a very lovely hostal, beautiful cabanas, even though its on the main rd with traffic noise it offers peaceful and tranquil atmosphere. Lots of birds and nature too, love the landscaping around the cliff and rocks, the rooms are extremely clean, large could probably do with a table and chair to write on, but I think some cabanas do have that. The staff are incredibly warm, hospitable and accommodating, No request was too big, your comfort ad happiness was their main priority. I would return here!

In the end, you have a car assembled from lots of different parts, an automotive Frankenstein. Once JD Motorsports completed the assembly task for us, the Focus V-8 delivered the power and the performance we expected. A run on one of DynoJet's dynamometers indicated 250 hp at the rear wheels, about what you'd expect from a Mustang 5.0. This Focus V-8 weighed only 2919 pounds, and the weight distribution was virtually identical to that of a front-wheel-drive Focus. It turned the quarter-mile in 14.9 seconds at 95 mph, and 60 mph came up in 6.1 seconds.
But, as in Mel Brooks's Young Frankenstein, the monster didn't exactly emerge from the laboratory in a white tie and tails, ready to go onstage and sing the refrain from Irving Berlin's "Puttin' on the Ritz." It had some major issues.
To start with, the too-small fill pipe to the fuel tank made the car burp gasoline on its rear fender once it drank a gallon or two, and re-fueling became a messy, torturous process. The newly built exhaust system would frequently clatter against the rear suspension. The cable-actuated clutch required a lot of pedal effort, and the transmission's short-throw shift lever came close to fouling against the driver's seat. The engine leaked oil through a sump plug, an exhaust header worked loose, and an engine pulley machined through the electrical contacts for the radiator fan. One tactical error was converting the base Focus disc-drum brake system to four-wheel discs using unsuitable aftermarket calipers and rotors. The resulting pedal action was very, very long, while the rear brakes always locked first. We solved most of the problems (few of which had anything to do with Kugel-engineered parts), and it's fair to say they were simply the kind of mechanical glitches you see in any handbuilt project car. In the end, though, we wondered about the kind of car we had created.
A project car always begins with the idea of pumping up one aspect of its personality, and we ended up with a terrific piece for bracket racing on the drag strip. The Focus V-8 is a completely outrageous car, and you can have one of your own for about $20,000 (not including the Focus platform) if you contact JD Motorsports (www.ford-v8-focus.com). Just like any project car, the Focus V-8 gave us the thrill of creating something unique with an extreme personality. The looks on staffers' faces as they turned the key and heard the mean V-8 burble-from a Focus of all things!-at California Speedway on their first acquaintance made all the heartache worthwhile. Sort of.
But there's a dark side to a project car, too. When we discarded so many of the bland aspects of the Focus's performance profile, we lost a lot of the car's utility as well. The Focus V-8's 215/45YR-17 tires and total lack of chassis development deliver barely 0.80 g of grip, which doesn't make this car a good choice for autocrossing or even taking to the grocery store.
Although it can be fun to have Frankenstein as a pal, there are times when you'll wonder what you could possibly have been thinking when you decided to put the monster together. But it sure does sound great.

Zest. It's something distinctive, invigorating, and can brighten a dull day or a bland dish. Zest is flavor and character, spark and spirit. It's what Edmond "Eddie" Le Draoulec, who passed away earlier this week after a long illness, had in spades and lavished on his daughter, who spreads it around in kind.
Pascale is in California with her mother and sister, and expects to be back in Hastings in a few days.
A personal essay she wrote about her father — proud, impeccable waiter, charming raconteur, sterling family man — was published in Saveur magazine a few years ago. In her reading of the piece, recorded for NPR's "The Splendid Table," discover the essence of human affection and the heart of Pascale's food — and farmers' market — story.
ALSO THIS WEEK: Batter up! You can register in-person for Little League from 9 to 1 p.m. at the Community Center during market hours. This will be the last day to qualify for the early-bird discount.
AND: Please try to attend our community forum about the farmer's market this evening at the Library at 7 p.m. This is an opportunity for residents and shoppers to let us know how we are doing. Please come share your thoughts!

