Virtual Quilts?
I am a quilter who uses a computer program to design way more quilts than I could ever make in several lifetimes.
The quilts featured on this site have never been made. No stash has been harmed in the process.
This site is a chance to show the un-used and un-seen designs to others, and occasionally share designs by making some EQ6 project files available by email on request.
Please note that my only association with the Electric Quilt Company is as a very satisfied customer.
I prefer to be in a tag free zone and award free area. I am just happy to know you came for a look.

British actor Henry Cavill is already at work on the new Superman reboot, "Man of Steel," but he took a quick break on Saturday at Comic-Con in San Diego, showing off a new look as he promoted his upcoming Greek gods and heroes drama, "Immortals."
"Your hair's a little darker," Access Hollywood pointed out, noticing his Clark Kent-looking black-haired sheen, when Henry hit the "Immortals" press line.
"It is, yeah. Can't imagine why," the actor said with a sly smile.
While he was under orders to keep "Superman" related news to a minimum, Henry said working on the 2013-due project, directed by Zack Snyder, has been a dream come true.
"It's fantastic. That's all I can…" Henry trailed off. "It's one of the best scripts I've ever read."
Henry confirmed filming has begun in Chicago.
"It's going really well," he noted.
"Are they putting you through the paces?" Access asked.
"Yeah," he said, pausing for a moment. "No more than we can imagine anyone's been put through their paces on any job."
In fact, Henry may have had a harder time on the set of Relativity's "Immortals," where director Tarsem Singh cast him as a brawny and utterly ripped Theseus, battling the evil King Hyperion (Mickey Rourke), with a little help from a younger Zeus (Luke Evans), priestess (and love interest) Phaedra (Freida Pinto), and slave Stavros (Stephen Dorff).
"Tarsem said after the first meeting, 'I don't want a six pack, I want an eight pack,'" Henry explained of his extremely muscular movie figure, photos of which recently surfaced. "That was the brief, so, I went for it."
Henry admitted getting the Theseus body left him hungry on set, but he couldn't pass up the opportunity to take on this fictional story, created by Tarsem, who changed around some of the characters in Greek mythology.
"The idea of playing a sword-wielding hero has always attracted [me]," Henry said. "It's a great idea."
In "Immortals," which opens November 11, Henry's Theseus is a hero and, of course, Superman is a hero too, so what draws him to those types of characters?
"It's just everything you dream of as a little boy to be that hero," Henry explained. "I mean, I'm sure there's some little boys that dream of being villains, but it's fun to be the hero because you get to win! Yeah, just that! It's escapism, it's fun, it's fantasy, it's story telling."

Lords debates illustrate objections to gay equality 17
12:45 PM — The Prime Minister's decision to allow Labour MPs a free vote on three clauses of the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Bill has surprised many Westminster watchers.The issues surrounding so-called 'saviour siblings,' human-animal embryos and the requirement for doctors to consider 'the need for a father' when deciding on whether to agree to carry out fertilisation or fertility treatments were all discussed at length in the Lords.Those debates should give us a flavour of the debate in the Commons, which is not expected until after the local council elections in May.
Downing St explains why MPs are getting a free vote 17
12:30 PM — Gordon Brown is "following the precedent set in 1990 with the original Human Fertilisation and Embryology Bill" in allowing his MPs a free vote on measures that ensure gay equality.Roman Catholic Labour MPs are expected to challenge the removal of a requirement for doctors to "consider the need for a father" when deciding to consent to IVF or assisted conception treatments.The bill proposed to replace that with a need for "supportive parenting."
How will the embryology bill help gay and lesbian parents? 17
12:30 PM — The Prime Minister's announcement that Labour MPs will be allowed a free vote on legislation designed to ensure equal treatment for gay and lesbian people has dismayed gay rights groups and angered many in his own party.The Human Fertilisation and Embryology Bill currently before Parliament aims to make it easier for lesbian couples to access NHS fertilisation services and ensure that a lesbian or gay couple can become the legal parents of their children.Tory MPs will be given a free vote on the bill.
Stonewall "disappointed" over free vote on gay equality 17
11:40 AM — Gay equality organisation Stonewall has criticised the Prime Minister's decision to give Labour MPs a free vote on provisions in the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Bill that aim to give gay and lesbian people equal access to NHS fertility and assisted conception services.The bill, currently before Parliament, would replace the current need for doctors to consider the need for a father when decided whether or not to provide such treatments with the need for supportive parenting.
NY gay couple demand meeting with Polish leader 19

