Is morning shade and afternoon sun considered to be part shade/part sun or part sun/part shade? or either? Sometimes I get confused as to what I have. My garden is on the northwest corner of my house and it has morning shade and afternoon sun. When I purchase plants, I have no idea what to buy?
I purchased a Pieris Japonica Valentine today and not quite sure if it will grow well in morning shade and afternoon sun. The tag says it will grow to 2m. Thanks again for your help. |

ok .... a sun lesson ... SPEAKING GENERALLY .. so you can remember the theory.. and can research the science if you want ... or gal will come and enlighten you thoroughly .... and gal, i mean that as a compliment .... FULL SUN.. anything over 8 hours ... PART SUN.. anything less than 8 hours ... with me so far ... PART SHADE =' PART SUN .... still with me ... the ONLY difference between morning sun.. and afternoon sun.. is the heat of the day ... some plants need/want so much water .. that in late afternoon .. in full sun.. they wilt.. because they give off more water than they are holding or can process... so with those plants.. you would avoid afternoon sun .. because the plant and the soil will get too hot ... so far so good??? so reducing all your facts and worries down to the simple.. how water/heat tolerant is pieris ... and after all that.. i dont know.. because i never grew it ... lol .. all i do know.. is i have never seen one in full sun ... so if it were me .. based on simple logic ... i would plant it in afternoon shade ... any shade that keeps it out of the sun in the hottest part of the day .. say 2 to 4 pm .... to 6pm ... and.. as you move significantly south.. you would have to increase the shade for longer periods of the day ... please tell me the light went on.. and its all so simple now.. lol ... and if not.. i tried .... have a great day ken ps: plants are like us.. in august.. i do all my heavy garden work.. in the morning.. and rest in the afternoon.. because i would lose all my water content.. and pass out [or stroke out]... or.. wilt .. if i worked to hard in afternoon sun ... being the delicate flower i am ... lol .. so .. for me.. part afternoon shade is important ... lol |
If it is getting afternoon sun, I would consider that "full sun" as, in my area, that is the harshest condition possible. I'm not sure that Pieris can handle afternoon sun in 8b. Where are you located? |
Very good common sense Ken. I printed this out so I can refer to it. Thank you. Well, I would say it gets pretty hot there in the late afternoon. Hmmm, okay I should find another location or maybe it could be planted in front of the Katsura Maple that I intend to buy. (and please don't tell dh about the tree) lol Yes, Gardengal has been totally 'awesome' guiding me along. I don't know what I would do without this forum...thank you Ken. |
esh_ga I am located in Fraser Valley, BC, Zone 8a Thanks for the tip. I think I need to find another spot for it. I'd hate to 'fry' this pretty little shrub. |
If you have a cool yard with moist soil the exposure will be fine for pieris. Not the best place for them but you even see these planted in parking strips around here. Our region does not have the hot summers of the south and east, that even in the shade would kill some shrubs we can grow in sunny locations. Some years ago a friend helped me move a pieris from the west side of our house to a south-facing slope between our drive and the neighbor's drive. It definitely appreciates the water I give it now and then during the summer, but the blazing spot has not prevented it from growing well above head height. Starting with the many years in the first location this specimen has gotten hours of hot sun here since about 1965. |
Yes, knowing you are in Oregon makes a huge difference - 8a in Oregon is not the same as 8a in the southeast when it comes to afternoons. bboy has good regional advice for you then. |

who is in OR?? poster in british columbia canada??? esh in GA ... the inclination of the sun ... the intensity of the light in GA.. may as well put esh on mars .. lol ... once you get the sun thing in mind.. then you can start thinking regionally .... and those peeps south of the mason-dixon line .... KY/TN state line ... may as well be considered tropical .. compared to us in the the great white north... so you MIGHT get away .. with a bit more afternoon sun .. than they can .... then you throw in ... that the the wind currents of BC caused by the pacific ... you are actually a VERY BIZARRE zone 8 ... zone being MINIMUM winter temp ONLY ... you stay warmer because of the ocean effect .... more than would be indicated for how north you are ... because you are technically north of my great white north MI.. but warmer in winter.. go figure on all that ... so even though you are north of me.. you have warmer winters than me... whats that all about.. lol .. i have 1500 hosta ... the light went on for me.. after getting a beautiful hosta book by a british author ... and she listed nearly every hosta as full sun .... and after changing my whole database ... i realized that her full sun .. was not my full sun ... and it had everything to do with latitude ... the ladder to the northpole .. i am just below 45 degrees north.. or half way to the pole ... GBrit is near 60 degrees north ... and their version of full sun.. is much weaker than i am ... so they can grow.. what i call a shade plant.. in full sun ... GIVEN ENOUGH water and good soil ... etc.. etc. blah.. blah .. blah ... anyway.. i digress .. check out the link, and have a good day ken |

