Michael Rand started RandBall with hopes that he could convince the world to love jumpsuits as much as he does. So far, he's only succeeded in using the word "redacted" a lot. He welcomes suggestions, news tips, links of pure genius, and pictures of pets in Halloween costumes here, though he already knows he will regret that last part.
Follow Randball on Twitter
We continue our series of guest posts from Gophers fans in Vegas with this effort from Steve Bailey, who tapped this whole thing out on his iPhone. Well done, Steve!
Oh, the Gophers. Can't anything ever be easy? We had simple requests: fly our discount airline out to the middle of the desert, put a few bucks down on the spread; watch a beatdown of a middling Mountain West team while we clink champagne glasses in the stands and figure out how we're going to make millions at the blackjack table. That's it.
This wasn't supposed to actually require patience or hand-wringing.
As we all know, you don't get to pick and choose which elements of Gopher Nation come with on the road. In fact, the feeling of "my God, they're actually going to blow this" is so familiar that its a requisite addition to any Gopher itinerary, home or away.
But that's both the curse and the blessing of following the Gophers on the road -- the further away you go, the more you feel right at home.
Being on the ground in Vegas for the season opener was interesting. Gopher fans swarmed the city -- maroon and gold covered the casino hotels until the wee hours of the morning and wearing a Minnesota shirt was an instant talking piece for anyone wandering the Strip.
But we also had to endure the hair-pulling, on-field, dark comedy that is Gopher football. Complete with crunch-time personal fouls and eight-yard punts. Honestly, it was hard to expect anything different, but this is VACATION, sorta.
Commiseration is nothing if not a human bonding experience and, even 2,000 miles away, the facepalms and ROFLs felt as familiar as Dinkytown traffic. And really, that's what all of us came out here for - a comfortable slice of home with the possible Hangover stories that accompany a trip to Sin City.
As Randball's Las Vegas correspondent, though, its important to note that Minnesotans really did take this town over. The loudest part of the casino at 5 a.m. was a group of Gopher fans killing it at the craps table and Minnesota apparel was met with awe on the steet. Not disgust.
The weekend is just getting started, and its nice to have a head start on celebrating. Of course, in the end, a win is a win but unfortunately the gametime spread was 9.5 points - a virtual blowout by Vegas standards. For those of us that bet "over", as any rational, loyal fan would do, we came away with a familiar feeling this weekend.
#notimpressed ... sorta
Forget about that, though. It's Vegas, baby. 1-0.

Social Networking Comes to Procurement?
I've been asked several times over the past year by internal colleagues and various vendors whether I see demand for "Facebook" type social networking functionality in procurement applications. My response is usually something along the lines of, "You've got to be kidding!" even though I love Facebook and I use it all the time to keep up with personal relationships.
So why the poo-hooing you ask? Having spent 13 years in the field in procurement, I can tell you that "my kind" are often curmudgeonly, unsocial people. Consider the job of the procurement professional and you'll understand why. You typically have a lot of buying power, and as a result, you get throngs of people continually trying to flatter you, get your time, and be your "friend." It's well established fact a salesperson who remembers your children's names and asks you how your weekend went is more likely to win an order from you that one that just gets down to business. We are human after all. But after a few years of continuous "friendly gestures" from those throngs of salespeople, many procurement folks get jaded. And should I mention the fact that I haven't had a SINGLE end user client ask for this type of capability?
That is, until last week. I couldn't believe my ears! The client asked for social networking functionality, although the orientation was internal, not with suppliers. They were seeking something to facilitate interactions among distributed, global groups, and the idea of teammate pictures, interests and contact data was attractive.
And actually, I found a reason myself to think about social networking. I've been upgrading my vendor interaction record-keeping and I have noticed that gathering data such as titles, background and even pictures . . oh did I really say pictures? Yes I did . . .and having this data handy when I get on the phone with that vendor is really cool because I can actually visualize the person I am speaking with! Or at least I get a view of what the person looked like ten years ago ha ha ha.
But all kidding aside, these are exactly the types of triggers I've been waiting for to consider thoughts of social networking in procurement with more than a sigh. Facebook, here we come!

Potato-Quinoa Cakes with Smoked Salmon and Beets
- SERVINGS: 6 first-course servings
Quinoa gives these crisp fried cakes a great chewiness; the cornichon dressing is creamy and piquant.
cakes and beet salad
- 4 medium Yukon Gold potatoes (1 3/4 pounds), scrubbed but not peeled
- 2 medium beets (3/4 pound)
- 1/4 cup quinoa
- 1/2 cup minced red onion
- 2 tablespoons drained capers, chopped
- 2 tablespoons chopped parsley
- 1/2 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1/2 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest
- Salt
- 1 large egg white
- 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
- 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
- Vegetable oil, for frying
- All-purpose flour, for dusting
cornichon sauce
- 2/3 cup mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons drained capers, chopped
- 8 cornichons, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons minced red onion
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon chopped parsley
- 1 tablespoon chopped dill
- Salt
- 1/2 pound thinly sliced smoked salmon
- 2 hard-cooked eggs, chopped
- Parsley leaves, for garnish
- Dill sprigs, for garnish
- MAKE THE CAKES AND BEET SALAD Preheat the oven to 350°. Pierce the potatoes all over with a fork and wrap each one in foil. Put the beets and potatoes in a small baking pan, add 1/2 cup of water and cover the pan with foil. Bake for about 45 minutes, until the potatoes begin to soften. Unwrap the potatoes and let cool. Continue baking the beets for about 45 minutes longer, until just tender; let cool.
- Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, cover the quinoa with 1/2 cup of water. Bring to a boil, then cover and cook over low heat until the water is absorbed and the quinoa is tender, about 10 minutes. Let cool to room temperature.
- Peel the potatoes and coarsely shred them on a box grater. In a large bowl, combine the red onion, capers, parsley, mustard and lemon zest. Add the grated potatoes and the quinoa and mix well. Season with salt and stir in the egg white. Shape the mixture into 12 cakes. Arrange the cakes on a baking sheet and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
- Peel the beets and cut them into 1/4-inch dice. In a bowl, toss the beets with the wine vinegar and olive oil and season with salt.
- MAKE THE CORNICHON SAUCE Combine all of the ingredients except the salt in a bowl. Season the sauce with salt.
- Preheat the oven to 325°. In a large nonstick skillet, heat 1/4 inch of vegetable oil. Lightly dust the potato cakes with flour and add half of them to the skillet. Cook over moderately high heat for 1 minute. Lower the heat to moderate and cook until browned on the bottom, about 2 minutes. Turn the cakes and cook until browned on the other side, about 3 minutes. Transfer the cakes to a rimmed baking sheet and keep warm in the oven while you fry the remaining cakes; add more oil to the skillet if necessary.
- Transfer the potato cakes to plates. Top with the smoked salmon and spoon the beet salad and cornichon sauce alongside. Garnish with the chopped eggs, parsley leaves and dill sprigs and serve.
Suggested Pairing
Minerally, full-bodied Alsatian Riesling would be a terrific pairing.

