it to survive. Have a good time growing these. Rick |

Actually, he is missing out on time. If you don't care about progress (growth), then it is no big deal, because yes, they look healthy and happy and can carry on at a moderate rate where they are. But you only get so many months each year for good growth and we are in that period now. If you miss out, you miss out. You have to take advantage of good growing conditions while you have them. I germinated mine in a west-facing patio which gets a half-day of full sun, so my seedlings were acclimated upon "arrival". Adenium don't need a very long period to acclimate if moved from shade to sun - they thrive in heat and sun - so they should adjust well. Even if put in part shade, part sun, I would have these outside to take advantage of the heat. An air-conditioned house is not the same. This is just what I would do if these were my plants. They can be very satisfactorily kept where they are now and survive just fine. Carol |

Please keep in mind your zone 9A is completely different that mine. You're in a tropical zone 9A. I am in a desert zone 9a. I live in Las Wages, NV. Las Vegas for those who didn't get the joke. Your zone has humidity, a temp that rarely reaches 105 degrees consistantly, and rain. My zone 9a has no humidity, a temp that doesn't drop below 105 degrees very often in the summer, and very little rain. That being said. They get more sun where they are now. If I moved them outside they would get about 4hrs of direct sun. This is my first time trying to grow anything outdoors. Let alone adeniums. I have a bigger DR that has been outside all summer and has done just fine. I'm just babying the seedlings. So far I'm 10/10. I'm trying to keep it that way. I figure they will just do better next spring outside with more branches and leaves. This is of just MHO. Thanks for taking the time to read, |
- Posted by love_the_yard z9A Jax FL (My Page) on Tue, Aug 6, 13 at 19:24
JR, I didn't mean to imply that our zone numbers have any significance to my point. If I was in St. Louis, MO, where it is 106F, I would have my adenium outside. By the way, it's 100F in Thailand today, the adenium capital of the world. I'm just saying that you can't get this growing season back once it is gone. If significant growth doesn't matter to you, and you are just looking to keep them alive, and you are happy, keep them in the window. As a long-time gardener, I have learned that for me, it is important to take advantage of optimum growing conditions when I have them. Every March/April, my to-do list gets insanely long of all the things I want to get done while I have the growing season ahead of me. For me it is the busy time, as I know I won't be able to do things like root cuttings once I have lost the time. You can't get adenium to make a lot of progress in fall/winter, but you're right, there is always next spring. Happy gardening! |

Zimbabwe Teacher Want School Declared "Peace Zone" Ahead of Elections!
December 13, 2012 in Uncategorized
Teachers want schools declared "peace zones" ahead of the coming elections.
So the Teachers have given up hope of a free and fair election free of the scourge of violence and are therefore looking for a compromise solution: let the rest of the country be engulfed in the same orgy of violence as in 2008 but make sure school are left as islands of peace and tranquility. Yes I can just imagine Chipangano thugs on a war path having to give up the chase as soon as their victim enters the sanctuary of school. Erect an electric fence or laser guns to zapping up any Zanu PF thugs who dares cross into the school zone. What a joke!
Takavafira Zhou and the Progressive Teachers Union of Zimbabwe of which he is the President are behind this call. Mr Zhou told SW Radio Africa that the real problem lies in the unity government's failure make any real changes (to end the culture of violence) since 2008. Still that is hardly cause to push the panic button and to propose a down right stupid solution!

"Very yummy cake. Husband tasted a scrap piece (carved it flat for a layer cake) and said he thought it tasted like a brownie. Ive made it twice now. Once as cupcakes for my daughters school. Got rave reviews. "All my friends had chocolate mustaches!" -Jada, 4yrs."
"Perfect. Nice and silky and oh so chocolatey. Just what I needed."
"Yum! I didnt mash the berries, but it didnt matter. They were delicious! I think I may use this as a recipe for pancakes..."
"By far one of my favorite recipes for when I need a quick chocolate fix. Thanks for putting it in RecipeZaar so I can reference it quick! Mmmm!"
"Well that was absolutely delicious. I just ate one straight from the oven with a tad of melting butter and it was perfect. I worried that I should add vanilla and maybe cinnamon like others had mentioned, but I dont feel it needs it. I used 5 bananas and sweetened dried cranberries. Mmmm!"
"Delicious! I made these for my toddlers 3rd birthday and brought them to her daycare...where they were gobbled up by the kids and teachers. I didnt make the frosting, due to time constraints, but the cake part was great! Nice and moist..."
"I halved the recipe and used Kix instead, as I had no Chex. It came out perfect! I did add a little more powdered sugar because it was still a little sticky and didnt really look like any of the pictures (how white the other Monkey Munch looked). I also didnt have any bags to shake it up in, so I just used a big spoon and mixed it in the bowl. ..."
"Nice recipe! Ive made these twice now and both times my daughter and I loved 'em! I added a handful of chocolate chips and they were delicious! Thanks for posting!"
"Super good! This is an amazing pound cake. Velvety and moist. I froze half of it and ate the rest practically by myself!"
"Very good! I didnt even bother frosting since it was sweet enough. I may try less sugar next time and add the frosting, but its still a delicious cupcake base. Thanks!"