North does not always translate to colder :-) The OP (and much of the PNW) is located above latitude 47, which is pretty darn far north -- more northerly than just about anywhere else in the US. But it is also a modified marine climate, so benefits from ocean currents and predominate winter wind patterns to keep winter temps moderate. And this works the same for summer as well - never gets very hot here in summer. bboy and ken hit on it - the PNW summer sun is considerably less intense than the summer sun in more southerly areas. Plants that prefer part shade elsewhere can often be very successfully grown in full sun here. By and large, morning and sun and afternoon shade is the most desirable setting - protection from whatever heat might be generated by the afternoon - but provided soils are good and water provided as needed, that combo can be easily reversed. Pieris is often found in full sun locations here - sometimes doing very well, other times obviously stressed, although not necessarily from sun exposure alone. |
At the nursery, None of the plant tags say, morning shade and afternoon sun. What should I be looking for on the tag? Full sun/part shade or full sun? |
As mentioned earlier the heat during the afternoon means that an unshaded west wall of a structure or other location that bakes on summer afternoons is best furnished with full sun adapted or tolerant plants. The afternoon sun exposure there is not compensated for by the morning shade. Shade-loving plants go on the north and east sides of buildings, sun-loving on the south and west sides. An unobstructed full south exposure is a good place for kinds not getting enough heat in the open in this area. With heath family plants (including azaleas, pieris, rhododendendrons, salal...) the most critical general condition of the planting site is the nature of the soil. These must all have cool root runs. If a specimen is shading its own root zone adequately or other shrubs, rocks, or other sources of protection from cooking of the roots by hot sunshine is present many kinds of these will tolerate full exposure in this region. If the rooting area gets too hot this are liable to fail even when growing in full shade. This is why most kinds of rhododendrons cannot be grown in the deep South. |
tada...lightbulb just came on. I get it now. Shade loving plants on the east and north. Sun loving on the south and west. Just knowing this much really helps. I am going to get a Katsura maple to plant on the northwest corner of the house to provide some dappled shade to the perennial garden where I have my pieris, rhodies and heather. If I put anything else in there, I'll make sure it likes the sun. I'll continue to keep the plants roots cool by mulching. This weekend, I am going to dig a garden bed in the front of the house for shade plants. That part shouldn't be too difficult for me to figure out. lol Thanks bboy! |
Bumping this post and going back to the main point of the OP, because I have a similar situation. The north side of the house (which is pretty narrow) is in the shade all morning until about 1 pm, then it's full blazing sun the rest of the day. I know with a lot of the stuff I like to plant, mostly annuals and edibles, this would cause them to stretch out in the mornings and become leggy, then get blistered in the afternoon in full sun. Does anyone know of plants that can handle that weird combo of shade & sun? I'm willing to do annuals or perennials or whatever at this point, just something that will look halfway decent. |

: Dichotomy
Inspired by the complexities of living fully in all worlds at once, Dichotomy meditates on and celebrates the dual nature of existence. Composed of ribbons of energy that seek to capture the process of engaging all levels of being in order to be fully human, the sculpture reflects the natural strength and quiet majesty inherent in integrating the various levels of existence. As a result, the figure inhabits a serene meditative space, fully embracing a dichotomy of existences: anima and animus, male and female, conscious mind and unconscious mind, waking and dreaming.

2013 GA General Assembly Recap
Recap of the 2013 Georgia General Assembly by Niel Dawson
The 2013 Georgia Legislative session was one of the most active for bills relating to the construction industry that I have seen in my 17 years with the IEC! Fortunately, we are part of a coalition - the Specialty Contractors Coalition (SCC) that has a lobbyist (Lee Lemke) who was very much on top of these bills, and in the end, I believe we came out in very good shape. We also worked very closely with the entire construction industry, including the plumbers, HVAC and general contractors.
First, I would like to point out a few in particular that are very beneficial to us:
- HB 434 on Liens - This legislation clarifies that contractors/subcontractors have lien rights for the full amount of the contract for work successfully completed that is owed and due, including the general condition costs that a court had previously ruled were not lienable.
- SB 179 on PLAs - Last year Dekalb County put out a contract on county work that required a PLA (Project Labor Agreement/Union only), which probably only be the start of more to come. This legislation (assuming the Governor signs the bill) will not allow a PLA on contract that includes state funds. The AFL-CIO is already mounting pressure on the Governor not to sign the bill - you need to urge him to sign it!
- HB 361 on paycheck protection - If an employee chooses not to be part of a union, then unions can not require an employer to take money out of an employee's paycheck (not yet signed by the Governor).
- HB 188 on veteran's licensing - This legislation (already signed by the Governor) allows veterans to receive their electrical license IF they meet certain testing and experience requirement in the military that are comparable to those that civilians must meet.
Here's a comprehsensive list of bills that effect our industry from the 2013 session.