Andy, my next-door neighbor, is a fisherman. We talk from time to time across our backyard decks. Andy has never asked me about the Chesapeake Bay Watershed Agreement signed in June 2014. But if he did, how would I explain it? Are the ten goals of the Agreement connected?
Of course they are. Think fish, think Chesapeake Bay, and the mind conjures rockfish, crabs and oysters - restored and protected. That's Goal 1, Sustainable Fisheries. What do fish, wildlife and other living things need to survive? Vital Habitats made up of restored underwater grasses, streams, forest buffers and tree canopy (Goal 2). Habitats require good Water Quality, which means reducing pollutant loads flowing into the Bay (Goal 3). But is water quality alone enough? Nope: Toxic Contaminants, such as mercury and PCBs, harm both wildlife and human health and must be reduced (Goal 4).
Are we finished? Not yet. Our good waters must remain healthy (Healthy Watersheds, Goal 5). Without increasing our leadership – citizens and elected officials committed to restoration – our efforts are for naught (Stewardship, Goal 6). Our Chesapeake Bay region is blessed with ecologically valuable and treasured lands that protect our waters and enhance our lives (Land Conservation, Goal 7).
What brings the magic of the Bay home most of all? Experiencing it – swimming, boating and fishing – which means increased Public Access (Goal 8). Future leadership is essential; our children must graduate from school with the knowledge and skills to protect and restore our lands and waters (Environmental Literacy, Goal 9). And our restoration efforts must account for changing climactic conditions and sea level rise (Climate Resiliency, Goal 10).
So, that's it: ten steps to a restored Chesapeake Bay. Have a good day, Andy.
The Chesapeake Bay Foundation once again gave the Chesapeake Bay a "D+" grade in its biennial State of the Bay report, with improvements in water quality offset by declines in fisheries.
This grade remains the same from the nonprofit's 2012 report. The score of 32 on a one-to-100 scale marks an improvement of one point since 2010 and of four points since 2008 but remains well short of the Foundation's goal of 70, representing an "A+" or a "saved Bay."
According to the report, four of the 13 indicators of Bay health showed signs of recovery: dissolved oxygen, water clarity, oyster populations and underwater grass abundance. Of those, dissolved oxygen showed the greatest improvement, with this year's "dead zone" - an area of little to no dissolved oxygen where aquatic life is unable to thrive - the smallest it has been in thirty years. But these advances were offset by declines blue crab and striped bass populations, as well as increases in phosphorous pollution.
Chesapeake Bay Foundation President William C. Baker attributes improvements in water quality to the "Clean Water Blueprint," or Total Maximum Daily Load - a comprehensive plan to reduce pollution going to the Bay and its rivers and streams.
"We have never before had this level of accountability and transparency in Bay restoration efforts," said Baker in a release. "Our children and grandchildren can inherit a restored Chesapeake Bay, but only if we continue the hard work and investments that will lead to success."
The Chesapeake Bay Program will publish Bay Barometer, its annual snapshot of watershed-wide health and restoration, later this month. The Bay Program is a voluntary partnership that includes the six watershed states of Delaware, Maryland, New York, Pennsylvania, Virginia and West Virginia, the District of Columbia, the Chesapeake Bay Commission and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency representing the federal government.
Learn more about the Chesapeake Bay Foundation.
Nearly 18 million people reside in the Chesapeake Bay region, with more moving to the area each year. Growing disputes over land use have conservationists working hard to protect the robust natural resources that can be found within the Bay region. A significant part of these efforts include developing and improving public access points as means for people to experience, explore and develop connections to the land, water and wildlife.
Nestled in between Accokeek Creek and Potomac Creek, Crow's Nest Natural Area Preserve in Stafford, Virginia serves as one of the state's highest land conservation priorities in the past 10 years. "This is a priority site because it's such a large intact ecosystem. You have thousands of acres of mature hardwood forest on the coastal plain in Virginia," explained Michael Lott, Crow's Nest Manager and Northern Region Steward for the Virginia Department of Conservation and Recreation (DCR).
In addition to around 2,200 acres of mature hardwood forest, the site boasts 750 acres of nearly pristine wetlands and more than 10 miles of hiking trails, and it acts as a safe haven for wildlife and countless viewing opportunities for critters such as migratory waterfowl, white-tailed deer, river otters and beavers.
The preserve and those who manage it have faced many obstacles over the past few decades, including population growth and development encroaching on the area. "In the 1970's, there were around 30,000 people in Stafford County; a few of the subdivisions were vacation homes for people in D.C. Now, the population is about 130,000. This is the best remaining tidal marsh in Stafford County, so our priority here is conservation," said Geoff Austin, Northern Region Operations Steward with DCR.
Despite the vastness of the preserve and the great potential it holds for environmental education and recreational opportunities, the property is largely closed to the public until further operational resources can be effectively implemented.
The dynamic duo of Lott and Austin dedicate 90 percent of their working hours toward maintaining the preserve and trying to make it accessible to the public, but one major hurdle stands in their way – a mile-and-a-half long access road. "The big obstacle is the access road to the [completed] parking lot. We need to raise the money to fix that road. That road has been there since the colonial era, it's been dug down and needs a lot of work before it's passable for cars," explained Austin. The team – with help from volunteers - keeps the trails clear, maintains the parking lot and plans to install proper trail signage once the road is completed.
Lott and Austin measure their success one victory - no matter the size - at a time, their latest being the installation of a handicap-accessible boat ramp to be opened to the public within the next couple of months. The ramp overlooks acres of tidal marsh, provides access to Accokeek Creek and lays adjacent to a half-mile trail complete with benches for wildlife observers. "It's a great birding spot," said Austin. The launch is part of a larger plan to connect a water trail system along the Potomac River.
DCR wants the public to be able to experience the preserve's natural wonder. "In the past, this landscape did not lend itself to farming very well, and so a lot of the soil we have out here is still very much intact. Researchers have said that throughout the mid-Atlantic and East Coast, you can't find soil like this in very many places anymore, which is why the forest out here is so productive," explained Lott. "A lot of the forest, particularly in the ravines, hasn't been logged intensively since the Civil War, so it's trending back toward mature forest. [For this reason] we keep the trails clear and have been holding open houses twice a year for five years now, so people have had the opportunity to see it and enjoy the trails."
Tending to nearly 3,000 acres of forest and wetlands is no simple task for two people, but the work is done out of a place of deep caring and passion for protecting and sharing the special places in life with the public. "I grew up in this area and it's nice to have an intact piece of hardwood [forest] that is going to be preserved in the area for years to come. It's great to be able to walk out there when I'm working or hunting and see the big trees; you don't see that in many other places in this area. As stewards of the land year-round you spend a lot of time here – it means a lot to be able to take care of this place." said Austin.

