ITV Border's Sandy McCracken arrived at the cottage with cameraman Paul yesterday to film a short piece for the ITV programme "Border Life". The sun shone brightly and the Cruck Cottage looked fantastic following the recent repairs carried out to the thatched roof and having been freshly lime washed by our army of community volunteers.
Once again local residents came along to help us make this another "special" occasion, becoming the audience for the day. Interviews were given by Michael, Willie and Bill Lawson providing an insight into the Cruck Cottages past, present and future - they were excellent.
Our thanks to all those who once again gave their time to help us - it is, as always, greatly appreciated!
Right near the border (basically runs along it), between New York and Quebec; Akwesasne Mohawk Territory.

The fence between the U.S. & Mexico, which is largely made from the old decks of aircraft carriers @ this section,
& a lighthouse---El Faro---which is on the Mexican side of the border. The road circles around the Bullring-by-the-Sea. The obelisk in the background, by the tree, was dedicated by President Richard M. Nixon, to celebrate the establishment of "Border Field State Park." The dark fence is made from the decks of old aircraft carrier decks & parts of U.S. Navy battleships, etc.
Rory likes to get Pixie to chase him. He's much faster than her, so he has to stop and let her catch up.
I met my dogs through the Blue Ridge Border Collie Rescue www.brbcr.org/
I hadn't done these in a reeeeaaallly long time so I had to refresh my memory by looking at the instructions in some books (which weren't quite the way I was taught) and then digging out my notes from a machine sampler class I took...sometime before 2003 (i.e., I still lived in NYC then). I'm so psyched they turned out so well! Now hopefully the next time I do them won't be so far off and I'll remember how!
Yes, you may recognize the border fabric as the same green from the Scrappy Baby quilt I made my cousin Felix. who did, btw, dig it out of his box of toys the other day and lay his stuffed kitty down on it for her nap. Completely unprompted! :)

Specially selected passengers have taken a trip on the Borders to Edinburgh railway a day ahead of the opening of the new Scottish Borders rail line to the general public.
The owners of a Golden Ticket traveled on three trains leaving Tweedbank, Galashiels and Stow, each carrying 160 passengers.
Others making the trip were nominated by the public or won competitions.
The 30 miles of new track between Tweedbank in the Borders and Edinburgh opens to the public on Sunday.

Crossing from Albania to Montenegro is rather unpredictable, and can take 45 minutes to one-and-a-half hours. Both countries were at this time official candidates to join EU.
I did not see any person directing traffic. There appeared to be two lines heading to the border agents. However, the left lane behind the blue Audi actually was a lane for cars coming from the left side and travelling in the opposite direction. Later on, a car from the left lane was able to negotiate across the right lane and went straight to the border agent along the empty space on the right side, ahead of everybody. I am sure there is a system in this madness, which I did not understand.
Aside from this, I have read that the Montenegro-Albania border is closely watched. Entrepreneurial smugglers were offering Asian and North African migrants a new route into the European Union, running from Greece through Albania, Montenegro and Bosnia to Croatia, a member state of the European Union.

Borders San Francisco
As of January 30, 2010, the company operated 511 Borders superstores in the world, including 508 in the U.S. and three in Puerto Rico.
On February 16, 2011, Borders applied for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection and began liquidating 226 of its stores in the United States. Despite an offer from the private-equity firm Najafi Companies, Borders was not able to find a buyer before its July 17 bidding deadline, and therefore began liquidating its remaining 399 retail outlets on July 22, with the last remaining stores closing their doors on Sunday, September 18, 2011.[5] The Chapter 11 case is ultimately being converted to Chapter 7
