Re: lunch @ work
I sometimes used to take in cous cous. Take a stock cube with you too, to add a bit of flavour. You don't need to actually cook the cous cous in water, it just needs to sit in boiling water rather like a posh cousin of the Pot Noodle. Take a tupperware of chopped dried apricots, raisins, chillies, spring onions etc. with you and mix in.

Re: lunch @ work
yes, love bit of the couscous!
also, how about taking a selection of ingredients to compile a daily salad? like a bag of leaves, jar of olives, onions, feta/ goats cheese...
take a range every monday and mix and match everyday :-D

Re: lunch @ work
I used to take a large tupperware container with salad leaves, grated carrot, and some fresh cooked baby beets (or thin sliced raw), and add to them some canned tuna and corn (the individual serving sized ones) and mix them all together to make a huge salad with some good mayo. Yummy.

Re: lunch @ work
A couple of week ago I saw a show of Bill Granger. He made an salad to take away. If I remember well the ingredients were:
white beans
red onion
some pepper and salt
poor over a little olive oil and lemon juice.
I didn't eat it yet, but it looked very simple and nice.

Read a Q&A with the lead character artist on the video game Skylanders: Spyro's Adventure
I-Wei Huang has been an artist at video game developer Toys for Bob for ten years. He served as the lead character artist on Skylanders: Spyro's Adventure (Available now for Nintendo Wii/3DS, Xbox 360, PlayStation3 and Windows/Mac. Read our review here). The role required Huang to create colorful action characters that worked as both a physical toy and inside the virtual world of a video game. TFK chatted with Huang to learn more about his job—and about his award-winning side projects creating steam-powered robots.
You are the lead character artist behind the Skylanders. What did that involve for you?
I helped create all the [Skylander] characters with [Toys for Bob] studio head Paul Ritchie. I drew a bunch of characters and tried to refine them to a point where it felt like a really good video-game character, as well as a really good toy. Then we started prototyping and eventually we [created] over 30 characters that are both toys and in-game characters.
What are some of the most important tools on your job?
Creativity. As far as the real tools are concerned, almost everything is done on the computer. Initially, we had made clay models [of the characters] in small quantities, hand painting each toy by hand, but over time we moved on to a process where it is prototyped by a toy engineering company. So most of my job now is drawing on the computer. I model the characters, which is basically like working with clay but within the computer, adding the textures and everything. So I guess the best tool is the computer.
You created brand-new characters for the Skylanders game. Did you have a favorite character to design?
No, because they all have personal meaning to me. Each one of them has been a long road. It's never the case where I just draw a character and we say "Hey, let's make this into a character and a toy, and let's make millions of these." Each toy goes through an evolution. You start out with something really simple on a piece of paper, and then you slowly work on trying to define [features]. One thing that I am very happy about is that we have a huge variety of characters. That's so that each person has a favorite. I just can't pick myself.
Skylanders is new in that it has this physical, interactive toy element with the game. Was that something new to you—designing both a physical and digital character—and how did that make your job different?
It's definitely a new experience. I've been working in the video-game industry for over a decade. You do everything on a computer. I love having something physical that you can actually touch. You end up making so many characters on the computer that you can never touch—they just look real. But now with these toys, you'll be able to touch them and feel them. It's a magical experience for me.
What were your interests as a kid: art, engineering, science?
All of the above. I spent a lot of time as a kid drawing and playing with clay, and I also spent a lot of time reading [about] animals and insects. I just really loved to find out how things worked. I was just naturally curious and liked to draw.
One of your hobbies now is designing and building steam-powered robots. What inspired the idea?
Once you start working on the computer, you stop getting your fingernails dirty. I really missed that. I like to tinker with my hands. I love the idea of Steampunk, which is this genre of movies and stories and stuff based on old Victorian technology, but in an alternate universe. I spent a lot of energy learning exactly how a steam engine works to the point where I was drawing up pretty detailed drawings and thinking, "You know, I think this would work." That's when I started tinkering with and started building these steam-powered robots.
How do the robots work?
The idea of steam-power is actually really simple in its basic form. If you make tea, or cook, and you see steam, you know it is water when it's boiled. If you cover up where the steam comes out, it's going to build up pressure to a certain point where it starts to push something out. If you channel that into a cylinder of an engine, you can push the cylinder in and out with steam [to power it].
To learn more about Huang's bots, watch the video below.
How does working on these engineering projects on the side help with your job?
I always say that having visual problem-solving skills is really important. It has helped me quite a bit in [working on Skylanders]. It's like one of those math problems—if you put it on paper, it's hard to understand, but as soon as you draw it out, it's much easier. I think over the years I've developed the ability to problem-solve in my head and visualize [the solution] before even putting it down on paper.

Galveston Bay, Texas: Before
When two sailing enthusiasts had to temporarily table their dream of building a boat in order to raise their young crew of four, they set about looking for a new adventure. And that's exactly what they found in an aged, lackluster house on Galveston Bay in Texas. While the home's dated tile, dingy walls, and cobbled-together furnishings (which came with the house) were a far cry from the picturesque home the family envisioned, they were up for the challenge of making it their own.
First, however, they would need some experienced hands on deck, so they reached out to designers Elizabeth Munger Stiver and Amy Munger, who got to work, bringing in warm pine for the floors, statement-making shiplap walls, and well-curated furniture that is both pretty and practical. Here, handy makeover tips to craft a home that's ready for anything.

Ask questions at the polls and read the paper receipt!!
Original post made by Concerned about Electronic Voting, Stanford, on Nov 7, 2006
Okay, maybe I did inadvertently vote for AS (although I am 99% sure I didn't), shouldn't it have been an easier, more straightforward process to make the change? Shouldn't the poll worker know how to work the machine? Why was the manager so quick to put it on me, instead of recognizing that their process was cumbersome to say the least? What if I didn't already have a basic understanding of computers or the wherewithal to keep asking until I got my question answered?
And, I worked as a poll worker for a couple of elections, and we were not instructed how to deal with this, so I know it wasn't an aberration that the first person didn't know how to do this.
Get rid of electronic voting!

