Фотографии и отзывы от Space★Pirate
Space Battleship Yamato 2199 - Cosmo Fleet Special Zelguud-class Dreadnausht Domelus III
Good model, should be in scale with the already released Yamato
Black Rock Shooter: THE GAME "BRS2035" figma Action Figure
Can't wait to see more BRS girls coming out, but lately they are all exclusives or come bundled with something, this one is great, like all the BRS Girls :D
Ga-rei Zero: Isayama Yomi Figma Action Figure
My favorite Figma so far, i think the older Figmas was way better than the new ones, but that's my opinion, this one is perfect, and now is very rare and hard to get, so if you find one pick it up, must have for any Figma fan.
Nendoroid: Black Rock Shooter - Black Gold Saw Action Figure
Nendos always look good on pictures, specially the BRS Girls!! so cute and a lot of fun with them :D.
RAH Shikinami Asuka Langley Uniform ver.
Want the perfect Asuka figure in his School outfit, this is it!, great articulation, great sculpt and detail, the only main problem is that this one is not in scale at 1/6, because if it was at 1/6 this one should be like 25cm height, but this one is like 30cm. overall great figure and look perfect on any shelf, wish they have included more accesories like his school bag, but Medicom has never been to good to add accesories on their RAH line.
figma Black Rock Shooter (PVC Figure)
Like Huke's designs? then pick this up, is great, kinda hard to get right now specially with a lot of knock off out there, so pick up on a autorized dealer like Plamoya!
figma Ayanami Rei Plugsuit Ver. (PVC Figure)
Better than the Revoltech, i mean way much better, great sculpt, and some great accesories, highly recommended.
Super Robot Chogokin Mazinger Z
Cheap high-end Chogokin toy, that's Super Robot Chogokin from Bandai, great articulation, paitn job, design, and accesories and they are really cheap, sometimes you pay the same amount for a toy that doesn't have this level of quality.
Nendoroid Saber: Super Moveable Edition (PVC Figure)
The problem with nendos is that they are sometimes expensive for their size, i mean Figmas are cheaper and bigger and look better next to their anime counterpart, but this little toys are way to fun to play with and also to photo shoot them that's why i like them and if you're a fan of Saber this is a must have. and it also have great articulation coz this is the Super Movable version, wish you don't need to swap arms or legs to get some different poses.
Oreimo: Kirino Kosaka Figma Action Figure
Figmas, are great, tons of articulation, tons of accesories, and very accurate sculpt to the Anime, i like a lot Kirino, and this one is a must have for any fans of the Ore no Imouto... anime, is kinda small compared to other figmas, but that's how the character looks like on the Anime, she's a teenager, i recommend this one for sure, and is not expensive at all in fact is one of the most cheapest Figmas.

Book – When I started reading this book, I didn't know much about it, other than that it had a glow-in-the-dark octopus on the cover. And really, what else do you need to know? The octopus, fortunately, is a character (although he doesn't glow in the dark) – Katsu, a mechanical octopus made by the titular watchmaker, Mori, a Japanese nobleman who has moved to England to practice the art of making tiny things out of even tinier gears. We meet him through Thaniel Steepleton, a telegraphist recently recruited by Scotland Yard, who is being used by his superiors to investigate Mori as a suspect behind a high-profile bombing.
This is fantasy only by the thinnest hair, and steampunk only because of the prominence of Mori's fantastic clockwork creations (and their proximity to Japantown's fireworks shops). The plot circles around the investigation of the bombing, but Thaniel and Mori's relationship is the real core of the book, growing slowly through mistrust and uncertainty into a deep, heartfelt connection. I was a little iffy about it for the first few chapters; by the end, I was entirely in love.