Have you ever had one of those? It was basically thre or four minute of the most disturbing crap I'd ever seen. Not nesiccerily bloody or gorey disturbing, like in the Grudge when the little girl looks up and she has no jaw, just like, weird shit. And now that I like back at the disturbing stuff it doesn't seem disturbing really, just sort of weird, but it was in my dream.
For example, I'm sitting in this really old room, sort of like a castle's living room you could say. There's a fireplace, and then there is a small impression in the wall which sort of sets apart the fireplace from the rest of the room. And in that depression, there's a baby. She's a little girl, not really a baby, but she's little, and she's playing with blocks. And just as I look at her, she looks up at me, and changes. She sort of morphs into this, say one year old baby boy, then the boy's face morph back into the little girl's face, then the body changes into the body of a six year old little boy, and the face changes to that of a one year old girl.
At this point my dream self is freaked, so I jump back, or try to, but I actually get closer. The whole time the baby is just smiling at me. Then his/her face turns really strange. It's gets really pink and block like, like a mix of an animated painting and a doll, and she starts laughing at me. And her face changes back and forth as she's laughing. Like, it morphs into the doll thing when she laughs, then she inhales with a normal face and laughs out with the doll face and so on.
Anyway, has anyone else ever had dreams like this?
Edit: I just remembered one scene that was kind of gory.
It goes something like this. I'm sitting in this sort of crater in the earth. The ground is all flat, and scattered about there are these massive black rocks. Then in the center there is a little pool of water. It's not a normal pool of water. I can't describe it well, but trust me. Anyway, the little girl in the disturbing shit above is sitting on my lap, and I can hear her laughing, so I'm already freaked. But when I lean over to look at her face it's fine. She's a normal little girl, all is good. PHEW! Oh Shit, but what's that!? The pool of water has ripples in it. But shit, I mean ripples like, high frequncy waves going about 1000 beats per second, and the surface on the water isn't even broken. Then, oh shit, what's that? From the center of the pool (the pool is perfectly round, by the way) this girl starts rising up. She's perfectly still, deathly white hair, white night gown, and very pretty. Oh. Come to think of it, I've seen her before. She's the Real Chii that is my avi and is in my siggy under Real Chii.
Anyway, as I'm leaning over the little girl on my lap to see, the little girl on makes this noise, and I look down at her and BAM. It's the girl from the pool of water. I'm sitting indian style, and she's on my lap facing me with her legs wrapped around me. And that's all good because she's really cute. Hey, maybe this will turn into some sexual fantasy or something good like that! And just as I think that, her ****ing eyes melt. When I say melt, I don't mean they melted away, like, into nothing. I mean they ****ing liquify and pour out of her skull onto my lap. Then, she starts blooding from every orifice on her body. THEN, and this one takes the cake, her jaw and throat tear open all the way down to her breasts and she 'pukes' the little girl that was sitting on my lap up into my lap. And to top things off, the little girl is now dead (obviously) slit throut, broken neck, and her ****ing stomach is torn open.
So much for the no gore thing I said.

Managing notes with Treeline
Mindmaps are useful for organizing ideas and data. Treeline is a promising mindmap tool for KDE.
Treeline [1] is a mind mapping tool that helps users apply order to the chaotic task of data collection. The Python-based Treeline relies on PyQt [2].
Treeline organizes data in a tree structure. Each element (or node) in the tree can contain an arbitrary number of data fields of different types. There is no restriction to the number of nodes. Various sorting functions help users search the data collection. The program focuses on structured management but also provides print and export functions that let users convert their data into a variety of formats.

"my girlfriend and i used this recipe tonight. it was the first time i had ever made country fried steak, and boy... it was some of the best country fried steak i've ever had! we only had skim milk, so i anticipated some pretty watery, unpleasant gravy, but even with no fat, it was still nice and thick and creamy. overall, this recipe is perfect......"
"very good! i use this gravy whenever i make garlicky mashed potatoes and (well... also garlicky) meatloaf, and the whole meal is a big hit around the house. i've taken to adding a bit of onion powder and a couple cubes of beef bouillon, as i've got a deadly penchant for salty foods, but hey... that's just me. anyhow, thank you for the recipe!"