Atlanta City Council Adopts New Permitting & Inspections Reform
Earlier this year, representatives of Atlanta's Building Department met with IEC Board President and ED Niel Dawson, as well as other trade organizations, explaining their efforts to reform the building department. One of the most important components of the reform package was the establishment of an Enterprise Fund for the Department, versus the current process that charges and collects fees that are deposited into the city's general fund. Additionally, one other important component is the use of combination inspectors that will be phased in.
On November 7, 2011 the Atlanta City Council passed the final two ordinances of the Office of Buildings building permit reform package. This final milestone is the culmination of almost a year's worth of work by the City of Atlanta and the development community to bring about positive reforms within the Atlanta Office of Buildings. The building permit reform package and office restructuring will implement innovative methods to provide a better customer experience for the construction industry.
The building reform permit package will:
-Establish an Enterprise Fund where fees collected for the services provided will remain within the Office of Buildings for training and technology upgrades
-Update permit fees to support the improved permitting process and maintain training within the division
-Form an Enterprise Fund Committee to provide oversight and accountability to the Office of Buildings
-Authorize the Chief Financial Officer to transfer funds from FY 2012 general fund anticipations and appropriations to the Enterprise Fund
-Consolidate all permitting functions under one entity improving Atlanta's Insurance Services Organization (ISO) rating
-Clarify how the Board of Zoning Adjustments will operate after the consolidation of functions of various agencies that regulate permitting and zoning such as the Atlanta Fire Rescue Department and Department of Watershed Management into the Office of Buildings
-Train staff in International Code Council standards where they will receive $2,000 for each certification that is received and maintained
-Allow staff to perform multiple inspections under the combination inspector program.
The reforms will be phased in over the next year. You can learn more by reading the building reform package ordinances at the links below.

Reusable grocery totes are a popular, eco-friendly choice to transport groceries, but only 15 percent of Americans regularly wash their bags, creating a breeding zone for harmful bacteria, according to a survey by the Home Food Safety program, a collaboration between the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics (formerly the American Dietetic Association) and ConAgra Foods.
"Cross-contamination occurs when juices from raw meats or germs from unclean objects come in contact with cooked or ready-to-eat foods like breads or produce," says registered dietitian and Academy spokesperson Ruth Frechman. "Unwashed grocery bags are lingering with bacteria which can easily contaminate your foods."
Each year, 48 million Americans are affected by food poisoning caused by foodborne pathogens such as salmonella, listeria and E. coli.
"Food poisoning can easily be prevented with practical steps, such as cleaning grocery totes and separating raw meats from ready-to-eat foods when shopping, cooking, serving and storing foods," Frechman says.
According to Frechman, bacteria can be eliminated by:
"When grocery shopping, wrap meat, poultry and fish in plastic bags before placing in the tote, and use two different easy to identify totes; one for raw meats and one for ready-to-eat foods," Frechman says.
It's also important to separate raw meats from ready-to-eat foods when preparing food, she says. To stay safe in the kitchen, use two cutting boards: one strictly to cut raw meat, poultry and seafood; the other for ready-to-eat foods, like breads and vegetables.
"Don't confuse them, and always wash boards thoroughly in hot, soapy water or in the dishwasher after each use," she says. "Discard old cutting boards that have cracks, crevices and excessive knife scars."

CHICAGO -- For the second straight year, pitcher Morgan Ray has been selected the Gatorade Montana Softball Player of the Year.
Ray, a junior, helped Frenchtown win its second straight Class A state title last weekend. A 5-10 right-handed pitcher, she was 23-1 with a 0.72 ERA. She struck out 280 batters and walked just 28 in 145 innings.
Ray had 10 no-hitters, including one perfect game and held opponents to a .114 batting average. At the plate, she hit .598 with 12 home runs, 54 RBIs and a 1.253 slugging percentage.
Ray has already made a verbal commitment to play for Ohio State in the fall of 2015.

I think it's safe to say at this point, if you weren't already aware, that the Kitchener Rangers are an NHL factory. They now lay claim to the reigning Calder Trophy winner, Gabriel Landeskog, and will likely have another high draft pick to their credit by the conclusion of the 2012 draft in Radek Faksa.
Faksa is a big bodied center from the Czech Republic who possesses loads of offensive upside. As a rookie with the Rangers in the Ontario League, Faksa earned himself 67 points in 62 contests, a very respectable total for someone new to the CHL style of play.
Height: 6'3
Weight: 203
Position: Center
Born: January 9, 1994
What people in the know know
Rangers' head coach Steve Spott via The Hockey Writers
We know he's a world-class offensive player, but I think what makes him attractive to NHL scouts is the fact he might play earlier than expected because he's able to defend at what I consider an elite level right now.
Corey Pronman of Hockey Prospectus
Faksa is an above-average puck-handler and passer. While he still needs to develop his body a lot, he shows effort in the physical game and will attack the high percentage areas.
Rangers coach Steve Spott thinks he has another Gabriel Landeskog on his hands and though he has an obvious Kitchener bias, it's worth noting Faksa was an OHL rookie.
In that time, the Czech import has already leveraged his physical gifts to make an impact. "One of the better forwards available in the draft," said one scout. "Has size, skill and he's a great skater. He has adjusted well over here and uses his size and reach very well."
The youngest player taken to Alberta for the Czech world junior squad, Faksa acquitted himself well, but he will be even more integral next season when the tourney shifts to Russia. A concussion during the playoffs hindered Faksa's post-season run with the Rangers, but the bird-dogs love the frame he is building his game around. "Big, strong and he's going to fill out," said another scout. "He'll get some of that man strength. Real good poise with the puck."
There are many things working in Faksa's favor heading into the draft this year. He is coming from a dominant junior program that consistently churns out NHL talent, he is a big kid at 6-foot-3, 200 pounds, and he produced at a high rate in his first year in North American play. He is a lock to go early on in the draft, it's just a matter of where.
I have him slotted in at 12 to the Buffalo Sabres, though there will be plenty of teams taking a long look at him.