A&M commit Collins improving in silence
July, 10, 2013
By Damon Sayles | ESPN Insider
ESPN 300 cornerback Cedric Collins (Dallas/Skyline) has been out of the spotlight in previous months. On purpose.
Collins committed to Texas A&M almost 11 months ago. The four-star cornerback has put his focus more on working to improve and less on being in the news. He's up early every morning putting in hours on the track, in the weight room and on the football field. Agility drills are commonplace with every workout.

Primary immunodeficiencies (PIDs) are severe defects in the capacity of the host to mount a proper immune response, and are characterized by an increased susceptibility to infections. Although classical immunodeficiencies have been characterized based on broad defects in cell populations (e.g. T/B cells or polymorphonuclear leukocytes) or humoral factors (e.g. antibodies or complement), specific immune defects based on well-defined molecular targets have been described more recently. Among these, genetic defects in pattern recognition receptors (PRRs), leading to impaired recognition of invading pathogens by the innate immune system, play an important role in specific defects against human pathogens. Defects have been described in three of the major families of PRRs: the Toll-like receptors, the C-type lectin receptors and the nucleotide-binding domain leucine-rich repeat-containing receptors. By contrast, no defects in the intracellular viral receptors of the RigI helicase family have been described to date. Defects in the PRRs show a broad variation in severity, have a narrow specificity for certain classes of pathogens, and often decrease in severity with age; these characteristics distinguish them from other forms of PIDs. Their discovery has led to important insights into the pathophysiology of infections, and may offer potential novel therapeutic targets for immunotherapy.

Biotech from Nice to Marseille
We received a presentation on the Luminy campus and biotech incubator from Managing Director Florent Boyer followed by presentations by several of the biotech companies within the facility followed by lunch discussions with more of the companies, including Qiagen Marseille, Modul Bio and Innate Pharma.
Business opportunity discussions continued this afternoon with a group meeting at the Provence Promotion offices and a presentation by Didier Noël, managing director of licensing & startups at SATT Sud Est, a tech transfer speed-up company that serves as a private tech transfer operation for public research facilities. The concept captured our attention, given some of the challenges we've faced on this front in California.
A second presentation on the EU regulatory system for medical devices vs that in the US by Vincent Castéras, Managing Director & Cofounder of Nexialist left us with the advice that both systems have advantages and disadvantages that should be evaluated during the development of an early regulatory strategy when looking at each system as an opportunity.
We completed the day with more partnering meetings with companies here, creating more potential for new linkages between our two regions, and were then hosted at a final reception hosted by Provence Promotion Managing Director Robert Maury. It has been an eye-opening trip here to Marseille and the Cote d'Azur, a region that I believe we will be working with much more closely in the future due to the strength of its research and development, the incentives that are offered and the warmth of the people here.

Fuji's new eco-friendly, long-lasting, guilt-free EnviroMAX batteries
By Mike Hanlon
January 5, 2009
Despite promises of portable alternative power sources, batteries still rule the roost and apart from being a costly form of energy, we all know that we're contributing a little bit more to the planet's indigestible waste with each one we purchase – until now! Fuji is announcing a new line of eco-friendly, high performance consumer batteries at CES. EnviroMAX batteries do not contain cadmium or mercury or any ingredients harmful to the environment, are packaged with recycled paper and fully recyclable PET plastic and can be disposed of through normal waste systems or in landfills as they degrade. Fuji is claiming equal or better performance/longevity to the major equivalent brands, and an affordable price. They're due in stores in April.

