Going Through the Motions Ch. 16
Disclaimer: No, I don't own them. I only wish I did! Making no profit either here folks. Unbeta'ed so all mistakes are mine.
Previously: "Dean, I'm sorry to say that the crackling sounds in his lung have increased in frequency" Shane answered honestly. "If things continue this way, I will have to perform the Pericardiocentesis tomorrow or we risk Sam going into cardiac arrest."
Dean nodded his acknowledgement of the words Shane had said since his throat was suddenly too tight to speak. He knew within his heart that Sammy would end up having to have the procedure done because that was Winchester luck and there was no escaping it. He sighed as he ran his fingers through Sammy's hair. "Whatever happens little brother, I will be right there beside you every step of the way" he whispered as he thought about what the procedure would encompass. It scared him to even think about a needle being plunged into Sammy's chest, especially with all the things that could go wrong.
As John watched both of his sons, he couldn't help but feel a sense of pride in the way that Dean was so attentive towards his baby brother. Sure, he felt bad about having left the boys alone so much as they grew, but it had helped to establish a bond between the boys that could never be broken except by death. He shuddered as that last part crossed his mind praying that Sammy wouldn't be taken away from them just when he and his baby boy had finally became close once again.
"Hey Sammy, once you get out of here, I think we need to go see the Grand Canyon dude" Dean said trying to give his brother a reason to get better quickly. "We keep talking about it but we've never taken the time to actually do it. So I am promising you right now kiddo that I WILL take you to there if you'll just fight this and get better." Dean watched for signs that his brother had heard what he said. He was crestfallen to see that everything stayed the same as Sammy remained asleep. With a melancholy sigh, Dean lowered his head and placed it on Sammy's bed beside his brother's arm. He was just too damned tired to try and remain upbeat about the situation. Within moments, the sound of light snoring could be heard as Dean succumbed to sleep.
"Looks like the boys have the right idea" Bobby stated to the other hunters. "We could be in for a long day tomorrow depending on what happens so we better get some sleep ourselves." The others all nodded their assent as they stretched out on the floor or relaxed in the reclining chairs placed in Sammy's room. Just before he fell asleep, John counted his blessings of having good friends who were willing to stand beside them in their time of need.
Deep into the night, John and the others were startled awake as they heard a loud, shrill beeping sound going off in the room. Dean pushed himself up off the bed and John jumped to his feet just as Dr. Michaels and Nurse Ali came running into the room. "What the hell is happening" Dean asked, his voice tinged with fear.
"It looks like Sammy can't wait any longer" Shane stated as he viewed the readout on Sam's heart monitor. "Sam's heart is beginning to suffer from the fluid buildup in the pericardium. We're going to have to do the Pericardiocentesis procedure now. I'm sorry, but I must ask you all to wait out in the hallway while I perform the procedure."
"Sorry doc, but I'm not leaving" Dean stated firmly as he grasped Sammy's hand. "There's no way in hell I am going to leave him alone when you'll be sticking a frigging needle into his chest. I want him to know that somebody is here for him and that he's not alone."
Shane took a deep breath and was about to argue with Dean when he saw the desperate pleading look that begged for understanding in Dean's eyes. "I'll allow you to stay as long as you don't interfere and do exactly as I say. Of course your father will have to agree with this and you will need to scrub with some antibacterial soap to keep the room as sanitary as possible."
"Whatever you say doc" Dean agreed. He would agree to anything as long as it allowed him to remain by Sammy's side. He breathed a sigh of relief when his father consented to allow him to stay and then watched as John and the others left the room. He felt just a moment of guilt knowing how hard it must have been on his dad to walk out that door instead of staying himself. He would have to remember to thank his father for putting his own needs aside so that he could be with his baby brother.
Turning to the nurse by his side, Shane said "Ali, I need you to clean the area just below Sam's breastbone" as he gathered the equipment he would need to perform the procedure. He applied a local anesthetic to Sam's chest while Dean scrubbed up. Once Shane felt the area was numb enough, he inserted the Pericardiocentesis needle into Sam's chest using an echocardiogram machine to help position the needle. Once he had ascertained that the needle had reached the correct area, he placed a guide wire into Sam's chest and removed the needle and replaced it with a pericardial catheter to start withdrawing the fluid. Once the procedure was completed and the fluid had been drained from the pericardium, Shane allowed John and the others to come back into the room.
"Well, it took us a couple of hours, but we were able to remove enough fluid from the pericardium to allow Sam's heart to return to a normal sinus rhythm. I don't think we'll have any more problems since the infection also seems to be clearing up. I've added another sedative with a slight painkiller to Sam's IV which will allow him to rest comfortably the rest of the night. I suggest that some of you go home or to a nearby motel and get some rest yourselves since most of you are looking a little bedraggled."
"Thanks doc for your concern, but we'll get some rest once Sammy is totally out of danger" Bobby intoned for himself and the others knowing they felt the same way.
