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.

Text of report in English by Turkish newspaper Today's Zaman website on
22 July
[Report by Mustafa Edib Yilmaz and Ali Aslan Kilic: "Turkey Seeks
Roadmap in Face of Second Global Financial Crisis"]
Global markets may have let out a great sigh of relief as European Union
leaders showed a remarkable act of solidarity on Thursday [21 July] to
rescue financially troubled Greece once again but policy makers and
experts in Turkey, still cautious of another global financial crisis
which they expect is sooner or later going to hit the world economy, are
discussing what the country's strategy should be in the face of such a
staggering risk.
It has not been too long since Turkey's world record 11 per cent
economic growth in the first quarter or its 41-year-high budget surplus
of 1.8 billion dollars were announced, strengthening beliefs that the
country has successfully placed itself on a path of sustainable growth
and fiscal stability, but a number of policy makers from within the
government appeared to be suggesting prudence against a possible
external shock. Bulent Gedikli, the ruling Justice and Development
Party's (AK Party) deputy-chairman responsible for economic affairs, was
the first to take the stage when he suggested that people should cut
their spending as it is uncertain to what extent the current financial
troubles in the US and eurozone countries can be contained. Deputy Prime
Minister Ali Babacan, who also heads the Economy Coordination Board
(EKK), followed suit with an albeit calmer tone, saying Turkey must be
ready for any kind of difficulty that may emerge from external sources !
which would certainly take a toll on demand for Turkish goods abroad.
Later came messages of assurance from the government with Economy
Minister Zafer Caglayan and Industry and Technology Minister Nihat Ergun
ruling out any kind of risk for the Turkish economy. But people have
started to wonder what would be the impact of another global financial
crisis on Turkey at a time when the country is making headlines with its
economic success.
"Turkey's public finances are very strong and its economy is resilient
against external shocks. It's true that a European crisis would have an
impact on Turkey's exports, yet that impact must not be exaggerated
since Turkey has in the past few years proved very successful in finding
alternative export markets. By the way, domestic demand here should not
be underestimated either. There is now strong demand within the country
and it certainly contributes to its economic growth," said Suleyman
Yasar, former vice-president of Turkey's Privatization Administration
(OIB), in a phone interview with Today's Zaman.
Yasar was particularly critical of Gedikli's warning on the need to
reduce household spending, stressing that the ratio of household debt to
gross domestic product (GDP) is only 17 per cent in Turkey, one of the
lowest worldwide, and therefore there is no imminent risk. "Another
thing is people in Turkey have become wealthier than they were a decade
ago and they want to buy houses and cars, so you, as a policy maker,
cannot cut people's spending just by telling them they should not spend
the money they earned. I have taken these remarks by government
officials as innocent warnings telling people to be cautious [without
causing them to panic.]"
Another observer who is not happy about the advice to reduce less
private spending is Turkish Confederation of Businessmen and
Industrialists (TUSKON) President Rizanur Meral. Speaking to Today's
Zaman, Meral said what needs to be done is to encourage people to
purchase domestically produced goods rather than imported goods in order
to strengthen the Turkish economy in the face of what he considers to be
inevitable global economic turmoil. "Obviously, a second wave global
economic crisis rooted in Europe and the US is approaching. For Turkey
to be affected as little as possible from this crisis, what is needed is
neither cutting private spending entirely, nor continuing with the
present nature of spending. Our people should pay attention to choosing
domestically produced goods over imported goods to help ease the
possible impact on the Turkish economy of another possible crisis. If we
purchase goods produced abroad we will be helping other nations' efforts
to ! minimize their woes in an upcoming crisis," he said. When asked
whether what he called "the upcoming global financial crisis" can be
averted if the eurozone's most financially troubled member, Greece,
returns to capital markets back on its feet and the US debt ceiling is
raised, as the markets hope, Meral said such developments can only
postpone the crisis or reduce its size to a certain extent but cannot
completely prevent it.
EU leaders on Thursday agreed on a second Greek bailout of 159 billion
euros that will be added onto the first 110 billion euros package. News
of this agreement sent world stocks higher as investors perceived a more
powerful sign that the 27-nation bloc will be able to contain the
current financial woes not only in Greece but also in Portugal and
Ireland and prevent it from spreading to larger member states such as
Spain and Italy.
Ongoing talks between the White House and Democratic and Republican
senate leaders in the US, however, fell short of yielding a long-term
agreement so far. If the current impasse remains unsolved by August 2,
the US will default on its debt and most likely lose its top notch
credit rating, as Moody's and Standard and Poor's have already warned.
"We believe that Turkey will suffer minimal consequences from this
crisis but it is dependent on the behaviours of our producers as well as
our consumers. Our industrialists need also pay attention to not using
imported intermediate goods and procuring their needs domestically as
much as possible," Meral added.
Global crisis has already arrived'
Professor Mehmet Altan of Istanbul University believes what many see as
an upcoming global financial crisis has already arrived and only
solution is equivalent in size to the scale of the crisis could make the
world an economically safer place to live and ensure that no other such
turmoil hits the global economy again in the future. "I was talking to a
businessman the other day and he was saying he has been unable to
collect payments for goods he has delivered to Europe. So the crisis is
not approaching. It is already here and is plaguing many economies as we
speak. What is needed to do at the moment is reconstructing the entire
world financial system based on the trade and flow of money that does
not match goods on the production side. It is purely artificial as is
now," he said also in a phone interview with Today's Zaman. Joining
Meral, he also sees present efforts to contain the crisis in the US and
the EU. "What they are doing to surmount the problems is ! not
sufficient because they are fighting a crisis in 2011 with the Keynesian
solutions developed to fight the Great Depression of the 1930s. If John
Maynard Keynes was living today, he would never have favoured such a
strategy today," he said.
Specifically referring to Gedikli's advice on cutting household
spending, Altan noted that it is always risky if people are borrowing
more than they can repay. Joining him on this approach is Professor Zeki
Sahin from Cankaya University in Ankara. He said the warnings that both
Gedikli and Babacan made had needed to be said. "This is because
sometimes people engage in excessive borrowing, investing their hopes on
economic stability in the country. Unfortunately the banks are
encouraging people to borrow money via credit cards and consumer loans.
So it was an appropriate warning to not be in debt when the crisis
arrives. I can only say that this message could have been better
delivered as a unified approach by the government," he told Today's
Professor Nevzat Saygilioglu from Ankara's Gazi University also believes
that overspending has become a habit for people in Turkey and it must
certainly be brought under control. "Private spending is now at the
level of sociological madness. And there is a system that pumps fuel
into that. The government used to remain silent as it saw the
contribution this spending made to economic growth. Now they are making
decelerating statements. And as they do not want to see a hard landing
they are playing good cop-bad cop rather than dispersing what they think
is the government's common message," he said.

