HOUSTON -- When Mike D'Antoni interviewed with the Houston Rockets last summer, he met with team brass once in Houston and again at owner Leslie Alexander's home in Delray Beach, Florida.
D'Antoni pitched an idea that would either make or break his job pursuit: If he became coach of the Rockets, he would move James Harden to point guard.
Harden had played seven NBA seasons at shooting guard and was coming off a season in which he set career highs in scoring (29 points per game), assists (7.5) and rebounds (6.1).
But D'Antoni had been studying Harden's game and was convinced it was the right move to make.
"I told them I was [convinced], and then I wouldn't have gotten the job if he didn't want to do it, I know that much," D'Antoni said with a smile. "I'm sure they asked him, 'What do you think?' Watching him all last year, it just made sense."
D'Antoni found a receptive audience to his plan. Before D'Antoni interviewed for the job, Rockets officials had an idea Harden could indeed play point guard. For years, Alexander had wanted the team to play an up-tempo style where 3-pointers, layups and pick-and-rolls were the pulse of the offense. It was just a matter of finding someone who could bring it together.
The main concern expressed by Rockets officials was the potential physical toll it would take on Harden, who had led the NBA in total minutes the previous two seasons.
There also was some uncertainty about whether it would indeed work with Harden. Yes, the Rockets believed he was an excellent passer, demonstrated by his then-career high 7.5 assists per game the previous season, but could he really do this over a full 82-game schedule? Harden was used to having the ball in his hands -- he touched the ball 85.1 percent of the time last season -- but this was still a major change.
"He felt like James, being the best player, rather than be off the ball, he should be on the ball from the start," Rockets GM Daryl Morey told ESPN. "He wanted to utilize his talents. There was concern about the burden on James, but credit Mike, because he knows his system and he sold it to James."
Selling the move to Harden proved to be easy.
D'Antoni and Harden had worked together before. D'Antoni was an assistant coach with Team USA's 2012 Olympic team that won a gold medal in London, a team that Harden had played on as a 22-year-old. Harden and D'Antoni enjoyed chatting about basketball, never knowing they would be with the same NBA team one day.
"We've always had good talks about basketball," Harden said. "I've known him, and we have a good understanding of each other and what he wants on the basketball court."
For the past five seasons, Harden has carved a place in the NBA as one of its elite scorers. But it's Harden's ball-handling and passing skills -- he's devastating out of the pick-and-roll -- that make him so good. When he's not scoring, which was the case early in Game 1 of the Western Conference playoff series against the Oklahoma City Thunder on Sunday night, he can impact the game in other ways.
Most assists as pick-and-roll ball handler
In the victory over the Thunder, he generated 59 points from either scoring or passing. The Rockets went 9-of-10 shooting off his passes.
"He knows it's go time, and he was really on fire; it's like what else can you ask for?" teammate Eric Gordon said. "He makes good effort on both ends. When he's knocking down shots, he will make it tough on the other team."
The Rockets' point guard led the NBA by either scoring or assisting on 56.2 points per game. (Harden averaged 29.1 points and generated 27.1 points off of assists.) That's just shy of the per-game record set by Nate Archibald (56.8) in 1972-73, though Harden played 81 games this season compared to 80 for Archibald that season, so Harden's total generated points for the season were the most in history at 4,554 (10 more than Archibald).
Highest average total points created
While the Rockets have found success with Harden in this role, rolling to the third seed in the West, even D'Antoni has marveled at how well his experiment has gone. The coach didn't know if Ryan Anderson, Trevor Ariza, Patrick Beverley and Gordon all could make the necessary plays from outside.
"A little risky," D'Antoni said. "His skill set screams it. He even went further with it than I thought."
Harden opens the way for Houston's outside shooters, such as Anderson and Gordon, to get cleaner looks from deep. Anderson, who is averaging a career-high 19.6 feet per shot, is shooting .398 from 3-point range, higher than his career average of .380.
Gordon also is setting a career high in shot distance, now at 18.6 after averaging 15 feet for his career. D'Antoni doesn't necessarily plan for his shooters to go farther out for shots, but his system allows for them to spread out in the halfcourt. When Harden has the ball and drives the lane the help side defender must make a decision: leave Gordon or Anderson open, or stop Harden?
"I think that's his strength: that he reads the game," D'Antoni said. "If we need 40 from him because they do a lot of switching, he gets 40. If they're not doing a lot of switching, he can do the hockey pass, which he doesn't get credit for, or make the determining pass, which he does. He will do that. He will do whatever it takes to make our offense really good, and that's why we average a lot of points all year, because he does what needs to be done. He's one of the best at it that I've ever seen."
With Anderson and Gordon spread out farther from the 3-point line, it makes it difficult for defenders trying to close out because they must travel a longer distance to the shooter.
"Very easy; he's either making a bunch of plays [for others], or he's scoring himself," Gordon said of how Harden conducts his on-court business. "You've got to pick your poison on who to stop."
When D'Antoni moved Harden to full-time point guard, the thinking was this team would go faster. To the eye test, it almost appears the Rockets move slower with Harden at point guard -- though the team's average offensive speed in mph remains essentially the same (4.42 this season, 4.41 last season).
From the first day of the regular season, Harden took a measured approach to setting up the offense. Harden often looks to make long passes to teammates who get down the floor for layup attempts. It's those home run plays that sometimes lead to high turnovers, but D'Antoni will accept it knowing the overall success rate. The Rockets' pace with Harden on the floor, measured as possessions per 48 minutes, is 117.0 compared to 110.3 when he's off the floor.
Beverley said he's never had a problem with moving to off guard because when he plays on the second team, he returns to point guard and Gordon or Lou Williams plays shooting guard.
Morey has noticed how it's allowed for a smooth rotation as well.
"The second group has been good with Pat on the floor," Morey said. "To me it shows how much of a team player Pat is. He wants to win, and if anything else, you saw what he did in Game 1."
In Game 1 of the Thunder series, Beverley scored a playoff career-high 21 points along with 10 rebounds.
"I remember one of the first words Coach D'Antoni shared with us as a coaching staff and the team was the word 'rhythm.' Every point guard he's coached had his own rhythm," Rockets assistant coach Brett Gunning said. "He was never concerned with the speed. His concern was we got into a rhythm that James was comfortable with."
That rhythm also allows Harden to pair up with his two centers, starter Clint Capela and his backup, the 15-year veteran Nene Hilario.
According to ESPN Stats & Information research, Capela is shooting 75 percent on passes from Harden and 55 percent on all other field goal attempts. Nene is shooting 70 percent on passes from Harden and 57 percent on other attempts.
Harden also led the NBA with 457 assists on pick-and-roll plays. Harden's ability to read his teammates, whether it's a lob pass to Capela at the rim or a bounce pass to Nene as he drives to the basket, gives opponents fits.
Of his assists in the pick-and-roll, 217 have gone to the roller, 185 to a spot-up shooter, with 55 going to someone cutting to the basket.
"When you understand basketball -- and I have two guys (Beverley is the other player) who understand basketball -- it makes it easier," Nene said. "It's about angles and when to pass. I try to read him and his reaction to who is playing him and try to be in the right time and place, and he looks for you. You've got to help him, and that's what I try to do, is help him because he's the man. If I make his life easier, he makes my life easier."
Gunning said Harden is very good at anticipating where his teammates will be on the floor. There are times when Harden will make a no-look pass in traffic to Nene cutting to the basket or Ariza for a corner 3-pointer before the defense can get set.
Harden said he never really had a conversation with D'Antoni about making his teammates better because that's what a playmaker is supposed to do. Harden has developed an ability to find teammates to make shots, create his own shot and rebound on both ends.
"As long as I go out there and do what I do at a high level, everybody eats," Harden said.