The following morning found Sammy feeling much better as he sat up in bed and watched the others sleeping, some of them on the floor. He smiled at the thought of the hunters giving up a night in a comfortable bed just to stay with him. He had always assumed that the only family he had was Dean and his dad, but now he knew just how wrong he was.
"They all love you ya know!"
Startled, Sam looked over to the other side of his bed to see Dean smiling at him with the biggest smile he had ever seen encompassing his brother's face.
"Each and everyone of them have been here throughout your whole illness Sammy, watching over you---over us I should say. I honestly don't know what we would have done without their support on the days that…well you know" Dean stated with a quiver in his voice as he grasped his brother's hand and gave it a squeeze.
"Yeah I know. Sorry I put all of you through so much worry" Sam apologized knowing what it must have did to Dean watching him suffer and not knowing if he would survive.
"Don't you do that Sammy, don't apologize for something you had no control over. We've gotten through it and that's all that matters now, well that and you getting out of this damned place so no more setbacks okay bitch" Dean said as he mussed Sam's hair.
"Jerk" Sam mused as he leaned into Dean's touch feeling enormous comfort in it.
"About damn time you woke up kiddo" John whispered as he pushed himself up off the cot that he had been sleeping on and walked over to his boys. "I thought you were going to pull a Rumplestilskin on us and cause me to go completely gray before my time."
"You mean you haven't already been coloring your hair old man?" Dean quipped with a smirk on his face and a gleam in his eyes.
"Watch it smartass or I might show you just how well this old man can still take you over his knee and pound some sense into that behind of yours" John deadpanned.
"Owwwkay then" Dean replied as he rubbed his stubbled jaw. He looked at Sammy with a sly look and said "Guess our old man is getting cranky in his old age."
"That's it" grumbled John as he quickly reached across Sammy's hospital bed and grabbed Dean by the front of his shirt and pulled him towards him. Before Dean could say a word, John leaned in and kissed his oldest on the cheek totally leaving Dean speechless. "What's the matter there Ace? Has the cat got your tongue?"
"Oh gross, that was just wrong" Dean stated as he reached up to wipe at his jaw. He suddenly heard the sound of laughter and looked over to see Jim, Joshua, Bobby and Caleb had all awakened and witnessed what John had done. His face turned a bright red as he realized he would most likely never be able to live the event down now. "One word out of any of you and I won't be responsible for what I do"
"Now Dean, why would you even think we would want to tell anybody about John kissing his little bitty boy?" Caleb jibed just before he felt a pillow smack him in the face. Soon the sounds of giggling could be heard throughout the ICU as Sammy and the others laughed at Caleb and Dean going at each other.
A week later Sammy was released from the hospital as the Winchesters loaded up the car and headed for Sioux City, South Dakota and Singer Salvage Yard. Bobby and the others had left three days prior to Sammy's release to clean and sanitize the place before Sammy's arrival. Sam was sleeping in the back seat with his head pillowed on Dean's shoulder while John did the driving. As John glanced every so often to the rearview mirror, he couldn't help but think about how lucky they were. Sammy had survived a deadly disease and their family had came out of it closer than they had ever been before and he had wonderful friends he could depend on and that loved his sons deeply.
The ride went relatively quick and before he knew it, John was pulling into Bobby's place. He parked the car as close to the front porch as possible so that Sammy wouldn't have to walk to far since he was still pretty weak from his bout with the MRSA. After he got out of the car, he reached in to help Sammy out and then wrapped his arm around Sam's waist in support as Dean stood on the other side of his brother ready to help if needed. They climbed the stairs quickly and was met at the door by Bobby who moved aside to allow them entrance into his house. Dean whistled in appreciation as he scanned the room. "Damn Bobby, you sure this is your house?" he asked as his eyes took in just how tidy the room now was. Books were no longer stacked all over the floors but had been placed on bookshelves along the walls. The carpet had been cleaned and the furniture had been dusted.
"Shut it ya idjit" Bobby said as he pulled Sam into a hug. "It sure is good to see you out of that hospital bed tiger. We got the upstairs room ready for you and that idjit brother of yours. When you're ready to eat, I've also got a pot of soup slow cooking on the stove."
"Thanks Bobby, maybe later" Sam replied as his dad led him over to the couch where Dean had already placed a throw pillow so he could lay down and get some more rest. He had no sooner sat down than his dad kneeled on the floor and started pulling his shoes off.
"Dad, I'm not an invalid" Sam groaned in a tired voice.
"Didn't say you were kiddo, but I'm your dad and it's my right to take care of you so get used to it. Whether you like it or not, you're going to be mother-henned until we decide your well enough for it to stop.
"Great" groaned Sam through a yawn as he felt his dad lift his legs and place them on the couch while Dean placed a blanket over him. He fell asleep thinking maybe this wouldn't be so bad after all.
THE END Thanks to all of you who read and/or reviewed as it truly made the story so much more easier to write knowing what you liked.

