I am the Alaskanbeader, and I am currently taking a course to enhance or, more realistically, create my web communication skills. I have taught for the University of Alaska Fairbanks and its affiliates in various capacities for more than 30 years. Additionally I own the brick and mortar beadstore Pristine’s in Fairbanks, Alaska. The stores website is at http://www.pristinesbeads.com and with approximately 1200 pages of beads, books, and other bead goodies available to you it is well worth a visit. Also available through the website are my most current two bead books Pristine’s Beaded Alive: A Natural Beginning and Pristine’s Beaded Beauties: Wolves, Bats and Other Critters of Travel, both of which are also available through http://www.amazon.com
A third publication of mine Adolescent Transitional Suicide is currently at a national publisher and expected to be on the market in early 2008.
My next research project on Adolescent Suicide is just beginning to emerge and seems to be focusing on 1st and 2nd order change, balance, logic, habit, and social reform issues, so you can see why in my real world I BEAD! — It keeps me, and those around me, in balance.