Four-time Felon Exiled to 15 Years on Gun Charges
Baltimore, Maryland - U.S. District Judge J. Frederick Motz sentenced Andre Kirby, age 29, of Baltimore, today to 15 years in prison, followed by five years of supervised release, for being a felon in possession of a firearm, announced United States Attorney for the District of Maryland Rod J. Rosenstein. Judge Motz enhanced Kirby's sentence upon finding that he was an armed career criminal based on four previous narcotics convictions.
According to Kirby's plea agreement, on May 2, 2008, Baltimore City Police Department detectives received a tip regarding an individual with illegal narcotics and firearms in the 900 block of North Chester Street in Baltimore City, Maryland. Detectives, working in plainclothes and in an unmarked vehicle, approached Kirby's car, which was parked in that area. The detectives noticed a distinct smell of burnt marijuana and Kirby acknowledged that he had just finished smoking a blunt - street slang for a hollowed-out cigar used to smoke marijuana. Kirby was detained and his car was searched. Detectives recovered: a Ruger, .45 caliber pistol, loaded with seven .45 auto caliber cartridges; and a Ruger, .357 caliber revolver, loaded with six .357 magnum caliber cartridges; and $1,024 dollars in cash from Kirby. The firearms were submitted for DNA testing which resulted in a positive match for Kirby.
United States Attorney Rod J. Rosenstein thanked the Baltimore City State's Attorney Patricia C. Jessamy and Assistant State's Attorney Brandis Marsh, the Baltimore Police Department and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives for their assistance in the investigation and prosecution. Mr. Rosenstein commended Assistant U.S. Attorney John W. Sippel, who is prosecuting the case.

I've replaced scented and harsh shower gels and only use this now. Very pleased with it as it does not aggravate my chronic uti problem.
Alpha Keri is a brand of products specifically for dry skin. The Intensive Cream Cleanser is a creamy, low lathering facial cleanser that costs around $10AU for a 300ml bottle. I don't have dry skin but I've used other Alpha Keri products before so picked this up on a whim. It's lovely. It is ph balanced, gentle enough to use on the eyes, takes of light makeup (including eye makeup), leaves no residue and definitely doesn't block pores or make my skin oil. It contains medical grade lanolin and 15% glycerin, so if you don't like these ingredients then stay away from this product. Vewry economical as I find a pea sized amount is enough for my face and neck. I often use it with a cleansing brush to get extra foam. I would highly recommend this to anyone who is looking for one cleansing product that does everything and who likes a foaming cleanser but doesn't want something drying. Two thumbs up!

You will love the Beach Club!! The pool is fantastic!!
The last time I was there, we had a balcony that faced Epcot - so we were able to see the higher fireworks from Illuminations from there! But just a word of warning.... If you do have an Epcot facing balcony, get ready - the finale echos off of the building and it sounds like you are under attack!!

