Hurricane Dorian, already responsible for 20 reported tornadoes, lashes North Carolina coast
A tornado watch is in effect for Eastern North Carolina and parts of Virginia.
Hurricane Dorian battered the North Carolina shore early Friday morning as it continued its northward trek up the coast.
The deadly storm fell early Friday from a Category 2 storm, with sustained winds of 100 mph, down to a Category 1, with winds of 90 mph, as it passed by Wilmington, North Carolina.
Although the eye of the storm brushed the coastline, Dorian had yet to make landfall as residents in the area braced for flash flooding and near-hurricane-force winds.
Both North Carolina and South Carolina have already seen more than 10 inches of rainfall in some areas, and a tornado watch is in effect for Eastern North Carolina and parts of Virginia.
North Carolina is in for a "long night ahead," Gov. Roy Cooper warned Thursday, urging residents to stay inside and "hunker down" until the storm passes.
"Hurricane Dorian is ready to unleash its fury on our state," Cooper said.
Dorian may make landfall in North Carolina between Wilmington and the Outer Banks as it skims the coastline overnight.
"This won’t be a brush-by," Cooper added. "Whether it comes ashore or not, the eye of the storm will be close enough to cause extensive damage."
The coastal Carolinas could see up to 15 inches of rainfall. The combination of relentless rain and a dangerous storm surge as high as 7 feet could cause life-threatening flash floods.
Even those who live farther inland should pay close attention to flood watches and be ready to evacuate if asked to by local officials, Cooper said, noting that cars can be washed off roadways in just a few inches of rain.
By Friday afternoon Dorian will move out to sea, but tropical storm conditions will be possible in Cape Cod when the storm passes by Saturday morning.
Power was knocked out to more than 200,000 homes and businesses across South Carolina Thursday and at least 20 tornadoes have been reported in the Carolinas.
One apparent tornado sounded "like a large airplane or a large train coming through," a resident of Little River, South Carolina, told Florence ABC affiliate WPDE.
Charleston's narrow, low-lying streets -- which are prone to flooding -- were submerged with more than 6 inches of rain.
Residents who didn't heed earlier evacuation orders were urged to shelter in place as the powerful winds downed trees and power lines.
But Charleston resident Patrick Murray was relieved to see only minor flooding.
"We were kind of expecting the worst ... looks like we escaped the worst of it," Murray told ABC News Thursday. "Our biggest concern was flooding. We've had flooding in the past."
"Not knowing what was coming was probably the only scary part," he said.
One storm-related death struck the Carolinas before Dorian did. An 85-year-old man fell off a ladder while preparing his Columbus County, North Carolina, home for the storm, Cooper said Wednesday.
Tragedy in the Bahamas
Before reaching the United States, Dorian slammed into the Bahamas on Sunday afternoon as a Category 5 storm, the strongest Atlantic hurricane landfall on record.
The death toll in the Bahamas reached 30 on Thursday, but Health Minister Dr. Duane Sands told a local radio station that the final death count will be "staggering."
The storm hovered over the archipelago's northern islands for nearly two days, leveling homes, flooding roads and submerging an airport.
Bahamian Prime Minister Hubert Minnis said Wednesday that Dorian has left "generational devastation" across the Abaco Islands and Grand Bahama, which are both in the archipelago's northern region, east of southern Florida.
Princess Margaret Hospital in Nassau, the capital of the Bahamas, is now the only hospital capable of treating the most seriously injured from across the 700-plus islands and cays, according to Dr. Caroline Burnett-Garraway, medical chief of staff at the hospital.
Burnett-Garraway said the hospital has received at least 38 patients, including children, who were medically evacuated from hard-hit islands. Many were subjected to floodwaters and intense winds for days. Their injuries range from severe dehydration to lacerations and broken bones to acute kidney injuries. One patient had to have part of his arm amputated, she said.
"A whole family was in a car and a roof blew off and fell into their car. A 7-year-old is badly hurt. The family was taking shelter from the storm," Burnett-Garraway told ABC News.
Storm conditions have made it difficult to evacuate patients. Three men died immediately after arriving at Princess Margaret Hospital, according to Burnett-Garraway.
A major pharmaceutical warehouse on Grand Bahama was also lost, according to Judy Terrell, director of communications for Public Hospitals Authority. Pharmaceutical and medical supplies have been "significantly impacted," especially for those with non-communicable diseases, like hypertension and diabetes.
Minnis said, "Our response will be day and night. Day after day, week after week, month after month, until the lives of our people return to some degree of normalcy."

This one is from one of the Cottage Creations booklets - I used Woolease
The Flap Hat from this pattern - I used some chunky type yarn I had in the stash
And a smaller one with less stitches
And this basic hat with 2 strands of worsted wt

Remember these slipper socks? I just had finished them in January and now I've worn a hole in the sole. Could be because they were not knit at a tighter gauge, could be the yarn type, could be I wore them too much. And yes I do drag my feet, one foot in particular because I have a slight scoliosis back problem - so I cannot fix that, but I really like warm slippers.
The crocheted ones seem to be holding up better but I prefer knitted ones.
So I fiddled around with a generic garter stitch type slipper and left the sole part until last.
I picked up 12 sts at the black stripe and knitted back towards the heel, picking up and knitting together the ends of the cuff stitches.
The plan is that when I wear a hole in the sole, I can unravel it and re-do it. We'll see....
At least they are bright and cheery!
Saturday, February 17, 2007
So I proudly present the Finished Object!
Conclusion - I think I like this construction method!
And here is a cute little baby sized poncho I crocheted. I added the ribbon just for show and instead of fringe, I crocheted a little loopy edging.
Pattern can be found here.