Land Rover LR3 Tires and Wheels
british_rover Posts: 8,476
hmfig Posts: 3No, I'm in the US. I looked for it on the Kumho site and they are listed if you search for tires under the size tab. But there wasn't much info. I'm wondering where these tires came from. Maybe they are a discontinued model or something. I just made an appt w/the LR dealer for Thurs to check out everything. I have a couple other minor things to get fixed. Can a normal tire place rotate and align this truck or does it require something special from the dealer?
british_rover Posts: 8,476
doug213 Posts: 1I have a 2006 LR3. The 4 tires on the vehicle started to wear around the 24000km mark. Al;l four tires need replacing. When I first heard the noise I took the vehicle into the dealer. They said right away that I need a wheel alignment. It seemed odd that they new the problem so quickly. When I asked if it was common the service person backpedaled and said no it is just probably that. After. Before I( went back to the dealer I researched the issue on the internet and found it is a very common problem. After confronting the service person upon my return he eventually said it does happen from time to time but that it was the Goodyear tires. If I switched brands the problem would go away. He also said that the dealer now recommends alignment inspections every 12,000 km's. Nice to tell me that now after the first set of tires are ruined. I sent an e-mail to Land Rover Canada explaining the situation. The person who was checking their e-mail accidentally replied instead of forwarding the e-mail. Her comments were "here is another one the same issue!!! After replying back to her she quickly tried to cover her tracks. Land Rover Canada was very polite and called the dealer but would do nothing to stand behind the vehicle. You bought you own it it's your problem and the dealers problem. They again said the alignment should be checked every 12,000 km's. My opinion was if they new this why are the owners not advised? I would prefer to pay $50 to have the alignment checked rather than having to buy new tires every year! It dissapoints me that a company like Land Rover does not support it's customers.
gillz Posts: 15I have a 2007 HSE with 8000mi. Also go to LR Mission Viejo (Calif) and took the opportunity to request tire rotation/balance at the same time as the 7500mi service. LRMV suggested full wheel alignment at the same time and said that the suspension can change as it 'settles in' causing premature tire wear...
mmac1 Posts: 11I have a 2005 LR3 with 24000 miles. At 22000 I took it in and was told my back tires were bald on the inside. Apparently, the back end is very suseptible to going out of alignment because of the weight. I was told by the dealer there is nothing to do here and I paid for a new set. I would say that yours are new tires because the previous owner had the exact same issue. I saw another LR3 going down the road and the tires bend in at the top when this happens. So I would absolutely take it in and I would bet you a new set of tires your alignment is out just like mine was. So I am now selling mine too. Want to buy another one? I loved mine, but I do take mine off road sometimes. Nothing serious but like my fishing trips etc. What really drove me over the edge was LR NA and the response from everyone. I kept getting told " this is a heavy vehicle and the alignment goes out when you hit thing". I said, "I bought a Land Rover, not a car, so I could take it off road. Now you tell me that every time I go off road that I run the risk of having to pay $300 for the alignment to get fixed?" I made a huge deal and they paid for mine, but they say it isn't a warranty item. So if the wheels go in towards the top, you have a problem and get it in soon....
Feel free to email me, I can give you dealers etc....
I am looking for something else, I loved it but not enough to worry about whether it can get me where I need to go.

oablokhin Posts: 1I have 2005 LR3 HSE. Dealer told me that I need to replace two rear tires because alignment wasn't correct on the car. At that time, I only had 19K miles on it. it costs me about $700. I have contacted LR of USA and asked for reimbursement which they didn't approve. After that I called BBB Auto Line and opened a case for the above problem. LR didn't want to resolve it, so we went for arbitration which i won and got all my money back.
nesuv Posts: 10Just wanted to give everyone an update on my 05 HSE. At 20,000 I had my Goodyears replaced with Michelin Synchrones. A world of difference as the Goodyears were so loud I could not bear. I had LR rotate the tires @28,000 (why they didn't do alignment at that time is beyond me)and now at 34,000 I started hearing some noise again. I took it back to the tire place yesterday and the front alignment was way off. When they were done, I noticed that the vehicle was lowered. They must have accidentally lowered it while sifting through my change for quarters! I made them check the alignment at normal height and indeed the front was out of spec.
My advice is to have alignment checked at all 3 levels. The specs are wide enough that if done properly it will vary but remain within spec. It needs to be perfect, like leveling one of those front load washing machines I just bought.
Hope this helps -
zoeyjrt Posts: 6Taking our 05 LR3 in for 45k service this week. Overall, ours has been a truly excellent performer - though, like most on here, tire life is short compared to more pedestrian SUVs.
Question: does any have an opinion about rotating front to back (same side) vs crossing the tires left rear to right front etc.?????