This was inspired by the time my firstborn got up from a nap quietly when she was about 18 months old and toddled into the living room. Before I could get to her : she ate one of my tiny hoop pierced earrings I had sitting on an end table. This was a kid generally did not put things in her mouth, a kid that could spit peas and sweet potatoes out like a pro - nope the earring went straight down. I flipped out and called my doctor and she told me to watch her for 24 hours because those things usually passed on through - sure enough the next day I found my earring. So what would happen a baby ate flower seeds? This is acrylics, gouache, watercolor on heavy board with a photo from 1957 of a little baby girl sprouting pretty flowers from her wazoo.

Description by OLDIES.com:
On a lonely stretch of road, Range Busters Ray "Crash" Corrigan, John "Dusty" King and Max "Alibi" Terhune see three gunslingers kill a man in a speeding buckboard. The Range Busters rescue the victim's infant son. Like three godfathers, our heroes tend to the baby, while investigating the mystery of the father's murder. The shooting was arranged by a crooked attorney, who now targets the Range Busters for elimination.
The second installment in Monogram's four-year Range Busters series, Trailing Double Trouble gives plenty of screen time to Terhune's dummy Elmer and also shows us that, even in a saloon, heroes Corrigan and King are milk-drinkers. The boy baby at the center of the plot is played by "Dusty" King's infant daughter Nancy. - Tom Weaver

Interesting idea with the Decepticons attacking. Accurate on the hologramps popping out, military kids knowing to duck and cover and the girls freaking out at the Decepticons.
Example of the wording: YOURS
Bee, Sunny, and Sides figured out that now would be a good time to show up. So activated their holoforms, and made themselves look as if they'd been through the crisis as well, which wasn't hard.
"That's it, the battle is over," Sideswipe said.
"Beats fighting my English assigment. I still aren't sure its worth learning," Sunstreaker complained, rubbing at a scratch in his yellow armor.
::Am not sure it is worth learning:: Bumblebee corrected over their internal comms.
"Whatever. Now would be a good time to show up, before the others realize we are missing," Sunstreaker returned to the high school side parking lot, transforming his metal body back to his alt mode and materializing his hologram. Bumblebee and Sideswipe copied him, their holograms moving past the NEST soldiers.
TIP: Write out the sentences then turn them into the bots or people speaking with small details added in. Your concept is a good one and worth reading. Waiting for more.
| hummergrey chapter 1 . 6/10/2010
Good concept especially with the major twins Sideswipe and Sunstreaker being stuck in high school. Good detailing on them using their middle names as their designations, Prime disabling their internet connections and the noise of humans together being overwhelming.
Little rough on the wording being more "this and that happened" than being present tense and in the action but still good.
| Botosphere chapter 2 . 6/8/2010
Enter the 'cons! :) I LOL'd at the girls screaming and refusing to calm down until they could get their arms around the boys - just too much fun. Update soon! :D ~ Eowyn77
| Psuedonymous Bosch chapter 1 . 5/25/2010
I Luv it...Can you keep writing more? PLEASE! I bake you cookies ;D
| Anodythe chapter 1 . 5/11/2010
Aha...so this is where Zoey comes from! I like her already. She'll have some great protectors and friends in the Bots. I hope you continue this story. What happens when they all get to gym class? Do they take sex ed? Sunny would love French I think! Oh and maybe there's shop and Home Ec. Oh, you have such possibilities. Don't stop writing!
| Rainspiral chapter 1 . 2/18/2010
Is this the right button? I hope so and I hope you keep up this story. I to see to many good idea dies from the author not waiting until chapter ten to get huffy over review small ness. But this is good so I am sure you will get tones!
| Botosphere chapter 1 . 2/17/2010
LOL Oh dear - the 'Vette twins playing matchmaker? :) I haven't seen a 'bots in high school fic before. This promises to be good! :) You've also got me curious about Zoey. WHY is everyone giving her such a hard time? Is she kind of a Luna Lovegood character? She doesn't seem too out-there, but I hope we get to see a little more deeply into her character. And yes, 'Bee would very much be the kind to stand up for someone who's being picked on. Can't wait for more! ~ Eowyn77