Mistake: purchase acrylic tub from Menards 8 months ago-supposedly you can't put deck mount faucets on it-this was okay with me until I realized everything I wanted and needed for my deep soaking experience requires deck mount faucet systems. I want to rinse off, wash hair and clean my bathtub with handheld shower........no hose on the outside hanging in the tub (cheap acrylic tub won't handle this wear and tear besides I won't want it hanging out in the open I want pullout hose) The only thing I find that has a hidden hose is a deck mount system. Can I put only the hand held shower as a deck mount if the diameter of the inlet is small enough that it will fit on the deck and just drill a hole in the acrylic tub if I have the space for this? Can the tub filler itself and handles still be mounted on the wall? Where does the diverter need to be on the tub filler or with the handheld shower on the deck if I can mount on the deck of the tub? Help |

Deck mount also means in the deck surrounding the rub. If you do it as an undermount with a stone slab, that will offer additional support and will handle the wear and tear. |
- Posted by Anna_in_TX (My Page) on Sat, Feb 22, 14 at 11:49
So you have no tile tub deck around the tub? You have no shower in this tub? Yes, you can have a wall faucet and the handshower installed on the tub deck. The issue with a wall faucet is that there aren''t any high fill faucets for deep soakers if you need 60 gallons rapidly filled. You can use a wall faucet and have the piping for the shower head go down to the tub deck and install a handshower at the end. Shower valves have higher flow rates for the bottom port for bathtubs. The flow rate varies from brand to brand but is generally can range from 5 to 7 gpm. The diverter for the handshower will be in the tub spout. A roman faucet is around 16 gpm. Kohler does have a 3 handle system that is around 10 gpm. You can build your own wall system with 2 separate volume control valves and a diverter valve. What some people do is build a tile ledge or shelf in front or on the side of the tub that is integrated with the tile tub deck or wall and then mount a roman faucet on top of it. If you don't have space for that, then you can build a large niche in the wall and install the roman faucet in that. Let us know what you want to do and we can give you more details. |