I would like to see all states go to voting by mail, as Oregon (and I believe Washington state) has done. It provides more time, is more convenient, and is far less susceptible to large-scale fraud.
Electronic voting systems are COMPUTING systems - there will ALWAYS be a possibility that they will be hacked. There is simply noe way to avoid this, unless we do away with electronic voting.
For emphasis: Voting fraud has ALWAYS occurred in American elections - to some small degree. As well, it's always been the case than a very small percentage of cast ballots never made it to the final count. I would rather live with the former than worry about someone hacking systems state by state, precinct by precinct, to slectively cull and add votes in systematic ways that literally change the nature of our democracy. The latter is what we're facing with electronic voting.
Last, we'd better do something about gerrymandering, because it's probably hte most toxic thing we've dome to our democracy, especially in that last 10-15 years.

I think it would be fairly easy to "fat-finger" an incorrect vote on the touch-screen voting machines. I tapped the screen with the end of a pen just to make sure I hit the right spot.
The directions to change a vote were right on the screen though. I think that some people are upset by the technology before even facing it, so they rush ahead and assume the machine is trying to cut them out of the voting process.
Just take a breath, relax, and read the instructions. And next election, put yourself on the list as a permanent absentee so you can avoid the machines entirely.

I had my preschool daugther pressing the keys for me this morning on the voting machine. It really is not very difficult.
Good for you for checking the receipt, and granted the poll worker should have known how to make a change. I hardly think this points to a problem with electronic voting however, as a paper ballot (with chad) would have probably be even more prone to errors and been even harder to fix.

Theresa, I work with electronic and digital interfaces all the time, and I can attest to the fact that the interface on those machines - especially of you want to change a vote, check your results and go back, or check yuor results and vote, are NOT transparent.
The interface on those machines WILL keep MILLIONS of people from feeling like they cast their vote properly, and WILL cause mistakes.
It's easy to say "relax" to someone if YOU don't have a problem with an interface. We've been hearing the same exhortations for two decades from technologists (of which I am one) about computer technology.
Voting HAS to be COMPLETELY TRANSPARENT, SIMPLE, AND AS TRUSTWORTHY AS POSSIBLE. An 80 year-old immigrant who has NEVER voted should be able to walk into a booth and figure out the interface. To the degree that we haven't INSISTED that she can, we have failed our democracy. To the degree that we have failed to GUARANTEE that large scale hacks can't be made on these machines, to that degree we have failed our democracy.

I waited 30 mins to get to the door of my polling place to find out that 3 of the 5 machines were out of paper. Those who brought their sample ballots could vote by their paper ballots. When I signed in I was offered to vote in a paper ballot then told they only had foreign language ones left. I voted on a Spanish language paper ballot. I t was interesting - I made it thru and appreciated the pollsters being patient and making the best of a bad situation. We were told they didn't have enough supplies because voter turnout wasn't supposed to be this high. Why can't we plan a little better?? They did not realize mid afternoon things were busier than what they had projected?

In my opinion voting by Absentee Ballot is the ONLY way to go. One has time to read the ballot and carefully vote. No lines, no uninformed (and sometimes rude) poll workers.

Mail in votes don't change the security problem at all. It's not a simple issue, the current machines are immature but will probably get better at security over time. Besides, as Scott Adams said, having our representitives chosen by a teenage hacker in Finland can hardly be worse than the electorate's track record.
a resident of Ventura

Gary, how is mail in voting as insecure, or more insecure, than e-voting? With mail voting there is no opportunity for systematic hacking that is "selective" right down to the precint level, on a large scale.
I would like to hear your argument to the contrary.

Fears for refinery jobs as Chevron plans restructure
Fears over job losses at the Chevron refinery in Pembrokeshire have been raised after the oil giant said it was to "exit from certain markets".
The firm, the fifth-largest refiner in the United States, has told staff it is planning a restructuring that would involve sweeping cuts globally.
It said it had not decided whether to close any of its refineries.
The Pembroke site has 1,400 permanent and contract staff and processes 220,000 barrels of crude oil a day.
Chevron said further details on its plans were expected to be released in March.
A spokesman for the company said it is planning to restructure some of its refinery operations, cut some jobs and exit some markets.
In America, some refiners have shut down operations as the rising cost for crude oil cut profits faster than the income from the products they refine such as heating oil, diesel fuel and jet fuel.
Chevron employees have been told about the plans to restructure the firm.
"The global recession has reduced demand for refined products while global refining capacity continues to surge," explained Chevron spokesman Lloyd Avram.
"To improve profitability and long term competitiveness, Chevron has created a new downstream organisation.
"This organisation is less complex, more responsive to market opportunity and smaller, requiring fewer positions and people.
"No further decisions regarding assets or markets have been made."
He added that no decision about how many jobs would be needed after the restructure.
He said Chevron has also not decided whether to close any of its refineries.
The Chevron refinery in Pembroke, which first opened in 1964, employs 1,200, processes 220,000 barrels of crude oil a day.
The refinery is the fourth largest in the UK, with just under 12% of the UK's overall refining capacity.
In 2005, the Pembroke refinery had an £84m upgrade.
The Welsh Assembly Government's Deputy First Minister, Ieuan Wyn Jones, said: "I understand that the news that Chevron plans a global review may create uncertainty and worry, not only for the workforce at Pembrokeshire, but also their families and the wider community.
"However, no decision about any of Chevron's plants has been taken.
"The Pembrokeshire plant makes a major contribution to UK refining capacity which is still required even in these difficult times."
He said he would be visiting the plant soon and would be contacting Chevron in California, "offering any help we can to ensure the plant has a strong future".
A senior member of Pembrokeshire council said the plant "is a very important part of the Pembrokeshire economy and we hope will continue to be so".
Councillor John Allen-Mirehouse, the cabinet member for Regeneration and Economic Development, said: "Over many years, the company - and its predecessor Texaco - has made massive contributions in this part of the world not only in terms of employment but also through its active involvement in the community.
"Pembrokeshire County Council has always worked closely with the management at the refinery and will continue to do so."
Stephen Crabb, the MP for Preseli Pembrokeshire: "As the largest private sector employer in Pembrokeshire, the refinery is of critical importance to the local economy. Its loss would be a catastrophic blow to the area."

Hey Guys,
Wanted to start a new thread on the Preproduction gauntlets progress.
The upper and lower sections are made of gel coated epoxy resin reinforced with 3 layers of fiberglass strand clothe. The epoxy is very strong and far less brittle than traditional polyester resin. The dry time is hell but the end product is worth it!
Lots of metal fabrication here!
The metal work is laborious, time consuming and expensive but the overall assembly is fairly easy.
A limited run of these may come available soon but I gottah warn you guys, "It's gonna hit the wallet"!
More to come..