Many of us look forward to celebrations and gift-giving during the holiday season, but these festivities can be tough on the environment as households use more energy and throw out extra trash. Between Thanksgiving and New Year's Day, Americans send about one million additional tons of garbage to the landfill. Give a gift to the Chesapeake Bay this year with our guide to reducing the impact of your holiday gift exchange.
1. Give experiences. Research has shown that spending money on events – not material purchases – creates lasting memories and provides the most happiness. Give the gift of experiences this year with gifts like concert tickets, cooking classes, museum memberships or national park passes. You could also plan a trip for someone special to one of the many parks and public access sites across the Bay region.
2. Edible gifts. Homemade treats give your gift a personal touch, and by packaging them in a reusable container, you can help reduce the amount of trash going to the landfill. Bake a batch of your favorite cookies, pack a basket full of snacks or fill a mason jar with the dry ingredients needed to make muffins, soups, or hot cocoa. Monica from The Yummy Life shares her recipe for double chocolate hot cocoa mix, complete with printable labels to decorate the jars. For more ideas, check out this list from The Kitchn of 40 homemade edible gifts, from salted pistachio brittle to fruit-infused vinegars.
3. Handmade items. Crafting handmade items from recycled materials can give new life to things you might otherwise throw out. Try using an old teacup as the base for a decorative candle with these instructions from Little House Living, or turn an old sweater into a cozy pillow cover with these instructions from Pop Sugar. Simple crafts like these salt dough ornaments from The Artful Parent are perfect for young kids to make for family and friends.
4. Upcycled materials. If crafting isn't your specialty, find a store that repurposes recycled materials to make their products. Store such as UncommonGoods sell a variety of "upcycled" merchandise, ranging from a wallet made from an old fire hose to cufflinks made from railroad nails. For kids' toys, many companies like Green Toys use recycled plastic from milk jugs to make their products.
5. Waste-reducing gadgets. Look for devices that help reduce waste of all kinds – from wasted energy to household trash – for gifts that can help save money and the environment. For the tech-lover, try gadgets like "smart" light switches or learning thermostats that adjust to your schedule to reduce the energy you use. To reduce the amount of waste that goes into the trash bin, consider gifts like reusable lunch bags, grocery bags, water bottles, or coffee thermoses.
6. Creative gift wrapping. Wrapping paper is often used once and thrown away, and much of the shiny, metallic paper is not recyclable. By packaging gifts in creative coverings like colorful shopping bags, old newspapers or decorative cloth instead of paper, you can reduce the amount of wrapping paper that goes in the garbage. With reusable tins or baskets, you can even eliminate the need to wrap presents at all! As a finishing touch, decorate gifts with reusable cloth ribbon or even try making your own bows from recycled paper instead of using plastic ribbon.
7. Rechargeable batteries. According to the EPA, nearly 40% of battery sales occur during the holidays. But depleted batteries can be difficult to dispose of and harmful to the environment. If you're giving a device that uses batteries, consider including rechargeable batteries and a charger with your gift to help reduce waste and prevent harmful chemicals from entering the environment.
What Bay-friendly gifts are you giving this year? Let us know in the comments!

