HSB Turning Torso is the tallest skyscraper in Sweden and the Nordic countries, situated in Malmö, Sweden. It was designed by the Spanish architect Santiago Calatrava and officially opened on 27 August 2005. The tower reaches a height of 190 metres (623 feet) with 54 stories.

This is my take on the turning Twenty pattern. I didn't have a copy of the pattern when I cut this so I took a wild guess and it worked! The two main fabrics are Heather Ross "puss and Owl" and the moon faces. The photo isn't the greatest because my sewing room is in the basement with no natural light. The colours aren't that garish IRL.
If I could turn back time, I'd like to meet these people--my paternal great-grandparents Andrew Neil and Fanny Holmes Neil, circa late very early 1900s. I love the posture of these two---there is a closeness and comfortableness in the way that they are posing together.
Andrew was an 1858 immigrant from Sorbie, Wigtownshire, Scotland and Fanny came to the US from Ireland, most likely Tyrone County, in 1863,
My mother recently found this photo in a box of my grandmother's with no identification on it. The hat the farmer is wearing and the woman's bonnet, along with the farm implements and horses seem to indicate the 1890s to early 1900s.
It is very difficult to identify the people for certain because their faces--in particular, his--are obscured; but, I know other family members can be ruled out. The woman in the photograph resembles a photo of Fanny when she was much older, which can be found in my photostream.
I am confident that this isn't a photograph of my other set of grandparents; so, I am basing my identification of this man as Andrew based on my firm belief that the woman is Fanny.
The architect of Turning Torso, Santiago Calatrava, was born in Valencia in Spain. There, they have several public buildings drawn by Calatrava. Now, the city of Valencia wants to build four residential skyscrapers similar to Turning Torso. The tallest skyscraper would be 280 meters high.
This is the first twisting skyscraper of its kind in the world, and has already inspired variations such as Infinity Tower in Dubai and Calatrava's own Chicago Spire in Chicago and Torres de Calatrava in Valencia.
Along with other Calatrava designs, Turning Torso was featured as a work of art in an exhibition at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City from October 2005 to January 2006.
Apologies for the poor quality of this snap, the sun was unco-operative and my wife was a tadge slow washing the screen. (Apparently my fault for not topping up the bottle)

Tool steel is being turned on the lathe to make a precision circular cutter. This cutter will be hardened and used only once to help make the gear tooth form cutter.
Turning Tide. Not often the high tide schedule coincides perfectly with sunset when on the Bay of Fundy. Add the possibility of cloud cover blocking any beautiful light from shining through on those few select nights. But when light, subject, and the moment agree, the camera tells a beautiful story.
Turning torso, it has 54 (?) floors. In Malmö, Sweden. It looks like it is turning around. Makes you dizzy. 8/2005
Axles for the shay were turned in a collet holder. In this photo, the shop made saw holder has been used to cut two relief grooves using a 1/32" saw blade. The lathe is turned at 230 rpm and the saw is rotated using a portable drill in the opposite direction to cut each groove.
Jon came over tonight with four recipes to cook. His boyfriend does not eat lamb, and so Jon was itching to cook his own recipe for spicy lamb sausage. From other sources, he culled together recipes, or as he likes to call them "guidelines," for us to cook. We had nice conversations about Slow Food, the beginnings of Pansy Division, and McCain/Obama.
Tuscan Kale with Anchovies, Golden Raisins & Pine Nuts
2 tbl sp gold raisins
2 bunches Tuscan kale, ribs removed
1.5 tbl sp pine nuts
3 tbl sp olive oil
2 garlic cloves, minced
pinch of het red chile flakes
4 anchovy filets, minced
kosher salt
Instructions:
Put the raisins in a small bowl and cover with warn water. Set aside to plump for 30 minutes, then drain.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Add the kale and boil until tender, 5-6 minutes. Drain and rinse under cold running water to stop the cooking. Drain again and queeze dry. Chop Coarsely. (Oops, we didn't do the last three steps...)
Preheat oven to 325. Toast the pine nuts on a small baking sheet until golden, about 10 minutes. Let cool.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over moderately low heat. Add the garlic and the chile flakes. Saute until the garlic is fragrant, about 1 minute. Remove the skillet from the heat, let it cool for a minute, then add the anchovies. Stir until they dissolve in the warmth of the skillet. Return the skillet to moderately low heat and add the kale, drained raisins, toasted pine nuts and salt to taste. Cook, stirring, until all the ingredients are well distributed and the greens are hot throughout. Serve immediately.
Saffron Potatoes
Ingredients:
Pinch of saffron threads, about 15
1 1/4 cups of water
2lb medium potatoes
1/2 stick butter (1/4 cup) unsalted
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
Crumble saffron threads into water.
Peel potatoes and cut crosswise into 3/4 inch-thick slices. Rinse potatoes well and pat dry between paper towels.
Heat butter in a 12-inch nonstick skillet over moderately high heat until foam subsides, then brown potatoes in one layer, turning over carefully, about four minutes per side. Add saffron-infused water, salt, and pepper and briskly simmer, uncovered, over moderate heat, 5 minutes. Reduce heat to moderately low and simmer until potatoes are tender and the water is evaporated, about 15 to 20 minutes more.
Jon's Spicy Lamb Sausage
1/2 lb ground lamb
1/2 chopped onion
2 garlic cloves
salt, pepper
1 bay leaf
chopped cilantro
1 chopped tomatoe
mint leaves
2 chopped pasilla peppers
a light amount of oil- 1 tsp
The small amount of oil is because lamb sausage can be a bit oil itself. Heat the pan up hot, add oil, add ground lamb, break it up. Bring down to low heat. When it starts browning, add all other ingredients.
Lemony Mint Punch
1/2 cup sugar
10 sprigs mint
juice of 4 lemons
1 quart gingerale
mint sprigs or scented pelargonium leaves for garnish.
Combine the sugar and water in a saucepan and heat, stirring over medium-high heat until the sugar dissolves. Off heat, add the mint. Cover the pan and steep for 2 minutes, then chill in the refridgerator.
When ready to serve, pour the liquid into a 2 quart pitcher, discarding the mint sprigs. Add the lemon juice and ginger ale. Serve over ice and garnish each serving with a mint sprig.
Woah.
I will definitely try the lemon mint punch and the sausage again. also the kale. the potatoes were also really good, but the saffron was not so apparent- not even a hint of it, actually- and it was just brown buttered potatoes. Nothing to scoff at- just nothing amazing.
Historic turning stones in Geraldine used to guide horse drawn wagons along narrow lanes in the mid to late 1800s.
The horses turned into the lane and then the attached wagon would be brought into alignment by the off-side wheel hub catching on the stone and pivoting it into a straight line.
Most of the stones were removed as motorized vehicles took over from horses.

with arrestor on top phase.On the old line, there was a static wire on top.The old line used a crossarm with three pintype insulators on it. the new one that replaced it uses 69kv posts, anticipating upgrade to higher voltage.