Looking for great Pool builders Bellaire Tx
I've been browsing through this forums for a while, and I appreciate everybody's input, since I'm learning quite a bit.
I am new to pool construction, we are getting ready to build our first one, and there seem to be so many options. We already have a bid for a pool (I'm posting the specs below), but the guy that was overseeing our project and design, suddenly left the company and I'm on the fence on continuing with them, so if possible I would love if someone can take a look at their bid and see if I'm on the right path or please recommend a reputable company that builds pools in Bellaire (we are known to have a very strict construction code in our city) so would love someone that has worked in this area before. It would be a plus if the same company can take care of building a bigger patio roof and deck and a small outdoor sitting area.
Here is what we have so far:
Custom Pool shape
Perimeter: 95LF
Pool area: 478 sq ft
depth 3.5 - 5.5 ft
Aprox 13,450 gallons
Custom Spa
40 sq. ft Spa
12" Raised
Pool structure: Beam to be a 12" box
Pool walls minimum 6"
Pool floors minimum 6"
Coves minimum 8"
Deck dowels to connect pool to decking
(Here is where I really need help since I don't know the quality of the equipment)
430 Cartridge with Spa
2.0 HP Pump with Spa
Pump: None
Pool cleaner: Tiger Shark QC
Pool sanitizer: Rainbow 320 Chlorinator and Ozone Joe Ozonator
Heater: Hayward 400.000 BTU Heater
Pool lights: 1 Hayward LED Light(s)
Air Blower: 1.5 HP Polaris QT Blower
We would like to be able to use the least amount of chemicals within budget in the pool, since one of my kids is really sensitive to chlorine.
Their warranty is 3 year on equipment, lifetime structural and only 1 year on workmanship! - is that standard?
Cost: about $50,000 (for us this is a HUGE investment)
Thanks on advance for your input, it is appreciated.
Everything looks pretty good to me except for the pump. With your added information of the raised wall and 3 sheer descents, I would strongly recommend a variable speed pump and depending on what Hayward makes perhaps also a second pump. I use Pentair, which has a 3 HP, variable speed pump that would power everything you have and save you a small fortune on electricity bills. The price you have been quoted for everything you are getting and having to deal with the city of Bellaire requirements is fair, in my opinion.

(Reuters) - A suspect who sparked a massive arson fire last year that gutted a multi-story apartment complex under construction in Los Angeles was captured on surveillance tape reviewed by authorities, the Los Angeles Times reported on Monday. The video showed the suspect parking a car on the 110 Freeway before walking into the building with "cans of fuel," the paper said, based on a recording of a community meeting last week addressed by Los Angeles Fire Department Battalion Chief Steve Ruda. Fire department representatives could not be immediately reached for comment.

With a useful load is the real trick to electric anything.
Sure you can have an electric car today. Try loading up 2-3 of your friends, luggage for 4-5 days, to go anywhere?
The few cars that might get 200 mile range are suddenly cut down to 75.
Electric will come when two things happen. Better energy storage, and people get over nuclear power fears. With out nuclear power generation electric cars are worthless. Solar, wind hydro, geothermal, tidal, won't produce enough power to cover current needs, let alone tripling it by 30% of the population using electric cars.