Anti-Aliasing Tweaks
Horizontal kerning is pretty easy in Photoshop: use the Alt or Cmd + arrow key combination, adjust at will, repeat as necessary. But what about vertical kerning?
The problem is this: it's relatively easy to match kerning between words in Photoshop by using the built-in kerning controls. Adjusting anti-aliasing requires a bit more effort, but it remains completely do-able.
However, there seems to be a built-in dependency on where you set type on the canvas which I can only describe as a vertical anti-aliasing starting point. It appears that the fine adjustment of horizontal letter-spacing isn't enough control, as baselines can either fall on a precise pixel, or on a percentage point somewhere between two pixels.
In the first image to the left, the two lines of type have been kerned equally. The top example is crisper, whereas the bottom example is fuzzy, particularly around the bottom of each letterform.
In the second image to the left, the two "e" letterforms have been scaled up a few hundred percent, and in the bottom row a white grid has been overlaid. This close-up shows that the left "e" has a more solid letterform, especially on the horizontal strokes (the crossbar, the stroke under the bottom counter). The right "e" has much heavier horizontal strokes, anti-aliased across two pixels, and looks more blurry and wispy.
The main difference between these type examples is where they were set on the canvas with the type tool. What appears to be happening is that the starting point can either be an integer pixel value — and thus render closer to the pixel grid, as in the first example — or a fractional pixel value, which throws the entire letterform slightly off the pixel grid.
So the problem then, is how to control this? Once type is set, horizontal adjustment is possible in sub-pixel values thanks to the kerning tools. But vertical adjustment only appears to be possible with the Move tool, which operates on whole-pixel values.
The only solution I can see is to keep re-setting with the Type tool, and hope that through trial and error it'll eventually set properly. Someone tell me there's an easier way.
And there is an easier way. The answer comes from Scott Gould:
You can move text vertically in sub-pixels, as long as you're editing the text in question (i.e. text is highlighted or there's a text cursor flashing away), by using the Ctrl/Apple key temporary move tool. For reasons that sorta, kinda make sense, this won't work on "Sharp" or "Crisp" antialiasing. With "Strong" or "Smooth", you're all set.
Works great, thanks Scott.

Ghosts of the Orange Bowl: Joe Auer
In the 46-year history of the Miami Dolphins, Joe Auer holds a special distinction that can never be erased from the record books. He scored the first touchdown in franchise history. But if you thought it was his only heroics at the Orange Bowl, you don't know Joe Auer.
On September 2, 1966 the Dolphins played their first game as an expansion team in the American Football League. The opponent was the Oakland Raiders and only 26,276 fans showed up on a humid evening at the Orange Bowl. Miami's Joe Auer fielded the opening kickoff and raced 95 yards for a touchdown. The Dolphins lost the game 23-14. But the only thing people will remember is Auer's touchdown.
As the years have gone by, Auer's legend has grown. If you saw him walking down the street, you may not recognize the 70-year-old Auer. But once people find out who he is, he hears the stories of his touchdown all the time. Auer once joked how hundreds of times people have approached him who claimed they were at the Orange Bowl that night. He said he must have heard from more people about that game than who actually attended. You would have thought the Orange Bowl was packed with 70,000 people.
The 1966 Dolphins were a ragtag bunch made of journeymen, rejects, misfits and unqualified rookies. Auer was the Dolphins best player, leading the team in rushing with 414 yards and scoring with 9 touchdowns. He was named team MVP on a squad that finished in last place with a 3-11 record. The roster was filled with colorful characters including linebacker Wahoo McDaniel, a full-blooded native American who later became more well known as a professional wrestler. Fullback Cookie Gilchrist had been an All-AFL player with the Buffalo Bills, but was well past his prime by the time he played for Miami. The team was coached by George Wilson whose son, George Jr., was also the Dolphins starting quarterback. The Dolphins were so low on the pro football totem pole, they couldn't even sign their first round draft pick Jim Grabowski, a fullback from the University of Illinois. Only two members of the entire 1966 team would survive long enough to see the Dolphins reach Super Bowl glory in the early 1970s--offensive lineman Norm Evans and receiver Howard Twilley.
Eight years before Auer ever suited up for the Dolphins, he was a schoolboy hero at Coral Gables High School. During his senior year in 1958, he was member of a state championship team at Coral Gables coached by Nick Kotys. The Miami Herald named Auer to its All City Team as a defensive back. His most memorable high school moment came in the big rivalry game against Miami High in the Orange Bowl. He returned the opening kickoff for a touchdown and Coral Gables beat the Stingarees 13-12. Auer played in an era when high school football was the biggest event in town. He sometimes played in front of larger crowds at the Orange Bowl in high school than he did with the Dolphins.
After graduating from high school, Auer went on to a fine college career at Georgia Tech while playing for another legendary coach Bobby Dodd. He played two seasons with the Buffalo Bills in the AFL before joining the Dolphins in 1966. He finished his pro career with the Atlanta Falcons in 1968. During his two seasons with the Dolphins, Auer achieved another interesting trivial distinction. He caught the first touchdown pass thrown by rookie Bob Griese in 1967 in a victory of the Denver Broncos at the Orange Bowl.
When his football career ended, Auer felt he needed something to keep his competitive juices flowing. Auer had earned his degree at Georgia Tech in mechanical engineering and he was ready to put it to use. He had always been a fan of auto racing and cars in general. He founded his own company called Racecar Engineering which built race cars that would set many track records in NASCAR and other forms of racing. Auer later founded another company called Competitive Edge Motorsports which produced cars that competed in the Busch and Nextel series in NASCAR. Today he is the president of International Computer Negotiations.

