AMC works to preserve OIB capabilities through cooperative arrangements with industry and others By Mr. Mark L. Morrison Among the challenges faced by the Army's organic industrial base (OIB), as it transitions from combat to sustainment, is allocating diminishing workload within the depots and arsenals of the U.S. Army Materiel Command (AMC). Capitalizing on private-sector capabilities through public-private partnerships (P3), such as work share, teaming, direct sales, facility use and leasing, is one key way to preserve the OIB's unique capabilities while ensuring its viability as an enterprise in the near term and its long-term ability to meet surge requirements. To support the warfighter during the past 12 […]

I am a boat builder and chef, I was born here in park city, went to the university of Utah and Utah state. I have built many cabins here in tollgate and love building very unique artistic cabins. My passion is cooking and boat building, my boats are up to 70' and are located all over the US and Canada. Thanks for looking at my cabin
Greg pack purchased this cabin in 2012
You won't find a cabin like this anywhere
The house is beautiful! A little farther from Park City than I expected, but I always enjoy being out in the woods. The cabin is nice and secluded. You will want to have 4-wheel drive to get there. I could see it being difficult to get in or out after a half descent snow storm.
The house was really cool and fun to hang out in. Great outdoor private hot tub. Greg was always really nice, relaxed, and accommodating.
I highly recommend checking this place out!
This beautiful cabin is located in Tollgate Canyon only 7 miles from downtown Park City. Park city has 3 world class ski areas and a great tubing park. Multiple golf courses and 3 large lakes are within minutes of this cabin. Of course there is hiking, walking, snowshoeing, cross country skiing right from the front door. Bring your 4wheelers or snowmobiles and you can ride hundreds and hundreds of miles.
Winter: of course there are hundreds of great restaurants within 10 to 15 min away from cabin. A few of my favorite thing in town are ski and snow boarding at any of the resorts, horse drawn sleigh rides with dinner at the Snowed Inn Sleigh Company (A must do), snowmobiling at White Pine Adventures, cross country skiing at the cabin or white pine adventures
Summer: still the same restaurants. Summer is wonderful up here at the cabin with hiking, biking, walks and coffee on the deck. There are many boating lakes within 30 minutes or so with great fishing, tubing or water skiing. The Provo river, about an hr away has world class fly fishing and white water rafting, go another 15 minutes and you arrive at Robert Redford's Sundance Resort. Sundance is open year round for mt biking, hiking and the best brunch around, take the Alpine Loop for the most beautiful drive around.

From the chest down, Ernie Defort, 12, of Winnipeg was two boys. Ever since he was born, Ernie had carried around a repulsive parasitic growth on his lower chest.* It consisted of two extra arms, an extra abdomen, an extra pelvis, two extra legs, an extra liver. Ernie used to have an extra pair of kidneys, but they were removed when he was two years old.
The parasite was actually Ernie's imperfect twin, the result of incomplete division of embryonic cells before Ernie was born. Imperfect twinning sometimes results in scarcely noticeable effects (a baby may be born with a small tumor...

China has a lot of drop dead gorgeous women but none of these awesome looking girls make it to the contests due to corruption. The very beautiful girls come from normal family's but they compete in local China pageants with girls from extremely rich families and are usually not so pretty but because their dad has billions and wants to have his girl win - the judges get paid off to let the ugly Chinese girls win the local pageants. This is also a very big problem in Taiwan.
This years Miss China is dog butt ugly compared to the real beautiful women you see in China. Sad.
MIss China was w/o any doubt the most beautiful girl of those last 5 standing there Saturday nite in Sao Paolo. She is absolutely stunning, and even her answer earlier, about the nude beaches, Ok she gave a Chinese style response, but she was very charming. Even by asian standards her eyes are spectacular. The only downside, like many of these girls, they are almost too tall, but rarely do you see women that stunning, Its very very uncommon.
Lorne Smith you must be a gay.
lorne smith
dog butt ugly huh? well.....she is not as ugly as your wife! lol!!!!!!
Miss China is in the top 5 contestats.
Sometimes it's better not to be the winner, who is under contract to perform Miss Universe duties for one year.
The runner-ups can pursue better opportunities without constraints.
I wonder how many people face-palmed when they heard her answer to that question.
Given her height, Miss China may find her man in U.S.
I agree with Lorne Smith in his statement that China has so many Gorgeous women, and that although the representative from China was truly beautiful, there are girls here in Los Angeles, studing at USC, UCLA that make her look ordinary. Korean, and Vietnamese are also extremely beautiful. and are usually not represented in the shows for the same reason.
Lorne and whoever, the good looking asian chicks in america were probably born on asia a brought up in america. A lot of american asians don't really sell because a lot have been brought up in a manufactured society, thus they look fake. Lou zilin is your real deal. You're probably jealous because in order for you to talk to any woman, you have to give them your credit card number. :/
Low pay, heavy workloads and lack of respect are prompting China's judges to flee the bench.
As Japanese leader Shinzo Abe visits the U.S., many in Congress are either unfamiliar with Japan's historical amnesia or happy to gloss over it themselves. That's bad for U.S. interests.
In 1966, Chinese leader Mao Zedong insisted to university students that "it's right to rebel." Half a century later, an increasing number of the country's civil servants seem to be of the opinion that it's right to resign.
An unusual and highly publicized visit to northeastern China by Premier Li Keqiang is a signal that economic anxieties have started to occupy a more central place in the party's thinking about reform.
A contradiction between harsh, extralegal treatment of political dissent and a vigorous effort to improve the credibility of the courts increasingly has come to define China's legal climate under the leadership of President Xi Jinping.