Aleiha's parabolic solar cooker
this wiki
Aleiha'a parabolic solar cooker is a hand-made parabolic solar cooker that uses a satellite dish and discarded materials. It has a high cooking power. To make this cooker requires availability of some special materials and certain skills (cutting aluminium pieces, for instance) so may be suitable only for handymen/women. At 1:00 pm, the dish reaches 205 ºC (400 ºF), and around 2:00-3:00 pm, up to 175 ºC (350 ºF).
The cooker has succesfully cooked veggie burgers and beans. It doesn't burn food easily, as if the cooker forgets to look at the food, the sun continues to move in the sky, the focus changes it's position and the temperature in the pot descends. Considering that part of the materials used where salvaged or donated, the total cost of the cooker is of $65.
- Salvaged satellite dish (1.8 m (6 ft) in diameter)
- Discarded sheet aluminum cut into triangular pieces
- Conduit piping
- A bike rim
- Aluminum rivets and washers
Dimensions: 1.8 m (6 ft) diameter

Head Coach hails Ricketts' qualities
Kenny Jackett has highlighted the leadership qualities of new signing and captain Sam Ricketts as he revealed it was his aim to bring in a new skipper.
The 31-year-old Ricketts, who has played at all levels of the English leagues and is a regular Welsh international, has been handed the armband to try and help Wolves recover from back-to-back relegations by enjoying a successful season in League One under new Head Coach Jackett.
With the squad likely to be heavily popularised by younger players next season, they are more likely to need to focus on their own performances leaving Ricketts to exert his influence and leadership amid a competitive schedule.
"Appointing my own captain from the outside was something I looked for and it's someone I know very well and have done so for a number of years," says Jackett.
"And from Sam's point of view I feel he's ready now to take on the role of captain of Wolves.
"I feel very confident in him in terms of him being ready and it helping him develop as a person with that responsibility and also help his game.
"He's a good organiser and he knows the game – he's played right the way across the back four.
"He has both the stature and the ability to bring the ball out from centre half and is comfortable in both full back positions.
"He's very level headed and this is a new challenge for him and the next chapter. He's genuinely excited by that.
"I did feel I needed a captain and my own captain.
"Different people have filled the role and this is a decision I feel very comfortable with.
"In terms of the first signing- and the captain - it's a good signing for me personally to sign somebody who I know and also know can organise."
Ricketts is able to play in all positions across the centre of defence, an added string to his bow in terms of being able to influence both his colleagues and those in front of him on the pitch.
"He's played more games at full-back in his career, but he's genuinely two-footed," added Jackett.
"He's one of the most two-footed players I've ever seen.
"I'd think he's played most of his football at left-back but he's very comfortable at left-sided centre-half and right-back as well."
With the first new face having checked in this summer, work continues both on trying for more and assessing interest in the club's current personnel from outside.
But at this stage, Jackett has confirmed there is no fresh interest in either Bakary Sako or Kevin Doyle, and the quartet available for transfer – Karl Henry, Stephen Ward, Jamie O'Hara and Roger Johnson.
"It's very quiet on all fronts in terms of outgoings," he says.
"There haven't been any developments."
Jackett will today announce his squad for next week's trip to Scotland, set to include Sako and Doyle but not the four players available for transfer.
"Those lads are training with the Under-21 group and they're Wolves players and we'll treat them properly and with respect," he said.
"What happens now and in the future we'll have to see.
"Is there a club out there that they want to go to or one that wants them?
"We have the player's position and the club's position to consider, but we need a third party now.
"They're still training and they're still being paid.
"There are no problems with their timekeeping or work – it's a pre-season period and they have got their heads down and worked at getting fit and staying fit.
"In terms of what happens in the future, I don't know, but my focus is on the Scotland trip, looking forward to the games.
"By the end of today, we'll have completed two weeks and I want to get through this period and push the players with three sessions a day with the minimal amount of injuries."

I've seen a few posts now and again asking how someone might fit a working lcd into their rf. Well I saw this .24 inch lcd screen today. At 460 bucks, it might even be doable for some of you fetts with the technical knowhow and deep pockets.
There was no mention of what would drive the screen, but I'd guess you could get a fairly small battery operated itx-like setup to fit in a jet pack or a belt pocket.
Then of course it would be up to you to make sure that you didn't walk into things while you watched your looping mpeg of the falcon speeding away. :lol

Tech up 14-0 early... Upset brewing?
Probably another barn burner, WVU doesn't have a good defense, but a prolific all-world offense...Tech has a marginally better defense than WVU and more than enough offense to score on them.
So an early lead could lead to an upset, Tech seems to have at least one a year.
But i wouldn't be surprised to see WVU pull away at some point.
I say WV comes back firing on all cylinders and pulls out the win.
I like those WV unis. Especially the helmets.
Amaro is a stud TE and their best weapon. They gotta keep finding ways to get him the ball
Looks like WVU snoozed through practice this week, can't do that in the Big 12, you can be beat by everybody.
WVU defense is just not good enough. I think they finish with 3 losses like Baylor did last year. I can see them splitting at home vs. K-State and OU and losing at OK State
Lol what a massacre.
Lubbock is a genuine home field advantage, no one else practices in that horrid wind.
Exactly was I was thinking. I bet Geno has never seen a place like West Texas and its wind in his life...
Because of that advantage i was shocked when they signed a contract to move the Bayor-Tech game permanently to Cowboys Stadium, it robbed both teams of an alternating home game, two small cities at that that lost millions in game day revenue as well as forfeiture of a home game.
Texas Tech is the Seattle Seahawks of college football. At home they play like Championship contenders. On the road, they look like a headless chicken running around the barnyard.
They should just run all the time, Smith not catching any receiver.
Geno who?
And it's not even windy today
By Lubbock standards There are 40mph winds swirling in the stadium.
its all up to KSU now! looks like we wont get a gameday game in the big 12 this year
Surprised me Holgorsen didn't adjust to what TT was doing defensively.
Geno was not sharp at all. He had an off day.
You can say what you want about the defense, but in the first half and in the 3rd quarter they had both a turnover and forced a punt in back-to-back posessions and the offense did nothing.
In the first half it would have made a difference, maybe not in the second half, but you never know.
Opps Looks Like Geno Is Not The Next Superstar Qb As Some Think
Oh By The Way I Love It Looks He Will Not Be In The Champsionship Game
Oh By The Way I Love It :laugh2:
i wonder what tommy tubberville could do with the amount of talent we have in austin...
oh as one more thing
lol at BAYLOR
I don't think it was a coincidence that there was a Walking Dead marathon on yesterday. :
This game was like our Syracuse game.
A game we should have won going into but got our butts stomped in...eerily similar down to the TE making huge plays all day.