AUBURN HILLS, MICH. -- Manny Harris is back in wine and gold. For now, at least, it's as a member of the Canton Charge.
The shooting guard, released last week by the Cavaliers, has been added to the club's NBA Development League roster. The parent team, however, holds no exclusive rights to him and Harris could be signed by another NBA team.
Cavaliers coach Byron Scott said he's pleased Harris will be in Canton where the franchise can "keep tabs on him," but steered clear of predicting whether the club would re-sign him.
"I haven't really thought of that," Scott said
The 22-year-old missed the entire training camp due to a bizarre mishap at the Nike training facility in Oregon a month ago. He suffered a freezer burn on the outside of his right foot while in a cooling chamber designed to accelerate the recovery process from injuries and workouts.
It's believed Harris wore wet socks into the chamber -- a New Age version of the ice bath -- and a sock stuck to his foot, causing the burn. Temperatures inside the machine can dip to minus-166 in just three minutes. Sources told CNBC the sock was indeed the culprit.
Harris is still working to regain his health and it's believed he's still about a week away from playing. The Cavaliers chose to keep Mychel Thompson on the roster rather than Harris, who played in 54 games with the club last season. Scott said the injury played at least a part in the final decision. Harris cleared waivers Saturday, making him an unrestricted free agent.
He won't play tonight in Canton, but another former Cav will be on the court. Ricky Davis, 32, has signed to play for the Maine Red Claws.
Weighty topic: Cavaliers reserve Samardo Samuels arrived at the lockout-shortened training camp out of shape, his coach said.
The full-bodied forward disputes the coach's assessment, but says if his conditioning was an issue, he wasn't alone.
"Everyone came back out of shape, the lockout went long," said Samuels, who's listed at 6-9, 260 pounds -- or about what he weighed last season. "I don't think [anybody] came in great shape.
"He's the coach, if he thinks I could have been in better shape, that's his opinion. I think I'm in pretty good shape and ready to go."
Samuels said he felt more fit going through this training camp than the one last season. Then again, Scott scaled back his camp to guard against injuries and fatigue in this condensed season.
Scott did not play Samuels in the opener on Monday, but said the backup has not fallen out of favor with him. Samuels did play Wednesday night against the Pistons.
"I don't have a doghouse," Scott said. "I just didn't think he came [into camp] in the type of shape he needed to come in. He also says he was frustrated with the lockout so he kind of stopped working out. That's basically the main thing, just getting him back up to speed, especially on the conditioning part."
Cavaliers fans will recall how Shawn Kemp ballooned during the 1998-99 lockout. That's not the case here. Scott said Samuels is close to the desired fitness level, but "he's still not there."
The coach said most of his players arrived at camp in "relatively good" shape.
Long travel day: The Cavaliers spent six-plus hours sitting on the tarmac in Cleveland because of mechanical issues with their chartered flight on Tuesday.
Because the players and coaches had gone through security screening, they were not allowed to deplane. Nobody could believe the delay was so lengthy.
"I talked to my wife when [the delay] first happened and then I fell asleep," guard Anthony Parker said. "When I woke up, I figured we would either be there or at least in the air. We hadn't moved.
"I didn't mind staying on the plane because it was cold and snowy outside and we had plenty of room on board. You hate waiting that long, but you know what they say, 'Safety first.' "
The Cavaliers, scheduled to take off at 3:30 p.m., finally arrived in Detroit at 11 p.m.

Darwin is often described as Australia's gateway to Asia, but to get their produce to the Asian market mango growers just outside Darwin have to send most of their produce south to other cities such as Brisbane and Sydney to then have it sent overseas. It's odd and there are plans to try and fix it as growers try to tap into increasing opportunities overseas.
Discuss some of the issues facing Mango growers in Darwin?

i enjoy evey single step from here...
Every Wrinkle has the tale of enlightens
Life is nothing but just a Smoke and Ashes........
Whenever I go through the stress and confusion, morning walk always showed up some kind of relief to me though I know it is impermanent.
I take my friends along to walk with me. I would share every single steps and reach the place where I wanted to take a long breath. Choosing the place for the morning walk has always remained a kind of confusion since there are different people with different likes. But most of the time I would suggest them to walk through the way of the Pashupatinath temple. I love that place for every reason I have. Being a Buddhist, people around me questions "why do I often go to this place every morning".
But I never dare to ask anyone why do they consume Italian, Chinese ,Korean, Thai food when they have such a rich traditional food of their own…its just a matter of people's like and dislike. No one should interfere in other's life and their choices. Knowing that I have to answer this stupid question, I turned to them, try to smile and say "I go there because I want and I do what my heart says".
There are many different kind of people around us. But basically we can divide then into two sections, one who lives their own life and another who likes to know what's going on other's life. So it's very important to know where we are accepted.
I walked the every single step to pashupatinath with full interest. Looking around the place and talking with the person who with was me. I would ask every stupid and nonsense questions through the way just to make my companion to stay lively. We would laugh, and giggle with silly things that go around. As soon as i arrived in the middle of the way, I could see a bridge which seems constructed along ago. The bridge is beautifully decorated with the Buddhist praying flags, with the mantras printed on its every piece of cloth. The people from every age and ever caste can be seen practicing the ritual activities performing in the temples around the place. One can easily see the people touching their hand to their heart and head and then back to the statue of the god and goddess. This is simply a serene feeling which can only be felt. Very small kids can be seen around with their parents. When observed closely, more than the god and goddess, the kids were more interested to have a look at the monkeys hopping, running and jumping around them. A kind of scared looks can be easily observed in kids face. The kids hardly leave their parents finger while they watched the monkeys.
I saw a couple just beside me. They looked well matched for each other. The woman who looked around 20's seems very much excited about her new life. She often gave a sweet smile to her newly married husband but talk less. A beautiful Mehindi print on her hands beautifies her beauty which I think is a symbol of a married woman. She was dressed in fully red Kurtha, had a long way of sindoor on her head. She had a modern hair cut above the shoulder and curled. The sound of the red bangles made everyone knows that she is a woman now heading to a new phase of life.The couple talked in a low voice and left with the slow walk.
I was about the leave the place when I saw an old woman of around above 70's sitting at the corner with a plastic polythene bag in front of her. When I went near and near, I could see rice, countable of coins, few notes of rupees. She looked at me and straighten her hand towards me and was saying something in a low voice. I went near to her and handed a note and took the chance to ask if anyone comes to take her in the evening, with the tears in her eyes she replied "babu mero yo sansar ma kohi pani chaina. "I could not dare to ask further knowing that she won't stop her tears. But somewhere down the line, there was kind of feeling in me that she isn't the way she is now. I sense that she has children who have abandoned her and left there which is a sad and reality of the new generation.
Far more things can be observed in this place. If I keep in writing the person reading this note will dozed in front of the computer. Well I have to end up one of my day of morning walk here …..will catch up later in next subject…