Do you know who Patrick Sarsfield Gilmore was?
I didn't until I read "Jubilee!" by Alicia Potter. Subtitled "One Man's Big, Bold, and Very, Very Loud Celebration of Peace," this tells us about a young man who loved music.
Gilmore grew up in Ireland, came to Boston in 1849 and became a band leader. During the Civil War, he kept up his and his comrades' spirits with his music. He played at night and formed groups along the way.
After the war, he wanted to celebrate the peace with music. He decided to have a stupendous musical celebration. It would last five days and be in his home city of Boston. It would involve thousands of musicians.
Most people thought he was crazy, but Eban Jordan, who owned a department store, liked the idea and became his partner.
A huge hall named the Temple of Peace was built, and musicians from across the country came. Gilmore found 100 anvils and firemen to hammer them, got 12 cannons to fire, and the world's largest pipe organ.
For five days, the music played and the people cheered. President Grant attended.
Wish I could have been there.
Kathryn Lasky brings us "One Beetle Too Many," a chapter biography of Charles Darwin.
Darwin was not a good student, and his father wanted him to be a minister. He had other ideas as he loved the outdoors.
When he got the chance to sail on the HMS Beagle, he took it and spent five years sailing the world, collecting specimens and studying plants and animals and people along the way.
He also was seasick the entire voyage, coming up from below to be sick and going back down to study some more. He studied the things he saw and found that they were related but different.
His theory of evolution frightened the people who felt secure in their faith about creation.
He suffered from stomach problems throughout his life, probably from the abuse of the trip.
He changed our world.
"Electrical Wizard," brought to us by Elizabeth Rusch, is subtitled "How Nikola Tesla Lit Up The World."
Most of us think only of Thomas Edison when we think of electric lights. Edison perfected the light bulb but he insisted on a direct current for the electricity.
The night Tesla was born, there was an electrical storm. Intrigued at 3 years old by the sparks he created rubbing the cat, Tesla became enchanted by electricity. When he was 5, he discovered water power by making a wheel that the water would turn. In college, he thought of alternating current.
He moved to Paris and worked with some of Edison's generators, working tirelessly to promote his method of alternating current, determined to put the water power of Niagara Falls to work to produce electricity. He invented the turbine and proved its worth at the Chicago World's Fair, beating Edison for the contract.
This win for him and Westinghouse, the company that backed him, enabled him to work on generating power from the Falls, bringing us magical power.

It has become a running gag at just how unlucky Leonardo DiCaprio has been at the Academy Awards. Every year, he gives another great performance in another great film and we wonder if this will finally be the one that earns him that elusive win. But lately, the more important question is whether he will even be nominated.
This year, he has already headlined the spring hit "The Great Gatsby" and stars in the eagerly-anticipated "The Wolf of Wall Street." The latter marks his fifth collaboration with Martin Scorsese, for whom he headlined the 2006 Best Picture champ "The Departed" which finally won the director an Oscar.
Despite the pedigree of this project, DiCaprio has odds of just 14 to 1 to win Best Actor, with only one Expert and one Editor, no Top 24 Users and just 5% of All Users predicting him to prevail.
The last of his three Oscar bids was back in 2006. He was snubbed for 2008's "Revolutionary Road," despite earning a Globe nomination. 2010 saw his two biggest commercial successes since 2002's "Catch Me if You Can," with Scorsese's "Shutter Island" and Christopher Nolan's "Inception" but no Oscar recognition for either.
Things were looking up in 2011 when he played a closeted-gay CIA director in Clint Eastwood's biopic "J. Edgar." The role sounded like such blatant Oscar bait that it was hilariously spoofed by Funny or Die in the fake trailer "L. DiCaprio." Indeed, DiCaprio was an early Best Actor frontrunner. But while he reaped Globe and SAG nominations for the role, he was snubbed at the Oscars in favor of Demián Bichir -- best known for a recurring role in television's "Weeds" -- for "A Better Life," an independent film that grossed less than a fifth of its budget.
Will Leonardo DiCaprio be nominated for Best Actor at this year's Oscars. Vote below using our easy drag-and-drop menu.