I don't think any pretending is necessary. The idea that V/M have not improved or stagnated is simply ludicrous. Let's look at this:
- lifts: V/M have made ever more complicated, innovative lifts every year. They are all new every year. They have the most incredible positions, and paint shape pictures with their bodies. Tessa is stronger now physically (arms, core, etc.), and they are capable of much more now than they were in Vancouver.
- twizzles: Again, V/M create new variations every year. The way they enter, exit and play with the music is DIFFICULT, and they have improved their overall stability, speed and ice coverage over the last 4 years. They used to be much less stable, and prone to more errors.
- spins: V/M have improved the speed of their spins, all the while incorporating them even more into the music.
- step sequences: This has always been a huge strength of V/M. No one matches lines, holds, edges like V/M. Over the last 4 years they have improved the overall speed of these, while demonstrating more complexity and difficulty and even more musicality. They did this so well in their program 2 seasons ago that it looked effortless and the ice dancers who were commentators made a special point of showing exactly how difficult and incredible what they were doing really was. It only looked easy. And last year was a whole new level.
- with regard to PCS, they have demonstrated increasing maturity, more complex choreography, a full range of emotions from the drama of last year to the characters of 2 years ago, to the latin expression before. This is a much more mature and seasoned V/M than the sweet kids who won Vancouver. They have taken excellence and built colour, depth, and just more of quality and speed and difficulty and musicality.
I also think it is time we gave the "poor injured, fragile Tessa" idea a rest. I know it feeds nicely into the narrative that somehow V/M are weaker and struggling, and by extension therefore not as good as their rivals. It's just not true. She had some serious issues. She dealt with them. She changed her whole skating technique in the last 4 years, as well as her off ice and on-ice routine. (That in itself is simply incredible!) She is strong and healthy, and they've never looked so happy and relaxed. When I look back to pictures of Vancouver, she looks really thin (too thin), and they both look really young. They now both look like gorgeous, healthy, vibrant all-grown-up young adults.
Or something to the effect that "Meryl and Charlie's improvements and progress is a result of being healthy. If Tessa was also healthy, their improvements would be exponentially higher." Or "Meryl and Charlie were able to play catch up because of Tessa's injury."
So I've seen the injury issue work both ways, honestly.
Personally I admire all of them for rising above their personal injuries and struggles to get to the top. I think it's great, as you pointed out Northern Dancers, that Tessa has learned to work and thrive despite her injury rather than be defeated by it.
Ultimately, I think everyone has their own reasons for preferring one team over another, and that's fine. But as far as competition goes, they are neck and neck and as many other mentioned, that who gets OGM in Sochi really comes down to who performs the very best that day.
V/M's twizzles have always been the standard for me, and still is. The way their twizzles are aligned so perfectly centered and controlled (without any shifting of the upper body/shoulders), not to mention superior ice coverage they have on this element puts them ahead of any other team currently. For those who want to see V/M do the 2-set twizzles rather than the 3-set, they already have mastered this back in the last quadrennial where they were the first team to achieve the maximum score on this element (Olympic FD). They've now moved on to try newer twizzles, namely the 3-set kind where they, again, create slight variations each year.
D/W are still stuck on the 2-set kind that they have been doing for the past several years: there is speed there, but lacking the control and ice coverage aspect. Sometimes it looks like they are doing the twizzles "on the spot". In general, though, D/W have been more consistent on this element than V/M in the past 2 years.
I will hazard a guess that D/W have not been doing the 3-set twizzles because they would fall right off on the third set.
Just my 2 cents.
To be honest this D/W and V/M argument is really tiresome old news. Honestly they give me goose bumps in fits and bursts only over the last couple of years. I hope either a rising time or a new team or a greatly improved one, any one can shake things up a bit. For me ice dance is synonymous with fashion, after a while a certain style gets stale. To me they're both sort of recycling "classic" old programs for their Olympic campaign and so I'm a bit bored with both of them. But who knows I'm open to a nice surprise now and then. Have at it I say
That was kind of my point. I was disputing the idea that V/M have stagnated since Vancouver. I'm not buying it in any way. And you validated my point. Twizzles were a little more "hit or miss" for them in the distant past. They've become much more solid, stable and difficult over the last few years in my opinion. I don't think there is a team in the world who is 100% on twizzles all the time, every time.

Boston Tea Party - (press release)
(flipbook - 6 pages)
John Paul Jones: "As far as I'm concerned, the key Zeppelin gig, the one that put everything into focus, was one that we played on our first American tour at the Boston Tea Party. We'd played our usual one hour set, using all the material for the first album and Page's White Summer guitar piece and by the end, the audience just wouldn't let us offstage. It was in such a state that we had to start throwing ideas around, just thinking of songs that we might all know or that some of us knew a part of and work it out from there.
So we'd go back on and play things like "I Saw Her Standing There" and "Please Please Me", old Beatles favorites. I mean, just anything that would come into our head and the response was quite amazing. There were kids actually bashing their heads against the stage – I've never seen that a gig before or since, and when we finally left the stage, we'd played for four plus hours.
Peter (Grant) was absolutely ecstatic. He was crying, if you can imagine that, and hugging us all. You know with this grizzly bear hug. I suppose it was then that we realized just what Led Zeppelin was going to become." – (NME, Feb. 1973)

Concert description
An amazing show ... this could be quite possibly one of the the best Led Zeppelin concert from 1969. The sound is vibrant and crisp and the playing is amazing. Jimmy's soloing throughout is nothing short of breathtaking and Jones' thundering bass and Bonham's amazing drums only add to it, as does Robert's crystalline and wonderful voice. An incredible show ... one of the very best! Some sources reports that another set of rock 'n' roll medleys was performed but a big care must be taken with these statements.


text: 04 Sep 2012 350 Miles: An Essex Journey Previous slide Next slide 1 of 16 View All Skip Ad The following images are taken from 350 Miles: An Essex Journey, by Jason Orton and Ken Worpole. The book offers a striking, if occasionally bleak, portrait of the county's coastline. As Ken Worpole explains: "We walked, cycled and occasionally drove, separately or together, much of the 350 miles of coastline, taking in the atmosphere, the landscape, and the abiding relationship to the sea. At the end of the journey we appreciated, more than ever, that the Essex shoreline is especially memorable for its obstinate refusal to conform to conventional notions of what is beautiful or picturesque. This landscape is singularly rich in history, and full of layered meanings and visual pleasures to those who give it the time and attention it deserves." The book is currently being used by VisitEssex to promote the county as a holiday destination. Copies can be bought at www.amazon.co.uk/350-Miles-An-Essex-Journey/dp/0955218500 .