Fun with MongoDB replica sets
Though we've already established how much we like MongoDB, we felt it appropriate to keep the love train going because of another great feature: MongoDB replica sets and how we're using them at foursquare.
Replica sets are super useful because they provide automated replication and failover, even in sharded clusters. Previously our clusters were running master/slave replication, which worked well but required us to do a lot of manual work if we needed to fail over to a slave. It also required us to hack in our own solutions to make the slaves available for read-only queries. Replica sets directly addresses both of these problems.
Replica sets have been available since MongoDB 1.6, though some more interesting refinements were rolled out in 1.8, which made our transition to replica sets go a little more smoothly. What's nice about them is their simplicity. As you'll see, setting up automated failover for a sharded database cluster is as simple as starting up mongo server instances and entering some commands in the mongo shell. Even the migration path from master/slave replication is pretty straightforward.
We won't go too much into how replica sets work. Instead, we'll describe how we set up a few of our replica set configurations and the motivations behind them.
1. Straight-up replica set with arbiter node
We have a couple single-master/single-slave clusters that we converted to a replica set with a primary and secondary node plus an arbiter node. This is probably the least complex configuration for a replica set in our database setup. To do the conversion, we updated all the mongod configuration files with the following options:
fastsync = true
rest = true
The fastsync
option allows nodes to come online quickly if they have data that is relatively up to date with the primary node (i.e. the oplog is large enough on the secondary node to have buffered writes from the primary while being restarted). The rest
option enables a really cool admin UI for diagnostic purposes, which is useful if you're running an external monitoring tool like Ganglia or Nagios.
We also added an ec2 instance dedicated to running mongod
s as arbiters. These mongod
processes are lightweight and only participate in an election process. Though running a single ec2 instance for this purpose introduces a single point of failure, we felt that having to maintain just one node was a reasonable trade off for our less critical clusters.
After restarting the master mongod
with the new configuration options, we executed the following commands in the mongo shell:
> rs.initiate() // initialize with a fresh replica set config
"info" : "Config now saved locally. Should come online in about a minute.",
"ok" : 1
auxdb:PRIMARY> rs.add("auxdb-1:27017") // add another node
{ "ok" : 1 }
auxdb:PRIMARY> rs.addArb("auxdb-arbiter:27017") // add the arbiter node
{ "ok" : 1 }
At this point, we update our app code to pass the host/port list of the replica set members to the MongoDB driver to configure the connection to the replica set. Note we specify port 27017 in the config; MongoDB assumes that port by default, but we specify it here for clarity. The driver automatically figures out which node in the set is the primary node should a failure occur. Magic!
2. Replica set with dedicated read slaves and single backup node
We have a few clusters that are particularly read-heavy. Replica sets give us read-scaling with the "slaveOk"
option, which we can set on a per-connection basis with "mongo.slaveOk()"
. Secondary nodes receive read queries, but all writes still go to the primary node. In addition, we keep a single backup node and prevent it from receiving any read queries by configuring it as a hidden
node. We do this so that new nodes can perform an initialSync
from it without impacting production traffic.
Again, we update the configuration files, restart the mongod
s, and connect to the cluster with the mongo
> rs.initiate()
"info" : "Config now saved locally. Should come online in about a minute.",
"ok" : 1
cluster2:PRIMARY> rs.add("db-1:27017")
{ "ok" : 1 }
cluster2:PRIMARY> rs.add("db-2:27017")
{ "ok" : 1 }
cluster2:PRIMARY> rs.add("db-3:27017")
{ "ok" : 1 }
cluster2:PRIMARY> rs.add({ "_id" : 4, "host" : "db-backup:27017", "priority" : 0, "hidden" : true })
{ "ok" : 1 }
db-backup:27017 is like a regular secondary node that receives updates from the primary node, but because it's hidden it doesn't receive queries and is ineligible to become primary should an election be triggered. New nodes that we bring online are configured like this:
3. Shard on top of replica set with dedicated read slaves
This is like the previously described setup except we back a shard with a replica set, and mongos
is configured with the replica set host/port information. This setup combines some of MongoDB's most powerful features in a fashion similar to how drives are organized in a RAID 1+0 array. We find that this configuration simplifies our operational management for our larger clusters and allows us to scale out horizontally with ease.
We had already created a sharded database configuration and set up mongos
and mongod
config servers. In addition, each shard was already running a master/slave setup. To convert these clusters to use replica sets, we just went through the steps in number 2 above for each node in the shard and reconfigured the mongos
> db.shards.update({ _id : "shard0000" }, {"$set" : { "host" : "sharddb/shard-0-a:27017,shard-1-a:27017,shard-2-a:27017,shard-3-a:27017,shard-backup-a:27017"} })
One nice thing about this is our app driver config doesn't need to change. mongos
is smart enough to not only determine which node in the set is the primary node, but also find other nodes in the set that weren't added to the shard configuration initially. We also set slaveOk()
in our connection setup and fan out our reads across the nodes in the shard.
That's it!
If this all looks simple, it's because it is. We've been very pleased with how replica sets have smoothed out the bumps in handling operational emergencies as well as for general maintenance and scaling out. Our next step is to configure our replica sets for data center awareness, which is not fully supported but workable with the latest version of MongoDB. Yay Mongo!

Arizona State Sun Devils
Graham, Devils prepare for triple option
Head coach Todd Graham and the Arizona State Sun Devils are preparing for an offense unlike anything they have ever seen.
When they take on Navy in the Kraft Fight Hunger Bowl, the Devils will be trying to find a way to stop the Midshipmen's potent triple option attack.
"Their offense is one that is very difficult to get TFLs (tackles for loss) on because very few negative yardage plays because you are quick hitting, dives, the triple option inside," Graham said.
The Arizona State defense has done a good job pressuring the quarterback and stopping the pass this season, but that won't help too much against the run-heavy Navy attack.
"Their strength is a challenge for us because if there is anything that we probably haven't done as well against and where we need to make the most improvement is in our run defense," Graham said.
If Graham's Devils expect to slow down the sixth-ranked rushing attack in the country, they will need to stop true freshman quarterback Keenan Reynolds, who leads the team with 10 rushing touchdowns.
According to Graham, the scout team has been trying to simulate Reynolds and the triple option attack with freshman wide receiver Parker Rasmusson and other athletes manning the quarterback position.
"The problem is that their quarterback can throw it and do all that, it's tough to simulate. I think he is the key to their offense," Graham said. "I have been very impressed."
Despite ASU's lack of success stopping the run this season and their lack of experience against the triple option, Graham said he doesn't plan on adjusting his usual game plan much.
"We are going to do what we do," Graham said. "It boils down to fundamentals, blocking, tackling and being sound in what you're doing."