Spooky Old Church Converted Into One Very Unique Home
Church buildings are all the time lovely. From the previous gothic styled church buildings as much as the basic american white washed chapel. Perhaps it's the reminiscences of church actions, worship, sermons, picnics and potlucks that give me the nice and cozy and fuzzy feeling of an previous acquainted pal each time I stroll into one. This church has been transformed into a house and it's lovely, intricately made piece of artwork.
Have a look via the pictures. The grounds are lovely. It's entered by way of a stunning stone archway and consists of plenty of inexperienced area and a cemetery. Sure a cemetery. How many individuals have you learnt with a cemetery of their yard? That's the one factor that makes it spooky.
The kitchen is superb. It has the unique stained glass and statuary above the sink. The previous sanctuary has been was an unlimited front room. I might love this place, however I don't assume we will transfer to England anytime quickly. Take a look at these different extraordinary church buildings. Not transformed into houses however breathtaking.

Giants wideout Victor Cruz appears likely to return to practice after a long string of injuries that have kept him off the field.
The New York Giants placed three players on their Physically Unable to Perform (PUP) list on Thursday, and Victor Cruz was not one of them.
According to multiple reports, Cruz, who missed the entire 2015 season with a calf injury and the majority of 2014 with a torn patellar tendon, has been working out in full over the summer. After passing his Thursday conditioning test, the star wideout will be present and available at Giants practice on Friday.
Cruz, 29, has not played a game since Week 6 of the 2014 season. He is expected to join Odell Beckham Jr. and rookie Sterling Shepard to lead New York's receiving corps.
Defensive tackles Damon Harrison and Jay Bromley and linebacker J.T. Thomas will open the preseason on the PUP list.
Cruz made the Pro Bowl in 2012.

(Reuters) - U.S. federal prosecutors are conducting an extensive investigation into global sports corruption, including at FIFA, the world governing body for soccer, and the international and U.S. Olympics organizations, The New York Times reported on Wednesday, citing a grand jury subpoena.
As part of the probe, the Justice Department is looking at possible racketeering, money laundering and fraud charges related to two track and field world championship events and the business executives who have consulted on bids for various other elite competitions, according to the subpoena, the Times reported.
The investigation is being conducted by the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Eastern District of New York in Brooklyn, which has previously investigated FIFA and systematic doping in Russia.
A spokesman for the U.S. Attorney's office declined to comment on the report.
The subpoena, one of a number that were delivered in January, solicited documents, testimony and financial records dating to 2013, the Times reported.
Since then, the United States has won bids to host the 2021 track and field world championships in Eugene, Oregon and the 2028 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles.
The subpoena did not explicitly refer to the Los Angeles Olympics bid, but did focus on the world governing body for track and field, the International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF), the newspaper said.
The IAAF awarded the sport's 2019 world championships to Doha, Qatar, and the 2021 event to Eugene.
The people asked to provide information, including personal and corporate bank records, were expected to appear in federal court in Brooklyn as soon as this week, the Times reported.
A spokesman for the United States Olympic Committee declined to comment on Wednesday and a spokesman for the International Olympic Committee did not immediately respond to a request, the newspaper reported. A spokeswoman for the IAAF said it had not been contacted by U.S. investigators.

Patricia's Desire Book Three of Beauty's Stone Beast Series by Shiloh Darke
Publisher: Gypsy Shadow Publishing
Genre: Contemporary, Paranormal
Length: Short Story (53 pgs)
Other: M/F
Rating: 4.5 cherries
Reviewed by Mistletoe
A Love to Protect
Corentin, the third brother cursed to live as a Gargoyle has given up on love. He knows not if it will ever come to him and he does not believe himself worthy of it.
When Patricia flees an abusive boyfriend to find her way to her best friends, who have invited her to come to France, the last thing she expects is to find is love in the arms of a gentle giant.
Amidst the painful memories from their pasts, they find a passion that consumes them from the beginning. It forces both of their reservations and fears to the side as love finds its way into not only their hearts, but their very souls.
When Patricia has finally had enough of her abusive boyfriend she decides to join her best friends in Paris. Is she brave enough to try and get away from David? Can Patricia make it away from him or will David stop her?
This short story was definitely a page-turner for this reader. I was pulled in to the story right from the beginning. Patricia is a very strong-willed and smart woman. With the help of her two best friends she is fighting her way back to herself and to the way she was before. Corentin is a great hero. He comes off as brooding and mean but underneath it all, he has a heart of gold. It seems that he needs a bit of coaxing to bring it out again and hopefully Patricia will be the one to do that.
Both Corentin and Patricia each carry their own baggage that they must deal with before they can even begin to look for love. Watching the relationship between the two blossom and heal each other's hurts was a great read. The love that Patricia and Corentin share shines right off of the pages. I enjoyed seeing Patricia regain what she lost with the help of her friends. The love that is shared between the friends is a wonderful touch. The girls are inseparable and care greatly for each other, just as the brothers do, creating a bond of love and trust that no one can tear apart.
With characters full of emotion, and depth, Shiloh Darke once again does a wonderful job. Each of the stories in this series has been a great read and I am eagerly waiting to see what is in store for us in the next installment. I happily give this book 4 cherries.