Kibera Town Centre (KTC as it's known) stands two storeys proud amongst the crowded dwellings and dusty railway track that runs through one of Nairobi's largest and most vibrant townships. I visited it with Margaret Koli, a young community leader and award-winning visionary, who works with Human Needs Project (a long-time Leaders' Quest host). At KTC, Human Needs Project is providing affordable showers, sanitation, and laundry facilities for up to 1,500 commuters and households every day. Many of these people are making their way in to Nairobi for work, and the project's busiest times are 5 am (security guards, factory workers) and 8 pm, when tired workers return to their tiny dwellings.
Underneath the centre is a $2 million labyrinth of water pumps, purifiers and sediment makers designed by David Warner, an ingenious American engineer, with the help of companies such as Grundfos, Redhorse, Questa, Manz Engineering, and UC Davis (all US constructors), and East African company Davis and Shirtliff. The network of pipes feeds off a 1,000 foot-deep borehole, pulling from a seam of clean and warm water (30 degrees) deep within the volcanic Rift Valley.
Margaret shows me the clean, inviting shower facilities with individually notched flip flops for regular users, towels and soap. The ladies' unit now offers hair and nail painting services too. "There's no space for washing or laundry inside the houses here. Women sometimes wash at night, outside their houses (for privacy), but this can be dangerous," she says, as we look out onto a maze of hot, rusted corrugated iron roofs, criss-crossed with tiny alleyways and non-stop, fast-moving traffic of pedestrians, people carrying furniture, dried fish, water containers, and children going to school.
Human Needs Project began setting up KTC four years ago, starting with the challenge of designing and building a massive pumping and washing facility. Despite this being a political rally hot-spot (and potential source of violence), there's been no vandalism and no attacks. "The community trusts us and values the service we provide, so we're safe here," Margaret says, as a water-carrying truck stops to fill up from the big bowser hose (and pays for what it takes) before making its way into Nairobi to sell the water to households in the nearby richer suburbs.
But KTC doesn't just provide clean water and washing. The centre also provides a cyber cafe, micro-credit, training courses, a library, and a shop selling fuel-efficient cookstoves. "Business involvement – and their patient support – has been key. For example, a fibre-optic firm (JTL Faiba) pulled the superfast cable into KTC in just four days so we could launch our computer room in time for our community open day, and our insurance company has been very patient with our premiums." She gestures to the La Marzocca coffee machine in the café. "An Italian engineer from Florence came out and serviced this recently, and checked up on the quality of coffee. I think he was satisfied." Whilst coffee is taking a while to catch on amongst Kibera residents, it's certainly a hot favourite amongst the many local NGO staff who frequent the cafe. After all, hot volcanic water and great Kenyan coffee and you get a wonderful drink! [Kenyan Open Questors – you are in for a wonderful cuppa, courtesy of Morgan who runs the friendly cafe.]
Procter & Gamble have been partners of Human Needs Project since a Quest visit in 2012, and they've been trialling water-efficient washing powder and getting feedback from women on all manner of things – from 'sudsiness' to how hand soap is used in combination with washing powder to create more foam. Human Needs Project and Margaret envision that the operating costs of KTC will soon be covered by user fees and the sale of water (at affordable prices). She thinks this will take a while yet – after all, KTC has only been operating all its services for a year, but signs are that demand is increasing. Judging by the packed classes, busy cafe and steaming showers, this wonderful organisation will need to expand – and take its offering to other parts of Nairobi.
I left Nairobi feeling incredibly inspired by the way Margaret and Human Needs Project rely on, involve and support business – international and local – in their service of the community. I can't wait for my next visit – and my next cup of KTC coffee!