lja3 Posts: 1New to this forum, but wondering what you finally selected as a replacement for your LR3?
I currently own a 2005 LR3 HSE which after a $3K repair (full brake & tire replacement) at 24.5K mi am very dissapointed with both my dealer and LR North America. (Yes, they were the Goodyear factory tires). Went through the Service Manger (did nothing except sit on the issue for 6 weeks)and 'Customer Care' at LRNA... but truly just a waste of time.
My story is similar to so many folks here - very appaling to spend ~$60K w/ no recourse even though I know all about the TSBs in October about the alignment/brushing issue and even the one in April '07 with the tire reimbursement brackets. My dealer, whom I foolishly trusted, has been most underhanded and uncooperative. (Won't bore you with the details, because it's all been said before.)
So - I'm planning on replacing my LR3 with something more safe and dependable and which has more than 1 dealer in a 40 mile radius. I've contacted the class action folks, NHTSA, and planning to follow up with the BBB. It is absolutely ridiculious the way LR is treating their customers.
:mad: :lemon: -
arcjones Posts: 2I just brought my LR3 in to get roof rails and mentioned how my tires were going bald on the inside of the rear. Well wouldn't you know I need an alignment and a new set of tires on the rear. The service dept. said that LRNA won't do anything after 20,000 miles, (i am at 20,500) but the dealer will pay for one tire at $350 a pop! plus an alignment at $130. I am now educated as to this problem and a bit distressed. This is my fifth LR, (1 disco, 3 disco series II and my new LR3) and this is the first difficulty. I am looking at 2 other tires and having them installed and aligned by someone other than the dealership. Continental Cross Contact UHP which is used for the range sports, and the Avon Tech ST which has some very good customer reviews by Tirerack. Anyone have any new experiences or recommendations on waht to do? As far as I can tell I do not want to keep these goodyear wranglers on my truck.
Thanks in advance for all comments. :confuse: -
ssp1 Posts: 115I asked around on this one (Tire folks at Big O and Discount Tire and some tire guy who used to do SUV tires at a similar store and given the wieght of the car and your mileage none of this is out of the ordinary. Expensive and annoying yes. I certainly was surprised after driving a Disco with its Michelins for 40K miles without any issue. That said the deal is on this car brakes and tires will go in the 25K range easily. Id still rather have a land rover after testing the competition. its as safe easily and far more interesting
jboiter Posts: 4hey thanks for the advice. i did take it back in, and let them look at it again. without asking, they came out and said they would put 2 new goodyear's on, no charge. i did pay for the 4wheel alignment. the only problem i see now is the tread pattern changed to the new wrangler. better looking for sure. we'll see how long they last. i'll probably need to get 2 fronts before too long. would you ever put your older rears onto the front, when you get new ones for the front? i've always replaced as a set... thanks again for the advice. jb
nesuv Posts: 10I've got about 20,000 on the Michelin Synchrones and so far no tire problems. I started to hear a little noise after around 10,000 so I brought it in to the tire place for rotation and the front wheels were out of alignment. When they brought it around I noticed the vehicle was lowered. I made them check the alignment again in the normal position and sure enough it was out. I believe the whole tire issue with LR3 may have something to do with the Goodyears not being good enough. But I also think the alignment plays a big part.
rmd07 Posts: 3In the market to replace the Goodyears on a 2005 LR3 SE with only 30K miles. I have read a lot of horror stories, but not a lot of success stories. Is there any solid evidence/recommendations on a good replacement tire. Only positives I have seen are the Micheline Synchrones and the Avon Tech ST.
Thanks!! -
ssp1 Posts: 115I have Michelin Latitude Tour on my LR3 (2006) have over 10K miles on them and no noise and no nothing no wear etc. getting them rotated for the 2nd time today. They are definately not an off road nor an all terrain tire. BUT i use them off road with no issue and no slip at all. I am on a rough slippery bumpy steep poorly maintained rock and crappy road base (in part), rutted 1.5 mile long road 5 times per week or so with no issue. Other 4 wheel drives slip on the steep part due to a series of ruts with loose road base in them and i dont.
It my understanding that the Synchrones dont come in an 18 inch wheel but i dont know for sure. Ive heard good things about the nitto grapplers but they may make a bit more noise due to the tread.
the tires i have now are ultra quiet -
bgsntth Posts: 81What size are these ssp1? The closest to stock size was a 265/60-18, but that only has a load index of 110? Has anyone asked LRNA if this is OK for LR3's. The manual and door sticker say 112 minimum for 18" tires, but in less litigous countries they specify minimum LI of 109 and H-speed rating.
I'm trying to stay away from 275 and 285's, as that would necessitate replacing the spare.
I'm looking at the Yokohama A/T-S in 265/60-18 LI of 110, which is why I'm asking about the LI. My dealer is absolutely clueless beyond the GY Wranglers. -