Many of us (geeks?) who grew up in the right era were inspired by Douglas Hofstadter's book Gödel, Escher, Bach: An Eternal Golden Braid ("GEB"). My dad introduced me to it via his copy. (If you haven't read it … it's fascinating stuff.) On the cover was a photo of some cleverly-carved blocks of wood, shaped just right so that spotlights shining through them along each of the three axes cast the shadows of the initials in the book's title: E, G, B.
Like probably many other GEB fans, I tried my hand at designing shadow blocks like these, for different sets of letters. About 20 years ago (!), while working for a software company, I used POV-Ray to mock up a shadow-block logo for the product we were working on. That was done by designing the letters manually, using virtual cylinder and sphere primitives. The result was satisfactory, but I didn't really go beyond those three letters.
Then yesterday I ran across a neat Instructable about making this kind of shadow block out of wood. The author astutely notes that designing how the letter shapes intersect each other is "actually the most important, but also probably the most difficult [step]. All you need to do is draw your initials on each side of the cube, and imagine what shape will result when you cut them out."
As much fun as it is to imagine 3D shapes, I got to wondering how well the "imagining" step could be automated. If you get letter shapes of the right size, and could use CSG to intersect them, you could often produce something that fulfilled the requirements, even if the resulting shapes were not the most aesthetically pleasing. (Not always… because, depending on the choice of letters, the ordering, and the characteristics of the typeface, it's sometimes not possible to design a block that casts the right shadows.)
As I looked into doing this automated version in POV-Ray, I was pleased to find that letters made from True-Type fonts were primitives that could be manipulated by CSG commands like Intersect. That made it pretty easy to plug in the desired three letters, and attempt to construct a shadow block. Here's the code:

And here's the result, for the letters GEB, using the Impact font that comes with Windows:
It's interesting to me how similar this automatically-constructed wood shape looks to the manually (I assume) designed upper block on the cover of GEB. Maybe there are not that many options. Here's how it works with a less "black" font, cyrvetic.ttf that comes with POV-Ray:
Note that this POV-Ray code scales each letter to the size of a unit cube. If you use a skinny letter like I, it will get stretched wide and will look pretty strange. Also, serif typefaces don't work very well:
I plugged in the initials of each person in our family…
etc. Lots of fun!

Comment La Jetée (Score 2) 1222
The best science fiction movie of all time is a short (half-hour) black/white French film called "La Jetée" [translates as the airport's observation deck]. It is in the format of scanned photos with narration, like Ken Burns' PBS documentaries.
A child sees a man crumble and die while visiting Paris Orly airport's observation deck in 1962. Shortly after there is total nuclear war. Because he is obsessed with this image of a man's death, he is selected to be a guinea pig in an experiment to send him time traveling into the future in order to get an energy source to restart civilization. He succeeds in moving in time, but always ends up in the pre-war era. There, he meets a beautiful woman and falls in love.
It doesn't sound like much, but it is a true masterpiece. MIT even published a coffee-table book detailing every scene.
It is super low-budget. One scene that shows the Arc of Triumph in Paris with a huge chunk blown out of it actually has a pin hole from a thumbtack displayed in it.
David Bowie did a homage to it in video for a song from his Black Tie/White Noise album in the early 1990s.
It is available on DVD from most big-city library systems.

At Östergötland Museum and its subsidiaries around the region, you will find even more information about Östergötland – what it was like yesterday, what it's like today and how the region is being shaped for the future!
If you're looking for rich cultural life, lively nightclubs and exciting restaurants, Östergötland offers that times two! Norrköping and Linköping complement each other perfectly for visitors, and it is easy to go between the cities on the Östgötapendeln commuter train.
If you want to experience all the nuances of Östergötland's nature, then a hike along the beautiful Östgötaleden Hiking Trail is a good choice. The experience varies depending on which part of the majestic 1200 kilometres you choose. Why not hike along a part in Valdemarsvik for the archipelago, Ydre for the wilderness and Mjölby for the plains?
Sweden'sbiggest cycle festival, Vätternrundan, is arranged annually in Motala, Östergötland's seaside town. If you are more interested in enjoying nature, asuggestion is to head east on your cycle along Göta Canal or along the winding forestroads in the south and north. If you have a mountain bike, there are fun andchallenging trails including on Mount Omberg and by Lake Sörsjön.

Östergötland is beautifully located between the clear water of Lake Vättern and the exciting Archipelago of Östergötland. The big bodies of water are connected by Motala Ström and, naturally, Sweden's biggest structure Göta Canal. The water is present everywhere in the region: River Svartån flows from the highland in the southwest and the canoe-friendly River Lotorpsån from the north. There are thousands of lakes of varying sizes in Östergötland, and you are sure to find your own favourite! We can also suggest Kinda Canal, which will take you through the city centre of Linköping, via the oak landscape and pastures, through lakes and winding rivers to the beautiful Lake Åsunden. If you don't have your own boat, there are passenger boats that offer trips along this lovely idyll – or as we say 'Eighty kilometres of wonderful Swedish summer!
Östgötatrafiken is responsible for public transport in the region. On its homepage www.ostgotatrafiken.se, you'll find updated timetables, stops and price information.
Potato pancakes with (or without) crispy fried bacon and uncooked lingonberryjam is considered Östergötland's province dish.