SAN ANTONIO (AP) -- The San Antonio Spurs opened a new season by using the same formula that has produced the highest winning percentage for a 16-year span in NBA history.
Aggressive defense, Patty Mills draining 3s, selfless ball movement, Boris Diaw shooting without hesitation and coach Gregg Popovich being jovial with reporters. OK, maybe it wasn't quite the same old Spurs.
Five months after last season's disappointing loss in the NBA Finals, a mix of ''corporate knowledge'' and new infusion of talent propelled San Antonio to a strong start in a 101-94 victory over the Memphis Grizzlies on Wednesday night.
''We won,'' said Popovich, who later complimented a reporter for a good question. ''We have 81 more games.''
Kawhi Leonard had 14 points and Tony Parker added 13 points and nine assists for the Spurs, who improved to 16-1 in season openers under Popovich.
Tim Duncan left the game with a chest contusion after taking an inadvertent elbow with 10:50 left in the third quarter. Duncan did not return after retreating to the locker room. He had three points and six rebounds in 17 minutes. His status for Friday's game at the Los Angeles Lakers was unknown.
''He'll get checked out tomorrow,'' Popovich said. ''He had spasms in his shoulder and his neck. It looks like his chest is bruised. He caught an elbow, so it kind of affected (him) from his chest up through his neck at some time or another.''
With Duncan missing much of the second half, San Antonio's revamped second unit dominated, outscoring Memphis' reserves 53-38.
Diaw had 14 points and Mills and Manu Ginobili had 12 points apiece.
After frustrating Popovich by being a pass-first player last season, Diaw was aggressively seeking his shot while going 6 for 9 against the Grizzlies.
''He went and talked to a guru in India or something,'' Popovich said. ''I don't know what he did, but he catches and shoots now. I got nothing to do with it. I've been begging him since he got here. His previous coaches have begged him. All of a sudden he's a catch-and-shoot guy. It's continued and we're happy about it.''
Newly named as the Spurs' backup point guard, Mills gave the team an immediate boost. He had a reverse layup and three straight 3-pointers upon entering the game. He was fouled on his third 3-pointer, draining the free throw to give San Antonio a 37-22 lead with 6:48 left in the first half.
''He was a great boost,'' Parker said. ''He has been playing well the whole preseason. He knocked down 3s all preseason and that is what he did tonight.''
Tony Allen had 15 points and Marc Gasol and Mike Conley had 14 each for Memphis. Quincy Pondexter had 13 points and Mike Miller 11 in his return to the Grizzlies after playing last season for the Heat.
The Spurs set a franchise record while outscoring the Grizzlies 30-7 in the second quarter.
''We let so many points come behind our back,'' Allen said. ''Whether it's made baskets or missed baskets. Off the rebound they just kept pushing, they had the momentum and they did a good job of executing as a team.''
San Antonio held Memphis to seven points in the second quarter, a franchise low by an opponent for the period and the third lowest for a quarter in team history. The Spurs continually ran a second defender at the Grizzlies, forcing them to pass or take a contested shot.
Memphis failed to score in the opening 8 minutes of the second quarter, missing their first 10 field goal attempts. Before Allen's 3-pointer with 3:45 remaining in the first half, the Grizzlies' only points came on a pair of free throws by Pondexter in the opening minute of the second. Memphis finished the second quarter shooting 11.1 percent from the field: 2 for 18.
''We stopped moving the basketball and we tried to create our own shots,'' first-year Memphis coach David Joerger said. ''When the ball moves, the energy on our team goes up. We move, we cut hard, we screen harder, we rim run harder, but our defense wasn't great. Give them credit. They ended up shooting a lot of layups.''
Continuing his struggles from last season's playoff sweep to the Spurs, Zach Randolph was held two 2 points on 1-for-6 shooting.
''They had a good playoff series against us last season, they swept us and did a good job,'' Randolph said. ''But tonight was one of those nights; just one of those nights.''
Memphis started the game shooting 29 percent from the field, going 4 for 14.
NOTES: Memphis has lost all 13 of its season openers since moving from Vancouver and is 2-17 in openers overall in franchise history. ... The lowest point total for a quarter by a San Antonio opponent is 3 by Denver in the first quarter on Nov. 27, 2002. The second lowest is six by Toronto in the fourth quarter on Nov. 1, 2002. ... Tiago Splitter, one of the least talkative Spurs, gave the welcoming address to the fans before the game. The center from Brazil promised the team would work hard on the court and in the community and punctuated it with ''muchos gracias.'' ... Memphis had to call a timeout 47 seconds into the game when no one remained in the backcourt to receive Conley's inbound pass. ... Memphis has lost 15 of 16 regular-season games in San Antonio, with its last victory coming April 9, 2010.

Besides he of all people knows how the media and fans takes the smallest things and runs with it.
TC has forgotten about this as soon as Nicks showed up. The apology was icing on the cake and shows the nature of Nicks. In Nicks, I see a player that has had trouble staying healthy and in his contract year has decided to take some control of his time on the field by skipping voluntary OTA's to ensure nothing goes wrong before the season.
No one remembers who came in second.