I'm almost sad to see this release come to an end, but here we are at the last of the Hipster collection with
Good morning, Oddies! Alexis here and I've got a creepy, watery, watercolor tutorial for you just after Halloween. I've been obsessed with watercolor lately and as soon as Kristy released the Wraith Mae Digi stamp, I instantly had an idea for a drowned bride card. Now, I'm not one for scares. Please don't jump out at me and please don't show me gross scary movies. That being said, I still LOVE Halloween and I do love creepy fun suspense and one of my favorite Halloween themes is the Disney's Haunted Mansion and my favorite part of the ride is the ghostly bride who hauntingly promises that you'll be joining her soon. The hair on Wraith Mae made me think of drowning, the way it seems to be floating up toward the sky and that dress instantly said bride.
With inspiration firmly in hand, all that was left was to put ink to paper. Literally.
I started out with my supplies to make a water color background, including Distress Inks, Hot Pressed water color paper, brushes and lots and lots of water! The key to this method of watercolor is to thoroughly saturate the paper with water first thing. I then added, one at a time, my Distress Inks in splotches over the page and tilting my paper around, letting the color spread across the page in streaky waves. I kept most of the color at the bottom, tilting the paper upside down so it created spindly arms of color reaching up from the bottom and I kept my colors scheme soft blue, eerie green and warm grey.
Once the color was set the way I wanted, I dried it thoroughly with a craft dryer and let it sit for a few minutes before moving onto the next steps.
First I sprinkled some water droplets onto my dried page and let them sit for a moment before blotting them off. Since the Distress Inks reactivate in water, this creates lovely soft spots in the design. Then I sprayed a little white ink and a little shimmer over the page to give it a haunting shimmer. I thought the sentiment from the Under the Sea Mae clear set seemed suitably creepy and ominous in this context. In fact, I might never look at this sentiment quite the same way….
The nice thing about watercolor backgrounds is that you don't need to add much else to make an awesome card. I matted it on a shimmery turquoise card stock and added a few touches of shimmer with Wink of Stella brushes and enamel dots.
And then I got to add my super creepy Wraith Mae and we had a finished card!
I was excited to get to play with this Digi before Halloween! I love how she looks on my watery watercolor background and I hope she creeps into your life soon!

Ray Davies: Sixty Years a Kink
Published: 2004-06-21
Email this article
Print this article
Sixty years ago on this very day (June 21st), the man who would eventually become the driving force behind the Kinks was born in London, England. That man is Ray Davies, the lead singer and primary songwriter for the British band.
Along with his brother Dave, his schoolmate Peter Quaife and drummer Mick Avory, Ray formed the first incarnation of the Kinks in 1963. Caught up in the skiffle craze of the sixties, the Kinks put their own spin on the genre, and eventually broke through in 1964 with their first number one hit – a song penned by Ray.
Never as appreciated as the Beatles or the Rolling Stones, the Kinks still rightfully hold their place as one of the most influential British Invasion groups. Although they deserve much more reverence than they receive, many people are familiar with the Kinks' music without even knowing it. That first number one hit the Kinks scored in '64 has spanned the ages and still receives heavy play today.
Even though it was released forty years ago, absolutely everyone (even the young'uns) knows the song 'You Really Got Me'. Not only do people recognize the tune, but most know all the words, and everyone has played air guitar to that killer riff at least once in their life.
But by no means is 'You Really Got Me' the only song the Kinks gave the world. The band would go on to release 'All Day and All of the Night', 'Sunny Afternoon', and what very may well have been the first top ten hit about a cross dresser, the ever-popular 'Lola'.
So it's a good thing that those sixty years ago Ray Davies was born, because without that event no one would ever have been able to belt out 'YEAHHH you really got me now, you got me so I don't know what I'm doin''. And that, my friends, would be a tragic loss to mankind.

We've put out a bunch of new work recently. Here are some more examples.
We followed on from last year's 'Start Happy' new year campaign for The Guardian with a series of initiatives under the theme of 'head start'. Once again, we collaborated with designer Anthony Burrill on the graphics.
Results after first two weekends were promising: sales were ahead of target and in a survey conducted of readers, campaign awareness was up from last year's total.
We've just launched another phase in the "Start of Something Different' global campaign for iced tea drink brand Nestea. Here's the new TV spot:
And here's a short but entertaining film about how the ad was made:
And continuing the 'Start something different' theme for NESTEA online we have been asking fans to tell us what that something different is that they would like to start. Inspired by the responses, we have been working with Jeremyville to bring these starts to life on our NESTEA Facebook page each day throughout January.
Here's an explanatory video:
We shared some examples of this before. But they're lovely, so here are some more.