With Tom Hanks getting good reviews for his portrayal of a ship captain taken over by Somali pirates, it might be a good time to note that there could be a future Hollywood script being written right now in the Russian port city of Murmansk.
Originally published on Tue September 17, 2013 12:43 pm
There's news this week that shipbuilder STX Finland will close what it describes as "the world's leading ferry builder," a yard where the company also built small cruise ships, icebreakers and naval craft.
The company blamed economic conditions for the closure of the Rauma Shipyard. Work from there will be shifted to the company's facility in Turku. About 700 people will lose their jobs.
Connecticut is celebrating its maritime heritage this weekend with the Schooner Festival in New London. The brand-new event hopes to attract thousands of people from around the region, and provide a showcase for local companies.
The Fishers Island Ferry prepares to sail from its terminal in New London. She'll have some company today, as 20 schooners, sturdy, sleek and fast sailing vessels with a long history in Connecticut, arrive in the Thames River.
The executive director of Amistad America Inc., a New Haven-based non-profit, asserts that all money it has received from the state has been used appropriately. Amistad America owns and operates the Freedom Schooner Amistad, and recently lost its non-profit status after falling behind in filing federal tax returns.
Yesterday, Mystic Seaport celebrated another major milestone in its effort to restore the only wooden whaling ship left in the world.
On Sunday, the crowd overflowed from Mystic Seaport's shipyard, to boats spread across the river, and any piece of shoreline with a view.
White- "Ladies and gentlemen,"
That's Seaport President Steve White.
White- "Welcome to the launching of the Charles W. Morgan on her 172nd anniversary. Welcome!"
A significant milestone was reached in the restoration of the Charles W. Morgan- Mystic Seaport's 172 year old wooden whaling ship.
Mystic Seaport president Steve White addressed over 200 people gathered beside the giant wooden hull of the Charles W. Morgan.
White- "...the last surviving whaling ship on the face of the of the earth, and the oldest commercial ship afloat in the western hemisphere..."
A significant milestone was reached Friday in the restoration of the Charles W. Morgan- Mystic Seaport's 172 year old wooden whaling ship.
Mystic Seaport president Steve White addressed over two hundred people gathered beside the giant wooden hull of the Charles W. Morgan.
When Hurricane Sandy blew across the Northeast it caused devastating damage to the boating industry. The losses could amount to more than half a billion dollars. And as WNPR's J Holt reports, Connecticut's marine industry is still feeling the effects four months later.
Dr. Robert Ballard is probably the world's most famous explorer - in part because of his Titanic discovery - in part because of his tireless mission to uncover secrets of the deep.
Before we get started on ferries, let me make a few things clear.
Connecticut's marine industry is one of many facing tax increases in governor Malloy's proposed budget. But those in the industry say the changes could have unintended consequences.
Early April is a quiet time for boating here in Connecticut. Most pleasure boats are still tucked under winter covers, but for Connecticut boatyards this is just as important a time of year as any other.
At pilot's point marina in Westbrook, Rives Potts is inspecting a 46 foot sailboat that his yard has been rebuilding in one of their sheds.
The state Department of Environmental Protection is training volunteers to educate boaters about invasive species on Candlewood Lake. Last fall the invasive zebra mussel was found in Lakes Zoar and Lillinonah. The mussel can be carried in boats from one lake to another. Eleanor Mariani of the D.E.P. says the volunteers will ask boaters to make sure they've cleaned their vessels if they've been in a lake that contains the mussel.

Padgett dislikes the concept of infinity, because he sees every shape as a finite construction of smaller and smaller units that approach what physicists refer to as the Planck length, thought to be the shortest measurable length.
So, the bang on the head didn't help him improve his abstract thinking after all. How can someone be an "aspiring number theorist" and dislike the concept of infinity? That's like being an aspiring blacksmith and disliking the concept of tempering carbon steel.
Practically, the end of Pi is around 760-some digits [wikipedia.org], where you start to sound like Herman Cain [youtube.com]. At that point, diameters won't be more than a Planck length off.
If you're using it for the geometry of the physical world, then you'd be correct. Fortunately however, Pi is used for far more than measuring the physical world.
You mean other than going from a party boy furniture salesman to a student of mathematics specializing in number theory?
Savantism doesn't mean an ability practically nobody else has (though it can be that), it is an ability that is out of context for the person who has it.

Discovered this inviting spot on a trip to Lincoln last year while visiting Nebraska Wesleyan University--it's less than 5 minutes away. The breakfasts were fantastic. I especially recommend the biscuit combo [biscuit covered with sausage gravy, served with eggs, potatoes and toast]. Four of us had full breakfasts and bottomless beverages [coffee, diet Coke and hot chocolate] all for the incrediby reasonable price of $30. Service is very friendly. Even though there is almost always a line, the tables turn pretty quickly.

1994 Nissan Altima GXE 4dr Sedan
Purchased used in 2000 with 90k miles....traveled all over the western states, replaced clutch at about 150 K.
At 230 K plus... my family and I survived a
near head-on highway accident.
The car is totaled but we all survived.
We will buy another Nissan Altima.
I am sure the car would have gone another 100 to 200 K for sure.
This was our experience...can't speak for the rest.
The only continuing issue was a small electrical issue....grounding kept blowing front head lamps every 6 months...mechanic could not find the troubled spot and bulb replacement was always cheaper.
Once the radio antenna snapped of...finding a replacement was difficult...regular maintenance was the key.

227K still runs strong.
Bought back in 1994 runs just as strong today as it did 17 years ago.
Original clutch and just changed original brake rotors last week.
Best car I have ever had.
Timing chain is getting a little noisy and has a oil leak, but does not drip on the garage floor so its fine.