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Peanut -Adopted!!
Facts about Peanut -Adopted!
- Breed: Cocker Spaniel
- Color: Black
- Age: Young
- Size: Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less
- Sex: Female
Peanut -Adopted!'s Info...
I am already spayed, purebred, up to date with shots, good with dogs, and good with cats.
Adoption Pending: My name is Peanut and I am a very nice, 2 year old, black, small cocker girl with a natural tail. My brother Dusty and I were turned into a SC shelter, reasons why, unknown. I am dog social and a very good girl. I came here with bilateral cherry eyes and they had been tacked, but then I started having a problem again with one eye, so CCR had to take me back to the vet to get this taken care of again. Now it is fixed and I would love a home of my own. I am a nice, very sweet, happy girl who would just love to be your lap dog, a best friend and a favorite companion. I would love to have a home and someone to love me for the special little girl that I am. I know that I can make you very happy and I would really like to become your new baby girl. I will do best in a home without small children as my past is unknown, but these nice rescue folks have found out that I am ok with cats. And, I might just be a perfect companion for an older couple or someone who would love me just like if they had had kids. If you can give me the home that I deserve, then I would love to meet you! I will make you smile!!!
I have now been placed into a great foster home until I can be adopted.
Other Pets at Charlotte Cocker Rescue of NC
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Peanut -Adopted!, a Kannapolis Cocker Spaniel dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Cocker Spaniel for sale in Kannapolis, or seeking a Cocker Spaniel dog from a breeder in Kannapolis.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Kannapolis already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Kannapolis breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Cocker Spaniel breeders who help with Cocker Spaniel rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Kannapolis paves the way for another one to be saved.

No, this has nothing to do with pussy hijacking – rather, it's a unique boy-girl mutual masturbation technique wherein the guy's cock gets jacked off against the girl's pussy using her own natural vaginal lubrication as the ultimate wank juice! Basically a horny handjob with a genital twist, the male gets on his back whilst the female mounts him cowgirl style but, rather than simply fucking, reaches down between her legs and begins masturbating to stimulate the flow of succulent vagina juices which will be used as a sexual lubricant. Then, pressing her wet pussy firmly against the sensitive underside of his erect penis, massages his cock until it's glistening in the moist, slippery fruits of her feminine folds and begins jacking him off within the comforting cleavage of her labial caress. Honestly, this favourite mutual masturbation technique is, imho, the ultimate sexual intimacy a couple can achieve without penetration (erm, unless your wife or girlfriend has such a voluminous vagina that you're able to enter her pussy length-wise!)!
However, try as I might to find visual examples demonstrating this penis against pussy wanking style within the wilds of the porn world, my quest came to nought leaving me high and dry in terms of the niche content needed to complement my detailed description. And so, my only recourse was to once again turn to DIY porn (as I had in my Montgomery gland post on MyBoobSite) in order to capture this masturbatory practice in video form. So please forgive the somewhat amateur homemade porno quality of the clips, but here are Vix & I demonstrating this most marvellous of mutual masturbation methods in these pussy jacking videos from Tits-Out.com…
…and, lest ye think that this sexual activity is designed solely to stimulate the male pleasure principle, don't forget the female factor in this erotic equation. First off, any sexually ambiguous girl with androgynous aspirations (such as my wife) gets to pretend she has a penis – albeit one manifesting as an upside-down cock protruding from her pubic mound – and can experience first-hand wanking from the male perspective. Ah, but that's not all, as the friction of cock flange & frenulum rubbing against clit as your rigid shaft massages up & down the length of her lubricated labia lips – not to mention the pulsing of penis against pussy as you blow your load into the aethyrs (although, gravitationally speaking, this invariably results in getting a load of cum on your belly) – can be enough to stimulate clltoral orgasm!
But back to my own personal pleasure, there are three distinct reasons why I find this particular masturbation technique so immensely pleasurable: 1) you get to lie on your back whilst the girl does all the work, 2) you get that amazing tits in your face view of her big boobs bouncing whilst she busies herself with wanking and humping away on top of you, and 3) the pressure of her pussy against your cock as you cum can work like a cock ring both in extending your orgasm and maintaining your erection long after the jizz has left the building (the latter being an extremely beneficial bonus should your partner need to feel a cock in her cunt in order to cum)!
All in all, it's easy to see why I feel that the practice of pussy jacking rivals most any other method of mutual masturbation. And so, in order to finish up our foray into this fleshly fetish of phallus flossing with the euphemistic "happy ending" (although that wasn't the real ending, considering the cock slapping & cleanup to follow), once again here's our lovely consummate pussy jacker Vix milking my cock to completion caressed by the sublimely slippery cleavage of her self-lubricating labia lips in these mutual masturbation videos "cumming" courtesy of Tits-Out.com:
