Part of any culvert project includes relocating fish and other aquatic species downstream of the project area. During this work through Gribble Creek on SR 9 in Skagit County more than 3,000 Coho salmon, Cutthroad trout, newts, salamandars, crawdads and more were removed and relocated downstream.
Images of some of the original Robotic, Science and Interactive Art Exhibits that MRISAR’s R&D Team has designed and fabricated.
In 2010 MRISAR, (a business that has Designed, Fabricated & Marketed the Earth’s Largest Selection of “Internationally Renowned & Awarded, World-Class Robotics Exhibits & Devices”; and “Hands On” Scientific, Technological & Interactive Art Exhibits), purchased a disused school on the plains of North Dakota and relocated to it. Profit from their International Exhibit Sales helps fund their Humanitarian R&D and the transformation of the 36,000 sq. ft. complex, surrounded by 10 acres in North Dakota, into a World-Class “Interactive, Robotics, Technology, Invention, Art & Nature Center”.
Description of MRISAR’s “Interactive; Robotics, Technology, Invention, Art & Nature Center”.
1- Our 7,000 sq. ft. Exhibit Hall will feature; our standard line of interactive robotic & technology exhibits that we sell to Centers world-wide and our exclusive collection of robotic exhibits & devices that we will not sell to anyone else. Our talking Rail Robot Guide will lead visitors through the exhibit hall. Interact with our innovative, lifelike, futuristic, Robotic creations. Examples; Play with & feed Artificial Life forms in a Robot Zoo! Challenge robots with your human intelligence! Interact with otherworldly artistic, interactive, robotic sculptures! It will also feature Responsible Technologies.
2- Our Art Galleries will display the hundreds of pieces of family friendly, original 2D, 3D and Interactive Art that our team has already created, plus have revolving Family Oriented Local Artists Exhibitions.
3- The surrounding 10 acres is slowly being transformed into an Outdoor Interactive Art & Nature Area that will be filled with paths, trees, gardens and kinetic & interactive, solar & wind, technological art sculptures. The emphasis is edible, medicinal & organic landscapes that promote sustainability & health. As of 2015 over 3,000 edible and medicinal trees and shrubs have been planted.
4- We will provide “Special Tours” of behind the scenes areas. Examples are; (a) our Humanitarian & Environmental Research & Development Think Tank Invention labs that feature our R & D Projects. (b) the actual workshops where the attractions are created (similar to visiting the workshops & creations of Jim Henson’s creature shop). (c) a behind the scenes view of the production studio for the web series we are creating called the “Mysterious Lab of Robotics” (our robotic version of “Bill Nye the Science Guy” or “Beakman’s World”). (d) a chance to meet MRISAR’s internationally renowned robotics R & D team. A four member family team who since 2000 has designed, fabricated & marketed the earth’s largest selection of world-class robotic exhibits. The 2 youngest members joined the team as preschoolers.
5- “Public Enrichment Events”. Examples are; (a) special overnight events called “A Night with the Robots” (available no-where else in the world). Families can make reservations to spend the night on the center floor in sleeping bags or cots and experience special robotic demonstrations in a futuristic atmosphere. In recent years “A Night at the Museum” events have become very popular and highly accepted. (b) special classes on robotics for the general public. (c) Robotics Competitions. We are already providing technical assistance to teachers and academic establishments (both in the state and outside of the country), that are trying to enter robotic competitions, but lack the knowledge to fully instruct and inspire their students. A natural progression for this, once we are open for tourism, would be to offer to hold regional, national and international competitions at our location. (d) International conferences regarding Robotics and Beneficial R & D Conferences. (e) Collaborations, enrichment classes and internships in enhanced technologies with higher academic establishments; combining elements such as Cybernetics, Bionics, Mechatronics, Autonomics, Animatronics & Teleoperation.
6- Admission will be free to the underprivileged. We hope to inspire the upcoming generation to create careers in responsible technologies that improve the quality of life.
7- The proceeds from the Center will help fund our R & D and further our creation of a “Prototype Environment, low cost, low impact, self-sustaining, alternative energy powered, Humanitarian & Environmental Research & Development institute with Think Tank Invention labs”. Our purpose is to invent and present responsible, low cost and easy to implement, beneficial humanitarian and environmental based technologies and methods that assist with social, ecological, sustainable and economic solutions. Accomplishing the prototype environment alone requires research & development of new technologies & improvement of existing technologies.
We have Designed, Fabricated & Marketed the Earth’s Largest Selection of "Internationally Renowned & Awarded" World-Class Robotics Exhibits & Devices; and “Hands On” Scientific, Technological & Interactive Art Exhibits. Our innovative, interactive, inexpensive, durable & easy to maintain creations incorporate interactive technologies & designs for people with disabilities and other special needs. We also provide our own Educational Kits & Materials for K thru 12/College & University level curriculums.
Our Exhibit Sales Customers include World-Class Science Centers, Museums, Universities, NASA, Royalty, Foreign & Domestic Governments, the Film Industries for inclusion in media productions, etc. We specialize in Cybernetics, Bionics, Mechatronics, Autonomics, Animatronics & Teleoperated devices.
Our Humanitarian & Environmental Research & Development has been presented before and/or published and awarded by: the United Nations, NASA-Emhart, Stanford, Cambridge, ICORR, ROMAN, IEEE, Discover Awards, International Federation of Robotics (IFR), etc. Our 1990's circa, original innovative R & D in "Facial Feature Controlled Technology" and "Artificial Sense of Touch Technology" (Adaptive Technology prototypes for the disabled), has helped pioneer those fields! We were the only company in the world to be awarded an entire chapter regarding our work in the International Federation of Robotics (IFR) “World Robotics; Service Robotics, 2011”.

Because of how the blonde had a lot more surface damage, odor issues, loose elastic and balding spots, I decided that masking tape feet guy could have benefitted better from the parts than him.
So with a bit of yanking and crying, Masking Tape guy had the limbs of Blondie, and hands from an Obitsu male Normal body’s hands, which, btw has the perfect sized posts to fit into Vintage Joe arms.
Alpha Joe didn’t have much to do except I swapped out his hands with a pair of repro GI Joe hands so I’m pretty proud to have almost two complete Vintage Joes for Under $10. Their hair is pretty darn full of flocking too, I just need to carefully pick out the dust and lint that has matted it, as well as touch up their paint and scruffed noses.
poor Blondie though is just parts bait til i figure out what to do with him.

When a relationship takes the next step and cohabitation is on the table it will mean joining households from silverware to #furniture. Thinking about doing it and even planning a housewarming party is fun until it is time to pack up one household goods to merge it with the other partner's belongings. This is when some tips for moving are extremely helpful.
The Reasons
Deciding to move in together might be an easy decision, but it should also be for the right reasons. Spending time at a partner's house and keeping a toothbrush there is not enough of a reason in the scheme of things. Just like both people saving on rent is not a good reason even if half of the time together is spent at one person's home, since the other half of the time is spent separately. #Moving in together will change the dynamic of the relationship, which means there should be a real discussion about if it is the right time to move the relationship forward.
Moving to Where?
Once the decision is discussed and it is agreed the reason to move in together is to further the relationship. The next step the next decision will need to be whose home to move into or will you both move to a new house. When moving to a new house there is the advantage of having the feeling of "our home" rather than their house or my house. It is a shared home, instead of a house that is already decorated, furniture and other #household items in place with the person moving in only merging their belongings. There is no feeling of room being made in a dresser drawer or closet, instead with a new place it is putting everything together in its place. It is a blending of two separate lives and this will mean packing up both households into Cardboard Boxes.
The Fun Part of Adult Decisions
Moving in together can be exciting and fun to consider but then the reality of being an adult must be discussed. One topic should be whose name or will both be on the lease and utilities? This includes finances and how bills would be handled. This should be done prior to packing the first Cardboard Boxes or signing a lease. Will the rent and other bills be paid fifty-fifty or will the partner with a higher income help by paying extra? Who will be paying the bills and how will groceries be split and who will do the shopping? Whose name or will both names be on the utilities? Having this discussion is essential to avoid problems later after moving everything in and finding out these things create friction or worse by affecting credit when utilities are turned off.
The next part of the discussion should include the rules, such as who will be responsible for laundry, cleaning, taking out the trash and other chores. This may seem a silly part of the conversation but it is important to be clear who will be expected to be responsible or will all the chores be shared. Does one partner get home from work earlier than the other and can make meals? Does one partner have weekends off that will clean? Adult decisions are not always fun but are practical #conversations to have when moving into one house.
Decorating
Decorating is one of those situations that one partner may have ideas of what they want while not considering what the other person wants. This is another conversation that should be had to ensure both partners are happy about the move.
The other important part of moving in together is having a private space, whether it is to read, surf on the computer or does some kind of craft or hobby. Even people living together need some apart time when at home after the newness wears off.

Relocated to Hong Kong on a (hopefully) VERY temporary basis. It feels good being away from the risk of radioactive fallout but at the same time I want to return to Japan as soon as possible. For the time being I'm trapped in Hong Kong. Let's hope the situation in Japan gets a lot better soon - especially for those in need . . .
If you want to help the people of Japan, have a look at:
Site of relocated 1932 Los Angeles Olympic Village cottages, Pacific Coast Highway, Malibu California.
According to a 1984 Los Angeles Times article, "one of these Malibu cottages has been remodeled and enlarged but is essentially the same 'temporary' building that housed four athletes in the Olympic Village in 1932.
Most of the 600 buildings on the 250-acre site were sold as scrap material immediately after the games, many were hauled away in parts and reassembled in various locations."

While visiting Los Angeles, we had to check out some of the landmarks. Angels Flight is a short railway that only covers one block uphill on Bunker Hill. It was build in 1901 when Bunker Hill was one of the most posh neighborhoods in Los Angeles and ferried prominent citizens up and down the steep hill. Since then it has been relocated, refurbished and takes you to the skycrapers. Angels Flight has appeared in several films and TV shows, like City of Angels with Nicolas Cage, The Bold and the Beautiful, a episode of NCIS: Los Angeles and etc.
I meet my next stranger just after we got off the Angel Flight car, she walked up to us and asked if we wanted our picture taken. In response I asked her if I could take her picture. She started asking me questions, that's when I told her about the project. It took a little while to convince her and I needed to do it quickly, since she was on her lunch break. The first one was shot under the trees and I though it was to dark, the second one in the sun. I like her smile better in this photo. I told her thank you and told her how to find the site. As she was walking across the street I realized I didn't ask her for her name. I didn't see her again in the market place, but I hope she will like this photo and let me know her first name. #11 Stranger thank you for kindness and letting me take your picture.
This picture is #11 in my 100 strangers project. Find out more about the project and see pictures taken by other photographers at the 100 Strangers Flickr Group page

I have officially transferred to a new department now that Communication has been deprecated. I'll tell more in a blog post next week. For now, I'm sharing a farewell image of my previous office and a glimpse at the early stages of setting up my new workspace.

The Spirit of Hervey Bay Cruise and Fraser Island.
This largest sand island in the world at 120 kms long was declared a world heritage site in 1992. Geographically it is exceptional as it has areas of rainforest, open eucalyptus forest, heathlands, peat bogs and more. Its fauna includes reptiles, frogs and sometimes salt water crocodiles as well as numerous bird species and a few mammals – native mice, wallabies, possums, echidnas and dingoes etc. The sand of Fraser Island have been carried by northerly currents along the Australia coast and has been dumped along a spit which led to the formation of the island over thousands of years. Rain has created at least one creek on the island and winds from the ocean have led to the formation of dunes. As dunes have piled up on each other the central range of his sand hills were formed. Where clays have washed through the sand dunes coloured sands have been formed. Fraser Island also has over 100 fresh water lakes.
Fraser Island was named after Eliza Fraser and her husband who were shipwrecked on the island in 1836 in a ship called the Stirling Castle. The passengers and crew then boarded lifeboats and set sails for Moreton Bay convict settlement to the south (Brisbane). Unfortunately the pregnant Eliza Fraser gave birth to a child in the life boat but the child did not survive. The life boat that the Frasers were in was taking water and was left behind by the other life boat. The occupants eventually landed on a great sandy island which is now known as Fraser Island. All the boat occupants died except for Eliza Fraser who was taken in by the local Aboriginal people. She was rescued six weeks later and taken back to Moreton Bay. Six months later she married again and returned to live in England. Here she told lurid tales of her adventure which by then included murder, torture and cannibalism. No one is quite certain of what really happened to Eliza Fraser on Fraser Island as she kept altering her story of the events. What is known is that the local Aboriginal people had lived on Fraser Island for about 5,000 years. They were removed from the island by the Queensland government in 1904 and relocated to several different Aboriginal mission stations. The Badtjala people were granted native title rights over the island in 2014. Today the island is a haven for tourists and up to half a million of them visit the island each year.
Wide Bay between Hervey Bay and Fraser Island is a favoured spot for humpback whales to play and rest and mate on their annual migration from the Artic areas. There are often 400 to 500 humpback whales in Wide Bay at any one time and around 5,000 humpback whales visit the bay each year between July and November. The Spirit of Hervey Bay is the largest of the whale watching operators in Wide Bay and along Fraser Island.