Top 9 Healthiest Cooking Oils
The right cooking oil is good for your heart, brain, and metabolism and can even help you absorb more nutrients from food. While stocking up on olive oil is a great first step, it's also important to familiarize yourself with other types of oil – for flavor and health. Pay attention to the fat content, and look for an oil that won't smoke when you're cooking on high heat in a wok or frying pan. Then you can turn your attention to the various flavors that oils add to dishes. We asked Dr. Don Hensrud, a nutrition specialist with the Mayo Clinic, to walk us through the flavor, smoke point, and health benefits of a number of oils. Here are nine of the healthiest oils you can buy – and when to use them.

I've been immersed in all things mushroom for the past few days. I did not think it was at all possible to spend that much time, eating, collecting, and identifying mushrooms, and then I discovered the quantity of mushrooms that grow in the state of Washington, and some very enthusiastic folks, and then I dawned on me that it is totally possible to get sick of talking about mushrooms for 3 days straight. I joined the Puget Sound Mycological Society this year, being eager to learn all of the secrets behind mushroom foraging - like how NOT to get poisoned. Each weekend beginning in October, the PSMS hosts a variety of ID field trips starting way too early in the morning, so.... that quickly became unappealing. The PSMS have a very active member listserv - that I have tried a few times to filter into a folder that I never see - but it has proved to be a difficult task. I now spend a few minutes each day sorting and deleting too many mushroom emails. Basically, I joined the PSMS to learn a little, got a little terrified, and now regret my decision, but only slightly. After realizing that the enthusiastic efforts of the PSMS were not quite up my alley, I found a mushroom foraging retreat held yearly at the Meany lodge in the Wenatchee National Forest. The workshop seemed more approachable for a beginner, with plenty of food and booze involved. In my mind, I had envisioned a tranquil slightly rustic lodge in the middle of the forest, a massage therapist, gourmet meals, sipping on chardonnay in front of the fire - the works. My vision was crushed when I saw a cob web and dirty tissue tucked into in my bunk, 50 people crammed into a small lodge, and three days of Costco foods. My vision of a clean, romantic, tranquil mushroom adventure in the woods will stay a vision, and the reality that was last weekend, I will try to forget, except the mushroom foraging part, of course. That was fantastic. Despite my thinking that we were going to find a mountain of chanterelles, and all of the other delicious edible mushrooms that I am so fond of, we actually didn't come across as many edibles as I would have liked. Some boletes, russulas, and the big find - a few large matsutakes (found by Brent). Matsutakes are found growing under pine trees, buried beneath leaves and dirt, with only the top of their caps poking out. They live symbiotically with the pine trees, gaining energy in the form of sugar from the tree while in exchange, providing nutrients. Matustakes are interesting, in that they smell like a combination of pine needles, red hots, and dirty socks. Their smell is quite unique, one that lingers in your nostrils for hours. The matsutake is prized and highly sought after in the Japan for its district aroma. Domestic production of the matsutake in Japan has been greatly reduced over the years due to a pine nematode. For a good specimen, you are looking at around $2000/kg, so even though I was confused by the smell, I was eager to take it home and experiment with this little luxury (pictured above). After spending some time researching this mushroom, I discovered that most people enjoy matsutakes either grilled, seared, in gohan (a rice dish), or boiled into soup. Whichever method you choose to cook the matsutake, you want to choose a style where you can retain as much of the original flavor and aromas as possible. A soup seemed fitting for the time of year, and something approachable for me, with my relatively limited knowledge of matsutake cooking methods. I started with a simple Asian inspired broth - water, soy sauce, mirin, and sesame oil. I rubbed the mushroom with a damp paper towel to remove any dirt and pine needles. I removed the tough stem, and sliced the cap thinly, added it to the broth and simmered for 20 minutes. The aroma from the mushrooms quickly filled the air, and my nostrils became confused by these new spicy smells. For some bulk and calories, I added a small bundle of Tomoshiraga Somen noodles to the broth - a thin and delicate Japanese style wheat noodle. They cook very quickly, so adding at the last minute is appropriate. For color and crunch, I added a few baby bok choy leaves and garnished with sliced scallions. Initially, I tested the broth, noodles, and everything else but the mushrooms. I waited for Brent to get home to do the honors, because I was so terrified of being poisoned, left to die in my apartment alone - I couldn't even work up the courage to plop one into my mouth. After Brent ate a bowl full, and I waited an hour, I deemed it to be safe, and enjoyed the fruits of my labour. The taste grew on me with each bite. The texture soft and slightly rubbery, the flavor spicy and earthy. I encourage you to give them a try if you ever get the chance. A truly unique and exciting experience. MATSUTAKE MUSHROOM SOUPserves 2 notes: matsutake mushrooms are quite difficult to find, therefore substituting in a favorite mushroom of choice would be perfectly acceptable. If you are unable to get your hands on mirin, rice wine vinegar can be used instead. If is important not to place your mushrooms directly in water, as they will soak it up and loose flavors. The best method for cleaning is to rub away any dirt with a damp cloth. |