The story begins with the narrator, a man of "a noble descent" who calls himself William Wilson, denouncing his profligate past, although he does not accept blame[dubious – discuss]for his actions, saying that "man was never thus [...] tempted before". After several paragraphs, the narration then segues into a description of Wilson's boyhood, which was spent in a "large, rambling Elizabethan" schoolhouse, "in a misty-looking village of England". The house was huge, with many jumbled paths and rooms, and situated on extensive grounds; the students were kept on site perpetually, however, hemmed in by a fence surmounted by broken glass, only being released for short, guided walks and church service.
William describes meeting another boy who shared the same name, who had roughly the same appearance, and who was even born on exactly the same date — January 19 (which was also Poe's birthday). The other William represents his only competition in academics, sports, and popularity. The boy seemed to compete with him so easily, however, that William thinks it "a proof of his true superiority; since not to be overcome, cost me a perpetual struggle". William's name (he asserts that his actual name is only similar to "William Wilson") embarrasses him because it sounds "plebeian" or common, and he is irked that he must hear the name twice as much on account of the other William.
The boy gradually begins copying William's mannerisms, dress and talk; although, by a "constitutional defect", he could only speak in a whisper, he imitates that whisper exactly. He begins giving William advice of an unspecified nature, which he refuses to heed, resenting the boy's "arrogance". One night he stole into the other William's bedroom and saw that the boy's face had suddenly become exactly like his own. Upon seeing this, William left the academy immediately, only to discover that his double left on the same day.
William eventually attends Eton and Oxford, gradually becoming more debauched and performing what he terms "mischief". For example, he steals exorbitant amounts of money from a poor nobleman by cheating him at cards and trying to seduce a married woman. At each stage, his double eventually appears, his face always covered, whispers a few words sufficient to alert others to William's behavior, and leaves with no others seeing his face. After the last of these incidents, at a ball in Rome, William drags his "unresisting" double—who was wearing identical clothes—into an antechamber, and stabs him fatally.

