FYI, lady bugs are not effective against spider mites. I spent hundreds of dollars trying to use them on a grow before. They don't work. Thrips are their preferred food, so they don't really go after the mites, and they are attracted to the HID and will kamikaze themselves on the lamps. If you do a little searching here, you will find discussions about them. If you really want to try to control them with predators, there is another kind of mite that is more effective against spider mites.
OK I went through my bookmarks and found the site I was trying to recall.
Nature's Control - Beneficial Insects for Garden Pest Control
Check out that site. They have lots of info about which predators are best for which pests.
What about the side facing the sun? It's not any darker than Earth.
I'm a big fan of Pink Floyd. I'm a little bit of an audiophile. I built my own tube amps and mostly listen to music with Sennheiser HD-650s. What I really live about Pink Floyd is how well their albums are engineered/mastered. It's interesting to go through their catalog in chronological order and you can hear the changes over time. I'm sure when they were first signed, the label didn't want to spend too much, but after they started selling albums, they were given the best resources and the quality went up. The first albums aren't terrible, but you can really hear the difference with Dark Side of the Moon. Obscured by clouds and relics aren't too bad, but by the time they recorded DSotM, their recording quality was second to none IMHO.
This is in contrast to a band like Led Zeppelin. Their first album recordings suck. They are horrid recordings. I can't even listen to Led Zep I on my headphones. I can tolerate it when I'm listening with lower fidelity components though. When I'm in my basement, I have a little speaker dock for my iPhone. It sounds great for me while I'm working down there, but nobody would ever mistake it as high fidelity audio. I'll listen to the albums on that because I can't hear all the imperfections.
I'll second the recommendation of Animals and Wish You Were Here. Those two have both held the spot as my favorite Floyd album at one time or another.