Ben Yearsley: Why I'm sold on China's compelling growth story
The Analyst
Saturday 02 April 2011
I have to admit to feeling rather sceptical of the Chinese growth story in recent times. While the long-term investment prospects remain excellent, I was unsure as to whether it had been over-hyped in the short term – and whether rapid economic growth actually means good returns for investors. A recent visit to Hong Kong with Neptune Investment Management therefore came at an opportune time to re-evaluate my views.
One of the key themes in China's latest five-year plan is to create a harmonious society. This may seem an obvious ambition, but to achieve it involves a massive shift in Chinese attitudes, beginning with wage inflation. Currently there is a huge disparity between incomes in the industrial east of China and the more rural west. The dramatic difference in living standards between the two areas has prompted officials in Beijing to dispatch trade unionists to the west to help ensure they are getting a better deal.
The result is wage inflation which, coupled with rising commodity prices, eventually translates to core inflation – or rising prices of everyday goods. For us it means higher prices for everything we import from China, but for the Chinese themselves many see wage inflation as a good thing. Increased wages should mean better standards of living and disposable income, helping rebalance the economy away from exports and construction, and towards consumer spending.
As far as consumer goods are concerned it was abundantly clear on my visit that many Chinese aspire to luxury. Watches, cars, or fine wines – you name it, if it's luxury, it's coveted. And it isn't the fake goods bought by many Westerners, the wealthy Chinese demand the genuine article. Many of the luxury brands favoured are European. Fine wines are French, watches are Swiss and cars are German. It is therefore possible to benefit from increasing consumption in China by owning good businesses based here in the West. There are many fund managers who have been taking advantage of this in recent years, and it is a trend which surely has further to run.
The property market in China is also fascinating. On one hand there are properties commanding huge rental prices in Hong Kong, and on the other you hear of numerous skyscrapers and residential blocks lying vacant on the mainland. The disparity among the property market is a worry for investors, especially if buildings are being constructed simply to keep the workforce occupied. Who is exposed to the risk these properties can't be rented out, and to what extent?
Certainly this is a concern surrounding investing in Chinese banks, which are notoriously difficult to analyse due to a lack of transparency. We do know, however, that banks are setting aside provisions against bad debts from their substantial profits. In other words they are putting money by for a rainy day – something the West failed to do effectively before the financial crisis in 2008.
Overall though, I am now far more positive on the long-term potential of China. Yes there will be volatility along the way, not least because the Chinese themselves regard the stock market as something of a casino, but the sheer numbers involved are frankly mind-blowing. Whether it's the increase in gambling revenues in Macau this year – equalling an entire year's gambling revenue in Las Vegas – or the biggest selling beer brand in the world (Snow) being one we have barely heard of in the West, the opportunities are incredible.
Alongside the opportunities, there are risks. China remains a communist country and one thing you cannot escape from is the possibility of political interference. There is also the shorter-term danger that rising inflation in China will rattle markets as investors worry about a slowdown in economic growth. If this happens, as it already has to an extent throughout the beginning of this year, investors could be presented with a compelling buying opportunity into this long-term story. In any case I am planning to increase my weighting very shortly.