I love handknitting fairisle - I hate doing it on the machine. I've tried but I get much better results by hand knitting.
Started this little sweater - another Mary Rich Goodwin pattern - and here you can see I've completed it up to the part where you separate the sleeves from the body.
I then hung each sleeve, front and back on my knitting machine and knit the stockinette part.
Now I will just work the fairisle borders and ribbing by hand and then sew up the seams.
I'm pretty good at seaming up so I don't mind that part.
Pam asked what kind of machine I am using. It's a Bond aka Incredible Sweater Machine aka Ultimate Sweater Machine.
It sure comes in handy for those stockinette parts!
Monday, February 05, 2007
There is no specific number of sweaters one has to make or needs to make. It's all up to what and how many one wants to make and send.
Being that it is very cold up in South Dakota right now, I am trying to make as many as I can.
If anyone is interested they can send sweaters to any of the addresses listed on the homepage of our Yahoo Group - Native American Support
My Latest Sweater Experiments
I'm getting quite good at working up these small sweaters on my ISM. I was having a problem rehanging the sleeves, but now I pick up and knit the first row by hand and then transfer to the machine.
Here's a little green sweater whose yoke was made first in garter stitch and then the other parts hung on the machine to knit up.
I saw a sweater with this type of rectangular yoke in an old Knitters magazine. So I thought I could knit it up by hand then attach the ends and continue on using the machine.
Garter stitch stretches and is larger in gauge than stockinette stitch, so the top is a bit larger.
I think next time I will try a ribbed yoke to draw in the neckline.
Wednesday, January 31, 2007
And I've already got another one on the needles!
Knit From My Stash Report
I don't have a count of how much yards or skeins of yarn I have because I gave up counting long ago :) Let's just say too much! Instead I have been working on knitting up the mesh bins I posted about earlier and NOT buying any new yarn unless absolutely necessary.
So today I can brag that I have emptied one mesh bin and I have not purchased any yarn this month. It feels great to have turned that yarn into nice warm things for people that really need them.
Monday, January 29, 2007
Here is a big scarf I started a few days ago, hanging on the bed.
I used 62 needles and keyplate 4 with worsted wt yarn.
And here is the completed stole like scarf.
It measures 19" x 68" - big enough to wrap around one's head and cover the upper shoulders.
As you can see I added some dropped stitches for lightness and interest.
Even more sweaters for the Rez.
This is what they look like after I have finished all the pieces on the machine and I even added a picot eyelet hem. Lots of ends to sew up :)
And this is the finished sweater!
Yes - I still hand knit! Check out this top down raglan I've started. It's one of Mary Rich Goodwin's designs.
Saturday, January 27, 2007
Another little Bond blanket. It's just simple stockinette stitch with stripes of varigated for interest. What spices it up is the crocheted edging.
Conclusion: It is so easy to knit up stockinette stitch with the machine using baby wt /sport yarn. It's not so easy working the edging. Hopefully I'll work up ALL my light wt yarn and be done with it!
Here is a closeup of the edging. I found the idea and pattern here
Blanket On The Needles
I'm still plugging along on that Baby Clouds blanket. One would think that I would have finished this bulky knit quickly, but I am not liking knitting the nubby texture. Still it's knitting up the stash!
Thursday, January 25, 2007
This is one of my favorite patterns - crocheted slippers from the toe up. The only thing I never liked was the width of the instep. I have high insteps and slippers I've made before were always too snug to pull on. This time I think I got it right as I increased as I worked toward the instep. That left me with too many stitches at the ankle but I fixed that with knitting a ribbing.
Now they're just right and too bright!
Two Needle Slippers
Here's a experimental pair on two needles. I can seam up garter stitch with no problem and I can knit a bit faster on two needles. Sticking to what I do best, I made up this pair as I went along. They're like the green ones but fit better as I went down to 36 sts (18/18). They fit fine but I think I would like a deeper heel. I'll save that for version #3.
I have more blankets and baby sweater pics to post soon.

Sweater Number Two
Yarn is from my stash and I used the Bond/ISM knitting machine to work the front and back stockinette. Ribbing, sleeves and collar are hand knit. It's from an old Knitting Magazine pattern.
Here's the back view
Sweater Number Three
Finally finished the One Button Garter Stitch Cardi and it was a very easy knit. Just your basic garter stitch and increases and decreases. I used Red Heart worsted wt fleck.
Warming my Feet
My feet are cold and my slippers are getting holes! Oh no what's a girl to do but knit up another pair of slippers. I am testing this pattern that starts with the ribbing and works down the front, making a short row toe. I worked a garter stitch sole, picking up stitches as I went back to the heel part. The heel is also short rowed.
Outcome - too wide for even my wide foot so next time I'll try less stitches or maybe smaller needles - we'll see as I still have to finish the second one.....
Wednesday, January 17, 2007
So here is Baby Sweater #1
Sweater Number Two
Sweater number 2 is also a combination of machine and hand knitting. The sleeves have some garter stitch detail, so they're being hand knit.
Sweater Number 3
This cute little green sweater is so easy to knit up in garter stitch.
I'm almost done as you can see.
Pattern is located here
Sorry about the really bright red quilt....
Baby Clouds Blanket
I'm using up some chunky baby yarn my sister gave me to make this eyelet type blanket.
I am using a pattern from the Michael's site - here
Stash Baby Blanket
I knit this one up on the knitting machine using my stash. Yellow yarn from Super Yarn Mart and the ombre is Dazzleaire. I didn't plan the patterning on the ombre- it just came out that way! Blanket measures about 36"x42"
And I tried this new edging technique to stop curling. You reform the 2nd and 4th sts in from the edge by dropping them down every 10 rows and hooking 2 loops together.
More Snow Pictures
Here is a picture of Snow Day in Fontana that I took in the afternoon. All the ground snow is gone, but the mountains still had some white showing.
And this one was enhanced using my photo imaging software - I think I like it as a banner.
Friday, January 12, 2007
The picture says it all! I woke up this morning to the sound of children laughing and shouting outside. At 7AM? So I got out of bed and was treated to a wintery view - in the hot Inland Valley of Southern California!
Guess it's knitting sweaters for me today - finishing up the 3 I started.
The sun is already trying to peek thru and the white stuff will melt away soon.