Purchase & Importation - January 2016
I paid US$8,500 for the car in S. Elgin, Illinois. The only repairs I had to do along the route home were in Iowa to have the stuck driver's side window mechanism fixed, the leaking heater core lines temporarily tied off and the blower motor resistor relay resoldered.
The driver's side window literally broke in Bob the Seller's garage in S. Elgin just before I backed the car out to leave. I rolled the window down while sitting in the car and talking to him, and when I went to roll it back up in preparation to back out, it wouldn't budge. Poor Bob. Can you imagine, you've just sold a car to someone and it breaks before they can even leave your garage?
Bob said that the window had once gotten stuck and few years back and that it had been because a bolt had come loose inside the door. So we spent more than an hour taking the door apart and trying to figure out what was wrong. No luck. Just couldn't see anything keeping the window glass from coming up.
Anxious to get on the road, I just vowed to 'deal with it' and moved on. This was Friday night, and it was clear I wasn't going to be getting it fixed until Monday
the earliest. But what do you do with a car you can't close up, in winter, when you're staying at a hotel?
It was already around 9:00 p.m. when I got back to the hotel and so I started looking for a late-night Wal-Mart or Target. Perhaps I could buy some heavy plastic sheeting and duct tape to cover the window. I found a Target, but could find no sheeting. I was starting to envision my trip across Illinois the next day with the window down, the wind in my hair and ice forming all over the left side of my head.
Ah, but there was book tape. You know what book tape is, don't you? That clear, plastic tape that you use to cover book bindings or seal packages? So I'm thinking....hey, I could just plaster this stuff across the window frame enough times and I'd have myself a window until I can pull into a GM dealer somewhere to fix the glass. And it worked ok. I laid it across in horizontal strips so there was nothing for the wind to catch on, and it held quite well. I wish I'd taken a picture of the jury-rigged window.
The drawbacks were that the tape did flap a bit at highway speeds, which was annoying. You had to enter and exit the car from the passenger side, which was a huge inconvenience, (because I'd taped the window frame to the car and the door couldn't open). The tape fogged up with the leaking glycol in the passenger compartment air even worse than a normal window, so visibility out the driver's window was brutal. And you got to hear every decibel of noise from the semi trucks passing two feet away outside the window. The tape leaked enough air to take away any body heat that I was building up inside the car body, too. Ok, so it sucked. But it worked.
Monday morning in Duncombe, IA the GM mechanic was able to do whatver voodoo was necessary to get the window back up and working correctly. This was part of the US$370.22 repair bill that also included tying off the heater core. I may not have had any heat for the rest of my journey, but at least I didn't have that confounded plastic tape flapping in my ear anymore, and I could get into the car through the correct door!

Is anyone else experiencing very slow speeds over the last few days with Orange. It's not too bad early morning and late night, but during the day (peak times I guess) the laptop (wireless) is virtually unusable. The PC is wired and very slow. The router is an Inventel Livebox. How can I check whether the problem is at my end, or with Orange. I have tried to phone Orange, but the queue is quite long!
Thanks in advance

President Donald Trump's approval rating increased to the highest mark in months, according to a new Politico/Morning Consult poll, but in his daughter-in-law Lara Trump's opinion, the numbers don't fully reflect the real story.
Continue Reading Below
"I think you're seeing the numbers tick up because people can't deny what is happening in this country," Trump told FOX Business' Maria Bartiromo on "Mornings with Maria."
With unemployment sitting at the lowest point in 17 years and a stock market at an all-time high, Trump said the president has managed to create 1.5 million new jobs and now looks to deliver on tax reform.
"I think that people are finally saying we can't deny the president is doing an incredible job and I actually believe if you go out and talk to the average American that number is probably much higher," she said.
More From FOX Business
Despite two straight quarters of three-percent plus GDP growth, Trump pointed out how political gridlock and media bias are working against the president.
"They [media] are trying all they can to stop him … We have Democrats that are trying all they can to stop him, even some Republicans who have not been on board," she said. "But even with that, the president is doing such an incredible job—hasn't even been in office for a full year."

So far I have de-flashed, mounted onto 30mm round bases and hand under-coated 28 figures. These have all been given their base flesh tone and all the cloth has been taken to the final highlight, I have now started to take the flesh up and working on some nice war paint for some crazy drug fuelled crazy berserkers.
I will take this oppertunity to explain my reasoning for painting the berserkers as follows:
The etymology of the term berserk is disputed. It may mean "bare-sark," as in "bare of shirt" and refer to the berserker's habit of going un-armored into battle. Ynglingasaga records this tradition, saying of the warriors of Óðinn that "they went without coats of mail, and acted like mad dogs and wolves" (Snorri Sturluson. Heimskringla: History of the Kings of Norway. trans. Lee M. Hollander. Austin: Univ.of Texas Press. 1964. p.10). Others have contended that the term should be read "bear-sark," and describes the animal-skin garb of ther berserker. Grettirs Saga calls King Harald's berserkers "Wolf-Skins," and in King Harald's Saga they are called ulfhedinn or "wolf-coats," a term which appears in Vatnsdæla Saga and Hrafnsmál (Hilda R. Ellis-Davidson,"Shape-Changing in the Old Norse Sagas," in Animals in Folklore. eds. J.R. Porter and W.M.S. Russell. Totowa NJ: Rowman and Littlefield. 1978. pp. 132-133), as well as in Grettirs Saga(Denton Fox and Hermann Palsson, trans. Grettir's Saga." Toronto: Univ.of Toronto Press. 1961. p. 3).
It is likely that the berserk was actually a member of the cult of Óðinn. The practices of such a cult would have been a secret of the group's initiates, although the Byzantine emperor Constantine VII refers in his Book of Ceremonies to a "Gothic Dance" performed by members of his Varangian guard, who took part wearing animal skins and masks: this may have been connected with berserker rites (Hilda R. Ellis-Davidson. Pagan Scandinavia. NY: Frederick A. Praeger. 1967. p. 100). This type of costumed dance is also seen in figures from Swedish helmet plates, scabbard ornaments, and bracteates which depict human figures with the heads of bears or wolves, dressed in animal skins but having human hands and feet. These figures often carry spears or swords, and are depicted as running or dancing. One plate from Torslunda, Sweden, may show the figure of Óðinn dancing with such a bear figure.
Modern scholars believe that certain examples of berserker rage to have been induced coluntarily by the consumption of drugs such as the hallucinogenic mushroomAmanita muscaria (Howard D. Fabing. "On Going Berserk: A Neurochemical Inquiry."Scientific Monthly. 83 [Nov. 1956] p. 232), or massive quantities of alcohol (Robert Wernick. The Vikings. Alexandria VA: Time-Life Books. 1979. p. 285).
The physical appearance of the berserk was one calculated to present an image of terror. Dumezil draws parallels between the berserk and the tribe of Harii mentioned in Tacitus's Germania who used not only "natural ferocity" but also dyed their bodies to cause panic and terror in their enemies, just as the berserk combined his fearsome reputation with animal skin dress to suggest the terrifying metamorphosis of the shape changer (Dumezil, Destiny of the Warrior, p. 141). Indeed, berserkers had much in common with those thought to be werewolves. Ulfr, a retired berserker, is mentioned in this light in Egils saga Skallagrímsonar:
But every day, as it drew towards evening, he would grow so ill-tempered that no-one could speak to him, and it wasn't long before he would go to bed. There was talk about his being a shape-changer, and people called him Kveld-Ulfr ["Evening Wolf"] (Palsson and Edwards, Egil's Saga, p.21).
Right thats the first update on the commission completed back to the paints.