Seriously, I am so patient. I love sitting in the Chick-Fil-A drive-thru that is 100 cars long. I love patiently sitting in my car waiting for my people to get all their stuff together and get in the car. I love saying we are leaving at a certain time only to be delayed for some magical reason. I love stopping to smell the roses. I refuse to feel rushed or get flustered in an attempt to get something done quickly. I have no ill will towards someone who delays me because they are doing something so charmingly ineptly. Patiently sitting in traffic is one of my favorite pass times. Lines, waiting rooms and ill-made plans are also favorites. I am the most patient with my husband. I love the pace at which he moves, and the pace at which he makes decisions. Patience is my strong suit for sure. It is my default and my go to.
Oh wait, did I say patience, I meant hurrying. I am cracking myself up! Just in case you are reading this and don't actually know me, I could barely type all that above without laughing hysterically. "Patient," would not be a word used to describe me.
This weekend at church Pastor Doug taught on Ephesians 4: 1-6. Check it out:
Therefore I, a prisoner for serving the Lord, beg you to lead a life worthy of your calling, for you have been called by God. 2 Always be humble and gentle. Be patient with each other, making allowance for each other's faults because of your love. 3 Make every effort to keep yourselves united in the Spirit, binding yourselves together with peace. 4 For there is one body and one Spirit, just as you have been called to one glorious hope for the future. 5 There is one Lord, one faith, one baptism, 6 one God and Father of all, who is over all, in all, and living through all.
Tyndale House Publishers. Holy Bible: New Living Translation. Carol Stream, IL: Tyndale House Publishers, 2013. Print.
My friend Ashley was sitting behind me and as soon as Pastor Doug read this passage I turned to her and said "We should go, let's go get breakfast!" I knew it would be one of those days in church when it feels like Pastor is talking directly to me and I wanted to escape with my friend who shares my affinity to avoid talking about words like "gentle, humble and patience." Of course it is Jesus talking directly to me, not actually Pastor Doug. This is how God's word works. It goes right to the heart and says "Oh, its Demo Day baby!"
You see in the passage above where it says "Always be humble and gentle." I read this and feel the impossibility of this command. I didn't use to. In my baby christian days I read stuff like this and was like, "Oh ok, I can do that." I would be the most humble and gentle person you have ever seen for like 30 seconds, and then something would irritate me and all bets were off. I have realized by now when these little gems where being handed out by the Lord, I was in the bathroom or something. I did not get those particular gifts, I bring other things to the table like cuss words and yelling.
Now I read these words and realize my need for the Lord. He is the one that exposes these parts of me that are not like Christ, and asks me to let His power loose to change me. He says to me, "Sarah, you are not humble and gentle, but I AM. If you will deny yourself and seek Me, I can live through you and you will start to reflect humbleness and gentleness to others." It takes me putting my own desires, my flesh, aside and choosing to live by the spirit. The next part of the passage is "be patient with each other." Being patient comes after learning to be humble and gentle.
Patient, patient, patient. Maybe if I type it enough I will understand it. Here is what I do know. I am not patient. Unless you are using it in refer to someone being in a hospital. Then I am very much a "patient." But something tells me that is not what God is talking about here. Do you know how I know I am not patient? Because my favorite word is "HURRY UP!" Here are some of my favorite ways to use this word grouping.
So let me tell you something really funny. Guess what word my husband hates most in the world? You guessed it, "hurry." This word is a cuss word in his book. Nothing makes him shut down faster than someone hurrying him. So as you can imagine this is a hot mess of me hurrying him and him freaking out on me to stop hurrying him. It goes really well. The more I walk with Jesus the more I see my hurried approach to life. The more I become brave enough to look at myself in light of who Jesus is, the more empowered I become to say, "Sarah, where are you going in such a hurry?"
If I hurry my husband, guess who else I hurry? Well, yes my kids, but I'm not talking about them. (I'm not ready to talk about the fact that both of my kids had stutters because they felt so rushed to get a thought out. Literally, the speech therapist said to me, "you have to slow down and look them in the face when they are trying to tell you something. Ouch.) I am talking about the fact that I hurry God. I am impatient with God. I say things like, "God, hurry up and change Jesse so we can get things done faster." "God, hurry up and change me so I look like you." Guess who is not in a hurry because time does not bother Him? That's right God.
Pastor Doug defined patience as, "Gracious and loving waiting." Ashley and I should probably not sit by each other in church because we both laughed so loud at this. Then Jesse looked over at me all smug and self-righteous and smiled at me. Jerk. Just kidding, I love him.
Gracious and loving waiting. Gracious and loving waiting. Gracious and loving waiting. Does anyone else read that definition and start to look for a paper bag to breath in? This is just one more way God is going to teach me to stop trying to be patient and to start trusting Him to change me into someone who reflects His patience. Yes it will hurt, yes it will be a challenge, yes I will try to do it in my own strength and fail. The thrill of hope is that what if I could become patient. What if I could be free of the frustration of a hurried life. What if I could stop hurrying the people I love. What if I could get off this hamster wheel that is "hurry?" What if I could look myself in the face and say, "Why are you in such a hurry anyway? Where are you trying to get to so fast?" Well my friends, that sounds like a glorious way of living to me. I love you Jesus, thank you for being humble and gentle, and thank you for promising to transform me into someone who relfects you.

If anything, through the illusory character she's created, Janine Rostron, a.k.a. Planningtorock, unearths a deeper truth, her masculine, monstrous vocals giving life to an androgynous, mythical creature designed to draw outside the lines of gender. After releasing two albums (2006's Have It All and this year's W), an opera (Tomorrow, In a Year with the Knife and Mt. Sims), and an array of stunning video work, she's become even more alluringly enigmatic and deeply revelatory.

PLANNINGTOROCK: My methods and my humor. But to be honest, I don't think in terms of concealing and non-concealing. It's more about what I give, what feels right onstage. I never feel like I'm concealing. I suppose the process of making my music is pretty private. I spend a lot of time alone.
What does hiding your gender allow you to accomplish as a performer?
I'm not hiding my gender. I'm expanding it. I'm moving it around.
How does one expand gender?
I make visual what my gender feels like to me. It's a visible expression of gender, and I'm customizing it.
Sometimes you wear masks during your shows. Does it obstruct your ability to communicate sincerity?
Not at all. Sincerity actually comes more easily with the mask. My performances are pretty raw, very live. When I'm onstage, every part of me magnifies larger than life, and that includes my identity.
You've said, "The internal worlds of women are not that well represented by society." Can you name a few contemporary female musicians who are fighting against this?
Yeah, lots of them: Laurel Halo, Grimes, Creep, Fatima Al Qadiri, Fever Ray, DJ Chloé. They're all women known for their music, not for their looks.
