The incentive to keep playing
Re: The incentive to keep playing
Re: The incentive to keep playing
I'm only level 12 right now on TLoU MP. The online is pretty good, but the fact that there's really only one mode limit replay value to me (I realize there are two, but they both sport the same objective).
Re: The incentive to keep playing
Some simple-but-elegant objective modes would be appreciated, as well as co-op of some kind.
Re: The incentive to keep playing
I know you didn't want the "fun" answer, but that's what it is.
I played 800 hours of UC2 online. Now, somewhere along the line, I pretty much saw everything Iw as gonna see. But it was still FUN to play, so I did.
With TLoU, I've recognised there are only two modes, like pdiss mentions. So, I play for an hour or so, then I simply turn it off. This will ensure I don't burn out before more modes. And we will have more modes.
I don't care for Co Op infected modes. Not sure I want to do that. But I want some Objective modes of one sort or another.

Here is the thing, Playing TLOU's multiplayer today seemed like a chore after getting the platinum last night. Don't get me wrong it's still better than most MPs I've played, it's just the lack of.. incentive to keep playing. What keeps you playing? Aside from the cheesy "fun" answer.
Why do you play any game? If you are doing it for the trophies then that would seem like a "chore" to me. Instead of enjoying the game you are tasking (Chore) yourself with doing certain things inside the game taking away from getting lost in the game and having fun. Sure, being a completionist can be fun, but if your only goal is to complete something, than of course once you "Complete" the objectives, you will feel there is nothing left to do.
So while you may think "Fun" is a cheesy answer, it is THE answer to the reason anyone would play any game (or replay a game). If there is no fun, whats the point in playing.
Re: The incentive to keep playing
I've found that what keeps me playing are my friends, and thats pretty much it. Other than that, its FUN. Its not really a cheesy answer seeing as thats why people play games...

First and foremost, check out the new Transformers: Fall of Cybertron trailer.
Pretty damn amazing, huh? There's just something about Optimus Prime's voice that gives me chills. Now that the goose bumps have settled let's get down to business.
This was the launch trailer for Transformers: Fall of Cybertron, a sequel to War for Cybertron, the highest rated Transformers game ever. The game follows the events of its predecessor as the Autobots struggle to defeat the Decepticons in a battle for their home planet of Cybertron.
In what looks to be an epic struggle, it will all unfold tomorrow when Transformers: Fall of Cybertron releases for Xbox 360, PS3, and PC. Do you plan on picking it up tomorrow?