We have two GXEs which were purchased new a month apart in 1993. Both have 193,000 plus miles. Although several parts have been repaired/replaced (e.g. CV joints, climate control system, A/C condenser, knock sensor, head gasket, engine oil leak (common occurrence) blower motor, both vehicles have serviced us VERY well and have been maintained likewise. We hope to drive the cars until... These Altimas have exceeded our expectations. Regrettably, the newer models are engineered to make the consumer more dealer-dependent for maintenance and repair. People are EXTREMELY surprised at the age of the vehicles (nearly 16 years) because they have retained their new- car appearance.

I purchased my Altima new. It has unbelievable mileage on it and I can say this: 861.00 dollars in repairs have been done to this vehicle. Talk about one very dependable vehicle that still has no rust, never garage kept, and is still in awesome shape. Would not hesitate to drive it to California and back. Thanks Nissan for making the best car money can buy. Awesome job well done.

I bought this car a few hours before going on a road trip without knowing much about Nissans. The major defects with this vehicle are expected for a car with 150,000 miles and for its age of 11 at the time. It had been very worthy from getting me from point A to point B.

I bought the car with 123,000 miles on it and it had some rust around the back doors and a few days later the headlight burnt out and it burnt out the wiring and all that and the air bag sensor ship went out, but other than that the sunroof/ moonroof is great. I think the car is very dependable and fun to drive, it gets great gas mileage and it's very easy to take care of. I would highly recommend a 94 altima and i think as long as you take care of it the car will take care of you.

Gas, oil, tires and brake pads are all this car has ever needed. For twelve years this car has been the most reliable, comfortable, and fun car to drive ever.

My dad got this 1994 Nissan Altima for me when I was 16. That was 7 years ago. Since then, I haven't had too many problems with it, and the ones that I had weren't that expensive. Spark plugs, water pump, catalytic converter to get it to pass emmissions, but that's it. Good ride, good gas mileage, nice interior. I would strongly suggest this car.

Have 145,000 miles now, still getting at least 28 mpg at best 32 mpg. Brake rotors finally gave out at 143,500. No major problems or concerns ever! Still flies through emissions tests every year. Not looking to get new yet, but will go Nissan again, and again...

Questions about LemonLime
Hi folks, I bought this bulb a couple months ago, already planted in a 6" pot with a budding flower stalk. After the first stalk flowered, I was expecting to see leaves, but instead got another flower stalk, which is just about done. Still no leaves showing. I am very impressed with this plant, since the bulb is considerably smaller than the giant ones I've grown before. Is this variety slow to put up leaves, or is there something I could do to encourage it? I am very interested in keeping this plant around!
Well, I can't be of much help... my only Lemon Lime put out leaves and no flowers! It is a bulb that I got either last year or the year before, as I recall it was a bonus or freebie and it was quite small... so, my guess is that it had previously bloomed and/or was the "runt" in a box of bulbs. -Tina
Lemon Lime is the most amazing hippi I have. Nothing seems to bother it, it reproduces like a rabbit and the offsets seem to flower quickly. I have given many away and yet I not only have a garden of flowers from it in the Spring, but it seems one is in bloom throughout the year. People I have given bulbs to have told me that they get at least two flowerings a year from bulbs. What is also nice about Lemon Lime is that it is fairly compact - medium size bulb and leaves. I love the variation in the color. It opens yellow but, it seems to me, the more sun the more the pink shows through in a few days.
Anyway, this is a strong cultivar, so don't worry, leaves will come and I will be very surprised if it doesn't prosper and give you lots of beautiful flowers.
jstropic, thanks for your words of encouragement, and especially thanks for that gorgeous photo!
So when the second stalk finishes flowering, I should cut it off above the bulb, and then - wait for leaves? Would it jog it into action to repot? (It's in a pot barely larger than itself, I would like to put it into a larger one.)
If it is done flowering, I would take it out of the pot and look at the roots. If you have good roots, then feel free to pot it up. If you don't have good roots (or no roots) then clean up the basal plate and take off any dead roots and keep it in the smaller pot until you get roots. Usually leaves are a good sign of a growing root system. When I repot, I use a bagged potting mix then add sand and pine fines which works well in my climate - sand helps drainage and gives weight to the pot.
Also, I don't cut the scape after it has flowered, I let it dry up then take it off - but that is just my preference.
I don't know if rooting hormone would help - I have never used it on the hippis. The most important thing for me when there are no roots is to keep them fairly dry which seems to trigger rooting (if the temperature is high enough). If the temps are still low, keeping it dry will help prevent rot.
OK, still no leaves on my Lemon Lime. I repotted it into a slightly larger pot, and set it so that it is nearly half above the soil line (originally the soil line was just below the neck).
The bulb was firm like an onion, no mushy spots. Several large white roots. The basal plate looked OK to me, but I definitely don't have any experience with hippeastrum diagnostics.
In the picture below, the lens cap is 2" diameter. I'll post a second picture showing the basal plate.
Yup, I agree with the above posters, your bulb is just fine. Nice roots and good advice to remove all those loose layers of dead skin. Some of these bulbs can drive you mad waiting for them to send up a leaf when all they're doing is concentrating of their roots.