Most likely the Scorpion Zero's http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires.jsp?tireMake=Pirelli&tireModel=Scorpion+Zero- -
I was hoping to find a good All-Terrain tire. The only one I know of in the OE size is the General Grabber AT2, but it seems a little too aggressive to put on my wife's truck. The Yoko A/T-S reviews have been good dry, wet, dirt/mud, hydroplane, noise. Where the General's are less so dry, wet and noise, but better off-road and in snow. -
rmd07 Posts: 3Thanks for all the info...the General Grabber AT2 has gotten a lot of good reviews; just not sure how noisy it is? The vehicle will spend most of its time on-road.
Still have not been able to find out much about the Avon Tech ST. Seems to be a wide range of reviews; but most on the LR3 are very positive. -
ravenrover Posts: 1I purchased the Avon Tech ST tires for my 05 LR3 SE in March 2007. I have put over 8K on the tires and no issues. Tire wear is even, tire noise is minimal and handles very well. I had 22.5k miles on the Goodyear's and the inside had worn down to nothing on the rear tires. I had the dealership provide a free alignment with the new specs right before I put the Avon tires on.
I highly recommend the Avon Tech ST tires for the LR3 SE. I do suggest anyone that replaces their tires to make sure they get an alignment done with the updated specs. I also keep the Psi in the tires at the recommended levels according to what is posted on the inside of the door.
I have also been very happy with the LR3 with no problems except for tire wear which appears to be corrected. I average about 19 mpg highway and 15 mpg city driving. -
arcjones Posts: 2I finally got my new tires put on this past saturday. 22,500 miles on the goodyears and the belts were showing through. I have just less than a year on my lease left and picked up a one year alignment from tire kingdom. Bought the tires through tire rack and had them delivered. The LR3 never had an alignment! anyway... the truck rides completely different, much better. Probably more to do with the alignment, but the tires are nice. I will update as I wear them in.
dghavami Posts: 1Reading all about the lawsuits going on in California, I called Landrover to see what they would do for my tire issues, and I was told that the Goodyear's were not supposed to last 24,000 miles and that I got more out of them than usual. That means you have to get a new set of tire even before your first set of break pads! I have been complaining about the tire noise and the jagged edges on the inside of the tires but can't get Landrover to do anything. Finally last week I noticed the inside of the rear tires have worn to the white stuff under the rubber even though the outside part looks like new.
Just switched to the Michelin 4x4 syncrone and hope they last longer than the Goodyear's ..
Hope someone will initiate an east coast lawsuit so they don't get away with it ..
BTW in my office block we have 4 LR3s and all but 1 has the same issue at anything from 12,000 miles thru 22,000 miles.......

