Experimenting with different layer sizes on the Bowden Replicator. Layers sizes from the left at 8 microns, 10 microns, and 20 microns. I'm still working out the correct feed rates and speeds for these settings. It looks like 10 microns is possible, and 8 microns might be a little bit too greedy.
Anchorage, Alaska
Anchorage, Alaska’s largest city, is in the south-central part of the state on the Cook Inlet. It's known for its cultural sites. The city is also a gateway to nearby wilderness areas and mountains including the Chugach, Kenai and Talkeetna.
I resolve to try a new recipe each week from one of the many cookbooks I seem to have gathered and never used.
First on the list? Chocolate Key Lime Pie!

From the museum label to the Installation:
THE HUMAN FLOOD
Why would anyone flee their home, community, culture, land, and the people they love? Simply put: because they must. In a word: desperation. Estimates vary on the numbers, but we know tens of millions of people, domestically and globally, have already been displaced by the effects of climate change. The noose is tightening because of land made uninhabitable by flooding, fire, excessive heat, or drought. The Human Flood focuses on the humanitarian consequences of climate change. Artists Ellyn Weiss and Sondra N. Arkin have created an immersive, multi-media installation that puts a human face to the climate crisis. They don't distinguish between the domestic and foreign diaspora. The displaced figures depicted could be from New Orleans or San Juan or Darfur. We're all living on the same planet. This could happen to you.
On August 23, 2013, the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on NASA’s Aqua satellite acquired this image of the drought-fueled Rim fire burning in central California, near Yosemite National Park.
Red outlines indicate hot spots where MODIS detected unusually warm surface temperatures associated with fires. Winds blew a thick smoke plume toward the northeast. A smaller fire—American fire—burned to the north. The lower image is a photograph that shows the fire burning at night on August 21.
Started on August 17, 2013, the fast-moving fire had already charred more than 100,000 acres (40,000 hectares) by August 23, despite the efforts of more than 2,000 firefighters. Hundreds of people were forced to evacuate their homes, and roads in the area were closed. As of August 23, no structures had been reported destroyed, but the fire threatened the towns of Groveland and Pine Mountain Lake.
By late August, wildfires had burned 3.4 million acres in the United States, making 2013 somewhat less active than other recent years. Over the last decade, fires charred 5.7 million acres on average by August 22, according to statistics published the National Interagency Fire Center.

So now that I've taken a photograph of them, I suppose I'd better use them......

Monks pray at under the sacred bodhi tree in Bodhgaya, Bihar. Bodhgaya and the Mahabodhi Temple is believed to be the place where Prince Siddharta meditated and attained enlightenment to become the Buddha.
A cutting from the original tree that the Buddha meditated under has been replanted through the ages and monks from all over the Buddhist world flock in vast number to make a pilgramage to the holiest site in Buddhism.