WINTER Template Color Coding vs. Abbreviations to Teach Word Order 01 KMUTT Punjaporn Pojanapunya Wilaksana Srimavin King Mongkut's University of Technology Thonburi http://arts.kmutt.ac.th/crs/workshop.htm
02 'Many university modern language teachers bemoan the 'fact' that their students do not have any metalanguage'. … If students simply need metalinguistic knowledge in order to understand language classes because such metalanguage is in common use, one possible options is to change the way one teaches, and avoid using metalanguage. Such suggestions are, however, frequently met with blank looks, and after some reflection, the assertion that students need to learn metalanguage anyway, since many will go on to become teachers. The assumption that teachers need to have metalanguage goes unchallenged.' Alderson, J.C. (1997) Is metalanguage needed?
03 Assumptions: Is metalanguage needed? YesNo Teach metalanguage (parts of speech) Is metalanguage needed?
04 Are metalingual terms needed? "Writers tend to avoid using it a great deal when writing for low proficiency learners but the provision of glossaries of terms in most Pedagogic Grammar books bears testimony to a widely held view that some learner acquaintance with key terms is worthwhile." Fortune, A. (2005)
05 Are metalingual terms needed? YesNo (Abbreviations)(Colors) Are metalingual terms needed?
06 To study the effectiveness of using color codes and abbreviations on word ordering in sentences Purpose
07 Methods Subjects 61 undergraduates at (KMUTT) Course: Fundamental English III (LNG103) Faculty: Sciences English proficiency: Average 2 groups: Abbreviations (ABB)31 subjects Color codes(COL)20 subjects

25 Conclusion Use of color coding Use of abbreviations Use of metalanguage No change Receptive use of language No changeImprovement Productive use of language No change
26 Discussion Problems in research methodology The relationship between metalanguage and language learning
27 Problems in research methodology - Timing - Subject selection
28 Timing "…massed practice can be more effective than distributed practice in classroom learning, especially in the case of second/ foreign languages." Serrano, R. and Munoz C. (2007: 319)
WINTER Template 29 Subject selection - Hoped for equal groups - Differences in language proficiency - Can be controlled through statistics (gained scores) - Differences in motivation and attentiveness
30 The relationship between metalanguage and language learning "The relationship between metalinguistic knowledge and language proficiency is weak. Metalinguistic knowledge and language proficiency appear to constitute two separate factors of linguistic ability" Alderson et al. (1997: 118)
31 Does metalanguage help with language performance? - No changes in use of metalanguage - Nearly no changes in use of language No relationship identifiable Should metalanguage be taught through abbreviations (terminology) or color coding? - No changes for color coding - Small change for abbreviations Grammatical terminology may be preferable Students' familiarity with terms

Striped Bass with Cucumber Broth
This inventive dish uses a flavorful broth of cucumber, garlic, and thyme to help infuse pan-fried striped sea bass for a meal that helps you break out of your typical meat-and-potatoes rut.
- Servings: 6
Source: Martha Stewart Living, July 2002
- 2 1/2 pounds cucumbers, peeled and seeded
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons prepared horseradish
- 1/2 teaspoon coarse salt, plus more for seasoning
- 6 fillets striped bass (about 6 ounces each)
- 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- Freshly ground pepper
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 1/2 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves, plus whole sprigs for garnish
Cut 1 cucumber into 1/2-inch-thick slices; set aside. Pass remaining cucumbers through a juicer; you should have about 3 cups juice. Set aside.
In a medium bowl, whip cream to soft peaks. Stir in horseradish and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Cover with plastic wrap, and place in refrigerator until ready to use.
Using a sharp knife, make shallow slits in skin side of fish. Heat oil in a large ovenproof nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until it is very hot. Season both sides of fish fillets with salt and pepper, and place in pan skin side down. Cook until skin is browned, about 5 minutes; turn, and saute until fish is cooked through, about 5 minutes more. Transfer fish to warm shallow serving bowls.
Add garlic and reserved cucumber slices to pan; cook over low heat until cucumber is soft and translucent. Add reserved cucumber juice and the thyme leaves; cook just until mixture is hot. Season with salt and pepper. Ladle cucumber broth and slices around fish; garnish with horseradish cream and thyme sprigs.

