Tango hummingbird mint6/30/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() Provide soil microbes, mycorrhizae (beneficial fungi), earthworms,and even nematode predators the necessary organic matter and ecosystem to thrive while their actions aid in improving soil tilth and or friability (think of this as the ease with which roots are able to penetrate the soil).Provide shade for the soil to help reduce moisture loss and prevent weed seed germination.Help to improve soil organic matter as it breaks down.Do you know the many benefits of a proper organic mulch? Click here to learn more.Ī breathable organic mulch is not only aesthetically pleasing (looks nice) but can: With that said, many plants, like prairie natives, are quite adaptable to soil types and can thrive in heavy clay as easily as a loose sandy loam. Most plants will grow and flower and or fruit best where they have ample moisture and nutrients available during the growing season. Drought resistant plants will need to be well-established, usually 2-3 years at a minimum, in the garden or landscape before they are able to withstand lengthy periods (weeks or months) without supplemental water. These are the basic soil types and moisture levels where this plant will survive, not necessarily thrive. Soil & Moisture: Average moist, well-drained soils. Most plants that are native to alkaline soils can be grown in neutral to mildly acidic soils successfully, although the opposite generally is not true. Gardenias, for instance, may need to be sprayed with chelated iron. Acid loving plants that are grown under alkaline conditions often exhibit nutrient deficiencies since the roots are not able to draw some types of minerals from the soil. pH Range: Mildly Acidic, Neutral, Mildly AlkalineĪcidic or Strongly Acidic - pH less than 5.5 Mildly Acidic - pH 5.6-6.5 Neutral - pH 6.6-7.3 Mildly Alkaline - pH 7.4-8.4 Alkaline or Strongly Alkaline pH higher than 8.4. Outdoor Light: Full sun, Mostly sunnyįull Sun - 8 hours or more of direct sunlight Partial Sun or Partial Shade - 4-6 hours of direct sunlight AM Sun or Morning Sun or Cool Sunlight - cool sunlight but usually in the shade during the heat of the day Light Shade - Bright indirect sunlight for much of the day Filtered Shade - may receive some amount of direct moving sunlight like through trees but usually not for any extended period especially during the heat of the day Shade - no or very little direct sunlight, especially not during the heat of the day. ![]() If you do not know your zone you can find it by clicking on the " USDA Cold Hardiness Zones" link here or above. For more on stretching your cold hardiness zones see the " "Growing on the Edge Growing Guide". Our zones do not always agree but we try to use our own experience as to what can be depended on to return or have known reputable gardens and or horticulturists to reliably grow that plant in zones that are usually colder but sometimes warmer than what other resources have available. Each zone is separated by 10 oF and the map was updated in 2012. And these are averages, here in zone 8B ('A' represents the colder half of a zone and 'B' represents the warmer half of the zone and they are separated by about 5 oF) we have seen single digits but that is the exception but should be noted by the daring gardener. USDA Cold Hardiness Zones were established to give gardeners, horticulturists, farmers, nurseries, and landscape architects a universal way to describe where a plant will survive with regard to average winter lows for a region. Under poor growing conditions plants may be slightly to significantly smaller, whereas excellent growing conditions can produce larger more vigorous plants. Parentheses are used to indicate that the plant can potentially reach that dimension, although the sizes outside of the parentheses tend to be more typical. Feet are represented by a single quote and inches by a double quote. This is the average expected mature height by width in feet or inches.

System shock 2 shodan wallpaper6/30/2023 ![]() ![]() She was hacked by the game's protagonist (at the behest of the corrupt corporate Vice President Edward Diego, in exchange for a military-grade neural implant, and amnesty) and, to access the vital information about TriOptimum corporation, its ethical restrictions were removed, starting a process that eventually resulted in the AI going rogue, seizing control of the station's systems, robots and considerable defenses, and either slaughtering the whole staff or converting them into mutants and cyborgs-with the sole exception of its "creator", the unnamed hacker whom the player controls. SHODAN was created on Earth to serve as the artificial intelligence of the TriOptimum Corporation's research and mining space station Citadel Station, which orbits around Saturn. After she has been hacked, the cone turns red, the surface becomes covered in rough metallic material and four "tentacles" or "claws" grow from the top, with her actual face starting to form above that. In the cyberspace of System Shock, she is initially represented as an inverted blue-grey cone, reminiscent of the Master Control Program from the 1982 Disney film Tron. She is voiced by former Tribe keyboardist and vocalist, Terri Brosius, the wife of System Shock 2's sound editor, Eric Brosius, who distorted the samples to provide the distinctive SHODAN effect. On screens, SHODAN manifests herself as an eerie-looking green and/or grey female cybernetic face that usually wears a malevolent expression, and speaks with a chaotic, discordant voice. The disc version refers to SHODAN as either an 'it' or a 'he', while the later CD version uses 'she'. Her words are accompanied by stuttering, fluctuating voice pitch, shifts of timbre, and the presence of three voices speaking the same words with the constituent voices alternately lagging behind and leading ahead in different patterns, as well as computer glitches resembling a sound card malfunction. She is a megalomaniac with a god complex and sees humans as little better than insects, something which she constantly reminds the player of. SHODAN is an artificial intelligence whose moral restraints were removed from her programming by a hacker in order for Edward Diego, station chief of Citadel Station, on which SHODAN was installed, to delete compromising files regarding illegal experiments and his corruption. SHODAN has been compared to other famous AI characters, like GLaDOS from Portal, and praised for her unforgettable personality and omnipresent, threatening nature. ![]() The character has been well-received by gaming media, often considered one of the top video game villains and one of the best female characters in gaming. ![]() Voiced by Terri Brosius, SHODAN is known for her chaotic, discordant voice and manipulative nature. Created as the AI for TriOptimum Corporation's Citadel Station, SHODAN is hacked, causing her to go rogue, take control of the station, and turn the staff into mutants and cyborgs. SHODAN has a god complex and a malevolent demeanor. SHODAN (Sentient Hyper-Optimized Data Access Network) is a fictional artificial intelligence and the main antagonist of the cyberpunk-horror themed video games System Shock and System Shock 2. ![]()

Tutorial to make mouth gag toy6/30/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() 2.0″ – G and K sounds are hard to make and I was having real trouble understanding what she was saying. 1.875″ – It’s still reasonably easy to understand her here. ![]() 1.75″ – It’s relatively easy to understand MO’s speech while wearing this gag. Starting with aesthetics, The four following pictures show the difference in size of 1.75″, 1.875″, 2.0″, and 2.25″ balls. To start with, it’s probably helpful to know that MO’s mouth is 2.15″ when fully open. I hope this post helps but, realistically, the best I can do is tell you how the sizes I have available relate to MO. Nobody wants to order one of each size until you find the right one. MO in a 2″ ball gag from front.Īs a person with a ball gag fetish and a whole lot of kinks around mouths and gags, I’ve always found it frustrating exactly how HARD it is to actually know which gag to order. These gags are all from Pleasure Paradox. We just really like their products and the sizing options make this post possible. NOTE: Pleasure Paradox is not sponsoring this post.

They have interchangeable straps (good for cleaning) and a wide variety of colors and sizes. The gags we are discussing today are specifically silicone ball gags from Pleasure Paradox. There are a dizzying variety of sizes and each person is different in how they can tolerate various sizes for any length of time and the aesthetics of the gag.