VOC Suppression
NanoVapor Inc. offers breakthrough technologies in the industrial management of Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs). These patented technologies can directly address the safety, health, and environmental issues with more effective and efficient vapor management in the energy-related and aviation industries, including fuel (gas) station storage tanks, aircraft tanks, above ground storage tanks, barges, rail tank cars, and tanker trucks.
NanoVapor's solutions can provide business value to industrial customers by:
- Improving workplace safety, health, and environment by minimizing venting or release of harmful vapors and reducing the risks of combustion.
- Reducing maintenance costs as a substitute for nitrogen tank inerting, water filling, and air purging/venting services.
- Significantly increasing asset or facility utilization by substantially reducing maintenance downtime and control device footprint. NanoVapor's suppression technology can safely reduce the tank degassing time by more than 50% (up to 90% in some applications).
- Reducing environmental impact, as NanoVapor's products are non-toxic, environmentally friendly, and completely safe for humans, plants and animals.
- Potentially decreasing evaporative product loss during transportation and storage.
NanoVapor's patented systems may be used separately or combined to more effectively address the safety and operational inefficiencies caused by the flammability and harmful effects of organic vapors. These innovative systems use a proprietary vapor suppressant. Currently, NanoVapor's systems and chemistry are optimized for hydrocarbons that are categorized as C5 or higher, such as gasoline, diesel and jet fuels.
Since NanoVapor's disruptive technologies address vapor control at its source, they greatly improve industrial operational efficiency and asset utilization, while also improving workplace safety, air quality, and environmental impact. NanoVapor's systems can rapidly suppress the formation of harmful VOCs, thereby reducing any risk of vapor combustion and/or workplace accidents. These benefits can provide measurable safety, health and economic value proposition for any business involved in the production, transportation, or storage of refined petrochemical products.
Current degassing methods, such as nitrogen, work by removing oxygen from the tank environment to prevent vapor combustion. This also creates the potential for worker asphyxiation. NanoVapor's suppression technology directly suppresses the flammable vapor, preventing vapor combustion and making the work environment safer at the same time.

I don't need to play violent video games because they play in my head for hours at night already.
I know this dream started before Perl woke me to go out at 0300. I hoped it would end there. Instead, I fell right back into it until 0730.
I was being chased. Very scary guys with large guns. And they were killing off the people trying to hide me and my two little girls. I kept moving around the town, giving them the slip, but not without them taking out a new acquaintance here and there. The worst place to hide was this circular glass home. It was beautiful and open inside, done in dark woods and dark brown leather. The Harrison Ford-type guy who lived there was armed to the hilt. But there was no where to hide in a glass house.
We ended up at a toy factory of some sort. I thought I was safe in the crowd. But they even had people there working for them. An Asian girl in a candy-striper uniform came after me with a knife. I knew her name was Mary and I killed her and dropped her into a tractor trailer-sized open-top box sliding by on a gigantic conveyor belt. I knew I was going to make the guys following me very angry when they found her.
I was hiding with my kids in another house when the killers sent a very large, black woman and her three ADD kids to the house. I don't know why I let them in, but the kids started running around everywhere and I realized in all the confusion, they were stealing things. I also remember the less-subconscious part of my brain thinking this whole thing was kind of racist and promoting stereotypes. I'll try harder next time.
I finally got them all out of the house. That is when an Angelina Jolie-looking woman and her spoiled-brat, 10-year-old son arrived. The son shows me the part in the JK Rowling book that he is reading that mentions another rare book. He wants this other book. He will have this other book. He says he will call off the hounds if I just hand it over. He also is upset that my girls might have colored in it with crayons. Seems I'd bought it at a garage sale for my kids a few days earlier. I know my daughters were reading it, but we've been on the run for so long, they could have left it anywhere.
So now I'm looking for the book too. And trying to figure out how I can convince the goons not to kill me and my family after I hand it over. We are in my Great Grandmother's house and I'm trying to find other precious items I could trade. But I just get the book. It is where my daughters said they left it.
I meet the Max Martini-looking goon in an outdoor market. I give him the book and he hands it over to the kid who walks away in disgust. The kid doesn't say to kill me anyways and it turns out, the goon is pretty cute and really liked chasing me. I gave him the best run for his money he's ever had. He wants to take me to dinner. I would like that. He's buying a new fedora to replace the one I destroyed. He's trying on a new leather jacket and wants to know my opinion of it. I'm really considering going to dinner with him.
Then I remember Mary. He isn't going to forgive me for her. He's going to be looking for revenge. I excuse myself and go back to find my daughters. We disappear into the crowd and start to run again like the white rabbit that I am.