Rapid Reaction: Rangers 10, Yankees 6
August, 16, 2012
By Ian Begley / ESPNNY.com
The Texas Rangers avoided a sweep on Thursday with a 10-6 win in the final game of their four-game series against the New York Yankees:
WHAT IT MEANS: The Rangers offense looked lost in its first three games in the Bronx. But the Ranger bats finally woke up on Thursday. Texas put up an eye-popping 10 runs on 16 hits against the Yankees and could have done more damage. Ron Washington's club missed opportunities to score throughout the game. Fortunately for Texas, the bullpen held on through some tense moments in the seventh and eighth to seal the win.
COMING UP CLUTCH: The Rangers fell apart in the bottom of the sixth, allowing five runs on five hits and an error and losing a 4-0 lead. But they showed immediate resiliency in the seventh, plating three runs to take the lead back. David Murphy drove in Michael Young with an RBI double to tie the game at 5-5 and Craig Gentry delivered the big blow -- a two-strike, two-out, two-run single to put Texas up, 7-5.
Murphy had been hitless in his last five at-bats with runners in scoring position, but he had two hits in such situations on Thursday. The other was an RBI single in the sixth.
YOUNG FOREVER: Michael Young took a day off on Wednesday for the first time in over two months. He returned to the field looking plenty refreshed on Thursday. Young went 2-for-5 with a walk and two runs scored against the Yankees. He entered play Thursday with just one hit in his last 14 at-bats. One blemish: he grounded out with Elvis Andrus on third and none out in the eighth. A fly ball would have driven Andrus in.
Galloway and Company overreact to the Rangers' win against the Yankees. Randy says he's still worried about Derek Holland's inconsistency. Listen |
But you could argue that Holland deserved a better fate.
He was victimized by poor fielding behind him. Derek Jeter reached second on a single when Gentry missed the cutoff man. He was then driven in on Nick Swisher's single. Holland seemed to be out of trouble later in the inning when he induced a fly ball to right from Casey McGehee, but the ball was botched by Mike Olt and McGehee ended up on second (see below). Washington then lifted Holland from the game.
UP AND DOWN DAY FOR JOSH: Josh Hamilton had two hits on Sunday but also registered two costly strikeouts. Hamilton's first punch out came with none out and the bases loaded in the third. The Rangers failed to drive in a run in the inning. His second 'K' was with one on and none out in the seventh. But Texas went on to score three runs and take the lead…. Adrian Beltre made two highlight worthy plays at third base. He also had a bases-clearing single in the first and was thrown out trying to stretch it to a double.
ROOKIE MISTAKE: Olt made his first start in right field on Thursday. And his misplay in the sixth really hurt the Rangers. Olt dropped a fly ball off the bat of Casey McGehee with two out in the sixth. Had Olt made the catch, the Rangers could have escaped the inning tied with the Yankees at 4-4. But, after Holland was pulled, Russell Martin singled to center to drive in McGehee and give the Yankees a 5-4 lead.
WHAT'S NEXT: The Rangers open a three-game series against Toronto on Friday night. Righty Yu Darvish (12-8, 4.54 ERA) takes on J.A. Happ (8-10, 5.04 ERA) in the series opener.

5 A fantastic and funny game that is well worth your time.Harrymatic | 13/12/2009 | See all Harrymatic's reviews (2)Sam & Max Season 1 is the absolute funniest game that I have ever played by a longshot. The six episodes will take the normal player 3+ hours to complete. Everything about this game has been finetuned to perfection, and the result is stunning. The game's controls are simple and intuitive as the Wiimote is well-suited for point and clicl adventure games. However, the game does slow down in places, but this detracts little from the overall experiance. By far my favourite game on Wii, I am eagarly awaiting the release of Sam & Max Season 2.
5 Classic AdventuringRedYarTTom | 17/12/2008 | See all RedYarTTom's reviews (1)Inside this little box of wonders are 6 episodes (roughly about 2 - 3 hours worth of gameplay each, depending on individual skill level and how much you like to explore), and within each episode, a reason to laugh. :).Each episode is unique, with a wild setting for each, everything from becoming President of the United States to acting out a TV show where you're trying to hide a cow in your appartment from a chicken!!If you've ever played a point and click adventure, then these are essential! If you've never tried it, and are looking for a bit of family fun, but also something to make you smile...this game will do just that. :).I cannot recomend it enough. Give it a shot! :)

They just cannot help themselves, whether it's a rising star in GOP circles, or a long-time, grizzled elected Senator. I'm enjoying the complete lack of any pretense as bigotry continues to spill from the lips of these folks, who either cannot digest or have to desire to digest the message that the GOP "autopsy" conducted and released by party head Reince Priebus conveyed about "outreach" to the very groups it has spent decades alienating. The autopsy is spawning a lot of classic GOP walking [brain] dead.

Publisher's Description
+Password Angel is an elegant solution to a problem of storage, structuring, and protection of sensitive data. Using a single password for several services, a weak password for brute-force, storage of information in the open form. This password manager solves the above mentioned problems in an easy and effective way. Password Angel uses just one master password to unlock your whole password database. Furthermore, what is important, this master password is not used directly for the user identification on the services. The problem of data organization is solved thanks to password grouping in a hierarchical structure that is analogous to computer file systems. The flexible password generator which is always at hand will enable you to create a crack-resistant authentication data, for which brute-force is eliminated.
What's new in this version:
Version 13.04 has fixed a bug with missing of vertical scroll bar for a Notes field.