[quote user="BlueSanta"][quote user="allentown PA"]Jerel Worthy DT from michigan ST is who im hoping for..thoughts?[/quote]
I still have a hard time deciding on him because he is such a hot and cold player. 1 week he looks unstoppable and the next your left scratching your head wondering where he went.
He is 1 of those guys I am kind of watching out of the corner of my eye at the combine. I want to see if there is fitness problem because I cannot understand how a guy can be so amazingly disruptive 1 quarter, and invisible the next.
The reason why he is so up-and-down is simply because he's just a 1-gap shooter. He obviously excels at shooting gaps but when that doesn't work (as, of course, you can't explode off the snap on every single play) you can block him effectively because he isn't very good at holding up at the line of scrimmage and disengaging. His game centers around his first step, and only his first step. Either he gets penetration, or gets blocked up easily when lineman get their hands on him imo

The apartment, though small is very well balanced, pleasant and comfortable. The only negative is that the elevator was broken and with luggage, child stroller, it was not practical!
L'appartement, bien que petit est très bien réparti, agréable et confortable. Le seul point négatif, c'est que l'ascenseur était en panne et avec bagages, enfant et poussette, cela n'a pas été pratique !
when I booked the apartment I thought I met the owner on site that would give me the keys, instead of zero human contact! everything has been done through codes and safe in an office away from the apartment! would have been better to know before you make a reservation! The apartment itself was quite dirty and smelly!!
quando ho prenotato l'appartamento pensavo che avrei conosciuto il proprietario che sul posto mi avrebbe dato le chiavi dell'appartamento, invece contatto umano zero!!! il tutto è stato fatto tramite codici e cassetta di sicurezza in un ufficio distante dall'appartamento! sarebbe stato meglio saperlo prima di effettuare la prenotazione! l'appartamento in sè era piuttosto sporco e maleodorante!!!!
Very well located, very central. Quiet place but expensive for a 20m2 appartment.
We really loved our time in this gorgeous unit, so centrally located in Montmartre.
We felt extremely secure behind double security doors and the unit has a charm of its own.
The shower is really great which is important to us. Hot water is very hot so just need to take care here.
We loved this unit and would highly recommend it.
very nice little studio. one leaves the house and is in the middle of Paris. I Adoe!
petit studio très sympa.
on sort de la maison et on se trouve en plein milieu de Paris.
J'ai adoé!!!
The accomodation wasn't quite what the website said, the appartment wasn't as 'new' as promised, and Wifi wasn't working,which was a great disappointment
Prima 2 persons This lovely, super location (nice neighborhood), clean.
Prima 2 persoons appertement, super locatie (leuke wijk), schoon.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Paris. We had a lovely clean and nice apartment near Place de la Bastille, a super base for our daily walks through Paris. One downside was that we had with the car, we had to first collect the key, here we are in a gridlock they drove waardooe we have done very slowly. This was a good lesson for next time.
we hebben enorm genoten van ons verblijf in Parijs. We hadden een prachtig schoon en mooi appartement dichtbij place de la Bastille, een super uitgangspunt voor ons dagelijkse wandelingen door Parijs. Een minpunt was dat we met de auto waren; we moesten eerst de sleutel ophalen, hierbij zij we in een verkeersinfarct gereden, waardooe we er erg lang over gedaan hebben. Dit was een goede les voor een volgende keer.
Apartment in great location ideal to reach any point of Paris and its surroundings. Area full of bars and restaurants. Despite the pulsating nightlife, thanks to the placement in an inner courtyard, the apartment is also very quiet. As points against, the minimal and not very effective restructuring and some Ikea furniture overwhelmed use.
Appartamento in posizione ottima e ottimale per raggiungere qualsiasi punto di Parigi e dintorni. Zona piena di locali e ristoranti. A dispetto della pulsante vita notturna, grazie al posizionamento in un cortile interno, l'appartamento risulta anche molto silenzioso. Come punti a sfavore, la minimale e non molto efficace ristrutturazione e alcuni mobili Ikea sopraffatti dall'uso.
The location of the apartment is fine. Located in a quiet street, 3 minutes walk from metro station Botzaris (line 7a) and one of the most beautiful parisian parks, Buttes Chaumont. Pity that the apartment was not cleaned upon arrival, this was 40 euros included in the rent. The apartment was downright dirty and dusty. For parisian concepts is a spacious apartment. With 4 people it was doable. The toilet was a box of 1 square meter. If you made use of the toilet than lack of space could not close the door. Furthermore, a great apartment and surroundings with a supermarket and shopping within walking distance. With the subway you are in a half hour in the heart of Paris.
De ligging van het appartement is prima. Gelegen in een rustige straat op 3 minuten loopafstand van metrostation Botzaris (lijn 7 bis) en 1 van de mooiste parijse parken, Buttes Chaumont.
Jammer dat het appartement bij aankomst niet was schoongemaakt, hiervoor was 40 euro in de huurprijs inbegrepen. Het appartement was ronduit vuil en stoffig. Voor parijse begrippen is het een ruime appartement. Met 4 personen was het goed te doen.
De WC was een hokje van 1 vierkante meter. Als je van de WC gebruik maakte dan kon vanwege ruimtegebrek de deur niet dicht.
Verder een prima appartement en omgeving met een supermarkt en winkelstraat op loopafstand. Met de metro zit je in een klein half uurtje in hartje Parijs.

WANTED, as in in the past but now you've changed a lot, and I don't, I don't want to be anything like you at all, when I grow up, and no one does, you have to get an attitude check. Because aint no body like you no more, kay ? KAY .

Bhutan will have satellite images of development facilities in each distric by year's end thanks to a three year project of its National Environment Commission (NEC). The Thailand minister of science and technology, Dr Khunying Kalaya Sophonpanich, visited in September 2009 to begin a technology relationship with Bhutan. The Thai government is providing US 9M for this project; it's not clear what the source of the imagery will be.
Serbia's Minister of Environment, Mining and Spatial Planning Oliver Dulic will attend the presentation of a project to form a single geospatial data system. The project is a joint effort of the country and France worth €16 million.