'I Dreamed of Africa' author accused over deaths of black rhinos
A glamorous Italian-born writer and land-owner, whose life story was turned into a movie starring Kim Basinger, is in the middle of an environmental storm after four rare black rhinos died on arrival at her Kenyan farm.
Kuki Gallman became well known after she wrote a syrupy autobiography, I Dreamed of Africa, which tells of how she came to Kenya and decided to stay even after her husband and son met violent deaths there.
After the book was turned into a film in 2000, visitors began to flock to her ranch Ol Ari Nyiro (Place of Dark Waters) to stay in luxurious cottages and gaze at the scenery she described. She now focuses on environmental work, and hosts operas with the Rift Valley as a backdrop.
The Kenya Wildlife Service agreed to send 10 rhinos from Nairobi National Park her 100,000-acre ranch after she promised to provide a safe environment in which they could roam. But four of the animals died of acute pneumonia shortly after arrival, and wildlife experts complained they had not been given suitable holding pens.
Many white farmers in Laikipia have cut back on unprofitable cattle-rearing and turned to eco-tourism. Western tourists pay up to £200 a night to stay in luxury accommodation and drive around in four-wheel-drives looking for animals. Ranches that offer the chance to spot endangered animals such as rhinos are especially popular, and most land-owners are keen to host rhinos, lions and hippos.
The deaths of these black rhinos have, however, raised questions about the whole system of giving private landowners rare wildlife.
Most experts say Ms Gallman should have made better preparations for the rhinos' arrival. "The air in Laikipia is much colder than in Nairobi, and rhinos are always weaker after they travel long distances," said a source at one wildlife support group. "In Ol Ari Nyiro, the rhinos were put into muddy pens when they should have been allowed to acclimatise somewhere warm and dry after their journey."
The Kenya Wildlife Service, meanwhile, was accused of putting the demands of wealthy white farmers ahead of the welfare of the animals. Its spokesman, Connie Maina, said all procedures were followed, and it was baffled by the deaths. "We have put together a team of five people to look into the deaths, and at our overall rhino management policy," he said. "Kuki has other rhino on her ranch and they have done very well."
The rhino population in Kenya has been reduced dramatically by poachers, who sell the horn to buyers in the Far East, and there are now estimated to be only 435 black rhinos in the country. They are highly susceptible to changes in their environment, and they often become agitated if transported in crates. Many rhinos die while being taken from one place to another, but conservationists are deeply concerned about the loss of so many animals in one move.
Earlier this year, the wildlife service came under fire for plans to send hundreds of animals, including rhinos, to a zoo in Thailand. It is going ahead with the plan.