Sigma's smash single "Nobody To Love" continues its quest for global domination….
It just went Platinum in Australia after racking up 70 thousand sales. To date, "Nobody To Love" has sold 550 thousand in the UK, 100 thousand in Germany, 35 thousand in Holland & Belgium combined, 20 thousand in New Zealand and 25 thousand across the rest of the world. That's just 200 thousand short of a million sales worldwide.

Yesterday, DH & I took a day trip to Manchester, New Hampshire. I know Manchester is not on most people's destination list, and it rarely gets mentioned here except that its airport is a great option for people who want to tour Northern New England without going through Boston Logan.
Originally, we were going to spend a weekend in NH, with Sat touring the Monadnock region, and Sunday for Manchester area. However, with threats of heavy rain and thunderstorms predicted for Saturday, we decided to take a rain check (no pun intended) on the Monadnock region.
We couldn't cancel our Manchester plan on Sunday because I had pre-purchased tickets for touring the Zimmerman House.
We left home around 8:30am and arrived at Bedford Village Inn in Bedford an hour later for breakfast. The Inn was recommended by djkbooks in another thread. It is a beautiful Inn in a pretty setting; the *ideal* place for a New England wedding! The Inn has 2 dining options: the more formal dining room (with a nice view of the gardens), and the cheaper Tavern (still nice inside, just no view). I believe they share the same kitchen.
We picked the Tavern, where they serve breakfast on Sundays from 8-10am. When we went in, it was kind of spooky, as there was nobody there. No diners, no staff. We actually waited around for 5 minutes before I was able to flag down someone inside the kitchen. After that initial odd event, everything was great. I had the New England Scramble (farm eggs, local bacon & sausages, Vt cheddar cheese), DH had the Greek Scramble. Both came with toasts and homemade jams. We were given 3 kinds: strawberry, blueberry, and peach. Overall, it was a lovely breakfast.
Next, we drove into Manchester to the former site of the Amoskeag Mills. WOW! I had no idea about Manchester's history until now. The Amoskeag company was the largest textile manufacturer in the WORLD during the 1800s and early 1900s. An enormous complex of mills, warehouses, housing lined the Eastern bank of the Merrimack River.
Compared to the mills in Lowell (which I found impressive), the Amoskeag is at least several times larger in size. At the peak of the company, it employed 15,000 people, a good majority of the Manchester population.
Anyway, the buildings in the mill complex are now mostly offices. We visited the SEE Science Center located in one of the mill buildings. http://www.see-sciencecenter.org/ The Science Center is sort of a primitive version of a Science Museum, mostly catered to children. However, since the place was almost empty, DH & I got to "play" with many of the hands-on machines/experiments.
But the main reason to visit the Science Center, was to see its Millyard Lego Project. http://i406.photobucket.com/albums/pp146/y2000k/Manchester%20NH/IMG_5874.jpg
This is the largest permanent installation of LEGO project in the world. It is made up of 3 million LEGO blocks, depicting the entire Amoskeag complex at its height. Apart from factory buildings, the Amoskeag Co also contributed to building playgrounds and other recreational sites for its factory workers.
To be continued...

I think they've done a wonderful job with the old mill buildings. I didn't realize until recently when we were driving on 293 that the architecture of newish Hilton Garden Inn by the ball park echoes the mills.
Looking forward to the rest of your report! -
Report Abuse
In the same building as the SEE Science Center, is the Millyard Museum exhibition the 11,000+ years of history in the Manchester area. Unfortunately, it is not open on Sundays. http://www.manchesterhistoric.org/mill.htm
Our next stop was the Currier Museum of Art. We arrived just around 12 noon, which means we have 90 minutes to spare before our 1:30pm guided tour of the Zimmerman House.
It's a nice little museum. The permanent collection is heavy on European and American art. We enjoyed all 3 of their temporary exhibitions as well.
We ate lunch at the museum's Winter Garden Cafe. http://www.currier.org/visit/cafe.aspx It is a nice, airy, bright, and welcoming atmosphere. The menu is simple: mostly salads, wraps, and paninis. Everything is made fresh to order. DH had a roast beef panini, and I had a curry chicken wrap, and we shared a turtle cheesecake for dessert. The food was very good for a museum cafe, and the prices are very reasonable.
Finally, the main goal and highlight of our trip: tour of the Zimmerman House designed by Frank Lloyd Wright. http://www.currier.org/collections/zimmerman.aspx
I admit that I did not know about this house until I was flipping through my Fodors guidebook of ME/VT/NH. While we aren't fanatics of FLW, we enjoy architecture and we like FLW's designs.
What's special about the Zimmerman House (1950) is that only the Zimmermans have lived there. They had no children, so they decided to donate their house to the Art Museum upon their deaths. As a result, everything in the house is original to the house. This is often NOT the case at other FLW's houses, where descendants sell off furniture, or new owners redecorated.
Photos are not allowed inside the house on our tour (the museum does offer a special Photographers' tour on which you can take photos); all I can tell you is that it is lovely. There is harmony and nature all over the house, and DH & I just wish we could move right in. The house also reminds me of Kentuck Knob, not surprising as that was built just a few years after the Zimmerman House was completed. Here is a photo of the back side of the house: http://i406.photobucket.com/albums/pp146/y2000k/Manchester%20NH/IMG_5881.jpg
I highly anyone who is interested in architecture and/or FLW to go visit the Zimmerman House. You should reserve your tickets in advance if you plan to visit on the weekends. Each tour has space for 13 people only.
On the same street as the Zimmerman House, just 3 houses down, is another FLW house. These are the only 2 FLW houses in NH. After the Zimmerman got their new house, one of their friends loved it so much that he then commissioned FLW to build one for him down the street. But this one is quite different in style - it's one of FLW's "concrete block" houses, rather than prairie-style house the Zimmerman is. Our tour bus drove past the concrete block house so that we could see its exterior. It is a private home, but it's currently up for sale for $1.8M, in case you're interested
After we returned to the Art Museum, we spent some more time in the upstairs galleries, before we headed home around 4:30pm.
While Manchester doesn't have too much to offer to tourists, I'm glad we made this trip: good food, wonderful art & architecture, interesting history always make a great combo.
Thanks for reading! -