So here goes!
I’m not too tech savy but I'll give it a try.
You first have to save the button as an image on your computer, then upload it to your server. An easier way is to just upload it as a picture in one of your posts and then you can add it to the sidebar part of your template by referring to the image on that post.
I used Blogger Help and Googled to find some more instructions. Hopefully you can get your button up successfully!
Colette asked me for the pattern for the patriotic booties. Well I did mention that the actual pattern is a hodgepodge of several patterns out there on the net and this is the basic pattern I followed
These are my mods:
I used size 5 needles and worsted wt yarn
I cast on 32 sts and on the first row I knit 15, increased in next st, increased in next st and knit to end of the row. This gives you 34 sts total.
I then knit another row across and on the next row did middle increases again, so now I have 36 sts total. This gives a cupped heel instead of a pointy one.
Then I knit for a total of 8 ridges from the beginning.
Bound off 8 sts at the beginning of the next 2 rows and knit on the remaining 20 sts for a total of 15 ridges from the start.
Next 2 rows, k2 tog across and you have 5 sts remaining – gather those up, seam up and make the next one.
On the needles
On the needles
3 baby sweaters - yup I said 3..... but I am using my stash!
A crocheted scrap afghan
Saturday, January 06, 2007
It was made with stash worsted wt yarns on size 9 needles
and measures 38" x 39"
Now for my Calorimetry Craze.
I've knit up 3 of these from Knitty's 2006 Winter Issue.
They're a quick knit while watching Tivo and at most use up a few ounces of yarn.
The original pattern calls for 120 sts, I used 80, then 84, then finally settled on 88 sts with size 8 needles.
The one on the top left is an attempt at an all garter stitch one from tip to tip - didn't like it - the original pattern is faster.
Last but not least - a pair of patriotic booties!

This is my Small Stash
Lots of leftovers that I sorted out in different weights. Mostly for hats and baby booties. See the cotton bin? I've going to make baby bibs and the Surplice Sweater from the Mason Dixon book.
This is my Medium Stash
Alot of this yarn was gifted to me by my sis who "destashed" her collection. She's downsizing preparing for a move this year. Some of this yarn is from my thrift store bargains or leftovers from last year's projects.
There are also some WIP's hiding in the bottoms - some just need buttons - I hate sewing on buttons.
Some just need a few more rows, like blankets I have started....
I have come to the conclusion that although I like making blankets, I don't do well in completing a blanket that is one piece - I do better with squares or strips and then join.
So I've got to finish up some of those one piece blankets - groan......
The BIG Stash! Yes this is ALL mine :) 1970's to now.
Some of these bins contain very, very old UFO's. So they're not all harboring "free" yarn.
Sometimes I look at an old UFO and wonder "what was I thinking?" - and I have no problem frogging and freeing up the yarn for something else.
Knitting from these will be saved for last, as I resolve to knit up the stash in the mesh bins first.
Then I will pull out a bin and work on that ONLY - that's the plan that I hope to follow.
Current WIP is Calorimetry from Knitty and I finished another pair of baby booties yesterday.
Old Wip is the Rectangle Blanket from earlier this year.
I've been ok working on TWO projects at the same time - hope I don't catch a bad case of "startitis"!
Tuesday, January 02, 2007
They're a k2, p2 rib with 2 strands of worsted wt yarn and #13 needles and they are longer and skinnier than mine because dear sis inherited cute little gams!
Tomorrow I post pictures of my stash, so y'all better be sittin' down - I'm warning you :)
Monday, January 01, 2007
In 2005 I challenged myself to complete 200 knitted objects.
I did it! I did it ! (doing the Dora dance)
I even made one extra for a total of 201 FO's for 2006.
Here's the count:
18 baby sweaters
1 child's sweater
2 baby bibs
28 pairs of baby booties
25 pairs of mittens
17 pairs of slippers
2 pairs of socks
4 pairs of wristers
Obviously I like knitting hats.... and I'm not too fond of knitting socks.
So this year I won't challenge myself to knit more - I'm going to challenge myself to this:
There's a theme going around Blogdom to Knit From Your Stash - click on the link for details.
Wendy started it and I'm going to join in because I need to reduce my stash. Seriously...
Here are my own rules for Knit From Your Stash
1. My KFYS marathon will last all year!
2. I will NOT buy anymore yarn with the following exceptions:
2a. If a family member asks for a knitted item and I do not have it in my stash, I am allowed to purchase yarn for that project.
2b. If I run out of yarn for WIP that has been languishing in my UFO pile.
Now for my New Year's Knitting Resolutions:
2. Reduce my pattern library by 1/3 - I have way too many magazines, booklets, etc!
3. Finish the WIPs! Designate a WIP day - WIP Wednesday?
4. Work on only 2 projects at any given time before starting a new one (oh this is so hard for me)
Saturday, August 19, 2006
Each square took about 1 oz of regular worsted wt yarn and a few more ounces of contrasting color for the edging. I've got all sorts of ideas for the next loom project - maybe a scarf of 5 squares long, or a shawl of 2 rows of 5 squares, or a lapghan of 3x4 squares. Can't decide just yet.
Here's the thrift shop scrap bag of squares finally sewn up.
It measures 42" x 48"
Meanwhile I'm starting another pair of felted slippers, because I have misplaced the original printout with all my notes.
Film at eleven.......
Wednesday, August 02, 2006
So I've been busy working in the backyard, weeding, re-doing flower beds and such.
Then a rest in the afternoon with a good book.
And I've even managed to knit on my ongoing projects and
I finished 2 more pairs of mittens!
I've been knitting away a section at a time on the Curve of Pursuit - nothing much to show for now, but getting there.
Started a dishcloth from the Peaches n'Cream yarn I bought on sale at Michaels.
Cooler temps have helped me finish this woven blankie/lapghan.
I'll let the folks at THE MAIN decide where to gift it.
Inspired by the above project I set forth to attempt to build a 12" square loom.
I went to Michael's with coupons and bought some needlepoint frames.
I know... I should have chosen harder wood for durability, but since this is an attempt, I thought I'd just go for very inexpensive.
Here's my "workbench".
Final product looking good and I've already made 3 squares from varigated yarn.