Ablation and Embolization to Treat Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumors
Treatments such as ablation and embolization are often used to treat cancers that start in the liver, but they can also be used to treat areas of cancer spread in the liver.
Ablation can be used to destroy tumors in the liver caused by the spread of gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST). This technique can be used if there are a few small tumors in the liver. Because ablation often destroys some of the normal tissue around the tumor, it might not be a good choice for treating tumors near major blood vessels, the diaphragm (the muscle under the lungs), or major ducts in the liver.
Usually, you will not need to stay in the hospital for this type of treatment. Often, ablation can be done without surgery by inserting a needle or probe into the tumor through the skin. The needle or probe is guided into place with ultrasound or CT scanning. Sometimes, though, to be sure the treatment is aimed at the right place, it is done during surgery.
There are several types of ablation:
- Radiofrequency ablation (RFA), which uses high-energy radio waves to heat the tumor and destroy cancer cells.
- Ethanol (alcohol) ablation, where concentrated alcohol is injected directly into the tumor to kill cancer cells.
- Microwave thermotherapy, where microwaves transmitted through a probe placed in the tumor are used to heat and destroy the cancer cells.
- Cryosurgery (cryotherapy), which destroys a tumor by freezing it using a thin metal probe. This method sometimes requires general anesthesia (where you are deeply asleep and not able to feel pain).
Possible side effects after ablation therapy include abdominal pain, infection in the liver, and bleeding into the chest cavity or abdomen. Serious complications are uncommon, but they can happen.
Embolization is a procedure that injects substances to try to block or reduce the blood flow to cancer cells in the liver.
The liver is unusual in that it has 2 blood supplies. Most normal liver cells are fed by branches of the portal vein, whereas cancer cells in the liver are usually fed by branches of the hepatic artery. Blocking the branch of the hepatic artery feeding the tumor helps kill off the cancer cells, but it leaves most of the healthy liver cells unharmed because they get their blood supply from the portal vein.
Embolization does reduce some of the blood supply to the normal liver tissue, so it may not be a good option for some patients whose liver has been damaged by diseases such as hepatitis or cirrhosis.
The main type of embolization used to treat gastrointestinal stromal tumors that have spread to the liver is arterial embolization (also known as trans-arterial embolization or TAE). In this procedure a catheter (a thin, flexible tube) is put into an artery through a small cut in the inner thigh and threaded up into the hepatic artery in the liver. A dye is usually injected into the bloodstream at this time to help the doctor monitor the path of the catheter via angiography, a special type of x-ray. Once the catheter is in place, small particles are injected into the artery to plug it up.
Typically, you will not have to stay in the hospital for this treatment.
Possible complications after embolization include abdominal pain, fever, nausea, infection in the liver, gallbladder inflammation, and blood clots in the main blood vessels of the liver. Because healthy liver tissue can be affected, there is a risk that liver function will get worse after embolization. This risk is higher if a large branch of the hepatic artery is embolized. Serious complications are not common, but they are possible.

Ok so I'm planning a full inspection later today (weather permitting some rain might be on the cards) as I have been unable to get to do this in two or three weeks due to severe weather events which included local flooding and hurricane force winds.
So to better plan for this I decided to take advantage of the screened bottom to get a quick video of how things look. http://youtu.be/javlzjb1lCQ so it doesn't look like things are too bad there are two tiny combs at one end that are likely crossed, and one that is quite wavy at the other, but doesn't look crossed. The question is should I do anything about this one or leave it alone?
Second question is I'm thinking of expanding the brood area by insetting a blank bar into it, not exactly in the middle but near to (I want to start moving the old donor comb to wards the ends of the hive for eventual removal) it. Is this a good idea or would I be better served moving one of the newly drawn combs there and letting the bees clear the honey for the queen to begin laying?
The strength of the hive looks great considering its only just approaching 60days in age from it's chop and crop birth last Christmas. Probably a bit of a silly musing on that note is: is this hive strong enough to split? It's just at the start of Fall here in Australia and my local winters are VERY mild (days mid to high teens Centigrade) with the occasional rare light frost at night. The local Eucalypti scrub is coming into flower at present too so there is the potential for a substantial nectar flow soon too.
Ok enough for now.....
Cheers, Thomas.

Carved wooden head of Edward III. English, about 1688-90 (XVII.41)
Carved wooden head of Edward III. English, about 1688-90 (XVII.41)
The Horse Armoury, by an unknown artist, early 19th century © Royal Armouries 2013
'Interior of the Horse Armoury', anon engraving, The Penny Magazine, 1836 © Royal Armouries 2013
Detail of Edward III in the Line of Kings holding the sword with two crowns. Early 19th century drawing (I.277)
Figure of Edward III in the Line of Kings holding the sword with two crowns, detail from 'The Horse Armoury' by Rowlandson and Pugin. 1809 (I.354b)
|Object Provenance:
|Object Number:
The reign of Edward III is best remembered for his role in the Hundred's Year War. This prolonged conflict with the French began in 1337, after Edward had been on the throne for ten years. It could easily have been thought that the war would be short as Edward won decisive victories and by 1360 England ruled a quarter of France.
Considering his military victories, it is surprising that Edward III's presence in the Line was not celebrated more. In the Journal of William Schellinks, written in 1661, the display of an equestrian figure of Edward III is mentioned. He is also referred to in the guidebook London and its Environs Described in 1761. However in a few accounts he is only mentioned in reference to other family members, such as the father of John of Gaunt and Edward, the Black Prince.
From the Tower of London guidebooks we know that Edward III's figure held a sword that had two crowns which the authors claimed alluded to his sovereignty in England and France. It is surprising that this is not picked up in the various visitor accounts. However we can see it in artists' impressions of the Line at the start of the nineteenth century. From these we have been able to identify the armour probably worn by the effigy of Edward III and also the wooden head used in the construction of his figure.
The wooden head is made of oak and probably constructed between 1688 and 1691. The beard on the head looks less grey than the illustrations and the guidebooks suggest, but this may be due to the head being varnished at a later date, and though this discoloured varnish has largely been removed some patches remain.
The armour used for Edward III was a 16th century example and definitely not a piece contemporary with Edward III's reign. In an article in The Gentlemen's Magazine in 1827 Samuel Meyrick, the expert in historical arms and armour chosen to re-display the Line of Kings in 1826-7, mentions Edward III as one of the monarchs he had ousted from the Line due to the inaccuracies of the former display.
Edward III is represented in the current King of Kings display by his finely carved and painted wooden head.