Wildlife viewing is one of the most enjoyable aspects of travel. Seeing nature in it's natural environment, un-touched by man, is truly a never forget it moment. Never before have so many destinations been available for us as travellers to view wildlife in it's natural surroundings. Here are 5 of the top spots to view wildlife this year.
Galapagos Islands
The Galapagos Islands are famous for a variety of unusual creatures, from marine iguanas to blue-footed boobies, and you'll get closer to the wildlife than you would anywhere else in the world. Today, there are over 58 species of birds residing in the Galapagos, making this one of the worlds top destinations for bird watchers. A little to tame for you? Then snorkeling with sea lions might be right up your alley. The adolescent sea lions love to play! They will pester you to chase them, they imitate you underwater, and when they see a camera, they'll come flying right at you and zip right around making for some amazing moments.
Costa Rica
Costa Rica is home to more than 500,000 species, which represents nearly 4% of the total species estimated worldwide, making Costa Rica one of the 20 countries with the highest biodiversity in the world. With about 1,251 species of butterflies, 175 species of amphibians, 250 species of mammal and 894 bird species, it is almost impossible not to see wildlife in this eco-tourist's dream.
Although Belize is a relatively small country, it has an amazing variety of wildlife living in a wide range of habitats. There are roughly 145 species of mammals living in Belize. There are 139 species of reptiles and amphibians that have so far been identified in Belize, including 56+ species of snakes. Belize is also a birder's paradise, with over 500 species of rare and beautiful birds thriving in its many distinct habitats. Belize Barrier Reef is a must for marine wildlife with several types of reef sharks such as the Caribbean reef shark and the Blacktip shark.
The Serengeti (Tanzania)
Located in north Tanzania and extending to south-western Kenya, the Serengeti hosts the largest terrestrial mammal migration in the world, which is one of the ten natural travel wonders of the world. The Serengeti is home to millions of large herbivores, with more than 35 species of plains-dwelling mammals, as well as the accompanying carnivores and prolific birdlife. When on tour, try spotting the "Big Five"—lion, leopard, rhino, elephant and buffalo. Believe me, this ain't no zoo. It's the real thing!
Borneo is the third largest island in the world. The Borneo rainforest is 130 million years old, making it the oldest rainforest in the world. According to WWF, the island is estimated have at least 222 species of mammals (44 of which are endemic), 420 resident birds (37 endemic), 100 amphibians, 394 fish (19 endemic), and 15,000 plants (6,000 endemic) — more than 400 of which have been discovered in surveys since 1994. Get to Borneo before the tourists do. This is one place one of the least explored areas on the planet.

MT SAC FALL 2011 or SPRING 2012 - page 2
K, folks, based on the rumor mill, they had to go over 120+ students to get the 60 they need for Spring 11. So originally I went from 910 back in Fall 2009, to 458 to the Spring in 2010, to 265 this... Read More
0Nov 27, '11 by justinpark09Quote from Twee_Phow was ur HESI test? is it difficult?So I got my letter as an alternate last week. I was surprised to get it being that I am 148 deep and they only need 60. I must be one of the last to receive the letter for Fall alternates. Anyone receive on that's past 148?
0Nov 28, '11 by justinpark09Quote from twee_pnah, it wasn't that hard. I scored a 91% on the test without really studying. Most the questions are pretty straightforward unlike the old teas. Best of luck
thanks twee, did they call you yet?
Im scheduled on nov16 to take hesi 2a test. Would you mind givin me some advise what i need to focus on science? Coz science is so broad. Also vocabulary too.
Thanks so mjuch -
0Nov 29, '11 by Twee_PI wouldn't worry too much on the anatomy or physiology. There were only a few questions. English was basic comprehension and grammar. I would just refresh yourself on fractions(multiplication, subtraction, division etc). Like I said, it really wasn't that difficult. I was an alternate for the Fall but was not called, so I will be starting this Spring. Unfortunately I have to sit through the 3 days of orientation again. I applied about 3 years ago and finally was called so the Hesi I took a while back is still good
0Nov 30, '11 by justinpark09thanks alot Twee. ur really helpful!!
Now you said you were invited to take Hesi after ... almost 3 years. My case is different. I applied on April 2011, my lottery no is 892, but why i got invited to take Hesi on next Dec ?!?!? They said most everyone has to wait like 2-3 years to get in... sigh* -
0Nov 30, '11 by jonjon62288Mt.Sac is having everyone that applied to take the HESI first because they are changing their enrollement system. so basically they want to know who will be in and who is not. so that next year when they implement the new system, they don't have to worry about old students not taking their HESI yet.
yup... 2> yr. wait atleast... -
0Apr 3, '12 by Jedwards1985So my number went from 420 to 110.... Does anyone know how that happened?