"Whom Can We Trust Now?": The Meaning of Treason in the United States, from the Revolution Through the Civil War
For several hours in August 1787, the delegates to the Philadelphia Convention debated the two sentences defining treason that would serve as the only criminal law in the U.S. Constitution. As storied and controversial as this ancient crime was, the meaning of treason for the new democratic republic was difficult to foresee. Historian and lawyer Brian Carso demonstrates that although treason law was conflicted and awkward, the broader idea of treason gave recognizable shape to abstract ideas of loyalty, betrayal, allegiance, and political obligation in the United States. Taking an interdisciplinary approach, Carso begins by exploring the nature of loyalty and betrayal in a democratic republic, using examples ranging from Socrates in Plato's Crito to the dilemma of Robert E. Lee in 1861 and the trial of Timothy McVeigh in 1997. Turning to legal history, the study considers the historical antecedents of the Treason Clause of the U.S. Constitution and examines the utility of American treason law as it was applied in a variety of cases, most notably in the 1807 trial of Aaron Burr, in which Supreme Court Justice John Marshall used twenty-five thousand words to explicate the Treason Clause. Finding that the antinomies of treason law in a democratic republic make successful prosecutions against treason nearly impossible, Carso turns to the political, intellectual, and cultural realms of civic life to identify and to explain the broader meaning of treason. The study investigates the perpetual condemnation of Benedict Arnold and the many ways treason animated civic discourse during the Civil war. By examining editorials, sermons, histories, orations, art, literature, and political cartoons, Carso identifies how the meaning of treason engaged the public imagination in a variety of compelling forms and instructed citizens on loyalty and betrayal outside the courtroom as much as within it.

Landscape photography is way harder in Scotland than California!
I just spent ten days back home in Scotland visiting some places I'd wanted to photograph for years. It was the first time in a while I'd been home in the summer so I was hoping that would allow for more outdoor photography, but the weather was brutal. It wasn't just unpredictable and changeable, it was near impossible. At Eilean Donan Castle, above, in the thirty seconds it took to put my camera on a tripod the scene changed from glorious light to a rain soaked blur. And at the Coral Beach on Skye it was sunny on one side of the frame, grey and wet on the other.
When I embraced the weather I loved the drama and atmosphere it brought, but sometimes you have to weigh that up against destroying your camera. On the beach at St Andrews the rain soaked my kit and at the Old Man of Storr the wind toppled my tripod. Battling the elements was exciting though and I learned some valuable lessons. As I moved from place to place, no matter how difficult the conditions, I knew I could rely on a couple of things...
Firstly, I've begun to define a style that is repeatable and my own; if I felt inspired and followed my process I would always express myself and capture something consistent. The fact that it doesn't just apply to sunny California was reassuring. Secondly, I've learned how to be selective. I used to feel the urge to take photos of absolutely everything from every possible angle, but that was born from a lack of direction and confidence. When I visit somewhere new it's easier to focus my attention to produce an image I'm pleased with.
When I originally set out to better express myself through photography I got the process the wrong way around. I thought I needed to work out what I wanted to say and then decide how to do that through my images. In the meantime I followed my instincts to refine a style that I liked, and as it happened, the photos I created were helping me to know myself better. I'm proud of these images because they're so personal.

Hungary orders 20 H145Ms
July 5, 2018 By Helicopters Staff
The Hungarian Ministry of Defence has ordered 20 H145M military helicopters equipped with new HForce weapons management in the frame of its military modernization program Zrinyi 2026. In addition to the helicopters, Airbus will provide a training and support package.
“With this new order, we are fostering our excellent and trustful relationship with the Hungarian Armed Forces after their acquisition of two A319 military troop transporters last year,” said Tom Enders, Chief Executive Officer of Airbus.
With a maximum take-off weight of 3.7 tonnes, Airbus explains the H145M can be used for a range of tasks like troop transport, utility, surveillance, air rescue, armed reconnaissance and medical evacuation.
The Hungarian fleet will be equipped with a fast roping system, high-performance camera, fire support equipment and ballistic protection, as well as an electronic countermeasures system to support demanding operational requirements. Airbus also explains its HForce system will allow Hungary to equip and operate its aircraft with a large set of ballistic or guided air-to-ground and air-to-air weapons.
The H145M is a light twin-engine helicopter that was first delivered in 2015 to the German Armed Forces and has since been ordered by Thailand and the Republic of Serbia. Mission readiness of the H145Ms already in service, according to Airbus, is above 95 percent.
Powered by two Safran Arriel 2E engines, the H145M is equipped with full authority digital engine control (FADEC). The helicopter is also equipped with the Helionix digital avionics suite which includes a 4-axis autopilot, increasing safety and reducing pilot workload.