UPDATE 9/20/2010: FINALLY WE HAVE A WINNER for the funny little contest hiding in this episode. I guess it was a good one; it took 180,000 views before Ed "Hoodie" Prins-Stairs finally stepped forward to claim some free DVDs and a custom drawing from me. The answer? There were eight letters hiding throughout the episode which spelled "NUPTIALS" when unscrambled. Ed emailed me with that secret word and landed himself a bucket of awesome win-havings. Congrats Ed!
So the other day I went back and watched RAB 21, and noticed that somewhere (sorta semi-hidden) in there I half-jokingly mentioned "see you in August, 2010" since it had been 14 months since RAB 20 came out. Well, DANG. I wasn't serious. I honestly did mean to ramp up episode output (and still do), but I guess the cluttery nature of freelance artistry got the best of things. Here really is hoping that it won't be another 14 months until RAB 23, but hell, it may well be 14 YEARS knowing what an unpredictable piece of offal I am. Stay tuned!
In the meantime, here's a big, flopping 9+ minute episode full of breasts and blood and dicks and childishness. Special thanks to Tom Fulp and Newgrounds for hosting & sponsoring the crowning achievement of my artistic career: a wriggling pile of blob-shaped, cursing critters. Thanks also to a really kickass, famous band who makes a guest appearance in this episode, as well as Stephen Wayne of Hartford's 106.9 WCCC for appearing in a (pivotal) supporting role! There's also a cool techno track by Gazdatronik, and last but not least, my unyieldingly supportive wife reprises her role as Puppy's cousin!
Oh and by the way, this episode would have gotten uploaded much earlier, but some tool uploaded something under the same title and I had to wait until Tom deleted it. I don't suppose asking nicely here will prevent it ever from happening again, but from now on, please don't be dickish and upload anything with "Retarded Animal Babies" in the title? It's only gonna get deleted anyway, and the word is there'll be a series title filter down the road too. Plus I'll have my supporters come to your house and nose-rape you for preventing timely uploads of their favorite animated boobtastic entertainment. You can never really tell with the sort of person that loves tits 'n cock toons.

That was hillarious! And I never thought Puppy would want to get married! Hope to see another in a few months.

Newgrounds Series That Deserves It's Success
Retarded Animal Babies, having been out for several years, has certainly earned its success. Only on Newgrounds could a foul-mouthed, perverted, insane series like this be successful in any right.
As is usual, the dirty jokes are there. The self-awareness. The fluid animation. Nothing is out of place, and its certain to entertain the thousands of RAB fans.
However, is it wrong of me to have wanted more? Even after 14 busy months, it seemed like so much more childishness and immaturity could have been added to the hilarity.
Ah well. To ask such questions is not normal. To those haven't seen this yet, sit back and enjoy the show. You'll love it.
Rated 5 / 5 stars
Lol,David hasslehoff
Good quality animation and funny,good work.

Dubai and Istanbul are among the top cities in the Middle East with maximum high net worth individuals (HNWIs), according to The 2014 Middle East Wealth Report published by New World Wealth.
A Polish architect is planning designs for an underwater tennis centre located off the Dubai coast and is now planning investment from local bankers to make the concept a reality.
Dubai Parks and Resorts, a subsidiary of major real estate investment company, Meraas Holding has joined hands with the UK-based Merlin Entertainment, the second largest visitor attraction operator in the world and a FTSE 100 company to develop a new theme park in Dubai.
Exhibitors at DEAL 2015 (Dubai Entertainment Amusement Leisure show) have signed contracts worth more than Dh.
The UAE has bagged the top-ranked passport in the region, as per the latest global index on the most powerful passports.
Around the globe, you will find that the most popular tourist hotspots have spent decades building their infrastructure and reputation to attract visitors from the world over, so Dubai's quick ascension as a premier travel destination has certainly got people turning heads. Credit is due to the intelligent efforts of Dubai's government; because of it, Dubai tourism has exploded within a short span of time.
Dubai (Dubayy), like its neighbors, sits on rich oil resources, but really first attracted attention as a tourist destination with its annual Shopping Festival. With royal foresight, it was the Sheikh of Dubai who saw the need to create another form of trade to support its economy, knowing the eventuality of oil resources would run out one day and an annual event wasnt enough. And so began the plans to convert Dubai into a luxurious holiday and vacation spot and a commercial center as well. Today, a large portion of the money earned by the old oil economy is now being pumped into promoting Dubai travel and tourism. Dubai is now known as a premier travel destination, with recreation, dining and entertainment for every age group.
Dubai already attracts thousands of business professionals on a daily basis. Located centrally where Europe, Africa, and Asia meet, Dubai accommodates well for the convening of international business. With this in mind, many facilities in Dubai have been built to facilitate tradeshows and exhibitions. The most popular of these is the Dubai World Trade Center.
Dubai boasts of magnificent resorts like the Burj Al Arab, seven-star hotels, world-renowned golf courses, desert safaris, snowboarding on sand dunes and indoor skiing and of course, some of the best shopping in the world. Dubai also offers much for the family: water parks, museums, historical sites, beaches and the zoo. With the cooler weather months from October to April, Dubai makes for a leisurely, enjoyable holiday stay. Cricket matches, camel racing, major sporting events and the Dubai Summer Surprises are just a sampling of what this exciting city has to offer. The combination of all these amenities in a sheltered and luxurious setting, have made Dubai one of the top vacation destinations in the world.
A sparkling gem in the desert, the city of Dubai is host to more than 11 million visitors a year, and has quickly become known for its world-class dining, unparalleled shopping, prestigious sporting events and year-round recreational activities. Guide2Dubai is your portal to all that is Dubai: local attractions, hotels, restaurants, properties, jobs, sports, entertainment, travel/relocating info and more.