A few simple precautions can keep you and your possessions secure overseas, writes former tour guide Mauricio Olmedo-Perez
When I was mugged by a gang of teenagers in Panama City it was a surprisingly civil transaction - and all over in less than a minute.
I was a tour guide and had worked throughout the region for a few years, travelling to some places renowned for their crime rates. Hotspots such as Guatemala, Honduras, Colombia, Mexico, Brazil ... well, to be honest you could probably list all the countries we visited as dodgy compared with New Zealand's crime rate.
I spent many years dealing with passengers being robbed, some at knifepoint, some with a gun. Some were assaulted, stabbed or shot at. Some were put in sleeper holds from behind and came round with all their possessions gone, common in Lima and Cuzco. Two of my former colleagues have even been killed in different incidents. I thought I'd seen it all and learned my lessons, but in my last month there I was mugged myself.
I'm a Chilean, born in Argentina, so I could normally blend in a little easier than some of my pastier-looking passengers. So, many times I'd walk through areas that tourists wouldn't; I'd dress down and try and look local.
But I got cocky in Panama City, and wandered into an area I didn't know much about. It was the middle of the day, and there were lots of people about, but a gang of about six teenagers surrounded me and told me to hand over my money. What I'd learned was to always stay calm, which no matter how tough you are, is a very difficult thing to do. But not panicking or getting angry is the key to getting out of these situations without injury. You do as you are told, never argue, and try to make the situation finish as soon as possible. I gave them my wallet and my camera, they checked my pockets, pushed me around a bit, but the transaction was surprisingly businesslike and over in a flash.
I was shaken, as you never know what these guys are on or what they're carrying. But I was also happy that some precautions I had taken had worked. I still had a US$20 note, which was folded over four times into a little square, tucked into my sock. I had given them my dummy wallet, which had an expired credit card and a few small notes worth about $5. My camera was insured. I wasn't wearing any jewellery, no watch, no phone, no passport (just a copy of it in my back pocket) and that's it. I hopped into the first taxi I saw, (US$20 will get you far in most developing countries) and headed straight to the hotel, grabbed my passport and then went to the police station.
On last year's All Blacks visit to Buenos Aires, two senior Kiwi rugby officials were mugged. On the same trip my TVNZ colleague Steve Marshall had his camera gear nicked by a couple of blokes on a scooter. Latin America is definitely my favourite region in the world. But many a traveller has seen the dark side of the place and, because crime can happen anywhere, anytime, to anyone, you should prepare for the worst.
In the end I was lucky that things didn't turn nasty. So were the Kiwis robbed in Buenos Aires last year. For many people, especially first timers, you have to plan ahead. Read about the airport you're arriving in, check out forums, don't just depend on guidebooks. In a crowded, chaotic place like Guatemala, for instance, you will be harassed by touts, taxi drivers and thieves. If you look lost, you're vulnerable so a good step is to just take your time. You'll be tired from a long flight so your guard could be down.
Also though not officially thieves, some taxi drivers in foreign lands might as well be robbing you because they'll charge you far too much. They just want you in the car to get a fare. In most parts of the world, paying extra for an airport-controlled driver rather than a cowboy will be worth it. Then you know where you'll be heading. At the very least get the info desk to write you out your destination in the local language.
Once at the hotel, it's up to you if leave your valuables in a safe behind the desk. I mostly do, but remember there are no guarantees. Normally there will be signs saying they can't take responsibility if your possessions are stolen. One hotel I stayed in the Bolivian capital La Paz was held up, and the only target of the armed robbers was the tourist safe. And this happens more than you think.
And your hotel room can be a gold mine for cleaners. Many people take everything out of their packs. For some hotel workers a valuable camera could be worth many months of their wages. If you really need to keep something safe, try this trick: stick it in your dirty laundry bag - very effective in hot countries.
Get a security pouch or belt, they help, but also be realistic. Thieves, especially ones who target tourists, know that we have them and will get at them if they want, but remember crime normally happens quickly so the more discreet you can be with your pouch, the better. I used to sew a little secret pocket into my jeans, one that is away from the other pockets. If you're a woman, your bra is ideal.
Don't take jewellery - what's the point? Many times people take jewellery that's not worth anything. But do you think a thief will know if jewellery or a watch isn't worth much from a distance? They'll see something shiny, something that they want to take and we're talking about prevention here, not getting mugged for something worthless. Don't bother taking it, dress down, be simple, what's the point of being flashy in a developing country?
Going out for the first time is a vital time. I had loads of passengers in Rio mugged near their hotels, simply because it's a good hunting ground for thieves, and you don't know the area well. Get directions from the desk, ask if it's safe and what they recommend. Always take a card or brochure from the hotel which has the address of the place. Check your map before you go out - you're a sitting duck walking around with your map out in the open: "Yes, I am a tourist who has no idea where I am." Try to be subtle so you at least look like you know where you're going.
What to take with you: As little as possible. A camera is replaceable, so take it. As for a passport, I never take it anywhere, even if recommended. Always take a copy, it's the last thing you want to lose. It also gets manky in hot countries and can be bulky to carry. Yes, in some places it's the law, but let's face it, if you do have a brush with the law and it gets to the point of your passport having to be shown, tell them it's at the hotel. In Peru I've known passports to be taken (illegally) by police and used to extort money.
I've painted a grim picture, but remember it's all about prevention. You'll want to return to Latin America, it truly is an amazing place. If you're cautious you'll have a great time.. But you're not invincible and even if you've been many times and never had an issue, crime can still happen to you.

I disagree, naturally. Nationality is based on grandparents, ie, to be English you have to have grandparents born in England - this was the ruling for non-English immigrants in 1950-60s, you can however be british regardless of where your grandparents are born so long as you yourself are born in Britain, etc. And unfortunately, if groups of foreign descent are acting against interests of the host nation it will be reasonable for host nation to take steps to rid themselves of the problem.