Find an air quality testing professional in Arizona City, Arizona
Give us a few details and we’ll match you with the right pro.
COMMONLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT AIR QUALITY INSPECTION
Is it worth it to purchase and perform home air quality tests?
An air quality test is an important part of a full-scope home inspection. The air in your home is vital to your quality of life since it can contain pollutants that can become a detriment to your health. If you have poor air quality, it can point to problems having to do with allergens, mold, and mildew. Mold spores and dust can become more serious when it causes respiratory problems in those living in the property. Recruiting a contractor is worth it to perform an air quality inspection to detect pollutants and take the important steps to fix it. The price of an inspection is somewhat small in comparison to the value it offers in insightful information for both homeowners and buyers in the real estate market.
Are air quality inspection services accurate?
Not all air quality tests are precise, so seeking a contractor to perform a professional test can give you more definitive results for you to depend on. A full-scope inspection will reduce the chance for false negatives or positives produced by external elements that alters precision. Worries over air quality are completely reasonable, taking into account the number of pollutants that could be present and their effect on our health. Homeowners may notice a particular issue, but a potential homebuyer may not, which is why a full-scope approach is taken to look for combustion, biological, and chemical contaminants. Having a more thorough assessment that inspects for multiple elements can give you a more accurate idea of what's in your air.
How do I check the air quality in my home?
You can test the air quality in your property by using a testing device, but they're not as accurate in terms of the sorts of results they can provide. By seeking an air quality test specialist, you can take a more thorough look at what may be in your air. They can show you what is identified, the kind of pollutant found, the levels of pollution, and what you can do to fix the situation. A specialist will do an extensive evaluation that includes humidity readings, a VOC test, and taking samples from the air and surfaces to look for mold particles. The process is personalized to any red flags they come across to specifically fix areas of concern.
What What parts of indoor air quality are examined in home air quality tests?
Indoor air quality inspections assess what type of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are present such as allergens, mold, and radon. Inspections will show the level of airborne particulate matter and contaminants to determine whether your air is safe or a risk to your well-being. Some more testing can further identify humidity, and temperature, and other bioaerosols for a more comprehensive assessment. The ideal way to know what your air quality is and what you can do to improve it is to seek help from a contractor to do an all-inclusive inspection.

7 and 40
El Calafate, 6-Apr-2010
Routa 7 – Chile’s Carretera Austral
Rain was coming down hard and I woke up several times at night wondering how bad will the roads be tomorrow and hoping the rain will end by the morning. But the morning came and it was still pouring outside. I occupied myself with packing, went to have my breakfast then waited by the porch. The señora asked me what was I looking for? “The rain to stop”… a response which was answered by a loud laughter. “It rains 3,000mm per year here, when it starts, it won’t stop for 1 week”. Ouch! Can’t be true, 3 meters of rain?!? Damn! Well, I guess I have to face it; the Llama show will go on. I waited until noontime for a “rain-brake” so I could load my bike (it’s a ½ hour job). Then I hit the road and the rain hit me: Kilometer 12,078, Futaleufu, 31-Mar-10 @ 12:25. It wasn’t fun riding on slippery gravel, in the cold with my visor fogging up forcing me to keep it partially open. I guess I was tasting the rain in every possible way?! 😦 3 hours into my ride I discovered something: NOTHING is waterproof. Don’t talk to me about Gortex, Skins, Waterproof Nylons,… all BS. Nothing can withstand this rain. And I was the guinea pig proving this point; I was literally sitting in a puddle of water forming in my rainsuit under my ass. My boots? Hehe! My feet thought I took them scuba diving. My waterproof gloves? Yeah right, plastic bags might have done a better job.
But I have to tell you, riding through Chile’s Aisén Region in the heart of la Selva Valdiviana is a dream trip for any nature buff. Your riding in valleys surrounded by steep mountains hiding behind them the Pacific to the west and the Andes to the east. In this cold climate with snowy mountains, glaciers and waterfalls, lies an evergreen forest resembling an Amazonian forest. Tall trees, huge leafed shrubs and dense vegetation. And I forget about the rain, the frozen fingers and the gravel road to admire this beauty, stopping – way too many times – to grasp the moment and snap a pic.
I reached the charming little port village of Puyuhuapi (Kilometer 12,276, Puerto Puyuhuapi, 31-Mar-10 @ 17:40) checked in, bathed 15 minutes under a hot shower, hanged all my cloth to dry around the fire stove and put my boots in front of the fire and went out for a stroll to check the waterfront (no dolphins) and have a good hearty dinner. Most villages in southern Chile are “poor” with houses built of tin and/or thin wood, absolutely no insulation and heated mostly by firewood because gas or petrol cost too much here (2x the price of Argentina). Which means only the main room is warmed by a chimney and in the remaining rooms, it is freezing and humid. I took the covers of the surrounding beds, made a 7 layers thick cover and huddled under them to warm up, not able to move under their weight and leaving just a small opening around my face to breath. This “bed cover strategy” will be used from now on in my entire Chilean Patagonia trip.
Next morning more of the same: cold, rain and fog. I knew I will be soaked in a matter of hours which actually made it easier for me: I just saddled up and went. I stopped by a few parks to admire the scenery, most especially Glaciar Colgante. Then I entered Parque National Queulat which protects a gorgeous Valdivian forests surrounded by majestic snowy mountains. The ride was really breathtaking. The roads also put me out of breath, for different reason though: they were just awful, pure stones, rocks and gravel. Finally, by 15:00 a rainbow appeared in front of me and the rain subsided. But the cold wind coming down the snow capped mountains was unmerciful and I was literally in hyperthermia. I had to stop in Cohaique vs. my original plan to reach Cerro Castillo as I couldn’t ride any longer: I could barely move my fingers to shift or break; Kilometer 12,537, Cohaique, 1-Apr-10 @ 19:30.
My voyage toll increased the past week: 1) I felt like “le petit poucet”, leaving or “loosing” (i.e. getting stolen?) some of my cloth (T-shirts, raincoat, hiking cloth, underwear,…) behind; and 2) my bike lost a few screws caused by the unmerciful vibrations while riding these roads. I had to carry some of the bike parts in my luggage while others were held by straps or tape.
My road continued southward reaching Lago General Carrera. Instead of crossing straight into Argentina, I opted to do the ~300Km tour around the lake. I went through Cerro Castillo visiting a Theuelche hands cave before I stopped midway in the little village of Puerto Tranquilo (with 1 resto open at night); Kilometer 12,767, Puerto Tranquilo , 2 -Apr-10 @ 17:50. I found out that a dirt road was newly carved all the way to Campo de Hielo Norte and that there’s a refugio which organize glacier trek tours. Perfect! Next morning, with the sun finally shining (I rode south enough to get away from the Selva Valdiviana region), I took this road, sharing it with the many wild rabbits who were just to curious about this big blue noisy thing going through their hood and trying to outrun it; you should have seen them running in front of my bike, up to 40Km/h, for hundreds of meters on this dirt road, not veering off to hide in the bushes… locos :). Kilometer 12,818, Campo de Hielo Norte, 3-Apr-10 @ 11:10. The ice trek was just amazing and we were just 3 of us on the whole glacier. That was a lot better (and way cheaper) then in El Calafate with its hyper commercial & busy glacier treks the many companies organize. We stayed on the glacier for 7 hours, admiring the myriad of blue colors the ice field was taking and drinking its millinery waters. I was also shocked to witness firsthand the effect of global warming and see its impact on these giants (see pics).
Next morning I continued my route south on the Carretera Austral. A couple of hours thereafter, I veered east to head back to Argentina via the southern shore of Lago General Carrera (if I stayed on the Carretera Austral it will reach a dead end at Lago O’Higgins). Here the sinuous road was at part awful, loose gravel on steep uphill / downhill (I literally had no traction on my tires) with many landslides forcing me to slalom between rocks fallen from the cliffs on my right while staying clear of the precipice plunging to the lake on my left. Momentum is the key word here: never stop or I’ll fall, just have to maintain a steady slow speed. But whenever there was a flat road, I stopped to admire the views of the lake and the distant glaciers including a glimpse of Campo Hielo Sur. Late afternoon, I again crossed into Argentina to reach Ciudad Perito Moreno, my stop for the night: Kilometer 13,126, Perito Moreno, 4-Apr-10 @ 18:10. Side note: In Argentina the same lake is known as Lago Argentina… gota love the rivalry between these 2 countries and I always play this card at the border to make my crossing easier. Hey, it works, it saved me un-packing my luggage and getting searched. Beside, you have a good laugh with the border guards! :).