Thanks yk for your trip report! Perhaps I'll swing by Manchester some future trip to the Boston area.
Don't be discouraged that seemingly few people read; people I think are mostly interested in reading trip reports on destinations that they've lived in, visited or imminently want to go to. I think (possibly deluding myself) sometimes the trip reports to places off most travellers' radars such as Manchester NH are so scarce, that when someone DOES decide to go there in a few years' time and does a search, your trip report will still be around and an important resource. I've written some that very few people have read to places-off-most-people's-brains like Moncton, NB, Sherbrooke,QC or Trois-Rivieres, QC (despite the absence of trip reports, I think all three towns have character & interesting offerings for visitors, that's why I wanted to share here). I too felt discouraged, but then one person whose daughter got a position at UdeSherbrooke found my Sherbrooke trip report some two years after the visit, and thanked me since it was the only one around! I'm sure my London, New Orleans or San Francisco trip reports would not appear using the "search the forums" option now, as there are many of those around.
Thanks again, Daniel -

I enjoy all your reports, yk! Your trips always include off-beat and interesting spots instead of the obvious tourist sights.
In fact, since you are so good a trip planning, would you like to plan my trip to Turkey in September?

So sad. Paul Walker, the star of many hit movies including the 'Fast and the Furious' series, died on Nov. 30 after being involved in a single car accident and explosion. He was 40 years old.
Paul Walker, 40, died on Nov. 30 after getting into a fiery car accident in Southern California. The car Paul was in was the only one involved in the crash, though it also killed the driver, Roger Rodas, 38. Roger and Paul co-owned Always Evolving's race team.
Paul Walker Dead — 'The Fast & The Furious' Actor Dies In Car Accident
A rep for Paul told HollywoodLife.com, "Sadly, I must confirm that Paul did pass away this afternoon." A statement was also posted on Paul's Facebook page:
It is with a truly heavy heart that we must confirm that Paul Walker passed away today in a tragic car accident while attending a charity event for his organization Reach Out Worldwide. He was a passenger in a friend's car, in which both lost their lives. We appreciate your patience as we too are stunned and saddened beyond belief by this news. Thank you for keeping his family and friends in your prayers during this very difficult time. We will do our best to keep you apprised on where to send condolences. – #TeamPW
The tragic accident reportedly occurred in Santa Clarita, which is north of Los Angeles, at around 3:30 p.m., according to the Santa Clarita Valley Signal. The Fast and the Furious star was in a Porsche when the driver, friend and business partner Roger Rodas, somehow lost control of the vehicle. It then slammed into multiple trees and then burst into flames.
"Sheriffs deputies are currently investigating a two person accident," Deputy Heischuber of the Santa Clarita Sheriff's Station told HollywoodLife.com exclusively. "Two people were pronounced dead immediately at the scene. The coroner's office are the ones who will determine the identity." (Because Paul's body is reportedly unidentifiable, the autopsy has been delayed.)
"Him and his buddy, his brother in arms at heart just decided to joyride, take a spin," eyewitness Antonio Holmes told the Valley Signal. "Something we all do. We're all car enthusiasts. … We're all here driving, enjoying each other, and God must've needed help."
Antonio, who said he was a friend of Paul's, revealed that he and many others rushed to the scene to try and help, but it was of no use. "It was engulfed in flames. There was nothing. They were trapped. Employees, friends of the shop. We tried. We tried."
Another eyewitness, Jim Torp, told the newspaper, "This was just a tragic accident that happened on a joyride." Paul has been a longtime car enthusiast, and admitted he has 17 cars of his own.
The Life Of Paul Walker
The actor first gained fame when he starred in the 1999 film Varsity Blues. From there he became a household name, especially when he landed the role he is most known for — as Brian O'Connor in The Fast and the Furious movie series. Other films he starred in include Eight Below, Into the Blue, She's All That, and Takers.
He is survived by his 15-year-old daughter, Meadow. She was reportedly at the fundraiser where the crash occurred, according to People.
This is such a brutal tragedy that has taken an actor who was still in his prime. He will be sorely missed. Our thoughts and prayers go out to his friends and family in this difficult time.