Phoenix Suns
'Basketball play' costs Phoenix Suns' Markieff Morris season opener
PHOENIX, Ariz. -- Phoenix Suns forward Markieff Morris admits he and his brother have done it before: They've swapped uniforms in a game.
"We did it before in AAU ball," he said. "Mook (Marcus) had hurt his ankle. I had fouled out and took (my brother's jersey) and played for him. I gave (the crowd and officials) a little limp back in like I was hurting but kept playing."
That may have worked back in the day when the Morris twins were teenagers, but now in an NBA game?
"I think they might know," Morris said. "I'm not as skilled as Mook is."
Morris also is an inch taller and 10 pounds heavier than his brother is, so that likely rules out any switcheroo strategy for Wednesday.
Like many fans, Markieff will have to follow the Suns' season opener against Portland from home. Suspended players are not allowed in the arena on game day, leaving the Suns starting power forward to "just watch the game, screaming at the TV like I was watching Mook when he was in Houston."
Morris received a one-game suspension without pay for a right elbow to the face of Oklahoma City's Serge Ibaka in last Tuesday's preseason game.
"It happens," Morris said. "Bad judgment on my behalf; just got to take the consequences."
The play in question happened midway through the third quarter as Morris was attempting to box out Ibaka on a free throw attempt.
"I tried to box out hard. Caught him with an elbow. Like I said, it happens. I'll try not to let it happen again," he said.
When asked if the elbow may have been intentional, especially after the two had been going at it for most of the game, Morris paused briefly before responding.
"Basketball play. Against those guys it's always an intense, physical game. Like I said, basketball play. It happens. It's a part of the game," he said. "I'm a physical guy, tough guy. It happens."
Morris played all 82 games last season, but his suspension for the season opener effectively ends his consecutive games streak at 96.
Entering his third year, Morris has promised to play more physical. The promise remains, despite last week's incident.
"It was a basketball play," he said. "It's not going to change the way I'm playing. It was a mistake. Mistakes happen. I'm going to stay playing physical, stay playing tough."