I am thinking of getting this: http://sgworks.com/store-page/ Good reviews, and I may start shooting my sks again if I get the stock. Anyone here have experience with it?
Clan MacPherson
One of the guys at work has one. I sold him a Yugo mismatch sewer pipe bore rifle to build it. He cut the barrel back to 16" and is pleased with it. He did have cycling issues but replaced the gas cup (?) that is in the gas block and fixed it. Remember him saying he liked using Tapco 20rd mags. If it was mine would look into adapting/using AK mags.
I've looked at one in the past too and still have it on my radar but will wait till there a bit more reasonable.
One thing I'd noticed on them, but hadn't heard any comments about one way or the other, the cable adjustment. It seems there's no lock nut to keep the adjuster from moving, not sure if it would or not, but just something I'd noticed from videos that could be a real issue if it tightened up. I also question how easy it would be to clean the gun,,the action don't look like an issue but the gas tube sure does, you'll need to remove several screws to get at that by the looks.
If you get one keep us posted, I'd like one but for >250 + by the time it gets here with a extended mag release and rail, I'm thinking there just a bit to spendy for my tastes and I'd want to make damn sure they were perfect before I'd plunk that much down for one. I'm sure not going to pay more for a stock for a SKS than I paid for the gun to start with.
Hopefully they've gotten the top cover hinge issues fixed. I'd seen and heard that they fall off and are just glued in place, plus they don't fit well besides and sometimes need modification to fit flush with the surrounding stock surfaces. I haven't seen one in person so I can't say for sure, but the interweb reviews point out those issues.
The top cover could be a real issue sense your cheek rests there and if it was to fall off while you were shooting,, would it catch up your cheek in the action or cause flash burns from the action cycling. I don't like the sounds of that.
I've had "M-1 Thumb" before and I don't think I'd want a SKS hanging off my cheek!!!! Or the bolt carrier sliding across my face,,, That would suck!!!!
Thats one of the nicer "looking" bullpups out there.
Enforcement, NOT Amnesty!!!!!!
"If theyre going to come here illegally, apply for & receive assistance through a corrupted Government agency encouraging this lawless behavior, work under the table & send billions of dollars each year back to their families in Mexico, while bleeding local economies dry, protest in our streets waving their Mexican flags DEMANDING rights, while I have to press 1′ for English, then they need to be shipped back to where they came from!" -Chad Miller
+1 I was thinking the same thingIf it was mine would look into adapting/using AK mags.
It looks like a nice kit
Any one check to see if there's any thing on YouTube? I will later
"Government is not the solution to our problem, government is the problem" Ronald Reagan
Lots of vids on youtube. I been researching it quite a bit, and most are happy with it. A few minor complaints, like the top cover hinge coming off. Like twa said its glued on. I think anyone here could put a permanent fix on it. Heres a nice camo paint job on one with a pretty girl shooting it in the latter part of the vid.
Clan MacPherson
Was also looking at this adapter as an alternative to adapting it to AK mags. http://www.thesksmagadapter.com/ I adapted one to use AK mags once and it was a pita. This one uses modified Tapco 20 rnd sks mags.

"Addictions" (top) and "Global WARning" by Curt Slangal
UTSA hosts exhibit by San Antonio artist Curt Slangal
By Tim Brownlee
Assistant Director of Public Affairs
(Nov. 9, 2006)--Through the end of the year, UTSA will present the art exhibit, "New Works by Slangal," featuring multimedia pieces by San Antonio artist Curt Slangal. The exhibit runs Nov. 9-Dec. 30 at the Downtown Campus Gallery, Durango Building Room 1.122. Gallery hours are 8 a.m.-5 p.m., Monday-Friday. The exhibit and reception are free and open to all.
Today's headlines
- La Prensa Foundation is newest member of UTSA Lone Star Society
- UTSA alumna Jordan Kaufmann wins $50K for new stent-graft start-up
- UTSA begins new way-finding sign installation this summer at Main Campus
- USA Today: UTSA long jumper Tyler Williamson rescues three-year-old boy
Article tools
Curated by UTSA art specialist Arturo Almeida, the exhibition features modernistic works using the media of painting, silkscreen, sculpture and multimedia.
Slangal grew up on San Antonio's South Side and graduated from Texas State University with a bachelor's degree in art. He has dabbled in art since age 5, and at age 52 is trying to express truths in his work.
"A number of years back, I decided to immerse myself in creating art because I think visual messages are stronger than verbal messages," said Slangal. "I'm not political and I'm not a rebel, but my goal is to help people feel an emotional attachment to what's going on in the world today."

Connecting Threads has Hobbs on sale thru this week. Spend 50 free shipping, not sure about Alaska though.
Welcome to the Quilting Board!
Connecting Threads has Hobbs on sale thru this week. Spend 50 free shipping, not sure about Alaska though.
Oh! My DD had a contract job in Bethel for three months. She said it was like living in a third world country. The pumped water stained every piece of clothing she had. She used bottled water for cooking and hygiene and just wore the stained clothes. She said everyone had the same stained clothes so it didn't matter. I certainly wouldn't wash a quilt in it. Mildew started growing on the walls when the weather turned warmer and condensation started. She couldn't wait to get out of that place. I don't know why you are stuck going more primitive then Bethel but good luck.

Got fabric?
Best of luck. We lived off the grid for 7 years in the foothills of the Rockies in Montana. It takes a very different mind-set to live that way. Your whole daily routine will be changed. Enjoy the experience.
How I envy you!!! My daughter and son-in-law lived in Alaska and we visited and did not want to come home. So beautiful! We had to fly in too. I remember Skagway having a great quilt shop and of course Juneau too. Don't know about ordering but I'm sure there are locals who can give you help. Please keep us informed on your adventure. Just a couple questions if you care to share...are you teaching or working with the national parks?
from the other comments, I would go to thrift shops and buy used blankets or quilts or bedspreads If everything is going to get stained from the water. I can see why your husband doesn't want you to take your nice things. Even used sleeping bags would provide cover and warmth.
I gave my LAQ wool batting (Hobbs Heirloom) and she liked it so much after quilting my quilt that she ordered a giant roll of it.
You're not just moving to Alaska, you are moving to the boonies... in Alaska. Each thing on it's own is quite an adventure, combined is... wow. I imagine anything shipped, even if it was free on the first leg of the journey, is going to cost to get it out by boat or plane to you.
One thing is for sure... take that cold very, very seriously. My brother lives in Fairbanks and is a police officer. The things he has told me.... brrrr! They do all sorts of things we've never even thought of to keep functioning in the freezing temperatures. The other day he wrote about how nice it was that things had warmed up finally to -20 below zero!
Wishing you a good and safe experience!
Lara B.
Let's try to be more positive. She has to go no matter what, and by now she knows what the conditions are.
I just checked Connecting Threads web site and they DO ship to Alaska. There is a chart that shows the shipping costs. I have to say, you have a lot of guts. I hate the cold in Kansas. I can't imagine living in Alaska. (I just can't get warm enough) I wish you well like all the others and hope you wil let us hear about your adventures. I understand you wanting to be with your hubby up there. Let us know all the daily details about living in Alaska, you know, like a daily diary. It will be an adventure for all of us too.
Don't forget to check out the quilt shops in Alaska.
Alaska is a beautiful place, and don't freak out about the water. Some water systems have minerals in them, but you'll probably be on a well, and there is some gloriously clear clean water up here. If you do have a problem with your water, ask the locals what they do. Those of us who live here LOVE it for the most part, and there is a very large quilting community statewide. I'll bet you'll find quilters in your area, and they'll take you under their wing. Stay positive, you can turn this into two of the best years of your life. Keep us posted!!