text: I'm currently trying to come up with some ideas for a screenplay that's going to be sci-fi. The ideas I have in mind have some things like some sort of human-Gunadm-ish mechs. It's around this part that I get stumped, as when I try to figure out some of the ideas for the story, the character design gets me stumped. All I can think of besides the Gundam-ness would be something along the lines of looking sleek, having some fin-type things on the back, having something like an identity disc from Tron, and something with the legs where, in my mind, they kinda roller-skate or something(think the scene from the second Transformers movie where the one autobot moves on wheels for feet, but keep the feet just as feet. Kinda something like hovering or mag-lev). Sorry if it seems like I'm asking for a lot, but this idea has been bouncing around my head for a while. Can you guys please help me? I just feel that the story could progress a bit more if I can get a better idea of what the characters could look like. Thanks.


The Cowboys injury report today is pretty much the same as yesterday. The Cowboys have four players out, and they all have hamstring injuries. Same as it ever was. Sean Lee, Justin Durant, Morris Claiborne and Dwayne Harris all sat out today's festivities. Sean Lee and Justin Durant were doing some running on the side, so that bodes well for them to return soon, but not by Thursday.
The Cowboys made a roster move, signing linebacker/defensive end Martez Wilson who was recently a Saint.
The Cowboys signed linebacker Martez Wilson with an eye to perhaps trying him at defensive end, believing he can be a pass rusher. Wilson was a third-round pick of the New Orleans Saints in 2011 out of Illinois. He played in 13 games as a rookie, collecting one sack, and played in 16 games last year, getting three sacks, a forced fumble and a fumble recovery, plus a blocked field goal.
This year he was injured and didn't get a lot of playing time before the Saints released him early in the year. But could the Cowboys have signed him for a different reason?
He was claimed by Oakland and played three games before being released last week.
How convenient, we just happen to be playing the Raiders! With a short week, there's not much intel he could give that the Cowboys could actually implement a game plan for, so it's more likely they just think he can help down the stretch. Dallas released defensive tackle Everett Dawkins to complete the transaction. Rushmen come, rushmen go for the Cowboys in 2013.
Also, the Browns claimed QB Alex Tanney off the practice squad.

Grow your own indoor edible garden
by Tom Halpin on Friday 09 November 2018
4 min read
Many people who grow their own edible plants turn it into a lifetime hobby. It’s the feeling of satisfaction from avoiding supermarkets, and a nod to your own ingenuity and self-sufficiency.
From dwarf varieties to fully-fledged alpha greens, plenty of herbs and vegetables can thrive indoors.
Growing your own food is as healthy as it gets in terms of nutrition. Whether it’s the dead of winter, or the warm eclipse of summer – your edible plants can still grow. A sunny windowsill or two will help, but you can grow in shaded areas too. Here are a few tips on how to grow your own edible garden, and what indoor edible plants and vegetables to grow.
You’re busy with a million other things, so let’s get down to the nitty gritty. To start an indoor garden, you’ll need to consider the following:
1. Choose well-draining soil. Use a pot with holes in the bottom or pile up some stones to let some of the water drain through. Make sure to capture some water under the pot with a shallow drainer, or else you’ll be walking in puddles.
2. Buy some potting mix. It’s easy to grab some soil – head on down to your local hardware store, gardening market or go online. Look for a general potting mix or go with organic.
3. Place on a sunny windowsill or in a well-lit area. Maximum light is ideal, yet some plants might require different exposure to the sun. In absence of sunlight, you can use grow lights.
4. Think about indoor temperature, humidity levels and watering. Each plant may differ, so do your research to make sure you buy plants that work with your home’s temperature.
5. Use a vegetable garden kit to start with – remember to choose something that complements your house and fits the space.
Choosing your garden varietals
If you’re just starting out – stick with plants, vegetables and herbs that are resilient and grow well in part-shade or full-shade. Once you fine tune your green thumb you can be a little more adventurous.
The world’s your oyster when it comes to herbs. Small and compact, you can grow them indoors. Whether you want to grow basil, rosemary, chives, or add a little mint to your summer smoothie, herbs are packed full of antioxidants, vitamins and minerals.
If you’re after fruits and vegetables, consider adding these to your indoor garden:
Avocados. Chock full of healthy fats, these fruits pack a punch! Purchase a dwarf avocado plant – be warned, they can grow up to 3 meters!
Carrots. A great source of vitamins and minerals, purchase carrot seeds or a window box and you’re good to grow!
Lemons. Packed with vitamin C and antioxidants, you’ll never be left without your citrus friend to fight off colds and clean your palate.
Mushrooms. Your funky-fungi flavorful varietals are a good source of fibre. Grow them in a laundry basket or purchase a kit.
There you have it! The rare satisfaction that comes from eating what you nurtured, and a confidence boosting sense of self-sufficiency.