News report published in a section of news media says that the UK Home Minister has expressed unhappiness to the US on 24 May 2017 or around over leakage of the information regarding the terror attack in Manchester , England. The sharing of intelligence information was , however, later reportedly resumed. At the same time around 28 May 2017 , German Chancellor , Angela Merkel is reported to have indicated that Europe can no longer completely rely on US in the wake of election of Donald Trump. Precisely related to these developments obviously having US in focus , readers may like to know this Vedic astrology writer's alert for US in article -- " Astrological probable alerts for US in 2017" - submitted in September and published in December 2016 issue of wisdom-magazine.com. Link: wisdom-magazine.com/Article.aspx/4387/. The alert so published reads : - " The months August-September or before in 2017 may raise national issues. Postures of friendly countries are likely to trend to be less warm causing substantial concern or TURMOILS IN FRIENDLY COUNTRIES MAY IMPACT US". It seems the alert has been implied , precise and to the point as the prediction was that postures between US and friendly countries could trend for the time being not as warm as before in view of certain developments during August-September or before in 2017.

A silly comment. If they are guilty of something then imprison them. You can't just deport someone unless the other country is prepared to accept them, and you can't just take a different nationality because you feel like it, regardless of your parents' nationality.

Whether it's IMUK, IM Wales, Outlaw, Challenge, The Brutal, Forestman, The Big Woody or you're jumping on a plane or a train to foreign fields, hopefully this thread can be as successful as last year's was. I really valued this as a melting pot for views, opinions, wibbles, hints, advice & experience. The "Fink for Outlaw" thread feels a bit narrow, so hopefully this can be a busy place to share your journey!
So who's doing what this year?
slower: IM Wales
With Outlaw being early this year, there's lots of scope to do 2 events, isn't there. Looks like being a nice summer.
Lovely of you both to contribute, folks... although i'm worried about you dipping in, Max, tbh. You appear to be carrying some sort of injury curse around with you this year. I can hardly talk though. i've barely started 2012 training, but i've had more illness and injury in 2 months than in the whole of 2011.
So when's the fixie coming out?
slower: IM Wales
Slagiatt: IM Wales , Outlaw
Mrs SA Outlaw
SA IM Wales, but have got Manchester marathon first, then The Hairy Arse, oh yes plus the DIY half IM, possibly looking at the Thunder Run as well
Its only when you put them down on these threads there looks to be loads I'm doing this year.
Me and Mrs SA are out at Jodrell Bank Cycle sportive next week first event of the year, 80 miles, haven't been out the bike enough, its gonna hurt, been doing loads of running, 18 mile this weekend, last weekend did first brick of the year, 15 mile bike followed by 15 mile run.
Just the Outlaw Iron Distance for me this year and I am not following Fink other than to ensure my long bike and run are long enough each week. Plan for the year is Beaver Middle, Outlaw, possibly the Thunder run with SA et al and then the Vit. I will throw in an Epic Events 3.8k swim or two as well in the lake district.
Haven't done a brick yet and haven't done a swim session of over an hour either. Did a 10 mile run before work today which is the longest of the year so far and I plan to increase it by a mile a week going forward. Longest bike so far is 3 hours but getting consistnet commuting miles in.
Not too bad on the injury front though which is key and my weight is back down to levels not seen for 6 years which is helping the running and hills on the bike. Decent consistentcy for a number of weeks now if less than massive individual sessions.
slower: IM Wales
Slagiatt: IM Wales , Outlaw
Mrs SA Outlaw
SA IM Wales
Darkness: Outlaw
On the injury front i've had ear issues that have pretty well kept me out of the pool for 2 months .. but back in the water from today barring further issues . Seem to have picked up a bit of a lower back issue after last weekends run.. but weirdly seems to ease off when training so bike and gym sessions have been ok this week ... will see how it feels on the run tomorrow.
summary of training efforts year to date .
Swim , maybe 2 decent (more than a mile) swims this year
Bike.. couple of longish turbo sessions, and an average of around 75 miles a week on the road, mainly comuting
Running.. Dismal .. longest run of 7 miles .. took 1hr 20 + ... On a brighter note the longest id done before IMW last year was just over 10 miles.. and i only managed that the once a few weeks before race day. So by that standard i am actually way ahead of plan
Got outlaw lined up and hopefully thunderun with a few halfs and other running races this year but wedding 14th Aprial so thats the biggest thing planned. With look should have a few marathons and maybe a sneaky half ironman or two once I've setalled down and know what I'm doing (would a first)
slower: IM Wales
Slagiatt: IM Wales , Outlaw
Mrs SA Outlaw
SA IM Wales
Darkness: Outlaw
Cake Outlaw
For anyone thats not doing Outlaw, if you volunteer (Pirate feed station) you get free entry into any of the swim events the day before Outlaw, I will be attempting the 5k one
kittenkat wrote (see)
what !!! and pass up the opportunity to hang out with the Pirate massive ?? surely not . Hope you get your outlaw mojo back soon KK .
Outlaw but I'm close to pulling out, not because I'm injured or can't do it, but because I've lost the drive to actually want to do it.
But I'm working through that with some sage advice from good friends.
We'll see.
Nice one STIL, good thread.