This six storey mixed-use building to be located at a busy and prominent intersection in the Chinatown neighbourhood of New York City is developed by ABS Partners Real Estate LLC and First Pioneer Properties and designed by New York based STUDIOS architecture.
The design responds to the frenetic and freestyle character of the neighbourhood while offering its future tenant lots of flexibility and a potential branding opportunity on the building's façade, which has an integrated digital skin capable of displaying text and video throughout the day and evening.
The media façade is made of horizontal ribbons of LED, which does not block views for tenants but rather behaves much like a horizontal window shade. The screen is attached to the exterior curtain wall and also functions to reduce solar heat gain and glare to the floor-to-ceiling windows.
The first and second floors will include retail space for a single tenant with good exposure to potential customers with its prominent corner position. The office tenants access is through a secondary lobby positioned off to the side of the site and could be outfitted to accommodate multi-tenant or single tenant scenarios.

Apr 26th 2009 4:32PM Being witness to misdeeds of the old Horde doesn't change a damn thing. Thrall has been witness to Alliance atrocities and has the grace to overcome - Wrynn is small-minded and acting out of a sense of personal indignation at what he endured. He is not justified.
Hell, he's not even a good character.
Other lore characters cowtow to him when ICly they probably wouldn't put up with the guy, were he not king of stormwind. His past is a collection of cliches and poor justification (hot wife who got fridged? Check. Stupid amnesia subplot? Check. Super gladiator?

I'm tired of people defending him. As a character he's not only morally reprehensible, but a horrible piece of writing. No amount of propping up what the writers have already told us is going to change anything.

Athenahealth Stock Is Definitely Worth 1,000-Times Earnings, According To Athenahealth CEO
By Jon ShazarJonathan Bush is not in the business processing outsourcing business, or the enterprise software business, or the software-as-a-service business. (He's in the software-enabled services business, whatever that means.) And the Athenahealth CEO is certainly not in the stock-valuation business.
Still, the nephew and cousin of presidents is pretty sure that David Einhorn meant to say that Athena stock—already trading at a frothy 100-times earnings—"could easily soar 800% or more" when he actually said "could easily fall 80% or more." Well, maybe not that sure, but all the same.
"I'm absolutely sure this is a $1,000 a share stock," Bush said in a "Squawk Box" interview. "I have no idea when it gets there."
But he admitted: "I don't know anything about valuations, so for all I know [Einhorn] is right."

This article would be a perfect buy idea on Seeking Alpha. All the retirees buying REITs for the 15% dividend would eat this shit up.
So would all the hedge funds that loaded upon tech last quarter. (Oops!)
Glass houses my friend, glass houses. -
Prescott Bush must turning over in his grave.
"I don't know anything about valuations…"
Maybe Cheney could show him the ropes….
Was buying those REITs wrong? Should I not have done that?
"I'm absolutely sure this is a $1,000 a share stock," Bush said in a "Squawk Box" interview. "I have no idea when it gets there."
When you reverse split 8:1, that's when.
This is about par for the Bush family.
Famous other quotes:
"Read my lips, no new taxes" ….before raising them, and lowering them for rich folk
"Mission Accomplished" ….before continuing to try to win a war for another 5 yearsActually, by this logic, SHORT THE FUCK OUT OF THIS SHITSTOCK
I think you might be a little off on your ratio but otherwise I have no concerns.
– Guy who is short
Let's see US$4B market capitalization, a Bush running the company. Generally that's a large loss pending, but there is the Government Subsidy aspect that worked for the Texas Rangers…
So it will be $1,000 a share when (let's be optimistic) there are only 3.5-3.75MM shares outstanding.
When will the buyback be announced?
It changes by the second.
– Guy who takes Extenze
It changes by the second.

I just opened a tumblr account and my world is exploding. There are so many beautiful images and after years of focusing on the three-dimensional design object, my love of the flat image is resurfacing – pardon the pun – yet, I didn't find this Argentinian graphic designer and illustrator through tumblr but through a random Google search for 'swooning woman' that led to a blog dedicated to wedding invitations. The invitation I landed on was really quite lovely but it was the typeface that stole the show. Ever since I began writing blogs, I've been on the myfont.com mailing list – and somehow I've spared their emails from the 'send to spam' filter I impose on every other email newsletter to guard against ignored unsubscribes. Instead, I find myself reading their interviews with typography designers even though I doubt I'm their target readership.
Typography is fascinating and endless. It's where the human hand meets the digital world in a harmony that doesn't compromise the purity of either. Unsurprisingly, my hunt for Laura led me back to MyFonts and then to her website where I found these beautiful illustrations on the theme of travel.

And what could make Buenos Aires look more enticing than this?
As delightful as her illustrations are, as uplifting and musical as her spindly and curvilinear typefaces can be, the patterns that fill her drawings could be marvelous textiles. As wallpapers, they surely would be a hit.