Let's Play D&D To Help Some Sick Kids [BIDDING ENDED]
Update December 12th: A winning bid has been submitted! I don't expect any more bids this week, so I'll just go ahead and call it. Thanks to everybody for their support. An update on the group of winners soon!
Update December 5th: So $250 is just too steep for you assholes? Fine. Until December 19th, you can start your bidding at $150. You can split the cost up between members of your party: the more, the merrier! Remember that you're not just buying 8 hours of me on one day; I'm spending at least 10 hours creating the custom monsters and levels for your enjoyment. Send me a bid, won'tcha?
If you're not familiar with Penny Arcade's Child's Play, it is a yearly charity drive that collects video games, books and other forms of entertainment for children's hospitals across the globe. Since 2003, the charity has raised millions of dollars worth of materials that have helped miserable, sometimes terminally-ill kids cope with their hospital stay.
A long time ago, I was a cancer kid. I was fortunate enough to have family who could splurge on a NES while I was in the hospital being diagnosed. Being able to sink a few hours into Super Mario Bros. or Operation: Wolf helped me cope with the fear of the known and unknown. Other children don't have the luxury of families that can afford such gifts (on top of expensive hospital bills). Child's Play not only donates items that can be checked-out by kid patients, but also gifts the children can receive when they "celebrate" their birthdays during their inpatient stay.
I've donated to Child's Play in the past but this year I want to do something different. I offer my services as a college sports fan and Dungeons & Dragons player/Dungeon Master to create an unique one-day dungeon delve event for the highest-bidding group:
- A custom-created dungeon delve using D&D 4th Edition Rules. (Sorry 3.5/Pathfinder folks, I don't know that system well enough to DM.)
- I will travel up to 500 miles one-way from Lexington, KY (including Louisville, Indianapolis, Knoxville, Nashville, Huntington and other regional areas) to run this event. I have all the materials necessary: Just provide a table and chairs for your group and I.
- The campaign will be custom-tailored to your favorite team's NCAA basketball schedule. You will play characters based from the basketball players or coaches; you will fight monsters that are cheekily designed to be like your team's rivals. The locations will be modeled after basketball stadiums your team plays on -- including special traps you can trigger on teams that fight on your team's home court!
- I can also create a more traditional D&D setup or match a different theme based on your specifications. Let me know in the bidding process what you'd like.
- I will have at least four encounters for a total of at least eight hours of play. The gaming session can take place during the NCAA basketball season or afterwards.
The starting bid is
$250 $150. All proceeds will go directly to Child's Play. If you and your friends are interested in bidding, send me an email with the subject "Child's Play D&D". The highest bid by 12:01 AM on Monday, December 5th 19th will win my services. Update Dec. 12th: Bidding ended early! See above.
If you're not interested in hiring me for my nerd game, please consider donating to Child's Play directly. Thanks for your time.
Nov. 22nd Update: Just to clear up a few things:
- You don't have to know the Dungeons & Dragons rules to play. 4th Edition is like a strategy board game but allows an easy learning curve. Even if you and your group are D&D n00bs, it will be easy to learn the rules as we go.
- The session can be broken into two or more sessions. Eight hours in one day is a big commitment, especially for those of us with kids and whatnot. If you live closer to Lexington, I can break up the four encounters into two or four sessions. It usually takes about 2 hours to play one encounter. I can also do online hosting if you'd prefer.
- Kids are welcome. I'll make the adventure PG if you want to include your kids. Though I would recommend that your child has the ability to sit through other strategy-type games.

Grove Park Inn
A couple of weeks ago a friend called and said she had a night at the Grove park Inn and could not go and was I intersted. Of course but I was sure David would have to work (he always does when something really special comes up-like Christmas Day-ha). I couldn't believe it when I looked on the calendar and he was off the exact days.
This place was amazing! The Grove Park Inn was bulit in 1913 in Ashville, NC. We got there late on Sunday and went straight to the pool where we enjoyd a couple of hours of R&R then a beautiful dinner on the terrace. The view was amazing and it was a gorgeous night! We woke up early Monday and headed to the Spa to see if was even possible for us to go in. The Lord blessed us again with a great deal and we entered the most amzing place I have ever been to. The spa cost 40 million dollars to build! It's rated in the top 5 of spas. I can't even describe it to you in words. There were 2 hot tubs, inside pool, outside pool, sauna, steam bath. When we arrived they gave you your own shoes and robe. We had the best day and pretty soon it was time to pack up and go home. Thank you NaNa and PaPa, Chelle, and Tomari for helping with the kids. I will never forget this trip.

Long before Dakota Johnson starred in the "Fifty Shades of Grey" films that propelled her to worldwide fame, she was attending red carpet events alongside her famous and talented family.
Her casual red carpet style has clearly evolved over the years, from jeans and a T-shirt to floor-length gowns created by popular designers.
Here's a look at how Johnson's style has changed over the years.
At the France premiere for "Fifty Shades Freed," Johnson wore an elegant white dress. The outfit resembled a wedding dress, which coincidentally aligns with the final "Fifty Shades" film.

End of an era
Readers with a nostalgic interest in San Francisco, take note: They're closing the former Jack Tar Hotel today, so that they can knock it down for a hospital building.
Readers with a nostalgic interest in San Francisco, take note: They're closing the former Jack Tar Hotel today, so that they can knock it down for a hospital building.
Heh, interesting. My wife and I stayed there a few years ago when we went to San Fran for our anniversary. Good food at Tommy's across the street.
The Jack Tar was always an extremely ugly building to me. Last time I was in there was 1979 and it was begging for a D-9 Cat to bring its misery to an end even back then.
And who could forget that old Portland landmark...... The Jack London Hotel...Now dat was a class joint!
I stayed there once after it became the Cathedral Hill Hotel. There was a great thin crust pizza joint around the corner.
It's also famous as part of the set/backdrop for the Francis Ford Coppola flick "The Conversation".
Never stayed there, but went by it many times on my way to Tommy's Joynt across the street, which had the best pastrami sandwich on this coast--though I don't know if that's true anymore.
I grew up in San Francisco in the 1960s; and remember the Jack Tar well; as my parents were members of a nearby club and parked in the hotel garage often. Those were back in the days when middle class families could afford a home in the city, Mel's Drive Ins had three locations and the 49ers were an awful team playing at Kezar Stadium. Compared to old line SF hotels like the St. Francis, Mark Hopkins and Fairmont; the Jack Tar was space age in comparison. I was last inside the building in the early 1980s to sell off a large collection of US Silver Dollars and pre-1950 US coins at a major coin show. That was when silver and gold were near their high water price points. I'm sorry to hear the old hotel is being torn down. You can be sure that the planner weasels will make sure there is even less parking in the new hospital building that replaces the hotel. May all you planner a-holes rot in hell.

… We're at three – almost four – weeks now since the last post, right? All I can say is, life happens. ;)
So let's rewind and post a few pictures.
That's as far as I got last week! Obviously we are now at the four week mark :/
There was a whole lotta dyeing going on last month:
And then my month was sweetened even more with numerous swap packages, two prizes and a RAK:
I started Unst by Nancy Bush, Knitting on the Road. Sock #1 was knit to near perfection, except for some snuggy-ness at the ankle. Since I have been receiving a lot of questions in regards to tension, I thought this would be a great opportunity to showcase issues in tension and the all powerful gauge swatch. Sock #2 was CO and is being knit on the same needles with the same yarn at a much loser tension. Sock #2 is still on the needles and is nearly finished. Once I have it BO and blocked, I will do a brief write up and post the pictures for comparison and then, decide which sock I like best and knit a 3rd!
My daughter had been working on a recital for her choir club. As the recital neared, I learned that her Instructor will be leaving right after the recital to have a schedule Cesarian Section! With just a few days notice, I decided to whip up a 2nd pair of Saartje's Bootees.
Ah, I have had lots of messages on this one! In need of a better organizer for my circular needles and DPNS, I decided to give a neglected CD Binder Case a new purpose. So far, so good! I find that the slots are just perfect for the circulars and nearly perfect for the sock sized DPNs. The longer 8″ DPNs are also in the binder but don't seem to want to stay in the binder. I am working on a solution for this last issue and hope to have all my needles in this binder eventually!
Periodically throughout last month, I received various fiber purchases… so hard to resist!
I purchased some Polwarth and Shetland from David of Come in Spinner, now South Cross Fibers. I just love the colorways of both!
I also burned the credit card on some super soft 80's Merino and a bump of natural brown Polwarth, which I purchased from someone's destash. Both are remarkably soft! … pure love.
Finally, in this week's Podcast I mentioned a great cast on for toe-up socks. I tried my best to describe it for you and then tried to make a video. After several attempts, I realized a much better way to execute this new cast on and how to modify it for those who prefer to knit using the Magic Loop method. Enjoy:
<<video coming – – – I hope! — If I find video to be too difficult, I will post photos instead. Stay Tuned!!>>