Take the Next Step to Shopify Growth
Store owners come to me (Joshua) because they demand more profit from their Shopify store. I work with stores all over the globe. If you haven't read my services to grow your store, most start from AU$700 per month.
Please take five minutes to share your store, what problems you're having, and how you think I can help. I delete requests that simply say "I need SEO". I want your success so put in effort to demonstrate you are a serious business owner. I look forward to hearing from you:
Joshua has outstanding knowledge of Shopify sites…to improve them. He is blunt and honest with his feedback, and comes up with a range of actionable ideas, many of which we implemented, resulting in improvements in our conversion rate. We'd definitely recommend him to others.Nick Paulson-Ellis
Joshua is amazing to work with! He is smart, clear and concise. Josh is a great addition to our team and is finding new revenue optimization opportunities every month.Len
We previously worked with a large UK Shopify agency. Wanting to take our store to the next level of profit and suspecting things could be better…Josh did conversion work redesigning the store and took over our Google Shopping campaigns with parameters set for spend and return on investment.
Compared to last year, transactions are up 43% and the conversion rate has increased 41%. We've had the biggest month in our history during what would normally be the quietest period all year.
I recommend Digital Darts to other firms if they want to grow quickly, understand their business, and the specific barriers to customers converting.Tracy Hodgson

Making your own plaster bandages is a great way to save money. Plaster bandages can be used for medical purposes or for casting body parts for art. Getting the consistency for the plaster correct can take a few tries, but once you get it down, the process is easy. Plaster bandages should be used immediately after making or stored for only short periods of time, as they do not keep long.

- Bucket of water
Show MoreHide
- 1
Lay down some newspaper on the floor to avoid getting dry plaster everywhere. Fill a bucket with lukewarm water and place it on the newspaper.
- 2
Dip a roll of gauze in the water bucket. Wring the gauze dry by squeezing the water out. It only needs to be damp enough to hold the plaster powder on it.
- 3
Unroll the gauze flat on the floor and sprinkle the dry plaster lightly over the gauze.
- 4
Gently rub the plaster powder into the damp gauze. You can then either roll it back up or create layered slabs by folding the gauze on top of itself.
- 5
Store the gauze or use it that day. To store the gauze, roll it back up and wrap it in dry newspaper or put it in a plastic bag and then store it in an airtight container. Plaster bandages can spoil by absorbing too much moisture, so do not make too many at one time.
- 6
Dip the plaster bandages in lukewarm water and apply as you would a store-bought bandage. If you find there is not enough plaster powder on the bandage, you can sprinkle more on and rub it smooth with water on your hands.

Van de Sompel is an enthusiastic talker and really does his best to take the audience in the world of scientometrics. I am a fan. Have a look at the subjects of this blog. The Mesur project is about a totally new set of data analysis of scholarly communication moving partly away citation data to actual downloading and clicking behaviour and perhaps reading habits. Their goal is to develop new metrics.
Really interesting stuff. But still really a little bit beyond most libraries.

Photographers have often used self portraiture to explore their art and themselves. This class will focus on using self portraiture to grow and explore not only as an artist but as a human being. You will look at vision, technique and voice. You need to bring a camera that has a self timer and/or a remote shutter.
Self-portraiture has helped shape me as a photographer and as a woman; it has been a touchstone and a way to find confidence in my work and in myself. Self-portraits are the personal work that keeps my creative engines fed. I wrote a bit more about what it means to me in my post two years ago, here, so on to the details!
I'm so excited to be bringing my self portrait workshop to my art studio downtown Ann Arbor. Each Tuesday in April from 6pm to 8pm no more then 10 of us will meet for instruction, discussion and to share our work Our focus will be self portraiture with a camera but artists who work in other mediums and want to explore this genre are more than welcome. We'll be working together to explore learning how to not only take an effective self-portrait but how self-portraiture can be used to inspire our art and build confidence. This will be my fifth time offering this class and I can't wait to see what we can learn and create this time!
Enrollment is limited and the cost is $275.00 per person
You can sign up securely here.
If you have any questions please don't hesitate to email or leave a comment!!
If there is enough interest in another session I'll be rolling out a Photographers Eye I and Photographers Eye II later in the year. If you are interested in hearing more about classes offered in the future and updates only about learning opportunities please :