And When She Was Good is a steady, surprising tale about how Heloise adapts when her business is put in jeopardy…There are easy, conventional ways for Ms. Lippman to escalate and end her story. But she cares less about mayhem than about ways for Heloise to adapt her talents to changing times. Call it sustainability: this book gives Heloise power, versatility and the gift of foresight, all of which serve her well in a crisis. Ms. Lippman's nominal subject may be prostitution, but her book is not about a woman who takes care of clients. It's about a woman who can take care of herself.—Janet Maslin

"But they're the majority!" Maria says. She's fond of Pott, but tired of this argument. "They are the white-male majority. You can't be oppressed as a Christian white male. Christians are responsible for so much queer oppression. They have to account for that."
"I can totally relate to them not liking Christianity," Marcus Hyde says of the secular anarchists. Hyde is a regular fixture at Scum of the Earth, volunteering at the weekly bicycle workshop and services. Accepted by the secular punk community, Hyde lives at the L7 collective. Raised in a conservative Christian family in Colorado Springs, he rejected Christianity as a teenager; in a moment of desperation, his parents pleaded with him not to give up on church, and to "just go to the weird church." They were referring to Scum, of course. In time, Hyde expanded his view of Christianity, tapping into that same radical message of peace and tolerance that Jesus spoke of and eventually realizing that "if more Christians read the Bible, they wouldn't be such assholes," he says.
At one time, the residents of L7 were evenly divided between atheists and members of Scum. "They never tried to push anything on us. They're not preachy," Maria remembers. "They're our friends." Like Scum, L7 encourages debate within the community — but last fall, when some of the Scum roommates wanted to turn L7 into a literal monastery, the debate got heated. "Some people felt weird about it," Maria says, "like they were being pushed out. They definitely didn't want to live in a monastery."
Most of the Scum members wound up moving out; only Hyde stayed. He says he often gets questioned regarding his beliefs by others who live at L7, many of them wanting to know where he stands on the issues that concern them. "Christianity has been used to promote homophobia, bipartisan politics, patriarchy — all of the things that I don't identify with," he says. "They ask me what I believe, and my answers are pretty simple: I believe in a living God and his love."
L7 hosts the Wednesday afternoon Food Not Bombs, and often will donate leftover food to Scum for the free Sunday night meals. "We have a good relationship on a personal level," Dylan says. "When we go over there, there's smiles and we hang out and we're nice to each other — and the same when they come over here. But there's still that tension."
Israel Rose Oka has a unique perspective on Scum.
He currently lives in Villa Ville Kulla, one of the oldest punk houses in the neighborhood, and for the past few years has been self-employed as an escort. "It's no different than any other job," he says, pointing out that being a sex worker provides a consensual service that doesn't exploit anyone. Like many in his community, he identifies not as "gay," but as "queer" — which suggests a more fluid sexuality that is not conforming to gender or monogamy. Israel works to defend the rights of sex workers, he says, as well as a more universal understanding of the complexities of his generation's approach to sexual identity.
At one point, though, he was a Christian youth pastor who attended Scum services.
Oka was raised as a fierce evangelical, and at age fifteen began going to Scum when it was still at the Church in the City location. He made friends there and firmly established himself in the Scum community. At eighteen, he began work as a youth leader in Young Life Ministries — the same organization that led a teenage Mike Sares to Christianity. But then he began noticing that his sexual instincts were not aligned with those around him.
After some reflection, Oka decided to come out to his friends at Scum, attempting to explain that he was queer. "They disagreed with me," he remembers. "They said, 'We don't think that you are gay.' A lot of them stopped talking to me." Ultimately, he dropped out of the church.
Years later, Oka says he's not bitter about his past as a Christian, though he does have his criticisms of Scum. "Their whole 'love the sinner, hate the sin' attitude is kind of bullshit," he says. "Because to love someone, you have to accept them for who they are. It's not my place to judge how people want to live their lives. Just don't tell me how to live mine."
Members of Scum know that their positions on issues of sexuality and abortion are not popular in the neighborhood, but they insist they're not telling anyone how to run their lives. Their goal was never to push their ideals on anyone — or condemn anyone to hell who doesn't agree with them. Instead, the goal has been to create an environment of thoughtful debate and welcoming fellowship. "Some people get to a point in their belief where they decide 'What I know is exactly right, and I'm going to make everyone else believe it,'" says Reese Roper. "Or you get to the point where you get further into Christianity and you accept the idea that 'I don't really know much. I can't tell you anything definite except that Jesus is real and he loves me and he changed my life.' When you get to that point, you just drop all those evangelical pretenses." Five Iron Frenzy broke up in 2003, and Roper ultimately resigned as co-pastor of Scum of the Earth. But he often returns as a guest preacher and is proud of the church he helped build, a place where weird-looking young people can worship God in their own way and not be hassled to cut their hair and lose the nose ring.