This one makes me think of Barcelona's beloved icon, Gaudi – and art nouveau which had a big influence on Gaudi and this city. There is a large Argentinian population in Barcelona (almost 9,000 according to a 2011 government report) and I do think the two cities share a commonality – a playful, unpretentious, vibrant mishmash of bold shapes and spirited juxtapositions heavily influenced by art nouveau but also incredibly contemporary. Some of her patterns are strongly reminiscent of the tiling of old Barcelona apartments for example.
Here is one of her commercial designs, of which there is no shortage; In 2006, Varsky received a Latin Grammy as Art Director for best record packaging.

Design duo Marisol Gonzalez and Esther Lopez have created a clean, simple yet powerful collection of indoor / outdoor furniture for their debut. Using reclaimed wood and metal scaffolding they've relied on simple lines and arresting forms that would integrate seamlessly into a workspace or living space where an cluttered space equals an uncluttered mind.
The first collection is called Andamios which means scaffolding in Spanish. The second collection made only of wood is called, you guessed it, "Wood". (They use the English word in this case.)
Esther, the daughter of a cabinetmaker, and Marisol, a graphic designer who worked at an agency in Madrid before coming back to Barcelona, were restless and ready to start their own company once their children were old enough.
They count Berlin, Rio, minimalism, combining materials, re-use over recycling — as among their inspirations.
I met them at their opening party in a pop up shop tucked in the back of the Antonio Miro store on Rambla de Catalunya.

review by Grant Berridge Crew
The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus 2009
Grant Berridge's review:
Terry Gilliam always makes shit movies.
He made this movie.
It's shit.
75 Comments
@aaron: for sure. I'd rather watch an interesting but flawed film that a trite bit of nothing. The Fountain is a good example of an interesting film that doesn't quite gel, but has scenes in it that I'm still mulling over. Also (?)What dreams may come -- also a failure but an interesting one.
What Dreams May Come \o/ man i have to try and get the blu-ray of that some day.
Vincent Ward has some interesting films in his cabinet. I really liked Vigil and A State of Siege (student film) which was based on the short story by Janet Frame. He did another interesting film, also set on a farm in New Zealand, but I can't for the life of me remember what it was called.
Actually I've got it all wrong! Navigator is the film I was meaning for Vigil and vice-versa. D'oh.
mmmm brilliant line of though man
It's interesting that you thought Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas was brilliant, yet condemned the man behind it to eternal shithood. I do think that it may be his best film and I'm not a totally head o'er heels fan, but I, of course, loved the Python flicks he directed (including the 2-D cutout bits), I did love Brazil as a teen (never revisited it [I'm 30 now]), I thought 12 Monkeys was also quite great as a teen (though, just 'good' as an adult, upon revisiting), I thought Tideland was compelling (but it crept into 'greatly flawed' as it dragged on), yet still I am very interested in his latest full-length effort The Zero Theorem: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Zero_Theorem
I should also make it known that I've never seen the film specifically in question here, but have illegally downloaded it and will give it a whirl...
Having now read more of this thread I don't think it makes any sense to lump Gilliam and Burton together. There is the most minor of surrealistic overlap between them, but that's it. It's like comparing Magritte to Dali, for instance. Both are surrealist but in entirely different ways, and Burton "sold old" so much more thoroughly than Gilliam ever could. Gilliam did that Brothers Grimm flick explicitly for the sake of financing his latest avante garde pet project (much like Crispin Glover did several horrible mainstream roles in order to fund his absolutely bonkers films of late).
Even an explicitly commercial film like Brothers Grimm has interesting moments. There's something compelling about Terry Gilliam's movies. He had me at Time Bandits. I'd like to see that one again.
Movies that don't make sense can be very interesting. If they don't make sense to the intellect but strike bells in some other way... well. I was young and impressionable but the swinging cage(s?) in Time Bandits had an apocalyptic effect on me. That's Terry Gilliam's gift, a certain numinous something.

Any DW techies out there? Last night I turned on my DW, heard it fill and shortly after there was a loud bang. I ran over to investigate, all the cycle lights on the door were off, DW was off and all the water was on my floor.
Top of the line, KA, 14 months old. Has been working perfectly since day one and I love it. I've called the man to come out Thursday, but was wondering what I should be prepared for. |
Follow-Up Postings:
I have a freind with the same history. Damaged the flooring and the ceiling below. After the second time he went with a different brand. I can recommend Miele. |
- Posted by weedmeister (My Page) on Tue, Aug 7, 12 at 18:46
the drain hose popped off my friend's. Ruined the wood floor. |
I think you might want to consider pulling the DW out before the repairman arrives and get any water mopped up. It could be as simple as the drain hose falling off. |
Technician just left- it was the Sump pump. I learned a lesson about not renewing a Warranty (will never let a warranty lapse again), but the tech called KA and they are picking up the cost of the part since this is a very unusual occurence in an almost brand new DW. |
RE: not renewing warranty. Having a warranty does not necessarily (or perhaps ever) get you faster service. You might also consider how many other appliances you have that have not needed service and compare the total cost of those warranties against the cost of this (plus any other) repair. It is very nice to hear that ka picked up the pump cost. |

Right.. Let's be clear on this: I love the miniatures... In my opinion they are the best 1/144 scale WWI mini's available bar none.
This means that they are very collectable and that they eventually will take up too much space on your desk or in your cupboard or wherever you want to stack them.
I 've put them on a shelf where i can admire them whenever I want but as I''ve ordered some new ones , the little aerodrome on the shelf is rapidly going to become too crowded for comfort.
An other problem is that whenever I want to take them with me to a friend to do some dog-fighting I have to put hem in a cardboard -box lined with some soft material to have them survive the trip.
I was thinking of building a wooden foam lined box to carry them but i want to get some input from some forumites here.
I am waiting for your idea's guys!
Let me know how you handle the storage and transport problem of your favourite little aircraft!