Interceptor line relocation underway
CORONA, Calif. — U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Los Angeles District Commander Col. Mark Toy participated in ground breaking ceremonies at the relocation of the Santa Ana River Interceptor line Oct. 11.
The SARI line is a regional sanitary sewer line that serves Yorba Linda, east Anaheim, Orange, Santa Ana, Fountain Valley and portions of Garden Grove.
According to the Santa Ana Watershed Project Authority, the SARI line was built nearly 40 years ago and was 20 feet below the surface. Decades of scouring and last year’s December storms threatened the line and required a reduced flow from Prado Dam and reinforcement by county workers at two locations to protect it.
“Thanks to our partners, this work will have a significant impact along the course of the Santa Ana River Mainstem project,” said Toy.
In support of the Mainstem project, Prado Dam’s flood basin has been increased by more than 140,000 acre-feet and river banks have been widened and strengthened below the dam to handle its new release capacity of 30,000 cubic feet per second, previously limited to 5,000 cfs.
The SARI line’s new course will mostly parallel State Route 91. Where it has to pass under the river, it will be well below the calculated scour depth for the estimated operational life of the project, which is 100 years.
As part of the ceremony participants got to sign a section of the 54-inch pipeline. Toy took the opportunity to endorse the project with the District motto, "Building Strong and Taking Care of People."
This Bowstring Truss bridge was relocated to this site near Santa Fe Lake on the south side of Chanute in 1996. It was originally built in the 1870s over the Neosho River by the King Iron Bridge Co. of Cleveland, Ohio. It was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1977.
Chanute is a small city of around 9,000 people located in the northwestern corner of Neosho County. It is that county's largest city, despite the fact that the small town of Erie is the Neosho County seat.

Kenworth La Sarre has relocated to a new and larger 12,000-square-foot facility to enhance its support of truck operators and fleets in the mining, timber and agricultural industries in northwestern Quebec. Kenworth La Sarre is affiliated with Kenworth Val d’Or and Kenworth dealer Centre du Camion in Amos, which built a new 37,000-square-foot dealership in 2015 located 90 kilometers to the east.
From the movie at the visitor center.
In 1942, the United States government ordered more than 110,000 Japanese to leave their homes and detained them in remote, military-style camps. Manzanar War Relocation Center was one of ten camps.
On October 9, 1990, a ceremony was held to present the first reparations checks. Nine elderly Japanese received $20,000 each and a formal apology signed by President George H. W. Bush. Payments to surviving internees or their heirs continued until 1993, Clinton Administration.
The fellow in black in front of the train is about to get a very brief lecture from the conductor about why what he did was stupid, even if the train was stopped. The conductor may have been startled as it does not appear he sees the trespasser yet when I took this one. This train is stopping briefly at the Amtrak station in Columbia though it has almost reached it's destination of Dixiana, SC.
This is commonly called "the ditch" and was part of Columbia's railroad relocation project of the 80s and 90s.

Biserica Bunavestire - Schitul Maicilor, Bucuresti
"The Annunciation" - Schitul Maicilor ["Nuns Skete"] Church
finished in 1726
www.monumenteromania.ro/index.php/monumente/detalii/en/Th...
One of several Bucharest churches moved from their original location during the communist dictatorship and dumped behind new highrise buildings.
After the devastating earthquake of 1977 Nicolae Ceausescu realized that he can remodel Bucharest on a large scale. An area larger than historic Venice in several beautiful residential neighborhoods was demolished to make way for a new administrative center. In total more than 30 churches were demolished all over the town during that time. After a unique, brave and singular protest of several historians only 7 historically important churches were "saved" by relocation behind large buildings, to make them "invisible". The translation was technically done by first pouring a reenforced concrete foundation underneath the church and then slowly moving it to the new location on rails.
People used to joke back then that Bucharest was the only city in the world to have its own unique traffic sign: CAUTION, CROSSING CHURCHES [like the deer crossing sign]

Ceauşima [Ceausescu+Hiroshima]
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ceau%C5%9Fima
Ceauşima ("Ceaushima") is a vernacular word construction in Romanian, sarcastically linking former communist leader Nicolae Ceauşescu to Hiroshima. This portmanteau term was sometimes coined in the 1980s to describe the huge urban areas of Bucharest that Ceauşescu ordered torn down, comparing the results with the nuclear attack on Hiroshima.