Emmys: 'Walking Dead's' Glen Mazzara on Killing a Beloved Character
The former showrunner talks with THR about going dialogue-free in the season-three premiere and making challenging decisions.
While season three of AMC's monster hit The Walking Dead started silently, it ended with a literal bang, culminating with the death of a beloved character in both the TV and comic series on which it's based.
Opening the year with a time jump and skipping over winter after Rick's (Andrew Lincoln) group was displaced from Hershel's farm, Glen Mazzara set out to do something different in the first minutes of the season. The first five minutes of the zombie drama's return was free of dialogue -- a scene the now former showrunner had been kicking around for some time.
Part of the decision, he tells The Hollywood Reporter, was partially to silence those who said the survivors spent too much time chatting and to show just how much the group had bonded in the time that had passed.
The season finale, meanwhile, featured a death so surprising it left diehard fans of Robert Kirkman's comic series stunned after Laurie Holden's Andrea -- a character now romantically linked to the series hero, Rick Grimes -- was forced to end her life or risk transitioning to the undead.
Here, Mazzara breaks his silence on the bloody season finale and shares his thoughts on the tricky silent opening and just why Andrea had to die.
PHOTOS: 'The Walking Dead's' Most Shocking Deaths
The Hollywood Reporter: You're submitting the season-three premiere "Seed" for Emmy consideration. What was your toughest scene to write from that?
Glen Mazzara: What I love about "Seed" was it was so much fun to write. There was a lot of joy in that script. I was really excited about the season. We never really use the word "reboot," but we wanted to advance the characters, and I wanted to show some development of those characters because I knew we were skipping the winter [between seasons] and had to show emotional growth. One of toughest scenes to write was the five-minute opening sequence. The concept was that our group has evolved into a well-oiled machine -- a strike force, if you will -- and they are picking up each other's cues like cops busting in on a drug raid. To do without dialogue, and to do it all through movement and body language, was fun and challenging but tricky. We had to make sure everybody had something particular and special for their characters -- everybody had a role -- that they weren't necessarily interchangeable. Everybody had a function on that team and that Rick was driving all of it. We also had to show that Carl (Chandler Riggs) had advanced. What was the relationship between Rick and Lori (Sarah Wayne Callies)? I wanted to push Daryl (Norman Reedus) front and center and have him as a strong No. 2 for Rick, yet we also wanted to show tension between the characters without making anybody unlikable. With any season premiere, you hope that new audience is going to show up. And for the audience to learn who all these characters are and what their relationships are without any expositional dialogue was tricky. Director Ernest Dickerson shot it in little pieces over a day or two. Fortunately, with the season premiere, you have extra time for prep and everyone's refreshed from hiatus.
THR: What was your writing process for that dialogue-free opening?
Mazzara: That was some of the most fun I've ever had writing in my entire career. I carried that scene around in my head for a long time and then sat down and wrote it out by hand in a spiral notebook. It's pretty much what I wrote initially. It just felt right to me and really landed because it was about characters. I also wanted to throw somebody a surprise. We didn't talk about doing it wordlessly when I was talking to the network or to other producers. When I wrote it out, I felt like I didn't need any words to tell this story. One of the things I wanted to do in season three was really push the filmmaking. We'd been doing that, and I really wanted to tell the story in a visual way and not have any dialogue. Plus we'd been getting hazed a bit about our characters talking too much, so I wanted to push the opening scene without any of the characters saying a word.
THR: Looking at season three as a whole, you've killed off a few major characters -- including one who's still alive and kicking in the comics. What was the decision like to kill Andrea?
Mazzara: They're all difficult decisions. I thought it was important that we always show that no one is safe. It's also important to show the effect that these deaths have on our other characters. Andrea's death, for example, I knew Rick was going to finally open up the gates of the prison after a season in which he's trying to hide away from the world and lock everybody away and keep them safe. He realizes what that means -- that our group is now becoming isolated and will be picked off, that his own son is on the road to becoming the Governor (David Morrissey), so he has to open up the gates and let other people in and be compassionate. At the end of the finale, he brings in these women, children and elderly people and the group is going to transform. There needed to be a blood sacrifice for that, and there had to be a price that was paid. Andrea paying that price was important. She is unable to re-enter the group. In a way, a lot of what she did was bring the two groups together. But she's never able to enter the prison and be reunited in a full way with Rick's group. That was an ultimate sacrifice that was worthy of the season finale.
PHOTOS: The 'Dead' and the Red: 'The Walking Dead Cast in Character and on the Red Carpet
THR: When did you know Andrea would pay the ultimate price?
Mazzara: It developed throughout the season. I always knew that Rick opening the gates and letting people in was always a plan. The idea of Andrea's death emerged halfway through the season.
THR: What kind of feedback have you gotten about killing Andrea?
Mazzara: I've heard a lot of positive feedback, with a lot of fans thinking it was a great finale. Let's not forget it was a top show on cable and obviously a lot of people showed up. Most people found it was satisfying. There's a very vocal group saying that they're dissatisfied with Andrea's death, which shows that her death meant something; it affected people emotionally. I don't give people credence if after running the show for 29 out of 35 episodes people are surprised that I deviated from the comic book. I've never once said I was sticking to the comic book. The show has never struck closely to the comic. In episode 35, if we have a surprising death, it's in line with everything I've always delivered.
THR: What advice do you have for new showrunner Scott Gimple?
Mazzara: I'd tell him to write what he believes in.