1984 Volvo 240 Six cylinder diesel from North America
Really nothing unusual. Normal maintenance.
General Comments:
I believe that Volvo was preparing for the next world war with this car. Literally, it is built like a tank.
I love this car. I feel safe in it. I also don't worry when my wife drives alone on the 401. If someone were to cut her off, I would feel sorry for the recipient if she were to plow into them.
The car handles like a dream, and I am a previous classic Cadillac owner. Volvo should take pride in producing such a lovely car. I keep the rust off of it, being from Ontario where they salt the roads here like there is no end to salt.
I also maintain the car. I don't dote on it though, like waxing and shining, though it surely deserves it because it has great lines.
I change the oil every 3,000 kilometers and seasonal (spring and fall) as the engine pounds the oil to death with its high compression and cool running condition. With the oil changed, the engine purrs like a kitten, and when it gets up to 80 - 120 Km/h, I love listening to it.
I have always wanted to install the leather seats that were in my 1978 Seville, because they would go nicely with the car. God, they were heaven.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

Gwinnett Daily Post
Like a lot of other people around the Northeast, Brenton Butler had his plans for a holiday homecoming ruined by the weather.
The post-Christmas snowstorm that socked the New York area prevented the Norcross grad and his teammates on the Fordham basketball team from reaching Atlanta for their scheduled game at Georgia Tech on Dec. 27.
It also sent the Rams on a three-day adventure to their next destination -- the Cable Car Classic in Santa Clara, Calif. -- via Pittsburgh and Princeton, N.J.
"It's been an interesting last couple of days, to say the least," Butler said just prior to the New Year's holiday. "I hated (to miss the homecoming game at Tech), but there's not much I can really do about it except deal with it and move on. The past couple of years, I've had worse to deal with."
Indeed, the cross-country excursion through the snow as been one of only a few difficulties Butler has faced this season.
He currently leads the Rams (6-7, 0-1 in the Atlantic 10 Conference) in scoring (16.6 points per game), assists (4.5), minutes (37.4) and free-throw shooting percentage (80.3), while ranking in the top five on the team in 3-point percentage (third, 30.8) and steals (fourth).
It is a performance that may not have happened had Butler chosen not to put his future on hold.
He walked with the rest of his class at graduation ceremonies at Fordham last spring and could have received his degree in finance.
However, the 6-foot-3, 195-pound guard chose to add a second minor to enable him to return to the Bronx, N.Y., campus for a redshirt senior season.
Given his family lineage -- his father is former Atlanta Falcon cornerback Bobby Butler and he has one brother, Brice, playing big-time college football at Southern California, while another is a senior guard on Norcross' current team -- it's not surprising he had a competitive spirit still in him.
Besides, the way Butler saw things, he still had some unfinished business at Fordham.
For one thing, he wanted to take advantage of an extra season of eligibility granted by a medical redshirt from a serious ankle injury that limited him to just eight games in his junior season.
Additionally, he had enough pride to want to go out on a better note after the Rams' dismal 2-26 campaign last season that included the dismissal of head coach Derek Whittenburg and the decision not to retain interim coach Jared Grasso.
Still, he wasn't sold on the idea of coming back until Tom Pecora from nearby Hofstra was hired as the Rams' new coach.
"I wanted to play one more year to try to become a better player before trying for a pro career either (in the NBA) or overseas," Butler said. "When Coach Grasso didn't come back, it was a matter of who came in as to whether I'd finish (at Fordham) or at another school.
"It was a decision me and my family made together, and it ended up being a good one. ... (Pecora) has been a blessing. He's brought in a new structure and new way of doing things."
The new way of doing things has paid off for the Rams, who have tripled their win total from all of last season already, which has been the real payoff as far as Butler is concerned.
"It's just good to be winning again," Butler said. "Instead of leaving, I really wanted to come back after going 2-26 last year."
The extra season may also pay off for Butler in other ways.
For starters, after becoming only the 33rd player in Fordham history to score at least 1,000 points for his career, Butler is now 11th on the school's all-time scoring list with 1,329 points, and has a very real chance to move into the top 10.
In addition, the his potential for a pro career -- either joining former Norcross teammates like Jodie Meeks, Gani Lawal and Al-Farouq Aminu in the NBA or playing overseas -- has gotten a boost from his performance this season.
But the future isn't really on Butler's mind at the moment.
"It's great to see so many of my old teammates and friends make it (to the NBA), and I'd love to join them," Butler said. "Obviously, the NBA is a dream of almost everybody who plays basketball. But right now, I'm just focusing on continuing to learn and get better, and I'll worry about that later."