Nancy Grace, camera-shy? Tough.
A federal judge has dismissed the pundit's request that her forthcoming deposition in a wrongful-death lawsuit not be recorded, paving the way for HLN's Southern sasspot to get her courtroom close-up.
Grace is currently defending herself and her show against allegations of so severely badgering a guest—the mother of a missing 2-year-old boy—that the woman committed suicide shortly after her appearance.

As we walk through this world and endure the various trials and tribulations, we will have the strength to endure those because Christ lives in us. Once we have turned our lives over to Christ, we become one with him, it is important to understand that Christ has the power to make changes in our lives that are always for the better. Remember we NEVER walk alone, as long as we walk with Christ.
“9 However, you are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God dwells in you. But if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he does not belong to Him. 10 If Christ is in you, though the body is dead because of sin, yet the spirit is alive because of righteousness. 11 But if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, He who raised Christ Jesus from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through His Spirit who dwells in you.”


Thanks to the combined efforts of Boston PD, the Pokémon community, and public safety personnel at the Hynes Convention Center in Boston, two suspects were arrested in possession of an AR-25 rifle, 12-guage Remington shotgun, a hunting knife, and “several hundred rounds of ammunition.”
According to a statement released by the Boston PD, the Boston Regional Intelligence Center received word of a threat by James Stumbo, 27, and Kevin Norton, 18, seen below:
Both suspects were originally invited to the Trading Card Game portion of the World Championships, and had traveled from Iowa to Boston. A few hours prior to Stumbo and Norton attempting to enter the championship on August 20, Boston PD was made aware of the threat, and they were able to stop the two from entering the event. After further investigation, detectives learned Stumbo and Norton’s vehicle possessed the firearms seen in the above photo. Because Stumbo and Norton were not able to produce a License to Carry, the car was seized, and the suspects were released pending an arrest warrant. The following day, the suspects were finally arrested at a hotel in Saugus.
After the arrest, the Pokémon Company released a statement to MyFoxBoston.com:
“Prior to the event this weekend, our community of players made us aware of a security issue. We gathered information and gave it as soon as possible to the authorities at the John B. Hynes Veterans Memorial Convention Center who acted swiftly and spearheaded communication with the Boston Police Department. Due to quick action, the potential threat was resolved. The Pokémon Company International takes the safety of our fans seriously and will continue to ensure proper security measures are a priority.”
Stumbo and Norton have been charged with unlawful possession of a firearm, unlawful possession of ammunition, among other offenses.