Simple urine test predicts AKI in sepsis patients
Tuesday, 15 May 2012- A simple and inexpensive urine test appears to predict which sepsis patients will go on to develop an acute kidney injury (AKI), researchers said here.
Patients who were found to have de novo dipstick proteinuria had a significantly higher risk of AKI (P=0.001), Dr. Javier Neyra of the Henry Ford Hospital in Detroit, and colleagues reported at the National Kidney Foundation meeting.
"This test is cheap, it's available, and it has predictive value for acute kidney injury in sepsis," Neyra told MedPage Today.
About 30% of patients with severe sepsis develop AKI, and the vast majority (87%) have microalbuminuria. Some previous research has shown a correlation between the degree of microalbuminuria and the severity of AKI and death, but using albuminuria as a predictor of AKI hasn't been tested, Neyra explained.
Clinicians look at serum creatinine, he added, but the pathophysiology of sepsis may alter creatinine production, which could delay diagnosis. So researchers are looking for other biomarkers to provide a more timely diagnosis of AKI before substantial damage has been done.
Because intensivists and emergency room physicians use dipstick proteinuria testing as a routine part of admission, Neyra and colleagues assessed 328 sepsis patients, admitted to their facility between January 2004 and July 2011, who had no recent history of protein in the urine.
They found that 64% of patients had a rise in serum creatinine above 0.3 mg/dL within the first 72 hours of admission.
Among these patients, new onset dipstick proteinuria was found in 54%, which made for a positive predictive value of 75% (P<0.001). It was also found in 55% of patients who developed AKI, for a positive predictive value of 60% (P=0.002).
In a multivariable regression analysis that controlled for age, gender, race, comorbidities, hemodynamic status, and other factors, Neyra and colleagues found that dipstick proteinuria at admission was a significant predictor of AKI (OR 2.3, 95% CI 1.4 to 3.8, P=0.001).
Neyra told MedPage Today that other predictive biomarkers, such as NGAL or KIM-1, are also being investigated in sepsis and AKI, but that these newer biomarkers would be far more expensive to test for than routine dipstick proteinuria.
However, he cautioned that further studies are needed "to fully elucidate the significance of new-onset dipstick proteinuria in AKI." Dr. Lynda Szczech, president of NKF, said in a statement that dipstick proteinuria "may allow providers to intervene early and prevent [AKI] from developing. Given the increased risk of developing chronic kidney disease later in life after an episode of AKI, this is especially significant."

I have a huge burning bush in my front yard that desperately needs to be trimmed back. As I live in Michigan, normally the beginning of March would not be a great time to prune, however with the warm winter we've had, I already see it starting to bud. Is it ok to prune now? |

Put a cork in the snark, Ken. It is so tiresome. how hard would it be to offer constructive suggestions, without the attitude, to a new member asking for advice ? Mintjulep - welcome to Gardenweb! I don't know a lot about burning bushes, but they are fairly indestructible, so you probably can prune now without too much issue, |
Cutting this back part way is ugly, best bet to cut whole thing down to low stumps and start it over. Will grow back pretty quickly, but in meantime you have a smaller top for some years - that looks natural, rather than lopped and stubby, with new sprouts going off in wrong directions. If the shrub is budding out you will want to get the job done soon. |

Take a look at this bow tie necklace and the adorable designs by Etsy shop owner Freena or 'Fr33na.' What better way to take part in the bow tie comeback than to wear one around your neck as jewelry?
Freena has created these hand-stitched bow ties that hang from an antiqued copper chain. Each bow tie necklace comes in a cute custom box tied with a colorful string and a Freena-handmade business card.

I ordered rose gold. However it just did't suit me , has and worked on so many others though.
This is a luxury, truly radiant body glow. It does In fact impart an even skin tone, a touch of color and smells good too.
Cons. Bigger tubes,please. This is a pricey product, and one tube doesn't last long enough. Definitely order two tubes at least.
Please make a an 8oz tube ASAP! How about a limited edition jumbo size, pretty please.
This is worth buying at least once. You will not regret it, I promise. (Posted on 11/29/13) - LOVEReview by Chitara

Melanie's Tips
This is the perfect size for using on the face, or as a sidekick for layering or highlighting with other shades.
I fly a lot, and this convenient tube is the perfect size for travel on planes. It's always in my carry-on!
3.5 oz
I personally use Body Radiance everyday, and go through one of these sizes every 4-6 weeks, depending on how much skin is showing. I'd suggest this size for anyone that plans on using Gleam Body Radiance as a body lotion.