Plywood Shear Walls[Subject Prev][Subject Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next]
- To: SEAOSC List Server <seaint(--nospam--at)seaint.org>
- Subject: Plywood Shear Walls
- From: "Skarin, Eric" <skarin(--nospam--at)hninc.com>
- Date: Wed, 1 Dec 1999 10:42:48 -0800
I have been providing construction support for the seismic upgrade of a wood building in Orange County. My responsibility for this project is to provide the contractor with revisions to the contract details when it is determined that the existing structural conditions are different than the ones we assumed in our design. The client has a construction inspector on staff who has been present during the construction to assure that the work is proceeding according to our plans. Part of the work involves opening up existing plywood shear walls and adding new, or replacing existing holdowns. The inspector has been taking photographs to document the work being done and has provided us with a copy of the photos. I have had a high level of confidence in both the contractor and the inspector based on my observations of the work and conversations with them. However, I noticed one, and possibly several problems recorded in the photographs which I need to make sure are resolved. One problem has to do with the edge nailing of the plywood replaced after the installation of holdowns. The contractor cut the existing plywood above the sill plate and apparantly did not block and and nail the plywood edges at that location. The walls have all been finished with gypboard and painted. I am going to have the contractor remove the finish at the ends of several shear walls to verify that the plywood edges have been blocked and nailed. A second concern I have is the width of the plywood used to replace existing plywood at holdown locations, as well as the width of remaining plywood panels after the removal of a piece for access to the holdowns. It is obvious from the photographs that the widths of the plywood replacement pieces are less than 24". Our plans, and revised details provided for the contractor, clearly show a 24" minimum width for plywood panels, whether the plywood is new or existing. Upon reading Section 2314.5.3 of the 1994 UBC, I found that the code does not limit the width of plywood for diaphragms as long as all the edges are blocked and nailed. Have I correctly interpreted the intent of the code? Also, whether or not the code allows it, is there a good reason to limit the width of plywood panels if the edges are all nailed?

Quality Goods Beat Japan-Bashing Ads
Published: July 24, 1990
To the Editor:
Your report on American advertising attacks on Japan (front page, July 11) raises an essential issue for all of us that you did not mention: our national self-image, and our eroding ability to compete energetically in the world marketplace with quality products and services.
For a decade, we have been fed a stream of images instead of issues by our political leadership. The smile, wave and shoeshine that wiped away all debate of complex issues, has, we fear, become the new American way of responding to problem solving.
We have lived in Japan and have done business there. We experienced few problems that arose from our different cultures. What was required was to become informed and sensitive to Japanese culture, needs and expectations, and to apply common sense to business relations.
It is embarrassing to read about racist anti-Japanese advertising by Pontiac dealers. The reason the Japanese account for 28 percent of our auto market is simple: they analyzed our needs and delivered superior products. Isn't that in the spirit of good old American competition?
Meanwhile, let's back off from that kind of sophomoric sleaze in advertising that is so demeaning to Americans. Instead, let us address ourselves to becoming more mature in the global marketplace and compete with quality, not negative images.

Six vintage full-plate gelatin silver photographs (each approximately 165 x 220 mm, uncut paper size) of Townsville. Uncredited and undated, but from internal evidence, probably 1890s. All six images show different aspects of the rapidly developing township, including the central business district, the Ross River precincts, Fountain's Jetty with part of the Queen's Hotel, North Beach, and Castle Hill and its surroundings. Expert conservation to a few short edge tears and one corner; one photograph is creased down the centre and has been backed with acid-free paper; some light foxing; overall an excellent suite of rich sepia-toned images

Higher Education
Steven Lavine will be stepping down in 2017 after a historic three-decade tenure at the arts school
envisioned by Walt Disney. seen a lot of change in Los art scene during that time.
What is the role of an institution such as CalArts in the life of a city? CalArts feeds and
attracts the next generation of two generations: established artists for the faculty
and the next generation of students who will inspire people in this city.
What is one way that the art scene has changed since been here? Galleries are a
visible manifestation of change: Smaller ones show younger artists and larger ones feed them as
they grow up. That process started in about 1970. generation of graduates really had
to leave town because there was no gallery scene. Some people stayed behind and started galleries, and now many of our graduates in visual arts stay in LA.
one thing that inspires you about LA? This may sound strange, but LA have
such good taste. In a way, good taste is a surrogate for saying you like the way things
a right set of colors, way to dress or food to enjoy. LA has this attitude,
which leads to a visual adventure. no right way to be, right neighborhood to live in. a
reason so much adventuresome work gets done here, because not as burdened by the past.