EVgo, REI, BMW, Nissan and the Regional Air Quality Council Celebrate National Drive Electric Week in Colorado
EVgo Opens DC Fast Charging Station in Denver, Further Benefitting Drivers all DC Fast-Capable EV Drivers with Convenient Charger Access in Key Metropolitan Areas
DENVER – September. 12, 2017 – EVgo, the nation’s largest network of public electric vehicle (EV) fast charging stations, BMW, REI, Nissan and the Regional Air Quality Council celebrated National Drive Electric Week together in Colorado to increase awareness of electric vehicles and the state’s $5,000 state tax credit for EV buyers. These more convenient charging options allow EV drivers to travel even farther with increased access to Colorado’s varied terrain and beauty.
As part of the National Drive Electric Week celebration, EVgo will unveil a DC Fast public charging station in Colorado during a ribbon cutting ceremony at REI’s Denver flagship store, on September 12. This 50 kWh dual-port charger is the 975th DC Fast charger on the EVgo network and one of 224 EVgo DC Fast chargers to be installed across 33 states by the end of 2017 as a result of EVgo, BMW and Nissan’s joint efforts to increase the growth of DC Fast charging infrastructure across the country for all EV drivers with DC Fast-capable vehicles. The expansion of public fast charging stations provides EV drivers with the charge they can easily go where they want to go and enable wider adoption of plug-in EVs.
The new DC Fast charging station, which is capable of charging up to 150 miles of range per hour, will give REI customers the ability to charge their electric vehicles easily while shopping for the latest outdoor equipment. EVs fit well into REI’s customer’s active and sustainability conscious lifestyles, as they’re able to charge up quickly before heading on to their next adventure in the great outdoors.
As part of their longstanding partnership with EVgo, starting at 11:00 a.m. BMW will offer attendees and REI shoppers the opportunity to test drive an electric BMW i3 or a plug-in hybrid electric BMW X5 xDrive40e iPerformance at Civic Center Park. All new BMW i3 vehicles in an EVgo metro area come with 2 years of complimentary charging on the EVgo network.
EVgo’s DC Fast chargers are 50 kW stations capable of charging EVs up to 80 percent in about 25-30 minutes, as compared to the longer time required to recharge at a Level 2 (240V) charger, currently the most commonly available public charging station. EVgo charging stations are strategically located near shopping and dining establishments along convenient, well-traveled routes to allow EV owners to travel with confidence.
The opening of the REI station marks the continued expansion of EVgo, BMW and Nissan’s multi-year partnerships to increase public access to DC Fast charging stations across the U.S. As a result of their work together, more than 90 percent of BMW i3 and Nissan LEAF drivers can easily take advantage of EVgo’s DC Fast charging stations nearby, in 33 states. BMW i3 and iPerformance drivers can easily locate the charging stations with ConnectedDrive in the vehicle, using either the in-vehicle Navigation or the BMW ConnectedApp. Nissan LEAF owners can find these chargers using the Nissan LEAF EZ-Charge smartphone app.
“At EVgo we are extremely proud to partner with BMW, Nissan, REI, the Regional Air Quality Council and National Drive Electric Week to continue to build out EV charging infrastructure,” said Rob Barrosa, Vice President of OEM Strategy and Business Development at EVgo. “Our partners are committed to building awareness for the EV revolution and preserving the environment through new technology, such as our DC Fast Chargers. This technology allows for customers to charge faster and travel farther, inspiring more customers to consider purchasing an electric vehicle.”
The State of Colorado has one of the greatest electric vehicle incentive programs in the country. On top of the federal tax credit, Colorado will also provide a $5,000 state tax credit. This has significantly reduced the cost of entry to the electric vehicle market in the state. With EVs becoming more available, the need for charging sites has increased steadily and Colorado is one of the state’s leading the charge with their forward-thinking approach to charging infrastructure. EVgo is adamant about supporting greater access to public DC Fast charging to make EV and PEV ownership even more enjoyable and to support the widespread adoption of these vehicles across the U.S.
“Nissan is fully committed to growing the wide-spread adoption of EVs and today’s new DC Fast Charger announcement is another important step in the right direction,” said Brian Maragno, director, Nissan EV Marketing and Sales Strategy. “Equipped with both CHAdeMO and CCS-style connections, this new site is open to charging for all EVs, advancing our vision of an electrified future.”
“Electric vehicles provide substantial air quality benefits through significantly reduced emissions, so each fast charger and EV sold is a step in the right direction,” said Steve McCannon, Program Director at the Regional Air Quality Council. “Extended battery ranges and additional DC Fast Chargers such as these at REI will greatly enable EV travel throughout the Metro Area and around the State allowing us to further enjoy the outdoors and our beautiful state.”
In attendance at the ribbon cutting ceremony at REI will be Rob Barrosa, Vice President of OEM Strategy and Business Development at EVgo, Ryan Bone, Aftersales Area Manager at BMW, Kirk Myers, Senior Manager of Sustainability at REI, and Matt Mines and Steve McCannon at the Regional Air Quality Council. The Ceremony will take place directly following Denver’s National Drive Electric Week event taking place at Civic Center Park on Sept. 12 from 9:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. The event will kick off with an informational session and will touch on a variety of EV-related topics including Charge Ahead Colorado, corridor planning, and bus electrification amongst several others.
EVgo currently operates the largest public DC Fast charging network in the country, with over 975 fast chargers in 66 of the top-selling automotive metro areas in the US, and supports all current charging standards. By owning and operating its charging stations, EVgo provides exemplary service and offers a
variety of flexible charging plans for drivers including pay-as-you-go, low-cost membership charging plans and unlimited charging plans for customers of partner OEMs, including BMW, Nissan and Ford.

Raf Handley Page Hastings Hawaiian Shirt
BUY HERE: Raf Handley Page Hastings Hawaiian Shirt
Raf Handley Page Hastings Hawaiian Shirt Development of the Hastings had been initiated during the Second World War in response to Air Staff Specification C.3/44, which sought a new large four-engined transport aircraft for the RAF. Early on, development of a civil-oriented derivative had been prioritised by the company, but this direction was reversed following an accident. On 7 May 1946, the first prototype conducted its maiden flight; testing revealed some unfavourable flight characteristics, which were successfully addressed via tail modifications. The type was rushed into service so that it could participate in the Berlin Airlift; reportedly, the fleet of 32 Hastings to be deployed during the RAF operation delivered a combined total of 55,000 tons (49,900 tonnes) of supplies to the city.
Raf Handley Page Hastings Hawaiian Shirt As the RAF’s Hastings fleet expanded during the late 1940s and early 1950s, it supplemented and eventually replaced the wartime Avro York, a transport derivative of the famed Avro Lancaster bomber. RAF Transport Command operated the Hastings as the RAF’s standard long-range transport; as a logistics platform, it contributed heavily during conflicts such as the Suez Crisis and the Indonesian Confrontation. A handful were also procured by the Royal New Zealand Air Force (RNZAF) to meet its transport needs. Beyond its use as a transport, several Hastings were modified to perform weather forecasting, training, and VIP duties. A civilian version of the Hastings, the Handley Page Hermes, was also produced, which only achieved limited sales. Hastings continued to be heavily used by RAF up until the late 1960s, the fleet being withdrawn in its entirety during 1977. The type was succeeded by various turboprop-powered designs, including the Bristol Britannia and the American-built Lockheed Hercules.

A number of people have asked me, “What are you going to do now?”
Well, the major goal is to reorganize my neglected house, including my office—both the massive paper and computer files.
While reorganizing, I am also researching (my preferred goal) the siblings and father of my great-great-grandfather Ralph Austin and Gary’s great-grandfather John W. Smith.
Ralph Austin’s father (according to my family story) was Joshua Austin, born 1748 in Suffield, CT. Those of you who have researched your family understand the challenges of locating recorded information and figuring out what to do with conflicting reports from different sources.
What does Ralph Austin’s father Joshua have to do with Halfway Brook? As many of you know, there were two Austin families who stayed in the Town of Lumberland, now the Town of Highland. It would be interesting to find out if Ralph Austin was the uncle of Benjamin C. Austin, father of Ira Austin, grandfather of Austin Smith (not me), the Town of Highland historian for many years.
And wouldn’t it be “icing on the cake” to find out that John W. Smith (who first shows up in an 1870 census as a boarder in Illinois) but family information indicates he was from Livingston County, NY, had some connection with Halfway Brook, Town of Lumberland/Highland.