US says Qaddafi must go, as action against Libya quickens
Hillary Clinton says Muammar Qaddafi must leave office 'now, without further violence or delay.' Global pressure intensifies with talk of no-fly zone and court inquiry into alleged crimes.
Salvatore Di Nolfi/Keystone/AP
Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton on Monday made it crystal clear: The United States says Muammar Qaddafi must go.
Speaking at the United Nations' Human Rights Council in Geneva, Secretary Clinton said the Libyan leader's violence against his own people meant that he must depart his office "now, without further violence or delay." And the US is keeping "all options on the table," she added, to protect Libya's civilian population and to encourage a transition to a legitimate government.
Clinton's words came as global pressure on the Qaddafi government continued to mount, with the European Union formally adopting sanctions against the regime Monday and global powers discussing establishment of a no-fly zone to protect Libyan civilians from any renewed bombardments.
The US is already repositioning forces already in the African region in the event a no-fly zone is adopted, the Pentagon said Monday.

Why would you convert all of them ? Just do the entire production
in 48 kHz, and convert the final result, e.g. in Ardour's export.
Not that converting all tracks separately would make any difference,
it's just a waste of time :-)
You seem to think that resampling is some very complex operation
that involves compromises and deliberate loss of quality, just as
e.g. mp3 or ogg encoding. That is not the case. As I wrote, it's
just a filter. It's a bit more difficult to write than e.g simple
EQ because the coefficients are changing for each sample. But in
the end the DSP operation that is done is exactly the same as for
a simple FIR filter, and any loss of quality will be similar as
Which in practice means it's *irrelevant*. Your 24 bit DACs may
provide 145 dB S/N in theory, in practice even the most expensive
ones don't even have 120 dB. The limit is the analog electronics,
and it is not imposed by technology but by physics. Even with the
best 24-bit converters you can buy at least the lower 4 bits will
be pure noise. And for a 32-bit converter (snake oil if there ever
was any), the lower 12 bits will be noise. That's assuming you have
a high level line input. For mic signals the actual S/N ratio will
even be lower, much lower in most cases.
Any noise added by a resampling filter or any other DSP operation
done in floating point is completely irrelevant in that context.
As are considerations about distortion etc. The processing done
by e.g. the FFT based filter in Jamin is orders of magnitude more
complex than what a resampler is doing. Even the best dynamic
processors will generate distortion at -100 dB or so, in most cases
a lot more. Any delay-based effects using cubic interpolation will
add a thousand times more degradation than resampling ever will.
In short, quality loss due to resampling is a non-issue, unless it
is done badly. Libsamplerate and zita-resampler will do it right.
A world of exhaustive, reliable metadata would be an utopia.
It's also a pipe-dream, founded on self-delusion, nerd hubris
and hysterically inflated market opportunities. (Cory Doctorow)

I am new to the hummingbird feeders. My husband got me a nice one for Christmas so I am trying it out this spring. The feeder is one that has its own stand and then 3 blown glass feeders. Through the winter, I had a thistle feeder hanging from the hummingbird stand. I am wondering if I can leave the thistle feeder there or does it need to be moved? Will the finches scare off the hummingbirds and vice versa? Thanks for any help. |
Follow-Up Postings:
I usually move my seed feeders away from the hummingbird feeders. The hummers may run off the finches. Penny |