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

I have a privacy fence and am trying to have a garden along it. The sides that I am making the garden along are east and west, so in the morning the east is shaded by the fence, and in the afternoon the west is shaded. So my question is, what kinds of plants will do well in this area? The ones that say "partial shade"? Or does partial shade kind of mean "dappled shade"? Are full sun plants totally out of the question, as well as shade loving plants like coleus and caladiums? I would appreciate any advice. |
Follow-Up Postings:
Yes, they are both partial shade. The side that gets morning sun should be able to take plants that prefer shade or partial shade. The side that gets afternoon sun should be able to take most plants that prefer sun or partial shade. Many shade lovers can handle more sun if they are kept moist. With a little trial and error, you should find out what works and what doesn't. If you have specific plants you'd like to try, ask about them and people will be able to share their specific experiences. |
Most common definitions of 'full sun' is 'more than 6 hours of sun' without specification, morning or evening. 'Part sun' is 3 to 6 hours, 'part shade' is 1 to 3 and 'full shade' is 1 hour or less. How I understood your description , both sides either full sun or part-sun, not a part shade, but as Janet correctly pointed out, many shade lovers could take a lot of sun with adequate moisture. |
- Posted by Yellowbell 78728 (My Page) on Mon, Apr 4, 05 at 12:33
Thanks, both posts were very helpful. I never realized that definitions of sun, part sun, etc. included the number of hours of sunlight. That really helps me figure out what kind of plants each side can have. My neighborhood is new, and there aren't any tall trees, so the only areas of shade are along the fence. |

I have a similar flowerbed but a little more shaded in AM and PM. Bergamonts, columbines, pansies, dianthus, spiderworts, lilies, hostas, allysum, toad lily, and 4:00 all grow very well for me. Abbey |

My name is Samantha!
Samantha's Info...
I am already spayed, housetrained, up to date with shots, not good with kids, not good with dogs, and good with cats.

But after getting to know Sue, her special volunteer, Samantha has become much more affectionate, even enjoying the occasional tummy rub. She would be a great companion for another cat in a household without dogs or very young children.

These bottoms are sooo cute! The cut and fit is great as well. My only complaint would be that a size small fit me a little too tight on my hips. I have a size 28 waist and I think a medium would have been a better fit on my body type. The material is also really soft and comfortable to wear.

If not an ichneumon, then a braconid. Beneficial. Dan |
I'm with Dan - it's a braconid (or maybe ichneumon). There are many, many similar looking braconids. They are your friend... unless you're an aphid or a caterpillar. If you do a google-images search on "braconid wasp" you can see the havoc they wreak on caterpillars. Positively gory! |
Great. Thanks for the info. That is a relief. -Andy |

POC Lobes Goggle
Lobes All Black w/ 2nd lens (Gold Mirror)
Bought the All Black Lobes and the gold mirror replacement lens. The goggles look awesome and fit great with my POC Synapsis 2.0 helmet. Virtually zero room between the google and helmet, which is great. Changing the lenses took about 15 seconds. Obviously very easy since it was the first and only time I've done it. Completely self explanatory.
Does anyone have any recommendations for carrying a spare lens while skiing? It would have been nice if they came with a little bag for the price. I will probably use an old goggle bag but if anyone has a great way to carry them safely I'd love to know.
I will update as soon as I try them. I'll be using them Friday 2.3.12 up at Killington VT then heading to Vail next week so hopefully I can get some good variety and hopefully I can test them during some serious, much needed, snowfall out at Vail!

- Thread: Need to make a tank cake move
I am making an Abrams Tank cake for my son's birthday and I need to make the turret turn and shoot sparks (I am ambitious, I know). Can anyone point me in the right direction? I know I need a remote control turntable mechanism, but I am coming up empty during my searches.