Hope: Outlaw
Jaffa: Outlaw
It was always my plan to have a year off long distance tri this year, then the Pirate ship setting sail for Outlaw made me think twice, it should be a good party and I feel I need to earn the right to party so I've entered.
Going to blag it off the back of no structured training though, got a couple of marathons coming up in the next 7 weeks and then LeJog in 3 months time so that'll do. My swimming is so gash that spending any significant time on that won't make a huge amount of difference.

Missoula church grows, sells fall staple for a cause
MISSOULA, Mont. - The Missoula Alliance Church opened its 6th annual pumpkin patch today.
For the first time, church members have grown the pumpkins and they estimate a harvest of between 80- and 100,000 pounds of pumpkins -- roughly 40 tons. All from just two pounds of seed they ordered earlier this year.
That equals about 2,800 of the orange gourds for sale, with about 1,000 standing by to replenish stock.
Volunteer John Bradford says it's not just about providing a popular decoration.
"This year we have our proceeds going to two different projects. One is in El Salvador, the other is in China. Our desire is to send teams to these two countries and help with projects there -- humanitarian and spiritual work."
The pumpkin patch is open Saturdays from 10 a.m to 7 p.m and Sunday through Friday 1 p.m. to 7 p.m.

Spring has barely started, and I was expecting a few of the usual seasonal assaults to the eyeballs: crusty, dirty-nailed toes in open-toe sandals; lumpy bodies stuffed into spandex; out-of-towners making the lines longer at my favorite ice-cream joints and fish shacks. But before April was done, we had two surprises in Portland: topless women marching from Longfellow Square to the Old Port, and a bunch of open-carry gun lovers having an armed barbecue near Back Cove.
At the risk of offending either group, one of which could smother me and the other of which could ventilate me, both events were assaults to the eyeballs, and general sensibilities. Breasts are natural and wonderful and great for feeding babies as well as serving some pleasurable needs. Guns have their uses and their places. But these events were very much in the faces of the wider public, and unnecessarily so. (And then the people at each event professed surprise about why others might stare, protest, or complain.)
Both events put me in mind of a recent column by Tim Wise, a white guy who speaks very eloquently on race issues, who challenged readers to imagine how Americans would have reacted to the open-carry demonstrators recently in Washington DC, had they been mostly black folks armed to the teeth and talking about revolution.
I don't want to copy Wise, although I have to observe that many pro-Second Amendment Mainers would have freaked if a bunch of young Somali men had been sporting firearms in Back Cove.
Instead of simply reversing the skin colors, I want to alter the scripts.
Let's take some of those gun-rights advocates, many of whom weren't from Portland, and place them in their communities where it's not a big deal to walk around with a gun. Now let's have liberal activists who want to encourage sexual empowerment stage an event there openly displaying sex toys at a park. Sex toys aren't illegal. No one is having sex. Would conservative gun owners be comfortable with that? I have yet to hear of anyone escalating an argument with a sex toy, or having a vibrator accidentally put a hole through a child's head, or an angry spouse murdering his or her partner with a dildo.
And what about if some people angry at Vatican policies against birth control and abortion set up outside a big Catholic church on Sunday with a table full of condoms, Planned Parenthood brochures, and the like. Or maybe they get a little more radical and dress up like doctors, holding the tools needed to perform an abortion, and loudly proclaim the right of all women to terminate their pregnancies. Would anyone be surprised if those people were derided and accused of being aggressive?
Or maybe some people who are against drug laws could smoke a bunch of joints and bongs in Monument Square or the Old Port on a busy summer day when families are out enjoying the sun. Even if it was tobacco being used and not pot, wouldn't people be justifiably angered at creation of an awkward and uncomfortable scene?
Yes, baring one's breasts in Maine is not against the law. Nor is openly carrying a firearm. But the fact that it's legal doesn't make it appropriate to flaunt your goods among people who consider breasts private parts, or to have loaded guns and boast that you have 12 rounds in the clip and one in the chamber, while telling people they shouldn't be afraid of you. Context is important. And so is common sense.