Terry Pierce - Boro meltdown started with the sacking of Southgate
Published: 19 Oct 2010 - 13:17:41
Just when you think it's been a quiet week in the Football League, up pops another managerial change and a club in crisis.
This time round it's Middlesbrough's turn to be in the spotlight for all the wrong reasons, with Gordon Strachan tearing up his contract and walking away empty handed after a rotten start to the season, leaving the Teessiders languishing in 20th spot in the Championship.
Strachan had been in charge at The Riverside for less than a year and won only 13 of his 46 games in charge, presiding over Boro's worst start to a season in the second tier since 1985.
Conveniently for stats fans, he took charge of exactly one season's worth of games, and the points total would see the club relegated from the Championship more often than not.
His record becomes even more shocking when you consider the amount of money he had at his disposal and the calibre of player he brought to the club in the summer, including half of the Scottish Premier League select XI it seemed.
But Boro's problems didn't start this season, or over the summer. They didn't even start when they employed Strachan.
Their current predicament can be traced right back to the frankly ludicrous decision to sack Gareth Southgate.
A year ago tomorrow the former England defender was relieved of his duties at The Riverside. He left the club sitting fourth in the Championship, one point off top spot.
The nucleus of the squad was not too dissimilar to the one that battled against relegation from the top flight and, although their form was inconsistent, they looked well positioned in the early promotion mix.
But Chairman Steve Gibson, usually very well respected, decided on a change.
All the hard work put in by Southgate and his staff to prepare their new squad for the ensuing promotion challenge went down the pan, and his departure triggered another massive turnover of players.
Cue Strachan and the Scottish invasion.
It's very hard to put your finger on exactly why it went so terribly wrong for Strachan. His dealings in the transfer market looked solid and his CV stands up to most other bosses at that level.
But it clearly went drastically badly from day one.
Now the hunt is on for another gaffer, and another coach-load of departures and arrivals will ensue as soon as the transfer window opens.
Early rumours point to another former Celtic man, Tony Mowbray, leading the queue to succeed Strachan.
But make no mistake, Boro are a team deep in the dauldrons - with plummeting crowds, a large squad of unsettled players and a relegation battle on their hands.
Not the most attractive of jobs, is it?
Sav Celebrates In Style
Love him or hate him, Robbie Savage deserves huge respect.
He celebrated his 36th birthday and 600th professional appearance by scoring in Derby's home win against Preston on Saturday.
He'd be the first to admit he's not the most talented of players, but he has carved out a long and fruitful career at the top through hard work and commitment.
Fair play to the bloke.

Here is what it looks like with both wings attached. I put a ty-rap on it for the picture. There isn't much room between the hooks for a spring, maybe 5/8". I could use a socket head screw with a hole drilled through the head and gain a lot more room. Something to think about.
Since there is not much wood in the wing to hold the wing on I don't want to put too much pull on the hooks.The carbon tube spar and the fiberglass rod at the front should only allow the wing to move straight out, so there shouldn't be too much pull required. The extra wood I put behind the spring nuts should help spread the load out, but the rib is only attached at the edge to the Obeche skin. I think the only real wood that is in the wing is at the front and at the trailing edge by the flap hinge where the existing retainers are located. I thought about drilling the retainers out and putting a rod into each hole, then using a screw up from the bottom of each wing into the rod. You can't really get to the retainer location from the hatch to do anything else inside the fuselage. Another idea is to drill a small hole in the bottom of the each wing into the existing fiberglass rod and put a screw into it. That would hold the nose end of the wing together while the hooks held the back end. ImagesView all Images in thread |
Oct 31, 2012, 10:13 AM | |
Interesting! I did the same on some glider by drilling a hole(1/2" or so) on the root rib, glue a piece of 4" or so of wood dowel in with epoxy and then glue in an eye bolt to the dowel. Most of the case, there isn't a way to get behind the root rib. I just received mine (electric version) from SoaringUSA, it has a white (glass) main wing joiner and a black(carbon fiber)front. The glider version has the carbon main joiner(from your photo). So what is the proper CG? it is still at the 10mm after the flap TE? Brian, an EAJ |
Oct 31, 2012, 01:52 PM | |
If you draw a line straight across the fuselage at the back corners of the Flaps as a starting point, the CG is 10mm behind that. It's pretty stable there, you can move it little more rearward than that, but do it in small increments. As you know, CG on flying wings is a fickle thing sometimes. Post some pictures as you can and be sure to give us a flight report. (Video is always great) Mark |

I emailed LET twice last June for availability of this bird; no reply.
I found a retail outlet here in Oz that handles LET models; emailed asking availability 6 weeks ago; last communication said they were looking into it a month ago. Stone the crows! How come all the designs that catch my eye are either from a bygone era, long out of production, or otherwise virtually unobtanium. Curse of an island economy and the tyranny of distance. I blame the Radian fliers for lowering the bar . . . the carbon-composite junkies for raising it too high . . . the government . . . the Collingwood football club . . . and the drongo that backed into my ute last Friday night. And another thing . . . |

Sony's head of hardware marketing John Koller claims that demand for the PlayStation 4 is still outstripping supply some two months after its release.
In an interview with GotGame, Koller said: "...we still have demand far outstripping supply and I think we're doing everything we can to bring in regular shipments of PlayStation 4s and are doing so"
"Many of your listeners and readers are probably aware that there's a certain time each week when PlayStation 4s are available at their local retailers. We are certainly doing that on a weekly basis, but demand is still exceptional."
The PS4 launched worldwide in November with many consumers unable to get hold of a console immediately. Much of the praise heaped on Sony's next-gen gaming machine comes down to a variety of factors, including its power, said to be ten times more powerful than PS3, great features and strong launch line-up games. After the delay of Watch Dogs and DriveClub, however, the release day line-up was actually less than impressive, although consumers can look forward to many exclusives in 2014 and beyond, including Deep Down, HellDivers and inFamous: Second Son.