ESPN.com: Chicago Bears | [Print without images] |
The explosive passing aspects of an offense might put fans in the stands, but the Bears proved in 2009 that a successful ground game is what tacks victories onto a team's record.
Chester Taylor was one of the Bears' key free-agent pickups. |
Two burning questions heading into camp concern whether the duo packs enough punch to revitalize a dead-legged ground attack that ranked 29th in 2009, in addition to how the club plans to divvy up the workload, which is likely to be significant, based on coach Lovie Smith's plans for the Bears to maintain a run-first identity.
To do that, the Bears need to achieve a level of consistency at the position.
Forte, who followed a strong rookie year with an injury-riddled sophomore season, couldn't provide that in 2009. In fact, three backups -- Garrett Wolfe, Kahlil Bell and the departed Adrian Peterson -- combined for a significantly higher yards-per-carry average (5.6) than Forte (3.6), who is expected to receive first crack at the starting job.
The Bears selected BYU all-time leading rusher Harvey Unga in the seventh round of the supplemental draft, with an eye on him as a bigger complement to Forte and Taylor. Unga, who is considered to possess impressive agility for a player his size (6-0, 244 pounds), will compete with Wolfe and Bell to assume the No. 3 running back role. It's important to note that of the eight running backs picked in the supplemental draft's history, four never played in the NFL. Only one running back ever selected in the supplemental draft -- Bobby Humphrey -- earned a spot in the Pro Bowl.
It's likely the Bears' initial plan is to split carries between Forte and Taylor, who signed a $12.5 million ($7 million guaranteed) contract to join the club in free agency. But at some point, a larger portion of the workload will likely be handed to either Forte or Taylor based on who has the hot hand.
Early in the offseason, Forte mentioned that he envisions in Martz's system certain formations in which both running backs "can be on the field at the same time." Both possess similar skill sets with their ability to catch the ball out of the backfield.
Forte is faster (he appears to have regained his rookie speed), and more elusive than Taylor. Taylor runs with more authority and appears to be more effective in pass protection than Forte.
Forte said he "was fine" with the Taylor signing during the offseason. But some in the organization believe the acquisition of Taylor has motivated Forte. So with Taylor looking to prove he's worth the money the Bears paid in free agency, and Forte motivated to erase his disastrous 2009 campaign, the Bears should benefit significantly from the inherent competition created by the players' respective situations.
Future Hall of Fame running back Marshall Faulk produced the bulk of his numbers playing in Martz's offense with the St. Louis Rams. Martz and the Bears will need to coax from two players -- Forte and Taylor -- stats similar to Faulk's (1,374-yard average from 1999-2002, in addition to averaging 881 receiving yards).
The Bears seem to think Forte and Taylor are skilled enough to pull it off. On paper, it appears possible too, given that Cutler -- paired with the club's dangerous speed on the outside at receiver between Devin Hester and Johnny Knox -- should prevent opponents from loading the tackle box, which automatically opens up the running lanes.
Either way, it's imperative this season for the Bears to regain consistency at the running back position. If Forte and Taylor falter, you can count on the rest of the offense tanking too, along with the Bears' season.

The evidence The make-up artist's studio
Saturday 12 September 1998
"The day of the photo I was holding a beauty forum in my workshop. I'd invited some women in to get their opinions on make-up: it's really important to get the consumers' opinions on products. The photographer couldn't believe how tidy it was, I'm incredibly organised - you have to be as there are so many products. The trolleys I use to display my make-up were pounds 3 each, they're old Post Office trolleys. The boards on the wall are a selection of beauty advertising campaigns and one or two art references. Normally I've planned what I'm doing in advance so I just carry that silver box on appointments and sessions. I think if I could only take one thing it would be the colour palettes [in the trolley]. The bike is my boyfriend's, I'm more of a rambler. The dentist's chair I bought in Brick Lane, it was really cheap, but it's great because people totally relax when they sit in it so they keep nice and still."
