In the winter especially after 2-3 days of rain I don't get enough sun and run out of power. Rather than upgrade to bigger batteries or adding another battery pack I opted to get one of these lithium back up battery units. I can recharge it offsite or when sunny, onsite.
I just came back from a trip to Washington for our annual convention. The trip had some high points and some unexpected (and unwanted) excitement. On Friday night at 4:18 a.m. we were all awakened by a fire alarm. Everyone evacuated the building as six fire trucks arrived. This was no prank. There was a fire on the 7th floor with billowing black smoke. Fortunately they put it out with no injuries. I was able to get back into my 8th floor room (no elevators!) after a couple of hours. Some people had left in a big hurry and were in their pajamas and bare feet. I think they gave people sheets to try to keep warm during the time we were all outdoors.

The Olive-backed Sunbird, Cinnyris jugularis, also known as the Yellow-bellied Sunbird, is a species of sunbird found from Southern Asian to Australia.
The sunbirds are a group of very small Old World passerine birds which feed largely on nectar, although they will also take insects, especially when feeding young. Their flight is fast and direct on their short wings. Most species can take nectar by hovering, but usually perch to feed most of the time.
The Olive-backed Sunbird is common across southern China to the Philippines and Malaysia down to northeast Australia. They are small songbirds, at most 12cm long. In most subspecies, the underparts of both male and female are bright yellow, the backs are a dull brown colour. The forehead, throat and upper breast of the adult male is a dark, metallic blue-black. In the Philippines the males of some subspecies have an orange band on the chest, in Wallacea and northern New Guinea some subspecies have most of the underparts blackish, and in southern China and adjacent parts of Vietnam most of the underparts of the male are greyish-white.
Originally from mangrove habitat, the Olive-backed sunbird has adapted well to humans, and is now common even in fairly densely populated areas, even forming their nests in human dwellings.
The birds mate between the months of April and August. Both the male and the female assist in building the nest which is flask-shaped, with an overhanging porch at the entrance, and a trail of hanging material at the bottom end.
After building the nest, the birds abandon the nest for about a week before the female returns to lay one or two greenish-blue eggs. The eggs take a further week to hatch. The female may leave the nest for short periods during the day during incubation. After the chicks have hatched, both male and female assist in the care of the young, which leave the nest about two or three weeks later.

Another Pullip that I love stock, but her wig is horrible. I've had her for almost three years now and I've only played with her once. I'm too afraid that I'll ruin her hair.
Also? Recently I've been giving all of my dolls this messy sort of braid. I love it.
I also never actually got her a new body. She is still on the mishmash body consisting of Volks, Venus and other various Pullip T2 parts. I'm a bad dolly owner :P
It's the most important meal of the day -- and there's nothing like a personalized plate and bowl set to emphasize the point.
Maura had these made for the kids as an extra special back to school gift.
Loco 80072 moves from the front to the back of the train, at Carrog, to pull it back to Llangollen. it has had to push back from Corwen as there is no passing track there.
Drove back to Lhasa in the snow. It felt dangerous on icy, snow covered road without chain. The van skidded a few times. What's worse are the trucks from on-coming traffic, and some sections have no guard rails.
Today we went back to Bergen. Our vacation is over. We drove all the way in a tiny, silver car. Took a lot of ferries, and went back to work the day after. See you next year summer!