Hamming it up among friends
Hamletta was not long for this world. But before this 236-pound Hampshire pig went to the auction block, she and her handler, Dominic Andrew Hosley, got their day in the sun at the Sonoma County Fair.
Hosley, 17, got Hamletta in March when she was three months old and had taken care of her every day since. But this wasn't his first trip around the barnyard. The Santa Rosa High School senior and Future Farmer of America has been raising and showing pigs since he was a freshman.
"I like pigs," he said. "They have a lot of personality."
That can come in handy during the 12-hour days Hosley spent in the barn tending Hamletta during the county fair and preparing her for the livestock show and auction. Working alongside his competitors is intense, he said, but also gives him the chance to catch up with friends he meets only at multi-school Future Farmers of America events.
As always, Hosley admits to experiencing some nerves at Tuesday's livestock show.
"Showing pigs, you kind of go into this meditation: you, the pig and the judge," he said.
For his effort, Hosley won second place in Hamletta's class, Lightweight Hampshires. At last year's livestock show, he took first in his age group and second overall with his pig, Kevin Bacon.
The fair also gives exhibitors the chance to help each other out.
Christopher Sharp, a 17-year-old Santa Rosa High 2014 graduate, is in his fourth year showing hogs. During a previous year at the fair, he stepped in to teach a boy from another school how to prepare his hog for the show ring. Sharp told the boy how to shave his pig, then shared a good laugh after the nervous young man shaved a small bald spot.
In the market show, judges inspect pigs for a "strong barrel and nice hams," said Hosley. For the showmanship portion, they look for how well the student handles his animal while also judging it for "meat quality, like right ratios between fat and muscle."
The auction, Hosley said, is hectic, but over quickly. "It's bittersweet," he said. While he is glad for completing the process, losing the companionship of the animal is hard. This year his mantra was, "I will not get attached," he said, but as show time approached that became harder to do.
"Like when I shave her," he said. "She trusts me so completely."
The auction also becomes a chance to settle up accounts. Hosley bought Hamletta with an $850 no-interest loan from Grange Credit Union and will pay it back with money earned during Friday's auction. Hamletta did not place this year for showmanship, but sold for $6 per pound ($1,416) to John Parker. After subtracting the cost of the loan, Hosley plans to save the remaining $566 for college. In 2013, he netted $400, in 2012 just $200.
In addition to learning about livestock, the Future Farmers of America program teaches young, aspiring farmers public speaking and debate. Sharp said the most important thing he has learned from raising his hogs is the confidence to go out and speak to people in the community, making connections he may later call upon as an adult.
"I wasn't very social before the program," said Sharp, who also is 2013-2014 president of Santa Rosa High's FFA program. "Now I've become a real outgoing guy." He said he can now speak with ease to anyone. "It doesn't matter who they are, so long as I'm myself and say what I want and mean what I say."

The Bioshock movie can't seem to catch a break. First, director Gore Verbinksi bailed because no one would support his R-rated version of Rapture. 28 Weeks Later Director Juan Carlos stepped in, but now he's abandoned the flooding city, too. The future of this movie is certainly looking bleak as it struggles to find a budget, and that's depressing news considering Bioshock is one of the most impressive modern franchises and crafted a eerily beautiful world to explore. So while we patiently wait for any good news regarding a big screen adaptation (I still want a comic!), one group decided to take matters into their own hands and create a fan film. Once you're done watching, share your thoughts on who you'd want to direct the adaptation. Enjoy.

Agriculture…Imagine What You Can Do
Pierre Sleiman is being honored as a Future of American Agriculture Champion of Change.
As a little boy, I was always fascinated with science and technology, often preferring to play with wires and circuits rather than other toys. When I was about 15 years old, I discovered an old study on hydroponics (growing plants in water instead of soil) in my dad's office that had been abandoned. My imagination went wild. What happens when farming goes high-tech? Imagine what you can do…
Today, I am a farmer. However, four years ago neither I nor anyone in my family lineage was a farmer. My undergraduate degree is in computer science and my master's degree is in business. During a business class in college, we were studying how high-tech companies are decentralizing. Again, agriculture came to mind. Most agricultural production in America is concentrated in relatively small regions and then trucked across the country. What is holding us back from putting small local farms in every city? What are the challenges that can be turned into opportunities? And thus, Go Green Agriculture was born.
As I learned more about agriculture, I quickly realized that farmers today are facing big challenges in supplying a rapidly growing population. Challenges including weather, diminishing arable farmland, pests, disease, food security, and, of course, limited water and other natural resources. Some other statistics also impacted me; for example, the average age of farmers has been rising over the past decades. Today the average farmer is in their late 50s. This tells me that there are few new farmers entering the industry. Let's face it; the average kid doesn't think farming is a "cool" profession.
As a person who loves science, technology, engineering and math, I have discovered that farming is the new frontier of untapped potential in these fields. Chemistry, biology, robotics, automation, engineering and computer science are only a few fields that are deeply applicable. From growing food for astronauts in space, producing biofuels that power cars and aircraft, discovering new medical uses for plants, to designing highly productive urban farms in the middle of big cities…the opportunities for creative thinking and innovation are limitless.
The only way to truly exploit the incredible potential of agriculture is to get our youth excited about it. We do not just want agronomy and horticulture college majors to become farmers. We need chemists, engineers, computer scientists, biologists, and more. Interdisciplinary collaboration between diverse groups of people will invigorate creative thinking to produce solutions to challenges that could otherwise not be solved by looking at a problem from just one perspective. The more diversified the better. I am living proof that a computer scientist can become a successful farmer.
Within Go Green Agriculture, we encourage diversity, creative thinking, and ideas from every employee. Externally, I teach and inspire youth, in all fields of study, about the exciting opportunities for creativity and innovation in agriculture. Imagine what you could do…
Pierre Sleiman is the founder and CEO of Go Green Agriculture, an innovative company that grows produce inside high-tech greenhouses using hydroponics. Go Green's mission is to setup greenhouses across the country to provide local jobs and fresh, delicious, and nutritious produce to the community.