|Me in 2009, photo "touched up"
for the release of my novel
I am Susie, a rural Midwest gal, born and raised. And I am an entrepreneur.
I love the rural way of life and being a country girl. As far as I'm concerned, being Country is a state-of-mind. It has nothing to do with location.
It's an attitude, a yearning and love for all that the wide open spaces can provide.
In fact, I like to say "you may take the girl out of the country, but you will never take the country out of the girl."
A long time ago, I decided I loved design - in nature, in clothing and home decor. The colors - the smells - the unpretentious sincerity. Ordinary was just ... well, ordinary, and needed to be improved upon.
As I grew older, incorporating the designs and colors of nature into a wardrobe and accessories interested me. So I did.
What Is Country Shabby Chic?
The style I most prominently feature in my designs - from jewelry & jewelry organizers to home decor, often takes on a Country Shabby personality.
Shabby Chic closely mimics the appearance of what is "time-worn" and "aged", a nostalgic look for interior design. Country Chic incorporates the look and personality of the 'country', both in fashion and in home furnishings. Combine them in design, and it is a neat look.
I am Susie Schade-Brewer, currently the owner and curator of three Etsy shops, and now this new blog where I can share the things I have learned about design in crafts and in jewelry. {I hope I have learned a few things along the way.} And I am excited to learn from other crafters.
I wrote a novel that took 6 months to write, but another 2 years to edit for publication. Since I was a girl, I wanted to write an historical fiction novel. So I did.
|Me now - not touched up. Ha!
That project happened at a very traumatic time in my life when "escaping my own world" for another's was highly advantageous to my sanity, and somewhere during the process, I once again found "me."
Rural Woman Enterprises (that's just me) was founded in 2011, and has been providing quality jewelry, jewelry organizers and shabby chic home decor to the public ever since. You can read some of the testimonials here. Located in Adrian Missouri (USA). Thanks for stopping by!
The Entrepreneurial Spirit As a 'Rural-Preneur'I have great respect for those who work at being self-employed. Self-employment takes commitment. For me, the most challenging part is the wearing of all the hats -- creator, accountant, curator, marketer, customer service representative, writer, blogger, shopper, chief cook and bottle washer ... ha, the list goes on! And if you don't how to do any of those things, then you have two choices. Either hire someone to help you (strongly suggested), or as in my case, get busy and learn how.
Much of what you will find here has to do with starting and running a rural-based business - out of the house - out of the barn - out of the shed - out of the soil. The basic principles are the same as starting any other business, but with emphasis on the challenges of operating in a country setting. Or what I like to call being a "Rural-Preneur."
You will also find lots here to do with animals and everyday life.
- The efforts to save America's wild horse horse herds from extinction
- Caring for our pets

Cool Creek Designs on Etsy (formerly Save The Wild Horse Creations) Artisan-Made Country Chic and Boho inspired Jewelry and GiftsI love working with my hands, whether it is in creating a beautiful, sculpted flower garden with petunias and a wagon wheel, creating an artful piece of jewelry, or refinishing and up-cycling a piece of vintage home decor.

Besides this site, I create, curate and sell Country Shabby Chic home decor in two different Etsy shops, Country Chic Shoppe. and KnobSnobbery. Please take a look while you are here.
Why "for the horses?" Because with each purchase made through this or any of my shops, a donation is sent to a non-profit horse or burro rescue operation. If you have a minute, visit and 'Like" my Save The Wild Mustangs Facebook page. http://www.facebook.com/SaveTheWildMustangsLinks of Interest:

HWTrek has created the collaboration platform over the past two and a half years that has fast grown to become the largest hardware IoT ecosystem with more than 1,300 IoT hardware projects, more than 4,900 individual creators, and the 900 most relevant manufacturers and solution providers.
Workshop topics
HWTrek has already successfully matched more than 700 projects with manufacturers and other experts. The HWTrek workshop addresses questions almost every creator encounters during the hardware creation process:
- What different kinds of manufacturers are there? Which one is the right one for my project?
- Where do I find a suitable factory? How do I approach a factory and what kind of documentation do I need?
- How do I make sure that I get the best price? What do I need to know beyond BOM and NRE cost?
- How does an OEM/ODM work? Who is involved in the production process and what are their roles?
- What do I have to contribute as a hardware creator and how do I ensure that my project will be successful?
Startup accelerators can request the workshop here: HWTrek Supply Chain Workshops
Workshop Mentors
The workshops will be provided by Martin Feuerhahn, Chief Project Mentor at HWTrek. Martin has more than 20 years experience working in Asia for multinational IT companies and founded several start-ups in hardware, software, and mobile apps. Prior to joining HWTrek he sourced and shipped hundreds of different IT and consumer electronics products for billion-dollar companies like Actebis or Medion. As HWTrek Project Mentor he helps innovative hardware start-ups to navigate the complexity of hardware projects in general and especially with the outsourced production services in Taiwan and China.
Changtsong Lin has been helping startups and enterprises to develop and manufacture their products in Shenzhen, China. Prior to joining HWTrek he offered manufacturing service to enterprises like Harman International as well as start-ups with a Swiss-owned contract manufacturing company. As HWTrek Director of Project Management in Shenzhen, he helps innovative hardware start-ups by diagnosing their current supply chain strategies and providing technical and commercial project management suggestions to overcome difficulties involved with outsourced manufacturing in China and set up specific supply chains tailored to the unique circumstances of each hardware creator.