Subtractive Primary Colors:
The primary subtractive colors, magenta, cyan, and yellow, are of paramount importance to the color printing and photography industry. These colors can be combined to form the millions of print colors we see in newspapers, books, and magazines. Equal parts of the three primary subtractives yield the color black.

10 May Aussies Rule in Ironman Austrailia
Posted at 21:51h in Ironman Athlete
The women's fight on the bike between Michelle Mitchell, Hillary Biscay and Nicole Ward made for an exciting race— that is until T2.

- and Sophie Pullen (soprano) & Maria Levandovskaya (piano)
In this morning's lecture, Dr Rosamund Bartlett and pianist Maria Levandovskaya take us back to the glory days of imperial St Petersburg's Mariinsky Theatre, highlighting the composers, directors, singers and conductors who helped to build its international reputation.

This exploration of the most glittering period of Russian musical innovation promises to sparkle and delight the audience, enticing us back to the glamour of the imperial era and the creative brilliance that emerged from it.

Some solid executive orders were signed this morning — but not one rescinding DACA and DAPA, Obama's two amnesties for illegals, which Trump vowed early in the campaign had to go. What happened to that one? Spicer:
"First and foremost, the president's been very, very clear that we need to direct agencies to focus on those who are in this country illegally and have a record – a criminal record or oppose a threat to the American people," he said. That's where the priorities are going to be and then we're going to continue to work through the entire number of folks that are here illegally. But right now the clear focus is on that."
Makes sense. Get the dangerous ones out immediately, worry about the least dangerous ones — the young ones, the college kids — last. But … that's what Obama said too. That's why he ordered his executive amnesties, he claimed. It was a matter of prosecutorial discretion. By sending DREAMers to the back of the line, the White House would let ICE and other agencies focus their resources on grabbing and deporting the criminals. Spicer was asked about DACA again later in the briefing and said something even more interesting: "We don't have anything in front of us right now to sign on that, so give us a little time. We'll see what Congress moves forward with." Congress? Has the Trump White House decided to leave DACA and DAPA in place while Ryan and McConnell cook up a comprehensive immigration bill of some sort? ...Read the rest from ALLAHPUNDIT HERE.

More About Vintage Rescue Quilts – cuz you need to know all the things
Vintage Quilts have always been a favorite thing. Especially the really old ones, all worn, soft, and full of imagined stories about the women (or men) who made them.
You may have noticed that I've recently started listing Vintage Quilt Rescue Quilts in the shop. This all came about because I was contacted by someone who wanted me to finish some quilt tops that her great-grandmother had made. Normally I never take in quilt tops to finish, either new or vintage, but I was curious and asked her to send me some images of what she had. I was blown away! Here were quilt tops, made as early as the 30's, some of them were hand cut and hand sewn (this was the days before rotary cutters, people!), and they were perfectly preserved with brilliant colors and fine stitching.
After some discussion, we decided to go ahead with the project and she sent me the quilts, from California, and I finished three very beautiful quilt tops for her. Imagine, all those years she held onto these precious family heirlooms and only thought about having them finished. I sent them back and she was thrilled. The circle was complete and the quilts were whole and completely transformed!
After this experience, I was completely hooked! Scouring nearby vintage shops, and searching on-line, I came across several unassuming (and unfinished) quilt tops and purchased them. It's great to feel complete and utter inspiration with a new discovery, and I quickly worked on the new tops, repairing small holes and seams that had let loose, choosing fabric for the backs, and getting them on the frame to quilt.
This pink grandmother's garden quilt was the first. Now, I'm not a pink girl… AT ALL… but I saw this top and saw its potential and took it home. Thus started my fascination, obsession, and love for all things antique quilts! The older and more neglected, the better. Such lovely things happen when a long forgotten and abused vintage quilt top comes to life. I feel like they are all just waiting for their chance to become "real" in the world. They are waiting for their chance to be loved and held, and cuddled. After all, isn't that what the first intentions were when they were created? In the end, it's all about being loved and feeling complete that makes us all so happy.
To see all the Vintage Rescue Quilts that I have available for sale, check out the shop under Vintage Rescue Quilts!

The Friend is dead. As the news spreads around the world, the members of the Friends¿ executive committee are faced with a dilemma: Is it all over, or will the events predicted in the New Book of Prophecy still be carried out? Otcho insists that things are not over at all, and that is exactly what his old nemesis-Number 13-tells the fractious Friends¿ committee, where quite a few members are prepared to call it quits. Soon thereafter, certain members begin disappearing, one after another. Also, Otcho relays to Kanna what he learned about her mother, Kiriko. In 2003, Kiriko appeared at Dr. Yamane¿s laboratory just as he was developing his deadliest virus yet. The two lab partners would work in tandem, with Yamane developing a new virus and Kiriko contributing a vaccine. But was Dr. Yamane simply being naïve, or did he realize that he was helping to create the means for the Friends to annihilate 99 percent of the world¿s population in the year 2015?!

My adventures in exploring how to make and use all things fiber: quilting, spinning, knitting and weaving with the occasional outdoor adventure thrown in as well.
Monday, July 4, 2011
It's a start
I never thought nor intended to blog, thinking it a bit narcissistic. However, since I have started quilting, I have found the blogs of others who show how they are doing projects, very useful. So I'd like to return the favor, so to speak. Maybe I'll discuss climbing and my other interests as the moment moves me. Anyway,in the next few days, I intend to show something about paper piecing using freezer paper. Stuff I couldn't find on line, but that I have figured out on my own and that seems to work well. If that helps someone else, then this little experiment will have been worth it!