Alissa's score is high too. I don't mind as long as they are consistent
What did Rachel get in her SP at Skate America, she had a fall there on the tail end of her triple-triple?
Her jumps were clean, but not perfect tonight.
Ah, I got full screen by right-clicking. Thanks for the encouragement, N!
Can't believe I missed Rachael!!! Go Mirai!!!
Ah Nagasu and Zhang are in this group
That Andrea Joyce is tormenting Alissa... Alissa is barely able to keep it in... That witch Joyce!
oh my, Alissa almost lost her composure during her interview with Andrea Joyce. Heartbreaking! Tears were welling up in her eyes and she almost couldn't talk . . . so sad.

Over the weekend, my cousin and I did a cut out. Some bees had established a colony between floors, and were using a hole in an exterior wall as an entrance/exit. We did not use a bee vac, and the cutout seemed to go well. We strapped the brood comb in some frames, and put the frames in a nuc. There was quite a bit of brood comb, but not a lot of honey.
Some of the bees, and probably the queen were clustered beyond reach. I explained to the home owner the bees would probably move to the brood combs very soon.
We left the brood combs in the nuc overnight, and sometime the next day, the remaining bees moved to the nuc. I stopped by around 7:00 the next day, everything seemed great. The bees were using the nuc just fine. What I would consider normal activity.
Returned around midnight and packed up the nuc. It was about a 10 minute drive home. The only time they made any noise was when I set the nuc on the hive stand. Normal buzz alarm. Then I put on an internal feeder.
But, in the two days since, very, very few bees have left the hive. Once about eight bees came near the entrance and did a mini "washboard" then went back in. Other times a few bees will poke their heads out, look around, then scurry back in.
Is this normal for a cutout? Should I be worried that someone possibly sprayed the bees?

Actually nothing at all in this beetle trap.
Take a piece of plastic cardboard, glue a half dozen plastic straws to it, place it on the top bars of your hive. When you open your hive, take the unit and knock the beetles out of the straws into a bucket of soapy water.
This idea was brought up at our latest Empire State Honey Producers Assn. meeting by a guy from PA, Mark Antunes. I think he is a PA Apiary Inspector.
I'm going to try it on some colonies in SC and see what I get. Just thought y'all might like to hear of it. It's a management tool, not a treatment.

mail.gna.org was reinstalled with Debian Jessie.
Let us know if there's any issue.
This should be the last major system upgrade before long :)

Everything at Gna! but the mail system was upgraded to Debian Jessie. Let us know if you think something is wrong.
Some spam was also cleaned-up.

While we were quick to patch the Heartbleed attack, it took a little bit more time and administrative work to renew our https://gna.org/ and https://mail.gna.org/ certificates.
It is now a single and freshly issued multi-domain certificate issued by Comodo via Gandi. Although your preferred web browser will automatically trust it, you're welcome to verify by yourself. The SHA fingerprint should read 94:69:D1:5B:B6:B0:64:08:E3:08:97:3B:6A:9F:5F:9E:54:22:D1:D5.

Gna! was patched to address the recent openssl "heartbleed" vulnerability.
Gna! has been running a vulnerable version since up to 2 months, and the attacker could silently retreive information from part of the system memory, including credentials and private https keys.
As a safety measure, we removed the current sessions (so you need to reconnect), and are in the process of renewing the https certificate.
Changing your password is also recommended.

mail.gna.org was reinstalled with Debian Wheezy 64-bit.
As usual, let us know if there's any issue.
From the sysadmin's side, this was the last major system upgrade.
Now maybe we can go back to the programmer's side and think about fusionning with FusionForge :)

About one hour ago the service became unresponsive. This was quickly detected and a reboot was issued. Everything is back to normal.
Apparently this is due to a memory leak in one of the new daemons.
We're investigating!

dl.gna.org & home.gna.org was reinstalled with Debian Wheezy 64-bit. Let us know if there's any issue.
As previously mentionned the system now uses configuration management allowing automated reinstalls, and we even share the recipes - 100%-free-hosting spirit :)
Also we fixed firstname.lastname@example.com so a few of you will receive the first Gna! news by e-mail after a long hiatus :]

The VCS subsystem was reinstalled with Debian Wheezy 64-bit. Let us know if there's any issue.

We found a way do without our venerable CVS patches and upgrade to the latest version from Debian, from "stable" 1.11 to "feature" 1.12. Let us know if there's any issue.
Also, we plan to progressively deprecate CVS, since it's increasingly hazardous to maintain it. Today we disabled CVS for new projects. We're also thinking about how to archive or convert CVS repositories within the next few months. This probably involves providing Git repos :)

Learn how to draw a campfire using this easy step-by-step image tutorial.
Flick through the images one at a time and draw what you see.
When you get to the end you'll have a drawing to be super proud of!
Some Things To Keep In Mind…
These tutorials are only here to guide you. Your drawing does not need to look "identical" to mine.
Start with rough but light pencil strokes that you can work into the shapes you want.
Once you have your rough drawing completed, go over it in a darker stroke for your final drawing.
Add shading and/or color to complete if desired.
Using this technique you will be able to draw anything after some practice... even without following step-by-step tutorials.

Appartamento bellissimo e in posizione comoda,a 10 minuti a piedi dalla Sagrada Familia,dalla metro e a pochi minuti dalle fermate degli autobus.

Abbiamo passato una bellissima vacanza. La posizione è ottima per visitare la città in tutti i suoi angoli. La casa è ben organizzata, non manca nulla e la zona è tranquilla pur essendo centrale.
La consiglio a chiunque
CESC's appartment is really lovely, clean and recommendable. Although it is near to Barcelona's famous Sagrada Familia and well connected to the Busstop and Metrostation, you can calm down and relax here. The appartment ist a successfull mix of modern and functional furniture inside a typical, classical dwelling. The appartment is bright and friendly and it offers enough space for four people. Bathroom and kitchen are furnished generously. CESC is a really reliable renter and communication was easy. We hope to see him again and really enjoyed our days in Barcelona.

Welcome to the Quilting Board!
I signed up for a Sashiko class in March and it required Sashiko fabric which I didn't have. Now I have lots (and a frame and needles and thread and patterns and .....) lol
Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Fabric!
Irishrose: Yes CT had Mirage and solids on sale for $4. something the second of week in March and I have the invoice to prove it. I really like the Mirage "sueded look ". The worst is I am not quite happy with the purple I purchased, so will probably have to place another order for a deeper purple. Oh woe is me!
Got over my first hurdle for the month. I received a gift card to JoAnns for my birthday, which was burning a hole in my wallet. I went today and got a book, a ruler and a couple yards of interfacing, but no fabric.

tomorrow I begin making my daughter's prom gown...most of it came from stash!!
Well I fell off the wagon, again! My dh and I were on vacation in TX and on the way home we stopped at one of my favorite stores that is too far from home. Well of course I had to stop! I bought solids which I don't have much of and she gave me some old quilt magazines and patterns that she had in her store she was clearing out! So I bought some fabric for a baby and rickrack and a few odds and ends. I love to support the independent stores where I can. I felt good about it. Really got to stop buying now and start using it up some.
On a good note, yesterday I made some baby items for a shower. Everything came out of my stash for that. Also, I made a few mug rugs yesterday out of my stash.
I don't get to LQS very often - the closest one is over an hour away, so when I do I don't feel bad about making a purchase. I have gotten better about the amount I buy when I do go and have been using up a lot of my stash this winter. Haven't been to a LQS since Christmas! I think I am over due! Have been buying backing fabric via the internet in order to finish up some "stash quilts".
No one has ever become poor by giving. - Anne Frank
Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that. - Martin Luther King, Jr.
I have a helpful hint to keep you on the wagon. Shelve your stash. Spent two days puting fabric in two book cases that measure approx. 3 X 7 feet. They only held my greens, blues, reds and pinks. Then using wire racks on cement blocks I lined a walk in closet with the rest of my stash. UFO's and scraps have no home, plus I have a plastic storage container of fabric that won't fit on the already full shelves. Trust me, the last thing I want to do is buy more fabric. The up side is I can really see what is in my stash for the first time, but is it good to plan a quilt based on how much space you have on that shelf?
